[OOC] Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

[Muttonhawk]

Collaborating with Slime some more, preparing to run a D&D campaign, work work, going interstate this weekend to visit family, and thinking about the last two segments of the Yorumpost.

Please refer to my nonexistent PA if you need an appointment with me.

Hey, a post. Nice. I'll have to add dealing with Osveril's infestation to Teknall's to-do list.

What's everyone else up to? I was doing a collab with Kho but he's been offline for 12 days now. I should find something else to write in the mean time.

@BBeast

He's alive but burnt out on the post-exam blues.

As in for myself, I have some crappy Slag post in the works with brother Termite. @Antarctic Termite it's your turn on there, by the way.

[Slime]

@Cyclone Termite hasn't logged in for 3 days now. And Loki has been offline for 10 days now... I'm a bit worried tbh.

[Rtron]

I’m gonna go on a hiatus. I just can’t muster motivation to write for Vestec or the things I created here. Maybe I just spread myself too thin, or maybe I’ve just written Vestec for too long. I’m not sure, honestly. I’m don’t know if it’l be permanent or not, but feel free to use Vestec and my creations however you wish (or just murder them all).

I had a really good time writing with you all here, and will remember my times and plots in Divinus fondly. (And, hopefully, make new ones if my motivation comes back.)

You’re all terrific writers and I hope this RP keeps going for a long time.

[BBeast]

@Rtron It's a shame to see you go, Rtron. I hope we'll see you back here some time.

@Rtron

Xos is gonna kick his ass again

(but i'll let him live!)

In all seriousness I get it, though. I've also been feeling like I've spread my stuff too thin and have been dealing with the same characters for way too long. I still try to get out occasional posts, but at this point I feel inclined to suggest that we consider writing towards a conclusion for this Divinus so that it can have a proper ending as opposed to a slow death. Then we'd be able to start a new one, of course.

@BBeast I'm going to be on for the next few hours, if you happen to login and are feeling inspired, come onto the google doc and we can can make some headway on the post

@Cyclone

To be honest, I wouldn't mind a new Divinus, especially with the upgrades to the rules Termite and co made. I'd like to try some new ideas and all that.

[Kho]

I don't mind a new Divinus in the future, but I know that this Divinus still has a lot of life left in it. Its song is not yet sung, and numerous storylines and ideas are far from complete anyway.

@Kho

I'm just trying to get the idea out there. We move so slowly that this thing would take at the very least a year to close anyways, by my estimates.

@Cyclone

That is true, we do move slow and steady. If we do reach a general consensus that we should all begin moving our storylines towards an endgame scenario over the next year or so I guess that's reasonable. I do know BBeast has a potential endgame arc which is really quite awesome and which has been built towards over a very long period.
Either way, endgame or not, there's still stuff to write and stories to grow!

[Scarifar]

Yeah I’ve barely done anything myself, tho that may just be due to my combination of laziness and college.

[Oraculum]

Lest I end up being missed at the next roll call, here goes the usual three-week disappearance warning. Whichever way the choice may go (to me, this thread looks like it's still got much to give, for all my humble uninformed opinion might be worth), I'll always come back to a Divinus, in any size, shape and colour.

@Oraculum

Endgame is a lot further than 3 weeks away.

I'd like to see the Xos arc wrapped up first. That is a worthy arc in its own right. After that, as Kho mentioned, we (the GM team) can set the gears into motion for endgame.

Cheers for the forewarning of your absence.

[Antarctic Termite]

@Frettzo See you on the flip side, bro! best of luck.

@Rtron Enjoy your time off, dude! It's been a good ride.

I wonder what Tauga's going to get up to next?

@Muttonhawk

We're long overdue for this announcement, but to stay on topic and also answer this: I'm not sure.

@Cyclone

This catches my mood pretty well.

I've come to the conclusion some weeks ago that it's time for me to start closing arcs. I have too many characters on the table, too many stories unresolved, and no clear endgame in sight for any of them. No matter how much I love them, I can't keep writing Jvan and co. forever. I need to get myself back in shape for my next novel, and I need to give closure to these stories.

A lot of what I had planned falls into the megapost family of writing, and I don't think that's what I want to do any more. I've avoided writing for so long now that I'm not even sure if I'm still capable of pulling it off. I'm going to have to pull myself back together, one little bit at a time, and put into words all those snippets I've ever had in mind, whether it's 'time' for them or not, and then eventually bow out.

Something like that.

@Kho , want to finish up Tira's adventure in Chronos?

[Antarctic Termite]

@BBeast Hey, thanks for summarising that collab. I ghosted you guys pretty nastily towards the end. Sorry for taking time you probably wanted for other things.

[Muttonhawk]

@Rtron See you later rtron! Thanks for your time. I hope we can see you again soon :)

I wouldn't be against moving towards wrapping things up. I could probably get to it in...pfffff...half a year at my current pace, maybe? Let's see, if I'm going that way...

~ Conata has two posts left at the very least. Both are collabs.

~ Toun is pretty much a narrative free agent once he deals with Xos. Speaking of which, I've yet to start that collab with Cyclone. I've been waiting on your signal there, my dude. Beyond that, his long term plans would require no small amount of stewing, so I think I'll address the endgame before that can happen.

~ Yorum has been fun, but it has a few more posts before the planned stuff finishes. I might have to reconcile with that project once I get the next post out.

~ Mira and Cinead had scribble notes for their next dramas, but I'm not sure I'll get time for them.

So, four large posts at minimum.

That's about it. I'm not at burnout with this RP yet, but I can understand if you guys are. I've had a lot of distractions keeping me fresh.

Ideas are forming in my mind to how Toun is going to react to it all. It's yummy.

[Double Capybara]

Eh, I have no way to work for closure.
-Ilunabar never had much of an story just a series of plans.
-Divas are accessory to that.
-No idea what to do with Croma
-Makeda is basically over
-Vascogne and Irikiri have some plans but no end or arc
-Susa got messed up hard by everyone involved with her jumping ship
-Mesathalassa in general has a clear plan but the "end" to it is just a few characters arc ending, the story itself stays open.

All along with a few minor ideas I still want to do. So, eh. Guess I will just stick around while it lasts, haha.

[Slime]

Damn, I have a lot of things I still want to do before a possible end to the RP. I imagine it would take several posts to finish all I have in mind...

[Scarifar]

Ehh I was never satisfied with how my "storyline" with my characters turned out. Never did have a solid plan for them.
