Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

New bit for the collab. Contrary to how it might seem, the inclusion of Victor just now wasn't reactionary; I had actually planned it for a while. Still, there it is.

Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

Though the bestial creature on the other side of the door had clearly anticipated being attacked, swiftly stretching its fingers grasping blindly with its murderous claws for Marcus' arms, it seemed completely taken aback by the nature of the attack. Upon being pulled, the arm was drawn through the hole and toward the floor with surprisingly little resistance, accompanied by the sound of something heavy stumbling and falling into the door.

Hmm?

This maneuver being a well-practiced and surprisingly quick one, he could afford to perform it with just the one arm, as the other struck out in an attempt to grasp the beast’s bicep, due to their now very close proximity.

I presume this is what you're referring to... which seems fairly inconsequential compared to everything else? I mean, I'll edit what I wrote to acknowledge that Raine did this, but it doesn't change anything. Raine holding the creature's biceps would at most prevent it from moving its forearm, but wouldn't affect its ability to move its arm past the elbow.
Regardless, a small alteration has been made to the paragraph.

That's quite all right, Habibi. Better late than never and such similar sentiments, but actually it hasn't been too long since we heard from you, even if I was somewhat bothered by not getting a yes or no on my question before. In any event I'm sorry that you've been in a bad place and I'm pleased to hear that you have taken measures to get better.

EDIT: Also added a paragraph to the collab.

Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

“No speak? No open door?” the voice asked on the other side, a tinge of annoyance and impatience detectable under his troubled speech. “We open door. If Hunter no fight, no hurt. If Hunter fight... very hurt.”
There was a short pause before the hoarse man spoke again in a louder, more commanding manner: “Come! Hunters past door! Take Hunters!”
The sound of the room past the door being vandalized ceased, and many footsteps could be heard approaching the door. It was almost eerily quiet on the other side now that the sound of breaking furniture and apparatus no longer filled the air.
“Break door.”

Something next to the hoarse man, right on the other side of the door to their room full of cots, let out a furious, inhuman snarl just a second before something slammed into the door with tremendous force, shaking it visibly in its frame, but failing to break it.
A voice that sounded more canine than human let out a guttural roar as something struck the door a second time; far from as hard as the first blow, but accompanied by the sound of cracking wood and followed by a terrible sound of wood being continuously rent by something sharp, moving from top to bottom of the door. It repeated another time: a strike followed by something raking down the other side of the door, ripping the wooden obstacle apart. There was a faint sound of small pieces of wood hitting the floorboards on the other side. The canine voice growled.

The fourth blow striking the door proved more than it could handle, and suddenly a left hand – easily three times as large as a human hand should be, with long fingers each tipped by a black two-inch claw and the back of the hand clad in thick gray hair – penetrated the door all the way through, palm downturned. It curled up its fingers, preparing to sink its claws into the wood of the door immediately below the hand, clearly intending to rip a hole straight through it.

I wrote a bit for the collab as well.

What about you, @Habibi359? Do you want to post, or shall I move things forward?

Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

Sorry for taking so long, I was waiting to see if @Habibi359 would post a response.

@Th3King0fChaos

This, right here, is why I asked, and the main reason that one of the rules listed in the OP reads:

Communicate. If there is any doubt as to which player is the next to post, please address this doubt OOC as soon as possible; ask if the other player intends to post rather than waiting to see if they will. In fact if you have questions in general, don't hold back: a question asked is potentially a mistake avoided.

OOC OP, rules section

This isn't intended as a personal attack on you, Th3King0fChaos, and I don't want it to come across as such, but I have been trying to keep a discussion as to who is going to post when since the RP began exactly to avoid this kind of problem. It's not just that you didn't ask whether Habibi wanted to post first, but also that no one else reacted to the question; as I mentioned before, all I got in response was deafening silence. In my experience, this kind of confusion is one of the most common causes of inactivity in RPs, because people are so prone to just wait and see rather than actually try to plan things out and get things moving.

I don't want to seem unreasonable, but I also want this RP to do well, part of which is to keep it active rather than in a state of everyone waiting for each other. So if it's not too much to ask, can we please agree that from now on, if you're in doubt, you ask? This is addressed to everyone, obviously.

And finally, at risk of repeating myself: does anyone in the clinic scene want to post before I move things forward a bit?

Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

I'll take the deafening silence in response to my inquiry about who was next in the clinic scene as an unanimous agreement that no one wants to post. I'll move things ahead in that scene soon, then, under the presumption that no characters do anything.

The ones given false Paleblood didn't know that they were getting it, no. For most part it has been a matter of the church contaminating isolated food and water sources to infect people with the disease, but they also straightforwardly injected anyone signing up for blood treatment around the time of the start of the RP with it.
People also weren't selected for receiving false Paleblood as much as they just spread it at random. It's an experiment as much as it is an attempt to actually produce immortal Hunters to cull the scourge of beasts; there has never been false Paleblood Hunters before, and the church wants as large a sample size as possible so they can tell how well it works.

Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

What about in the clinic scene? DrabberRogue posted last, so he's probably not up next... Aren't anyone's characters going to react to Arcturus or the fact that the hoarse man heard and reacted to Joseph? If not, I suppose I will just progress events a little further.
