yes it is

lol

mmmmMMMM HELLO CHILDREN-
sorry
that was weird
I'm bored so I'm rewatching a bunch of spooky ghost/alien/murder stuff while trying to figure other stuffs out

Watching murder stuff sounds fun. XD

Yes it does
Iactuallybelieveinghostshahakillme

i don believe in ghosts but i believe in m a g i c
(to a certain extent)

'kill me'
bit morbid dont you think

Y'know, it's hard to not believe in ghosts when you and your entire family continues to see the family dog for two years after she passed. Just sayin'. And with that crazy statement, Aggron's here! :D

Geez. XD
Hi Aggron!

So, are there any topics we need to discuss?

ghosts are cool yo
except for this supposed ghost that keeps turning the tempurature thingie on the radiator in my sister's room down
they're mean

Re: sHUSH MY CHILD-
YOU'RE GOOD AT SPECIES
>:(((

Hi I'm back

Yes, do we have topics?

@King
Aw that must suck
I wanna find a ghost tbh. Not one that'll murder or posess me though XD

(Aggron/Draco) At the moment, I can't think of anything specific that we need to discuss. But if there's anything anyone wants to talk about, I'm fine with that!
I won't reveal too much of what I have planned for later in the RP though.

Going to upload a section of Armin's past later. It's pretty long, so I'll have to post it in browser comments. I'll do that once I can get family members off the computer for five minutes.

Anyone got any ideas for what the next cover illustration should be? I kinda want to do another dragon/creature for it.

It's going to be evening/night soon, right? Maybe draw Crowley in his alternate form? owo

Yeah, I might do that!

@Draco I have a question: So, your character Jed is a vampire who is masquerading as a dog to get close to @King's character, Ango, right? To what end? It's just that an adult vampire pretending to be a normal dog and following this young girl around is a little creepy in concept.

(Aggron) That reminds me of the first RP session, where Arminus randomly approached a young girl (Tochi) in the middle of the night, started talking to her, and then walked off with her. I think we might have a running theme involving creepy vampires in this RP. XD

@Radiant Now that you mention it, yeah, that's true. XD I doubt it'll end anytime soon.

(Aggron) Now I'm gonna have to do more things like that to keep the joke going. XD

I'm thinking I might try sketching a rough map of Shacklestone City, just to give a general idea of whereabouts everything is. I'm not good at drawing maps, though.

@Radiant Do it. It'd be nice to see how everything is situated.

So, anyone else check here other than @Radiant and myself?

It's probably not going to be very active yet, we're still early in the RP and there isn't a lot to talk about.

Oh, and a quick note about Shacklestone:
Certain technologies, namely cars and firearms, are quite rare and expensive (probably because there aren't many people who know how to make them yet). This is why I haven't shown anyone using a car in the city, even though they do exist. Also, a lot of people still use older weapons like swords and daggers in combat, rather than guns, which are harder to get hold of.
Most of the police forces have cars, but only about half of them use firearms at the moment. The rest stick with the older weaponry that Shacklestone has been using for centuries.

Not to mention wooden stakes are one of the few weapons that can reliably kill a vampire, so normal guns wouldn't work against them.

That wasn't really a 'quick' note. XD

@Crowley, Kinda wish you told me that before I incorrectly portrayed SCPD. XD (ShackleStone City Police Department) Noted. I'll do better next time. Also, wood might be the only thing that can kill a vampire, but, from what I saw in Armin's ministory, their physical forms are destructable, yes? So, in theory, if one were to shoot a vampire in the kneecaps, wouldn't that effectively cripple them?

(Aggron) Well, I didn't know you were going to go ahead and take control of the entire police department. But yes, assume that although the officers who attacked the mansion used guns, not all of them do.

In my mind, the vampires can heal from most injuries, but can't regrow entire body parts. So if you shot one in the knee, yeah, you could cripple them temporarily, but they'd heal later. On the other hand, if the vampire lost its entire leg, it would be permanently disabled.

This probably doesn't make a lot of sense, but hey it's a fantasy world. XD

I also just remembered, wood isn't strictly the only thing that can kill the vampires. Decapitation would work too.

@Crowley Well, logically, after seeing kids getting kidnaped, one would call the police. Because they're npcs, I thought assuming temporary control was ok. And the vampire thing does make sense. They're heavily magical beings from what I've come to understand, so yeah, regenesis for small wounds makes sense.

By small wounds, I mean not loss of body parts.

(Aggron) Yeah, it's OK. Just keep in mind that because they're technically NPC's, other people can decide to take control of them at any time.

Glad the vampire thing makes some amount of sense. XD Another thing I haven't really revealed yet is the extent of their magical abilities. A lot of the info is written on Armin's ref, but some vampires like Sargon have more powers I haven't mentioned.

By the way, the dragon image on Dianne's ref. Is it just a silhouette to show the height difference, or is it actually what her dragon form looks like? Just checking in case I decide to draw her for a future RP cover.

@Radiant That's just a silhouette. I've been trying to make a ref for her dragon form, but I've been slammed with homework for a few weeks now, so it's been slow going. I'll try to get it done soon though.

The silhouette is structurally accurate, it just doesn't portray the coloring.

(Aggron) Alright, I'll wait for that ref. Good luck with the homework.

@Radiant Thanks. :)

Anyone in the group want to exchange friendcodes if we haven't already?

I wouldn't mind.

Alright, if you want to, here's mine:
One zero three two
One eight three five
Eight five one seven

(I think I remembered it correctly. XD)

@Radiant Ok, here's mine: zero, zero, eight, seven, three, two, four, four, two, six, three, eight.

Added ya!

Excellent. Btw, here's a question: In the next RP, do you think Crowley's crazy enough to attack Dianne on that rooftop over some foul words?

Depending on what she says, yes, there's a good chance he would.

@Radiant Alrighty, I'll try to get her other ref done by then. She might need it. XD

Yeah, I'm planning to let Crowley push her off the roof, just to see what happens. XD

Uh oh. looks like we might have a monster fight on our hands. XD Yeah, she's not going to like that. This next RP is going to be fun.

Now that I think about it, Crowley and my characters have never gotten along. In TDS, both Ardens and Vitis really didn't like him, and now in this, he and Dianne are clearly not friends. Why is it that none of my peeps ever like the Crow-Boi? XD

Probably because your characters (or at least Ardens) seem to like sticking their noses into his business, and he hates that. XD
Actually, Crowley and Vitis kinda got along. They just insulted each other a lot, which Crowley would do with anyone, even if they were close friends.

Plus, there are very few people Crowley DOES like. He's mostly rude and annoying to everyone.

@Radiant Yeah, probably. XD I know that Ardens was so nosy because of fear. He always acted like he didn't care about most people, but in reality, he did. That's why he was so concerned about the clan war and why he was trying so hard to stop it, even if it meant committing assault and prying on everyone's business. Dianne's probably not getting along with Crowley because she's a little condescending. When she looks at him, all she sees is an annoying little hatchling who's playing with something he shouldn't be. XD As for Vitis, he was getting along with Crowley probably because they're both naturally hateful. Maybe I'll bring him into this with an updated ref to give Crowley a friend.

Yeah, the way Dianne speaks to him is probably the reason. Crowley doesn't like it much when people talk down on him, he wants to be shown respect at all times. Usually, this means he ends up acting like a spoilt little kid. XD

And that's interesting, would Vitis be a dragon shapeshifter or some other creature? I'm curious as to what his human form would look like.

{Heheheh, yeah. Crowley does seem like a proud creature. It would make sense that he would expect to be respected at all times. But that, along with his personality, makes the instances where people diss him really fun to read. XD As for Vitis, I think he'd stay a serpent. I'd change things as necessary to keep him balanced of course. For his human form, I think I'd give him the yellow eyes and hair the same colors as his feathers. As for thebrest of his appearance, he'd probably look like a scrawny young man wearing a tank top, jeans, and either a hat or a bandana. Maybe I'd give him tattoos, maybe not. That was just the first idea of him that came to mind.

*The rest. Dang misclick.....

Haha, I like using Crowley in RPs because he always ends up arguing/fighting with everyone, and it does get funny sometimes. I've never done an RP where he's actually become close friends with someone. It's just not in his nature.

I like the idea of that, and Vitis' human form sounds pretty cool. Maybe he and Crowley will gang up and cause loads of trouble in the city together? XD

Heheh, that does sound like fun. XD I've only got one character slot left for this RP. Perhaps it should go to Vitis. I really can't think of anyone else who'd be good for this one.

I'd love to see Vitis in Shacklestone, but it's up to you. Whatever happens, I'm sure I can get Crowley to cause a ton of trouble anyway. XD

Yes, Crowley needs no help when it comes to causing trouble. XD I might throw him in there, but first, I need to finish Dianne's alt ref. After that, perhaps I will make Vitis a character.

Oh, I've been meaning to ask, how big is Crowley's dragon form? Is it the same as it was in TDS?

Yeah, he's six feet tall in dragon form.

Can he still teleport?

Not at the moment, but if I think he needs extra abilities later on, maybe I'll change that. His skills lie mostly in his speed and reflexes, plus his small size can be an advantage sometimes.

In any case, I already have my vampires who can teleport/open portals. X)

Oh yeah, that's right. XD Oh, btw, I might not have much time to RP this saturday, if at all. I have to be somewhere at 9pm GMT, or about two hours after we start. Is there any chance we could start the RP a little earlier on saturday so that no one will have to wait for me to continue when I leave?

Alright, I'll see if I can start it an hour earlier than usual (6PM GMT). I can't do it any earlier than that, but I'll try to give you as much time as possible to finish up your character interactions before you leave.

