[OOC] Wings Askew

@Pacha I swear I will get Thema's name right this time.

Thema Thema Thema Thema . . .

Everyone who's on the ground right now will stay on the ground without exceptional help.

@Mokley

Nikki has taken off with a running start on the island in the past. I know she won't be able to gain /much/ height that way, but it'd be enough for some gliding, at least. Also cliffs. And possibly trees, because this is Nikki we're talking about. So are we not doing any gliding at all, or just not going to be able to use it as a reliable means of travel?

[Mokley]

@shylarah You're in a forest -- taking a running start would get you face-deep into the trunk of a tree. ;) As for climbing a tree or cliff that's high enough to clear the surrounding trees and still catch the wind (the updraft continually available on the island is most definitely not present here) feel free to look for it IC and I'll let you know if you find it.

No worries, though. Almost half of you have no means of flight anyway. Yet.

[shylarah]

@Mokley Paths. Or once out of the forest. =P Even Nikki's not stupid enough to try a running launch in dense woods. Good point about the updraft, though. *nodding*

Nikki looking for launch points is more or less second nature. She might not do it all the time, but if somewhere is reasonably good (or interesting), chances are she'd notice. But I'll worry about that when there's something worth flying over/around. ^.^;;

[Mokley]

So about this: the first part applies to everyone. Please read carefully. :)

Some of you haven't told me your familiars yet! You know who you are!

[tex]

@Mokley Are our familiars in our control now?

[LostBrotherGrimm]

@texDon't eat your familiar!

[Mokley]

@tex not quite yet. They're still taking shape!

@tex @LostBrotherGrimm Do I dare ask what prompted that comment? O.o

[Disciple Cain]

We're not all actually going to go into cardiac arrest are we? Seems like that'd be a poor way to start the first arc of the roleplay.

[shylarah]

@Disciple Cain The fuzzy light ball will save you from that. ^.^ I'm sure she'll get one too.

[Mokley]

@Disciple Cain Kelari will get her own fuzzy light ball shortly after she lands. :) I didn't write her in because I don't know where she's going to be, but if you want you can go ahead and make those assumptions in your next post. I could also make a small post for her later, if needed. :)

@Mokley

A small post for her later would be good. I'm going to at least make mention of the fuzzy light ball in my next post.

So, fuzzy light ball serves as my spiritual guide through the old world. And, possibly, a handy dandy AED.

[Acromantula]

So familiars will be taking shape within the next posts?

[Mokley]

@Acromantula

Yup! How fast that happens depends on the character, but all the familiars should be fully corporeal within the next 2 rounds.

Edit: I should specify they should remain ghostly until the next mod post unless otherwise specified. Pacing! ;)

[shylarah]

@Mokley Two post cycles? wow, that's super fast. @.@

[Disciple Cain]

I'll try posting tomorrow. Tonight, I am absolutely exhausted.

[shylarah]

@Mokley Hm, it's only a squeezing at their heart after a few hours? So not fast enough to be felt before the familiars show up, right? *works on post*

[Mokley]

@shylarah you're basically right, yes. :) That's in there mostly to give you guys some flexibility for the timeframe and to drive home the fact that the characters would be right to panic. ;)
