[OOC] You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

[The Elvenqueen]

I'm a little out of practise writing long fight scenes so apologies if it seems sloppy or rushed :$ feel free to add or change anything about! XD

I don't know what you had planned for specifically when you wanted to start your Voldon plot, but I had some possible thoughts here for how to get from here to there that I thought I'd jot down for discussion/tweaking? XD

I imagine they'd contact Voldon to update him on the situation, perhaps he volunteers to come back out and assist them with whatever next step they decide to take? As for what that next step could be I had two different ideas:

-So, Manus knows of this neutral Force user base now and that Ari and Bol are present there, understandably that makes their presence there potentially dangerous for the neutral Force users, particularly the youngest ones with little experience and such. Perhaps as a safety measure they suggest relocating the base to try and maintain secrecy again, so with Voldon's help the Qyaari aid in relocating them and perhaps training up some of the youngsters in case Manus and the Faceless reappear, while arranging to get more supplies out to them etc.? Of course being a master tactician I'm sure Manus can easily figure out where they have moved to after a little bit of time (I dunno...maybe 2 weeks or so?) he mobilizes another attack and of course once he hears Voldon is there he decides to join the raising party for lack of a better term, himself and then we can go ahead with that part of the plot when we get there?

OR

-Perhaps they are reluctant to make such a big move due to lack of resources/supplies/a suitable place to move to, so instead try to fortify their current complex a bit more with the Qyaari's help? Which could stump Manus for a while until he comes up with a solution to get around it and yadda yadda haha

Thoughts? Or of course any other ideas you had that are totally different, I'd love to hear them too c:

Hey there! Sorry for the radio silence, but work got super busy on Friday.

Read both alternatives and I like the first one. Starts to build bridges with the Qyaari at least and would be a nice segway back to Zinuthra where, unbeknownst to our duo, most of the outer rim is about to descend into chaos xD

Will get you a post later in the day :)

[The Elvenqueen]

Sounds good to me! And no worries, can't help it if things get busy after all! XD

[freedomliveson]

Feel free to skip to Zinuthra, but I thought it might be interesting to have the girl wake up and talk with the pair for a bit.

[The Elvenqueen]

Sounds good to me, I'll work that in somehow and try and end with them approaching/landing on Zinuthra c: Will endeavour to have it up by tomorrow morning my time :)

[The Elvenqueen]

Tah dah! Hopefully that sets it up nicely enough,feel free to add anything else necessary if the chaos should be a bit more evident before they meet with the Elders xD

[freedomliveson]

Did you see Logan? For some reason, your description of the Faceless made me think of the girl in the film. Untamed rage without anyone to guide her...which makes me think it might be interesting to make her a recurring character. Allow me to toy with the idea?

I'll do some fleshing out of Yerbols thoughts then get us to the Council meeting, which from the looks of it, is going to be very interesting

[The Elvenqueen]

I haven't actually watched that one yet, funnily enough, so that is pure coincidence! Lol but it sounds like an awesome idea so by all means go for it! ='D

Sounds awesome, I look forward to it!

[freedomliveson]

Well this is going to be a heated discussion...again xD

Also, have you heard Starset's new album? It's AMAZING and could totally apply to almost every moment in the story. Link is below:

[The Elvenqueen]

Duuuuudeee, I'd heard a couple of the songs (Die For You, Gravity Of You and Monster) but not the whole album yet. It's...scarily fitting to the story O__O
apologies for lack of reply yesterday but things got a little crazy over here xD

I didn't get a chance to work in them talking about the Faceless they took as prisoner, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to flow nicely with the rest of the meeting, so feel free to add it in if you think it's important and such before they carry on c:

I dunno how to quite work it in as well, but I had another thought today; in the Sith Warrior/Inquisitor storylines on SWTOR there's a lot of reference to old Rakatan technology, that keeps popping up on a lot of the planets, and I wonder whether Manus would go looking for them, being that they are technically Force-imbued artifacts and once used by Revan and such? o.O
It may of course, be a totally nutty idea that in no way could work so feel free to tell me that too LOL

[freedomliveson]

Oh yeah, I think we talked about incorporating them into the story somehow, didn't we? Then they just kinda disappeared while we moved on xD

Let's try to work them in somehow...I'll play around with the idea next post. I'm hoping to get to it today, but my wife and I just moved into our new home, so I'm exhausted. So, today or tomorrow xD

[The Elvenqueen]

Yeah, I think we meant to incorporate them in at some point with Illesia and the Xiis too, and it just didn't work out lol but might work out better with Manus and Soto so let's see :'D

and no worries on that front dude, moving can be exhausting so no rush :) hope it went well though! :D

[freedomliveson]

It has, thank you! Things are better now that we've done a lot of the more tedious things(cleaning carpets, dishes, etc.). Now it's just a matter of moving stuff around.

Post is incoming later tonight your time! Introducing a couple of new faces for later down the line in the form of...well, you can read for yourself ;)

[The Elvenqueen]

Yay! Well that's good, at least it went smoothly! Moving is definitely worse when you have all the stress of moving plus "*BAM* all these things that thought we'd go wrong just for the lulz" xD

Oooohhh, that sounds very exciting! O__O I shall be looking forward to it!

[freedomliveson]

Gave you a chance to have Ari/Cheriss interact with them before, you know, the outer rim implodes xD

[The Elvenqueen]

These three sound awesome, I like them already xD post is in the works but may not arrive till tomorrow afternoon...its absolute bedlam over here LOL

[The Elvenqueen]

Apologies for the radio silence....it's been kinda hellish over here and I've just been feeling very...creatively flattened? if such a description exists Dx

I have two thirds of this post done, but I'm struggling to connect the two bits with something in the middle, hoping to whack a playlist on tonight and try and get it done but I promise it'll be soon :)

[freedomliveson]

Hey, no worries! We've gotten hit with massive rain/flooding thanks to Harvey, so we've been busy xD

[The Elvenqueen]

Oh gosh, hope you're all doing okay and no-one was hurt or anything! o: (and of course that nothing was too badly damaged!) As always, no rush, life stuff comes first and is more important! (:

Finally got something up, didn't want to jump too far ahead in one go so I kinda elluded to the start of the chaos and figured we could go from there? XD Thought of a couple options for where our dear Champions could put themselves to use so feel free to go in whichever direction seems more interesting....or if you have ideas I haven't thought of yet :3

[freedomliveson]

All looks good and apologies for my silence this time, but man things were crazy here! Living through one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history is...well, crazy! Thankfully everything's good where we live, but the community I work in got hit really hard with flooding.

Thanks for the set up in the post! Will get something to you today :)
