@zelosse @liferusher

alright so I know that this post is not what you would expect after such a long time without anything...
Again, I deeply apoologize! I wanted to squeeze this one out so that you guys can finally do something again! I´ll be around more from now on, even if not as much as I once used to.

Blair

Too many unexpected things were happening at once, the poor Blair barely knew how to react at all. Not only did Enju seem focused on taking this unknown boy with them but yet another one decided to join them while they were in a conversation. After what he told them it was clear that he was from their school, but who just goes up to people and talks to them because there are from your school? Blair just couldn´t understand such behavior, it seemed weird.
Luckily for her though, Blair wouldn´t have to deal with them as much. Hans went home because something happened in his dorms. Yes! That was incredibly lucky for Blair and it almost made her smile. Enju wouldn´t be sad or disappointed or anything, Blair was with her after all! The two besties together to hang out! That sounded like the perfect plan for Blair... if only there wasn´t a certain someone from their school who wanted to be polite and greet them. Well, as far as Blair knew Enju, she knew that Enju would probably want to chat with him more. She had to avoid that somehow.
"Oh uhm... we are just... enjoying the nice weather! We are actually in a hurry since we don´t want there to be too many people when we get icecream sooo..."

Blair sincerely hoped that Enju wouldn´t want to talk more to this guy. Of course, Blair was not able to judge whether he was nice or not, but she did not want to bother trying anyways. With an intense stare she looked at Enju, trying to get her point across. However, since Blair knew Enju for quite a while now, it was sort of obvious that she would want to have a longer conversation.

@Melpaws

Aaaaaaalright. Yeah, that didn´t quite work. I really didn´t expect to actually spend my whole holiday learning. I deeply apologize for all the inconvenience. All I can promise right now is that I will write something as soon as possible!

I think I might be able to swing something your direction, but it might take a bit of a while.

@Melpaws@liferusher

How are you two going right now? Just checking in to see how your characters are going to respond to @Zelosse's dude. Might be sending something in your direction in a bit of a while

@Crimmy

I have been busy basically 24/7 the past days but tomorrow i should have time!

Blair

Obviously the stranger which they approached was quite uncomfortable with their company. Of course, Blair was entirely against talking to new people, especially strangers. What good could there come out of it? The feeling appeared to be mutual as the boy tried to slither his way out of the situation but poor him didn´t know Enju. She wouldn´t let him get away that easily. Just when he was walking away, or at least attempting to, Enju stopped him in his path and claimed how Blair wanted to go eat icecream with him. With a shocked expression Blair faced both Enju and the boy.
"W...what? I never said-"

Blair was baffled to say the least. How could her own friend backstab her like that? Here she was, hoping that they could eat icecream together only Blair and Enju, now she drew some random stranger into this! This is not the way Blair imagined it at all! Even worse, the boy who introduced himself as Hans still seemed like he was not convinced. What good was Enju getting out of this?
"Enju are you sure...?"

The pink-haired girl still had not say a word to Hans. The only thing Blair did was sometimes stare at him, probably making him uncomfortable because her expression wasn´t the happiest. If it was for Enju, Blair would go with them of course even though it was not really what she wanted.
On the other hand, a foreigner like Hans sure was interesting to some extend. Such a different culture and language, it would be a worthy experience. Too bad Blair didn´t care about any of that! She just wanted to spend a good day with her bestie.
Blair turned back to face Hans too this time, giving him a sort of expecting look to say something.

@Crimmy
I do understand your point and i had a few problems in the past with spontaneity but i will Keep it civilized.

Persona - Academic Akrasia

@MelpawsI will wait before you two make your next two posts. That's fair enough. As a ten plus year roleplayer I have had very few issues in regards to post orders. I find the need for post orders redundant but it's all the same to me.

@vancexentan

I don´t ask you to wait for two posts, I just ask you to keep up the posting order. Basically you have to wait for the two other participants to post before you post yourself, this obviously applies to me and Liferusher too.

Redundant? Well maybe in your ten plus years of experience you never really roleplayed anything with a relevant story then. When a certain plot unfolds and there are more than two different characters participating, I find it a logical thing to wait for each player to have their turn. The only exception is when someone says themselves "Leave me out" or "Skip me". Otherwise you can do things without giving others the possibility to react at all which would destroy any plot-driven, and IMO every roleplay, almost immediantly if everyone just do what they want, when they want. If you play a game of cards with, let´s say, 4 people you can´t just skip one of them. It´s basically the same here, everyone needs their turn for there to be order in a roleplay, especially with a good plot. There might be exceptions in a slice of life roleplay for example or any other such genre of course, but this one is not one of them.

There is no official rule in this roleplay which insists on the need of a posting order, but if your participants would like to have one I think that it should not ruin your experience to wait one more day than usual. The result is a nice and fun roleplay where noone has to complain about not being able to react or maybe even having missed important plot events because of either speedposting (Which seemingly is no issue here) and/or skipping players.
