Allow me to expand upon that idea. Bars are frequented by 'doomsayers' in these types of tales - men or women who let slip a vital fragment of knowledge that they were sworn to keep, or those who spread rumours and bring word from other nations and provinces in exchange for a drink to slake their thirst, or a man raving about the nearing apocalypse. Our characters, all of whom seem to be the type to either frequent bars, look for work, or mayhaps get lost whilst out of their element, could be situated in the bar, or within earshot.

Once the doomsayer says their piece, they up and leave in order to find another watering hole. One by one, or perhaps all at once, our characters realise that what they said could be important, and begin pursuit of whatever is required - assembling at a location in order to be recruited, chasing after the doomsayer or looking for a particular person, or finding a poster of some sort which would lead to one of the former two. Since they have a common target, it is likely that they would all convene at some point, be it at one point or another.

Darius is that doomsayer

Huh... was that in his CS? I don't remember... also, that was 23 hours ago, meaning it was 3 o'clock for me back then, and that means it's 4 o'clock for me now... why am I nocturnal again?

Also, I'm not very coherent right now. I've been trying to get my sleep cycle back in order, which basically means what I'm doing is forcing myself to stay awake throughout the night and the day, and by the end of the day, I will be so grateful for sleep I will hopefully do so quite quickly. Then I'd sleep the night instead, and be tired next evening. Then the only problem is waking up earlier. Going back to college is rough...
_{And yes, I've tried going to bed earlier. It's easier this way. Harder, but also easier. Like gobstoppers and chewing gum. Both are sugary. Both taste great. But one of them is better... this is back to me not being very coherent.}

@BlizzI'm hovering about this game because I'm bored, and I tend to join a plethora of game because 2 out 10 actually wind up starting and survive longer than a week.

@BlizzIs there a reason why Nature Magic isn't an option? Because the character I plan to make a CS for would use that kind of magic along with Trickster. By nature, I mean like plant manipulation since Earth is all about rocks.

@Holy Soldier

Oh dear...Okay so Nature Magic is totally viable but it may become less useful as the further we go the more the land will rot away because the evil is "waking up"

So when is this actually starting?

@BlizzSo how does the land rotting away prevent my character from just using magic to cause flowers to grow, vines to grow, etc.? Obviously, those flowers won't live long because the ground has no nutrients, but I don't see how it would prevent magic from doing what magic does.

Well, its been two weeks since the IntCh started.
Doing my best to not be obnoxious, but is there an ETA on the OOC?

I've been busy with school, I'm so terribly sorry.

Come hell or high this roleplay is going to live I swear.

@BlizzYou should just focus on school. This is a prime example of a GM who just needs to focus on IRL especially when she doesn't have time for a group game. When you get settled or in a comfortable battle rhythm, then you should try relaunching this idea if your dedicated players are still floating around this thread. This way you are not stressed or wasting the time of your prospective players.

There are too many GMs on this site who try to start a game and cannot afford to dedicate their time to running it. Or my favorite, the GMs who don't want to GM their own games. This is a trend that needs to be buried because it is very toxic to the site. It's no wonder the RPers constantly flit from one game to another. As I said initially 2 out of the 10 games I join actually start because of these reasons. 90% GM fail.

@Holy Soldier
You know, since we were both in The Destined, I am going to say this. Your pessimism can be as equally toxic to the website. And do not lump them all together - there are some gms who don't follow through, or can't, but they want to, try their hardest, because it's their passion, something they want to do. So try and look at the world with a little more hope, yeah?

Either way, @Blizz, if you decide to put it on hold or push through it, you can count on me to be one of your players. So you already have one solid player here, if you'll have me. Just, remember to PM me or alert me. I'm not a psychic so... >.>

@Elle SantiagoWhat?

are you still looking for players?

@forums I think Elle accidentally tagged you when they meant to tag Blizz.

rip sorry i got confused there for a sec

@Holy Soldier He ^u^

And I know I should focus on school, but the thing is I spent roughly an entire year on this, deleting ideas, revising ideas, adding new ideas, mulling over lore, what have you. This is something I put my heart and into, I don't want it to rot away like my other roleplays have, it just gets under my skin to look at ny literary child and see no growth.

For those wondering, it's on the first page.

Also, Rowan will be joining us soon, with any luck. Just be rather busy with other rps to get the cs done.
