[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[Lady Seraphina]

@harinezumikouken Asuras is the name of the replicator home world from Stargate Atlantis. Also a class of divine beings from some eastern mythologies.

[Lugubrious]

@Sho Minazuki I find myself somewhat in alignment with Prince, somehow. If you're here, find a way to post. That's what you're called to do. Benjamin Franklin once said that humans are reasonable creatures because they have the capacity to think of a reason for whatever it is they wish to do. Find one in order to contribute to the RP, and to remain a part of it.

@Harinezumikouken that was a bit of a snide remark, huh?

[harinezumikouken]

@Prince of Seraphs - Th...thank...you?

@Lugubrious - Two things.

First, you're right.

Second, see below image.



Third, I want to make Prince into this RP's memelord.

@Sho Minazuki

If you are still curious as to what to do with Team KNVS, you're mission is essentially done. You team just needs to escape the wildfire they've started, but they could be back at Beacon and doing stuff. Blowing things up and what not.

[Lady Seraphina]

KNVS was never disbanded, dude.

@HereComesTheSnow

My mistake, I thought Varius Gilver was part of team Streusel.

Anyways @Asuras - Be forewarned, if you submit a CS to Prince. Well, Prince is extremely critical. Be sure to ground your character in as much realism and scientific fact as possible.

@harinezumikouken

Scientific fact isn't really necessary as long as certain things aren't justified with the phrase "it doesn't have to make sense cause it looks awesome".

[harinezumikouken]

@Prince of Seraphs - Bookmarked.

So why don't you post IC? It's been a month since we've seen anything from you and that was a post for the senior team that got disbanded. Don't know how long it's been since we saw an actual Jack post.

@Prince of Seraphs

Was I referred to in IC? Was there anywhere he could fit in in IC at this point? Honestly the problem is no one pays him and ultimately me any attention. Yes it sounds whingey and such, but that's just the truth of it. Everyone's gone off ages ago and created their friendship groups, but I was never even considered part of any of them, in fact I was ignored almost completely from the start.

Most people in my position would leave, but fortunately those aren't the main reasons I RP, I like nurturing a character's strength in combat quite a bit so that's why I'm still around.

The reason I'm not posting much? Well... That's because no one seems to want to include me in anything, so I go silent until a new mission begins.

Not to mention my last month has been quite busy, so I haven't had any time to read and try and find a place to insert myself, but considering how much I'm ignored anyways, I don't think it would've made much difference... Unless I put in insane time to do so, but I simply did not have have that for the last month.

[Crimmy]

At some point twenty characters is no different from forty so if a guy wants to join, let the guy join. It's not like you've got anything needing limited numbers, right? Besides, at least you have people who seem interested and willing.

Some RPGs don't even get players.

Also KNVS is still alive and Sho I messaged you on Skype what we wanted to do about the entire forest is on fire thing.

Edit: Like, a while ago. I sent a Skype message. I haven't sent one now because I'm trapped at school despite having graduated.

[Lady Seraphina]

@Prince of Seraphs - Bookmarked.

@harinezumikouken

Oh no, backpedaling, backpedaling, it's not the science of RWBY I have a problem with (as it's sort of out there to begin with) it's when the logic of it is forsaken to increase the cool factor even if it makes zero sense.

[HereComesTheSnow]

that's literally how the universe works though

[harinezumikouken]

@Prince of Seraphs - Mmm....also bookmarked.

@Sho Minazuki - If you want, Esther's not doing much. Other than stealing and consuming souls. Though, it'd be hard to work out why Esther would even be interacting with him vice/versa in the first place. But meh *Shrugs* semantics.

@Crimmy

I think I had a response but forgot to put it in. We'd completed the mission by driving it off at least, it wasn't exactly a destroy mission I believe, so we can pull out?

A lack of forethought.

@Sho Minazuki

I don't know if you've noticed but I've managed to single handedly alienate basically everyone Sapphire has come in contact with except for Oswald and Emerald she's still interacting with people for who all intents and purposes don't like her. The fact that Jack as you say has no friends doesn't mean he can't interact with anyone. We've got a handful of characters that befriend pretty much anyone that comes into their line of sight. You've got Jack teammates who even if they're not "friends" with Jack should still be perfectly valid for interaction. Hell if you just placed Jack into a popular area like the mess hall and asked if anyone was free for interaction you would likely come up with a few possibilities. It's really easy to come up with excuses to not post but that doesn't change the fact that in order to stay part of an RP you have to actually RP.

[HereComesTheSnow]

Two of his teammates are kind of off the coast in a subplot at the moment

[harinezumikouken]

@Prince of Seraphs - In regards to that last paragraph, while Shiro doesn't like Sapphire much there's a lot of potential for further character development there. Just both parties have to show an interest to, and frankly I don't think Sapphire cares too much about the tiger-boy to learn more about him other than his potential weaknesses so that she knows what to look out for as a leader going forward. Instead of caring about him as a person or just...caring in general. To Shiro, Sapphire's a meanie butt and he doesn't like meanie butts but that doesn't mean she isn't considered a friend to him.

@Sho Minazuki - Shiro can be Jack's friend :D

[Abillioncats]

@Prince of Seraphs@harinezumikouken Little did they know that my power comes from nonsense. Nyahahahahaha!

[Lady Seraphina]

that's literally how the universe works though

@HereComesTheSnow

I'm talking about a balance between realism and awesome. There's a thread of that that runs through the RWBY universe and it bothers me rather a lot when people lean too much to the side of awesome without realizing that their character choices should have far reaching effects on how the world functions. But I'm not going to get into that argument again. It just makes people upset.

@Prince of Seraphs - Mmm....also bookmarked.

@harinezumikouken

I have a really bad feeling about this.

@Prince of Seraphs

Indeed, they don't have to be friends to interact, but even my attempts to interact were actually completely ignored, so I've stopped trying ages ago.

See that's just the problem, no matter your argument, the reason comes down to that I was simply IGNORED. At EVERY TURN.

@HereComesTheSnow I'm aware of this. There's little reason for Jack to be there, so that's fine.

@harinezumikouken It's so late it's awkward, but unless we advanced a day, Jack is actually still around the arcade in town.

@harinezumikouken

She'll get their eventually, give her time. Besides, she has to first get through being suspicious of Gren which will likely end in her finding out about his past with the White Fang. Compared to her distrust of the orc Shiro's more like a minor annoyance that only really registers cause he lost her mother's daggers.
