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

[Lovejoy]

@shylarahI’d say Lanostre is more of a vassal state than a conquered territory. Since the Goddess willingly surrendered, the hostilities ceased and Lanostrans are considered full citizens of the empire. So, it’s been allowed to retain its culture and customs. There is peace between the two nations but there are certainly some Lanostrans who aim to restore their kingdom to power, Astraea’s parents being prime examples.

The capital city is still how it was before the war, except there is a garrison of Varyan soldiers stationed there. Currently, they’re the only ones left in the city, since most of the Lanostran soldiers were shipped off to fight in El.

[shylarah]

@Lovejoy ...man that must have been a HUGE fleet... O.O

[Lovejoy]

@shylarah I should clarify, most of the Lanostran soldiers in Lanostre were sent. There are still tons of them left in the empire itself. The armada was pretty big but it’s not like Lord Varya sent all or even most of his armies to El. After all, steam arms are a relatively new advancement in naval tech and they don’t have an unlimited number of them to send out yet.

Gods my heaaad. Allergies suck. x.x

[shylarah]

I wanna post again but I gotta wait.

Also @lovejoy I may have found us a fire titan. Just in case. I've some other pics, too, but this is one I just stumbled on.

Edit: You could just click the link, y'know, Myst. =P

[CollectorOfMyst]

@shylarah You forgot to put on the end tag.

[Lovejoy]

@shylarah Oo, I'll keep it in mind. :p

Working on some replies right now.

[CollectorOfMyst]

@shylarah Yah, I know - but the website thought I was a bot.

[shylarah]

@CollectorOfMyst ...are you a bot?! =P

@shylarah I am impressed.

@CollectorOfMyst@Mercenary Lord Yeah I'm not sure how impressive it is when I just have decent google-fu. =P

As for not revealing oneself, well...*shrug* Although there /are/ automated messages that will laugh to start, tell little jokes, use common lingo -- and assure you they're not actually recorded, they're just required to stick to a script! But I can tell because the sound quality is a little different, and usually the spoken rhythm and emphasis changes for real people even when repeating things. For recordings it doesn't.

BUT ALL THE SAME! IT DENIES BEING A BOT!

[CollectorOfMyst]

@shylarah Well those are just plain annoying.

[shylarah]

@Lovejoy AHAHA Ragnar <3 poor kid. Then again, he /is/ nineteen...hormones should be kicking in at some point if they ever are going to.

Also AWWWWR the wolves! ...I'm tempted to say the team should keep them but I know that won't end well at all. Especially with them heading onto a steam ark where the pups will be cooped up. =/

[Lovejoy]

@shylarahAbout to send you and Myst a prompt within the next hour or so!

[shylarah]

@Lovejoy YES! *dances*

[shylarah]

Somehow I didn't ever put Ziotea in the char tab. Possibly because there's a couple relationships that aren't entirely finished. I still need details from @Vietmyke about Galahad, from @Scout about Viveca, and from @Lovejoy about Antonin. ^.^ We should talk! Also, Love, check over the bit about the guy Ziotea nearly killed, please? You too, @Drakey, when you get back.

[Lovejoy]

Hey everyone,

Can I get a quick rollcall and update on your next post? I know most of you are working on stuff (and one or two of you are waiting on me to reply), but there's a few of you who I haven't heard from in a while. So yeah, just thought we should have a quick check in to see where everyone's at.

Thanks.
