Okay, I have a few problems with the RPs now.
1: I keep getting overlooked. Whenever I'm expecting a reply, nobody answers. It just makes me feel, I dunno, insignificant and unimportant in the roleplay.
2: My characters are NOT convenient plot devices for other RPers' plans. I don't like that. They have stories of their own, people, and they're not to be treated as things to be used and forgotten later. I wish to use them as characters that'll generally make a difference in the RPs. Is that so much to ask?
3: STOP EXPECTING TOO MUCH FROM ME! That's the very reason why I chose the Invisible User status because I don't want that much pressure put on me in the RPs. I don't like pressure. Besides, I don't do well with it.

Jiggah shwah? Uh... can I say something here? I've been trying to get your characters involved for quite a while and I'm starting to spread myself very thinly here to help you out. Instead, you start backing away in to a corner again when I try and reach out to help.

Not you. It's the other people in a different RP, one that you're not involved in. You know, the Swept Away RP? That one. I keep getting the short end of the stick there that I think that I'm not really needed in that RP.
Really, I'm fine with Time Track, but just haven't had any creative thoughts lately with that one.

Adressing the second issue you threw here:
I threw the idea out to the brainstorming, and recieving no objections, I thought it was okay. I thought you wanted to be involved with what was going on, so I thought this was a good idea to do so, so that you wouldn't feel left out. If you do not like it, I will just make it that Michael was just trying to get a reaction from Aron, and it would be a wonderful mislead in the investigation.
If you don't want it; Michael has no interest at all in Delfina. Easy enough to fix.

I didn't say anything because I didn't want to ruin Eva's wish to work with Dawn. It was still pretty hard to get involved, what with the way that I made my characters' personalities.
I was working with the demon idea for awhile, bringing in first Insane, and then more people. Delfina isn't used to the idea of it living inside her mindscape and she gets so distracted that she usually doesn't see what's going on around her. There's the danger of the demon suddenly freeing itself and taking control and causing damage to the people that Delfina cares about, so that's the reason why she stays outside with the aircraft and she needs the magic of Kathleen and Phoenix as a sort of grounding tool to keep the demon at bay since she doesn't have any knowledge of magic or how to use it in which to protect herself and those that she cares about from the demon's wrath.
Ebony, in the meantime, sticks around because of the children and the fact that the Seeker philosophy intrigues her. She's also interested in what the human world was like and she's just trying to learn as much as she can about it.

Though it would be nice to get an finitive answer to the Michael issue now, I am not going to pressure you further for it until I or Eva would need one.
Since you are giving character summarization, let me give you mine.
Aron is still stressed out. It hasnt been a day already, and he is alive and healthy because of Dawn and Pheonix. He was always aiming for non-dependency on others, but that pretty much slapped it in his face that he needs others, weither he likes it or not. With Delfina not coming to check on him, he is reluctantly obeying what Michael ordered him. He is more or less waiting on Delfina. He doesn't know what is going on with her at all, all he knows about is this amulet which gives her an exit out of the crystal chamber. He is putting his trust to Tess and Ronald to find who did this to him, as he knows that they are better at doing that than himself.
Michael will be just a questionmark for a while. I will sometimes today re-create him without any interest in Delfina, shall you want that to be.
Adam knows very well how to run his mouth in the right direction. He believes that what he did was right. But he knows that those around him, except Michael, do not share the same vision. He has figured out a way to talk himself out of suspicion, armed with the clue that a sniffing dog and a sniffing tuner had been used to track him down. Currently, now he is waiting on Ronald. Shall Ronald not approach him by noon tomorrow, he will go to him.
Eva, if you want to have counter arguments ready, and want to know what exacly Adam will say, PM me and I will summarize.

Delfina has NEVER had a solid relationship in her life as she had been burnt, used, and stood up too many times in the past and she's reluctant to make the first moves. She really doesn't want to get hurt again so she's withdrawn into herself for protection.
She uses the geologist schict as a facade to hide her true feelings and she thinks that nobody cares about her and that they only want to use her. Anyone who wants a relationship with her must work long and hard to break down that protective barrier that she's set around herself.
But if they push her, she withdraws further away...

Aron doesn't know about Delfina's back luck. He want to know what is going on inside her head, but now he is bit doubtful that she wants him to know what is going on. He doubts that Delfina wants to continue. One date, bit of flirting... like friends trying out if it would work, but at that point, they can accept that nothing will happen.
A long time ago, you said you didn't want to RP where player knowledge directly interferred with the characters. Aron doesnt know about Delfina's demons, of the past and current. Thus, he does what he is doing right now; being a coward because he thinks there is nothing going on for him.

I'm just not really sure how to go about this. Delfina's got some issues that she really needs help working out and so far, her problem with keeping a solid relationship with someone is apparently revealing itself. This is causing her to go all emo about it as she doesn't know what to do.
She really needs some help in this department. And lately, she hasn't been getting it, making her feel as lonely as if she were the last human alive.

OK... maybe Dawn will wander into the caves again, since she's feeling kind of stressed from the past days' events. Misty is also following. Maybe they run into each other there and continue to follow?
And maybe I'll have Ronald ask Micheal in for a few questions, but he's got to have more cause to do it.

I dont think they have 'found' Michael, just his scent, and they tracked down Adam, not Michael.
As for Michael's reason for doing it, it is also for the seekers. He also believes that most if not all around him are too soft to take any action. As described previously, he has loose morals. He can threaten, blackmail, extort, main and now kill those that stand in his way or the way of his believes. He is also paranoid towards those not part of the Seekers. He can barely trust Martin for that sake. With Aron's link to the US Army, he deducted, with Adam's info about the hack, that Aron was loose cannon, and dangerous to the Seekers. He wants miminal contact to the locals, and with someone talking to the CIA, that's bad news for him.
There is also the Delfina thing, but I am doing my best to steer away from it until I get EV's answer.

About the Michael thing... My answer: No. Reason: Delfina never had any interest in other Seeker men because she just doesn't connect with any of them. She thought she had something with Sid but that's been blown to dust. She'll most likely ignore any advances and currently she's too preoccupied with the demon to even notice.
Besides, I thought I gave my answer a couple of posts ago.

Ah, the 'never had a relationship' thing I guess. Having a stalker doesn't mean neccicary that one had relationship with the stalker. But anyway. Michael was trying to push Aron into fight then. He also doesnt like the outsiders taking advantage of the Seekers. Seeing Aron hitting on Delfina, and it working, is yet another reason for why he did it. Doesn't mean neccicary that he is interested in Delfina, just that he doesnt like anyone not approved by him hitting on those inside the Seeker organization.
At least it is a good misleading false clue anyway.

There seriously needs to be something fixed with the Cars: New Adventures RP and here's the reason why... and it's quite personal too...
I really hate it when PEOPLE don't discuss with me about a certain event that is to be presented in the RPs. Let me set everyone straight here. I do NOT do spontaniety. It's not my style and I CANNOT make up something right on the spot. I PREFER to have things discussed first before anything happens.
What should've been done first was that the meeting between Tony and Grayston should've been planned out. That hadn't been done, so that caused the RP to grind to a halt because I seriously did NOT know what to do next.
The RP is halted for now until something is figured out.
