Really cool that you were able to do that with friends. I've tried to get my friends into it in the past, but I think it was a bit too geeky for them, haha. And not many of them were writer types in particular. Writing stories together sounds a lot better than role-playing and I've always wondered why it's called that in the first place.

Thank you, I'll definitely keep that in mind when I feel everything is steady again. The team effort approach is something I've always wanted to do and I'd love to see it work out. We'll definitely keep in touch.

I really hate to do this, but I just don't think I can keep going with the Rp right now. Rping has always been a form of escapism that also kept me writing, but I was always at least content with my life when I Rp and I've honestly never been more discontent than right now. I'm not a particularly emotional person, but 2 weeks ago I had something that I could only describe as being some sort of panic attack and had to get my mom to take me to the hospital because I've never felt that way before, so I thought something was seriously wrong. Hospital concluded I was fine and it hasn't happened since, but there's still this lingering anxiety that's making it hard to sleep and do much of anything. Most of the things I do during my free time like my blog and writing fiction have come to a stand still.

I could say nothing more than I am stressed and can't go on with the Rp right now, but I'm partly venting, to be honest. My hospital visit is known to no one except my immediate family because admitting that I felt that level of anxiety to people who generally know me as being calm and level headed is weird and to some degree embarrassing.

But I've also been Rping a while, Gmed a lot and this Rp was supposed to be a return from a 2 year hiatus, where I had grown exhausted with putting so much energy into a plot that would last a week or two before dying. This is easily my craziest Rp idea, but more posts and time has gone into this one than anything I've ever Gmed, so it means a lot and I feel bad having to step away with all these ideas still in my head. You guys are the most dedicated group of Rpers I've ever Rped with, so I would love to join you guys maybe a couple months down the line where somebody else is Gm. I don't think I'd ever have the energy to Gm again, but I've said I won't Rp again more than once and have been wrong everytime, so I won't say that, but I do need a long break.

If anyone wants to keep in touch I'll be more than happy to Pm my Skype. Thanks again and you're welcome to go on without me. I'll be happy to provide some of the ideas I had in mind to whoever wants to Gm.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Hey Jester, long time. Send me a PM and let me know what's up.

The Rising Tide

I've been sick all week, but I'm feeling better now. Sorry that it's been a while, but I've been extremely stressed out with life, so I'm just trying to relax. I'll try to have the post finished by tomorrow night. I really like the new avatar and sig Kirra. Ryver did it? Nicely done =p

The Rising Tide

I've gotten Ryver's permission to post for her since she's been busy, so I'll do that soon.

The Rising Tide

haha alright =p

The Rising Tide

Cool, I've updated Iral's sheet. I'll update Connor's in a bit.

The Rising Tide

Kirra said Oh and speaking of posts, if anyone has a poet NPC that is involved with your character now or in the past feel free to mention it to me if you'd like the character to be mentioned or maybe even interact with Devan down the road.

So, I've been thinking for a long time now that Devan would have known Iraltiphos. I may not become relevant until he meets Ken, but here's what I was thinking: Iraltiphos joined the resistance about the time when it first came about. He wasn't a poet, but he taught and trained others in manipulating their spirit energy because he felt it was the most important aspect of performing the magic correctly. Combined with his refusing to perform magic and general arrogance, most of the resistance's members hated him and he hated them because he felt they all misunderstood how power is obtained. I don't remember if we ever established how long the resistance has been around, but I'm going to say that he left 4 years ago. I'll update his sheet right now so that you have something to refer to. I'll leave the nature of their relationship up to you, but as the leader Devan would have designated him as one of the teachers to help out as their numbers increased. Let me know if that's alright.

I also check in every couple of days... but to be honest for the past week I was more than happy about not having to post. ^^

I'm not sure what that means.
