[OOC] Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

[Muttonhawk]

I can't say I've read any of the novels or the deep lore, but I'm a fan of the games and like the universe. I'll have a look at what you've got. Just so long as it isn't a super crowded advanced nation RP or something similarly wordy. My reading and writing time/energy has been getting squeezed these past few months.

[EliteCommander]

Yeah, I understand. I have an interest check in the casual interest checks section. I haven't committed absolutely to the story I'm going to go with because I wanted to get input first from the players who showed interest. I'm expecting it to be a small group. One person so far has been sharing their preferences, and right now it seems most likely that we will go with a story of a small team operating in the Joint Occupation Zone, post war. I have plenty of story ideas in mind that will work with that, so it's a perfectly fine setting to me.

How are things going for you, by the way? Is it a good kind of busy, or a bad kind of busy you've been having to deal with?

[Muttonhawk]

Nice, I'll take a look at that interest check.

It's been good and bad over here. Been very busy at work because of deadlines but it's been fun. Living down the street from the Seattle protests has been a little more stressful, especially during the police clashes, but it's been much more peaceful since the police backed off.

I think it's mostly been draining to stay inside most of the time with the virus. Between that and me spending a lot of time with my partner, I had to drop out of a god RP a few months back because of the pace and quantity of it. I may have time for something smaller though. I have been wanting to get back into more regular writing anyway.

How are things with you?

[EliteCommander]

Things have been very...uneventful for me personally, mostly because of the virus. I've been taking it seriously and not going anywhere, as much as possible. Not much of interest for me to talk about, but I suppose an uninteresting few months is not really a bad thing, considering the circumstances.

[Muttonhawk]

Well in that case I hope you don't get too bored, haha! Glad to hear you're holding steady at least.

[Muttonhawk]

That was a long wait between posts. Sorry about that :P

I have a week off though, so hopefully I'll be able to post more often for a bit!

[EliteCommander]

I apologize for not posting today, I intended to. I will hopefully work on it tomorrow morning.

[Muttonhawk]

No worries! I've been far more guilty of that than you lately

[Muttonhawk]

It'll be another busy week at work this week. Hopefully after this it'll be a better posting rate from me than once a week :)

[Muttonhawk]

Been busy with holiday stuff. I'll get a post in the next couple of days.

[Vec]

Congrats on 8k, onward to 10k!

[Muttonhawk]

Lol, thanks Vec, but we're getting quite close to finishing this.

[Cath]

8.5k?

[Muttonhawk]

I'm not sure I can remember enough loose ends to tie up to make 8.5k, Catharyn :P

Anyway, it's late here, but I wanted to punch out that speech. I think it covers the essentials.

[EliteCommander]

I will try to get my response in tomorrow.

[Muttonhawk]

So, the more I think about tying up loose ends, the more I think I can just leave most of them for a gathered epilogue. We can do any scenes you would like but I don't have any more to add right now.

[EliteCommander]

There is just one more scene for me, I think. Everything else is being tied up well.

[Muttonhawk]

Hey, I'll be heading out to a three week long vacation next Monday. I might not be available to write, but I think we might only have epilogues left?

[EliteCommander]

While I could imagine plenty more epilogue scenes we could do, this was really the last one I had in mind. There are plenty of smaller threads, like with speaking with Lunise, or Fendros' father, or resolving their business with Hal-Neesa. It's up to you if you think they are something that you wouldn't want to end it without doing. Aside from that, I think it is just a matter of deciding what we want that final, send-off scene to be.

[Muttonhawk]

Hmm, I think I'm happy to leave those scenes alone.

Did you have any particular ideas for a send-off? We could have everyone gather up, character by character, for the victory feast. Or we could have a quieter moment. What do you think?