@Radiant Thank you. I appreciate this. I hope this doesn't mess up your daily schedule. D:

So, Dianne's dragon ref is coming along well. I did want to ask everyone something though. When I post it, what would you all like to see in the description? An explanation of her backstory, or a breakdown of her magic and abilities? Let me know.

I'd personally prefer to see information on her abilities. It's helpful for everyone to know, and besides, her backstory can be revealed or discussed during the RP if it comes up.

I have a feeling no-one's ever going to use this chatroom besides us. XD

I keep forgetting to do Sargon's ref.

Heheh, yeah. I guess I'll have to ask the rest at the RP itself. XD You're probably right though, her story can be explained in the RP later, should it become necessary.
I am curious to see what Sargon looks like though.

Yep, that's why I thought it's probably not necessary to write it down, I keep my characters' pasts mostly secret unless they crop up during the RP.

I'll try to get around to doing his ref soon, but it might not be ready by this Saturday. I still have the cover to finish, and I suck at drawing humans. XD

I feel ya. Humans are hard. :/

Yeah, and I'm too impatient to spend 5-plus hours on my refs like you did. I just have to do them as fast as possible and hope they turn out OK. I'll hopefully get Sargon's finished over the next couple of weeks though. I need to give all the info on his powers and stuff.

Heh, I didn't intentionally take 5 plus hours. I just kept working it piece by piece until I was happy with it.
Btw, I have a bit of bad news. It turns out that I will have to leave on saturday for my destination around 6 pm GMT, so don't bother trying to start early. Maybe the place I'm going will have wi-fi, but no guarantees. As for our interaction, I guess you'll just have to ret-con it. Don't wait for me if you don't want to.

Actually, maybe we should just decide now how the interaction between our two characters will ultimately end. That way, no loose ends will be left over.

Hmm, alright. I'll need to continue with Crowley and Maisara next session, otherwise Kole# and I will both be stuck. So should I just make him ignore Dianne and fly off with the pocket watch? That's pretty much what I was going to have him do anyway, minus the pushing her off a rooftop part.

Well, pushing her off the roof won't kill her, so you could push her off /and/ fly away if you want. If Crowley pushes her off the roof, she will use a spell to avoid getting hurt. It would look like she becomes smoke when she hits the ground. When her alt ref is done, I'll elaborate on that. She will be very angry with Crowley the next time he's around if he pushes her off the roof though. It's your decision which path you take.

Well, to avoid any complications, I'll probably just have Crowley escape the scene with Maisara. That should leave everything open for next time you can attend again.

Ok, that sounds good. However, in the event that my destination has wifi, should we just pick up right where we left off? It probably won't, I'm just covering all bases.

Sure, if you're able to attend, we should continue with their conversation.

Alrighty. I'll be looking forward to reading about what happens next, and hopefully, I'll be able to make it next time.

Well, that RP was interesting to say the least. Looks like the battle might have gone from a 2v2 to a 3v1, and I don't think Maisara understood that Dianne was trying to help him. Still fun tho. :)

Guess he trusted Finy more than her. X)

Yeah, guess so. XD Next time will be very interesting. I'm surprised that Crowley's bugging out. Why did he make that decision?

Also, look back at this week's RP. Someone's asking to join us.

He's not quite as stupid as he seems. He was aware that his life was in immediate danger, so he decided the best idea was to run for it. He might try to get revenge on Dianne and Maisara later, though...

And I noticed that, but the RP is closed right now, so I turned them down.

I see. Well, the revenge is to be expected. According to Crowley's bio, he'll hold a permanent grudge against anyone who hurts him. Well, Dianne hurt him. XD

As for the person who wanted to join, how did they take the news?

Nvm, I just read it. Out of curiosity, if another spot for a player in the story were to open up, would @Tookie19 be your first pick to invite?

If that ever happened, I'd be more likely to find someone who I've RPed with before to join the group. If nobody was available, I'd start asking other people.

Anyway, I don't think I'd allow anyone else to join unless two or more members dropped out.

Ah, ok. That makes sense. No offense to Tookie19, but they don't seem to be very experienced with RPs. Should the need to recruit a new player arise, I agree that it would be better to ask someone who is more familiar with RPs and their general rules and assumptions.

Yeah. I don't have a problem RPing with less experienced people, but I'd rather RP with someone I know personally. There are a few people I have in mind in case we ever have an empty space, but most of them will probably be busy.

Always good to have alt players in mind. Anyone I know of?

Well, FadingGlory mentioned possibly joining later on, but I think she'll be too busy. And I'd like to have GriffinPride or TurtleeDove, I think they're great RPers.

I agree. T'was never a dull moment with them around. X)

Hey, Dianne's alt ref is up. :)

Saw it and commented!

I think I might give Crowley another ability, I feel like he's a pretty bad excuse for a magical creature, given the powers everyone else has. Maybe I'll give him his warping/teleporting ability back, or something completely new.

Cool. Can't wait to see what it is. Btw, my wifi connection is down right now. If it doesn't come back by tomorrow, well, that'll be why I don't show up. I'm typing this on a borrowed phone.

(Aggron) Alright. Hope you manage to make it.

So, the vampires attacked the orphanage. Low blow, Sargon, low blow. XD

Unfortunately for him, his minions suck so much that not one of the humans died or was captured. XD

Yeah, they talk big, but they just seem like bumbling idiots. Except for that bearded guy.
Vampire:"Aaaayyy, Ima gonna keel ya wit my vampire powerz, defenseless orphan!" //Gets a.ss kicked by dog//
"Darn, I'll get ya next time!" //Jumps out window.// XD

Haha, I like making the bad guys really stupid, it can get fun sometimes. XD
Sargon will get better minions eventually though.

That'll be interesting to see. Heh, I wonder what Sargon will think about the failed attack on the orphanage. Will he be most displeased about them failing, or by them revealing themselves to humans that survived the encounter?

Well, you might have noticed that the vampire pack was only sent out to investigate the area, not rush in and start attacking people. So Sargon won't be impressed that they decided to do that, putting themselves and his plans at risk.

To be honest, I don't think Sargon cares so much about staying hidden anymore. Since the police found his original hideout, and his minions were spotted kidnapping children, they can't expect to keep themselves a secret for much longer. XD

Oooooh, does this mean that soon Sargon will soon reveal and enact his plan?

Who knows? I don't plan out everything in advance in this RP, though I do store ideas for things to happen later on. But I feel like Sargon will be working to build up his army over the next few sessions. And soon or later, everyone in the city will be aware of what's going on.

I'll just say this: there will be more vampire attacks and fighting. >:)

Sounds exciting! Combat in RPs is always fun! Can't wait for the next session!

My art motivation has dropped to zero again, I don't think I'll be able to make a new cover this week. I had an idea in mind, but I haven't even started drawing it. :/

That's fine. It's the fun we have during the RP that counts. Cover pages are cool, but they aren't necessary for hosting an RP. Just out of curiosity, what was it going to be?

Thanks. And you'll have to wait until I draw it next week to find out. XD

Alrighty, I'll be looking forward to that. :)

Woo, I'm actually going to get the cover finished this week!

Whoo! Can't wait to see it! :D

Yo! That RP was legit! Things just got real! I can't wait to see what happens next!

Yup! I'm pretty excited to see what happens next RP. I don't plan any of this stuff out beforehand because I don't know what other people will decide to do, so the battle could swing any number of ways... I have a few ideas, though.

I'm curious to what Dianne will think about all the humans being killed. XD

I can tell you right now. She doesn't like it. XD Aside from the fact that Sargon's killing all her customers, she'll be concerned with the aftermath and how less aggressive non-humans like herself will be treated by humanity after word of this event gets out.

That sounds like her. XD

By the way, after next week's RP, I'll be taking a one-week break to do some other stuff.

Alrighty! Sounds good to me! :)

Hey, I was looking at all the refs, and I noticed that @Bloodhybrid's ref of Finnian is missing. I tracked down the original painting on their account and found that the only the RP tag on the painting was removed. I just wanted to ask if you were aware of this.

Nope, I wasn't aware of it until you just said. But I had a feeling BloodHybrid was going to leave the group anyway (assuming that's what she's done). She hasn't shown up at any recent sessions.
I kinda wish she'd bothered to tell me, though.

'Tis a shame to lose someone so creative, but it's their choice. Furthermore, we don't know what life is like for @Blood outside the gallery. They probably have a good reason for calling it quits. But, it's still rather rude of them to not notify you. Well, all we can do is move on.

On a less somber note, I was thinking, since the next RP isn't for two weeks, I should have Vitis done by then. So, what if Vitis is introduced as a prisoner that Sargon frees? Vitis' personality isn't a very nice one to begin with, and I think introducing him in this way will give him a cool and dramatic entrance into the RP.

That sounds cool! Will he be joining Sargon's army or going to the light side? I've just noticed that I pretty much control every villain in the story. XD It's up to you, though. I'm curious to see what it'll be like when he eventually meets Crowley.

I'll leave it as a surprise. I'm also curious to see how he and Crowley interact. I'm already thinking of funny bird-related names for Vitis to call him. XD

Mmm, I just thought of something. Does ShackleStone have a mayor or some other elected official? If so, what are they doing right now? Are they even alive?

Everyone always insults Crowley, the poor guy. XD

There is a mayor, but I don't know who they are. There's a good chance that they've already been killed, since as if Sargon had any intelligence, he'd probably try to get rid of the most important people in the city quickly.

Oh hey look someone other than you two is using the chatroom-
In the next roleplay I really want Ango to be difficult and go to the hospital to find her mother, but I wanted to check if it would conflict with anything you guys had in mind?

(King) Yep, that's fine! It'll be really interesting to see what happens, since as most of the humans are now leaving the city. I'm getting excited for next week's session. XD

Well, it must suck to be mayor! XD Also, you mentioned that Sargon was looking for new recruits in the prison. What kind of baddies could he find in there?
@King Ango's going to go after her mother? Mmmmm, ShackleStone's a dangerous place for a lone kid right now. Not sure if that'll go over well.

