[OOC] The 20th Floor ~ Sword Art Online

[Noodles]

Hello. Sorry to bother ya. I'm not going to again after this, I promise. :)

It's fine if you don't feel like continuing. I probably should have insisted Varen sacrifice himself and maybe by now you could have gotten more people involved with this. Hindsight, am I right?

@Mangrale

Nope, its just that the past month, was busy with Chinese New Year with family gatherings & stuffs, and when I got back, I lost flow with the thread. Controlling 4 or 5 characters is harder than I thought >.< , and it makes getting back in more difficult for me ~ Was trying to write off the characters that wasn't mine smoothly due to that. The results would be the same either ways, its the first thread I had GMed, you're doing good, its just my inexperience here >_<

[Mangrale]

Oh? Well I was kinda under the assumption that once the group as a whole was passed the watchtower, the mission/arc/chapter(?) would be completed and the party would go their separate ways for the time being or even indefinitely as the case would likely be. But the important thing would be that Athel would be free to go on to the next stage sooner rather than later. Lately, I've been thinking that it would have been best if the current stage be completed and your workload lightened as soon as possible, know what I mean?

On the other hand, now that I'm looking back, if I had Varen volunteer to stay behind and get his butt murdered, there's a chance you'd have everyone try and save him anyway. Xp Okay, so maybe this kind of thing should have been discussed OOC beforehand...

Anyway, I guess I'm up for whatever you want to do at this point. I am willing to try and control a character or two to take some pressure off, but the choice is yours ultimately. I'll accept your decision either way. Would it help if I said "no pressure"? XD

@Mangrale
Ima resume the battle against Kirito Ares ~~ Will add my formatting later :X ``

[Mangrale]

Awesome!

[Mangrale]

I've been pretty busy lately, but I'll definitely get something out this week. >.<

[Noodles]

Took a day late for this post, and rushed it abit >.< ~~

[Mangrale]

Ah don't worry about it. I'll get on something in a few days if that's cool.

[Mangrale]

Late again it seems, sorry about that. This is just not my week. I decided to just post something already instead of prolonging further. XD

[Noodles]

Will be making a post on tomorrow, took too long for that, had a busy week & tons of unfinished posts for other threads >.<

[Mangrale]

No problem :)

[Zi]

Is this dead? Im interested...

[Mangrale]

@Zi
I wouldn't call it dead, although the final word should probably go to Noodles. We were in a skirmish of some kind when the guys we were with bailed on us. Noodles decided to pick up the slack for their characters and things just sort of went all quagmire on us. It's a slow but hopefully sure affair. Whether you'd be joining in immediately or after the battle is finished one way or another is something I'd like @Noodles to decide ultimately. I hope you understand.

[Zi]

@Mangrale I understand completely. No harm done. I will stick around, see if anything ends up coming round.

[Noodles]

@Zi Its still open, the players are in the middle of a battle, but this arc would be ending soon. Still, you can hop in if you want ~

@Mangrale Finally posted, another rushed one, but caught a cold & took 10 times longer even when I jotted down my plans for the post, *sniffs* >_> ~

[Mangrale]

I'll try and get a post out sometime either tomorrow or on Monday.

[Mangrale]

I imagine I had jumped the gun with that last one. If you'd like me to rework it, just let me know.

[Noodles]

Going to post on later, no worries about tht, just busy with visiting my grandpa's grave last week

Edit: had that post jotted out from the start, didn't have much chance to write it out. Sundays are the busiest day of the week >_>

Basically what happens on nxt post

Summary:
Ares was weakened defense, Athels signals the whole team to end him with one strike.

His regen is bypassed, but only one quarter of his HP is down.

The pursuit of their original enemies and the warchief silence on Azumi ended that charge, Athel scurried back to Varen

"You're alive, what a surprise~ This will be my last card, so on my signal, raise your spear~"

Athel doesn't give a crap to Varen's injury/kicked Varen to wake him up/etc, all she cares is that he still can move.

Beside Varen, She pulled Ares over with her apprehend when he was distracted with Azumi. And at the same time, she let off the whistle to end Ares in one blow.

[Noodles]

Posted regardless, you can still read the summary above if you're too lazy to read that post ^^

I'm sure Varen would hate Athel after this arc

EDIT: And I finally remembered the name of one of the chars :X

[Mangrale]

Whew, finally got around to it.

What do you mean too lazy to read the post? I read the post. XDD

[Noodles]

took a long time, but posted, enrolled into a technical school & stuffs, last week wasn't my week >_>
