Perhaps not.
It's perfect =D I can't believe I didn't think of this before.

The one you're proposing IC? That's not going to fly.
Don't let your desire to escape this override what your characters would actually do.
<Snipped quote by Legend>
But this is what my characters would normally do.
Rrrrrrgh, I really don't want it to come to this. There's almost no escape for me now within the confines of my characters except the one I want to do the least. I'm going to keep trying to find a way out, but I don't even know if I can.
<Snipped quote by Disdain>
I had no idea this would happen.
<Snipped quote by Legend>
But it did. You accused Nova as a traitor, so what else happens to an alleged traitor? They're expelled or killed. And I can't find a way to fix it. Everything I wanted to do with Nova and Arthur is ruined. I had such exciting plans. But it's clear that even if Nova managed to stay, there would be an enmity against Nova from all the Nobles except my own. She would never be trusted again. I doubt even the wedding would work out.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>
Don't be mad; you don't understand. This is actually better than what I thought would happen. You need to trust me.
<Snipped quote by Disdain>
That is because you didn't have the missing factor. Me.
@Disdain
This wasn't what I intended to happen, but I'll go ahead and tell you then. What you wouldn't like was supposed to be the war between the Nobility and the group, that some would survive and some wouldn't. That's all. And it's going to be fine. But think about it; you're mad because a story, something that's supposed to be analogous to reality, didn't have the most perfect path. I've never given you a single reason to trust me? Put this aside and think back.
<Snipped quote by Webmaster>
I... I just read the IC...
<Snipped quote by Disdain>
My intention of this entire circumstance was to destroy the Almega because it didn't need to be a factor in the battle. When this went awry, I thought that the Nobles separating into two groups could be a good thing, because more lives could be saved during the final battle, and more of their friends could go to the wedding. That's what I was doing.
<Snipped quote by Webmaster>
I don't understand...
<Snipped quote by Disdain>
Don't understand what?
<Snipped quote by Webmaster>
What you're trying to say. The situation you're outlining.
<Snipped quote by Legend>
Don't be mad?! You're not allowed to tell me that! This isn't better! Not for me! Did you even stop for a moment to think about what I would think? Oh, wait, yes, you did--you said I'd hate it, just like you say with every other thing you do to me, and guess what--I do! I just never wanted to say it because I had faith that you'd fix it but you never did. Never. All my characters are literally about to leave the Nobility forever because I don't know what to do! You want me to trust you? You've never given me a single reason to do so! Maybe I had faith in you before, but that's all gone now! This isn't some fake anger, or mellow, temporary frustration--I've never been this angry before in my life! I've never had a reason to, because people didn't let me down! I could have faith in the people I knew to come through for me, so I was never really, truly angry at anyone. Never. But you've changed that. I hope you're happy.
<Snipped quote by Zeal>
So it's your fault too!
<Snipped quote by Disdain>
Splitting into two groups would cripple the Nobility. A weakened organization would lose and surrender much faster, saving more lives than if they fought to the end.
<Snipped quote by Disdain>
Dude, I never know what to do. I just try to figure out a way. Nothing is going to go as planned perfectly. Ever. Unless you control the situation so much that we are just basically reading the arc that our characters are apparently in. That's why my arcs are never linear. Cause I have to adapt. I know a majority what I plan isn't going to happen. So I make steps instead of a path.
<Snipped quote by Webmaster>
I... I see...
<Snipped quote by Zeal>
So did I. I was prepared to adapt to whatever happened, to find a way to let my plans follow through, but I ran out of things for my characters to do. I could only think of one logical way for my characters to go.
So I got mad... Really mad... And... I'm sorry. To both of you. I never should have burst out like that. As my anger grew over the past several hours, I knew that it wasn't going to end well, but I couldn't stop. I felt wronged. Betrayed. And God told me, softly, again and again, "It's okay. You don't need to get angry." But I couldn't stop. I don't even know how else to express my remorse any more. I've felt true anger, and now I never want to feel it again. Especially not to you guys. You don't deserve it.