(Aggron) Not sure yet. I doubt I'll be adding any new characters to the RP, so they'll most likely be minor background characters.

I won't let Ango die, I want to see what she does.

Ango be like "I'MA SAVE YOU MOM" while Toby and Jed try to drag her out of the city XD

@Radiant Will these minor characters be the "stronger minions" that Sargon wanted?
@King What exactly is wrong with Ango's mother? Is it severe brain damage, or just PTSD from being attacked by Ruscar?

@Aggron
Y'know, I've never actually thought it through that much, but I do have PTSD as a starting point.
Now that I think about it more, it's probably more the "routine" of do housework, buy the things I tell you to, you've done this wrong, I'll beat you for this, ect. being taken away so suddenly. You would probably get used to the abuse in four years, and probably slightly brainwashed that it's an okay thing too.
Maybe a minor case of brain damage too? Ruscar was a vicious barstool, so it's not out of the question that he'd deal some harsh damage before he was dragged away.
Plus, seeing the supposedly dead father of your daughter in anything remotely similar to him would do quite the number on your brain.
(I feel like this is slightly ominous and mostly confusing I hope you can understand my tired ramblings)

(Aggron) Maaaaaybe...

@Radiant I guess it'll be a surprise.

@King So, PTSD, Stockholme's Syndrome, and possible brain damage?

@Aggron
Sommat like that, yeah-

(Aggron) More like I haven't really thought about the prisoners until now. But I definitely might have some ideas for them.

Hmm, not sure who to draw for the next cover...

@Radiant Ok. How about Ango sneaking through the city for the coverpage?

@King I see. There's only one cure then. Slapping sense into the patient while telling them they're a horrible mother for letting Ango go to an orphanage. XD

(Aggron) I might try that. Humans are a pain to draw though. XD

@Radiant Yeah, they are. XD Right now, Vitis' face is giving me problems.

Sneaking? More like sprinting and yelling XD

@Radiant Wait a minute, where's Ivy in all this chaos?

Hiding in her apartment and texting all her friends to find out what's going on. XD She'll probably have to come out eventually.

@Radiant Heh, yeah, probably when @Kole brings Asher into this. You know, so Ivy doesn't immediately get slaughtered fron trying to flirt with the nearest non-human. XD

Yeah, I hope Kole manages to make the next session (for Ivy's sake. XD) but I understand she's often busy.

One can hope. XD You could just hold off from using Ivy until they can make it. According to what they said, they'll be able to make it sometime soon.

Yeah, I might do that if she doesn't arrive. I can also try to hold off Sargon going to the prison if you want to introduce Vitis that way next week.

How about this: I'll post his WIP, since all he needs now is color and a background anyway, and I'll take down the wip when I finish him for real. How's that?

If you'd like to do that, then that's fine with me. It'd be nice to introduce him today.

Heheheh. That was fun. Cannot wait for next time.

Now that things have escalated, I shall now come up with evil plots. >:D

Hah, alright. XD
Don't go overboard though. I want this RP to stay balanced, and other people have their own little plots too. Your OCs (aside from Vitis, obviously) already get a fair bit of spotlight, so just keep that in mind with whatever you're planning, OK?

On an unrelated note, I need to figure out who's going on the next cover. I'm thinking one of Kole's characters since as she just returned to the RP, but I kinda suck at humans. XD

@Radiant Define overboard. XD
Seriously though, I don't think what I have on mind will trample the plots of others. What I have in mind is really just going to be combating the new overlords of the city through strategic maneuvers. A game of wits, I suppose, between Jeremiah and Sargon.

As for the cover, why not attempt Nyx? Yeah, humans are difficult to draw, but improvement comes with repetition, right? If you really don't want to draw people, then do her dragon form maybe?

Alright, I look forward to that! I'd better help Sargon get all his plans together. XD I'm wondering what Jeremiah's intending to do, though, being one human against an old and powerful vampire. I guess they're never going to fight directly. XD

I've thought about drawing Nyx's dragon form on earlier covers. Right now it's a tie between her, or Asher and Ivy. I'll have to see who I can draw best when I come to do it.

Actually, it's one human vs an old and powerful vampire plus his army. Yeah, Jerry's going to need help. XD However, if he and Sargon do meet one on one, it will probably end up in a fight.

Now Jerry and Armin have joined forces, they ought to find some allies of their own. Or at least gather a small group of people who can help them. One human and a vampire who Sargon will instantly recognise might have trouble. XD

Currently doing a playback of human doodles for practice...

Yeah, that actually sounds like an interesting plot. Getting together a coalition of everyone's good characters to create an opposition to Sargon that is shared by all. I like that idea.

I doubt every character will join them though. Right now, a lot of people are still in the city, and Ivy/Asher are on their own. But yeah, it might be fun to gather more allies.

Yeah, definitely. This next session will certainly be intresting.

In regards to your comment about how long it takes to turn into a vampire, I just threw out a time frame that might make sense in order to make the point that turning isn't instantaneous. That's all. :/

It's alright. Probably my fault for not saying how long the transformation took in the first place, though it never came up until that moment. I will change the timeframe to what I said in that comment though, just to make things easier.

Last night's session didn't go too well, if things don't pick up next week, I may have to consider putting the RP on hiatus. It's starting to become more difficult to run it, thanks to a combination of reasons.

Replied in the browser comments.

Oh dear. What do you mean by "pick up"?

Well, I'm just hoping that everyone manages to make it next time and we don't have any problems with people leaving partway through. I know you were absent for a reason, not blaming you. I'm still not sure what happened to King, though.

Hosting an RP is a lot harder than I thought it would be, it's fun most of the time but there's also a lot of pressure to keep things going smoothly.

Well, the only predictable thing about life is its unpredictability. Sometimes, there's nothing we can do when life demands our time and attention, and nonessential things have to be momentarily discarded. Now, that doesn't reflect you or your ability to host RPs, it just means that the players are busy people at times. Now, I do not mean to sound rude, but it seems that part of your problem was trying to participate in three different rps at once. As host, you might not want to overextend yourself on RP day.

You could be right. Last session, I was doing multiple RPs plus other things in real life. The other two RPs didn't require too much of my attention, but still, I'll try not to multitask that much next week.

I also think I'm going to take more regular breaks from Shacklestone. Maybe a break every 3 weeks rather than every 4-5. It gives me more time to draw covers in advance and plan out my characters' next moves.

Sounds like a plan.

Now that finals are over, I can finally finish Vitis.

That's great! Do you think he'll be done by tomorrow?

Potentially. Only one problem though. I'll be going somewhere tomorrow, and I don't know during what time frame. Either I won't be able to make it at all tomorrow, or I'll be here for the latter half of the RP. The deciding factor will be how well things go at my destination.

Alrighty, I'll keep that in mind for tomorrow. Hope you can make it, even if you can't be there for the whole session.

Sorry for the browser comments by the way, I never remember to check the chatroom on my DS.

Last night's RP was fun! I love Crowley and Mortikai's interactions. XD

Yes, it was. Mortikai and Crowley certainly do seem to get along. Next session, I'm going to throw Vitis into their midst and see what happens.

I'd like you to wait a bit, actually. King and I have kinda planned to have Crowley's group meet up with Ango and her mother, and I feel like if Vitis gets involved, he and Crowley will probably end up fighting and destroying the rest of the hospital.

Alrighty, no problem. Looking forward to that interaction. I'll keep Vitis a safe distance away while you do that. : )

Thanks. I'm anticipating that whenever they do meet up, Crowley's probably going to get called a birdbrain or something. He usually does. XD

Yup. I take it that might set him off then? Also, is Crowley going to kill Ango's mother?

It might. It depends how things go. I'd say Crowley's pretty accustomed to being called names by now. XD

And about Ango's mother... that would be spoilers. :) But I can see that maybe happening too. It depends on whether King would be alright with it.

Heh, ok. I wonder how Ango would react if her mother became a draugr? I doubt Dianne would actually do that, as the body of an old woman probably wouldn't be too useful, yet I'm curious as to what Ango would do.

I've got a very particular funny name for Vitis to call Crowley when they finally do meet. I wonder if it'll make him mad enough to start a monster fight. XD
Huh, I brought Vitis into this to give Crowley a friend, and now it seems that they're going to try to kill each other the first chance they get. Interesting.

Yeah, I don't imagine there would be much use for that, but it's an interesting thought. I wonder if it would traumatise Ango more to just kill her mother, or kill her and then revive her as a zombie thing. XD

Hopefully they'll fight and then make friends? XD I don't think Crowley would stand much chance in a fight against a giant serpent, though he does have speed to his advantage.

It would, without a doubt, be crazy traumatic for her. XD If it were to happen though, I'd expect Ango to approach Dianne, pleading with her to let her mother go, or worse yet, resurrect her with necromancy. For some reason, I picture a highly distraught Ango alone on a deserted street pointing a rusty, scavenged revolver at Dianne while demanding one of the prior choices. Well, in the end, it's @King's choice of what they want to do with the character.

As for Vitis vs Crowley, maybe they could be friends after trying to murder each other. I know Vitis is pretty laid back about things, so he might not care about the scuffle after the fact. As far as the matchup goes, you're probably right, especially with Crowley's injury. Vitis's strategy is to constrict his prey, and with Crowley's compromised ribcage, it might not end well.

Yeah, it's up to King ultimately. Next session I'll ask him if it would be all right for Crowley to kill Ango's mum. Then you and King can discuss what happens to her after that.

