Thats odd, as I missed him as well - unless NS is time slipping again...

Thats odd, as I missed him as well - unless NS is time slipping again...

Oh it most definitely is slipping again. It does it every night (at like 1 AM EST and past), but I have never seen it skip hours before.

Thats odd, as I missed him as well - unless NS is time slipping again...

Indeed, it seems that time keeps on slipping, slipping, into the future...

I want to fly like an eagle...

Thanks for the suggestion, DMG. But Fayalin's already being contacted through dreams - I'd rather not run that idea into the ground. Plus, we've already established how the spirits contact Elva, which is a mental convo while she's awake. Not to say it's not possible, but again, I'd like to reserve dream messages for Faye and have other forms of contacts for other people.

Elva probably would've found out where to go next had she talked to Faye and Tovius...but I guess she's unconscious now and unable to talk. Better hope Lanu figures out what to do. But if Reg doesn't reply, I'll have to assume Lanu didn't reply either and move on with the plot without y'all >:-)

lol, no problem... I was just thinking aloud.

If I don't reply to what? Free Eagles left me hanging.

She told Lanu to get a bed for the night for Elva and keep the weight off her leg... that's at least something.

A black man getting a bed in the middle of the night in a small foreign strange village? Why didn't Free Eagles have Fayalin help them find somewhere to stay, that would have made the most sense, and given them time to talk.

lol, Lanu is black... who knew?

Perhaps it would help to find an inn for a bed if there any there and/or show/say that he has an injured lady with him.

He doesn't have money... and I assume that the people in this world are at least a little racist, cause they don't exactly seem to be embracing rule of law and social liberalism.

Might go so far as killing him for "hurting" or otherwise violating Elva. That was going to be one of my plot angles, him dealing with racism on the mainland.

lol, well, then follow Faylin and explain everything to her than you are saying to me right now.

Tovius asked Lanu a direct question, so he could reply to that. They're in a small forest village; there wouldn't be any inns or taverns or anything of the sort. Faye suggested taking advantage of friendly villagers willing to open their homes.

Racism in the sense that you're thinking of wasn't actually a huge problem back in the days of the late Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. If I recall correctly, in fact, one of the emperors (or was it consulars? Pretty sure it was emperor) was a dark-skinned African. For the ancient Romans, it was more a matter of "us" versus "them". It didn't matter what color your skin was as long as you were one of "us".

So from that angle, Lanu might be looked down upon by Tal'therans and the people of their territories as a Korovirian, in which he'll mostly be considered as an uncivilized, uneducated savage, rather than how the old American south looked upon those of African descent. His conduct and mannerisms matter more than his skin, and Tal'therans and the people of their territories won't automatically assume Lanu's bad and took advantage of Elva because he's black.

Severus.

Fayalin has other things on her mind than helping or talking to Lanu right now. She's seen to Elva's injury, so she's done what's expected of her. Now she's got her own issues to deal with. She's been kidnapped and nearly killed, she's in her nightdress in front of a load of men, and now she's just found out that some inconsiderate moron has broken her house. Rather understandably, in my opinion, she's somewhat in shock, and could probably do with having someone try and calm her down.

The actions of a character don't necessarily fit what's best for the story, but what's most appropriate for them at that time. So you'll just have to deal with it, I'm afraid. :p

Sorry for the delay; it's college time for me as well, so I havn't had much time to post anything. I'm pretty must at the moment, but I can definetly get something in by tonight.

*breaks down door*

I'm just biding my time for a good moment to rejoin the group in town and tell them to get a move on. :p

Hmm... how about now?

Now....?


Now!?



NOW?!

Thanks DMG.

As for Fayalin, I think Thibault might have to be the one to give her hugs and kisses ;) Elva's unconscious, Lanu's taking care of her, and Tovius is semi-interrogating Lanu and is more interested in continuing with his mission that with comforting some civilian. After all, an active legionary would see worse things during this term of service.

*begins the process of reading everything he's missed whilst begining the semester*

Thanks DMG.

As for Fayalin, I think Thibault might have to be the one to give her hugs and kisses ;)

Aye, when I hear "comfort" and "caring" I think Thibault. Now that you think about it, all my characters have been heartless bastards. Wonder if that some is some sort of reflection onto myself...yeah it is.

*eats another kitten*

lol, Lup.

Hel wasn't always evil...

lol, Lup.

Hel wasn't always evil...

Aye, but until Blastit returns she'll be stuck in the psychotic mastermind clique.

Aye, but until Blastit returns she'll be stuck in the psychotic mastermind clique.

Oh, but you have plans to bring her back, you reveal?

Her and Cadeyrn.

Her and Cadeyrn.

Well boo... I didn't want to know any of the future.

Well boo... I didn't want to know any of the future.

That's just been my idea, I have no idea what Blastit wants to do. Another possibility was Valtrox's Cadeyrn and Hel end up fighting to the death. However since Valtrox can end her life at command it complicates things. I also have Xenocrates, Beau, Lupo, and The Skull Knight to consider. I'm fairly happy with what I did to Mahura so that's one out of seven down. :)

It's not even set in stone, Beau was supposed to be the good guy in the first one where as Cadeyrn was evil.

