[OOC] The Midnight Train to Nowhere

[MUG]

Finally. I was wondering when I was going to be able to put up a good, long and detailed post. Now I feel better about myself. XD

[Anonymous]

Gah, that took forever. Me and Kimchi agree we will not be trying that again in a long time XD

[AkiBlue]

Ha, loved the post.

[Crescendo]

Awesome posts, guys :DD

I might post something up in between my studying (gods i hate exams why ugh ugh), but for now I just wanna say for everyone to be mindful of how your attacks and energy depleted matches up. For instance Lesley's two gloriously rainbow attacks had depleted it down to about a quarter, while Haku somehow managed to make two ice pillars and a whole bunch of enormous icicles fall from the sky only using barely half the energy.

Personally I think Anon's amount is more accurate, but we'll see what Michi says when she gets on ^ u ^

[Kimchi]

Lol yup Anon, that was defo a toughy, but you did a good job piecing it all together! It turned out pretty awesome.

So are we depleting accurately or no. I think for Lesley we drained it half for the big puke attack and the care bear stares added another 1/4 to equal 3/4 so he had 1/4 left.

[AkiBlue]

Meanwhile, Ace will probably just fight until she's like: "Ehh. I'm kinda dizzy. Maybe I should stop. Oh look, my amulet is low.... Yeah. I'll take a break."

Or unless someone scolds her into stopping.

Reading posts and deciding if this is a cycle or should I wait

I'm really terrible at guessing if this amount of posts make up a cycle. I think if all of you post then that is a cycle? @ u @

@Anon I FREAKING LOVE LESLEY

[Anonymous]

Aw. Well I try............ I think I'm getting a lil gay...


Nevermind. Its just a character Esrah, just a character... a bi charcter you play rather well



Yup I think I'm still straight.

[Crescendo]

Lesley is just wonderful :'D And you keep telling yourself that, Anon <33

I think I'll post in the morning, I can barely keep my eyes open right now. Good mornighty night, friends /o/

[Headphones]

Hehe, good morning, Kathi-chan =3

Truth be told, I was having some trouble deciding how much would be depleted ^ ^". First I told myself it would be half. Then I wondered if it should be more than a half. But then I wouldn't have enough. Then I thought it should be less than a half. After that, I started thinking hard and, since my brain was begging me to just go to sleep, I wrote something random and went to bed XD I'll change it to a half.

Also, Haku made one ice pillar/tower for Leon and Vince, since they were pretty much in the same spot. As for the icicles, it wasn't a shower, more like a couple here and there, since his power is not advanced enough to make it rain icy needles of death X3

Alright, Lesley is officially the most adorable, random, colourful homosexual I have ever seen. If those attacks were animated, I would be laughing so hard, I'd fall off my chair. XD Great job with your collab! Did Jasper find her glasses by the end? I did notice that you mentioned she had lost them and I can think of a certain someone, who would love to 'return' them~

In other news, how are you all this fine duskdawn? =3

Hey guys, my sincerest apologies to you all and to especially Fox, but I think I'm going to have to bow out of this rp. I always expected it might be difficult for me to keep up in this rp along with my other one, but I didn't know just how hard it'd turn out to be. I'm really, really sorry. I love the world that Fox has set up here, there's so much wonderful imagination bristling in this rp and what Fox (and Kathi and Kei) have got planned for you all is really special. And it's been fun meeting you all and rping (even if albeit briefly), but it's just an unfortunate case that it's too much for me to keep up with. I'm sorry, should have known better. :(

I wish you all the best of luck and fun (and with an rp like this you should really all have the most wonderful fun), and hopefully we'll be able to rp with each other again sometime down the road.

[Fox of Spades]

Just caught up. Awesome posts :D and good mornight, guys.

I hope you're all having a lovely Saturdusk and Sundawn. Those were awesome posts guys.

Thanks for bringing that up, Kathi-chan. Remember guys they're starting at the bottom of the ladder and are pretty much the lowest of the low. In a MMORPG they'd be level 5 noobs against low level monsters. Most of you guys were pretty spot on with power levels and energy depletion. However, Phones, I think Haku is a bit too powerful for a noob at the moment. Making a pillar big enough to carry two guys and having it rain icicles sounds pretty advanced for a newbie. Also, it might have just been Haku's idea but freezing someone from the inside using the water in their bodies would be too advanced too.

Think simple ice bending with sudden bursts of awesome. Remember, every move comes with a price. Lesley had a moment of awesome but pretty much paid for it and Vince too. He charged through the tiny slimes but failed at attacking the bigger one.

