holy shit

You guys know when in long-running series, there is usually an episode of flashbacks/recaps right before the grand finale?

Yeah, that's the idea. The difference is this one is all about Daimyon's past before the happenings in Axis Mundi, or really, before he got involved with the Infinity Initiative. ‘Ars Poetica’ literally translates to ‘the art of poetry’, and it's a meta-genre of poets writing about poetry and their poetic faith. I found it a fitting title for all of this.

Enjoy!

And so I rise from death to bring you a post!

...Annnd now I die again.

I really wanted my next post in this thread to be for the IC side and not the OOC side, but that's just how life is sometimes. You end up doing hurricane prep for a hurricane that ends up missing you, handle other projects, and sometimes you just don't have the will to write.

But I have been writing. I have a post that's about half way done and will 100% be up sometime this week. It would have been up last week, but you know, hurricanes, waning interest, etc.

But it hasn't all been the usual. The most demoralizing thing has been this case that is not quite complete, and I just don't have the ambition to finish it. I mean, it's a good case, very playable, but it's not bulletproof enough for a trial shootout. I also need to write up everyone's alibis and make sure they all make sense.

But I also notice we're a lot smaller than we were last time, and doing this as less of a game and more of an interactive experience over collabs would save me a lot of work, and we can get past this troublesome trial. The two after this are pretty cool (my own opinion) and it's just this semi-complete one that is kind of robbing me of my desire to write. So the sensible thing to do is to just kind of skip it.

So yea! +1 activity!

Also, here's the best thing to come out of the DR anime. #changemymind #DRanimemistakes

Thanks for helping with the collab guys. The actual trial will start over sunday/monday.

I will link the remaining players to the trail post so that we can start writing.

Echooooo...

@Mateotis is doing tests and stuff, and I do not have your discord contact information anymore, @Majoras End. I had wanted to discuss things via discord, but I guess I'll get the ball rolling on this.

@BrokenPromise

Yeah, like I told Ari, I'm kinda exiled from Discord thanks to some sliiightly toxic other friends o' mine. So collabs and stuff will have to be through PMs here. As much as I didn't want it to happen rEEEEEEE-

Once the fog clears up completely, i'll try to get things back in order there.

@Majoras End In that case, let's forego the collab and just start posting. Makes things feel more active that way at any rate.

If no one else is planning on posting atm, i'll get one up if I can.

And there, gave my two cents on this. But to quote (since I cant run it by you guys), I might be wrong, ya know.

@Majoras End@Mateotis@FamishedPants

Some courtroom drama for today.

@Majoras End@Mateotis@FamishedPants

I'm not much for pinging people for such short posts, but the tape under the door has been explained in more detail.

I better wait till some one else posts so I don't end up solving this alone. .-.

@Majoras End yea, best to wait for mate or famished to add a reply. same day posting isn't something I normally do, but it felt necessary to clarify.

So uh,

who's considerably the main protag now?

@Majoras End I've always thought the beautiful thing about roleplays was that there was no "main protag." Daimyon could be considered the main protag, if only because most of the pre-trial was from his perspective. You could also consider it to be Zachary, or even Alice depending on how your wanted to quantify it. Speaking of, I do need to get you your alibi stuff. But I think I'll wait till we git a bit further in the case, since that's not really important at this moment.

@BrokenPromise

Honestly, I was thinking that who the main protags were would depend on who survives in the end to...I dunno, keep people guessing or something? then again im just trying to small talk to pass time so, eh.

Oh, I has alibi? Neat.

@Majoras End Mate got busy again, and is okay with someone else posting.
