You are too sweet! Feelings mutual, my friend. Here’s to...well, as many acts as we can muster! XD

Awww, I just had to give it a little shoutout, its turned out to be such an epic story :3 I look forward to all of them, too! XD

Ari wanted to say a few things to Voldon, so have a slightly waffly transition post XD He was such an important figure though, wouldn't be right for him not to have had a decent send off ;3; I have to admit I teared up a little myself writing this one, still can't believe old Voldon's kicked it ;-; I'm gonna miss him as much as they will haha

Boy, yeah, it's going to be weird going forward without him. Ah well. He and Roan should have an interesting afterlife together xD

So you alluded to something that I've been struggling with: who do we replace Voldon with on the Council? I mean, sure we can leave the post vacant for a while if we'd like to, but I think that our Elders would want another voice. Kira would reject hte idea of filling her husband's slot, so then where would we be left? I know that we have apprentices planned for Yerbol and Aria, so they're out of the question...what are your thoughts on the matter? I'd personally be ok with leaving the seat vacant until we figure out a viable option, but if you have something better planned, let me know so we can do that

Makes me giggle just thinking about what they'd be getting up to. Probably growing A LOT of grey hairs and cursing everyone else's lack of foresight in their absence eh? ;) XD

I've been struggling to think of where they would go from there, naturally it'd be a kind of...security (?) for them to fill the place as soon as possible, but would ANY of the current Elders be willing to fill it? Ailel certainly wouldn't, Cheriss....ehhh, I guess she'd agree to it if the others put her up to it (and she certainly has the "shut up and do what I say" personality for it, but that doesn't make her a good candidate for being the absolute leader of the Order *scratches imaginary beard in thought*) but it's not something she's going to be jumping at to volunteer for if that makes sense? XD I obviously can't speak for Matt and Malu, so I guess that leaves us at a toss up between those three (Cheriss, Matt or Malu)?

Its a real pickler, thats for sure XD We don't have to decide straight away either so maybe like you say its best to leave them to it and see what kind of formation they decide to fall into naturally? o.o

I have a nagging feeling that we agreed that Cheriss would step up as presiding Elder...is that at all true? In any case, I agree with your second option of just letting the characters decide. It'll be much more fun that way xD.

So, order of events in my head:
-Funeral service/post funeral service discussions (me) (that's going to be a long one...bear with me)
-Funeral service/post funeral service discussions (you)
-Skip forward a couple of days and then have initial discussions about Revan/assigning apprentices (me)
-Discussions about Revan/assigning apprentices (you)

Sound ok?

Also, apprentice wise, do you want to try out new characters or go with established ones?

Now that I think about it...it was probably suggested that she would but I'm not sure if we finalized it as a definite plan? XD still, I agree it might be nicer to let them work it out themselves ;P

Sounds like a good order of events to me. As for the apprentices, hmmm....it could be quite nice to bring in some new blood so to speak? O.o since we didn't really develop any of their students very much individually beyond a few names here and there in passing? I think it might be quite nice for them to take on apprentices from the student body as it were xD but I can roll with it either way if you had a different idea (:

Fair enough on new characters. The younglings from WAY back in Act 1 are all either dead or went their separate ways across the galaxy, so yeah, new characters from the student body would be nice. I'm struggling on whether to pair Yerbol with a male or female apprentice, the latter being a touch more intriguing to me due to his relationship with Lysa and how that might influence the way he sees her...or that could translate over to a male as well.

I'll figure it out and get you a post ASAP

We've got some time to figure out who we want to pair them with so no rush there! I'm not 100% on the type of youngster I'd pair with Aria yet either haha

Either way it'll be a new and interesting experience for them both o.o I'm excited haha

All sounds good. I JUST finished my Masters project, so my brain is kinda loopy. I'll get you a post tomorrow for sure :)

No rush here! Hope it's going well for you though! O: how much have you got left to finish for It?

I'm actually done minus any revisions that I'm told I need to do, so yay for that! Should be officially graduated by March 9th :)

And this is it! I'm DONE. Masters number two is enough. No more school!!! xD

Oh, that's awesome! Congrats! :D Bet it'll be nice not to worry about school on top of everything else haha I don't miss it AT ALL XD

Not done yet! Be done in a couple of hours :)

There we go! You can move to the next day or I can in my next post. Up to you :)

Man, that's a pretty deep revalation at the end there O__O I shall do my best to follow up on it XD

About Saresh? Ha, well, I'm trying to emphasize that Yerbol's as yet to be fully fleshed out "force wound" is tainting the way he sees people that have made a strong emotional impression on him(positive and negative). I'll keep developing it as we go so hopefully it'll make more sense.

I'd say you're doing a good job so far, I'm excited to see how it develops more :) I will hopefully have something up for you in the next couple of hours, everything willing XD

So, I was going to jump them forward but then this turned out a bit longer than I originally thought and I didn't wanna push too far ahead or rush anything XD

Wanted to leave some room for Yerbol to elaborate further if you wanted to, but feel free to shunt them into the next meeting on your next post if it seems right (:

Yep, will do on pushing us to the Council meeting.

Duuuuude, I listened to Starset this morning for plot inspiration and I've got a few ideas on what's going to happen to Yerbol and this whole "wound" thing. I won't tell you too much because I want it to be a shock, but it's going to be...interesting to say the least. The Last Jedi also inspired my decision for Yerbol's character, so there's that too xD

Hey, did we ever decide on what the first steps would be in terms of finding Revan and the Exile? Because all we had them see was a vision. I suppose maybe they'd have to go to the last place Revan was rumored to be? Which would be...well, I don't know. Any ideas?

Ohhh that sounds ominous! I anxiously await to find out more O_O

As to how they manage to find them, a thought I had the other day, maybe they could return to the academy thing on Malachor V and find clues that way? It was kinda implied at the end of KOTOR 2 that Exile left some of her party members there to guide future Force users in pursuit of herself and Revan later, wasn't It?
So either they could run into someone or at the very least find some kind of Star map or clue perhaps? (:

Weather here is pretty funky and the snow seems to have taken out my Wi-Fi D: (managed to creep on with phone data but I only have so much of that lol) so I may be MIA till it stops next week. If the weather reports are to be believed it SHOULD clear up by Monday :3