I know it's mostly just a filler, but I did get something up, and hope to be more consistant :p

I know it's mostly just a filler, but I did get something up, and hope to be more consistant :p

Well I hope to be as consistent, but expect to be less so.

Unless you intend for Beau and the Skull Knight to be in the third, Harlin needs some people to kill off when Hel kills Shana.

TG Rhinara.

I am kinda waiting on Ravea, but in the mean time...

Beats KAtG about the head and shoulders with a large yellow fin tuna.

"Thats for your sig."

"Thats for your sig."

lol, it's funny.

But apparently God doesn't care if you look at porn on the internet (or video or magazines for that matter), just if you download it. He needs all hard-drives to be clean.

Tell ya what, Shal, let's make a deal. You ensure that there is not a single stray cat in the U.S, and I'll change my sig to advocate a more chaste set of ideals. So far, though, I'm the humane one on Nation States. Cynical? Yes. True? Also, yes. The kittens have four options ahead of them:
1) Some are smote by God.
2) Some starve
3) Some are "rescued" by shelters, only to get killed via CO poisoning
4) Very few are rescued

After all, given the choice, I'd rather get hit by a bolt of lightning (God's traditional method of smiting) then starve to death in the back alleys of New York City. It's quicker, less painful, and always contains the off chance that I'll get super powers akin to those of Captain Marvel. It's less than one in a trillion, but there's a chance. Not so much when I'm starving in the Big Apple. Or inhaling CO.

Meanwhile, Dunk Selim. *chants*
Dunk. Dunk. Dunk. Dunk. Dunk. Dunk. Dunk.

Unless you intend for Beau and the Skull Knight to be in the third, Harlin needs some people to kill off when Hel kills Shana.

I have plans for Beau...big plans.

If you think Harlin can take the Skull Knight then by all means. :)

Harlin and all the Jiltakin are technically so over powered that they could kill anyone (they essentially teleport...pop slice throat pop...etc) but that wouldn't be any fun... I think he can take skull knight down, especially with the rage coursing through his veins.

The question now is, does the Skull Knight even have a throat to slice? Isn't he just a walking pile of metal imbued with a soul in the middle or something like that?

By the way, asking my gf's dad for permission/blessing was definitely scarier than asking her (mostly since I knew she was going to say yes). And yeah, she said yes.

WOOOOOOOO Congrats Rhin!

Weee gratz :D

He is still in the suit, but slitting his throat will do nothing as his blood dried up years ago. He's basically a zombie in a mecha. ;)

I was thinking that Lupo would crawl inside midway in the fight and give Harlin an opening.

W000t!

Party at Rhin's House!!!

Congrats Rhin!! Best wishes to you.

KAtG - I've been in feline rescue for over twenty five years. I Know what it's like for ferals. I won't go into details, but trust me, I know. I could make sure there were no more strays in the world I would, believe me if I had just one real wish.

But I also know that being zapped by a lightning bolt is a painful way to die. And while I don't believe in the Christian god, I should hope he has kinder ways that a lightning bolt.

And I think what offends me the most is saying that a being worshiped by millions is so pettty as to kill an innocent creature over what some human does/ doesn't do - such a being is not worthy of being worshipsed.

If you had one wish you would wish for no more stray cats in the world...?

Not world peace, eternal happiness, cleansing of all disease, healing of the sick, prosperity for all, divine life... or anything else?

Please note : I said no more strays - I didn't limit it to just cats - but all strays- dogs, horses, bunny rabits etc- and people too. All strays

How much disease, hunger and lonilness and sorrow would that take care of? For all the strays to have loving homes. Maybe not all of it but a hell'a alot.

You see I beleive we have to do things on our own mostly, without 'God's" aid. That we can't sit and wait praying for some 'God' to swoop down and cure all our failings- We have to do that ourselves.

And Peace? We'd be dead of boredom within a generation, peace just isn't possible, even with a wish. It would have to change, to alter, man's intrinsice nature - so, *Shrug* (Plus when the war mongering aliens came stopping by we'd be fried ) Eternal happiness - you can die of to much happiness just as you can of too much sadness, so Meh and again an intrinsic change that I think would have very bad reprecussions. Divine life- I am part of the Divine so I have that already. Next?

Swats KAtG with a large rainbow trout

Congrats Rhin!!!!!

Somebody break out the champagne. And mark your calendars. Rhin's gonna have a Bachelor Party just before the wedding!!!!

Oh, and Shal, if it really upsets you that much, I'll change the sig. Though from this point on, you'll not get another chance to beat me with any form of fish.

*Sees rainbow trout coming, takes Louisville Slugger, and proceeds to knock the thing into the sticky threads. The fish will probably start to smell soon.*

Congratulations Rhin!!

And i kinda have to agree with Tanara on this one. Mainly on the point that almost all of the wishes you listed DMG would simply not last, World Peace would not last, people would get sick again, giving prosperity to all would just mean people would redifine prosperity to something else and it wouldn't last. Eternal Happiness would last eternally, but it would be boring. :p

Though I'm not sure what i would wish for.

Though I'm not sure what i would wish for.

I know what I'd wish for...

