[OOC] The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

[The Angry Goat]

I have plans to continue to exist until an unspecified period of time in the future

[Drakey]

@Lovejoy@shylarah

Oh Semenov...If only Rodion was there. The boy would not have survived.

[shylarah]

@Drakey oh dear

[Drakey]

@shylarah

What can I say, Rodion is a rather jealous, and possibly selfish, guy.

[Drakey]

@Lovejoy

As per usual, I will not be present over the weekend. The unusual part is that I will also not be present on tuesday. :)

[shylarah]

@Drakey Awwww. *clings to*

[CollectorOfMyst]

@shylarah Watch it, Shy. You might get a little too in character.

[deathbringer]

Ok from what i can see im missing character interactions with
Galahad Qaid
Mother Viveca
Father Oren
Father Antonin

Is there anything else I need to do or answer before i get started?

Below for draken. Did you want any changes?

and another round as always, liberties taken get in touch if you want me to make any changes

Father Ilya Bjornlie@Draken
Astraea greatly appreciates Ilya on a professional level. His calculated attitude to war along with his impressive dedication to his own craft reminds her all too much of her own father. His disdain for other people and ego maniacal nature are a less welcome reminder of her childhood. Ignoring her slight father issues Astraea has endeavoured to talk strategy with Ilya many times yet has struggled to make any headway with her colleague who is often far too busy enjoying the smell of his own gaseous emissions to take notice of her opinions. This deep wound to her pride forced her to look deeper at her counterparts work. Upon inspection she noticed he lacks the spontaneity and flair that separate good generals from great generals and so though she is willing to follow the battle plans he draws up like any good soldier she is also eagerly waiting for the day she can step in show her pompous colleague how a real Lanostraen general does it.

@deathbringer

[shylarah]

@CollectorOfMyst Not a chance. =P I'm really not much like her.

[Lovejoy]

Oh god, sorry everyone. Was stuck at work all day and didn't get home until earlier. Will try to have the Lanostre crew's prompt finished soon!

[shylarah]

@Lovejoy I'm working on a post!

[shylarah]

Is it bad that I'm refreshing this every few minutes just to see if there's chatter? x.x I want more chatter.

[CollectorOfMyst]

@shylarah If it were bad, less people would be doing it, no? Hah, but your IC did catch me off guard - I had almost finished my own. Thankfully, little adjustment was required, and honestly? It works out better going after Ziotea.

_{I've begun shortening her name to 'Zio' in my head and honestly it's really hard not to write that every time I have to mention her.}

[shylarah]

@CollectorOfMyst Oh! Sorry, maybe I should have asked. Glad it didn't change much, and glad you think it works better this way. *scurries to read!*

I wonder what she'd think of Zio (zee-OH) as a nickname. I don't know if anyone's ever called her that. Rodion...Iunno, he doesn't strike me as the sort, but we'd have to ask @drakey.

Who won't be around until Monday auuuugh.

[shylarah]

@CollectorOfMyst Love it! Haha, she does indeed mean more than just that it's literally dirty, but really she'd say the same of anywhere iwth people. ^.^;

Out of curiosity, has Oren been to Iddin-Mar before? And do we have any idea why he invited Ziotea and not anyone else (or maybe they just declined to come).

@Lovejoy I feel like this might make it your turn. If you're not writing things for the Lanostran group, that is.

Speaking of! Time zones? I'm EST, and should /probably/ go to bed soonish, but I don't actually have to be up until noon tomorrow and it's only 3:30 am now, so I can get away with another hour or two.

[Lovejoy]

Just sent the prompt to the Lanostran crew, @deathbringer @OppositionJ @vietmyke! Now to get to replying to EVERYONE! :p

I'm also EST. NYC Baby!

[shylarah]

@Lovejoy HOLY CRUD I have a Tsukasa. Though she's a demon. *flailing*

[CollectorOfMyst]

@shylarah Well, from my understanding, there's more than one Omestrian ruin, and he's definitely been to one of them. Iddin-Mar specifically? No.

As for why he invited Ziotea... well, I actually think he's trying to give her a little of what Mother Indira gave him. Obviously, he doesn't have years to pass it all on, so he's trying to convey it with a sight and a few choice words. He probably extended the invite to Viveca as well, but she's doing her own thing.

I do have a few plans I want to fit in. A hollow feeling inside of Oren, from seeing all of what was lost. And basically a repeat of what Mother Indira said to him and Viveca - "Deep within you, there is a flame. Never allow it to go out."

[shylarah]

@CollectorOfMyst ahh, yes, I would like to have Ziotea hear that.

...I can only think her reply is pretty near heretical.

[shylarah]

@Lovejoy I do need to point out that the Lanostrans would have been growing up in a city that had just been conquered. Only Galahad was even born beforehand. Woudl the city really have been thriving by the time they were old enough to form memories of it? Unless this is something unrelated...hmmm~ but it sounds like the majority of Lanostrans accepted the change in power well enough -- or are keeping quiet and biding their time. How paranoid is the Varyan government, anyhow?

In other news I wanna stay up and writ emore but I really do need to go to bed. *cries* See y'all tomorrow.
