Hi, posting here as well to apologize for the quiet and for holding up the thread. As I've messaged our kind GM @Mirandae, I was swamped with RL demands, and sadly, I only have enough time and mental energy to go around. The whole RP is very interesting, and at no point have I lost interest (just mentioning to bolster the fact that it's a pretty solid premise, with great aesthetics and vibes and the other players are all great, too).

I'll be taking my leave, but I wish everyone all the best!

It Came From the Sky

"Hey!" he called out, a hand rubbing at the spot where she hit him. "I'm fine here. Go on, have your fun."

It wasn't as if she needed to be told how. He watched from a safe distance as everyone seemed to move in tune to the bard's whims. Larder's ears drew back, uncomfortable with the sudden rise in noise and the incessant stomping of prancing, dancing feet. Together, Eldwic and his dog mulled their silence in wary contentment, the former perched at the edge of his seat, ready to shoot out the door. Curious eyes widened as Evelyn quickly found a partner, smiling the right way, saying all the right things, and the man did the same. Sometimes, he wondered there was a day in people's lives where everyone had a gathering to learn all these unwritten rules while he was blissfully asleep. Eldwic gulped down his drink, suddenly all too aware that he was the only one in the room who was sitting alone. Or rather, that was how it felt to him, and he shrunk, slouching into his seat, hoping for the floor to swallow him whole.

But a murmur of disapproval and a rush of unpleasant laughter caught his attention. Once his head turned to catch sight of the trouble, Eldwic felt his ears burn and his chest tighten with pure, raging hate. Teeth bared, he placed Larder on the ground, then rushed at the drunken lout, club at the ready. As far as Eldwic was concerned, the man was worse than the poor rats he crushed day after day - they didn't have a choice. This one, he chose this.

"Let... her... go," he breathed, voice barely above a whisper. But the man wasn't given a chance to answer; with a resounding crack, he brought the thick club's bloody head down upon the man's head. It struck true, and as flesh gave way to wood, blood splattered in all directions, staining even Eldwic's lips. A moment barely passed before he grabbed Evelyn's hand and pulled her towards the door so they could all leave. The veins upon his neck were strained, and his eyes wide with fury, the club pointed at those who might dare to block their way. But the fingers that Evelyn would feel against her own were cold, tightly clenched, and very much afraid.

Sorry for being a bit quiet, work has been heavy lately. Still interested! Can't promise a reply within 48 hours, but I think I can get one in before the week ends. If that's too long, feel free to write around Mercy, and I can pick up where it's left off!

Are you kidding, an actual homebrew combat system? Lmao here to stay.

just want to say hi and make some friends

Happy Thursday from the future

Season's greetings.

Welcome to RPG! Curious to know what that older fandom is. Anyway, hope you enjoy your stay here!

@Yankee

Ditto, also curious. Welcome!

No worries, do enjoy your vacation! Thank you for updating me.

Umbra: The Abyssal Connection

@Herald My concept for Mercy was that he is kind of like an insatiable void / dinosaur in the sense that he keeps getting bigger and bigger, and thus, he needs more and more to sustain himself, but finds it harder to hunt due to his size and increasing need. Which is why he needs Val as much as Val needs him. I'll say that he can't turn smaller, but he can help in situations where he can't materialize by obnoxiously coaching / bickering with Val internally (kinda like Venom lmao). I have, like, a small hope that he eventually becomes some weird mentor figure who inadvertently helps your guy grow and heal, despite all his murderous energy and evil tendencies haha!

Kaiju battle sounds like a blast! I'm also curious to know the serpent's motivations.

It Came From the Sky

Eldwic to the rescue?

@BunniesOfDoom

That escalated very quickly 😨

How high can we count before a mod gets involved?
