[Lovejoy]

@deathbringer Oh hey! Didn't see your last post about the move! Good to hear from you. Take all the time you need. We'll be here.

[Lovejoy]

hey everyone,

sorry for the lack of updates! been in kind of a rut lately. just the usual lack of energy/focus. will try to work on stuff this weekend. :)

[shylarah]

@Lovejoy if you e er need to bounce ideas, I'd behappy to listen.

[Scout]

Hi folks! Friend of Scout's here, posting on his behalf.

He's going to be gone longer than anticipated - probably a month if not more. He just wants to keep everyone here in the loop. He'll try to communicate whenever he can!

[vietmyke]

Sorry I've been awol! My show has concluded and was a great success, now after another few dozen hours of sleep, I'll be raring and ready to write

[shylarah]

@vietmyke MAzel tov! What show did you do?

[Lovejoy]

@The Angry Goat @Draken @Sisyphus

Post should be up tonight/early tomorrow!

[vietmyke]

@shylarah we rewrote and modernized the story of Lac Long Quan - some vietnamese romance legend that is essentially our version of romeo and juliet. Promotes cultural unity and all that jazz.

I was only in like one or two scenes but I helped direct most of it, so humble brag I am definitely proud of myself and what the rest of my actors achieved.

[shylarah]

@vietmyke OH nice! <3 Sounds like it went well. ^.^ Acting is fun, and writing/directing is great! Definitely be proud of it!

[Lovejoy]

Er, make that tomorrow!

[shylarah]

@Lovejoy *eager wiggling*

[Lovejoy]

@The Angry Goat @Sisyphus @draken

Took some liberties! Hope it all works well. :)

Also, I hope I got Hassan right. If you ever come back, Sisyphus, let me know how I did!

Anyhoo, I think I have one more post for this scenario and we'll be done with it. It'll involve Hassan, Stina and Ragnar converging back at the Phoenix compound to discuss certain new info.

[Lovejoy]

@OppositionJ

That was a fun collab! Loved getting to play interrogator and sparring a bit with Tatiana. <3

@vietmyke

Alright, waiting on possibly one more response from you before things proceed. :p

[vietmyke]

Yupper! Expect that tonight

[Draken]

@Lovejoy, I like the plot twist!

Also, can we name one of the remnants Exodia? Because let's be honest - the whole premise is basically Yu-Gi-Oh's Exodia.

[Lovejoy]

@DrakenOh god, you're right... It basically is all Exodia. :o

I'm glad you thought that little twist was cool! I was unsure as to whether to make Ilya's dad or mom the head of the company. I ended up choosing his mom since IIRC, his dad married into the family? Also, hope the name Ophelia fits her. In any case, that lady's got secrets!

Now, I wonder if Ilya is aware of any of this himself. XD

@Draken @Lovejoy @vietmyke

>rub it in Galahad's face

Wait, do galahad and ragnar not get along? I don't think I ever saw the outcome of the discussion as to their dynamic.

HOLY CRUD THIS GIRL. WHAAAAT.

Wait. Dara? I don't remember Kadenza mentioning Dara, nor anyone else mentioning the guy in connection with him. Hmm.

LAdy Bjornlie?! holy crud. I can't believe I missed this post, but I'm reading in now and WOW. Okay, so...hm.

I've no idea why Lady Bjorlie or any of the Bjornlies would want to deal with Dara or anything like that. I'm not even sure if they think it's in the best interests of Magnagrad and/or Varya, or just their company, or if they have other aims entirely.

Regardless, great writing from everyone! <3

~~~~~~

Bah, there's been people broken into pieces before. Exodia was hardly the first. Totally support it being a name, though

[Lovejoy]

@shylarah

Ah, right. I don't think we ever posted this in the OOC, but we discussed Galahad, Tatiana and Ragnar having a sort of Harry, Hermione and Ron style friendship (without the romantic tension, so far). They're the three best magic users in the warband, so they've trained together since childhood and constantly push and rely on each other. Ragnar and Galahad are super close, but there's a rivalry there, with Ragnar constantly wanting to catch up to Galahad. Him saving a group of people is definitely something he's going to brag to him about. Of course, little does he know what Galahad is up to Lanostre. :p

As for Kadenza and Dara, Dragonov mentioned their connection when he first tried to enlist Stina and Hassan into the taskforce.

[shylarah]

@Lovejoy Ah yeah, gotcha. IT's fun to see the little dynamics in a group. Shame Ziotea didn't ever reach out on her own. *kicks her and gets stabbed in return*

...yeah, we'll just let her sulk in the corner. <.<

[vietmyke]

@shylarah Aye, Ragnar and Galahad are very close, but its also a game of constant oneupsmanship around them. Galahad and Tatiana's relationship is a lot more obvious- normally cold and callous Galahad dotes on her, well, about as much as a cold and callous individual could. He's a tsundere. Basically.
