[OOC] Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

[Dark Jack]

I'll take the deafening silence in response to my inquiry about who was next in the clinic scene as an unanimous agreement that no one wants to post. I'll move things ahead in that scene soon, then, under the presumption that no characters do anything.

Sorry for taking so long, I was waiting to see if @Habibi359 would post a response.

@Bartimaeus Yo I got round to making that collab I talked about a billion years ago. Feel free to pick up where I left off. If you want, @Dark Jack, you could also contribute and have a more organic back-and-forth with Bart. Either way, here it is:
Night of the Hunt - Encounter with the Demon of Hemwick

[Dark Jack]

Sorry for taking so long, I was waiting to see if @Habibi359 would post a response.

@Th3King0fChaos

This, right here, is why I asked, and the main reason that one of the rules listed in the OP reads:

Communicate. If there is any doubt as to which player is the next to post, please address this doubt OOC as soon as possible; ask if the other player intends to post rather than waiting to see if they will. In fact if you have questions in general, don't hold back: a question asked is potentially a mistake avoided.

OOC OP, rules section

This isn't intended as a personal attack on you, Th3King0fChaos, and I don't want it to come across as such, but I have been trying to keep a discussion as to who is going to post when since the RP began exactly to avoid this kind of problem. It's not just that you didn't ask whether Habibi wanted to post first, but also that no one else reacted to the question; as I mentioned before, all I got in response was deafening silence. In my experience, this kind of confusion is one of the most common causes of inactivity in RPs, because people are so prone to just wait and see rather than actually try to plan things out and get things moving.

I don't want to seem unreasonable, but I also want this RP to do well, part of which is to keep it active rather than in a state of everyone waiting for each other. So if it's not too much to ask, can we please agree that from now on, if you're in doubt, you ask? This is addressed to everyone, obviously.

And finally, at risk of repeating myself: does anyone in the clinic scene want to post before I move things forward a bit?

[Th3King0fChaos]

@Dark Jack Sorry about my lack of communication. I'll work on it. I understand it's not a personal attack, just the target as I was the one to say it.

But yeah, unless someone else posts something I need to react to I am ready for them to break the door down and for everything to go Doom Eternal.

[King Cosmos]

I don't have any plans of posting again at the moment.

[Bartimaeus]

@Ashgan@Dark Jack Wrote my bit for the collab.

[DrabberRogue]

Not much has happened since I last posted, so I haven't the need to post again at the moment.

[Dark Jack]

I wrote a bit for the collab as well.

What about you, @Habibi359? Do you want to post, or shall I move things forward?

[Habibi359]

I think I'll let you move things forward.

[Th3King0fChaos]

Oh dear god...I think I need a bigger axe.

[Habibi359]

Made a post. Action ensues.

I have to apologize my lack of activity as of late and the harm I have caused with that. I have realized that I've succumbed to a burnout and that has affected my personal life on few fronts, this RP being one of them to take a hit. I have now taken steps to give myself more spare time on my time out of work. I kind of saw the symptoms two weeks ago and I thought I could manage. I didn't. This is not an excuse for the radio silence though. I could've communicated earlier about this but I didn't and for that I'm sorry. I plan to do better in future.

[Bartimaeus]

Wrote my bit in the collab @Dark Jack@Ashgan

[Dark Jack]

That's quite all right, Habibi. Better late than never and such similar sentiments, but actually it hasn't been too long since we heard from you, even if I was somewhat bothered by not getting a yes or no on my question before. In any event I'm sorry that you've been in a bad place and I'm pleased to hear that you have taken measures to get better.

EDIT: Also added a paragraph to the collab.

[Bartimaeus]

@Dark Jack I believe there is a small mistake in the collab - Raine grabbed the creature’s left arm that wasn’t wielding the saber. Not sure if you overlooked it or not but I imagine it’d want to be addressed if so

[Dark Jack]

Hmm?

This maneuver being a well-practiced and surprisingly quick one, he could afford to perform it with just the one arm, as the other struck out in an attempt to grasp the beast’s bicep, due to their now very close proximity.

I presume this is what you're referring to... which seems fairly inconsequential compared to everything else? I mean, I'll edit what I wrote to acknowledge that Raine did this, but it doesn't change anything. Raine holding the creature's biceps would at most prevent it from moving its forearm, but wouldn't affect its ability to move its arm past the elbow.
Regardless, a small alteration has been made to the paragraph.

[Bartimaeus]

Coolio. Wrote my bit x3

[Dark Jack]

New bit for the collab. Contrary to how it might seem, the inclusion of Victor just now wasn't reactionary; I had actually planned it for a while. Still, there it is.

[Th3King0fChaos]

I'm right now waiting to post after people pin the arm to the floor.

Once that happens I shall do as the axe does, chop them down

[King Cosmos]

Just to let everyone know I've come down with a bout of the flu, so I'm unlikely to post in the next few days as I wait for this headache to leave me alone.

If anyone is waiting on me to post it's probably best if you just skip me, or if it's been a few days with no progress just assume Joseph used his spear to pin the arm down.
