 Hi

Forgive the noob query, but what's the policy here with playing out multiple threads which overlap or run concurrently? Kirk and Spock are currently both trying to get Aragorn some clothes to wear, but he can't very well meet both of them, individually, half naked.

A little advice on how to proceed?

That's up to you! It's pretty common to just handwave the same event happening in multiple threads, such as more than one person trying to get him clothed. If you'd prefer not to, just get in touch with the players in question and work something out?

Thanks, Miss Potts.

I'm happy with handwaving, if others are.

It's commonly referred to as "Breaking time," and while it's up to you whether you want to or not, most do, just so they can thread out the possibilities.

Sometimes they'll lock an event to a specific partner, but it's usually something they work out ahead of time.

In short: He can meet both of them half-naked, and you should feel free to let him!

Seconding what people above have said! Sakura has three different people pulling her out of the river and bringing her to the clothing shop, and I just figure on all of them happening in slightly different timelines that sort of collapse together later on. It leaves open the greatest possibilities for CR, and is only mildly mind-bending c:

hahahaha! I laughed so much at this~ XD But yeah, you should see my intro thread! So many of the same things happened with everyone!

Kind of adding to what everyone else said, Eley here got a cold recently and ended up going home with multiple people to be taken care of in various ways all at the same time. XD; I just sort of went along with all of it to build on the CR~ To be honest I was wondering if that was okay or not... so I'm glad to be reassured!
