[OOC] The Midnight Train to Nowhere

[Fox of Spades]

Gosh, graham crackers suddenly became intense xD.

Also, things are a tad chaotic, so maybe this'll help :D. Or...maybe it won't, haha, it's a pretty crappy illustration.



All three groups are separated by trees, but they aren't too far, so they'll be able to hear Ace shouting. Please have your characters run into each other before my next post (which will be tomorrow night), that way I can get them to the hooded figures and we can get this tea party started. We're nearing this chapter's end and we'll probably be able to wrap this up by the first-ish week of November.

Thanks for the heads up, Four, I'll have Harper drag Leila along. Have fun on your trip and good luck with working the concert :)

I hope you had fun at homecoming, Thunder :D. And Alice in Wonderland! MAD HATTER! No harm in trying (*w*)/. Where I live, Halloween isn't celebrated, so I'm just gonna download a bunch of horror movies, maybe rewatch The Nightmare Before Christmas, or play some spooky games.

Oh, Thunder, have you heard of the books Hatter and Jabberwocky? I've been trying to find them for sometime now, but ugh, haven't had any luck. Both books take place in Wonderland and happen before Alice arrived, I heard they're pretty awesome :D

[AkiBlue]

Haha, those are some amazing trees.
Pretty clear illustration.

[Fox of Spades]

Yes, the trees are super wonderful xD

Have a cute puppy to brighten up the mornight.

[Ryver et Rhine]

Hey all! I need to skip this round. Too exhausted these few days. Sorry D:

[Fox of Spades]

It's cool ^^ don't stress yourself out, Ryver! So I guess the only people who'll be posting for this cycle are Aki, Thunder, MUG, and Kimchi?

Haha, sounds like it's a busy week, best of luck you guys~

[Thundercat]

You know what Fox, I think a friend of mine has a book on his desk titled hatter. I think. It's always sitting there when I go over and I have yet to push my curiosity to the point of grabbing it, haha. I'll look those up though! I love prequels.

Shall be noon soon, I should get home in a few hours and battle my procrastination demons in the name of getting a post up. I'm on my phone right now and cant see those trees. Shucks.

also, that's a shame Halloween isn't celebrated over there! I have a faint memory of my uncle running around the neighborhood in a banana costume trick or treating with me when I was a kid, somebody gave him a six pack of beer, haha :3

[Thundercat]

whoops *double post*

[Fox of Spades]

Oh gosh, that sounds like a blast. Haha, It's a good thing they stuck to giving you candy :P

And yes, the trees are brilliant. You're missing out. //shot and killed

No worries, the multiple posting thing is a problem on the guild's end. It's been happening a lot lately. Hopefully it gets fixed ^^

[Thundercat]

Hey hey, eatin some grub workin on a post~

Haha oh man xD I was expecting some kind of portrait by an artist who's really good at drawing nature lol. Nothing like some MS paint trees^^

[Fox of Spades]

Okay, and MUG? Kimchi? I think I'm starting to notice a trend here v.v

I'll post when I get more replies.

[Thundercat]

Sorry for taking so long, I uh....fell asleep oWo

ready and willing to kick some HF butt tho!

[Kimchi]

Got one up there. Gosh, I don't even think apologizing is acceptable anymore. I'm losing inspiration to type a post at this point in time and I hate it because I really love this roleplay. It makes sense since we've been at this for so long, but it ain't no valid excuse. I know the story will only get better and we always have our rough patches.

Lordie, Fox I admire you so much. How patient you are with reminders and giving us kicks in the butt. I cannot believe you haven't abandoned us yet. Man, you're patience string is way too long my friend, but if it wasn't, this story might've dropped off into rp death a long time ago. I appreciate the immense effort you put to drag non-active players and move things along. I know it's so frustrating and hard for you. I'm a total jerk for not even taking the time to leave a dang reminder that I'm missing a cycle or being late on a post.I will try harder. The roleplay will only be as fun as the amount of work we all put in to it. I will try not to be dragged around by Fox anymore because you already do so much. And for that I thank you.

PS. threaten to boot me out from time to time. especially when i'm misbehaving like this. it'll be a sort of sour motivation to work even harder and to become more inspired. sometimes i need tough love.

