The Crowning Mechanism

For a moment, Kostya was just too baffled for answering properly. But then it degenerated into a little tirade: "Oh yes, flowers! Oh no, don't worry. I can still buy myself some flowers even if I'm dead. Or why not just rip them out of the ground as I'm already lying underneath them, rotting away in a slow pace? Or...cut them ?" He presented the blade he had freed from the tree. "You're looking for this, perhaps ? And I've got a bigger hammer for you, too!" The slightly enraged man pointed towards that bulk of copper on his back. "Perhaps your craftsmanship would become even better if you used that one ? And if it should happen that you break your back one day... don't worry. I'll buy you some flowers then." He pressed the side face of the blade's handle onto Albins chest, pushing it from the other side. "Take it. And please warn everybody before you demonstrate your amazing skills the next time, ok ? It could save lives."

Then the only choice left for me appears to be waiting for the big hunt and hope that another attempt of introducing my character will be more successful, or have any noticeable success at all :/

@Fetzen What are good 'blocks' of time we could reasonably expect you to be available during?

@Meiyuki

Basically every day from around 11am to 3-4pm MST if I convert this correctly. On weekends I'm off duty and can start shifting a bit, so the range is probably 22pm to 2pm the next day MST.

So most likely not much to go on :(

edit: If you want, I can leave this so not to hold you up...

@Fetzen If you don't mind me asking what is your timezone precisely? Perhaps you could fine some people who can meet your schedule and 'partner up' so to speak?

@Meiyuki

Yep it's GMT+1+DST or, to put it in other words, UTC+2, so it's 6:31am for me atm.
I really don't want to take anyone the collabs away, I'm just attempting to fit my character into all of this with the (apparently very limited) capabilities I have.

@Ellion Probably returning at around 6p.m. (local time) as I've to visit a doctor after work today.

I'm getting the feeling that it could've been a bad idea of mine to join this and that all the work I put into my character's creation could be in vain. I'm stuck at almost the other end of the world with a phase shift of 120+ degrees. Given the fact that most of the posts of the last two pages of IC are collabs, what are my options:

• Participate in collabs and probably annoy everyone on the long run because my 'ping' so to speak is about 8 hours (except perhaps for some rather tiny timeslots in the early morning or the late evening or during the weekends where I can jetlag my life on purpose)
• Stick to conventional posting as far as possible. Whilst this would not impede progress in your collabs, I couldn't participate in much.

I had no idea that the timezone distribution would be so extreme in both its size and its effectiveness. Right now my frustration level feels like a space shuttle and I don't know what to do best. Does anybody have any ideas on what might be a possible solution or at least the best option to choose ?

Wow. That wolf... he hadn't seen that coming. Luckily for them that the warrior seemed to be way quicker with his situational awareness than he was - and that there was a lot less aggression in the beast's behaviour than in its appearance.

Kostya totally agreed with Eadric's words, but he didn't intend to do this anywhere else than in his mind alone at the moment as he got the feeling that this could annoy Meretrix. And Lucanas had just offered him to do some sparring, something he definitely needed... "I'd be happy to do so." the serf answered the warrior.

Now, there was one last thing to do. A very important thing though...
Kostya loosened the blade from the tree, turned around and headed for Albin. His voice was calm, but filled with tension.
"What would you've done if this thing had hit me ?"

[@Aeandir]@urukhai@Ellion
So if anybody wants to participate (hope I've set it up correctly):

I'm gonna be at work for the next 8 hours, but then I'll see if I can get something started (never used Titanpad before...).

Spells in the Dark (18+ For dark and suggestive themes)

To be honest, I'm feeling a bit run over at the moment.

I was waiting for @Aerandir to continue the convo Bobby started, then Yuri joined in, and now everything of it seems to have... dissolved into collabs I couldn't participate in because it was started and finished over night (for me).

So I'm gonna ask the question I had planned to ask anyway: Does anybody want to collab with my character ?

Soo good night folks :) In my timezone, it's time to go to bed. (sadly...)