I'm not trying to chew you out or anything ^^ so please don't take this the wrong way. This is a reminder for everyone.

As for how quickly the energy depletes. We don't exactly have a system but the bigger the attack the more energy spent. I decided to make an example on paint. Pretend the amulet is a cup full of water.



Small but constant attacks would be the equivalent of constantly taking a sip. Now what are these attacks?

Harper: *Continually swings his sword like he knows what he is doing*

Riley: *Using a fireball as a light source and constantly keeping it lit*

These are small but constant attacks and will drain the amulet as long as it is used.

As for random bursts of awesome, they'll take away a lot of energy, but how much depends on how grand the attack is.

Harper: *Blocks another sword with his own, managed to sidestep. Backs away expertly and then charges forward with a precise slash*

Riley: *Actually manages to deliver a flaming uppercut to someone's face or manages to cause a small explosion*

Now these are random bursts of awesome, but they will come with a price. They deplete energy and cause Physical strain.

Also, a much sadder announcement. Pach has decided to withdraw from the roleplay. He's been busy with his own and can't keep up with both :C it'll be sad to see him go, but we'll soldier on like we always do.

Also, let's discuss. I don't like discussing serious stuff on the OOC but *puts on GM cap* Suggestions, violent reactions? If you guys have anything to say or any recommendations to make, toss them at me and everyone so we can talk it out. I'd rather we fix issues now instead of have them pile up and explode later on. I love all of you and want to do the best I can to make this an awesome experience.

Guys is there anything you dislike about the RP at the moment? Or is there something in particular that you like? We'll try to fix the dislikes and amp up the things that make people happy. Feel free to toss in your own two cents ^^

[Fox of Spades]

*Exhales and takes off GM cap* That was lengthy.

Announcements aside, I really did love the posts. It's always sad when we lose a player, but thank you all for sticking with the train so far <3 and Kathi-chan and Kei-chan, your help has been invaluable. I'd thank you both to the moon and back for all the discussions and assistance.

I'll get to work on a move along post now. I'll have it up in a few hours. :D And on a lighter note, how screwed would you guys be?



I just played The Last of Us, so I'm pretty dead ;A; ahahaha.

Plant zombie thing

[AkiBlue]

Foxy, I think you....may....have missed the message above.

It's unfortunate to see you go Pach, but it is completely understandable. This place can move kind of fast sometimes. You and Vinvin were awesome! and I supported the gangsta ship so much . Hope to RP with you again sometime.

[Fox of Spades]

Like Aki said we definitely understand :C I'll say it again, it's sad to see both you and Vinvin go.

He was a really fun character and the interactions were hilarious. *Was a total supporter of the gangsta ship*

It was short, but thank you for joining us, Pach ^^ it was great to have you :C

Also, post is up. They'll need to work together to defeat the thing.

[Anonymous]

@Pach: I actually decided to click on your username last night and ended up reading your Legend of Heroes rp. Must say, you've done an awesome job with that! Bye bye Vince.

@Headphones: Thank you! Lesley and Jasper also thank you as well for freezing that slime that was going at them :)

And nope. Jasper still has no glasses. That's partially why Lesley needed to protect her, but she never got them back. I'll be Haku's wing man here hehehe ;)

@Fox: I am perfectly happy with this rp. Especially when we brought up the posting issue. The posting sped up quite a bit. Maybe its because I'm new, but I'm loving everything.

[AkiBlue]

Hm, I guess making sure everyone is able to keep up. And no character left behind! I don't know if in character keep up is a problem- but you know, keep it in mind. And that's all I have.
I like everything else.

[Fox of Spades]

Thanks for the suggestions guys (^w^)

In regard to pacing, I'll be moving things along every three days and expecting people to post once per cycle.

If people miss a cycle, there'll be a bit more to react to :C so in order for people to not fall behind I will gladly NPC their characters if they are too busy. Drag them along, or depending on how long they vanish, leave them with a guide. If they ask, a recap can be provided through Skype or the OOC. However, so far no one has been gone long enough to need a recap. Does this sound good enough?

Also during the first chapter Leila had to stay on the sidelines because Four got really busy. If anyone is in need of something like that, just say so :D

Aside from that, I'm glad you guys are happy with the RP.

How is day going by the way ^^ and what's up on your side of the globe, Captain and Anon?

[AkiBlue]

Dreading tomorrow. Procrastinating with work. And the usual.

[MUG]

Man that sucks about Pach, but I gotta say that his roleplay was superb to look at. Hopefully the one I am planning out has similar success. My Star Fox one......
