So I got a thread upCrystal will come in soon to explain what's going on in more detail as well as kick off the initiation proper, but I figure I should explain why I didn't just start with that.
Frequently with new teams, I'll have a thread before even the initiation where we can establish our characters' personalities in practice and have our characters meet for the first time before they know they'll be on a team. This helps play the character later, as often what we have in mind for a character is better defined than what we wrote in our profile.
However, this time, instead of doing a full thread like that, I've decided to delegate the time on the airship for this kind of interaction.
