[OOC] Broken Skies

[TheMerlin]

Yeah, definitely need one if my incomplete post is any indication. Took 2 days just to write that much. Felt like trying to squeeze blood out of a rock.

[deia876lat]

Is it just the writing or is it the sense of obligation? (writing/escapism should be enjoyed, it shouldn't be a chore)
If you need help or just a listening ear...just know you can always ask.

[TheMerlin]

Thanks, but there's nothing to worry about. Every once in a while, I just need to take a bit of a break to avoid burning myself out and I've been there before, so I know the signs. Anyways, I've finished my post now so I'll brb in a week. As promised, you and omni can keep posting if you like, and I think a few days timeskip after the battle shouldn't be a problem for the hospital scene. Lemme know if there's anything you want cleared up for whatever reason.

[deia876lat]

Initial first reaction: Smile "You Motherfucker..." I shouldn't swear, but it seems apt.

(Do you want Belisio to fall?) Cause only Nena en Tyr are left standing...poor Arn, Leo and Eilis are going to be in the hospitable wing. Characterwise speaking of course.

[TheMerlin]

XD exact kind of reaction I was hoping for. You can leave Leo out btw, he'll be there at the hospital but probably in a different area. I like omni's idea of mages being treated with special care due to their powers, so let's say they have their own dedicated space.

[Omni5876]

I'll post something today or tomorrow.

[deia876lat]

There the first of Tyr's posts. He'll be in trouble for this, comes with the position after all. Also @TheMerlin it might be fun for Nena to meet the Knight Captain through either meeting him when he's going to check up upon Arn later or when she overhears the berating he is going to receive.

@Omni5876Omni you can go ahead and let Arn wake up at the sickbay.

[TheMerlin]

Nena's only job on the ship is to keep the skies clear or counter enemy casters if they show up, so just treat her as part of the scenery if Tyr comes up to the bridge for whatever reason. If it's worth mentioning, she'll be looking pretty tired from the battle, but I guess everyone else would be too.

[deia876lat]

All right... I'll keep that in mind.

[TheMerlin]

That's if it gets to that point before my break is over, I forgot to say. Otherwise, never mind what I said, I think it'd be a fun idea too.

[Omni5876]

I will take both of your advice and try to flesh out more of the Shooting Stars and perhaps mages at least by Arn's point of view. needless to say I can edit anything that does not seemt o fit with the Lore or direction already created.

One question though. I had assumed that the Viemiese were more like the Kamera rouge or perhaps soviet Russia in their conquest mentality. Yet as I read it, it sounds more like a setting of the 100 year war between England and France. So are the Viemese not truly evil just as the Belisians are not completely saints? It might help in the future when describing NPC interactions etc.

[Omni5876]

@deia876lat how much time has passed? If I read the post correctly, the aid was part of refugees. I am assuming enough time has passed that they have been processed and reassigned or at least delivered somewhere?

[deia876lat]

Yes, for the initial attack, however you can assume their basically can take their time, though this should be in a good couple of hours after, but they'll have some time according to TheMerlin since the Hearthguard will be taking over defense of the kingdom.

[TheMerlin]

Sorry for the radio silence guys, it's like the moment I took a break from posting was the moment irl got more hectic. Christmas, what can I say. Anyways, to answer your question on the Vaimese @Omni5876, each side considers the other as the evil villain. The reason for the Belisians is clear, the Vaimese are invading their lands, but the reason for the Vaimese doing so will be revealed later. All I can say for now is that yes, the Vaimese are not truly evil as the Belisian are not completely saints.

[Omni5876]

@deia876lat Arn is WTFing right now lol

[deia876lat]

Yeah, that was the whole point of doing that.

Also Arn better be prepared to have his life turned upside down. Considering Eilis doesn't easily trust anymore, so depending on how far this will go Arn is able to gain her trust.

@deia876lat

aw shuks

[TheMerlin]

So it's been a week now and I managed to do nothing that I said I would, but at least I don't have to work until next Tuesday so I'll have that much time to work on the lore and new interest check thread. Guess I can do that in between posts. I kind of don't want to interrupt what's going on between Arn and Eilis atm though, so don't wait on my account guys. I'll try to post tomorrow but as far as those two are concerned, just pretend I'm still on my break.

[deia876lat]

I am going to need you for Tyr anyway, so maybe Nena can walk after him.

[Omni5876]

I will try to post something soon. I will have to be silent a little for this Xmass break have family coming over.
