Not to worry, Gorillaman; it's a pleasure to see that you've joined us!
As I mentioned in-thread, I'll be away for a few days, beginning tomorrow morning. I won't be online during that time. My apologies for any inconvenience arising from this.
That being said, I'll give you two a little formula for continuing the thread, if you want to do so in my absence:
1. in combat, Finch goes polar bear. If you want to escalate the situation on the plane, you have my permission (during this 3-day absence) to say that Finch morphed bear and joined the fight.
2. You don't have my permission to kill her off, obviously; I also prefer you avoid making her actually say anything. Nodding and shaking her head 'no' are both okay, if you need communication to further the plot.
3. Once we got off the plane, if it's night I planned for her to morph owl. If day, gyrfalcon.
Anyway, knowing that stuff, hopefully it would be possible for you to move the plot a little bit without me.
If you find it doesn't work well with your ongoing plans to temp-control my character, then we could also say something happened that causes Finch and Cobra to get separated, or Finch to get captured or knocked unconscious. When I return, I could fill in whatever happened during the time that they were not in communication.
