You know what they say about time and fun and flying.

The fun of flight is directly proportional to how much time you have left before you hit the ground. Or something.

Luck was not with me! It turns out.

Post is, alas, not to be finished tonight. I'd give a new ETA, but the way my track record is already, I think that would be irresponsible! Suffice to say that I'm working on it, and hopefully, it will be complete soon. In the mean time, I would like to see Steel Shadow and Dracorion over IM, if they have time, since I have a few questions for them both! It relates to my latest update.

Nothing vital! I'd just like a little more information on your character's actions, so I can incorporate them into my next post.

Well, I can wait if need to be. Don't want to come back and interrupt the flow of things.

Teal Mage · 08-21-2011, 07:08 PM

As the GM, I'm pretty sure that I can find a way to work you in. In fact, I already have a few thoughts! One of which I love, by the way. However, the further this particular scene goes, the harder it'll be to find a way to bring Dean back in, from an in-game perspective. The spooooky Ghost of Landry teleported her precious students to the Tower last turn!

Unless they were already really close to the top, in the cases of Dal, Jay, Astarte, Kohana and Jack.

The main reason I'd like to see you on MSN is because, as I recall, before you left you had a variety of concerns about how I was running the game. Particularly during the duel with Hannah et all. While I don't discourage criticism, it struck me that you seemed very frustrated and, in general, it seemed like you simply weren't enjoying how things were going. Chances are, these things haven't changed. Before I let you rejoin, I think we really should have a chat about those things - if only to make sure you know what you're getting into.

So, if you'd get on MSN before I get this post done, that'id be great?

krogothwolf · 08-21-2011, 07:48 PM

Well, I keep going on randomly but you're never around :p

Krylo · 08-21-2011, 07:48 PM

Try in about 15 minutes, Krogs.

Teal Mage · 08-25-2011, 04:04 AM

Alright, unless I am spectacularly tired, terribly writer's blocked, sick or something else unexpected comes up and I'm just too busy, I should be able to complete the next update's final scene (just a handful of descriptive paragraphs left) tomorrow evening. After which, I need to proof-read it, then it will be posted for your viewing pleasures later that night! Or really, really, early the following morning. Map will follow, possibly edited into this post, in the likely event that no one else posts in the OoC before then.

Still waiting for Krogoth to be around and available to chat, if he can catch me tomorrow, I'll toss in a scene that'll give him a wonderful entrance! If not, he'll have to wait a while longer.

Also: If I say I'm taking a shower, expect me to be much longer than 15 minutes.

That was, like, 15-20 minutes after you left.

Speaking of rampant water abuse by our favorite GM, I forgot to uh, post my idea for my leveled skill.

For like two weeks. Uhm. Yeah.

Anyway, formerly Meltwater:

Pegaea

Element: White, Yellow
Level: 2
Effect: A gift of her race, Sao is able to shift at will from her human guise to a form of liquid water. While still young by the standards of other naiads, Sao is learning control over her dual nature.

As she has refined her technique, she is now able to be more selective about which limbs undergo their watery transformation. More skill has also allowed her to re-form her limbs into their human shapes more quickly.

This ability should still not be used around temperature extremes, as her liquid state is not immune to freezing or evaporation.

Curses, my expectations have been dashed! Why would you betray me like this Riin!? Krylo I understand. But you? I-I f-feel so-so hurt!

Yeah, as you can see, there's no post and (according to my clock) its also 6:30 am. Faaaar too late to proof read, and I'm also tired. Will try to post tomorrow. Oh, if you need to blame someone for the delay, blame Steel, because he's the one who distracted me with a free trial of a new MMO. I will, of course, resist playing more until the post is up!

Incidentially, Riin's post (approved) reminded me that I still haven't heard from Bard on the matter of his new skill! So Bard, what'll it be? Hmmm? Hmmm!?
