Incidentally, for your general consumption,

If any of you would like, due to the disturbance of the Contextual Reality it is now possible to create alternate branches by narrating interrupts.

You may have noticed that the police knights in the last post were rambling on a little - long enough for some of you to have acted in the interim. If anybody hereCOUGHDONNYCOUGHwere inclined to have acted in a fashion that might have precluded them from acting/speaking as they did in the post, feel free to proceed with that train of thought.

At your own risk, naturally.

So, I'm going to be without my computer for three days because of family things. If I'm tagged in a couple of hours, I'm going to need to manage some considerable acrobatics in order to get a post out. Like, write it all on my mobile phone. ... Terrible thought. Hah.

Oh, damn, what an error I just realized I made. ... ... ... Oh, well. I'm writing this at three AM. Desperate times calls for desperate circumstances...

Um.
Donny.
She did manifest a redirection orb at me. So he wouldn't give her a head start.

Notably, the design of the newcomers' armor was a class apart from that of the errant crossbowman. It appeared to be lighter, with smaller plates, more scaling, and less overall coverage across the body - which was still entirely enshrouded in chainmail nonetheless. Most notably though, rather than possessing traditional visored slits their helmets were wholly translucent lids rendered from some plastic material that wholly exposing their faces.

Oh, it has been noted. Rest assured. :E

As long as we're mentioning things like that: The Police Knights are not wearing visored helmets.

<Snipped quote by Terminal>
Decisions, decisions. So much to work with.

...oh.

Bugger.

Well, arrows punch through plastic better than through steel, and they punch through normal steel plate armor just fine.

-Every participant in the roleplay will have a limited number of lives. Every time a character dies within an Iteration, their poster loses a life.

...Doc Doctor, you killed me.
And yet, I am still alive.
Note to self: Arrange your death in some manner.
It will totally be a mistake. :p

(JK...probably...)

<Snipped quote by Cruallassar>

As long as we are pointing fingers: While Doc did establish the branch that killed you due to establishing a context where Amelie did not raise a redirection orb, you had and failed to grasp the opportunity to save Kael's life by only responding with the Kael in the branch where she did react. If you had replied for both Kaels - perhaps describing how he had dodged/whathaveyou in the alternate branch - he might not have died.

Interesting extenuating fact: You also explicitly responded to both branches at once in your post by having Kael react to both the redirection orb and Donny's gunshots. This created a minor paradox that was resolved by merging the two branches, creating the third pavise knight as well as transporting a Kael corpse into the current contextual reality.

I hope you are all taking notes.

<Snipped quote by Terminal>

I was trying to resolve the pre-existing paradox by merging the two realities myself in having the gunshots occur, but without my death, before you could do so otherwise. Apparently I failed. Though...if I may ask, how exactly did such a thing create a third knight?
