All right, looking forward to it.

Also got a response from Bartimaeus, and we're working something out.

First post in two months is up~
I need to go imbibe a sedative...

Is Adelicia falling forwards or backwards?

Backward, in case it makes a difference xD

Just in case any of you think that the way Victor experiences being a Hunter is how your characters are supposed to experience it: don't worry, I expect a lot of these things to differ from person to person. Not every Hunter is as paranoid, bloodthirsty, sadistic or inconsistent as Victor, nor would other Hunters necessarily end up using their powers unintentionally, like starting to perform a visceral attack just because someone within arm's reach is in a vulnerable state. Others also might have an even more difficult time than Victor.

Who is next in the clinic scene?

I can write something on Thursday, Marcus needs better weapon ^-^

Mind you, if your post deals with more than the next three or four IC seconds, it might be prudent for me to make a post first. They are dealing with more than just the Mad One, after all.

By the way people, I dunno if you are familiar with the music artist Alex Roe, but he did a number of Bloodborne-inspired albums that replicate the music in the games to a really authentic degree. I'm bringing it up because he released his third (I think) such album this week, and there's some good stuff in there. Linking my favorite track so far.

Anyone else want a post in at the clinic before I progress things a bit further?

Pretty interesting piece of music, Ashgan. It never really built as much or reached as high a crescendo as I expected, but thinking it over I suppose that is more in line with the atmosphere of Bloodborne. Also, "Night of the Hunt" is obviously a fairly obvious and generic (but impactful) title for something based on Bloodborne, so I'll ignore that the RP shares that name... but one of his songs from that album is called "Viktor and the Umbra Wolf"? I mean, yeah, it's Viktor with a K instead of a C, and wolflike traits are the most common with the scourge of beasts, but... heh.
(Needless to say I'm waiting for you on with Victor, Ashgan.)

Well, I wasn't planning to post in the clinic again until at least the next enemy turn following Marcus.

I've been seeing Alex Roe in my Youtube feed since even before Bloodborne's launch. I ought to finally start checking out his stuff a little more actively...

I'm afraid I'm going to have to drop out of this. I've been trying to find the time to make a post but I have too many other projects going on at the moment that I can't.

I'm very sorry to hear that, King Cosmos, but if that's how it is then that's how it is.

There seems to be a lot of that going around these days... I really don't like how many players this RP has lost, and it hasn't even properly gotten started yet. Don't get me wrong, the RP is going to continue, it's just a worrying trend.

Kind of the ebb and flow of roleplaying, as it turns out. It's not much help, but I recently made an interesting discovery relating, at the very least, to my own behavior and that of a friend of mine: we've been doing 1x1 roleplays for quite a while, but have the similar issues of the game eventually petering out, perhaps not even that far in. As of a few months ago, however, we've moved on to playing tabletop-rpg games, but still on a text basis and still with a huge narrative focus (we reference character sheets maybe once or twice an evening) and because we keep a regular, weekly schedule, it's helped us stay on track and move forward. Granted, the format is a bit different as it's effectively instant chat roleplay (or as instant as 3 to 30 minutes per post can get), but I do find it interesting that we've made much more tremendous story progress so far than we usually manage and I'm considering using this format for all of our roleplay ideas moving forward. I feel a lot more confident about that type of game not fizzling out.

As said, that probably doesn't help here and is perhaps beside the point, but it's something that I felt excited about and it felt appropriate to share at this juncture.

On a more related note, I know I'm not super trustworthy in terms of being punctual, but I can offer to play a second character should there be a shortage at some point - playing a Blood Saint, it's tempting to have an actual hunter character as well.

Do you want to post, @Habibi359?

Hmmm... My post would come this on Thursday, bit late I think, and wouldn't hold inside too much anything interesting, so I'd say I'll post after you @Dark Jack.

Also I'll be away from Friday to Tuesday, so I'll write a response on Thursday.

Post sent. My wits weren't with me two days ago (reply came after a LARP) and I see that could have written something after all two days ago.

Anyway, I can post next time on Wednesday (perhaps Tuesday but I expect I'm exhausted then, too).

How is it looking on your end, Ashgan?

Back in the game. ;_;

@Habibi359? @DrabberRogue?

Assuming Adelicia questions Victor - probably with some concern and panicked impatience - why he is stopping at the door, would it distract him enough to end up getting shot? Or do you want me to just make a brief post detailing her immediate action and let you handle the follow-up?
