finally posted.
ending with Akiko deciding to follow Zeke.

The group'll have to probably find Brooklyn. She's too lazy to move from her tree.

Well, I'll get started on my post in about an hour or so. Glad to see another person joining in, in the IC :)

@MelodyNoir And I'll do mine as soon as I get back home, so we can wrap up most of the meetings and finish my conversation with Emilie.

@Crimmy Don't worry if no one does it first I'll "find" Brook under her cozy tree as soon as our group resumes walking.

I think I might wait for Onarax to post so they don't get left out and they still need to respond to what happened.

Yeah sorry, I should have a post up within an hour.

@Onarax No need to apologize :) An hour should be fine, I have time to wait tonight so I should manage to write up a post before heading off to bed. Silly time zones~

@MelodyNoir

Alright finally got it up.

And~ It's day 3 of the roleplay and we're on 20 posts!
Not too speedy, but good enough progress I think. I know a few of you want to post more frequently (according to at least one PM), but for the time being I think this is a good pace to be moving at post wise. Plot wise... I guess we could speed it up a bit.

To commemorate post 20.... too soon? Okay. Umm to celebrate 3 days of... eh?.... Fine
Because I'm an ass, I'm going to be offering up feedback on characters as I'd rather address any issues and concerns sooner rather than later. I've been PM'ed by a few (Okay, just three people) regarding things over the past days, and I figured I should speak out as GM. Please note that this is not a good/bad player thing, but just a public announcement. I was originally going to PM the first three, but figured it'd be equally rude to praise a few and pretend others didn't exist. Plus, posting publicly means that others can express disagreement for a more accurate feel.

@Crimmy/Brooklyn
Not entirely sure what to do with Brook at the moment, though I should probably caution you that Brook staying up alone in a tree is likely going to get her killed, or have a near-death experience. Not all characters need to meet up with the 'main group' (that's developed) before getting to the school, but simply staying put and hoping for the best sounds silly and uncharacteristic of someone who's got the trait of 'cognitive.' Just as a random note I encourage initiave roleplaying, not reactive where possible. Can't really say much about Brooke at the moment since there's really been very little activity outside monologue'ing xD

@Onarax/Brock
Hmm, going to state that I've got rather mixed feelings about thew hole first-person typing. It's not bad in any way, but it's a bit confusing and awkward since I'm not used to first-person. Normally I'd just suck it up and stay quiet, but I have received an anonymous message that mentioned to me they're also discomforted by the first-person roleplaying. The character itself though I think has pretty good potential, and personally I think third person would look better, but that's just me.

Regardless of whether you decide to change or not, I'm going to have to say that adding your characters name at the top of your post will be mandatory if you intend to post first post, like so;


@Asuna Yuuki/Mia
No, that's not MIA(Missing in action) but the name of their character. xD

Remember how I said I wasn't going to nitpick at people who I felt weren't posting enough? Well, I lied! xD At least I lied regarding the current phase of the roleplay. Seeing as how there's been no IC or OoC posts from this character I'll be contacting their player today. (I mentioned how I was paranoid about people posting a CS and never following up). They haven't logged in since posting their character, and I had to remind them to do that as well... so I'm guessing they've either lost interest, or are really busy. I'm going to use this opportunity to remind people to try mentioning something in the OoC like NomNom did. It really helps and I think it's the basics of group communication/cohesion.

Others
Personally I'm liking most of the characters. @Karamonnom/Emilie and @KoL/Kotori in particular because of their 'set' personality showing through really clearly. At first I was feeling a bit conflicted, but Emilie's "I have no idea where I am, but... can I touch your hair?" approach is silly, but really emphasizes her personality. Likewise Kotori's speaking in riddles felt odd at first, but I think the whole 'mysterious introvert' thing would be pretty interesting in the long run. Hoping to add @TrixyTrix/Akiko to this list, but it's a bit hard to call at this stage.

