Journey to the North (OOC)

[TheIrishOtaku]

Hey everyone just wanted to say I will be responding to the rp later in order to move the campaign along! I would do it now but unfortunately I had to get up very early for a doctors appointment so I don't have much time at the moment and I didn't get much sleep last night! Due to that I'm not in the best writing headspace right now but I will post before days end!

 

[Kalnath]

Sometimes I like to imagine how my responses would differ if I'd been writing Ketri instead of Alec. Not that I want to change characters or anything, this is just for fun:

Spoiler: Meanwhile, in Another Universe:

Ketri’s ears twitched, and her eyes narrowed in the direction of the disturbance. Someone was sneaking around out there, and even worse: they were doing a terrible job of it. The ineptitude was almost embarrassing.

She brought her mount to a halt and attempted to pass off the reins to someone else. If Ketri could barely ride a horse, then she sure as all seven hells wasn’t going to fight on one. Inexpertly, the girl dropped (or rather, fell) from the saddle, stumbling as she hit the ground. Then, with an irritated huff, Ketri snatched up her axe and turned to subject the side of the road with the full intensity of her glare.

“HEY!” she barked as only a fox could, tail swishing in agitation. “ASSHOLE! YOU WANNA GO? COME OUT HERE!”

It sounds like they would've gotten along swimmingly XD

I'll be replying tomorrow everyone! Just moved into my new place yesterday, still unpacking. So much damn work x.x

 

[Kalnath]

Family emergency, health issues, and a move? What kind of crazy week have you had there!?

If I'm not busy, I'm sick, and if I'm not sick, I'm busy. Life over here has

Not been ideal. To be honest. But I hope next year will be less all over the place. Umbra has seen better days.

Sounds like you've certainly had a time of it, here's hoping things go better from here on out for you.

 

[OmegaUmbra]

Thank you! I'll also be posting more often too, now that I'm semi-settled in!

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American players!

 

[Kalnath]

And happy Thursday to everyone else

 

[Kalnath]

So… what’s the protocol going to be if no one posts anything for three days? Move on to the next scene?

I feel like we should never wait too long because that's how these threads die out.

 

[Autobass]

Uh... don't think we really have a protocol for it, beyond a "please say if you can't post for a while." (Also it's been 3 days already!? Thought it had been 1-2 at the most)

 

[starelementpoke]

I kinda thought we were just chilling for a bit because of Thanksgiving. Have a post ready in my head I can shoot up a bit later if we're saying let's roll?

 

[Kalnath]

(Also it's been 3 days already!? Thought it had been 1-2 at the most)

It hasn't, but I figured I would say something before we quite got to that point.

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

I was waiting for everybody else to post after Kalnath one last time before we move on, since Meralda asked a question but I can move us along to the next scene if nobody has anything else they need or want to ask of her.

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

Also I'm currently talking with Omega Umbra, she will reply later today she's just been very busy with irl stuff lately

 

[starelementpoke]

How do we wanna handle the watches? Implication is sort of 2:2 for Chars so doesn't make sense for the others who are theoretically asleep to jump in. Do we wanna make separate threads for each or like sort out dms somehow and keep you up to date in them so you can moderate in a sense @TheIrishOtaku

 

[Kalnath]

No need to make things complicated.

Assuming we don't just skip to the next morning, it can really be as simple as the sleeping characters not posting unless they are woken up.

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

Yeah as Kalnath said, no need to complicate things. I'm not gonna go into detail on them, was gonna make my next post moving the campaign along actually. I was just giving people time to post more if they felt like doing so before I did.

 

[OmegaUmbra]

I'll be replying tomorrow! Been busy as hell today, but I promise I'm still partially alive

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

OmegaUmbra wanted me to let you all know that she's feeling a bit too sick to reply today! Being so ill with a cold hasn't put her in a big writing mood lately!

 

[OmegaUmbra]

Sorry if my reply is a little rusty. Not feeling great, plus typing on my phone absolutely blows. Autocorrect on Andriod is the bane of my existence I tell you.

 

[starelementpoke]

Also apologies for my lack of responses the past day or so. Keep just falling asleep the second I get back from work. Will post before I got o bed tonight

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

No worries we totally understand! Thank you for the heads up!

 

[starelementpoke]

Made the mistake of telling myself I would do the post in bed only to fall asleep midway typing it Xl. Just made it

 

[OmegaUmbra]

I'm not inactive by the way; I wanted to note this here since it's been three days. Just giving Z'ar a chance to converse with Sir Alec before Odrosa and Orestina head back!

 

[Kalnath]

My feeling is that you should always try to post something, because it's better than letting the thread stall. You don't necessarily have to write your characters heading back immediately.

Stina & Rosa could discuss their first impressions of the hostesses, or baselessly speculate on the nature of Jodie & Clara's relationship. That keeps the flow of the scene going and offers insight into each of their characters while still giving Z'ar and Alec time for their own conversation.

 

[OmegaUmbra]

Alright, that's a good idea! I didn't think about it like that, I'll type something up in a sec!

 

[starelementpoke]

The fortune of pbp is that we can use replies to have multiple events going on at once

 

[starelementpoke]

Also as an aside I'm starting to suspect every lady we run into is going to have a back bending pair of tits XD
