[OOC] The Crucible - Winner Take All

[Lugubrious]

Once again, my apologies. I'm more or less free from attention-compromising concerns at the time being, and I will endeavor to reply on an individual or two-person basis for those who put out responses quickly, so that the pace of the smaller fights can increase.

If you have questions about foes I'm throwing your way, do not hesitate to ask.

@Lugubrious@ProPro Fiiiiinally posted as Motley. Once again, I apologise deeply for the delay; my procrastination knows no bounds at times. That said, what I plan to do with Erina is have her make her way to a location where she can get the drop on the Thule siblings, and then make a sneak attack to try and kill at least one of them a little ways down the line. This will happen in... let's say "a few rounds of posting", assuming nobody tries to go for Erina in that timeframe. Keep errbody on their toes, right?

[ProPro]

So Runch is just unceremoniously tossed into the water and that's it? No chance to react at all? No attempt to dodge or recover or produce a new platform to catch him? I get that he can't see the attacks, but he still knows what she can do and seeing her point right at him is certainly cause to say, "Maybe I should veer right." I guess I have nothing to post then, until either Motley or Erina dives in to save him.

@ProPro

No, I said that the missile's large (and thus powerful) enough to do that, not that it did that. What actually happens is up to you. My apologies; I get how my phrasing would leave what happens open to misinterpretation, and will try to beat around the bush less in the future.

[ProPro]

Hm. Very well, I can accept that explanation.

A second later the remainder of the missiles exploded at his feet, the palm-missile in particular large enough to render his raft asunder with its explosion and send the devil fruit-eater into the drink.

Still, my preferred action would have been to throw out a grape shot of cereal pellets to intercept the missiles ahead of time, but I can still work with this as it is. My apologies for the passive aggressive tone of my last post.

@Lugubrious@ProPro Just posted as Motley. Huzzah, and so on.

[ProPro]

Gonna try to get an update out on this bad boy sometime this weekend.

[Lugubrious]

It's been a rough week or two, but it's been too long since I've posted. I'll be able to put up a full-length post tomorrow night.

[ProPro]

I hope whatever has been making things rough is over with, or at least doing better. :)

@Lugubrious
Hey so... I'm a bit lost for who Bonesword's next opponent is... who would that be?

@Gardevoiran

That would be Pithy.

Somehow I didn't realize you changed your name, so your mention escaped my notice. My bad.

[ProPro]

@Lugubrious@BCTheEntity I'll be looking at getting Runch posted for at lunch, hopefully. Unless something comes up in the meantime, anyway.

@Roughdragon1 It's been a month since you posted with Malveil. Just thought I'd poke you, since my side character is currently following him.

[Roughdragon1]

@ProPro I apologize for basically ghosting this rp, but now that I'm on break I should have some time to post in the following days.

[Roughdragon1]

I'll be completely honest here: I'm in a pretty dark place right now, so I won't be posting for a while. Feel free to do whatever with my character.

[Lugubrious]

Happy new years to you all!

I'll be putting out a small update in short order for Gardevoiran, Lazo, and anyone else that gets a post up in the next day or so.

[Lugubrious]

@BCTheEntity, @FloodTalon, I would like a post from both of you within the next three days.

[ProPro]

@Lugubrious Oh snap, I had completely forgotten about the bit the journal mentioned about asking for help! But it works, because Runch definitely wouldn't have remembered at this point. Or rather, he'd have believed the danger was over. So it's a good progression. On a separate note, is there anything you'd like to do with my side character, since Roughdragon has announced his dropping out?

@ProPro

I've been thinking about it, but I'm not sure what to do with him. Perhaps we can discuss what you have in mind with him in a PM.

@Lugubrious

Sorry, holidays have been pretty busy for me and my laptop is on the fritz. Will try for something in the next three days.

[BCTheEntity]

@Lugubrious@ProPro I finally posted. I apologise for taking so long.
