[OOC] Schooled in Magic

[Riven Wight]

@OfWindAndRain
Let the magic, adventure, and madness begin! Hope you like reading. xD

I apologize if Jazelle's part isn't the best. I'm used to having a few posts with a main character in normalish situations to get acquainted with them before thrusting them into action.

Let me know what you think!

[OfWindAndRain]

@Siaya Dragalorn
Okay, really sorry for the wait
I should have my introduction for both my characters (the other character sheet is WIP rn) done, with the character sheet, tomorrow or the day after. Hopefully tomorrow. School starts Monday, which means that my posting should increase very notably. Also, I'm either really fast or really slow with introductory posts- hard to think up everything, especially if you're trying to make it based off of something else, but not that something else. For me, at least. Again, real sorry for taking so long, but I should have my first post up soon, and then I should be way faster after that!

Or way slower. Depends on how stressful school is, especially compared to work.

[Riven Wight]

No worries! I understand. Just glad to know you're still around! xD

School starts Monday, which means that my posting should increase very notably.

@OfWindAndRain

Well, that's different. Normally it's opposite! Heh. I hope your first day back at school goes well for you! Seriously, no need to apologize for taking a while. Life happens. :-)

And noted. Best of luck with finding a good balance between the two!

[OfWindAndRain]

@Siaya Dragalorn
Yeah, I hope everything works out!

But yeah, posting increases when school starts because I can't play games at school, so I resort to writing more and reading more webcomics to distract myself in the many classes where I have free time. I'd take everything I'd need to post to, stick it on a word document, and then write it up sometime during the school day, and then post it when I get home.

[Riven Wight]

@OfWindAndRain

Gotchya. Slacker. xD

I do something like that, too, upon occasion. I just pull the thread up and leave it open on the browser instead of copying/pasting what I have to reply to until I get the time to write something up for it in a doc, then post when I have the chance.

By the way, do you prefer to be quoted each reply here, or no?

[OfWindAndRain]

@Siaya Dragalorn
The mentions help me respond faster, if I'm not specifically looking at my subs, but I'm fine either way.

And ye
total slacker :b

My school's techpeople made a great fuss over me writing for fun, and so they blocked RPG. And dA. And like everything else. Sooooo I can't use the actual website.

Also, how does the idea of Whitehall having these 'Wardens' who roam around and act as a security/peacekeeping force? The Wardens being animated beings made out of clay and armor, given life via magic.

[Riven Wight]

@OfWindAndRain
Alrighty!

At least you admit it. Good on you!

Darn techpeople. Such fun-suckers. When I pull them up with internet access, as long as I don't close the windows, they stay up without internet.

Ooo. I love it! Best type of golems I've ever seen.

[OfWindAndRain]

@Siaya Dragalorn
Okay, really sorry, I didn't get around to it. I've added more stuff to both my other CS and the IC, but still not complete.

Sometime during one part of the inevitably boring day, I'll get it finished. If not, then feel free to jab me in the side with sharp objects until I've posted everything. Making me feel guilty works the best, btw.

[Riven Wight]

@OfWindAndRain

Seriously, I'm not worried about it! I understand being busy, especially the weekend before starting school.

Probably won't use the tactic of taking you on a guilt trip. Heh. But poking you with pointy objects sounds fun. *Gathers all the sharp, pointy objects I have available. Creates a rather impressive pile.*

@OfWindAndRain

How was your first week of classes?

[OfWindAndRain]

@Siaya Dragalorn
They went pretty well, even if I know that they're going to get a bunchahard.

I have Calculus and English 2332 right in the morning x.x
Followed by Federal Government
And then Anatomy
And then Agricultural Powersystems
After that is lunch, then I haz Culinary Arts, Sociology, and then Journalism. Which is a fun afternoon.

My CS is done, btw, though I'm not too good at biographies. My IC should be up today.

