League of Da Legends!

It's nearly been two weeks since I jumped in, that's a bit longer than a second~ xD
Really envy you for having a group though, I used to have one... and then one of them quit... another decided they couldn't handle a random on the team. And everything unraveled itself from there. >_<

On one hand I can boast that I'm the last one standing... on the other... It sucks xD

As for ranked
I'm unranked~
The people are bad enough in unranked, and they've got nothing to lose.
Don't want to imagine how snappy people would get in ranked with ELO involved.
LoL is a game for me, it's not an Esport~

Oh I'm not foolish enough to laugh at a Bard xD
Think he's the only champion in game who can troll you from a safe distance.
I mean there's the Blitz grab, that pulls their tanky bruiser to your crap all health adc... but it's not quite the same as preventing your team mate from backing/escaping...

Think I've seen three bards now that have been abused, and started doing that xD
Santa Clause is scary xD

League of Da Legends!

Mixed feelings to be honest, I've been playing the game for awhile... and I find the game overall entertaining.
I absolutely love the fact that I can play a single game, rather than spending hours and hours keeping up.

But then there's the community... and that's an entire rant of its own xD

I'm sort of getting sick of playing solo-queue though xD
I'm not really a hardcore gamer, so the idea of logging in daily and playing half-a-dozen games doesn't really appeal to me. I've hooked up with communities and players in the past but...

I get told;
A) To "Uninstall you useless bronzie!"
B) "Sorry you're not around enough, we've got 5"
C) *They Disappear/Quit*

As I said, it's a fun game and all... but ehh, solo-queue (unranked) sometimes gets so tedious >_<

Due to several complication within the roleplay, and certain circumstances taking a turn for the worst in my life, I've sadly lost the motivation to keep this going.

Apologies to all involved.
I'm sure most of you will find a new home to play in pretty quickly, but regardless
Sorry for wasting your time. >_<

For the love of all things juicy and tender, where on earth were all these wingless monstrosities coming from? First it’d been that blonde man parachuting his way down on him, then the crazy demon girl, the jack-in-the-bush, and now… a very peculiar girl who sounded like she’d been let out of the crib a few years too early. Were it not for her agonizingly chirripy voice Zeke might have bothered to take note of her delicate features, but unfortunately now was neither the place nor time for that. For starters Emily had mentioned his ears and tail, and that brought back memories of the first blonde man. Now that he thought about it, these ‘creatures’ looked a lot like himself with the exception of his ears and tail….. were they…. Jealous? Did they want to cut of his ears and attach them to their own skulls?

Shaking his head violently, it was at that exact moment he noticed someone had snuck up behind him. A cold shiver shuddering down his spine as he heard the menacing voice of the demon lady for the very first time. The affirmation that these creatures meant to cause him harm didn’t soothe his frizzled nerves in the slightest, hence… without any hesitation he grabbed a hold of Emilie’s hand. Squeezing on it a bit roughly before yanking her forward towards him, swinging her a bit to the side before shoving her right into Akiko.

Akiko’s words really hadn’t helped at all, as Zeke now realized just how possible it was that he’d be roasting over an open-cook pit in a few hours. There were already too many wingless birdmen around, and if the current pattern of things was anything to go by, there were probably a few more lurking in the bushes. Wide-eyed and panicky, he ran straight for Ian in a mad desperate charge for freedom, narrowly he missed a full on collision, intentionally knocking the poor youth over as he sped past and headed towards ‘home’ using the shortest possible route he could think of.

These people were crazy, outright out of their minds.
He needed to get away, and the only place he knew he’d be safe was locked away from scary scary nature.
Not even bothering to check if he was being followed, Zeke sped along through the thickly forested area, believing that those behind either would learn their place and leave his poor ears alone.

Toybox Memories

Haha, I'll get around to that in a bit, wanted to let Cheese get in a post before I did anything.
Actually have an assignment due this Friday that I've barely touched so I'm not exactly in a hurry to get things moving anyway.

As for Zeke the issue with him isn't supposed to be resolved in the immediate future.
But I've got that worked out... maybe xD

I know a few people are being held up, but I also know a few people have had things change around them and haven't been able to keep up, so about conflicted on whether I should post or not. But eh, maybe after a nap xD

Toybox Memories

Haha, I'm not entirely sure about that! *Evil laughter*

Well, the reason that's not happening is actually neither dramatic nor interesting...
Posting has been really slow over the weekend, and hasn't really recovered today either.
I'm actually considering doing a quick head count again for this roleplay to see how many people have survived past this preliminary 'gathering' phase I hadn't anticipated, personally I'd imagined most people just stumbling across the school and meeting there xD

But that's okay, no real harm done.
Due to prolonged inactivity from Mia/Asuna Yuuki their character has now been officially removed from this roleplay (Which I think is fair). I've seen KoL/Melody/Nom/Crimmy around so I'm going to count those four as still present.
Getting a heads up from @Onarax, @TrixyTrix, & @Bleu Chess would be nice too.

After looking things over, I'm afraid the roleplay didn't start off as well as it could have. Apparently I'm a lot rustier than I thought I was. I'll be altering a few 'technical things' on my end shortly as I believe it's inevitable to keep this RP going. But before I do, I really do need to know who's no longer interested in sticking around. (AKA If things are too hard on you (RL) or this roleplay has failed to hold your interest now would be a good time to opt out) Not saying I want anyone gone, but just providing the option at this stage.

Zeke couldn’t help but roll his eyes as he heard the blond man asking him to ‘come back.’ Not even the dumbest animal Zeke could think of would have obliged such a ridiculously suicidal request. The man really did seem harmless and a bit buffoonish, especially when he stumbled and staggered around in his hopelessly futile attempts to give chase, the only thing intimidating about Aleric was amount of noise he was making as he followed. Seemingly slamming his foot down on every twig as he walked. It even sounded like he’d walked into a tree once or twice… but surely that had to be Zeke’s imagination?

