@Cyclone I rather liked Flo. Do we want more Flo posts?
Well, 'stupid questions get stupid answers,' right? Right?

In other news, as Violet is unfortunately dead*, Basheer is lonely and doesn't mind sassy. Time to canonise some Djinni love I say - away with the whole 'oh, we just kinda pop up' delusion!

*I know I know, she's with Helvana somewhere
Was just randomly going through our highly out-of-date OP, and came across this:

...if a player does godmod or goes beyond their remit or does something that requires permission, try not to post a revenge post of godly godmodding to get them back. Godmodding is an issue dealt with OOCly, attempting to take vengeance won't sort it, and the RP could easily devolve into godmodding bonanza if enough like-minded people are about.


It's odd to think that this was amongst the issues I worried about in the beginning (not without reason, godmodding revenge-posts did take place in Divinus Mk.I). But now, standing at the pinnacle of two years with you lot, and with many years to look forward to (hopefully, fingers crossed, God willing), I can't help but be glad at the elevated, quality roleplaying we've dished out. Pause for a moment and just hug yourselves, you beautiful people.

@BBeast I seem to remember that it only detects divines who are within its proximity. Is that still so? Does it ignore concealment levels? (So for instance, if Teknall had had it pre-Realta when he visited Yara, would it have detected Vowzra and Yara?)
This... roleplayerguild.com/posts/4199041
Woah. I... I get it!




Edit:

"Coo-oor-oor-roo," said Himpledonk, the pigeon, from her perch. "Coor-roo-oo-oo!"
A Termitian Post


OH NO YOU DON'T. If this is another Pumps manoeuvre, I'm not fallin for it

Edit 2:

"COO-ROO-OO-ROO!" said four hundred and fifty-nine pigeons.
That Termitian Post


SHET SHET SHET.

Edit 3: The first part of the post [roleplayerguild.com/posts/4202100] made me think of Studio Ghibli (Studio Ghibli needs to adapt Divinus II into a series), but by the end I was thinking Teletubbies... some freakishly twisted Teletubbies. I think it was all the Hello Lalas and Goodbye Tinki Winkies that did it.
What exactly does Lazarus' gem, given to Teknall, do?
@Cyclone I just reread the Pasach post and it made me think...
the last time Zeph saw Vowzra, the latter was in this form.
And Zeph went and created a people who look like this.

Methinks this whole thing is Zephy saying, 'I miss you Vowzie.'

It is known.
Damn, Guarded Hearts was something. While I obviously liked the TounxJvan bonding time, I very much liked Toun's reaction to Whisper's blasphemous 'I've had enough of your kind' stuff. For his stalwart defence of godkind, who are the most derided beings in the damn Universe (mostly by easily smite-able mortals), Toun deserves a medal. Fate should reward him. I hereby petition Fate and Amul'Sharar to reward Toun's defence of the gods.

In other news:

Dear Kho,

I am sending you this private message to inform you of Antarctic Termite's blatant incompetence at matching BBCode tags.

During our recent collaboration, titled 'Guarded Hearts,' he demonstrated failure to match no less than two (2) strikethrough tags, two (2) uniform resource loader tags, one (1) colour tag by failure to close, and more italics tags than I could record before they were fixed.

I understand that Divinus is an RP in which no such thing is to happen, to protect the reputation of ourselves and our flawless writing.

It is the humble recommendation of this player that Termite is expelled from the RP, effective immediately, and without appeal.

Yours Sincerely,
Muttonhawk



Dear Kho,

Please tell Muttonhawk to shut his damn mouth. This is lie and slander.

Yours Unemployedly,
Antarctic Termite


I think I should respond.

Dear Muttonhawk,

I recently had the pleasure of reading your letter dated February 6, 2017. I apologise for the delay - various bureaucratic blunders (read: it's all Cyclone's fault) meant that I was rendered incapable of responding sooner. Unfortunately, it is no longer within my power to decide on this matter, and I have forwarded your letter of complaint to the new administration. I have no doubt that they will return to you forthwith.

Yours Unemployedly,
Kho


Edit: Also, HUZZAH, Vowzra's light did something. Jvan now knows that she was always an empathyless psycho. Lets hope she finds happier memories. Think happy thoughts. Happy thoughts.
@Muttonhawk@BBeast Hmm, thanks for that. I'll read future posts that involve Arksynth more carefully to glean more understanding from seeing how it functions in practice.
I've been trying to work out what exactly Arksynth is. I understand how it came to be and so on (the whole Vaky Deus Ex Machina stuff), but I don't really understand what it is and what it is capable of. Is this quote an accurate explanation?

"...What I've made is, simply, divine flesh, soft enough to be moulded by mortal hands. Its potential is limited only by patience and creativity." Aware that it was improvising, the voice quickly continued. "And luck. Lots of luck."
Jvan to Nameless Sculptor


It can literally be anything you mould it into? And something to do with rolls
<Snipped quote by Kho>

I'll be honest, so far my first post is still my favorite out of all four.


I looked at it and thought 'fug me that's long', but once I got into it I found it to be a very enjoyable read. Her interaction with the crows was a bit childish, but that made sense given her age. I thought the way she was developed in her interactions with Gwyn and Lloyd was nicely done - and it might be just me, but I found myself rooting for LloydxHelvana somewhat through all that.
