Let it be known that Saga is not afraid to choke a bitch out. xD

Another good round in the books, you guys are doing fantastically. Well then, I'll let you guys know how we're moving forward then. My post will come after work tomorrow evening most likely so you'll definitely have time to think on what I'm about to say.

My next post will move us into the palace and into the meat of the mission. However, this next scene is not really about the intel at all. This next scene is the first chance purposeful chance you'll have at early character development and some good conversation. The characters will split up into pairs and explore different parts of the Palace searching for any intel on conspiracies against Algareth, but they'll be able to converse due to a method you'll see in my IC post. This will allow you to dig into your character through dialogue and such with your partner. The nature of your conversations will be completely up to the pairs; you have some creative freedom in this regard.

The pairs will be as follows:

Nero + Dianthe
Gideon + Blair
Mirany + Saga

Keep in mind, this is the just the first time for this type of scene. There will be more opportunities to pair up with different characters as the story progresses.

Once my post is up, it should have all the necessary info you need to proceed with your partner. The reason I'm telling you all this early is so you'll be able to think about what kind of interaction you want to have before it's actually time for you to write and maybe coordinate with your fellow players too. This is also a good scene to do a collaborative post if that's what you feel you want to do (you don't have to employ this method). If you have any questions about this, you know I'm here.

Edited my post so Dianthe took out the one of the two guards near the door, while Saga took out the one to the right.

Sorry about the delay, I fell asleep last night while writing lol. I don't know if that's happened to me before. I should probably sleep at proper times. In any case, my post will be up in a few.

And my post is up!

So as I outlined previously, we're now split into pairs and this scene is more about conversation than the actual finding of any intel so don't worry about posting that your characters have found some piece of evidence or what not - they won't find anything as this is where the story kicks into high gear. That's also another reason for this personal time between your characters because after this, events will ramp up a bit character development will take a backseat for a short while.

I left the Palace interior vaguely described on purpose so you guys could contribute your own imaginative creativity. You can describe the interior of the Palace (except for the fact that the main lobby is circular) in any way you please. You can also choose where you and your partner would like to search and considering how big the place, any kind of room or area you can think of should exist within the Palace. I gave you the excuses for being able to converse and how to find your way around within my post so the rest will be up to you guys. I look forward to reading to your posts and, as always, if you have any questions just shoot them here and we'll see what we can do!

Lol, it was so random. I was writing and then I found myself waking up at 2am @__@. I was like "Wtf?! WTF?!" hahaha. I went back to sleep and once I woke up for real I finished it off. It's my first of two days off so it's not so bad.

Geez, you sound like me staying up late as crap.

My sleep schedule is pretty shitty xD usually wake up between 8-9am during the week then go to sleep around 3am.
Next week I start my new job, so I'll be waking up at 6am. Gonna suuck.

Dang, I could never ^
At a certain point in the night my body is just like "Hey, we're just gonna shut off now" and whether I want it to or not I just knock out hahaha. Good luck with that though! I'll be feeling your pain over the summer, ugh.

You sound like me too haha. Wake up at damn 8 or 9 in the morning and don't go to sleep until 2 or 3 am just cause.

@corneredbliss
I think my work schedule is like... 7am to 5:30pm Tuesday through Friday, so I get 3 days off but I work 10 hour days. xD It should be an interesting job though since I'll be mapping out a cemetery or two. Spending all Summer in the graveyards!

WHAT? WHAT IN THE NAME OF FLAMING HOT CHEETOS? LOL, that's crazy! I mean, I'm sure it's not crazy for you, but I guess I've just never known anyone to spend 10 hour days in a cemetary... I personally get weirded out at graveyards, so more power to you! That's amazing hahaha.

And me and Redrum's collab has been posted! The ending you guys see leads into the next bit of the story and it will involve all player characters, but don't worry about it for now. Write and post as you would :).

@Samara I think our duo should go to the spooky scary basement xD

@Viciousmarrow I vehemently agree :) would you like to collab? I've never done one before, but I'm eager to try it!

Messaged @FantasyChic about a collab post. I thought we might take the kitchens/servant's quarters.

And I answered said message

Makes sense too since both Blair and Gideon dislike authority so seeing the higher ups servant quarters would make for some good RP dialogue

Heh, now I'm looking forward to the other collabs. Seems like you guys have chosen some interesting locations.
