The only reason I didn't want the departure and arrival posts to happen at the same time was because there's a lot of uncertainty about who's gonna get there first -- Tatiana, Conrad, or Itzal (if he goes with Paula). Until we see Conrad's post, we've got no idea if you'd arrive before him or not. That's why you'd either need to write only the departure, or wait until we find out if he's going straight there after he breaks off with Dietfried.

If he decides to immediately go there and is using transportation, it's fairly likely he'll arrive first. Perhaps @Snagglepuss89 can give an idea of that himself.

Edit: More or less got confirmation that Itzal's likely going with Paula.

[Snagglepuss89]

@Shoryu MagamiConrad's going to be arriving last, I'm quite certain of it.

[Shoryu Magami]

@Heap241

There's your answer. At this point the only person who might arrive before you is Itzal, depending on when Tatiana heads out in comparison to him and Paula.

[Heap241]

@Shoryu Magami

Since Itzal was the last to post, I guess I'll have to be the one posting next. I'll get her into the car on the way there I guess to give Itzal time to post again with the arrival post.

I don't know that I'll have the time to get it all sorted tonight but I'll try to post tomorrow morning or by the latest tomorrow evening.

[Shoryu Magami]

@Heap241

I'm under the impression that Snaggle's post is coming today/tonight.

With this in mind, the posting order can go Conrad, then Itzal/Paula, then Tatiana.

[Heap241]

@Shoryu Magami

Sounds good! I'll still get my post prepared though. =]

[Shoryu Magami]

Posting order's been established for some of us now:

@Snagglepuss89, then @Shadow007, then @Heap241, in that order. At the same time, @MayLien and @CrazyShadowy will post arrivals at the escort point. It doesn't matter whether they do that before or after the previous three. In theory, Conrad doesn't need to post before Itzal/Paula, but we do need a post before we can do our next collaboration, meaning either Conrad, Lotus, or Henneth need to post.

Escort point arrival people, and those arriving at the state, will specify actual time of arrival.

Status update:

• As of thirteen minutes ago, the thread shifted from 'Apply' to 'Full'. From this point onward, new players attempting to register will be possible, but stricter -- specifically, I won't be making any massive attempts to 'recruit' from this point onward (though I'll still bring it up to people who might be interested), so people'll need to find us on their own or be invited, either by one of you or through conversation with me. At any rate, player characters can still be registered until we reach a specific plot point, and this includes multiple characters from the players who we already have (who will, as stated previously, get priority over new players). Once we reach a specific plot point, registering player characters will be completely off the table to everyone, but do keep in mind that this won't forbid you guys from registering NPCs -- the 'card bearers' specifically will no longer be creatable once we reach that plot point.

@Heap241

Just letting you know the Itzal/Paula collaboration's going well.

Posts we've gotten recently from people've been good, and it's nice to see things moving closer to the main phase. As it stands, we're waiting for Henneth and Lotus to arrive at the escort point and encounter Lucia. In a few days time, Itzal and Paula will end up being the first ones to make it to the estate itself, followed by the next post by Tatiana. I'm still waiting for Karlita and Rein in order to move forward with Leonard's side of things -- whichever of them posts first doesn't matter too much, in my eyes. Conrad and James still have a while until their posts need to come in, which presumably won't happen until after Charlotte and Olivia go to the escort point.

Anyway, I don't really have any major updates to mention or anything. I've honestly been contending with some heavy depression for the last ten hours, so I don't expect to do much on my end until the melancholy settles. Hopefully it'll be gone when I wake up next, at the latest, but I won't be sleeping yet.

[Floch]

Same here. Anyways, good ol' Lightning God here will deliver.

[Shoryu Magami]

@Indra

No problem. I'll take a look as soon as it's ready.

[Shoryu Magami]

@MayLien

Lotus needs to post before Henneth does. We've discussed what time Henneth would arrive, and if Lotus is arriving no later than 1:00 AM then she's there first. So yeah, when you post, just make sure you include your arrival time and also factor in that Lucia is already sitting on a bench outside the hotel that everyone needs to meet at.

@Shoryu Magami Is it too late to join? I missed this while it was fully open, and I would like to take part.

Short answer:

No, it's not too late.

[JaceBeleren]

Awesome.

[Shoryu Magami]

@JaceBeleren

Yeah, while I did post up regular (at least once every six hours, for about a week), status bar posts regarding the time limit slowly decreasing, I understand that not everyone likely saw them despite how many there were. The shift from 'Apply' to 'Full' was to establish that it's time to move forward. Once we move forward to a specific point, it'll close completely.

[Shoryu Magami]

@JaceBeleren

Oh yeah, if you've got any questions, either PM or the Discord channel for the role-play. The opening post of the OOC and my signature both include a link to the latter of those.

Appearance

Synopsis

Mathew is intelligent and driven, but extremely arrogant. All that most people want to know about him is that he was born rich - that is, they don't want to know that, but once they find out they don't care to learn any more. His family own one of the huge stately homes that dot England, one of the few that aren't used as museums now, anyway. Having that kind of background has lead Mathew to be quite old-fashioned. His home was one in Oxford, and he attended the university there, studying ancient literature and arts. Not just attending Oxford, but also doing relatively well there, further increased his arrogance. He generally likes to get into arguments, often simply to show himself to be more intelligent than the other person, though whether that proves anything is the opinion of those present. Whether or not he thinks himself more intelligent, though, he generally is. His arrogance is atronomical, but at least he has a good reason to think so much of himself.

Notes

• Mathew has a lot of experience in both horseriding and fencing, two things which his old-fashioned family believed he should know how to do. He likely brought both his horse (named Atalanta, after the Greek mythological character), and a matched pair of rapiers, to Lucifer's estate (He would not carry them with him - they are not very suitable for any form of combat except fencing. He would have them in an expensive case somewhere.).
• Having studied ancient literature at Oxford, Mathew is extremely knowledgable on that subject. He has also written a little poetry, though nothing escpecially famous.

@Shoryu Magami This good? If it is, I'll get to work on the private CS.