We'll just have to see what happens. Crowley might still be quick enough to evade Vitis and escape relatively unharmed. Then again, the only time he'll surrender a fight is when he realises his life is in danger, so things might get messy. XD

Messy indeed. XD There will be many knives thrown and insults exchanged.
Vitis' ref is basically done now, but I'm not sure if I should post it right before the next RP, or later today.

I don't think it really matters what time you post it.

Naw, it doesn't. I'll post it friday, when I get a moment.

Vitis' new ref is up.

I've been thinking about what I want to do with Ivy. I'd like to give her a more important role in the RP, and as I'm almost sure Kole isn't coming back, she'll be free to do what she wants.

Re: I put the tag. Can't believe I forgot that.

Ok, what did you have in mind for Ivy? And are you certain @Kole is gone for good?

I haven't planned anything specific for Ivy yet. I'm not completely sure Kole is gone, but she's definitely missed a few sessions, and I've seen her attending other RPs during the time Shacklestone is on. If she doesn't show up next session, I'll ask her about it. If she isn't coming back, then I can remove Ivy from Asher's presence and have her doing something else.

Alrighty. In the event that @Kole quits the RP, will anyone else be asked to fill the gap, or will we continue with only four players?

We'll be continuing as normal for now. Most of the people I know are busy on Saturdays. I can try asking around to see if anyone's interested, but only if it becomes difficult to RP with only four players.

Ok. Let's see how it goes. Btw, I keep hearing about all these other RPs that you and @Kole are participating in. If you don't mind me asking, what are they, and are they on Colors too?

Kole has her own RPs with her friends that she holds some days. I'm also in an RP with FadingGlory and a few private RPs that aren't always on Colors.

I see. I was just curious. :/ I'll be sticking with this one until the end though.

Did I say something wrong?

Anyway, I might have a couple of ideas for what I'll do with Ivy... also Sheldon. And some of them are very evil ideas. XD

Say something wrong? Not at all. :) Evil ideas, you say? Tell me more. >:D

Well, I don't want to say too much, but I've been planning for something pretty nasty to happen to Sheldon for a while. Originally I planned to kill him off, but I don't think I'll do that now, I have another idea. XD

As for Ivy, I don't have a full plan for her yet. I still need to find out if Kole's coming back.

Most interesting. If you do end up brutalizing Sheldon, do it in front of somebody who'd care. That type of interaction can often serve as a catalyst for drastic actions and decisions. As for Ivy, let's theoretically say Kole never comes back. What would you do with Ivy?

I knew that. I like doing dramatic scenes with characters dying or having horrible things happen to them. Sheldon doesn't have any friends besides Tochi, though. XD

I'm open to suggestions for Ivy. I never expected Kole (and by extension Asher) to leave, so I hadn't tried to plan anything else for her until now. I'll probably just wing it.

Hmm, that's true. We'll just see how it goes.
As for Ivy, I'm not sure what she could do. Maybe she could join up with Jerry and Armin? Winging it with her might just be the best course of action.

Yeah, I might do that. It'd be fun to have someone else in Armin and Jerry's group.

Yeah, I was hoping to pull more characters into that group, as two individuals might not last long against an army. :p It's bound to be fun either way.

That'll be a plan then. :) If Kole doesn't arrive tomorrow, then I'll go ahead and move Ivy.

Although, it's worth mentioning that Ivy won't last long in a fight either. XD

I'm sure we'll find a function for her. She works at the local supermarket, yes?

Yep, she does (or rather, she used to).

Ok then, I've got an idea. >:D

What kind of idea? :o

Oh, you'll find out.

So, just found out I've got tons of chores to do on Saturday, so I can't guarantee that I'll be able to stay long. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Ah it's fine, don't worry about it. X)

Why am I so evil to Sheldon. XD

I don't know why you've chosen Sheldon to be the bearer of such misfortune. I've got to know though, will he really turn into a lycan, or is he just going to die?

Oh yeah, he'll be a werewolf. I still have some future plans for him, but none of them are concrete yet. His 'species' of werewolf can shift at any time, though I haven't yet decided what effects the transformation might have on his mind.

Uh oh, is he going to shift for the first time, get the bloodlust, and then murder people? And then be all like "I'm a monster, waaaah!"

Hmm... That sounds like it could be fun, actually. >:)

To be honest, that just sounds depressing. Sheldon already has self esteem issues and zero backbone. Why make his situation worse for him? Although, what if he gets a taste of the non-human strength and abilities that come with being a lycan, and then proceeds to go crazy with it?

I feel like it's important for characters to suffer and face obstacles, otherwise what is there to make them interesting and relatable? Yeah, I put Sheldon through a lot, but I think eventually he'll find peace. Maybe he'll even gain some confidence from being a werewolf, as he'll actually be able to stick up for himself and protect the people he cares about.

As for going crazy with his new power, I don't really see that happening. I know Sheldon, and it wouldn't fit with his nature to do that.
But I'm definitely going to explore his lycanthropy over the next few sessions and find out how the change is going to affect him.

Well, it is true that hardships, suffering, and ordeals shape characters and is apart of the human condition. If you think Sheldon will benefit from living with the guilt of murdering an innocent person, or if you just want to crush him into the ground with misfortune after misfortune, then more power to you. XD I am most interested in what you'll decide to do with him.

Hey, I'm evil, what can I say? I don't think I'll do anything /too/ horrible to him. But there are some people in the world who just always seem to get worse luck than others, and Sheldon represents that. He's a character who I genuinely care about getting a happy ending, because he deserves it after all the cra.p I put him through. XD

Hehehe, yeah, his luck is pretty cra.ppy. Ok, sounds like you've got a plan for him, and I look forward to seeing how he deals with his lycanthropy and his final fate. I imagine Sargon will be all like "Join the dark side, Sheldon. You're superior to humans now! Plus, we have cookies!"

I /kinda/ have a plan for him. Mostly, I just wing everything, but I do have ideas.

Ooh yeah, that should happen at some point. XD

(Replied in the browser)

I also noticed a few days ago that we're getting close to Shacklestone's 20th session.

Heheheh, cookies can win over anyone. XD 20th, you say? Planning anything special for that RP?

I'm not sure about the RP itself, but I might draw something to celebrate... like a group picture of everyone's characters. There aren't too many of us, so I think I could do that.

Yeah, that sounds cool. There are, what, 14 characters total, not including @Kole? Doesn't sound too bad.

Yeah. Though if it's hard to fit everyone in, I'll just include one or two characters from each person.

Ok. Also, will there be an RP tomorrow?

Probably not. It's my mum's birthday tomorrow, so I think I'll be too busy.

Alrighty, have fun tomorrow! :)

Sorry for my lack of activity in the chatroom recently, I still check in regularly, I just don't have anything to say. XD

Meh, it's the same for me. 'Tis a shame that we're the only two people that use it. I kinda wanted to plot something with @King, but they're never around.

Tbh, I should probably contact them myself before making accusations....

King isn't actually online much, so I think he might be busy. But he usually checks browser comments, so I'm sure you could go ask him to come to the chat if you want to discuss something.
I think the main reason nobody uses the chat much is because there isn't a lot to talk about, and if there is something, we usually discuss it during the RPs themselves.

Yeah, should we discuss it on the chat, or just have a conversation on our own posts? I contacted them, and I already recieved a response. Should I tell them to come here?

If possible, I'd rather you discussed your plans here. I don't want too much 'secret' plotting, unless it's something that won't heavily influence the overall RP. :)

(Replied in browser)

Also a quick heads-up that I'll probably continue to be quiet in the chat and on Colors in general. I'm going to be pretty busy over the next few days. Unless something else comes up, though, I'll still be able to host the RP on Saturday.

@Radiant Alrighty. @King has been notified and we will discuss everything here.

@King Here's what I had in mind: Right now, it's Jerry and Armin vs an army of inhuman baddies. Come the next morning, Jerry's going to summon the Brinks and ask a few favors. I'd like to know how one's supposed to summon them, and what the evil Brink generally asks for in return for favors. Also, I'd like to know how both Brink entities operate. Are they the two sides of the same spirit, or are they separate entities. Do they have limits as to what you can ask of them?

Oh, and the favors are as follows: The Brink that grants favors as long as it doesn't involve harming another will be asked to retrieve certain items from Jeremiah's wall safe and to listen in to Sargon's conversations with his generals.

The Brink that grants anything for a terrible price will be asked for an estimate: What would he want in return for unleashing The End upon Sargon and his forces.

Alrighty! I've been meaning to put how to summon them for a while--
So basically, the two Brinks are kinda like ying and yang, you can't have one without the other. The evil one makes all the bad stuff happen and the good one makes all the good stuff happen. The typical way to summon only one of them, you have to be committed to do anything to get what you want (bad) or be committed to do anything but harm someone (good), which is how Evil Brink gets most of his lackeys.
They also have a summoning circle, like most demons. Inside the circle there can be either one or both of their symbols (Evil Brink's being the weird triangle-y thing on Dispair's wings) to summon one or both of them. This is usually for more harder requests.
The good Brink would most likely accept his request if he promises that what he's doing is for the greater good
The evil Brink would either accept a large pile of bodies or the death of someone with great power matching that of Sargon (his minions don't really matter in the equation).

If you'd like, I could draw their circle with both their symbols for you? (Even though I should really do it anyways XD)

@King Cool. Yes, I'd like to see the symbols. Hmm, so good Brink will appear if one's committed to do anything but kill. Jeremiah kinda already shot some shifters....will that make a difference?

Probably not, it'll most likely overlook that fact and see it as a change of heart
Plus, if Jeremiah decides to take up Evil's offer to kill for The End, Good will be powerless to effect this.

