The Summoner's Labyrinth - Recycle your old characters in my new idea.

I didn't check the link, but she's generally right and answers most of my questions, which is awesome 'cause I'm lazy.

Yup, she was right. Do that thing she said.

The Summoner's Labyrinth

Ow, Rufus. :c Thanks for the confidence. ;___; and Glitchy you're welcome to submit a character, but Idk when you'll be introduced or when I can work with you on it. However if you don't submit I'll probably forget you asked. >_>

Also, since Rufus posted, I now have a full group's attention. Neat.

Edit: It was neat, but apparently the last person added to that group isn't complete. Sigh. I only need one question answered but Idk if they'll be on before I sleep, although patterns would suggest I'll have it by morning. I wish I had the self control not to say plans so that when they inevitably fail I don't feel as bad. XD

The Summoner's Labyrinth

You felt it -- all of you. It wasn't the feeling of a pull, or the force of a push, or anything you can describe, but you know you felt it. You felt those eyes, bright as suns, burn off your current form and seal over a different one. The eyes were smiling, even if you could not see his face you could tell. Galileo's name was not secret the minute you felt his curious stare, the name ringing through your head behind an annoying chuckle of victory to a game that had not yet started while existence itself seemed to halt.

The eyes,
The name,
The laugh,
Then, the speech:

"Greetings, player. Pawn. Token. Piece..." The words were mocking, but somehow they conveyed respect. The voice was more than disembodied, and somehow utterly devoid of accents or tone, as if your own thoughts were speaking to you. "You're... 'invited' to take a gamer's seat by the board I've created. I say 'invited' because, whether you know it or not, you've all accepted what there was a chance to decline and for that will be rewarded access to something the likes of which you've never seen. Explaining the situation any further, however, is against the rules and will ruin all the fun...." At this point, somehow, the voice smiled. "...and no one appreciates fun like Galileo." The name struck again, dropping itself into a part of your mind that seemed unable to forget it, even if you wanted to. The speech began to ramp up, as if these thoughts of yours could no longer contain their excitement. "I am the painter of a certain end, but more so the painter of a sure beginning. So, to enjoy my art and to experience an end, we must... begin."

"The short speech came to an end,
Your breached mind came to a bend,
The great Galileo reaps what he's sown,
Your existence is property, and now it is owned."

Life ceased as you had your existence seized... The eyes could still be felt, but could not be reacted to or properly located. The feeling was becoming even less describable as every aspect of yourself and everything you know was twisted into position. Every sense voided, including that of time, and yet you remained conscious. Weight applied in all directions, skin burned at all points, yet no pressure or pain. Time moved at accelerated speeds, but not a moment passed. The foreground of your life was pulled away and replaced with a new one. Just in the moment that your actions suddenly had consequence again, your mind began to speak a second time, this time as if there were multiple listeners...

I was gonna wait 24 hours but I think 21-22 is enough, so I'm posting the IC now, and you should all know it's just a minor prelude to the individual party intros. Also, an old thing I forgot to say and new thing:

After all groups have been activated, I will put all characters in the IC for reference purposes only. This will make it easier when you meet other groups or people and we don't have to keep sharing them, and it'll be your job to find out who is who outside of your group (unless you don't want to know) when you come upon them. I suppose you can look at them before then, but using any information on someone's sheet is not allowed unless it's been shared IC so I'd prefer you didn't. To this point, I have a question: Should I post abilities and biographies too or just some basic information like I was planning on? (The questions I had you add will not be in the entry)

Secondly, I think about a week or two (time will honestly depend on how quickly your post times are) I'll create individual game-threads for each party. I'm not doing so until a certain time has passed for reasons I feel are important enough that I'm willing to flood all of our inboxes, but mostly for observation and privatization of the starting parts and also because I expect most group departures to be at the beginning (which you should also keep in mind when it starts to annoy you). While we're in messages, however, I will be making a game-thread for every time groups meet.

Edit: *Finally posts one hour later* I took out a section and split it around a bit. I'm pretty sure I'm just making it worse, but I can't stop editing stuff. xD And it doesn't seem like any group is completely here... that's unfortunate. I am probably going to start one anyway, seeing as I've only given one day of notice and I can't expect everyone to be on as much as me -- usually people have stuff to do. >_>

Chasing the Sky

Don't worry, same happens to me. I can't really handle being bored...

Chasing the Sky

WOOOO VIOLENCE.

Chasing the Sky

Dropping them by shanking them? >_>

The Summoner's Labyrinth

It won't be long now, I promise, though I can't guarantee when your group will start. Now that you've all been partied up, I have to get the attention of everyone in a party before I can start them.

Chasing the Sky

DO SOME SHANKING. GO BRIGETTE.

The Summoner's Labyrinth

Oh no! I hope he reads that, Komamisa. I'ma message him 'cause I don't like losing people. >_> And I agree about people leaving parties, but I couldn't think of a way around it other than starting a new one for those still in the party.... hm, I suppose since my inbox is already packed I didn't really view it as such a problem and I apologize.

While I can't control anyone's decisions, Ionion is right: for the sake of this RP and people who like inbox space, please do not party jump without valid reasoning. Again, this is why I left this up for a bit (unfortunately I fell asleep and it was longer than expected). This is entirely experimental and being up to the task from the start is important. I apologize for the inconveniences it's going to cause, but I'm confident that if this game goes as expected it will be well worth it. ^-^

Hmm... actually, Ziogen, that doesn't seem like a bad idea. Something like that could be applied at any point, I suppose, so I'll keep working on it while we go.
