Hurricane yesterday. Work today. Post start tomorrow. Worst three-day weekend ever...

Stay safe! And try not to wear yourself out too much. Sounds like it's been a hell of a month for you.

And, it's not even the holiday season yet, lol!

Alright! Post is up, and I'm pretty happy with it. A little "heavy" exposition, but not a whole ass lore drop, lol

Penni's, hopefully, gunna be interesting (or, at least, her peekabang will make people simp for her, like Mash. XD) as we move forward.

And, in the interest of moving forward, I'll calling for a vote on the current, inactive and unresponsive state of SSW. I'm an avid supporter of Majority Vote, so:

"Like" this post, if you want me to give SSW one last chance.

"Thank" this post, if you want me to ping for a Caster.

We've had one person show interest, so that's already someone I can PM the spot to.

I appreciate everyone's patience with me, as my job, health, and a goddamn end-of-season hurricane fuck me over left and right.

I had that post ready in my head, since I read up Rez's post, but I've pulled the equivalent of two doubles in three days - last night being 14-1/2 hours of work - so... kinda didn't have time to get it in.

A little more characterization for Ritsuka. Reggie's really being a bro, doing me a solid, so I can display just how bitter and war-worn she is, without having the force the dialogue. Love when that occurs naturally.

I'll be bumping the IC for a Caster, but y'all reach out, if ya wanna.

@Rezod92 I did what I could do make sure that you're dialogue to Ritsuka and then you line break were kept in tact, so you don't need to edit in anything after the fact to acknowledge what was said, if you don't wanna. Feel free to, if you wanna.

Also, I love Robin. "She said, SHE'S EVIL. DID ANYONE ELSE HEAR THAT!?"

@Enkryption

Well, damn. Had I known my guy got Ritsuka to react like that, I would've had Reggie stick around to conversate more.

Regardless, let's just chalk it up to Reggie refusing to acknowledge her statement because, as I have pointed out, he's got bigger things to worry about.

.....BUT! If Reggie did acknowledge those words:

"So you got called up without any input on your part.", Reggie responded, standing on the threshold of the door as he turned around to fix the Director a serious glare. "News flash: When shit happens, it often doesn't wait for your permission, so with all due respect, that's a lame-ass excuse for being an unsupportive leader. Don't go painting me like I'm some pompous, privileged know-it-all. I've SEEN what happens if Chaldea fails, so I'm absolutely willing to put my life on the line to ensure Humanity still has a future. While I don't doubt this team can get the mission done, some of us just don't have the heart for it. Do you not see Cordelia and Michel expressing their fear? Would it kill you to show a bit of compassion and lift their spirits? Shit like that goes a long way, you know. You say I'm not the first Master of Rider and I'm likely not going to be the last. And? All that tells me is that you have tried, and failed, 7 times at this point. Have you learned anything from those failures? Have you improved from them that they don't happen again? Because if you haven't....... then what the fuck have you been doing? I'm not saying this is gonna be a cake walk, because it won't be. I'm not saying that everything is gonna be okay, because not everything will be okay. All I'm saying is that if Chaldea hopes to avert and resolve this crisis, it all starts with you and how you lead! And so far.... you lead like you interact with people: Lousy. Do better. Start. Leading."

You know, after typing that, it's a good thing Reggie walked out. Otherwise, he and Ritsuka would've been butting heads.

@Rezod92

Yeah... definitely a good thing. Since, that massive loss of life was this morning for her. She hasn't even stopped to grieve yet.

A contextual edit has been made, because, I just didn't like how the post ended.

Things are moving along I see. It's gonna be a bit longer for me, so I'm just checking in for now.

I'm going to have to put this RP on hiatus, sadly. Due to the ramping up of my job - I work at Moe's, as primary prep five to six days a week, usually eight to nine hours, restocking the store and making catering orders - I'm starting my days earlier and ending them later.

I'm finding myself writing posts in-between lunch breaks, walking to work, and pretty much anywhere I can steal time, which are moments growing few and far between with personal life ramping up in the background. It's easier to post as a player, than GM, and I don't wanna create a subpar experience as a GM (or, a Player, of course).

All that to say, I would like to come back to this, but I don't expect anyone to hang on to a potential return. So, I'll keep this RP and my other one up as [ON HIATUS] until my professional life, at the very least, calms down.

Hopefully, we will pick up in the future, and if not, there's always the next RP.

Thanks for being here.