Zeke was more worried about the other presence his sensitive ears had picked up on. Someone who ‘smelled’ significantly different from the earthy scented mushroom diver. The second presence moved with much more confidence, not quite swiftly to be considered a hunter, but something in the air seemed to give of the vibe that Zeke didn’t want their paths to cross.

Fortunately Zeke was a fair way away when Akiko burst out to intersect the path Zeke had already passed by. Though when he heard the brunette girl chasing after him, the wolf-man was fears had been confirmed. These… ‘creatures’ weren’t definitely predators, no docile harmless creature Zeke had ever come across would ever chase him so persistently, and…. The deep crimson red eyes of the woman trailing after him looked dangerously, reflecting the sunlight and bathed in the shadows of the tree canopy in the worst possible way, giving her what many would consider a dangerously sinister look.

Unfortunately Zeke attention had been so focused on getting away from red-eyes that he’d failed to pay attention to the group he originally headed for, and by the time he turned his head to place his gaze on Ian, the shorter male burst out from behind a wall of bushes. Startling Zeke and causing him to ungracefully fall backwards onto his backside. These…. ‘mushroom lovers’ were appearing all over the place, almost like goblins in a mineshaft. Fortunately though Ian seemed just as startled by his presence as Zeke had been, and without giving it any further thought Zeke scrambled back onto his feet before veering sharply off to the left. It was a slight detour, but the stealthy appearance out of thin air was enough to make Zeke think twice about intersecting the loud group he’d heard earlier.

Managing to quickly gain some ground, Zeke smugly stopped and arrogantly swished his tail in a mocking gesture.
“You wingless birdmen are slow, you should just give up and go home before you fall out of a tree like the first one” Zeke smirked smugly. “You don’t belong here, this is my forest, my mushrooms, and my ears!” he added, holding out one arm to the side to indicate his forest, before placing his hand protectively on the ear that Aleric had so rudely poked.

And~ It's day 3 of the roleplay and we're on 20 posts!
Not too speedy, but good enough progress I think. I know a few of you want to post more frequently (according to at least one PM), but for the time being I think this is a good pace to be moving at post wise. Plot wise... I guess we could speed it up a bit.

To commemorate post 20.... too soon? Okay. Umm to celebrate 3 days of... eh?.... Fine
Because I'm an ass, I'm going to be offering up feedback on characters as I'd rather address any issues and concerns sooner rather than later. I've been PM'ed by a few (Okay, just three people) regarding things over the past days, and I figured I should speak out as GM. Please note that this is not a good/bad player thing, but just a public announcement. I was originally going to PM the first three, but figured it'd be equally rude to praise a few and pretend others didn't exist. Plus, posting publicly means that others can express disagreement for a more accurate feel.

@Crimmy/Brooklyn
Not entirely sure what to do with Brook at the moment, though I should probably caution you that Brook staying up alone in a tree is likely going to get her killed, or have a near-death experience. Not all characters need to meet up with the 'main group' (that's developed) before getting to the school, but simply staying put and hoping for the best sounds silly and uncharacteristic of someone who's got the trait of 'cognitive.' Just as a random note I encourage initiave roleplaying, not reactive where possible. Can't really say much about Brooke at the moment since there's really been very little activity outside monologue'ing xD

@Onarax/Brock
Hmm, going to state that I've got rather mixed feelings about thew hole first-person typing. It's not bad in any way, but it's a bit confusing and awkward since I'm not used to first-person. Normally I'd just suck it up and stay quiet, but I have received an anonymous message that mentioned to me they're also discomforted by the first-person roleplaying. The character itself though I think has pretty good potential, and personally I think third person would look better, but that's just me.

Regardless of whether you decide to change or not, I'm going to have to say that adding your characters name at the top of your post will be mandatory if you intend to post first post, like so;

Brock

@Asuna Yuuki/Mia
No, that's not MIA(Missing in action) but the name of their character. xD

Remember how I said I wasn't going to nitpick at people who I felt weren't posting enough? Well, I lied! xD At least I lied regarding the current phase of the roleplay. Seeing as how there's been no IC or OoC posts from this character I'll be contacting their player today. (I mentioned how I was paranoid about people posting a CS and never following up). They haven't logged in since posting their character, and I had to remind them to do that as well... so I'm guessing they've either lost interest, or are really busy. I'm going to use this opportunity to remind people to try mentioning something in the OoC like NomNom did. It really helps and I think it's the basics of group communication/cohesion.

Others
Personally I'm liking most of the characters. @Karamonnom/Emilie and @KoL/Kotori in particular because of their 'set' personality showing through really clearly. At first I was feeling a bit conflicted, but Emilie's "I have no idea where I am, but... can I touch your hair?" approach is silly, but really emphasizes her personality. Likewise Kotori's speaking in riddles felt odd at first, but I think the whole 'mysterious introvert' thing would be pretty interesting in the long run. Hoping to add @TrixyTrix/Akiko to this list, but it's a bit hard to call at this stage.

@Bleu Chess/Aleric had a really interesting start, and I like the way he responded to Zeke, so I'm hoping for his character to continue shining the way it is. @MelodyNoir/Ian likewise seems to be the center of the 'main group' so far (though it might have something to do with the way he greets/introduces everyone). Glad I appointed a Co-GM that seems to be keeping things together xD

Toybox Memories

@KoL Well I meant 'Emilie' in my post, so yeah I'm referring to the general group that's gotten together.
That said, I decided to leave the 'arrival' vague so that people could still keep interacting if they wanted to wrap their conversation up before someone else barged in on the scene.