KAtG- LOL - I guess you've never heard of Trout Wars, have you? An entire thread dedicated to bashing the partcipants wiht fish in various amusing and inventive ways. I've seen a good trout war end up being several hundred posts long, if you don't count the posts of those on the side lines kibitzing and scoring posts for quality...

and you said not form of fish...

a blimp slowly cruises over head and with a creak and a groan a trap door opens in the gondola hung beneath, and what should pour forth - to cascade down upon Arthur? but 1001 jumbo shrimp...:p

This is why you have a standing contract with ACME! They always have the right tool for the occasion.

Thanks, everyone.

It's been a busy day at work today, so I haven't had the chance to type up a post (although, not a whole lot has happened since my last post). I'd like to get everyone to Eavana as soon as possible, cause that's where the real RP (and the fun) is gonna start. If y'all don't have anything to post about, let me know and I'll come up with something to get your chars off their butts and on their way to Eavana, like...uh...have a skeleton with a crystal ring teleport you to Eavana or something...yeah...

okay... too tired to deal with all of the fallacies in logic, etc. I'll just go with more cowbell.

Congrats Rhin!

At least let them leave Penrhyn normally. Faye's decided she's going (well, she's decided she's going somewhere, at any rate), so there's no need to do it on her account.

And unless you plan on having Elva get magically healed by a god, she's not going to be in a great state for moving anywhere for a while. She really shouldn't walk on that leg for several days at least. Or someone could carry her, I guess... Shotgun not Faye!

No worries, I'm not actually going to pull that trick again.

I vote Lanu gets to carry Elva.

I vote somebody does it...

Lanu will do it, but she better be gracious afterwards.

Lanu will do it, but she better be gracious afterwards.

lol, she still going to be asleep for part of it.

She is going to be out for a good twenty-four hours.

For the two of you with characters in Eavana, you won't see the fields turning brown in a matter of seconds like William, Icarus, and the others would. The center of the browning of the field is closer to Senhild than it is to Eavana, and it stopped before it reached Eavana.

*Has been waiting patiently for Ravea and Tanaara to sort out there posts before posting his return.*

I'm getting bored of waiting though, so could you hurry it up a little? :p

This little reprieve from activity for Elva has been quite helpful OOCly...

*Has been waiting patiently for Ravea and Tanaara to sort out there posts before posting his return.*

Ditto

*Has been waiting patiently for Ravea and Tanaara to sort out there posts before posting his return.*

Let's not have that delay you guys any longer. I say you guys should just go ahead and post.

Aye, i posted and they can still resolve the issue without in having any real effect.

In other news, my brother, being the lemon that he is (using his own words), drove into the back of someone, so now i'm carless until it gets sorted. :(
Fortunately nobody was hurt, but annoying nonetheless

lol, I have no idea what's going on.

Lanu looked up at the man he had met the night before, the inquisitive one. This man had so many questions for which Lanu had no answers. "Ready for what?"

The dark man was apparently a light sleeper, as he awoke when the legionnaire approached. "Greetings..." What was his name again? "...Lanu Jbina. Since you do not appear to know where you are or why you are here, it will be best if I took you along with me. I will be passing by Aervyn, the capital of Gaireth, and you will be better able to get your bearings once there. Gather your belongings; we will be departing soon."

I'll assume it's an OOC mistake, Reg. If you meant it ICly, though, let me know and I'll have Tovius respond to it (I guess that'll help to make Tovius think that Lanu's a stupid and barbaric Korovirian who doesn't have much of a memory span).

DMG: Tovius is dragging Lanu and Elva along with him, as per the big, long post on page 17 because he doesn't trust the two to stay at the village, with no legionary over them. He wants to drop them off at Aervyn when he passes by it.

Yeah, I got that. I meant in the thread as a whole - like all the other people.

Ok, a brief summary of what everyone else is doing...

It's night time where Nald (Canadstein) is at Eavana (time is pretty fluid right now, until everyone gets to Eavana and the real RP starts). He's following a large, wolf-like creature that's heading into the town of Eavana. This large creature's howl was enough to scare away a pack of regular wolves.

Jaso (Elves Security Forces) is in the same timeline as Nald. He's at his smithy within Eavana, just passing the time for now.

William (King Arthur) broke away from his group of mages and went east by himself, toward Eavana. He killed a young ogre along the way, and that somehow caused a large swath of land to die.

The swath of land that died did not reach Eavana, but it did reach Senhild, where everyone else is currently at. Icarus and Viktor realized what was happening and are rushing to go to Eavana to figure out what is going on and hopefully try to stop the dying of the land from spreading. The other three haven't posted yet, so the last thing that happened regarding them was they were squabbling about going or not going to Eavana with Icarus and Viktor.

ignore this post

So I guess everyone is meeting up at Eavana. Thus Lanu/Elva will have to figure out how to continue onto Eavana and not get dropped at Aervyn. Si?

That shouldn't be too hard, if that is the case. Faye is starting to realise things about her visions, and one of those things is that apparently all four of you are supposed to go with her. So she's not likely to stay silent if Tovius tries to leave you behind.

lol, maybe the animals are running from you, Lup, because they saw you attack Elva.

If you were wondering. This is what it's like to be a Raiders fan from 1990-present... :headbang:

I've watched Bo Jackson end his career, our humiliation in the last Superbowl, and now an opening day loss to the Lions IN Oakland. *Begins setting house on fire*

*sigh* I'm ready for dream time Mr. B...nevermind, I have class in a few hours. :D

Can we get some IC posts?

