The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Hello all!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PACH!!! WOO HOO!!!! I hope your day was awesome! You deserve it.

As for today's posting…I think I'm going to skip it. There has been no posts in my group since my last one, and I really hate pre-empting an entire round. And to be honest, the posting for Group C has been a little…underwhelming. I just write better when I have something to go off of, and each day the posting rate has dropped down. I know we're all busy people, and it's a busy time of year, so I'm just going to abstain today so you all can catch up. Sound fair?

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Group C: Dylan, Amy, Lucien, Xandra, Lute

They had a plan! Once the last of them had come through the window, Dylan turned to run to the next building when the whole world shook. “Oh Aislin!” he cried as the rest of his group was picked up and launched about.

Somehow, miraculously, Dylan remained where he was standing as the ground seemed to ripple out around him. This, though, was worse, since the poor artist had to watch as his friends where tossed about. And there was nothing he could do. Dylan ran forward as soon as it settled, reaching Lute and pulling the man’s arm over his shoulder. “I got you,” he muttered as he started hobbling towards their target building.

The Tower seemed so close, only a few streets away, and Dylan quickly herded his friends in through the doorway before slamming it shut. Taking no time to catch his breath, he immediately started to move through the building - which appeared to be the same coffee shop he had visited earlier. He had only taken a couple of steps, though, when the whole building starting to shake...and lift.

“MOVE MOVE MOVE!” he yelled as he started to run.

Why couldn’t they reach the Tower? Each way they turned - though they kept the Tower always in their sight - seemed to get them even more lost. The path rose and twisted as they moved, the landscape changing before their very eyes in a nightmarish vision. Suddenly, just when he was out of breath, Dylan came to a stop in front of a giant turtle house. “Oh, Aislin, this is just getting ridiculous.”

He didn’t have much of a chance to gawk, though, as Xan grabbed him by the arm and drug him into a building. It didn’t take her long to start barricading the door - a solid plan, Dylan thought - but Lucy shattered their moment of rest. “Damn it!” Dylan shouted as he grabbed Lucy and pulled him back from the rampaging bearon.

Casting his gaze around, he saw the door to the store room. “Follow me!” he yelled as he made a mad dash to the back room, throwing the door open and running past the stores of toys and stuffed animals. “Here!” He pointed at a window, before shoving it open and crawling through it. He dropped to the ground outside then turned to help the others through.

“We can’t hide,” he said, looking directly at Xan. “But it’s not a terrible idea.” He nodded his head towards the tower. “We can cut through the buildings - the doorways and walls will slow the bearon down, and hopefully hide us from the dragon beast.”

Aww, man, that sucks to hear Pach. I hope the doctors fix it this time! And good luck on your paper Rex! And woo-hoo on healthy blood results!

I guess I'll go to work now…on a post. Not go to literal work. :P

"Get a hold of yourself!"

Dylan turned his eyes towards Amy, shocked by her words. Why wouldn’t she just let him be? He wasn’t risking them, they were still free to go and fight or run of whatever it was they would choose to do. They could just leave him alone and then maybe it will all be over. Maybe he’d wake up back in Thaum, or back home in his bed, never having left at all. Or maybe he wouldn’t wake up at all...

“Get up! Come on! Don’t give up now!” the new one said - Lute was it? - and Dylan numbly let the man pull him up to his feet. He didn’t know why the man cared so much, but if they wanted him to run then he could do that. Lucy was pulling him along, dragging him along towards a tower that loomed in the distance.

It was just as eerie as the rest of the nightmare land, and Dylan wasn’t sure why they needed to go there, but just having a purpose broke something inside of him. The apathy that had been drowning him shattered, and he ran. He ran with everything he had in him, stopping only to help pull the others forward over debris when they stumbled.

Dylan did not speak a single word the entire way, but when Lucy nearly fell he caught the summoner and met his gaze. In that one glance he tried to show Lucy everything that he felt - his sorrow, his shame, and his regret - then he took the man by the arm and pulled him towards the Tower.

The Tower that might be their only salvation from the enemies on their heels.

Hello all! Going to work now.

And did you all see? 700 IC POSTS HOLY FUCK! We are so awesome!

Okay, I don't want to escalate things or cause an argument here, but I'm starting to feel like I'm not a good fit for this group. It's cool, you all are lovely people, but I think my play-style is too radically different from yours and I don't want to cause any more friction. I think it would be best if I left the RP.

I know that Aoife has already been inserted onto the scene, so I'm willing to discuss ways of taking her out of it. Deletion would be simplest, though it would require a couple of minor edits on others, but I'm also willing to have her be a casualty too. I'm fine with either - or you can take her as an NPC - so please let me know what's the best for you.

Siya's sheet has nothing really about her powers, I sort of make it up as I go along, keeping in mind what would make for the coolest scene without being absurdly over-powered.

Maybe we just come from different philosophies of RP, but this I find really, truly scary. At that point there is no limit or guide to how a character would work, or how the magic works, or how anything really works and that in a sense ruins the fun for me. The fun is in the limitations and keeping true to them. Otherwise any reasonable and willing suspension of disbelief gets thrown out the window because anything goes as long as it is cool.

@Heroes - I get what your saying, I really do, but I'm having a hard time justified internally an activity on Aoife's part because she doesn't know what's going on IC. Honestly, the only person she knows here is Atticus and she's in a situation where she doesn't what is going on and now would probably be a terrible time to start a conversation about it. It's just a really awkward time to have introduced her in my opinion and I'm not sure how to fix that.

AmongHeroes said Don't be afraid to expand upon your character: half the fun is thinking up imaginative ways your character can adapt and overcome in the situations presented in the RP.

I agree completely, but don't characters need to be introduced before they can change?

She uses Glamour right? Glamour the heck out of her and have her get to the others... Lots of options you just need to take the reins.

I'm not sure what you mean by that - honestly she is right in the thick of the whole Aislinn/Archibald thing but my point is that I think my character is rather useless. So she can make herself invisible/change her appearance - that's the limitation of her glamour. And umm…yeah, she's got a lil bit of foresight but that's about it. I guess I'm just not used to playing at such a high power level but I think I really shot myself in the foot here. She's not designed as a physical fighter nor does she have any weapons, you know? It's not like she can just pull 'em out of thin air.