[Kimchi]

On a lighter note though, I volunteered to work for a Haunted House (actually it was a barn XD) at a Children's Petting Zoo yesterday night. I dressed up as The Grudge! Must say, best laughs I've had in while.<-dunno if this makes me a bully, but I enjoyed making little kids cry. And sometimes even scaring adults :,D

I stood very still by the exit in my white dress and long black hair all over my face and as soon as they saw me, the expressions are the best.

what I lived for last night

And as soon as I can sense they're the most nervous and trying to get out, I take a step towards them and scream as they scurry out ^O^'



^basically the events of last night

[Fox of Spades]

Celery sticks... don't give me a heart attack. For a moment, I thought you were giving a goodbye speech.

Heyo, Kimchi, thank you. I will definitely appreciate the help and I hope to see more consistency from now on. (This goes for everyone.)

If any of you guys are having trouble post-wise, I'm always up for a brainstorming session and am just a PM or skype message away. If any of you feel things are kind of boring or slow, I encourage you guys to bring it up on the OOC, that way we can iron out the kinks. Kimchi is right, this is a group effort, and we need everyone to make it work. I don't want to haul a bunch of people around because this should be a give and take sort of thing. If only two or three people are giving, we're going to crash and burn, so I'm glad you understand.

Also don't worry, this chapter is going to change things up quite a bit. The hoomans will be making a significant decision at the tea party, and the future chapters won't follow the same scavenger hunt formula, so hopefully that spices things up. The last item on the list will be collected during the next chapter, so stuff after that is going to be...bloody different for the humans and nobodies involved.

I'm hoping I haven't been too obvious and that the end of this chapter is still a surprise xD

I was actually planning to shoot both you and MUG a PM. To be honest, I was getting annoyed with all the apologies since there wasn't any improvement, but thank you for this, and I will be holding you to your word! Also, Kimchi, you've been here from the beginning, so I'd like to thank you for that too. Let's give the humans a happy ending, yes?

Awesome videos by the way. Dang, you and Thunder make me wish Halloween were celebrated here, and as for scaring children...

That sounds pretty awesome! Did you make any one cry for reals, Kimchi 8D?

Edit: That bunny gif is adorable. I can't stop staring at it xD

Oh, and out of curiosity, what books are you folks reading at the moment :D? I'm currently reading Asylum. It's about a bunch of kids who end up spending their summer in this dorm that used to be an asylum. They find eerie photographs of past patients, one of them starts getting visions, and they get caught up in the weirdness. I'm about halfway in and it's okay. It's not exactly awesome, but I don't hate it either.

[MUG]

I'm gonna get my post up here tonight as soon as I finish with my hockey game work again. I'll definitely look to try and push something here in my post as best as I can.

---

Edit

Scratch that. Got one up just as I was heading out to the game. Trying to spark a debate on how to handle the dragon situation here folks, and maybe we got someone trying to lead the humans into an ambush? Juicy juicy I think! XD

[Kimchi]

Yes, foe realz doe. Dem kids waz cryin before dey even got in and were ballin by the time they ran out XD

Oh I sense bf vs gf going down. Jasper ish not gonna side wid her bae.

[Fox of Spades]

Hohoho, MUG, you've given me a nice setup idea, thanks! I'll be posting sometime tonight. I'm gonna be finishing one last project before I get to taste freedom. If I don't manage to finish it by this afternoon though, then you guys can count on a post sometime during Monday.

Gosh, Kimchi, you're evil xD! Good job!

And if you guys wanna get some back and forth in before I post, that's cool, since my next one is gonna have Nympha go after the sound and drag everyone to death along with her, haha.

Edit:

And slight spoiler, but next chapter 8D what kind of fish do you want your human to kind of turn into?

Harper might turn half Dolphin or something xD. I'm thinking of part Lobster for Riley.

Though this chapter might happen later on in the story depending on the choice at the tea party.

[MUG]

Well mehbe Inadi don't want his bae on his side Kimchi. He ain't whipped. He's his own man playa. Haha!

As for fish...... I've always been partial to jelly fish.

[AkiBlue]

Pfft, Inadi 'his own man'. Inadi is too much of a dork.

Ace calls shark! What kind...I'd have to get back to you on that.

[Fox of Spades]

Pfft, Jelly fish. Yeah, Inadi is definitely his own man :P