In other news, my brother, being the lemon that he is (using his own words), drove into the back of someone, so now i'm carless until it gets sorted. :(
Fortunately nobody was hurt, but annoying nonetheless

Sorry about that, dude. But hey, cars are overrated anyway. Grab some public transportation and spare the air!


So I guess everyone is meeting up at Eavana. Thus Lanu/Elva will have to figure out how to continue onto Eavana and not get dropped at Aervyn. Si?

Oui. But Lanu seems to be headed in the right direction, I think, and as Free Eagles said, Fayalin's a safety net to fall back on too. It's just that Tovius doesn't have any reason to take them along all the way to Eavana at the moment.

Haha Lup... at least you will always have the memories.

Haha Lup... at least you will always have the memories.

I miss the soul patrol. :(

Hey, Kitab. From the looks of your post, I take it Anvers is keeping the green crystal? Or is Viktor taking it back?

Anyone have any idea if the situation between Ravea and Tanara is getting resolved?
Also any ideas on how to get around the stall?

I've sent a TG to Tan; haven't gotten a response just yet.

Anvers can keep it, Viktor is just a nice guy :p

I miss the soul patrol. :(

You alive for that?

You alive for that?

Off by a decade, I was born in 87. :)

However, my father, being the devout Steeler fanatic always reminded me of the "good ol days".

Sorry about that, dude. But hey, cars are overrated anyway. Grab some public transportation and spare the air!



Heh, i practically never used it anyway, not much call for it and i'm not taking it when i move to Brighton in 10 days since he will be taking it with him to where hes going. (Wow, scary thought, thats getting pretty close actually, best get packing soon!)

Somehow he got lucky enough to drive into the one person in a million who decided that it was actually their fault and is going to pay for everything. Lucky for my brother, since its estimated to be something like £2000 to fix it.

Where'd he hit them?

He drove into the back of her after she stopped in the road becuase she saw a car she thought was about to drive in front of her but actually wasn't. Or something along those lines.

Wow... technically that's totally his fault (not leaving a safe following distance). He's lucky she's taking the blame.

I know, nobody can believe that she has taken the blame. He is just one lucky bugger :p

I know, nobody can believe that she has taken the blame. He is just one lucky bugger :p

I'll say. Wish that lightpole would have taken the blame when it collided with me.

"But officer, the thing jumped right out at me!"

That probably would have gotten me for reckless driving.

Sorry I didn't get the chance to post today. I'll try doing something later this evening - tomorrow at the latest.

Theao, I haven't gotten and replies from Tanara, but the show must go on, so let's just say that Orome ordered Kiten to leave her alone/go away. We can always amend that if need be later on. Sounds like Kiten is starting to think that the rotting fields is tied to the Underdark issue, no? That'll probably be enough to get him to go along with Viktor/Icarus.

Unless you have any objections, I'll give them another day.

He'll split and catch up in his own ways as Ic/Vic have already gone on ahead.

Woh, that just happened to my friend yesterday. Except a lot more complicated situation...

TG for DMG, Kitab, Arthur, and Reg.

Tanara's dropping out of the RP, but will make an IC post about Orome going her own way. So you can wait for that post if ya want, Theao.

To everyone else, as you can probably guess, I'm being fluid with time and each group is more or less in their own chunk of time now. The Nald/Jaso timeline is pretty much synced up to the Tovius/Thibault/Faye/Lanu/Elva timeline as of my most recent post. It's night time in Eavana with a bright moon out.

William's timeline is the same day as the above characters, but it's during the day rather than that night.

Viktor/Icarus/Kiten are about four days behind at the moment.

For Thib/Faye/Lanu/Elva, assume they got to chat a little with one another and at least know everyone's name in the group by now. What with it being 2 weeks later, Elva's also back to normal. Tovius would've been going at military marching pace to get from the river to Eavana, so if your characters aren't used to walking long distances for several days on end, then they might be fatigued from that (and as Lanu/Elva don't have much in the way of money, and I'm assuming neither does Faye, they couldn't have purchased any horses to help out).

Awww Tanaara...

Tanaara... what a bum. I'm sure there's good reason for dropping out though.

Got the TG Rhin.

I assume their two week journey was relatively boring...

I assume their two week journey was relatively boring...

Aye.

Can a person still join this? I have wandered the internet for quite some time to find a roleplay like this.

Can a person still join this? I have wandered the internet for quite some time to find a roleplay like this.

The RP is officially closed, but I'm willing to give people a shot if their character fits in well with the story. Write up a character and I'll take a look at it.

Rhin sent the TG I think. Otherwise... TG's are beginning to send themselves!

It's worth a shot, I'd love to come play.
I am blown away, just the kind of roleplay I have always wanted to be in!

Name: Tavin
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Occupation: Taveler - Gunsmith
Brief physical description: Deep tan skin, standing at 5'11" and well-built. He has the appearance of someone who has been living off the land, in the toughest way possible all his life. However, his face shows gentle care, his beard trimmed as well as can be. He bears black hat, in the triangular form similar to a pirate hat. His clothes are mostly made out of treated leather. The main piece is a jacket, looking fairly worn, but obviously created by someone familiar with the fashions of the cities. He carries two revolvers at his side, sandalwood grips weighted to his hands. He currently travels about the lands.
Abilities: He is a man of knowledge, raised in a very off the side town in the wastelands where having a skill meant survival. He is knowledgeable with guns and their uses.
Place of origin: The wastelands - Small village named Shavar.
Weakness/Vice: He doesn't take things people say as seriously as he should. A simple threat is dismissed at a moment's notice.
Deity: Parminius

When you say he makes guns, you mean... like muskets or a bluderbluss?

