Bio
Y'all can call me Bard.
I've been RPing for about 15 years now.
I'm also an aspiring novelist and an avid writer of short stories.
I believe hardship and bad karma (regardless of how much good one does) are necessary for character development, aptly explained by a well selling writer:
"Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them—in order that the reader may see what they are made of." —Kurt Vonnegut

Oh, follow up because I just realized I forgot this thread, mostly hoping someonesomewere was going to post before now, I won't be around this weekend. Sorry for not remembering it sooner. It's still a few hours from game on, but I'll be away at a LARP until Sunday evening. I might get more time tonight to check via my mobile, but I won't be near my laptop until Sunday evening at best.
I found some time and am on my mobile, but i'd just like to put in my two cents regarding the question.
Most of us are still in or waiting on interactions. If we time skip it should be when everyone is done with their interactions instead of forcing them to drop it.
Edit to note that if it ends up just being someonesomewere waiting on me instead of the crowd at the aphrodite table interacting, then time skip to keep from holding you all up. But I'm just saying, if you wandered off to do your own thing kind of makes it selfish to ask to time skip if you're the only one not interacting with someone else.

Another sigh escaped Ariel, but this time, it wore away the frown that had claimed her face. A tiny smile, barely an upturn of her lips but noticeably sparkling in her eyes, spread in its wake. It was like there was a knot building in her stomach, and it suddenly released; a cool wave spread throughout her body even though she hadn't realized how tense she had been over the evolving situation. Thank you, father, and any of you others that may have been watching us, she thought. She turned slightly, just to check on what might happen with Press walking toward Walker, and was pleased to see it was nothing more than a reprimand. She would probably get to trying to convince him not to pester Adrian in the future, but for now - it looked like everything was relatively calm and cared for.
She turned back and - despite her brother's pleas for her to just sit back down and eat - headed over to the Ares table. Mean or not, he still just broke a tray with his fist. She stopped relatively near him, subconsciously stopping outside of arm's reach. "Pardon me, but may I please see your hand? It should be examined for broken bones and other damage that may prevent use." She offered him a soft smile, and held out her own hand slightly as a physical indication of her request.

Hey, I know there's a chance it'll get up and running before I get back, so I want to just leave this little note. I won't be around at all this weekend starting pretty much from the time I go to bed tonight until the time I get home on Sunday evening. At worst, I won't be around to post anything - if this starts over the weekend - until Monday after I get home from work.
Hey, I'm making my rounds and letting all the threads I'm in know I'm going to be gone this weekend. I might not be able to post today if a new round starts, and definitely nothing tomorrow through Sunday. At best, if a new round starts, I'll be able to post Sunday night when I get home. At worst, I'll be able to post on Monday.
Hey, Just want to shoot a quick word here. I'm not really going to be able to post anything for my characters until I get back from the LARP event I'm hitting this weekend. Don't have much time today, and won't have any time tomorrow through Sunday evening. At worst, I'll post Monday after work. Sorry.
Sorry about that. Been busy getting ready for a LARP weekend. I won't be around for much of tonight and definitely not around tomorrow through Sunday evening (EST). I may be able to check the thread tomorrow night via mobile, but it sucks for posting on. At best, I'll be back on and able to do stuff Sunday night. At worst, Monday when I get home from work.
Figured I'd give you a heads up since you're waiting on me.

Well, as luck would have it for you, tonight is the last night I'm on until Sunday evening (and that's only if I am not completely exhausted when I get home.) I leave for a LARP right after work tomorrow and will have a packed weekend of nerf gun/RP intense fun. At the latest, I'll be able to post again on Monday after work if I don't have anything to say tonight before I hit the hay.)
A sigh sank Ariel's shoulders, though she wasn't sure if it was relief or disappointment. On the one hand, nothing more was injured than Adrian's hand - and if there were no broken bones, that was a minor thing to mend - while on the other, with Press' metal falcon involved even after Walker was away, things were probably going to get worse before they got better. The frown still bore deep lines on her face while her gaze followed Walker around her.
"Good morning, but I keep telling you I am not - " A gasp cut off her sternly toned words as someone -the same sibling that always went looking for her when her bunk was empty from the sound of the shouted warning - yanked her backward; if he hadn't held onto her, she would have fallen flat on her backside. The tray half clipped her cheek as she fell back against her sibling; a glaring red mark pecked with blood remained as evidence.
She ignored the stinging - it would fade soon enough when she went about her day in the sun - and stood up. Looking back toward Adrian, she spotted the mechanical bird in front of him. "Boys, please, just settle down. Walker is no longer near him," her gaze scanned the demi-gods for Press, but he was no where to be seen. "So if you would please call back Horus maybe we can all just sit and have a pleasant meal. There is no reason for this confrontation to continue." It wouldn't do anyone any good, especially not anyone that continued to act aggressively toward Adrian.

Ariel looked up when she finally heard a familiar laugh; at first she thought it was just her imagination, but there was something worrisome about it. She turned to look, because she just had to make sure the owner of that laugh wasn't getting in trouble. Unfortunately, by the time she figured out it was - in fact - Walker, and he was - in fact - getting into trouble with Adrian, the commotion the two created already escalated to a dangerous point. She shot to her feet just as the regrettably anti-social Ares son was taking a swing at still unclaimed boy. Her fork clattered to the plate, forgotten.
Her face fell, seeing the swing for the punch and a frown wore onto her face more when she heard Press before she even saw him walking over. "Everyone just stop, please," she said, doing her best not to shout. Even if that hit landed, she could deal with the injury. She prayed to her father, and any other god that would listen, that this not get worse. It wasn't something they would intervene with, but it didn't stop her from praying.
"Conflict amongst each other never does any of us any good." As she spoke, she stepped away from her table and closer to Adrian and Walker. She had no intentions of getting too close, preventing either from moving if necessary, but she at least needed to be closer to help if - more likely when - one of them was hurt. That one would probably end up being Walker.
