Well, Myrr has saved Akigatsu from getting brained by a thrown cast iron pot.

Edit: I'm cool with it. Can't expect people to wait for me when I'm still recovering lol.

Trying too. Pain meds and just pain in general make it a bit harder.

Working on something.

Brom: May I offer you a slime in these trying times?

I know where you are coming from but from my perspective this is just not the right call to make. I’m not here to argue but sometimes you have to give people the benefit of the doubt rather than assume that people got sick of the game or are lazy. Communication can be improved on our part this is true but this is also a game where people are posting more consistently than others. Not perfectly on schedule but more consistent and that’s a lot more than I can say about a lot of games here on this site. Issuing warnings when people have mostly been consistent but now are waiting for others so they can contribute to the game does not contribute to a positive, creative environment. It alienates those who are trying to catch up and punishes those who have been giving them a chance to. Like when we got a Myrr post I was away from my home for hours and got home late after driving two hours through a blizzard. I didn’t even know there was a post until the next day when I was going to post and you posted your warning.

I would understand the warning if we haven’t been posting for a real long while but lulls happen even in the busiest of games. There are better ways to prod people to post, like letting them know you’re gonna move to the next scene and give us last calls to post because we certainly will post then, addressing an individual privately if they’ve really fallen behind, or just ride the lull out and have faith that your players are going to post and have a little bit leniency that they may not tell you everything all the time because they’re also human and make mistakes.

I can say for myself that I am enjoying the game a lot and hope it goes on. I’m not saying this to criticize or to be rude but to at least offer my thoughts on the matter because I don’t particularly see a problem that can’t be solved gently.

Early afternoon

Now there was a question. The dwarf arched his brow as he contemplated such a notion of taming a slime. "In the same way one could tame a slug I'd suppose," he said with a shrug. "They aren't exactly bright creatures, but keep one full enough that it doesn't eat through a pen then I suppose it would be fine." It was with great caution that he said that. Slimes were not exactly known as intelligent monsters, hell, he was not even sure if they had the capacity to form attachments.

"Assuming that the impurities are anything not metal," Brom pointed out. Then again, it was not like he was some monster expert either. Perhaps out there was a slime that with such a powerful acidic ability that it could eat away at impurities though not the metal itself. However, what he could say was that he never thought about milking a slime. "Milking a slime huh...?" His mind drifted off to a thought bubble when the image of a slime, but then it became pixelated when he thought about a slime having the parts of a mammal needed to be milked.

Brom swatted away the thought bubble quickly as if to erase it from memory. "That's an image I never wish to think of again." He muttered gravely to himself. Though at the very least the mental image of the milkable slime was replaced by the charming, if clumsy image of the elf herbalist stumbling forward before catching herself. The dwarf kept his eyes averted from hers, whistling to himself a tune though he for the life of him could not hide the corners of his mouth curling upwards ever so slightly.

However, his attention once again was brought to the slime trapped within the pot. The two of them were making the same assumption. "You are both assuming that I've never cooked a slime before," he said with a playful smirk. "It's gonna be a bit strange, but I know exactly how to get rid of the corrosive effects of the slime though it's gonna involve using the wood we just picked. Well, the by product of it. It'll be easier if I show you."

Was Brom playing purposefully vague? Yes, yes he was. Was he also playing this up? Also, yes. Was he having fun with it? Most definitely yes.

Eventually, the trio would arrive at the village with wood and slime in tow. "Hello everyone! What have we missed?"

That is true, but the issue is that not everyone has time to get on the site and say what's going on with their lives. I myself could've communicated better, but some people are genuinely very busy. Like on Wednesday I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed, all of them, and I'm heading to Australia in the beginning of March because I need to go help my family to sell my grandmother's apartment, remove the belongings, and do work on it like replacing carpeting and new paint. She's alive by the way, just going into an assisted living facility.

A New Day; Cozy Fantasy Village Life

Dude, some of us are just trying to let others get in some posts too. Like I've had chances to post, but I don't want to make it even harder for people to jump in if they fall behind.

My Hero Academia: Just Another Hero, Act 2

What in the hell was going on? One second the hologram flickered off and the second she reappeared looking like a peacock with those feathers. This must've been her quirk, some sort of illusion or projection based ability because she absolutely doubted that their teacher could teleport though that was not the important thing. There were now two more four star heroes than there were only a few minutes ago, two more people that she should take seriously as competition and of those two she was paired up with the other tomboy apparently against someone on the bottom rung of the Furious Five.

Well, even the weakest one could still be a threat, she thought to herself. After all, this Jace had to be capable if he was a part of the school's top five in the hero department though perhaps the pecking order was going to change soon.

Mischa looked at Jun and returned a confident smile. "It'll be done and dusted."