Oopsies... I definitely said Reg before when I meant Rhin. Shows that I have no idea who is running this RP :p

Neat character.

Maybe I should change my name to Rhengenius just to confuse DMG more.

Tavinak: the most powerful nation in the area is the Tal'theran Republic, and their level of technology is equivalent to the late Roman Republic/early Roman Empire. While I do allow some leeway in the level of technology, your character, unfortunately, is much too anachronistic in this case.

I'm sorry man, I remember what it was like first getting into RP's. You gotta have some major cred sometimes in order to get heard.

Really tired right now, but I'll try and get a post up in the morning.

I'm sorry man, I remember what it was like first getting into RP's. You gotta have some major cred sometimes in order to get heard.

Or some how figure out how to get into the Gang.

TG, Free Eagles

Though it's up to Rhin (I think - not Reg, right?), I think you could submit a new character (more appropriate for this RP structure) if you want.

I guess you're right there DMG. I made it into the Gang... Although, I'm not really sure if my name is known around here or not...

I just generally helped out in Clash :p

though the mojority of threads i've joined / tried to join didn't really seem to mind as long as the character made sense and worked in context, unfortunately, though the character does sound interesting, it doesn't quite fit into the context.

[Special shout-out to Deatharon who indirectly initiated this group]

Canad & Elves Security: This is the same large, black canine as the one Nald is following and which passed by Jaso's smithy.

Kitab/Reg/Arthur: I'd like your mages to join in on the large, black canine scene, so let's keep the reunion short and fast-forward to the other timeframe that everyone else is in.

Oh, and about the Tavinak thing, yeah, I sent him a TG the other day to see how we can work out a character that'll be better fit the RP. For me, as long as someone who's making a char for this RP is putting some sort of effort into making a character that fits into this world, I'll put some effort into working it out with them. The only person I've flatly rejected without a second thought was that space pirate character. I mean, if he didn't bother to read my first OOC post, it's only fair I don't have to bother with his post either.

When do I get added to the gang?

Or do I gotta actually finish GM-ing an RP first?

lol, well you have to be in a few of the RPs (namely of the same high fantasy type) that the rest of are in.

Same high fantasy? I wasn't on NS when CotG started, and the open window of opportunity for RotS was too small for me to draw up an effective character.

Though, if somebody wants to keep a spot available for me when CotG:3 rolls around, I'll be happy to join up.;)

Yeah, I mean like the CotG series, Carousal of Deception, this one, and a couple of earlier ones that Theao, Blastit, and I were in. I said high fantasy because I know you've done some of those superhero ones, but it's not the same.

Aye, I am sure you'll be allowed entry if we ever get to it (though at the pace Blastit has now set, that would seem to be 2012).

The gangs practically all here. Poor Blastit, I don't think he's interested anymore.

Yeah... unfortunately half the Gang's RPs can't move forward without him.

TG for Reg, Arthur, Canad, and Elves Security.

And yeah, Nald/Jaso/Icarus/Will/Viktor would've all heard the howl, but they wouldn't be close enough to sense the feeling of death that Tovius/Lanu/Thibault/Faye/Elva sensed (unless I said otherwise in a TG).

So I am to take it that everyone is near the same place now?

Ayup

Canad, the creature disappeared after turning a corner into a dead end. It's not there to be followed by Nald...

Responded to TG.

I may vanish for a few days. I move down to Brighton on saturday and between freshers week events and any problems getting the internet hooked up, my appearences might be scarce.

Should all be fine though.

Replied to DMG and Reg.

Currently don't have time to post, but will try to do so early tomorrow morning (well, early for Pacific Standard Time, anyway).

Reg, Will was with the soldier and the girl. Icarus would not have been ahead of him, he would have come up behind, as the chase had moved away from where Will was waiting. After he met up with the first two, then the others would have come. He would be third in the gathering, behind Tovius, then Elva, and right before Nald.

1) They never really established a place to meet

2) Icarus was heading towards the black spot against his earth sight

3) He was following different alleyways than Will

4) Why question?

1) They never really established a place to meet

2) Icarus was heading towards the black spot against his earth sight

4) Why question?

Simple: I had Will with Tovius and Elva, addressing Tovius about the lupine creature-thingy. Thus, having Icarus stop Will and ask him about what is happening throws my previous post out of the continuum. I edited it to make it more apparent that William had already met up with Tovius and Elva, but having Icarus meet him and stop him in the middle of the chase throws everything out of whack. Even though, yes, they didn't follow the same paths, Rhin and I had Will meeting up with Tovius and Elva before anybody else got there. You post puts him in the back, and still running. We had him in the middle, and stopping where Elva stopped to talk with Tovius.

Arthur did manage to post first, and in the interest of keeping the momentum from slowing down, I'm posting as if Will's already there and talking to Tovius.

Btw, TG for Arthur and Reg.

