[OOC] Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

[Lucius Cypher]

Sorry commander, after Fallen as to wrap this up, I didn't think I should have involved too many people. Plus I wanted to involve those who didn't really get much of a chance during the previous collab, though I should have just called all of you anyways.

Regardless, that would be the last collab for the Battle of the Dinning Hall. Currently me and the GM's are still trying to get something akin to a "Climax" finished, but with Fallen stuck on her phone and Rtron more or less MIA, it's slow going. I'm hoping we'll get something finished by Wednesday, but otherwise I will be forcing along the plot by Friday at the latest.

You're free to have your characters interact with each other for the moment. It's not mandatory for you to have to keep fighting off the demons; for all intents and purposes, the teachers have taken notice of the elite Demons and are personally dealing with them, allowing all of you some breathing room. I wouldn't head back to your dorms just yet, but if you want to retreat to the back of the Dinning Hall to nurse your wound, or deal with a few of the more petty demons, do what you wish.

And while the future is still fairly murky, I'd like to know what your characters will be doing after the event is over. Both short term (Within a week) and long term (Within a few months or so). Things like training, treasure hunting, relationship building, etc. It's all hypothetical of course, and if you have some ideas that you might be unsure of feel free to PM the GM's.

Well, you should know what I want to do with Meirin. I was hoping that she could return to her home for a visit and, well, you know how that's going to turn out. Ability development wise, I guess she'd just keep improving her Weaving magic, so I'll need to ask Fallen what Meirin would be capable of by than. I'll also be willing to have Meirin become closer to some others, if anyone is interested. I was thinking that if she went back to her home, she'd take some friends with her. I imagine that the world is going to be a bit more dangerous with demons around now.

[EliteCommander]

Well, I have a question. Will we have a chance to RP the immediate aftermath of the battle after all demons are cleared, or will it be an immediate timeskip?

Hmm.... I would like to RP a little bit on the aftermath, yes. Given the state of things, I want Lucilia and Tyrael to immediately set about increasing the defenses of the college. But I will say that the window of opportunity would be rather small. If we get the climax finished by Friday, I'd give you all a week to RP out the aftermath on your own. After that however, we will likely timeskip as planned. I'll have to talk to Fallen and Rtron more about it later, but it's certainly something I'd like to do.

Yes, now with Kudd's increased influence on the Mortal World, demonic activity will be increased. Mostly it will be around the Djarkel Area since the Veil there is weak and the Ravine Presence is the strongest there, however other parts of the world will have their fair share of demon problems as well. Keep that in mind as you all decide how you want to develop your characters; while there will always be a human threat in the future, most of your enemies will likely be demons. A lot of them, of different types, strengths, and weaknesses. Due to their vast variety, there will likely be at least one who can exploit your current weaknesses or are immune to your strengths. Thus I would suggest that you might want to pay a visit to either Lucilia for demon-slaying equipment, or Tyrael for intel on what you're going to face. Or you know, whatever else you want to do.

@ Ryonara: Right now all three of your magics are at novice level, when the skip happens (if I remember my notes right, I'll look at them tomorrow to be sure) then one of her magics will be high novice- low intermediate. Meaning everyone will be able to cast stronger magic then they have but the stamina is low. You've got the power and able to cast intermediate type spells but not quite the stamina or total control. Which means while you can cast it, doing it too much at that level wi take it's toll but you can easily keep doing novice power spells for much longer. If that made sense...>_>

@Elite: we can have a small time skip, something I was considering after Cross's request and might do it the same way as before. If it starts to lag for too lag like 4-5 days without a post or OOC chatter about a collab update, then we time skip a big time. However that is up to Lucius and Rtron as I'm currently indisposed of for a few days possibly with very limited access to the net.

(And now sees Lucius has beat me to it and I agree with it. I think it's reasonable.)

Maybe she could take Lyris for some reason or another XD.

[Frettzo]

Short term, Coco will be tending to the plants around the cottage, where she sleeps. Not sanitary to leave them to rot like they are at the moment. Liam will be inwardly freaking out and outwardly likely chasing some tail to calm himself.

Long term, at the tiniest sign of spring, Coco will set out for the Great Tree, likely to be gone for a few weeks while she travels and shares her experiences with the Tree. Liam will stay at the College and learn how to control his Herbamancy.

[WitchChild]

I´ll see about a post today.

If she wants to come, Lyris can tag along. I will warn you though, there will be some fighting going on.

[EliteCommander]

I think it might be time to start dealing with Dirssi right after the timeskip. She would have no real choice but to wait while the college is in disarray and recovering, but she wouldn't wait forever.

[Leon5431]

Hey guys so I am back from California, had a great trip and really managed to get my mind off of things and take a break from a lot of stressful things. Now I am back home and will be posting shortly.

[Luna]

Hello everyone

Mar: (I can't reveal everything as some is plot related)
Short term- learning to coop with her banishment, her magic, improving her combat skills, and likely establishing connections.

Long term- learning to coop with being a mother for a hybrid and trying to adjust to having more human emotions.

Khan:

Short term- cleaning up the mess of this latest event and establish missions/job for the countries.

Long term- learning to be an Archmage, taking on greater responsibilities, and trying to keep the College as neutral as possible.

Lyn:

Short term- growing up. (And yea, it won't take long.)

Long term- trying to unite humans and Naga races into harmony, draw connections to all the PCs.

[Ryonara]

For Meriin, her short term goals right now will just be helping the college repair from the damage, maybe get to know her fellow students more. In the long term, she's going to keep improving her Weaving Magic, obviously. Though I do plan to have her visit her old home at some point, once I figure out the details and exactly how I'll get her to do that.

[EliteCommander]

For Ssarak, short term he is going to keep with the private lessons while trying to deal with the situation with Dirssi. I'm guessing after the timeskip will be the time to deal with that. Long term...I'll get back to you on that.

I should probably post now, if I can stay connected to the site. It has been going down a lot for me.

[EliteCommander]

In my post, can I assume the teachers have taken on the elite demons and the battle has taken a turn for the better, or has that not happened yet?

[Fallenreaper]

I have no problem with it so feel free.

[Lucius Cypher]

Sites wonky as hell. Has something to do with all the accounts that the site has to keep track of. We're told to browse the advertisements to help alleviate the lag.

But anyways, yeah, the teachers are dealing with the elite demons now. While the fighting isn't over, it's certainly slowing down. Elites are getting killed off, demoralizing the demons while also increasing the confidence of the guards. So keep your guard up, but as I said, you're free to have your characters take a breather. No more demons breaching into the Dinning Hall, and if you want to fight you'd have to join the guardsmen line.

[Pyromania99]

I'm supposing Lyris is

Short Term: Maybe help with reconstruction. Otherwise resting.

Long Term: She has no obvious plans other than practice her magics and read.
