Sunday 1.2 - Autopilot

[skyrat13.livejournal.com]

Yohji Grabbed a beer out of the fridge and snapped the cap off, barely even looking as he did so. It was routine and didn't take much of his attention to accomplish. It was one of the many things he could do without looking or thinking; he'd become rather adept at functioning without paying attention.

His mind was a little on the list of tv programs he had surveyed from the paper. A little on his non-existent plans for the evening. More than a little on the last mission they had executed--but he was trying very hard to block that out.

For a brief moment he wondered what his teammates were up to. Something more interesting and fulfilling than you, his brain supplied. This is why thinking was bad.

He sighed, took a gulp of his beer, and flicked on the tv to an anonymous program.

I really need to start going out again, he thought.

I personally, think it would be the least confusing if breakfast was moved into a whole new thread, since it is no longer taking place where the first post is located. I figured Yohji would wander over there on his own but it might seem confusing if he was backtracking into a previous post.

The thing is, I don't want twenty billion threads. It's unneccessary. RPs should be read chronologically anyway, so if it progresses naturally within a thread I don't feel a need to move play to a whole new one. The only thing that does is make it easier for players to find old posts, if they're looking for a certain topic, but it also makes play confusing to follow if you're reading along and then suddenly the thread disappears to a new post.

I think it will be understandable if Yohji jumps back one thread this time, since we have comments noting confusion already in this post. Like I said, my bad. You asked and I didn't give a clear mod answer.

I really want to try and limit new threads to completely different locations, or if a certain character wanders away from a RP interaction that's still going on.

For example, since no one was interacting yet, I should have told you to put your post in the same thread as mine.

In my opinion, it should read more like a story, and less like individual LJ blogs. But that's my opinion, of course.