Fuck it... let the record show that Reg fucked up. Consider the post void.

I try not to keep records of my fuck ups.

Although in CoG, Marlene jumped from age 8 to 14 to 23ish then back to 14. :)

That's exactly it. Continuity isn't really important... is it?

Hey. Moved into Brighton now, however, it seems internet will only be switched on in the halls on tuesday. :(

I will probably nip online every now and then over the next few days like i am now in one of the computer rooms, but i won't be on long so don't expect much from me for a while. :p

So she is currently 14 in RotS despite being 14 in CotG?

So she is currently 14 in RotS despite being 14 in CotG?

There's a 15 year gap between the two RPs.

Quick note: A specific age was never said, but she matures unusually fast throughout CotG. This is thanks to the fact I came in late and didn't even plan ahead. Then Valtrox gave her the vessel that appeared near the end before she returned to her regular body (14ish).

The move to bump up her age was only to bring her into RoTS at a more appropriate age.

Anyway enough of that, Thibault is the future!

If he's the future, then it is going to be a very lonely future...

That's the ending to this story. A new guy comes along with ability to destroy everything except stereotypical overly done characters. Thus, Thibault is the last living thing alive.

Last living amongst many other "stereotypical overly done characters..."

Sorry I haven't posted in the last few days, but I finally got my PC to work, and I've spent the last few days setting it up, installing things and transferring stuff over. But it's all done now, so I can start RPing again. :)

TG for Theao, Eagles, Canadstein.

And of course, if there's anything any of you want to try ICly but aren't sure if you can, or need clarification on something, etc., feel free to TG me.

I guess I could make a post here, but it wouldn't really serve a purpose... and I'm kind of tired.

I'm back, just beat Halo 3 in one sitting.

I really have mixed feelings about the game. I can't decide should I love it, or hate it? The story was good, but it's always been good. The ending left much to be desired, though they honestly tried this time around. The game play is the same as the last two, excellent. The new toys were 'neat' at best. Some of the levels were challenging on normal that even looking at Legendary makes me afraid. I've beaten the first two, solo, on controller smash mode without too much trouble, but this another mountain altogether.

Another note: Where the fuck frosted cake are the other Spartans!? It would have been a much better experience if Kelly, Fred, Linda, *forgot the last one* were your companions rather than the god damned Arbiter.

/rant

Shh... I haven't played it yet (my bro as the xbox 360 at college), so no talking about it!

C'mon Lup, I haven't had a chance to get my hands on it yet, and you're already ruining some of the surprises.

I actually thought I was pretty vague, but whatever. I guess I can get by with just teasing you guys. :p

*dangles Halo 3 over your heads*

Minor point, KAtG: No-one's actually mentioned Faye's name aloud since they arrived in Eavana, so unless he's a telepath and you haven't told us, William can't know her name. :P

Still no internet in my halls of residence, getting annoyed :(

As for Halo 3, so far we havent got a TV sorted out here for me to hook my 360 up to. That and the only game shops i've seen are for borrowing not buying. Tomorrow or friday i will have to forray into the unknown streets and hunt down the elusive game shop. :p

Where in the name of nowhere are you?

Hehe, no worries. I just thought I'd point it out was all. Incidentally, Tovius just spoke her name, so now you do know. :D

So, it's not telepathy, it's clairvoyance. Hmm....:)

Brighton, so its a big city. :p

I've never really gone wandering around the streets before so finding a game shop is down to luck, that and though i'm sure theres a big shopping centre somewhere i havent found it yet. Especially because i don't really have the internet to consult much. :p

Still no internet on that note, though someone who got his laptop set up and calibrated two days after i did mine has been connected. Annoying. ¬.¬

TG for Theao

I'm going to try for legendary today, you'll probably see me sometime next month.

Update: First level done, half way through second level before taking a break. I have a Jackal Sniper induced headache.

Just use google to search for a store near you... Oh, wait... :p

Mwuhahaha, i have found and bought Halo 3, now i just need to convince the people sharing my halls of residence to put a TV in the communal room so i can hook my 360 upto it. Didn't have a spare one lying around home to bring with me ¬.¬

Upcoming TG for DMG, Kitab, and Arthur.

Got the TG and i will keep it in mind.

On another note, check out this link (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/2304-Zero-Punctuation-Halo-3) and if you have some time on your hands go down the list at the side, not all of there are there, but they should be on youtube if you look up fullyramblomatic. There is some funny stuff on that.

By the way, Elves Security Forces decided to drop out. Unless Canadstein says otherwise very soon, I'm going to assume the same for him.

Who was Elves Security Forces controlling?

Jaso the elven blacksmith/militia captain. The only character he interacted with was Canadstein's Nald.

Sorry I have been very busy lately and have had some very spotty internet access. So what has happened while I was gone? Also how should I catch up?

Replied

And continuing our TG conversation, another sent!!! :D

Sorry guys, I am in the middle of Apps right now.

Replied, Arthur.

Sorry I have been very busy lately and have had some very spotty internet access. So what has happened while I was gone? Also how should I catch up?

