Thanks for checking up on me.



Over the past 3 and a half weeks, I've been pretty busy, what with several more hours added at work, starting a new internship, and thinking about the way this story's been going and frankly I don't like the direction it's taking.



I've been thinking about whether or not the tone of our individual writing styles is compatible, along with the stories we want to tell. You seem to want to write a dark and gritty, heavily animesque story with your characters; the next Metal Gear Solid but without the surreal humor or 4th-wall breaks is what I'm seeing from you. That's fine and if that's the kind of stuff Crystal, Jackwasup, or Takeshi want to do as well, cool. You guys do you.



Then here comes the problem: I'm going for something different, probably more of a Guardians of the Galaxy type of feel to it or Supernatural depending my mood and it's pretty clear I've been rewatching Hellsing Ultimate: Abridged. But point still stands; we're working on two different things and I feel like both our projects are suffering for it. My antics feel very out of place and the atmosphere of what you're trying to do is diminished because of that. It's hard to feel the emotional pain and trauma Kurai must be going through in the battle of Tenth when there's a 1/2 dozen mercs treating the fight like it's a bad 80's action sequence and they know it. The other thing that I'm starting to notice is there's no real ebb and flow between our characters. They just kind of do thier own things while existing in the same area and that's probably what kills it the most for me. I love watching characters play off of each other (Azulius and Stahlfritz being the best example thus far) but as of right now, you're either giving me absolutely nothing (not even a hint of acknowledgement from Osiris about the Gunship Music?) or the characters are completely unlikable and I don't want to play off of them. I'm sorry, but I just had to say it as myself. Not even fun to hate, just obnoxious.



I'm hoping we can come to some sort of agreement or compromise on Creative Direction before we continue.