@King I see. Can't wait for that conversation. XD
Good Brink: Now, you be good and murder no one.
Jeremiah:(Shifty eyes) Sure, Brink, wouldn't dream of it. {Proceeds to summon bad Brink after good Brink leaves.} Yo, Brink, I want to borrow The End to clear Shacklestone of hostiles, what's your rate like?
Brink: Just the low, low price of a thousand dead people. >:D
Jeremiah: 0-0 ...let me think about it....

In all seriousness though, I doubt Jerry would be willing to pay the price for The End, despite asking. This is going to be great! Anything else I ought to know about the Brinks and their followers?

Only Evil Brink has followers (like Keenan and the lad who tried to stab Morty) and a right-hand man (Mortikai), while Good Brink only has ties to the people it's had contact with in the past, and is more willing to help them out.

No, I can't see any of our characters agreeing to murder hundreds of people to wipe out Sargon's army... Well, maybe Crowley if you asked him. XD

There should be a session later today, hopefully we'll get some of these ideas into motion.

Yeah, Crowley's a little touched in the head. It would be funny though, if he summoned Brink, and instead of ordering him to kill as the price, he tells him to be nice to everyone he's ever been a jerk to. XD What would Crowley do?

@King So, good Brink has ties with specific people? Like who?

I don't really know in the Shacklestone universe, possibly Ango/Ango's mum? Maybe Emilia summons Good without the circle, wishing to do something about Ruscar but not anything harmful, and that's how he gets arrested? But since she got hurt before he got arrested, Good would be more inclined to help her than it usually would to anyone it's made deals with before.
I know for sure in my Sanctuary universe, the good Brink has ties to Dispair despite him being one of evil Brink's, which is probably because he sees why summoning an evil spirit to help you protect your sister from bullies in return for anything is a bad idea.

(Aggron) Crowley would not start being nice to everyone. He'd rather just watch Sargon destroy the world. XD

@Radiant Oh, I didn't mean for The End, I just meant if he wanted something from Brink in general, and that was the price. XD

@King So, good Brink was to blame for Emilia's misfortune? I guess he can't always help without someone getting hurt after all. That's interesting.

I guess it would depend on what he wanted Brink for. Maybe in extreme circumstances, he'd consider it. But I don't see him needing to summon Brink in the first place. He wouldn't have a reason to - there's nothing he wants that badly, and if there was, he'd prefer to try and get it himself.

Yup, sounds like Crowley. Why is he so murderous and hateful in the firstplace?

It's partly because of things from his backstory, but mostly he's just mentally unhinged. He does what he wants and doesn't let anyone stop him. And he murders because he thinks it's fun, and being a psychopath, he doesn't feel empathy towards those he kills. Everything's just one big game to him.

Ah, yes. He's one of those. That explains why he thinks he's the greatest person in the world.

Hey, @Radiant, I'm cooking up a fourth character to include in the RP, but before I start them, I was curious: Is it possible for humans to wield magic in this world?

Not normally, no. That would kinda destroy the whole idea of humans and magical creatures being separate beings, plus there are risks it would become OP.
Mortikai is the exception because he was granted his powers by Brink.
There are a few beings in the world which are basically humans with magical abilities (witches and wizards spring to mind), but they would not be classified as real humans.

Basically, if you have any kind of magical power, you can't be a human. X)

Ah, ok. Heads up tho: I intend to fill out my max of five characters, with one of these last two being a human and the other non. The order in which they appear, however, might seem weird to you if I don't explain: the human won't come into play until the next night cycle, while the nonhuman could potentially show up the next morning. So, just know that I'm adhereing to the rule about my next character being human, but the order in which they come into play will be off.

Alrighty. I'm interested to see what you come up with. I might add one more character myself too, in case I ever need a backup for anything.

I probably need to create more characters for the evil side, given that Sargon is, right now, the only non-NPC enemy character. XD

Now, hold on, Vitis is a bad dude, he's just unorganized. XD That still only makes two though, so go ahead.

Oh yeah, but I don't think he's a part of Sargon's army, is he? I was mostly talking about them. Crowley falls into the disorganised bad guy group as well. XD

I still need to decide on a character to use, so they probably won't appear next RP.

Yeah, you're right. Btw, I'll be introducing my next non-human character soon. There's something I wanted to run by you first though. This non-human is going to be a priestess of sorts. She will have powerful healing capabilities, but will be strictly noncombative as part of her occupation/(Religion?). Problem is, I don't know what diety she will be a priestess of. Given that it's your world, I have no idea what kinds of dieties exist there other than the Brinks. Got any ideas or advice of what to do?

That sounds pretty interesting! I can't wait to see her! I haven't thought about what gods or deities exist in Shacklestone's world, since as it was never something I expected to be important. You're welcome to create your own, or if you prefer, I can make some different deities for the world and maybe write a post with information on them.

Maybe you could research some and make your own deity based off them?

@Radiant and @King Alrighty, thanks for the input. I'll see what I can cook up on my own. @Radiant,Since you might have your hands full with the twentieth RP cover, I'll take care of this. Hopefully, she'll be complete by the end of the week. @King that's a really good idea. While I'm not sure that there's ever been a diety in our history that frowns upon all forms of violence, I'll put something together based upon what I can find.

I like the idea of basing the Shacklestone world deities on 'real' ones. And yeah, I might be a little busy with the cover. I just started the lineart and I'm already over the two hour mark. XD

(Every time I say 'Shacklestone world' it reminds me that I really ought to come up with a name for it.)

I'm sure you'll find a great name for it. I can't wait to see the special cover you're working on. So, who's shadow was that on the last RP?

A random nameless dragon I drew because I didn't know what to put on the cover. XD
Probably one of Sargon's dragonshifters.

Ok. I remember you mentioning you were going to introduce a baddie for Sargon's army. Any ideas of who you might use?

Not yet. I'm not in any rush in introduce them, and I haven't decided what character to use yet. I do have one or two ideas, though. They're likely going to be a dragon shapeshifter.

A dragon shifter, eh? So, we could see someone like Draorture or Cherry, or someone completely different? Cool. Looking forward to that. My next character is coming along well and should be finished by the end of the week. I've got to say, the worldbuilding for this character's backstory was fun.

Yep, it could be, though I'm also considering using a character I've never shown on here... ehh, I'll just have to see how things go.

I can't wait to see them. :)

Sounds awesome. My new character should be done on Friday, hopefully. Outlines are done, backstory fleshed out, I just need to color, texturize, blend, and add background. :)

Alrighty! This week I'll be finishing the cover, next week I'll be working on my next character ref.

Alright. Can't wait to see the cover page.

My new character is up. ; )

Re: Glad you like her. She'll come into play this next RP. I am curious how the other characters will react to her.

Keenan's gonna get owned by Crowley XD
Last night's RP was awesome though! I can't wait for next week's ;w;

I thought it was going to be Crowley getting owned by Keenan. He has lightning powers, while Crowley's just going to charge at him, screaming. XD

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it too. I should have my next character ready by next week. X)

About this character, she's going to be a dragon shifter with powerful magic, and she's on Sargon's side. I don't want to reveal too much about her yet, but @Aggron, you might notice she has a couple of similarities to Dianne. That's not intentional though - I actually created her before Shacklestone RP existed. XD

To be honest I'm kind of tempted to make a character who used to be part of Dark Brink's "gang" but betrayed him for Sargon
I probably won't though, I think I have enough characters XD

@Radiant - she sounds really cool! :3

(King) But I'd love to see another character from you! Only if you want to though, I don't want you to be overwhelmed controlling too many people at once. XD

@Radiant Ooooooh, I am intrigued. Similar to Dianne in what ways?
@King So, what's lion-boi's game plan for dealing with bird brain?

(Aggron) Basically that she's a dragon shifter with magical abilities, including a special power that has something to do with corpses.

@Radiant - I think I will once all my characters split up, which'll hopefully be in a couple session's time ;w;

@Aggron - He's probably gonna use mostly brute force, but he'll think about what he's doing at some point XD

@Radiant Interesting. If she's a necromancer too, I think her and Dianne are bound to fight. Hence the saying from just about every cowboy flick, "this town ain't big enough for the both of us." XD I'm looking forward to seeing this character and their special power.

Yeah, I think it'd be cool see them interact. And if they end up fighting, I think it might just destroy what's left of the city. XD

(King) If you do, I can't wait to see what you come up with. X)

@Radiant Well, that sounds like fun. >:D Before we jump to conclusions though, we've got to see exactly who this character is. I'll be looking forward to seeing them when they're done.

@King Ok, can't wait to see those two hash it out! :D

@Radiant So, Anastasia can summon spirits from corpses. That's pretty cool. Can these spirits be harmed by physical means, or will most attacks pass through them harmlessly?

Physical blows won't actually damage them, but may slow them down, and being repeatedly attacked will shorten their 'lifespan', causing them to disappear faster.

Also, if she's controlling a large number of ghosts at once, they'll disappear more quickly due to her not being able to focus on them all simultaneously. But if she's only controlling a few of them, she could probably keep them going for several minutes.

I really need to RP with her before I can work out all the details, though.

@Radiant Cool. I'm looking forward to seeing this character come into play. Since this character is able to summon spirits, does that mean she can see them too?

She can't actually see them until after they've been summoned from their corpses. But as she has an affinity for ghosts and spirits, she can sense their presence from a short distance away, both when they're encased in dead bodies and roaming around freely. That helps her to easily locate corpses that she can pull ghosts from.
(Also, if the bodies are extremely damaged or destroyed, she can't use her power on them at all.)

Wait, if she can sense ghosts and spirits, would she be able to sense the Brinks if they're close by? They're essentially spirits.
Just possible ways to create drama, if she and one of Dark Brink's lot or if the two every come in contact with her I guess XD

Heh, I guess Anastasia will be able to hear when Dianne argues with the spirits under her command. That'll be interesting.