Well, the group found Caeli, and she was kidnapped before they could save her. But since Nald did not respond to any of that, he is either uncaring of his sister's safety (which clearly isn't the case), or he wasn't there to try to save her. So the best way to go, I believe, is that Nald listened to Tovius' order to go find some legionnaires for backup. That solves the problem of Nald not helping his sister from being kidnapped, since he wasn't there to see her being kidnapped, but keep in mind that this also means Nald has no idea what happened down there, not even that Caeli was involved in any way (although he could always assume). I'll be sending you a TG shortly.

Mwuhahahahaha, I once again posses the internet and am free to do with it what i would. (Apart from use a variety of programs which are against the university's code of conduct... Bah, i say, Bah!)

Replied, Arthur.

Got it, sent another one to clear up some misconceptions.

Righty, I've been kinda ill for the past few days, but fortunately, there hasn't been a lot for me to do, since Faye's pretty much useless in a fight anyway. On the mend now though, so it's all good.

Welcome back and good to hear you're getting better. :)

Long weekend coming up so posting should be good. On the other hand, it's also Apps weekend and I may be traveling. Stay tuned.

Hey all. The forum decided to crash when I tried to post this yesterday, and I had to run, so I couldn't post it until now. For those characters who are knowledgeable in geography (or at the very least knowledgeable in the geography of the appropriate area), Karamethos is represented on the map by the two huts directly east of Aristumnos. It is to that region what Delphi was to ancient Greece, the location of the Oracle.

As per Kitab's question, Nald led the legionnaires to the hole in the ground. The wolf didn't leave any footprints, but Tovius and the others left a ton of fresh ones for the legionnaires to follow.

I assume Nald would have more questions for Tovius. But aside from that, I'll fastforward the rp to the following morning next chance I get.

I'm going to try to catch up today and post.

Alright, I read (kinda)... but could I get a short update about where we are / what Elva should be doing.

Rhin, a TG.

Alright, I read (kinda)... but could I get a short update about where we are / what Elva should be doing.

Situation inside the tomb is resolved, everyone is searching out a place to sleep for the night. Since you arrived with Tovius, Feyalin and Thibault i assume you would be heading back to that inn either alone or catch up with Lup.

Scratch that, it is now the next morning, assume the above and continue.

TG to Arthur and Canad

Mmmkay. Made a quick terrible post to at least reinsert Elva into the scene.

Mmmm... interesting.

Canadstein... do you edit your posts before they go up? Sometimes I feel like you don't know english very well.

Also, on a more IC note, Nald could bring up the fact that Icarus is only (and thus only appears) two years older than Nald. It'll be rebuked, but it's a logical argument for the boy to make, having never seen Icarus in action, and thus not knowing that he's a talented mage.

Well I don't know English too well. Actually English is not my first language. So sorry. I will try to be more careful.

The memories indeed...

Hmm, no one has any opinions on which direction they want to go? This was intended to give you guys the opportunity to decide which path to take to get to the final destination. Yes, every choice has their good and their bad, some more than others. But your choices will determine how the story unfolds - you'll be integral parts of the story, rather than just participants who tag along with what my character does. Seize the day!

Plus, I wouldn't have anything to post until all you guys speak up.

Edited my last post to include a proposed course of action.

Gave a summarized brief of the facts, and then my argument. I have got to stop thinking in terms of dissertations. But hey, now at least we have all of my thoughts on the destination topic in one post, so people can argue with me in a far more easy manner. It might want to make you tear me apart, but at least it's convenient for you to do so. :)

I want to keep the momentum going, and it's been two days since I posted, so I took the leading option (Karamethos, with two whole votes!) and went with it. It's not set in stone, of course. Y'all are free to argue and change your minds later if ya want. But now there are two more choices to pick from, so vote again!

I vote for momentum over voting... :eek:

*to music*
Waiting, waiting, waiting for IC activity...

I have nothing for Icarus to say. Lanu really can't contribute much in this discussion either.

Sorry guys, been busy a lot still.

Will be out for a couple of days, internet connection might be sporadic. I'll post when I can.

Sorry guys, been busy a lot still.

I should ammend that to "I am sick and after no will to read/write."

TG for DMG, Theao, Kitab, Arthur, and Reg.

Alright... umm... I am going to need an update of what is/has been going on before I get back into this.

DMG:

Despite the personal objections of our bandit friend Thiabult, we decided to travel along the southern route. Three days out, we're at our camp, and we are now being attacked by a bunch of guys in leather armor. They've got archers and swordsmen, and to make matters worse, those the could normally use magic are finding it difficult to do so. The magic is...altered in some way. I don't know about anybody else, but William is too impatient to try altering his manipulation, so he's switched to simple swordwork to get out of this one alive.

Thanks, Art.

TG, Rhin.

Replied, DMG

Well then, Elva is useless. She'll be standing aside.

Well then, Elva is useless. She'll be standing aside.

That's never true. People can always be useful. Even if it involves taking up big sticks and h-whacking people upside the noggin. H-whack Away!!!

And where would she find these big beating sticks?

And where would she find these big beating sticks?

They be lying around, or potentially only have one end burning in the fire. Or, you could pick up rocks and sling 'em. Improvise.

No time now.

Alright, I made a post... it's pretty vague and may not work with what was actually happening. Let me know.

Sorry for disappearing again. My excuse this time is that I got really sick - vomiting and all that good stuff. Still not at a 100%, but definitely feeling better now.

