It's going great, we are hopefully almost done to where I can post independently of the collab after it drops.

Awesome! I can't wait to read it!

Posted. There's a lot of very, very interesting politics, and approaches. Agendas that are different, and who knows what it will boil to.

Also, I have intended for that section with Lyman, and it's been pre-agreed. I thought to myself that as it stands, there's enough shit going on, so I will assume you can all guess what happened next after Lyman replied to Willas, leads to that little moment by the throne itself. There's enough dead people in there to have blood up to your ankle, and it sets the scene nicer to get it to that in-medias res moment.

So, anyone posting? Everyone (apart from Big, who has even mentioned to me that he has fun things for Tyget planned) should be kinda involved in what is going down now, from Baratheons to Crakehalls, Targaryens to Stantons.

Me and Abe are doing a collab atm and then I am gonna solo post for Tyget. How many posts will the KL battle last do you thinnk? Like I mean until GGerald can letter to Tyget?

apart from Big, who has even mentioned to me that he has fun things for Tyget planned)

This is an understatement. I have things planned for him, and the entire Iron Islands.

I've been waiting. I've been watching.

Can't do a thing about King's Landing and the things that are going on over there. As much as I'd like too. Take far far too long to get there. Even if my characters knew what was happening.

... huh... I am now sufficiently spooked...

Speaking of shit going down, Dorne hasn't been that loud of late, nor has the Riverlands, The Vale or the North. I'd imagine that with Edlrick Dayne in King's Landing, he'd be forced to take a side, as would the others that were there.

I know. Apoalo was supposed to do a collab with me something like a few months ago, yet it's still unfinished now.

Hi! Collab is underway and hopefully going to be completed before days end.

Agentmanatee disappeared. NO!

Damn, oh well. I am looking forward to it....you two doing a collab? Well, whatever the interaction, I wish to see it :)

You will see it soon comrade.

Agentmanatee, you there?

Wow, that's actually depressing as fuck. Garland kinda just got ditched :(

In which case, I actually can't imagine them staying in the capital for much longer, and thinking it over, I reckon once Garland hears/sees of what she's done, he might even start thinking things over on Aerys himself, thinking of Baela at least, though whether Alerie will follow suit, who knows.

It's kinda shitty, I mean, I really don't know what to actually make of it, I am tempted to play the "Ditch everything" option as well, but it wouldn't be fun to do, it would be sheer pragmatism. Bit depressing to me, actually.

EDIT: I thought it over a bit, and I'm likely to be going through a nervous breakdown if I keep thinking about it any longer. There's so many unknowns, I am really stumped on what the fuck to even do in IC (my last post is the worst example of it, and I am still not content with what Garland said, though I'm happier with what it was than before), and while I've got a couple of options that aren't completely nihilistic/sadistic to play out, it still feels like it isn't the right thing to do at all any way I play it forward. Part of me wants to throw Garland/Alerie back into Highgarden and fucking end my participation there (feasible, too), with the events that occurred as a "story that happened" is how I feel right now....as you can see, I might need a little time to consider what the fuck to make of all of it. Of late, I'm not enjoying it as much as I think I did because I'm so paranoid and worried, and added to existing commitments in RL with academic work, as well as on the Guild in running an RP and numerous 1x1s, it has probably finally cracked my head in just the scale of how difficult it is to keep going with these really, really complicated character developments and interactions that I simply cannot track (ie. Lorch was Tywin, before I realized where he actually was)- so I might need a little time to pull back. I love this RP, and the shit that goes on within it- it's just, I can't enjoy something that makes me as worried as this does, and if it means I need time to think over what the hell I can actually do, then so be it. I just might not be capable of writing a set of characters as remarkable as Garland, Alerie, Willas, and I've spent six years on the guild writing, from the intrigue to the complexities of politics and intrigue...so that level of caring for what I've created, that I simply cannot sustain to what it deserves to be is something I'm worried is escaping me. I want to carry on with this as usual, but if it's causing me serious worry, even just as an RP, I might need to just think for a little while on what exactly to do.

EDIT EDIT:
Panic attack over. I think I've chatted to a couple people, and gotten my head straight. I think I'm alright now, and though there's some huge, HUGE decisions to be made on what happens next, I think what might happen will be something that will show a great deal of development in Garland in particular. I will be unlikely to do a collab for my next post when it comes.

Still here by the way, just busy in real life.

@kingkonradWow... so eh... your ok right?

@agentmanatee

I think I've got a better state of mind now, I think I just wasn't sure of myself at all, quite worried and panicky about what I would have to do, and the consequences. I've kinda thought it over, spoke to some people, and I think I might have a better idea and understanding the situation from other people's eyes, and using that to at least better understand what I would have Garland think in that moment. I think that was why I was a little sketchy on my last post- it didn't feel right, not until after it was edited.

I've written for six years, and I cannot remember the last time this happened to me at all, so yeah. I should be fine, I think :)

@kingkonrad

You'll be fine brother. You know what to do.

Do you my boy do you.