Magnus: Dianne, Sargon's a monster! Ice that fool!
Dianne: No. It's not my fight.
Anastasia: What's this about "icing" my senpai, Sargon.
Magnus: ....Wut?
Dianne: She heard you, moron. -_-

(King) Yep, she would be able to sense their presence from a little way off. X)

(Aggron) Oh my god. XD Yeah, I'm pretty sure she'll be able to hear that. I'm so looking forward to seeing how those two interact if they ever meet up.

@Radiant Heheheh, yeah, it'll make for an interesting conversation. Or fistfight. Let's make sure they meet sometime.

Mmmmmmm, I regret to inform you that I will not be able to attend the next two RPs. If you guys want, however, you can feasibly finish the whole Ango/Crowley interaction, as that doesn't involve any of my characters. Not sure how you want to handle this.

Alright, no problem. We'll continue with the hospital scene and maybe try to finish it by the time you come back. I don't know what else we'll be able to do, but we'll see how it goes. X)

Thanks for understanding. :) Odds are that tomorrow, I might be back for the last hour or so, but next Saturday, I'll be gone for the entire thing, without a doubt. I'll be able to make it three saturdays from now.

That's fine! I might actually call off the RP on the Saturday after next, as I don't know how much we'll be able to do, and I don't want to move forwards too much without everybody there. So they'll be an RP tomorrow, a break after that, and then another RP the following week, if that works for everyone.

That would be great! Thanks! :D

No problem. :)

Mmmmm, so Armin wants to know about Dianne's daughter, the hoarse-voiced guy doesn't want to talk to Pythia anymore, and another non-human army is on its way to Shacklestone. To quote Bruce Banner from The Avengers, "Well, this all seems......terrible..." XD

Don't forget, there's the beautiful family reunion in the midst of all this XD

aLSO-
So who knows what Morty's connection to Emelia and Ango is? XD
To be freaking honest, I've insinuated it a looottttt-

Pfff. XD

I realised during last night's RP that I hadn't shown what Sargon was doing in forever, so I figured I'd write something for him. And yup, there's a very big army of non-humans flying to Shacklestone to kill everyone. XD

I'm coming to a point where I really need a name for the country, too, so I might assemble several name ideas and hold a vote to decide which one we'll use.

(King) The beautiful reunionsssss--

I think I know what Morty and Emelia's connection is, but I'm not 100% sure yet and I don't wanna sound stupid if I'm wrong. XD

@King I'm pretty sure Morty's Ango's daddy. That's what it really looks like.

@Radiant Well, shet, Jerry's gon' throw a fit when he sees all dem hostiles filing in to Shacklestone. XD Whelp, desperate times call for desperate measures. ;)

As for the names of the country, take some time to get them together, and we'll gladly vote.

(King/Aggron) Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, about Mortikai being Ango's dad. After rereading an old RP where Ango was talking about her parents, and then reading that story you posted about him, it seems to make sense. X)

(Aggron) Causing problems for Jerry is one of my goals. XD

Aa! We got it people! .w.
Yep, Morty is Ango's dad, but only Emelia (and Dark Brink, he knows practically everything that goes in his pawns' lives) really knows. Morty's pieced together that he and Emelia were married, but he's not sure how Ango fits into the equation. Ango wouldn't care (well she would, considering Ruscar was a thing that wasn't enjoyable) and would just go off with her dog bros. XD

Maybe Jerry would consider taking up Dark Brink's offer of a hundred freshly dead bodies after he sees the huge amount of non-humans rolling up XD

@Radiant Careful now, it's desperation that often turns good men cruel. ; )

Go nuts. XD

@King Maybe so, but I think Jerry might have one last plan to try. Plus, my fifth (human) character might just take Brink up on that offer. More on them later.

(Aggron) I plan to, especially once the other non-humans start showing up. XD

(King) Yay, we were right! So he doesn't actually know Ango is his daughter right now?

Also, I have a couple of names for the country in mind, but I need more before I can do a vote.

@Aggron Ooh, I'm excited now XD

@Radiant He has his suspicions, but he'd rather the thought that Emelia moved on from him and had a child with someone else.

I've made a post on this account with some name ideas.

@Radiant Well, sounds like you've got some fun plans. I've got some of my own. ;) I've been meaning to ask though, Sargon offered Dianne that if she stayed out of his way, he'd leave her alone as well. Why did he make this deal with her instead of trying to recruit her with his rhetoric, like I imagine he did with all his forces, and will he keep his word on this one?

(Aggron) Sargon will keep his promise to leave Dianne alone as long he doesn't catch her doing anything that might harm him. And the reason he didn't try to recruit her is because he thought she wouldn't accept anyway, and also because Dianne is powerful - if he accidentally annoyed her, she could have posed a threat to him and his forces.

Sargon cares about his race more than anything, that's why he's trying to take over the country so that the non-humans will have a safe place to live. He's generally unwilling to harm any non-human unless they oppose him in some way, either by attacking him directly or by trying to protect the humans.

Hol' up, so, what you're telling me is that Sargon /isn't/ a complete scumbag, and he really does just want for the nonhumans to have a better life? If so, that's one he.ll of a sympathetic villain, something that's not seen too often in stories and movies these days.

Well, he's definitely not a nice guy. XD But everything he's doing, he's doing for the good of his race. Or so he believes. I like villains who actually have a decent motivation for being evil.

So, all that, "I want to help my race" speech wasn't just bull to pull gullible soldiers onto his side? Then that means, plot twist, Jerry, with his wanting to kill Sargon and all who follow him, was actually the true villain the whole time! (insert dramatic reveal music here)

XD In all seriousness though, that makes Sargon a pretty good villain. #respect

(Don't click that tag. What's behind it has nothing to do with the conversation at hand.)

Haha, it's interesting to think about, isn't it? In a way, the humans are both the victims and the bad guys. Then again, it's not the humans' fault that their ancestors took over Shacklestone from the magical creatures hundreds of years ago.

On a side note, I'm almost definitely going to call their country Vallis.

Reply from the name vote post:
I actually plan to use at least one of the other names (Draconia) for another fantasy world of mine, so I'd prefer to stick with just one name for this world.

So...Sargon's a Chaotic Good character? He wants to do the right thing (protect his species) but is going about it in the "bad" way.
(At least I think that's what CG is, I'm never good with moral alignments XD)

@King It would seem that way, yeah. @Radiant Hmm, so we have a nonhuman (Sargon) who seems to have lost something dear to the humans. As a result, he is beyond hateful towards them, and seeks to help all inhumans who've suffered at the hands of humanity. But, his hatred clouds his mind, and he commits the same, if not worse, atrocities to the humans of ShackleStone, all in the name of justice.

(King) That sounds about right. I don't know much about them either, but Chaotic Good seems to suit him. He wants to do a good thing but has decided killing hundreds of people is an appropriate way to go about it. XD

It's quiet in here. :o

Yeah, I was gone all weekend. I'm back now.

Oh, hi! Are you gonna be able to make the next RP?

Yes, without a doubt.

Oh, I need to ask you. Can Vitis finally meet Crowley in this next RP, or does Crowley need to finish anything more with @King's characters?

I'm not sure exactly what'll happen, but I'll start to move him away from the hospital group next RP. Mortikai is still inside the hospital though, so I don't know if Crowley will just fly off and leave him there without saying anything. Depends whether he's in a more sociable mood or not, I guess.

Ok, I was just wondering. This next RP's bound to be interesting either way. : )

Hopefully, yeah. X)

Well, after Brink comes back with the items for Jerry, Dianne and he will have an interaction. After that one, want to have her and Deadwalker meet?

Sure. :) Anastasia usually stays by Sargon's side until he gives her an order, so I'll have him send her out for some reason. She can run into Dianne while carrying out whatever job she's been given.

But if they fight, let's not destroy the entire city. XD

Ok. XD To be honest, they probably won't have a reason to fight. If one does break out though, we'll just keep our characters in human form, so no buildings get knocked over. XD How's that?

They probably wouldn't. And yeah, that would work. XD Even if they DID fight, Ana wouldn't stick around for long. She'd be keen to finish her duties and get back to Sargon.

Yeah, judging by Anastasia's bio, I'd guess pleasing Sargon comes before minor disputes. I'm curious though, what if something prevented Ana from carrying out Sargon's order, like destruction of an objective, ect? How would she react to that?

I'd need that to actually happen before I could know for certain. She'd probably have to return to Sargon and explain the situation to him. All I know for sure is that he definitely wouldn't be happy if she failed to carry out an order from him. XD

Hmmm, so, she wouldn't be beyond livid at the missed opportunity to impress her senpai? XD Seriously though, it probably would depend on the importance of the task.

Oh, she'd be angry all right. But I think she'd be more concerned about how Sargon would take it, and whether the failed mission would cause any serious problems for him.

On a side note, he doesn't always send her on really important missions either. Sometimes it's something basic like scouting the area, or killing a particular person. XD

Hmmm, ok. Should any missions be failed, it'll be interesting to see. I wonder what her task will be when she meets Dianne.

Hmm, yeah, I need to think about that. It probably won't be one of her most important missions.

Also, once Crowley has left the hospital, can you have Vitis run into him? In his current condition, he's not really going to go exploring, so they might not bump into each other otherwise.

Actually, once Crowley finishes, I was going to say that Vitis had been watching his fight with Keenan the whole time to better facilitate their interaction. Will that do?

Yep, that's fine!

Alrighty! Then tomorrow, let the games begin!

Gee this sounds like the hunger games-
XD

@King Heheheh, well, this RP isn't so different from the Hunger Games. We've got children getting killed and evil old men with white hair, what more could one ask for?

