[OOC] The Absent King

[Errant Son]

I should actually play the game sometimes. I watched cr1t1kal play it a bit and it was fun to watch. I'm just judging it based off the fanbase and what I heard from others now, and that's not really fair.

[Thortimer]

@Errant SonIt's a great game if you're into plot and meta story. Gameplay wise, it can get a bit repetitive, especially runs like genocide.

Update from JulienJaden (he tagged me in another thread):

@icmasticc@KingFisher@Sep@Life in Stasis
So, I'm sitting in my bathroom after a 40 hour day featuring two 6-hour car rides, one 4-hour flight, four hours spent on two airports and about one hour of sleep since I got up in Russia yesterday morning, so it's safe to say I am completely exhausted (which is why I'm mentioning my GMs all in one post).

But I'm back. I'll see that I catch up until Monday (the next few days will be busy for me) and return to regular posting by Wednesday (since Tuesday wouöd be my first day with a couple of hours to myself in over two weeks and I might just need to spend some time watching cat videos on YouTube or something).

Glad you guys didn't burn down the site while I was gone.

@JulienJaden

Take your time, JJ. Our scene's about to close but I think you have another round yet before you have to post here.

[Thortimer]

Happy Easter everyone!

[Life in Stasis]

Guess that does explain the quiet!

Cloverfield movie was okay. Uncomfortable. Well done, but not sure if it's a story I care about.

[Thortimer]

I'll probably check it out when it comes to disk. Things happen at theaters, man. Don't trust their cushions, don't trust their hotdogs and don't trust their morning popcorn.

[Errant Son]

Mostly, I've been quiet because nobody else was saying anything. I've seen it with this RP before though so I'd not be too worried. Generally, with advanced, people tend to take longer to write generally longer replies.

[Life in Stasis]

Yeah I'm not too concerned, you guys seem pretty loyal to the RP, and that's appreciated.

Also, didn't get the popcorn. Got a fresh made pretzel with cheese (had to wait for them to cook it). And I only see movies if the theater has dreamlounge seating.

[Thortimer]

I still wouldn't trust those seats. Having known the things that go down on and around those things... No, just no.

[Life in Stasis]

Suit yourself. *eats pretzel*

[Thortimer]

Anyway, who's turn is it btw? @Culluket, right? Then a new round begins, at least for the knights?

[Life in Stasis]

Yeah. Then probably one more round of us while we collect ourselves and then get into the next scene and introduce the new characters.

Fireball XL5 and Lyaer have been mostly quiet, but they are both old friends of mine and are keeping well in contact. They are perfectly ready to join.

[Errant Son]

I think both have equally suitable characters for the RP. Especially Lyaer would fit in quite well. I envisioned we'd be 'moving through her lands' when we pass through Areta, which is where she'll join us?

[Life in Stasis]

Essentially. The party needs to figure out what it's going to do next. The King will have a powerful say in this, of course. I didn't name this RP after my own character just to have no control over the story.

[Errant Son]

In one of the most epic lines of Game of Thrones: "Fuck the King".

[Thortimer]

He is pretty sexy, I hear...

[Errant Son]

@Thortimer I actually am quite sexy. Thank you.

[Fireball XL5]

Hey all. Thought I'd better check in and say hello before you all start thinking I'm some antisocial mute. @Life in Stasis invited me to join this RP. I'm just waiting for the green light to post as I'm pretty much ready to go.

If you've read the biog for my character you've probably realised he's not here to make friends, so apologies in advance for what he's about to put you all through.

[Errant Son]

I'm sure he and Gawain would get along given their hatred for mages. Though, Gawain might have to defend @Thortimer's dude when/if it comes down to it. Having a Vicennian mage might be useful in explaining what the hell is going on, or at least that's what Gawain thinks. He doesn't know that it's just some awkward mage's apprentice that doesn't really know much.

[Life in Stasis]

*Viceni.

Marcus should be fine as long as he doesn't cast any spells. If he does, well... then Harold will have a realm to defend.
