After Cam's little bout of post-trauma stress, I have nothing to do with him either. Maybe it's now a good time to bring John and his family in?
BTW, if you want to bring Glimmer back into this, you should probably PM Fierano. I don't think he's following the RP anymore.

I PM'd him, so he knows what's currently going on.
As for John and his family, they can be brought in. I have several characters that are free to interact with now, including Ebony, who's now at the diner.

Oh good! It's really got me tied up without him and it's giving me bucket loads of trouble!

I've already brought this up a few times in the RP, but it seems to have been mostly ignored. Since I don't want to clog the RP up even more, I've moved it here.
I'm really, really desperate for an "in", preferably one that would allow me to develop Cam in some way. I don't like staring at the RP as it goes by without a way for me to participate.

I thought I did an OOC in one of my earlier posts in relation to that. And I've been really trying to free up Tempest, but it's hard when so many people want to interact with my characters.
And then there's Jade's vision, which I was thinking would soon be discovered to be related to Cam. Maybe it's a hint to something bigger, but these things take time and I've been pretty low on fresh ideas because of college.
But... maybe an idea can be swiped from the old A Radiator Springs Chrystmas RP... we need some Scrooginess in here. Anyway, I was hoping that Tempest will go see her daughter, who will tell her what is up with Cam, so that the older Enzo will go check it out.

That's why I said "mostly"...you were the only one who even responded to me.
Thanks for the suggestions, I can wait a little bit if that's what it takes. I just don't want so much to happen that my characters would end up completely lost.
Just to help with what you're doing, here's a bit of info about the ghost: Basically, he's been following Cam since the accident, and actually feels forgiving and a bit sympathetic for him, and doesn't want much more than a confession. Cam's subconscious can detect the ghost when he's nearby, and reacts with guilt and fear, which is why Cam is constantly getting nightmares and flashbacks. The supernatural energy concentrated in Radiator Springs, especially after the battle with Bart, has sort of 'amplified' the ghost's presence, which is why Cam is becoming even more unstable. This reaction is frustrating and confusing the ghost.

So, what probably needs to be done is for Tempest to make contact with the ghost and send her astral self into Cam's innerscape - just as Kamui does. But to do that, she would first have to befriend Cam and earn his trust in her, despite her supernatural abilities. (And I need to get her to stop talking in such a formal manner XD).
Inside this innerscape is bamboo forest that surrounds a stone platform, in which all of Cam's memories are stored called the library. Right now, this library might be a little messed up and just needs to be sorted out. This may help lessen the frustration and confusion levels of the ghost so that it would be much easier for him to understand what is going on.
I'm not even sure if this would work, although I've seen it done before with other characters who've had a problem with either their memories or their minds being controlled by something else, and I'm only going by what has been done before.

I remember reading about the innerscape thing when I used to follow the Track Time RP(I don't anymore...not enough time). Seems interesting.
Cam doesn't have much trouble with remembering his memories...but I guess you could say that he's dwelling too much on the accident, so that's a reason to go into his innerscape. Or maybe he would go there to confront the ghost.

Okay, I'll see what I can do with that and... since this is my last day of class this Winter Quarter, I'll be able to have more time to think up some ideas on how to go about doing that... got a little notebook with me wherever I go so I can jot down ideas whenever I'm not near a computer... (^_^)

Looking forward to it...when she would we start this subplot? How about after Cam gets his check-up at Doc's?

Yes.
But one thing about Tempest. She won't seek out Cam because she thinks that kind of behavior is rather rude and impolite, even though she knows about Cam's ghost problems. So I think that their meeting should be accidental and that she can't help but be concerned for Cam's welfare.

Other than the ghost thing that Tracker and I agreed to do with our chars, Tempest and Cam, I haven't had any other creative thoughts lately.
And, sad to say, I haven't been very active in this RP. I'm sorry.
There should be that wedding, I know, but I don't have any clue how it would go and since it would involve a Shooter-style wedding, I don't have any knowledge of something like that.
I know that Slick has been blinded by Emily, but I don't know what to do with him in the meantime.
I mentioned Ebony's Dreamweaver parties... so maybe one could be held in Slick and Kamui's honor...

OK... Hydro needs a girlfriend (so everyone thinks!) and the clinic needs a new nurse to ease Atsuko's load as she should be retiring soon, for REAL this time, which will add to her son's peace of mind. I came up with a pretty copper-coloured Rolls-Royce Phantom from the Mumbai (Bombay) branch of the clan, Kiran Sashti. So Ebony, can Hydro resist a cute Anglo-Indian girl with a lilting accent and a thing for techies?
And I'll try to get something going with Kamui tomorrow.

Well, Hydro (although he doesn't actually belong to me) would be all like stumbling over his own words when he sees her and act like a total clutz, which I think would be hilarious.
Let's do that.

allrightie... say Atsuko announces her upcoming retirement at Ebony's party, because she's interviewing a candidate for the job the next day. They already have an idea that she's east Indian, but don't know anything else. Are they ever going to be in shock when a Rolls comes in...
