[OOC] The Absent King

[Errant Son]

@Thortimer It's Blackwall. Which is an awesome name, right?

[Thortimer]

@Errant Son Just can't find the right avatar, eh?

[Life in Stasis]

Just reminding everyone (and myself) that the post rounds include Errant Son, Thortimer, ZB1996, Culluket, and me. We're a bit low at the moment until JJ returns from Russia and FW gets an operational computer.

I'll be able to post another round for all but Cull once ZB posts. I guess I should stop calling them the Ytharien since only Juna is still a member.

[Errant Son]

@Thortimer some of them look good but look really weird in avatar format. :p

[ZB1996]

@Life in Stasis

I'll have a post up by tomorrow.

[Life in Stasis]

Awesome, thanks for letting me know. Helps me plan things.

[Life in Stasis]

Sorry I thought he registered as Raptor. Fireball XL5 will be joining our RP in the next scene. He'll have to wait a few rounds, but he's an old friend of mine. He'll be lurking in the shadows, watching.

[Errant Son]

@Life in Stasis Apology accepted. (No just kidding. Nothing to apologize for.) Glad to have someone else with us.

Will the plot advance today?

[Life in Stasis]

ZB said he'd post, and I can move the scene along for you guys. I imagine it'll take a few rounds for this scene to close. Could be a few days or a week or more, but that's just a rough estimate. Depends.

[Errant Son]

@Life in Stasis I was thinking a Thortimer post would be in order before we advance too far but he could do that in the next post too I suppose. I'll await patiently.

[Life in Stasis]

Oh that'd be fine too! I'm not going to micromanage.

[Errant Son]

It wouldn't matter much I think. I usually RP'd under a 'whoever feels like posting, posts' basis so this is all new for me.

[Life in Stasis]

Posting order was pretty strict in my day. I mean kind of. I remember one night where like 3/4 of us just kept posting and everyone else was taken aback in the morning. So man I have no idea. This is new to me too. You're all more well versed at this than me, probably.

If I did post though, it'd just be to move the evil bugs around and make hissing noises or whatever, not to move the scene forward.

[Thortimer]

@Life in Stasis Yeah, I was guess there'd be a little bit of bug movement before I post next. Wondering what that bug mage is gonna do.

[Errant Son]

@Thortimer I DON'T KNOW BOUT YOU BUT YOU BEST WORRY NOT ABOUT THAT BUG BUT ABOUT THE ELF SHOOTING AT GAWAIN GOD DAMN

[Life in Stasis]

Hadn't anticipated that.

[Thortimer]

This is madness! Madness, I say!

[Life in Stasis]

Quick reminder that pistols in this game aren't typically quickfire weapons. They look like this. They're cumbersome, front-loaded, and can only be fired once before needing to reload. They're used as adjunct weapons to swords, bows, etc. Fortunately for Gawain, they're also wildly inaccurate outside close range.

Lothren spent an entire scene loading his arquebus before he made a move to use it. I can say that Juna had this pistol preloaded before she took it from her vest and fired, but keep in mind that we're not just carrying glocks around.

[Thortimer]

Aw, no turret pistols? xD

[ZB1996]

@Life in Stasis

I hope I didn't imply I had a multi-shot pistol, since that wasn't my intention. I didn't expect to mortally wound Gawain. Maybe scare him.
