[OOC] Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

[Decimate]

Just in case it's a concern, I'm assuming that you still want to post, Decimate, and wait for you before I write one of my own.

@Dark Jack

Yes. I do plan to post today. I was going to yesterday, but I had something come up and take a lot longer than expected. My post should be up sometime tonight.

[Dark Jack]

Who wants to go next? Maybe you (or Arcturus, rather) has something to add @DrabberRogue?

@Dark Jack

If no one else posts today, Ill probably go tomorrow same as usual.

[rocketrobie2]

I'll also try to get something up tonight!

[Dark Jack]

Update?

[Decimate]

@Dark Jack

Im going to be delayed a bit. A close family friend passed away. 😥

[Dark Jack]

I'm very sorry to hear that. Please take your time.

[rocketrobie2]

@Decimate I'm sorry to hear that as well, hope you and your family/friends are doing well.

[Dark Jack]

Did you still want to post, @rocketrobie2, or are you waiting for Decimate?

I'd also still like to hear from you, @DrabberRogue.

[rocketrobie2]

@Dark Jack Sorry, I didn't get a post up yet. I'm ok with waiting if Decimate has something in the works but if not I'll try to have something up later tonight. I've been having a lot of writers block lately.

[Decimate]

@rocketrobie2

I haven't written yet. I've had a lot of stress this week between the funeral, work, and other IRL stuff. I'm going to try and get something out tomorrow if you don't respond though.

[rocketrobie2]

Sorry again for the wait guys!

[Dark Jack]

I'm sorry, but could you clarify what Nigel is doing? It can read a bit ambigiuously, but from the context I figure he's trying to push the cabinet aside. Is that right?

[rocketrobie2]

@Dark Jack

Yep! Could you tell where it's ambiguous? I just want to know so I can fix it and know for next time. Sorry about that!

[Dark Jack]

Essentially the last paragraph, but I suppose specifically

From his squatting position, Nigel stood up slightly and braced himself against the cabinet.

rocketrobie2

Again, from the context I assumed that it meant that he was trying to push the cabinet, but "bracing" can mean a lot of different things... none of which on their own suggest an effort to move something. On the contrary, actually.

Verb

brace (third-person singular simple present braces, present participle bracing, simple past and past participle braced)

(transitive, intransitive) To prepare for something bad, such as an impact or blow.

To place in a position for resisting pressure; to hold firmly.

(nautical) To swing round the yards of a square rigged ship, using braces, to present a more efficient sail surface to the direction of the wind.

To stop someone for questioning, usually said of police.

To confront with questions, demands or requests.

To furnish with braces; to support; to prop.

To draw tight; to tighten; to put in a state of tension; to strain; to strengthen.

To bind or tie closely; to fasten tightly.

Wiktionary

In short, if read literally it sounds as though Nigel is trying to prevent the cabinet from moving.

[rocketrobie2]

@Dark Jack Ah I see what your saying now. I'll change that! The way I read it in my head he was bracing himself for the push (as I always imagined the cabinets and stuff in bloodborne to usually be pretty big and heavy).

[Dark Jack]

Yeah I get that, and I can (and could) see what you were going for. In order for it to make sense, though, I think bracing and pushing should probably be mentioned as separate, subsequent actions. I've both seen and used that way of expressing it. So he would brace against the cabinet before pushing it.

[DrabberRogue]

Ah, yes! I'm a couple weeks late on the draw, but I would indeed like to make a post. Sorry for the communication delay.

It's about time Arcturus did something...
Also! Regarding the memories of hunters after their blood transfusion, how much does the amnesia affect them? I think I read this being covered somewhere else in the thread, but I wanna double check.

[Dark Jack]

It differs from case to case, so you're pretty much free to decide for yourself how much it affects Arcturus. He can remember as much or as little as you want him to.

[Decimate]

I'll give @DrabberRogue some time to post before stepping up to bat again. I'm kinda stuck at what to put just now till the scene progresses a bit.
