[OOC] Imaginary District: Youkai, Magic, and Youth, An Urban Fantasy RP

[13org]

I was considering darting forward and trying to cut the hands, but its probably a bad idea

[VitaVitaAR]

You can try it.

[13org]

Lazyyy XD

I'll have a post by tomorrow.

[ghastlyInc]

yeah. but its a little difficult to get two paragraphs out of 'look dumb founded as many hands start pulling you to the ground'

#lewd

Edit: Will try and get a post up tonight after dentist.

@ghastlyInc

It's not a hard rule that every post must be multi-paragraphed; people forget that far too easily. Padding can be worse than brevity when there's nothing going on.

Especially when characters then start perceiving things in effective slow motion.

[13org]

At least this might get things going

[Raineh Daze]

Or just stall them by having one person do a lot in a very limited amount of time and making it troublesome to react.

[13org]

@Raineh Daze

Really? I had the impression that I wrote a lot only to do a simple action.

Not many things happened since the last time I posted, so I tried to do a post with what I had

[Raineh Daze]

Well, potentially flinging everyone else in the group backwards on top of retroactive conversation, grabbing someone, and a barrier?

[13org]

@Raineh Daze
Wind. just wind.

Its nothing serious. I will edit the throwing them back part. I wanted to save them but... well

[13org]

@Raineh Daze aye aye miss.

Done...

I normally react to conversations but if you want me to always be silent and not respond people, there you have.

By retroactive conversation do you mean that I shouldn't react to what passed?
I can only react to what happened in the end of the last post?
Jumping forward in time, appearing in places I never was, etc etc.?

I don't know what you want from me but it would be nice if you just said it...

[Raineh Daze]

Talking to characters who've already said something else to someone else or moved on entirely but placed before they did that... eh, from a story-writing perspective it's just troublesome? Because it paints one character as rude one way or the other. In conversations with multiple people, I'll end up assuming that someone's not able to find an opening in that brief period rather than saying something that's being totally ignored. Though it's just plain awkward if something someone writes (IC) afterwards would have prevented some course of action* and starts making people look stupid.

I just find it neater and more convenient to only go in detail on what's occurring in the scene rather than backing through hundreds of words. Easier to read, too.

*Not to say that that's happening right here.

Ah--I'm sorry I didn't mention, but the reason I mentioned it is because, when things are progressing slowly, it seems likely to accidentally cause more issues if there's a lot of complicated posts that make things more difficult to respond to. ^^;

[AtomicNut]

Think I'll post with Miss Mei. I'll wait on @Ennui for Rickie.

Edit: Bloody hell that was some cute grouchyness Raineh.

[Raineh Daze]

I'm really bad at trying to be helpful. :P

[13org]

When I reply to something that was already said, I don't expect to others to reply back.

And I always what I said didn't need any reply. Was just an opinion, just a heads up Aamuu gave to others. ignoring it doesn't mean the other character is rude or anything.
I just find equally rude for me to not react to what others said.

[AtomicNut]

I'm really bad at trying to be helpful. :P

@Raineh Daze

Can't be worse than me in that regard. At least you come off as cute sometimes.

All I do is come off as weird and creepy.

Edit: They usually involve violence and explosions. That might be it.

[Raineh Daze]

Hmm, well, if Shun feels like answering that question... Ryuuko has been present for anywhere in the vicinity of an hour to three or so.

[ghastlyInc]

Will do.

edit: I did the thing. woo. :3

[easy modo]

Anyone else to post for the Onryo?

Kinda will take a bit long again for me to do another.

[ghastlyInc]

I think its just Jedly with Styx and then its ready for the next post?
Maybe Rin with her character, but I think she's still down with the sickness.
