[OOC] The Crucible - Winner Take All

[Lugubrious]

<Snipped quote by 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.

@floodtalon

I'd really hate to have to cut our player count even further, Flood. I'm giving you an exception to the ban rule here because I seriously value your continued participation in this RP, and on the chance that the holidays are still keeping you busy, and because you were courteous to respond and apologize, but if you continue to add to your month plus of not participating I'll eventually have to make your absence official.

Posted. If I need to change anything let me know. I was unsure of how exactly to handle the situation I'd been given so I went out on a limb.

Hah. Tree pun.

@Gardevoiran

As a matter of fact, 'Moscow Caliber' is immune to ordinary damage at the moment. If you're curious as to why, we can talk in PMs.

@Lugubrious
I'm assuming because of the nature of "Kno One". Well dang.

Do I need to change what I had in my post to accommodate or can we assume that the crack is there already and Bonesword just was like "hey Charlie made that"?

[Lazo]

Either way, it seems like I should have Mountain Dew react to Bonesword's appearance next time I write.

@Gardevoiran

You should change your post to have the attack be ineffective.

@Lazo

That seems appropriate.

@Lugubrious@ProPro Posted as Motley. Huzzah.

[ProPro]

Aaaaaand she's dead. Well that happened fast. Damn, I was gonna try to intercept that attack too. I guess Runch is gonna have to be pissed at Motley now.

[BCTheEntity]

@Lugubrious So if Erina heads off with Runch over Motley, does that put her under @ProPro's control, or would I retain control over her? Or would @Lazo be put back in control of her? I'm not sure.

@BCTheEntity

Her soul, like Crue's, is now in the possession of Runch, so he retains whatever authority he has over her--not that he could technically stop her from going with Crue. Either way, Propro controls her.

[Lazo]

At this point, the character’s personality and actions have been dictated almost entirely by you two, in a way that pretty much makes her your own. I’d prefer it if one of you two kept her now, though if anyone insists on me controlling her, I could help out with collabs, or simply supplying information about her backstory’s setting or her powers or physiology as necessary.

Now, ignoring what I just said, I think it would be appropriate if she went with Runch. I’m not sure she would be quite as judgmental about what Crue did as BC wrote, at least as I first envisioned her, but she would most likely follow Runch in the split. She’d like the pirate more as a person and would feel he is in more need of help than Crue is, at the very least because he’s still in the running.

[BCTheEntity]

@Lazo@ProPro Thinking about it, I agree with Lazo about her judgementality not being so high. I'm not gonna edit anything now, but I'm kind of envisioning Bend being completely on board with Motley doing what he did for his own reasons, and semi-gradually convincing Erina of the same, if that sounds like an idea to follow through with.

[ProPro]

Hurray! The site isn't dead!

[Lugubrious]

You said it! There's no guarantee it'll stay up and working, but things are looking up. I'll start working on bits of a new post.

[Flood]

Hey I'm sorry, I'm going to have to drop out of this. I've just been incredibly tired lately because of college and stuff, meanwhile this just isn't as fun for me as it used to be. Sorry for wasting so much time, I wish everyone the best of luck though.

@floodtalon

To be honest, I had concluded that was the case some time ago. Hope you find greener pastures elsewhere.

[BCTheEntity]

@Lugubrious Look, I can't keep not doing anything in this with no action taken on my part. I've been in no mood to keep participating, and frankly, I'm not feeling any motivation at all to post as Motley, especially with most other players at the start of things having vanished by now. I don't imagine my dropping out ruins any significant plot points at this stage, anyway; if it matters, I wish you luck in concluding the game appropriately.

@BCTheEntity

If there's nothing I can do to help, then I thank you for your well-wishes, and for playing. I'd look forward to writing with you again some day.

[kapuchu]

Sorry about not having replied yet. Had a bad couple weeks, and haven't had much motivation to do much of anything. I'll try to get something put together soon-ish.

[kapuchu]

Way too long later, and my post is here!
I'll try my best to be quicker from here on out. Sorry!
