Oh Oh oh! One more question!
I may have asked this before but how should Tada get into Blarney? I'm so blanking on the genius.

Sounds good. Tell Mia. She's the only one stupid enough to keep trusting him...

How to get to Blarney? Well you left on a cliffie so it's up to you what you mean about 'deleting it from here' etc. Did you have something in mind for Tada and the next round?
Blarney is pretty much only accessible by sea - in the sense that flight is prohibited and such. There are ferries to Ireland though - it could be that he adopts a disguise and goes via Dublin despite risks and all. Changing identity from one place to the other and then maybe hike the rest of the way. It would take a while but it's the sort of thing they'd be trained to do in case of emergency.
ALSO EVERYONE - I don't know if you've read it already but there's a book by WILLIAM BOYD called RESTLESS. I highly recommend reading it. It's a brilliant spy novel, set during the 2nd World War and involves French, British and American espionage. It would be great 'research' for this and the next campfire I think. Gives us some authentic, well-researched, non-hysterical, interesting background to the sort of thing we're trying to do with RE.2

Sorry, man, didn't even see that question:
Once you get to the castle itself, you'll probably just stumble in like Edward did. You'll trigger a rebellion watchdog, someone will come get you, and lead you through a wall that isn't there, down some steps, down a corridor in which there are numerous other watchdogs to ascertain identity (Matt does a good job describing some of the ones used to get into the Cell, which Tada will not be allowed in at all), and then through a door into the Atrium.
But I like the adopting a disguise bit. Nothing so "high tech" as a cloak as Omega has the ferries patrolled for that sort of thing, but perhaps good old-fashioned make-up and stuff. How he'd get that, I have no idea...I don't imagine Walgreens exists in the future....

Oh yeah I know the cryptic stuff I'll have to deal with. I can handle that. I've got plenty of what I want to do this round. I'm actually already 9 pages in so it may be done soon once I finish it off and then reread it.
A disguise was about all I could come up with too since he has the trouble of getting that far without getting picked up.
So maybe he super spies his way to Blarney and then simply avoids the watchdogs? Well tries to. I mean he'd have to wander the area for a bit since he doesn't have a clue how to get in, trips the wd, gets picked up and taken to the Atrium (by Charon?). Sorry trying to nail down the specifics so I don't botch that part in the future.
I like it though, so the most complicated part will be trying to Tada through a ferry ride and Dublin? After that a long hike. Okay, he'll have to get money or steal gear.
I'm gonna guess it's about a three day plan altogether or am I lowballing it?

NB. Walgreens isn't in the UK. Hopefully it never gets here either (sorry folks) but we do have ASDA and Tesco...

What's wrong with Walgreens?

If I had ever found a vegetable in the one in Chapel Hill, I might be less judgemental.

Dude...Walgreens with veggies? It's not a grocery store...it's a pharmacy...
(Look at the Americans up in arms over a pharmacy, lol.)
Also, I think it took us no more than few hours to drive from County Cork to Dublin...like 2-3? Maybe. So a few days' worth of hard travel should get you there. Tada's in good shape, so he should be able to go pretty quickly.

Loads of food in the one on franklin... heh, maybe it was a poor attempt at making it a supermarket then and we got the dud walgreens and I've been unfairly loathing the place ever since they tried to charge me $1.80 for a banana.

It's supposed to be the sort-of corner store. Like "fuck, I forgot eggs...better go to Walgreens" type thing. It's mostly a pharmacy, so I'm always in there for allergy stuff for Mike and cleanliness stuff, etc.
I...don't remember Walgreens having bananas...

I think it must be a UK thing lol. But yeah, that banana better also function as a wifi hotspot at that price.
Oh and thanks for the insight. I'll get rolling again soon then. It'll be up in the next couple of days.

Hmm. The Walgreens here sells makeup and chips, and makes a poor attempt at selling some kid's toys. But otherwise it's a pharmacy. I'd be very surprised if they started stocking fruits and veggies.

Well then, how about next round? I'll set it up that Colt is the last American ever and all the rest are dead and then BAM, he's not the last one.

Chapel Hill is NC not UK. So that Walgreens was obviously not the bestest kind. It had two aisles of food - all of it canned or frozen or that weird powder+water microwave stuff that you have over there - and a basket of fruit where each piece cost $1.80. Now I know that stuff wasn't meant to be there, I feel less aggrieved. And yet more so because that means there wasn't a supermarket/market anywhere in walking distance.
If you were looking for a UK pharmacy with Tada - it would be Boots or Superdrug.
I'm excited for you joining though Mynt. Your character sounds great - for both the person and the plot. yeahhhh.
HAPPY NEW YEARS btw.

That weird powder/microwave stuff got me through sophomore year, actually. I was too broke to have real food as it was the year I did not have a job...
Woo 2013! A year I had no plan for...since it was never supposed to happen. Damned Mayans...
