[OOC] The Dust: Relaunch

[Antediluvixen]

@Darcs

If you google image search you'll find other copies so I would assume not.

[Arcanaut]

@ArcanautWait did you draw that?

@Darcs

That would imply I have any sort of talent. No, that's Snow White from the comic Fables.

[TheMadAsshatter]

Frickin' frickity frick, real life is a pain in the ass!

[Antediluvixen]

@TheMadAsshatter

Also the sky is blue, water is wet, and so on and so forth.

[Darcs]

@TheMadAsshatterReal life's pretty great dude did you know there's going to be a fourth installment in the Fallout series?

@Arcanaut Oh! She looks different than in the game...

[Antediluvixen]

@Darcs

How could he not?

[Darcs]

I don't know, it's a pretty obscure game, I'm actually surprised you've heard of it.

[Arcanaut]

I don't know, it's a pretty obscure game, I'm actually surprised you've heard of it.

@Darcs

Is it obscure? Tell Tale got a lot of publicity after doing The Walking Dead game. Anyway the reason why she looks different is that like many long running comics, the artists tend to rotate, especially when it comes to cover art. What you see in the game is her most consistent look.

[Antediluvixen]

@Arcanaut

Fallout 4.

[Darcs]

@Arcanaut Mmm.

I've actually seen a bunch of Fables comics at one of the big comic stores Athens, like compilation of the entire series big, and briefly considered getting into them, but I dunno, something turned me off. I'm a huge Tell Tale fan, and love TWD comics and games, so I'm sure it's a good adaption, since I like the Fables games, but I feel like I may not appreciate the genre as much without the level of autonomy the game gives me, esp since with TWD it's a new cast that links to the pre-established canon...

But nah, I don't think it's obscure. But I could totes see people being fans of the Fables games and not the comics.

Like, I'll stick to building up my She-Hulk collection for now.

@Monochromatic Rainbow Never heard of it. Sounds like garbage. I'd rather just watch Mad Max.

[Antediluvixen]

@Darcs

Why do that?

Play DOOM and TF2 clones.

[Lightning Fast]

@Monochromatic Rainbow

Did somebody say TF2? :D

(Also I will soon be returning from my glorious conquest of Corsica. So expect me to be open for collabs and stuff.)

[Antediluvixen]

@Lightning Fast

Cool.

[Darcs]

Should we like, reopen the interest check?

[Syben]

@Darcs No. I have been lurking, watching, waiting. I see no hope for this.

[Antediluvixen]

@Aeonumbra

The interest check or the whole RP?

[TheMadAsshatter]

I can still do the collab and stuff.

[Syben]

The Whole RP. Not just because of lack of activity, because that is certainly a problem. But also because of my life, I've been working, a lot. There's talk of making me a key holder (manager) at work, which means 10+ hours a day, five days a week. Right now I'm only doing about 25-30 hours, but I have very little time to come here and goad and push people to post and get things done, I have hardly any time to write any lore, and my timeframe is the exact opposite of those who want to collab with me. On top of my outside life duties, like helping my best friend pay a phone bill, or the friend that can't pay a traffic ticket and is likely to go to jail and really just wants to kill herself, and a whole shitstorm of drama I'm helping said friends sort through before they do anything rash or drastic because believe me, I know depression, I struggle with it myself. Which is another thing.

There's very little time in my day left to be on my computer, and I may just take up to freely writing a story on my own time instead of trying to GM a world and a crew and try to keep order and regulation, that nobody is following anyways despite the amount of effort and love I have put into this. I haven't been gone for these past couple of weeks, I've been here, reading and watching, just lurking, gauging the activity of our little community. Though highly disappointing, I feel with enough time and dedication, it could be resolved, or a better system worked out, but I no longer have that privilege of time.

Lately the only way to fight my crippling depression is to get out of this house; out of the stifling loneliness of my room; out of the frustrating reach of my mother; or the incredibly fed-up disappointment of an older brother I have. It's come to the point in my life where I can no longer be alone for too long, and unfortunately you guys are going to get the raw-end of this predicament. I have, however given it a lot of thought and consideration. So let me be clear–

I am stepping down from Dust, for the many reasons I have stated above. It is something I have to do to better myself, to retain my mental health and stability, and my drastic decrease in freetime. This was not a brash decision brought on by some melancholic thought. Yet, it would be a shame to see such a thing go to waste. Therefore, I will like to offer spiritual leadership of The Dust to either @Darcs or @Monochromatic Rainbow, should either of them wish to manage it. Otherwise, I do not feel anybody else is quite capable of continuing this roleplay. If the passing of the baton is accepted, I will pass along all information. Should you wish to hear the many ideas and explanations I have for things, I will do my best to pass along those thoughts too when I have the time, or simply start a new, breed your own ideas and thoughts and workings.

Thank you all for such a fun run, You have my sincerest apologies that my life has gotten in the way of our writing outlet. There are just other things that I must do.

[Antediluvixen]

@Aeonumbra

O.o

Um

Um

So like

Um

I'mma just go and discuss this with Darcs, but I'd wager that either one of us would be willing to take control, or do some shared co-gm thing or something.

[Arcanaut]

@Aeonumbra It's a shame to see you go, but real life obviously takes priorities. Stay safe, stay healthy, stay sane.
