Put up a character ad here! We're all too lazy for plot pages these days so a simple post about your character, what they need, etc. is all we really require. Go ahead and make them pretty but remember to credit whatever you use, eh? Otherwise, plot away. Make some crazy things happen.

You can track more than just phone calls, e-mails and people these days. This, friends, is called thread tracking. This way, you don't get lost amongst the sea of threads that you might be involved in. Cue, organization.

Is there someone you need? Make a thread here with your specifications for needed characters. Try to give as much detail as you can to make it easier for fellow members and guests to see if they're up for it or, you know, leave it mostly open so whoever wants it can be free to do what they will. It's all up to you. Lastly, this forum is guest-friendly for the purpose of claiming characters that you want to apply for. There'll be absolutely no advertising here.

Notes, e-mails, instant messaging... we're all technologic these days so come here to communicate in all your high tech glory. Tag it if it's for someone and, er, try to make how your communicating obvious. Don't go about intercepting stuff.

England's not England without a pub or two. Grab yourself a pint and relax. Down as much as you can, if you like. Just don't be so bloody pissed that you've no idea someone's got a gun to your head. For something less impairing to the senses, go to a cafe and get some caffeine in your system. It's warm and cosy where the coffee is. Just assure that the staff haven't put anything more than sugar and cream.

Nothing like a day in the park amongst the grass, the trees and open space. The parks are usually very populated during the day which makes it a popular site for a game of football, camouflage and a live drop. If you're not into the latter, there's always picnic spaces, benches by the paths and a dense enough green area to hide behind. Though, the best hiding place is around masses of people so perhaps try a plaza, where people come and go constantly. The problem is that sometimes you lose who's who in a crowd.

Drop by the cinema for a film or two! See what's new and all. That or drop by the arena for a concert. Music's been good these days, yeah? If that's not your style, there are always football games to be played and watched, stores waiting to be bought things from and to be used as cover-ups. Hopefully you'll not be bored because the night life is just as interesting as the daytime variety. You've just got to now where to look, is all.

London's not without the posh hotels and eateries. Remember to dress fancy and blend in because when dignitaries are expected, they'll undoubtedly reserve the most luxurious of suites in the best hotels and dine in the best restaurants. They all have their favourites and chances are, everyone knows which ones they are. Ergo, if there's someone you're looking for or following, best you get a suit on and start getting into the posh places.

This is the headquarters of the Security Service or MI5. Know that this is heavily guarded with every possible detector and security measure there is. It's practically impossible to get through as the tech staff have made sure of the system's faultlessness. Therefore, trying to enter the building with foreign tracking devices or bugs won't do the wicked any good. There are even scanners before one enters the Grid. If security doesn't get you on the first floor, the pods will get you because once detected, those sliding doors won't be opening for you any time soon.

The Secret Intelligence Service or MI6 call this place home. Like any other HQ, this place is full to the brim with security. There's surveillance in every place imaginable. Think twice before sneaking in or entering with trackers or bugs because they'll be detected in no time. Authorized? Then get yourself a desk and prepare for some briefing. Chances are, you won't be stuck a desk for very long because hopping on a plane soon after is quite customary for the people here.

The cousins sleep in this room when they've been spent to bed for bad behaviour. This is where they keep the goods, anyhow. While in England, this is were all CIA operatives report and get briefed. Though they liaise with other agencies, the CIA usually keeps things to themselves for the most part. This place, too, has been attired in the latest protective technology to make sure that what goes on here, stays here because there's nothing they hate more than other agencies knowing what's going on.

The location of all safe houses are strictly confidential. Note that the use of safe houses must be authorized and cleared with respective agencies. Witnesses, endangered moles, informants and assets may sometimes be subject to a safe house in dire situations. Locations often change to shake off any tails so don't be surprised if you've got to move about often. It's for your own good.

Unbeknownst to 5, 6 and the CIA, the Russians have been setting up house here. Naturally, only they know where it is and thank God for that because they can't afford being exposed especially during these times. They even have their share of a few safe houses here and there just in case. They've come prepared and are determined to keep this fact a secret. They didn't come all the way from Russia without their tools of the trade either. This place is wired, wall to wall with as much security as they can muster without suspicion and a good amount of computers to get them by this technological age.

Everyone needs a home and if you're lucky enough not to be hunted down or wanted at work more hours than one can count, you can sit back and relax at home. Just remember to lock the door and draw the curtains closed at night because though homes are supposed to be safe, you'll just never know who may be in the nondescript car on your street. No need to worry unless your instincts really nag on you. If that's the case, perhaps it's time to report it or run to a safe house.

Any area outside of London but within the UK's borders are classified under here. You'll find Ireland, Scotland and Wales safely kept under this forum because they're not to be forgotten especially when they give the world a good pint, lovely accents, kilts, history and culture. Lastly, any area within England that's outside of London may also be located here.

The UK's got itself some lovely neighbours. France, Italy, Spain... the list goes on. It even stretches all the way to the Scandinavian countries. Should you have to visit these places, you wouldn't even have to change your currency as numerous parts in Europe are already in the European Union. These days, European countries have gotten very connected with each other so do take advantage of the ease of transportation to see the sights and experience the continent.

Pay the Kremlin a visit or have a sip of vodka because this, here, is a vast country full of it. If the FSB is missing home, this is where they'll go to cure a bit of homesickness or to make some necessary arrangements and reports. If you're fortunate and merely travelling for leisure, take some time to take Russia and its richness all in. You'll not be disappointed!

Homeland of the CIA, America has contributed to much of Western culture with Hollywood and the like as well as history. The cities on the coast are greatly developed and advanced due to the big business found in the country. Of course, with success comes threat and they're not immune to getting into conflict as most nations aren't. Though if you've got time, enjoy the night life, the apple pie and the film stars because those are far better things to think about than the troubles across the pond.

If you've got a location that isn't covered by the previous forums, post your thread here. Remember to specify somewhere in your post where the location is or make sure that whoever you're threading with knows where you are so no one gets lost.

A time machine of sorts, this forum is for those who are feeling a bit nostalgic or just want to time travel for a bit. If you'd like to thread at a time before the site's current time frame, post it here. Make sure that you give some indication of how far back in time or that the person you're threading with is aware of it.

If you can go back to the past, you can sure as hell jump into the future. Any threads that take place after the site's current time frame should be placed here. Again, make sure that you're not confusing who you're threading with by it being a million years after the current year or month we've got.

Talk about anything here, basically. Just, you know, keep it tasteful. Let's not have any nasty images or something. Also, the absences and introductions forum are located here. If you're going to be gone for a certain amount of time, let us all know so we won't be running around worried. That or you can go introduce yourself and meet everyone else on the site.

We all like pretty graphics, yes? Unfortunately, not everyone is able to make them so if you're in need of any, post a thread here with your specifications (any pictures you'd like used, your playbys, sizes, borders, colours, etc.). If you make graphics and would like to offer your help, open up a shop here with some examples or links you galleries. Remember to re-host and credit!

Both IC and OOC, everyone loves games so here's a separate forum for them. Just don't overuse them or think they're a substitute to threading or else they'll get taken away.
