Darkness and Light

@Absolis

Couldn't say. I'm here like all the time even if I don't say anything, but I know virtually nobody else is. I think ultimately individuals will need to be judged on their own patterns. Not that I really understand everyone's posting patterns yet.

If it takes too long we can always work something else.

Darkness and Light

And there goes the first thread of plot into the air.

Darkness and Light

For a minute Sariel's world was dark. Visually dark as Rida's bucket blocked all but a small amount of light from reaching his eyes from beneath its metal lip and emotionally dark as his eyes glazed over with rage. He wanted to rip the bucket from his head and chuck it at his daughter. He wanted to condemn her actions and physically punish Rida for even thinking that such behavior was okay. He couldn't though. He knew better than that. He calmed his breath and listened patiently as Lucinda went around to all of their children and greeted them graciously in turn. Concentrating on this Sariel moved past his rage. Mostly. Rida still was not getting away with this if he could help it. A hand barely calmed from his moment of rage came to the lip of the bucket, thumb brushing the stubble still on Sariel's uncleaned face and threw off the darkness.

There was now a bucket on Lethonel's head. Rida was going to get it. He sat down next to the sun of his life and smiled to all that had gathered. The main course would be arriving soon so Sariel was going to try and deal with as much of the situation as possible before then. Leaning in towards Lucinda, but addressing a now bucket-less Lethonel. "If your mother wishes you to join us in our strategy meeting that means my task for you will need to be put on hold. So just whenever you get the time I need you to track down a grimoire from me... The Deiran. I got a tip off that it had made its way into the capital and I was hoping you could leverage the Scholars to find it. Probably more interesting than implementing water systems that I am sure I'll be doing around that time" He said referring to the parchments Lethonel had given him earlier this morning.
"Now" he began again. Sariel leaned forward to look across Lucinda and address Rida. "What am I going to do with my little troublemaker?"

We got a page of posts done in 2 days, almost on the dot. This is a significant improvement over the several weeks of nothing happening. So thank you everyone for contributing.

@Firetigress3

Barely started reading your post when I realized we have never made a point of putting Havenford on the map. well, I know why its not on the map, its because its a territory, not a place, but we should probably figure out where that territory is. As for how long it took you to post... meh. Its fine if you don't post all the time. i mean I would apreciate it if everyone was always on and always contributing to the ic and ooc, but that would be impractical.

Darkness and Light

@Absolis

That will do. If you need help getting your character into the story I am sure that I and others would be willing to help. Though a good portion of the cast is actually caught up with something at the moment.

Darkness and Light

@Absolis

That'll be fine. The last person I questioned this heavily dropped out and I wasn't even the gm then, so thanks for working through this with me. Its better for my self esteem that I don't send people packing. hmmm... that sounds kinda selfish actually.

Darkness and Light

@Absolis

If it finds its way into the bio in some way then sure. Well, I don't expect to see the explanation for the sound traps in there lest we ask why every single other use is not explored in detail. And no you don't actually have to name the town.

Darkness and Light

@Crimson Raven

I hope you are aware that Frengo is there as well. If so then I have no issues.

@Absolis

Wolf genocide spell gone wrong? Could you explain that in more detail At least in as much detail as Adria would understand it. How would sound traps work as per her defensive sound magic? Feel free to name the settlement that Adria came from, though I suppose that is not of great significance, but Adria was born in Mefna, a cave settlement far away from the human lands of Celakor, reads better to me than, Adria was born in a small cave settlement somewhere off the map. But look at me throwing rocks from glass houses as I have never been all that fond of my own writing abilities. Seriously, everyone else here surpasses me by so much. Where was I? I wouldn't mind seeing more detail on why music and performance are so important to Adria or more detail on how that event in the swamp went down to traumatize her.

So get back to me, you by no means have to address all the above points, but I think at least talking about it will be good for her.