Also, sorry Canad for forgetting about having someone attack Nald. But hey, that means Nald can do whatever he wants.

Like, help Fayalin or something.

Cause I'm not gonna have Tovius do it. He's there to help move the plot along, not to steal any spotlights, so someone else will need to step up to the plate if/when they get the chance to.

Or maybe Fayalin can start pulling some Matrix stuff, heh heh.

Hehe, its not ben too bad, I only got the internet back in my room yesterday (after it being gone since the 23rd of Oct), so not having to post much has almost been a blessing.

That and i now hve my old monitor hooked up to my 360 letting me play and complete Halo 3 in HD, i likes it. completed it finding 6 skulls and the first and last terminal. Too much work to do the rest atm, but maybe later. Played online a bunch last weekend at my friends house on his sisters account, got MVP award on my 2nd match :D, though sods law means i will never get it when i finally find out if i can get my 360 online here at uni.

Oh, not gonna be around for a week from saturday either, got a field trip to Greece for my uni course. :p

Evil Mage-That's-Shutting-Down-the-Magic Killing Time!!!

I'm having some personal issues right now. It's nothing serious but it's all I can think about, I'll be back sometime fairly soon.

I'm happy! :)

Ok, i'm gonna be gone for the next week, if its anything like this week, the rp will only move slowly and i shouldn't miss much. But on the off chance that something big does happen, i'm sure someone will kindly rp my character responsibly.

Cya in 8 days. :p

TG coming up for you, Arthur.

Important TG Reply sent, Rhinara

Yeah, I'm going to be gone next week too.

Sorry, gone for two weeks, but not I'm back. Could I get another little update (I know it hasn't progressed that far - but I'm still really busy).

I would make a post about Faye going to treat William's wound, but I'm currently waiting for a reply from Reg, since Lanu was questioning her. And I'm slightly surprised no-one else took the opportunity to overhear his enquiry as well.

Yea, He's gonna accept Faye's request... I'm just too lazy to write the post. Sorry guys. I'll get on it.

Been quite busy the last few days, haven't got round to posting in a while, activity may be sketchy next week, but i will post something up soon.

Nothing is really coming to mind atm, but i've had a long day and maybe ill be more awake tomorrow.

Will heard it, but doesn't feel like interrogating the person best able to prevent permanent damage to his arm.

Sorry for the silence on my end. I was at my fiancee's family's place for Thanksgiving, which meant no internet aside from quick e-mail checks. Any my company is moving to a different location at the end of the week, so I'll be busy doing lots of paperwork at our current place and packing everything before moving to the new place next week. ...and my wedding date is getting closer, so I might get a little more caught up in that as we go along.

I'll try to type up something when I get the chance. No promises it'll be this week though... :\

Woohoo! Wedding! Now, where's my invitation?

I am pretty busy until the new year myself, so no biggie if this remains slow.

Nothing is really coming to mind atm, but i've had a long day and maybe ill be more awake tomorrow.

I finally got around to posting something, it just took a few days more than i expected :p

Been busy busy, unlucky enough to have a bunch of things due in at the same time but pretty much all finished now so i'm back around.

Finally got around to posting. Thanks for your patience, everyone. Today's the first day in the new office, and everything's a mess still and some of the important things aren't working correctly, so I'll be busy for a while until all that sorts out.

TG coming up for Theao.

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I found out, at my father's confession, that I was inadvertently responsible for my two younger brother's deaths. I haven't been able to think straight since.

RL always comes before RPing here, so no worries. Sorry about the news, man.

Finally finished uni for Christmas, and got all those last minute assignments out the way, so I have time to post again. :)

I think there were only the two horses - let me know if I'm wrong.

And sorry I haven't been keeping all your guys' chars more actively involved. I'll try to work on that. Will probably have to create another character or something like that.

That's rough Lup.

TG coming up for DMG and Kitab.

Affirmative.

Sorry for being MIA, guys. Wedding stuff, ya know. It's 1.5 months away!!!

KAtG, did you get the memo about the new RP that Blastit has started? I'm sure you'd fit in wonderfully in that RP, and we'd love to have you.

Aye, and there's only about another 20 months before he starts it, so hurry.

Is it safe to assume this RP has died? It has been six weeks since last IC post (probably a few months for my last IC post).

Well, apart from the fact that you're one of the people that could do with actually making a post (especially since you were directly addressed in Rhin's last post) :p, we could possibly do with another one from Rhinara. There certainly wasn't much for me to respond to in the last one, bar something along the lines of 'Faye's getting up, picking up her stuff and following Tovius' which I'd struggle to extend to a length I'd feel acceptable (I really hate making short IC posts if I can avoid it).

I have no idea what is going on at this point.

KAtG, did you get the memo about the new RP that Blastit has started? I'm sure you'd fit in wonderfully in that RP, and we'd love to have you.

I must have missed that one, though if the timeline is 20 months, I don't know how much speed I need. TG me with the details, and tell Blastit I'd be happy to look at it, and probably join.

On another note, as far as I can tell, the group is headed to the river, where they plan to hire passage to the coast. William is not with them, having gone on ahead to 'question' one of men from the raid on the camp, utilizing a technique that essentially amounts to waterboarding.

20 months was a wee bit of hyperbole. It has, in fact, already started, though I am sure you could still join.
