OK... Darcy seems to have the connection, but she's been idling a bit too. There are Sonya and Veronica, though, and they could also get involved. Veronica is starting to feel well enough to fly again.

Well, Ebony's been getting a bit depressed as she thinks that she's being pushed aside because she's in term. And there's the fact that even though her friends visit her, they don't stay long and that whenever she tries to tell anyone how she feels, she's told that 'It will be alright' and that everyone is 'with her' and will 'help her through this'.
Right now, she just wants someone to talk to who will not brush her feelings off as unimportant but who will listen to her for a change.
And Kamui, if you read this, what if there's something that interrupts the challenge race between Sapphire and Kamui? Like a Seeker, which would this time be after Ebony, like what was mentioned in the first four posts? That would get Kamui to go after it and Sapphire would have no choice but to follow. The Seeker might lead them to the river or a cave that they'd get trapped in.

Okay. Now that'll work. And since Kamui Exan has her Blade-fan, this could be interesting.

Okay... since I have Sapphire still unconscious, I really don't know what to do with her... I've only gone as far as having Akira use her as a puppet to help him succeed in getting Ebony, but I haven't the slightest idea how I want to go about doing that.
Remember, Akira's goal here is Ebony.
Ebony, on the other hand, is still quite weak and sick and she's cooped up in her Cone until she fully recovers. I do like Zed's platform idea, but I'm having trouble trying to think of how Ebony would feel when she uses it.
My other characters....
Edison Axle Huntress The DRH General Lee Hydro Slick Amber Rosa Melody Meredith
....I just don't know what to do with and half of them are with the search party....
Please help....

Well, I haven't really got anything going on with two of my three characters. I was thinking of maybe introducing a new one (my other GT, Cyrus) in order to give Natalie someone familiar to socialize with, and to contend with on the issue of going home.
If now's not a good time to bring him in, we can continue working on the little friendship she developed with Meredith while working at the heliport. Or we could have her run into Hydro, as she's basically just wandering around at the moment.
Shawn's equally unoccupied. I'd really like to get him over this complex of being such a timid guy around the other aeros. Perhaps we can devise a scenario in which he is befriended, little by little, by Huntress and Lyle.

That really doesn't help. What I wanted was some ideas on how to get my main storyline going. If I can get that, then I can turn my attention to the more minor storylines. Those involved in the main one will get stuck if nobody can come up with something and I don't want to do that.

Then Sapphire will need to get close to Ebony. So that means one or her friends.
Phoenix is going to start up her training for the Piston Cup soon. Phoenix is close to Ebony. Perhaps that is the key.
Sapphire 'offers' to help Phoenix a bit, but only does it to get closer to Ebony.

In truth, Sapphire doesn't know Ebony that well and that would make her attempt to get closer much more interesting. Pointing something out here... when Sapphire was sick, Ebony sent over her books for Sapphire to occupy herself while she was stuck in her trailer. So, Sapphire might "want" to return the favor (by Akira's influence) and help Ebony.
Sapphire would see Phoenix as a potential rival, but she would most possibly be glad to "help" her out with training since she knows a lot about racing on tracks. Been doing it for six years. She'll even offer to "show" Phoenix some of her tricks.
Right now, I'm not sure when I should bring the search party over to where Sonya and Kamui are with the unconscious Sapphire. They'll have to drag her back.
And I'm going to poke you for a bit... when are you going to be finished with drawing Ebony?

As for the rest of the search party.... I'm really not sure. I can't seem to come up with any decent ideas. Maybe you might wanna pick Eva's brain for this one. ^^;;

College started up for me so its taking me longer to get arty and get things done.
I do college in the afternoon, and work usually in the morning or evening. ANd after work is when I'm at my least creative moments. Dealing with idiots all day does that to you.
But it is going to get finished. Hopefully before Febs over with.

OK, about this upcoming Dodge rep fracas... Let's say a couple of reps show up, and they're rather intrusive and assuming that anybody would be flattered by the attention (boy, are they in for a rude awakening), and on top of that, George Sanders, bless his greedy, shrunken, cinder of a soul, is going to try to take advantage of the situation along with a "baby broker" adoption service, and no doubt they've promised him something for his connivance. This would get the war drums going in town, and Darcy proving the old Mopar maxim "Never anger a Superbird." on a very up-close-and-personal level.

Yeah, George would've probably made a deal with the "baby-brokers" that if they could get Ebony to sign some papers that would have her turn the twins over to him once they were born they'd get a big money-related reward from him, but Ebony would be very suspicious and distrustful of such a gesture and would respond accordingly (I.E. - biting). Her gradually increasing discomfort and irritability brought on by the fact of being in term would add force to her responses.
Hmmm... how would Kamui find out about this?

Kamui would almost certainly hear of it from Darcy or the Weathers. How does George ascertain for sure that it's his daughter? And if he's in the unemployment line, where would he get the money to pay this broker? Unless he's planning to stiff them, of course. I take it that wouldn't be out of character for him. And the broker would have to try to find some ploy to attempt to trick Ebony into signing the papers.

Wouldn't Ebony's name already be in the Dodge database since Ebony had Ted searching for her parents? Or at least her Sanders version? I would think that the database required those individuals whose names were in it to provide both their real names and the names that they currently go by. George would connect the name Ebony with Kirsten Sanders if he finds it in the database and would know that Ebony is his daughter.
And about how George would promise to pay the brokers.... I think he'd probably try to trick them into thinking that he actually had a lot of money, which in fact he doesn't. The only money he would have that would allow him a one-way trip to Arizona would be the money that he managed to save up from doing odd jobs.
And tricking Ebony wouldn't be easy... but seeing that she's in term and her emotions are probably a bit unstable, it would probably work if the rep convinced her it would be for the good of the babies and that they would have a home, protection, and the best of care after they were born. After all, who wants to raise babies in a hotel room? And Ebony's so young that the reps would probably think that she wouldn't be able to care for the babies at her age.
At least that's what the reps would think, not knowing that they would be very wrong about that and Ebony would be a very capable mother.