XD

Haha, I've never even read The Hunger Games, so any similarity is coincidental. XD

Also, I now know what Anastasia's going to be up to around the time she bumps into Dianne. It may or may not involve Mortikai, so @King, let me know if you had any current plans with him that I might get in the way of. XD

@Radiant Oooooh, I can't wait to see Ana's task. If it has to do with Mortikai, it's bound to be interesting.

@Radiant Nope, not really! Keenan can stick around after his fight and direct the fam to the gates outside the city. Mortikai would probably go off to mull over his realizations, so he'd probably be easy to find.

@Radiant So, Sargon wants to meet Morty and learn about Brink. I wonder if he will make a deal with Brink.

Hmm, maybe. We'll have to see how it goes. Ana might not even be able to kidnap Morty. XD

@Radiant //If// she can kidnap him? Uh oh, is she suddenly going to contract Usless-henchmen-itis? XD

@Everyone Hey, come nightfall, I have an interaction planned for Dianne and my last character, but I realized I can't do it unless Dianne actually cares about someone, and right now, she kinda hates........everything......

Anybody wanna be friends with her? No pressure though, the original plan was to use Pythia, but I'd rather branch out from my own characters to make this RP feel that much more unified. If not though, I'll just use Pythia as planned. : P

Sfhjjkhfd I have no free characters-
I'm sorta planning on a new oc once we get the doggo fam out (they'll probably stay out for a while until they spook out to find Morty to discover who he is because Emelia won't say anything) so I could bring her in early?? Unless anyone else wants to, idk what Thorn's gonna be doing, following doggo fam or spooking off elsewhere

(King) Well, for all I know Morty could pull some magic trick out of the bag. XD

(Aggron) I'm out of free characters too, and most of my characters are already involved with yours, so I'm not sure how helpful I can be there. I can always enter a new character if I need to, but I already have six so I don't wanna do that unless it's an emergency. XD

I guess you'll have to work something out with someone else, or just use Pythia.

@Radiant
Well, he would be like "hey Brink get me outta here" but he has some questions that he needs answering, and he knows not to ask too much.
*leaves with ominous reply being ominous XD*

@Everyone Don't worry about it. I'll just stick with the original plan. It'll all work out, I guarantee it. ; )

(King) OooooOOooo *spooky ominous ghost noises*

(Aggron) Alright, go ahead. :)

@King I have decided that my last character will take Dark Brink's offer to unleash The End. What was the price again? I forgot...XD Also, once this character comes into play, the first thing they're going to do is summon Brink and make the deal right away. That cool with you?

@Aggron
Before I said was a lot of dead bodies, but he'd probably make the price to killing as many people he wants off this Earth as possible, so probably a fair share of both human and non-human bodies.
And yes! That's definitely okay. I'm really curious now .w.

If this is going to happen, I gotta ask a few questions. What exactly is The End again? I don't remember where in the RP it was originally explained. I need to know the specifics of it, and what it does.

It was a creature I made a while ago, and when it was brought up I just assumed that Aggron had been spooking around in Brink's tag, since that's what I tagged it with since I didn't see a reason to create it's own tag since it was a creature that Brink creates.
It's information is in #DTWbrink, and it can be toned down since I think it might be too overpowered for this roleplay. I'm sorry, I should've it explained before.

Hang on I think I bugged the tag out with a comma
#DTWbrink

Ooh, I remember it now, it's that creepy thing with the one glowing eye. XD So it's basically a powerful creature Brink creates to, I guess, kill people for him? Or carry out tasks that nobody else can do? That sounds alright to me. I'm still not sure how powerful it is, though. XD

@King Yes, I was spooking around in Brink's tag. I saw that the two were related, so that's why I brought it up. Also, I thought it would be cool if my characters explored Brink's services a bit.

(I'm pulling up notes and running with them here, so if it sounds stupid that's why XD
Ah god why do I never thing these things through--)
Basically, if anyone makes eye contact with The End, it can track them anywhere and kill them. If commanded to, it will force the victim(s) to look at it in some way or another. However, despite it's strengths, it cannot kill someone who can't make eye contact with it, due to having no eyes or being blind. Someone can make eye contact with it indirectly, such as using a mirror or looking through a camera, with some level of safety, however it can and will be able to track you but with less accuracy (e.g. if you're on the second floor of a house it will track you to the first floor or the second floot of a neighboring house).
Think of it like the Basilisk from Harry Potter, if you have direct eye contact you will die, but if you have indirect contact you will still suffer (by being petrified in the Basilisk's case, by dying at a later date in The End's case).

(King) This sounds really cool! I was thinking of the Basilisk before I even got to the end of your post. XD Is there any way to fight off, or destroy The End? Also, is there any way a victim who's looked into its eyes can stop it from tracking them (like maybe a spell that breaks the 'connection', or a way of concealing themselves)?

@King Is it a spirit? Theoretically, would a soul trapping spell be able to contain it?

Now that you say it, it should be a spirit in a "solid" form, since the Brinks are both spirits and Dark Brink likely summons it from it's own darkness (spooky). So yes, soul trapping. Other things that ethreal beings can be attracted to (think ghost hunters or something) like electromagnets or something, it can be distracted from it's main task if those are in the immediate vicinity. If it was surrounded by electromagnets or something, it might not be able to escape.
And in the olden days, the classic way to avoid capture would be to take your eyes out or alter them in some way.
(Maybe it remembers your exact pair of eyes because "eyes are the window to the soul" and all that so it tracks you by your eyes?? god that's slightly creepy-)

Alrighty. If you were to look at The End while wearing, for example, sunglasses, would it count as not making direct eye contact? I always wondered that about the Basilisk too. XD But then again, that might make it TOO easy to not get killed. Hmm... I don't know.

If they're the reflective sunglasses that you can't see through without staring really hard, I would say that it would have some difficulty finding you since it can't see your eyes properly, but if they're just regular sunglasses then it will have the regular difficulty like looking through mirrors and such.

Possibly.
idk
.w.

Well, we'll have time to figure everything out. XD
I'm really interested to see The End in the RP.

So, as long as we're talking about The End, let me tell y'all about the dude who will (eventually) be doing the summoning. :D

I haven't decided on his real name yet, but the other characters in the RP will come to know him as The Illusionist. He was a talented (human) magician who lost his family in Sargon's attack. He's not magical at all. He would create "illusions" and perform miraculous feats by use of enchanted items and formal training in slight of hand, among other things. He's gone mad from the loss of his family and has modified all of his old props into deadly tools and contraptions. Now, he seeks to unleash The End and claim revenge on everything, not just Sargon.

Oooo! He sounds like fun XD
Sounds like he'd be more than capable of fulfilling DB's requests too.
(I have to figure that out, but it'll likely contain a raid of the "human hostel" to find Betrayers to Dark Brink, who are those who follow another being (such as non-humans joining Sargon like my W.I.P character) or don't keep up with his requests and go back on their deal after gaining their powers.)

@King Hol' up, are you telling me that once The Illusionist takes Brink's deal, Brink will send him on missions? That's awesome! I can't wait for that!

He sounds pretty interesting! So he's a show magician who's desperate to take down Sargon to avenge his family, to the point where he'd be willing to summon a dark spirit to help him do it. I might know some other people (COUGHArminusCOUGH) who also lost their families to Sargon, maybe they'll meet someday.

@Radiant Yeah, they'll probably meet, but they might not get along. The Illusionist is consumed by hate. He might not be able to see past racial stigmas now that his family's dead. Basically, he hates all nonhumans now, regardless of their side. I remember you saying that you didn't want too many characters working towards the same goal, so this blind hatred is my way of balancing the motives of my characters. XD Yes, I'm evil.....

Oh yeah, his ref will be in a different format than my other ones. His information will be presented as if Jerry wrote a file on him a little while after he appears.

Haha, alright. I can certainly imagine him not getting along with anyone if that's the way he sees things. XD Armin likely wouldn't be that offended by him hating all non-humans, though. It's Sargon and his followers who'll want to kill him for that. And that sounds like a pretty cool way to do a ref, I can't wait to see it.

Heh, guess we'll just have to wait and see how he gets along with the other characters.

Guys I've just realised something amazing
Sargon and his forces were going through the prison to find non-humans, right?
There were probably human criminals in there too, right?
They would've been either left to starve to death or killed, right?
Tl;dr Ruscar is dead and Emilia and Ango are free from abusive idiot forever

Oh god. XD They probably got left in there to starve since as all the prison guards would have been killed in the attack. Unless you wanna make Ruscar escape somehow so he can find Emilia/Ango and cause drama. XD

Oh.
Oh-
oH-
maybe
I mean
Ango's gonna go back in a while after they escape to find Morty
So
Who knows
Maybe someone bit him
(God that would be terrifying)
Though I can imagine if that happened and Ruscar did try to attack Ango, Morty would swoop in and have a Molly Weasley moment XD
"nOT MY DAUGHTER YOU...BENCH"
XD
idk maybe if drama is needed at any point

Hmmmm, Ruscar's still alive, eh? @King didn't you mention something about the price for The End needing deaths from both species? Ruscar sounds like just the scumbag to use to fufill that part of the deal. >:D

yES
YES
Y E S
Dark Brink works in mysterious and probably plot-hole-y ways, so making Morty happy by taking something that makes his family sad/angry/scared away is a good thing
Yes
This is a good idea
y e s h

(Also considering if my last oc that I'll be putting into this will be on Brink's hitlist since she now follows Sargon instead
hmmg
maybe??
but I want to see The Illusionist at least succeed in killing someone (never thought I'd say that XD) so maybe DB will debate on her existence continuing, and if it can find a way to bring her back under his control then it'll let her live)

@King Alrighty then! That sounds like fun! In his down time, The Illusionst will be killing random NPCs out of rage and will likely have run-ins with just about every non-human character in this RP, including my own. If you want him to succeed in killing at least someone, I'm perfectly fine with that. Just have DB tell him the target, whether Ruscar or the other character, and it will be done in classic slasher-flick fasion. ;)

I love how much discussion there is of killing people in this chatroom. XD

In all seriousness, I like the sound of this. I can't wait to see The Illusionist when he shows up in the RP. Feel free to murder lots of nameless NPCs, I might control some of them myself to make things even more interesting. >:)

I'm also really interested to see what happens if or when he runs into our other non-human characters. Especially someone who's not evil, or is actively working to kill Sargon.

