@jumpadrawHey it's all good since you did warn us.

Speaking of waits; I'm having trouble with my keyboard right now (this is all being typed with my on-screen keyboard, which isn't fun) so I'll have to update the IC for everyone later tonight after I've replaced it. Shouldn't be any more than six or seven hours from now though.

City of Jade

@EklispeYes unless I specifically say otherwise. It sort of has to be that way or I'll probably end up repeating myself a lot.

I'll put things in a hider if I absolutely only want the person I'm responding to to be aware of it.

It's a short walk to the north when you encounter something very out of place; another human being! An old bald man in sickly yellow robes sits cross legged beside a boxy single story building, which also looks somewhat out of place amongst the towers around it, though it is also green.

He smiles at you skeptically as you approach and says, with a somewhat old fashioned dialect;
"There's a powerful energy in you, I can tell. Were you invited to the Old Temple, then, or have you wandered here accidentally somehow?"

He stands. Though appearing harmless, you can see his body tense as though anticipating you to strike. He evidently doesn't trust you.

Hey guys I've added a new section to the first OOC post titled "A Guide To The City", which lists the areas you've discovered so far along with their relative positions in the City and any other useful information you might have discovered about them. Where each character is at right now is also listed. I figure it'll be useful since we currently have 3 separate groups of people wandering the place!

Also how does everyone feel about the game so far? I know that not much has actually happened yet, but I suppose that's the downside of playing by forum when everyone else lives in different time zones and has, much as it pains me to say it, real lives.

City of Jade

@Fancy PartyIt's not a big deal, and you're right that things were going a little slowly. I'll start poking people more if they don't post in awhile without warning us.

City of Jade

@Fancy PartyI appreciate that you're trying to keep things moving but please don't just brush the other players off like that again, it just puts everyone in a weird position.

The journey up the stairs seems to pass by in moments compared to the climb it took to reach them, and the City is upon you before you even notice. The City, as far as you can tell, is surrounded by a dull wall that appears to have been cut straight from a single stone, rather than having been constructed piece-by-piece. In fact; none of the structures of the City look to have been built, only carved from some giant green stone.

The fog conspires to mislead you, the monolithic Jade towers so similar that it's clear you would have no chance navigating this place if not for the power of your Chi. By reaching out spiritually you can sense several energies in the streets around;

To the north is a familiar feeling, something contemplative, peaceful, but also tense and weary.

To the west you feel something broken and sad, something that has lost its purpose.

Something to the east feels familiar as well, but in a different way. Something ancient and powerful, like a memory half forgotten.

You can feel many other energies as well, but none as strongly as these three.

And -- faintly -- you can feel that just by entering this place you have attracted the attention of something that is masking it's Chi from you. Something that does not yet want to be discovered.

Universes collide

Cool! I'll make my CS tonight.

@jumpadrawAw man, for the first time ever I thought someone found me funny.

City of Jade

@jumpadrawWelcome to the front lines, soldier.

@POOHEAD189That's disappointing, but thanks for telling us. You're welcome back anytime.
