[OOC] The Spirits Within: Oakridge Chronicles

[Mirandae]

@Ozerath
Looks alright, unless @Rockette has anything to say about it. Secondary characters is where you guys truly get freedom to create all sorts of things. It's only the primary characters that are somewhat moderated to fit the overall story of the roleplay. But, good to see that the brothers are coming up! Will you do all of them in full or are you sticking with the basics for the others?

@FantasyChic
You don't have to get secondary characters, but they do help in situations where you ask yourself "what am I supposed to write?". Incidentally, at that point, I'd think about the overall interest in the roleplay instead. But, maybe we can help you to get a concept going? Maybe something that is connected to another player's character? Some kind of relative, maybe.

@Hexaflexagon
White Hat, huh? I immediately pictured you sitting behind a computer with a white hat! But, I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

[Ozerath]

I can't even get a second character concept, let alone someone handling three of them >.<

@FantasyChic

The base concept came pretty easily when I happened to say Thael has three brothers; BAM three potential secondary characters, though I don't really anticipate doing the other two to the same level of detail.

Maybe you could write something up for Serenity's father's cousin's nephew's former roommate? :p

[Rockette]

Everything checks out on my end, I'm eager to see the rest of the brothers!

As for secondary/third characters, to me that's an easy process. I have an entire lineage of characters, concepts, and stories included with the Abendroths. Too bad I'm a terrible person and tend to make them all deceased. If all Abendroth kin were living, it'd be insane.

Maybe I should create a family tree thingy..

[Vox]

Got some issues that have been plaguing me, but I will get a post in during this round for the Kinaballers

[Rockette]

Don't forget the magic rule everyone.

Speaking of updates about oneself...

I was in the gym yesterday - *Gives @Prisk a side eye* - and once again strained a muscle. Like, I haven't strained a muscle this many times while working our ever. It's also annoying because right after that I have to hit the same massage parlor... And it started after I went to them once. I wonder if they're sabotaging me, damnit >__>.

[Rockette]

@icmasticc - Probably. Either for your money or for an opportunity. Hue. But, I feel like you have been straining yourself quite a bit. Not the first time you've shared this story and all. You sure it's not what you're doing that's causing it?

Anyways, speaking fitness, I've managed to go out on my usual runs and today I guess a pack of dogs were out running loose from another neighborhood. So it was barren and empty where I usually run into a couple people. It was like some Silent Hill shit, I was both all kinds of excited and thrilled and my route ended up being completed some minutes early because I hauled my ass back home.

[icmasticc]

@Rockette - Suggesting that I don't know what I'm doing?? You heretic! Kidding. But, maybe. My style of lifting is heavy weight/low reps for strength building mostly. I guess whenever I go up weight I end up straining something - also had to adjust my grip on certain exercises for the same reason.

Screw you and your runs also. Don't brag about that, damnit >>. Some of us can only run a measly mile before we feel like we're about to keel over T___T.

[Mirandae]

The Wicked Witch of the West went her own Way! My plan has been to post tomorrow, Friday, as I'll be busy over the weekend and beginning of next week.

@icmasticc
Ouch! Look into getting some pain reducing, herbal salves from whatever local health shop. They usually work wonders. I have a few myself for whenever I hurt myself in some way.

@Rockette
Spooky. Seems like fear is a great motivator! I think there is a running app where you are being chased by zombies. It's pretty popular, or was before.

[icmasticc]

@Prisk - Herbal salves, huh? Considering I live in the country you'd think stuff like that would be easy to find... But nope lol. I'll look into it though.

[Mirandae]

I should probably lead by example and post here whenever I can.

So, I was at the dentist today, which wasn't too bad. I have pretty healthy teeth except the odd, tiny cavity now and then. However, the most uncomfortable part isn't what they do to fix it, but the sedative! The feeling of numb lips is horrible. I have pretty plump lips to begin with and they tend to swell for no damn reason, but a visit to the dentist is just ridiculous. The sedative is wearing off now, though, luckily.

Also kicking ass in Dark Souls 3. I'm in some kind of tomb now with skeletons, nasty place! But, I play methodically and carefully. No rushing, no crazy stunts, so it's bearable.

[Ozerath]

I've done a terrible/brave/interesting thing and tried to get into EVE online. Its...interesting.

In other news, I've been pretty swamped at work, but I'll work on a post this weekend. If the Gastridamon is still up by the time I post, I think I'll have Kyle drop in to help, otherwise he'll meet the Hammer folks at the front.

Oh, right, yeah, @Prisk, could you add Kyle Conrad to the Hammer mission?

[icmasticc]

@Ozerath - Oh geez, not EVE lol. That crap takes over your life. I've avoided it for that reason alone.

[Ozerath]

@icmasticc So I've heard, but the giant spaceships are just too tempting. How much time I spend on it will be largely affected by the people I find to play it with, so we'll see just how much of my life I lose XD.

@Rockette Dearest would you please be able to make Kyle a banner? :3

[Mirandae]

@ZB1996
I didn't include anything for Doral this round, as some of its members haven't responded yet. Go ahead and do some soloing for Ezra, or hold for a bit and just post for Jaina/your third character. Your choice.

[Anima]

I'm sorry for the hold up for Doral. I'm just checking in to let everyone know I'm still here.

[FantasyChic]

As am I. I'm doing a massive reply/cs creation today.

[Mirandae]

I did mention that if you're going to be active, don't make people wait for you. That being said, it's perfectly fine to reconsider things if you're not feeling it or if you're distracted by other things. It's better to post something short than not post at all, but if it's really difficult, don't hesitate to ask for help or throw in the towel. Nobody here will think any less of someone who does!

[FantasyChic]

@Prisk I would think that one could progress the story, even if not everyone posted. No need to make someone feel guilt because they aren't posting as fast as they'd like to. I should be able to get a post up later, no hardships or waiting involved, I've just been busy with work since it's graduation and prom season.

[Ozerath]

Welp need to update my posts now!