@Bleu Chess/Aleric had a really interesting start, and I like the way he responded to Zeke, so I'm hoping for his character to continue shining the way it is. @MelodyNoir/Ian likewise seems to be the center of the 'main group' so far (though it might have something to do with the way he greets/introduces everyone). Glad I appointed a Co-GM that seems to be keeping things together xD

@Rakurai I'll get my IC post up in no more than a couple hours, probably. But first I have to do one for another roleplay I'm in were I'm making everyone wait for my turn so I may potentially delay until tomorrow morning, hopefully not.

Anyway, I'll use this opportunity to comment on @Rakurai's comments. XD

First, I have to say that I'm glad that you liked the way Kotori is for now, 'cause it's really difficult to come with some of those answers, even though it's also fun. Having people acknowledge my effort is good.

About @KaramonnomEmilie and @MelodyNoirIan, actually I really like to hang around those characters, their personalities being so different from Kotori's makes for fun RP opportunities, specially Emilie and her simpleminded nature are a good contrast to Kotori's enigmatic persona. Though, as soon as we arrive at a safe spot I'll put Kotori's isolationist tendencies at play.

@Onarax Brock, while I don't have any specific problem with 1st person narrative, I can see why others would get confused. Either way, yours is actually a good example of the practice, but just like Rakurai said, stating that you are writing from Brock's POV would probably help clear things out. Other than that, your character seems really neat so I want to see how deep he can be.

Last but not least,@CrimmyBrook I really want to get around that character even if just a little, 'cause Kotori is a loner. I really liked Brook's persona, but that's all I can say for now 'cause she's such a lazy bun that had done barely nothing more than sit and wait.

Edit: Corrected the bunch of mistakes on the text that I didn't saw at first, damn phone...

First person is pretty great when you want to really go tight on the character's perspective. You're limited to writing what the character can feasibly see, and even that can be limited by the personality. Really explores it man.

@Crimmy Actually, my character is wearing a pajama, not a school uniform.

Whoops, sorry. I'll edit that.

Ugh, things are quite slow this Sunday., not even a single new post. Not that I can do much, since I work almost the whole day on most Sundays.

Anyway, I guess I'll sneak an IC post during my break.

I'm finally home and alive :D Yay! I'll work on my post.. but I'm so behind on so many of my rps x__x ahhh... shoot me.

Actually, I'll wait for Melody--Cake

Hmmm, Nommnoms, if you are waiting for me, then it has to be a bit longer. Got class today and my own class to teach later today xD I should be back in about 7 hours-ish.

Oh, I just wanted to say that I'll wait for Emilie's turn before doing my next post, since I already finished fetching Brook.

@KoL
Go ahead :D

@karamonnom Thank you, kind lady. I'll do so as soon as possible. Luckily we can go all to the school after a last round of posts.

Haha, I'm not entirely sure about that! *Evil laughter*

Well, the reason that's not happening is actually neither dramatic nor interesting...
Posting has been really slow over the weekend, and hasn't really recovered today either.
I'm actually considering doing a quick head count again for this roleplay to see how many people have survived past this preliminary 'gathering' phase I hadn't anticipated, personally I'd imagined most people just stumbling across the school and meeting there xD

But that's okay, no real harm done.
Due to prolonged inactivity from Mia/Asuna Yuuki their character has now been officially removed from this roleplay (Which I think is fair). I've seen KoL/Melody/Nom/Crimmy around so I'm going to count those four as still present.
Getting a heads up from @Onarax, @TrixyTrix, & @Bleu Chess would be nice too.

After looking things over, I'm afraid the roleplay didn't start off as well as it could have. Apparently I'm a lot rustier than I thought I was. I'll be altering a few 'technical things' on my end shortly as I believe it's inevitable to keep this RP going. But before I do, I really do need to know who's no longer interested in sticking around. (AKA If things are too hard on you (RL) or this roleplay has failed to hold your interest now would be a good time to opt out) Not saying I want anyone gone, but just providing the option at this stage.
