Wordplay aside I wish to know I can keep clearing rubble with the weapon till we can access the other side.

Alright, probably been putting this off long enough. I'll try and get a post up tomorrow~

@jerkchicken Before I answer that question, did you even read the latest OP post? Again, you can do whatever you want. But if you still intend on going with this action despite my earlier warnings, which you have blatantly ignored, then I'll just make it short and simple.

The character will die.

@RyuShura

To be clear, Isabella and others are in the same area as Dwynn who's currently climbing up a rope to somewhere, right?

I might need to go back and read a bit to get a clear picture of the place again xD

Yeah, but its pitch black in there now. Only people with lights is uhh... Ruby and Well, Ihosha can see in the dark.

But I wont stop anyone from doing some extra read... As I left more than one hints towards what lies ahead in the posts with Dwyn.

@RyuShura

Hm, you think it would be feasible for Isabella to slowly move forward in the dark until she reached the wall where the light was previously shining above?

I want to try something with the whip-sword, and Isabella wouldn't really wait around on anyone else.

Sorry for the late reply.. Got a lot of things going on in the real world at the moment. Umm. Yeah, I think she can sneak up without to much problem considering all the commotion going on already.

Wasn't really concerned with sneaking so much as I was with the fact she'd be crossing an unfamiliar room in near pitch-darkness.

Anyways.

Have a post. Lets see how well this works~

currently sick with a harsh cold.

I'll start working on something once I feel better.

I might get a roll call out sometime as we near the weekly posting deadline.

We are going drastically slower than usual, as I'm sure all of you are aware. Though, that might be for the best. If anything, I might postpone the deadline for a bit longer since I don't think I'm quite in the proper mindset to push things forward. And if that doesn't pan through either, well, at least we all had a good run.

Can't say its not partly my own fault that we've come down this road. You can say it has been a bit of negligence. I've been focusing a lot on real life ambitions and dealing with the drama that comes with it. There is only so much I can juggle around at once. I am only human, after all. Unfortunately this project has been sidelined as a result of me following my greater dreams. This is a work of passion, and I gain nothing (baring my own gratification) from putting in the great amount of effort into crafting each detail as I do. Most of which, is yet to be seen and may never be. So, its only natural that I have to focus on other things of tangible value. Dastardly, to act selfishly when accepting the responsibility of being a 'GM', I know. So, because of that, its been difficult to sustain a fervent upkeep on this roleplay as I envisioned it to have across all stages of play and development. That does not mean I have abandoned this side if my life, however. I still wish to provide what I promised to all of you. For those who have stuck around for this long, I wouldn't want to compromise all thats been done with half-baked decisions and paltry efforts on my own part. But I can't help it. My mind just isn't here right now, so forgive me.

I owe all of you too much to turn my back suddenly, but I do feel myself losing grasp of things. These are my honest feelings.

I do think that's more of our, I know at least my, fault than yours. I definitely love the world you've made and would like to see more of it, especially considering how much work it seems you've put into it, it would be a shame to not be able to see all of what you've done. I hope you don't get too discouraged, but even if you do it was fun to see even a glimpse of what you've made.

I appreciate your kindness, but don't feel like blaming yourself or anyone.

I am not discouraged by the lack of updates, because I have not been diligent in them myself. Simply, I chose to be busy with other things. I only have myself to blame. In any case, expect to see an official rollcall in a day or two. If a few people drop out, then I can simply move forward with my initial plan of a smaller, more close-knit party for this roleplay. After observing this first combat and exploration encounter, I feel it is probably for the best to slim down numbers anyway. The way I organize the game and scenes is more suitable to a small party, where character interaction doesn't feel so clustered and awkward.

well, jeez.

I'm not sure what to say really.

I was gonna try and type something up, but I couldn't really think of anything. Whatever you do, Shura, it was fun while it lasted and you've made a rather neat world here I'd hate to see go to waste.

It's cool, real life stuff always precedes rp stuff in importance. That being if you're still wanting to run it but the workload is a bit too much now, perhaps one of us can step up and sort of act as co-gm? You can come up a with like descriptions of the various locations, a somewhat loose outline of things to definitely be encountered no matter what happens, and then maybe some optional stuff that's much more variable. Then with that laid out, the co-gm can arbitrate things as play progresses and if needed do some adjustments to account for player randomness.

*i linger like the dark in the night*

Haha, thanks for the kind words. I really do appreciate them! :^D

But don't worry about me. I can handle the workforce if I pace myself according. I am just disappointed in myself more than anything, because of my lack of discipline. Because of my taking upon new life responsibilities, I just wouldn't be able to keep the level of maintenance and quality I promised you all. Sorry for that. But I will continue to do my best with my limited time.

In any case, I've got some free time today after work.

After checking the latest posting list, these are the peeps who have yet to post: @Erode@kagethekiller

If either of you can respond with a concrete answer of interest, I can get a schedule up to move forward with. Regardless, I will finally push things along in the next few days.

I'm always here, ryu~!

Ain't got time at this time. Just make me disappear or something. Peace, yo.

@Erode

Alright, I'll do some background piloting it seems. Does this mean you're out for good? Or shall we just have Aiv tucked away to return with some mini solo-venture later?

@kagethekiller And because of demand and a lack of mutual correspondence, I have replaced your spot in this roleplay with another player. Sorry. Though I cannot promise any goodwill from my own heart, but I hope you had fun here while it lasted.

...

Other than that, I'll be making a main post sometime today. Had been stuck up on work most of this week.

@RyuShura

Hm.

I'll be honest.

I can't really come up with anything to post with Isabella. Mostly because she's already about as ready as she can be for the jump? I mean, if she wasn't ready she wouldn't have really done it.

So I'm just at a bit of a loss for what to write here since I'd just basically be repeating what I've already done/said, since she's committed to this and I don't really think this is an action she can just stop mid-way through.

Not that she'd exactly want too.