---

"I can think of a few people who would pay some serious cash to watch some people wear these outfits," Mischa mused to herself. She certainly was no prude and she certainly was proud of her body. After all, she had to have a strong, tough physique to withstand the strain of her own quirk when under high amounts of g-forces. However, she had no illusions that this was bordering onto being someone's thinly veiled fetish, but then again, a lot of heroes did wear skin tight unitards though she was certain that some heroes used them for their sex appeal.

However, it seemed like there was someone allowed to dress in their hero costume. Mischa did some practice kicks and punches to test the suit's flexibility and mobility when she saw that someone was dressed as, for lack of a better word, a bat. Well, inspired by a bat. Playboy millionaire? She chuckled to herself though her gaze certainly did linger for a bit longer than she intended. Doesn't look half bad either. Wouldn't mind a piece of that-

She clapped her cheeks hard with her hands loud enough that one would've thought she left hand marks on her cheeks. Mischa muttered to herself, "Focus, Mischa, focus! Spar now, thirst later!" Hopefully no one caught on to that.

They probably didn't notice due to the web slinger swinging his way through the training grounds. Wait isn't that the number one hero in Japan? He sounded so... young for lack of a better word. He couldn't have been much older than her. Why exactly was he here anyway? Well, whatever the case was she certainly could confirm one thing about him: he really did have quite the mouth.

Jun turned to Mischa and she could see the cogs turning in her head. Oh, she was most definitely going to be fun to work with. "Ms. Yatagarasu did say we don't have to hold back, so I can't imagine they are. Maybe drop a few buildings on some people for good measure." Mischa half jokingly said with a grin. "I think the Furious Five are gonna have to step it up to beat this Dynamic Duo."

My Hero Academia: Just Another Hero, Act 2

Oh this sweet, sweet girl really was trying though she really was pushing herself to speak English for no actual reason. Mischa could communicate with her in Japanese, but now it felt like it would be rude to since Rin went out of her way to greet her in a language that she was not so familiar with. Mischa bore a warm, yet polite smile and said in perfect English, "Mischa Belic, a pleasure to meet you." Her eyes trailed to the desk that Rin pointed towards. Oh, that was her seat.

"Dankje," she nodded at Rin and was about to scurry over to her desk when a woman just appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the room. Technology like this wasn't exclusive to Japan; it was made use of in the Netherlands though while a teacher came out through a projection of light, prostitutes and brothels were advertised with holograms, among other things because Amsterdam is their Sin City. Frankly, it was more surprising to see a hologram used in a classroom setting, but the college must've been raking it in. Still, that was not exactly the real thing she was focusing.

Detention?! Can she do that?! We're in college! What in the fresh hell happened here that they felt the need to institute detention for adults?! Mischa screamed in her mind, staring incredulously at the weirdo that roused from his slumber. Maybe she should've gone to America instead.

Before she could even take another step, someone from the blue man group practically manifested right in front of her. Well, he was quite eager, like a golden retriever. A blue retriever. And at least he spoke to her in Japanese. "Not many Dutch girls enrolled here I can imagine," the Dutch woman said with a smirk though it was certainly odd? Did the school already give them her information? How much about her did they actually know?

The hologram turned to Mischa and at least was friendly enough to her. So this was her homeroom teacher. At least there's a face to put to the name. She nodded at the professor politely and made her way to her seat, her eyes glancing around the classroom to get a good look at the faces of her classmates. Mischa settled at her desk and made herself as comfortable as she could, leaning back in her seat with her to-go cup of coffee in hand as she listened to Ms. Yatagarasu explain their itinerary.

Sounds like a lot happened before She sipped her cup of coffee while she listened though her ears perked up at the mention of the 'Furious Five.' Wait, Furious Five? I thought they only had those kinds of nicknames for elite students in manga. They actually do that here? Sometimes reality really did imitate art. Or was it the other way in this case?

Speaking of art, it had not escaped Mischa's notice that the technical hiccup that revealed her teacher's collection of bl and yaoi. Mischa took a sip from her coffee cup apparently nonplussed. She's got good taste... Wait, was that one mi- No, do not acknowledge it. They can sense it.

And yeah, Otheon. As much as it pained her to leave Japan as quickly as she got there, being in Otheon wouldn't pose much of a problem to her. That was one of the perks of being multilingual and it's not like it would be her first time in the country. What was more of a concern was if her classmates would actually be okay or not.

Mischa raised her hand and when called upon said, "A few questions actually. First, while you said that this is an 'eduvacation,' will heroes not classified as four stars will receive temporary four star status to work abroad? Will those already classified as four stars be allowed to do hero work in Otheon? Also, in regards to sparring, are you giving us permission to go all out?"