@Radiant Non-human characters that are not evil and don't work for Sargon include Mortikai, Keenan, Pythia, Dianne, Sheldon, Jed, ( @Draco-felis' green cat OC whose name escapes me suddenly), and Armin. Huh, I wonder how it would go if The Illusionist had a run in with Sheldon and Tochi. He would mostly go after Sheldon, because he's a werewolf, but how would he react to that, I wonder, being the neurotic and frightened kid he is? Btw, The Illusionist has a super scary mask on all the time. >:D

Sheldon would be horrified. XD He's spent most of his life worrying about things without reason, and ever since Count Sargon took over the city, he's actually had REAL things to be afraid of. So he's become even more cowardly as a result. A mask-wearing maniac who hates all non-humans trying to murder him because of something that wasn't his fault? That's not good news for him. XD

Hmm, there's more non-humans not on the evil side than I thought.

@Radiant Hey, sorry I was gone so long, I had to leave very abruptly. Is it alright if I finish the dialogue in the RP so we can just pick up next time with Jerry and Armin going to meet Dianne?

The dialogue between Jerry and Dianne, I mean.

Sure, go ahead!

@Radiant Thanks! Btw, Sheldon meeting The Illusionist sounds hilarious. XD We should do that at some point.

@Radiant Ok, the extra dialogue is done. Btw, I'm curious. Is Ivy going to stomp back inside and yell at Jerry, then proceed to go with him and Armin anyway? It's not like they can really force her to stay.

I just got around to reading the dialogue. Hmm, about Ivy... I was planning to have her follow them in secret, so they don't notice she's there until it's too late to send her back. She's definitely not one to listen to what other people tell her. XD

@Radiant That sounds like it'll be super funny, I'm totally cool with that. Ivy's never seen Dianne before. I wonder what Ivy's first impression of her will be.

As long as Ivy doesn't ruin their plans. XD
I'm not sure what her reaction will be. She's pretty unpredictable.

Heheh, ruin their plans? That might happen if Ivy barges in on Jerry and Dianne's conversation at the wrong moment.

Hmm, well, I can't rule out that happening. XD Maybe she'll barge in just as they're finishing the conversation.

Hmmm, she'd better be careful about what she says. Dianne might not be in a very forgiving mood at the end of that dialogue. ;)

Sounds like fun. >:)

Mmmm, fun indeed. >:D
Dianne:"Ivy has a pretty face. It'd be a shame is someone.....melted it off......XD"
For real tho, let's see how it all plays out. XD

Hmm, does anyone think we need a new chatroom sometime soon? This one's getting pretty big.

@Crowley Yes, please.

I'll see if I can get one up within the next week. I have a truckload of other stuff to draw though, so it can't be my top priority.

@Crowley That's fine. : )

@Radiant I've gotta ask, does Sargon have people who identify and watch potential threats to his plan and that's how he got that picture of Jerry and Armin?

He has certain members of his army who act as scouts and roam the city searching for anyone who might be working against him. If they find anything suspicious, they report back to him immediately. He was probably already having one of two of his subordinates looking for Armin, too, given that Armin betrayed him. That's why there was somebody following them who was able to take that picture.

They're not being followed constantly, though, and Sargon doesn't know where their hideout is. X)

@Radiant Ok, question 2: Is someone watching Dianne right now, who will find out that she supplied a human working against Sargon? And if so, will she get her picture put up on Sargon's"Wall of Threats" for this, or would Sargon let this one go this time? XD

Right now, nobody's watching her. I don't imagine Sargon would waste his minions on following people around unless they're proven threats. However, if he ever finds out another way that she was helping Jerry, he's not going to be happy. XD

@Radiant He wouldn't be happy, and I assume a massive monster fight would break out once he sends some lackeys after her. XD Mhm, but that's if he finds out. If he never does, I suppose he will forever think of her as "...A strange insect crawling up [his] arm"(Shacklestone RP).

I think that even if Sargon ever DOES find out Dianne was working against him, he'd be wary about doing anything to stop her. Sargon himself, a single vampire, is no match for a dragon shifter as old and powerful as Dianne. He'd have to send a lot of minions plus Anastasia after her if he really wanted her dead. XD

But yeah, if he never finds out, he's probably just going to ignore her. He knows a fight could end in disaster.

Hmmmm, just out of curiosity, what if Sargon wasn't the first to find out? For example, what if Anastasia were to find out first? Would she go on the attack immediately, or would she consult Sargon first?

She would go to Sargon straight away. She'd really want to attack the person threatening her senpai, but duty would come first and she'd consult him before she did anything.

The only time she would attack someone important without Sargon's approval was if she found them doing something that was an immediate threat to him, and there wasn't any time to tell him about it. Then she'd act without his knowledge to keep him safe, but he might not be too happy about it. XD

XD Hahaha! Sargon's title of senpai stuck!
Ok, immediate threats will be dealt with, not so immediate threats will be reported. Cool. At some point, Jerry'll be coming back into the city to do stuff. would he count as an immediate threat?

Hmm, well, I guess it would depend on whether anyone sees him and exactly what he's doing. Anastasia already knows Jerry's plotting against Sargon, so she might be on the lookout for him. She might even try to drag him off to see her boss if she happens to spot him in the city. He'll have to be careful if he doesn't want any trouble. X)

Oh dear, that wouldn't bode well for ol' Jerry. XD The last thing he'd want is to be taken to Sargon. If that happens, he'd resist with everything he had. I'm not sure if it'd be enough to repel Anastasia though.

Yeah, he's just going to have to be careful. Especially if he happens to notice a big blue dragon with a witch's hat flying around. XD
I'm curious about what he'd actually do though, if he got dragged in front of Sargon. I'm guessing he'd either try to talk his way out, or take the opportunity to try and kill him there and then.

Hmmm, well, the two would probably have a little chat, before Jerry makes an insane mad dash to try to kill Sargon and escape alive. XD Jerry would probably want to know why Sargon killed everyone.

That makes sense. Though I hope he'd realise that he's probably not gonna to be able to kill Sargon that way. XD

Also, I'm going to try and get a new chatroom up this weekend. This one's getting hard to navigate.

Of course he would, but in that situation, he'd figure that he's probably going to die anyway and just yolo it.

Yeah, that's true. XD

XD Yeah, Jerry isn't the most capable when it comes to combating large groups of Sargon's army. Most hunters take on singular non humans or small group vs small group. There'd only be so much he could do in the event of capture.

I wonder if there are other hunters in the city besides him? Maybe they all got killed during the attack.

Also, I have a little question for everyone: how would you like it if the RP (in the future) expanded beyond Shacklestone City and into other parts of Vallis? I don't know how it would happen, but it might be cool for some of our characters to explore other areas.

@Radiant I don't know. Maybe. Of all the humans, they'd definitely last the longest. If any came to ShackleStone to hunt for the young girl's murderer, they might still be alive. After all, Jerry managed to make it out. I suppose it could become a plot point, like them joining Jerry and Armin to even out the odds a bit. I could even bring on Jerry's parents as NPCs.
Hmm, that sounds interesting. I like the thought of other places coming into play. What did you have in mind?

Yeah, that might work. All NPCs can be killed by anyone though, just keep that in mind if you bring any hunters in.

I don't have anything specific in mind yet; I haven't even drawn out the full map of Vallis. But if the RP started to go in that direction, I'd think about what kinds of places the characters could end up in.

Quick heads-up, the RP might be posted a little late tomorrow. Family stuff. It might not go on for too long either, my eyes are killing me. XD

@Radiant Of course. That's the way it's always been.
What's wrong with your eyes?

Eh, probably eye strain. I do stay up until past midnight every night staring at the bright screen of my DS. So I'm trying to cut back on that. XD

Also, I may as well mention that there probably won't be an RP the Saturday after next. It's my birthday on the 28th, so I could end up being busy around that time.

@Radiant That's fine. I wouldn't be able to make it to the one on the 30th anyway.

I meant the one on the 23rd would probably be cancelled. In that case, I might just cancel both the 23rd and the 3Oth, and start again in October.

Oh. I thought because your birthday was two days away from the 30th, that you'd do something then. :/ Eh, two,weeks off would be fine, given my homework load. Do keep us posted on what will happen.

Hmm, I might be able to do the one on the 23rd after all. I'll have to see whether I've got anything going on that day.

Alright. Also, before we cancel the one on the 30th, let me see if I can't figure out a way to get online.

I can't promise the 30th one will go ahead even if you are able to attend. If we end up doing next week's, I'll probably cancel the last RP of the month.

Alrighty, let us know.

OK, heads up. The next two sessions are going to be cancelled, I don't think I'll be able to host them. As long as nothing comes up, RPs will resume in October. X)

@Radiant Ok.

Ooh, did I hear that the Illusionist's ref is already done?

@Radiant Yes. However, I don't plan on posting it until right before he comes into play next night cycle, which might be a while, given that the current time in the RP is something like 1pm.

Yeah, I saw that. I'm looking forward to seeing him though, whenever he appears. X)

Alrighty! Yeah, I can't wait to play him. It's going to be great.

---A new chatroom is up! Please go there if you want to talk about anything, as I won't be checking this one anymore.---