[Riven Wight]

@OfWindAndRain

Oh my gosh. Isn't that a lovely way of starting your morning? xD Well, unless you like calculus. The last part of your day sounds pretty enjoyable, though, especially journalism! Would you care if I asked what grade you're in?

Woo! I look forward to reading it/them whenever you get the chance to post! :-) It's all good about the bio. It doesn't have to be as long as mine. Heh. I just tend to get carried away, and find that, for me, the more detailed it is, the easier to remember and develop the character's personality.

[OfWindAndRain]

@Siaya Dragalorn
Yeh, I'm not too good at writing up everything about a character, right off the bat.

I didn't really put one- couldn't think of anything good, you know? I started writing two or three different types, but they were just... blegh, no. So I went without. Easier for me to flesh him out as we go along. For me, of course.

IC should be up here pretty quick, tho

Also, I'm a senior.

Also, what's your schedule like?

[Riven Wight]

@OfWindAndRain

Alrighty. As long as it works for you, and you know his history! :-)

Congrats on making it to your senior year! Woo!

I'm not attending school right now (and should let you know that I'm 23), and am currently on a job hunt after moving. So, my schedule is pretty odd at the moment and liable to change. Heh.

If you don't mind (and because I'm a bit of a stickler for details), I want to point out that it was the dead of night where the Necromancer was (but twilight on Earth), and that Jazelle's hands are still tied behind her back when they pop up in front of the other students (who are moving in at night?). And, with character interaction, I'd like to request the opportunity to have her react to major things that happen. I bring that up because you skipped around and just took them both to talk to the Grandmaster without giving me any space to throw in what Jazelle would do. Because it wouldn't have been a quiet affair. xD

[OfWindAndRain]

@Siaya Dragalorn
Oh, yeah. That's not nitpicky or anything, that's just me being sloppy and forgetting the environmental details of your post. Sorreh >.<

I'll cut my post down to... somewhere else. Where she can scream at him for daring to save her, yeah?

[Riven Wight]

@OfWindAndRain

S'all good! :-) That's why I brought it up.

Have them end up wherever you want them to end up--well, within fantastical reason, of course! ^.^--I just ask that you keep in mind the details of the scenes, and give me the opportunity to react with my girl to major events (like being tackled and teleported somewhere) instead of assuming she would go quietly (or otherwise) along. And hey, she has no idea he just saved her. For all she knows, he's another Necromancer!

[OfWindAndRain]

@Siaya Dragalorn
Okay, I don't know if I'll be able to post or edit anything within any reasonable sort of timeframe- I might take just a couple hours to reply, or a couple weeks, as you well know. Thank you for your ungodly, unnaturally inhuman patience- really. It's amazing. Unless you're okay with waiting forever (or maybe not forever), then please, let's continue on- I am trying- but I've got... parental issues, and then school and the fact that I'm downright miserable/depressed most of the time and trying desperately to distract myself from it, which writing doesn't seem to be able to do anymore (hence my far slower posting rate, when before, it was several real long and good posts every day).

I don't know if I can get anything to you in a reasonable amount of time, because of my life stressors, but if you're up for trying to slug through this, then sure. If not, do let me know if you'd like to save yourself the wait. Terribly sorry, I am, either way.

[Riven Wight]

@OfWindAndRain

I'm so sorry you're going through things. Though I don't know exactly how you feel, I do know depression. In any form, it can be quite debilitating. I can honestly tell you that writing has saved my life a few times. I truly hope you can find some other constructive outlet to help you push through. Though it's probably one of the last things you want to hear, have you thought about talking things out with someone? Speaking from experience, just trying to mask it does significantly more harm than good.

If you're still interested in the RP, I'm not going anywhere, and am quite okay with waiting as long as you need. As long as you're okay with me randomly sending a message every now and again to say hello. ^.^ I'll also happily work around what I mentioned, though, if it'd be easier for you (which it sounds like it would be). And, for the record, I did enjoy reading your post. :-)
