Either RolePlayerGuild.com is glitching, or everyone is studiously ignoring my PMs.

I know, I'm sorry, 3 weeks is CRAZY long. I hit a serious writing slump and just couldn't find it in me to write any words at all. It was worse than writer's block, I think. It wasn't just this RP; I've been slacking on all my RPs. It got so bad, I didn't even want to look at RolePlayerGuild for a while. I started getting my moxie back a few days ago and started work on preparations for the upcoming scene. I'll show you what I've got so far.

And yes, there was a bit of writer's block too on top of the slump, but I've climbed out of it with the introduction of a brand new major NPC character. She actually required the creation of a whole new planet, which I'm currently building lore for.

You may recognize the reference image from a popular anime series.

Let me introduce you to Astora Weslake.

This Crescent-born firebrand is the object of Krakticus Quinn's affections. She hails from Cronica, an important and advanced Crescent colony whose primary exports are geo-engineering equipment and livestreams of martial arts competitions. Unlike similar worlds with their level of technological advancement, the primary aim of the citizens is not entertainment, but philosophy, much like the ancient Greeks. Some of the most animated debates in the galaxy are held on Cronica.

Astora's the type to speak before she thinks, and it's won her a lot of enemies and admirers alike. She's not particularly religious, unlike many Crescents, and tends toward more agnostic and pragmatic leanings. Bubbly, flirtatious, and somewhat tomboyish, Astora is bound to be one of the many allies we'll be recruiting on our journey.

Development of both Cronica and Astora isn't complete, so the above is liable to change before it's ready for story use. Like, for starters, "bubbly, flirtatious, and tomboyish" is super cliche, so it's a stand-in for my mental image of her while I work on the nuances.

Your thoughts?

Dagnabbit! I forgot it was my turn. I'll take care of that soon.

I'm doing okay. My brain has been in Minecraft mode for the last few weeks. What are your plans for the Arcane Adventures RP?
The picture didn't show.

Yes, everyone in the city can use magic. Once the sages bring magecraft under control later on in the story, that'll change, but for now, anyone and everyone can use it.
@Lucius Cypher@ReusableSword@Norschtalen@TheForgottenArc
I should probably mention that NightKnight has left the game.

Also, a new post is up. Don't forget to subscribe to the thread, because I don't always remember to tag everyone. :P

Servants took down the requests and went shopping. By the time the sun rose to high noon, everyone received their requested items.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Winter said, and offered a respectful curtsy.
The king folded his arms and smirked. "You can thank me when you return from your journey."

As they turned to leave, the king began to cough and clutch at his throat. Suddenly, he dropped to his knees and vomited blood onto the floor. "What's...happening to me?" he groaned.
Winter raced to his side and materialized a gauntlet on her hand. She traced it over him, and paled when she learned the truth. "What the living hell?!..."

"He's melting. Inside out."

What were once the king's legs were now bags of skin. His sickening retches and groans filled the palace. Beyond pity and disgust, Winter felt a chill through her very soul. Magic. It must be. She glanced around and spotted a guard leaving through the front gate.

"After him!" she cried.

At that, the guard broke into a sprint and ran straight into the city, where chaos reigned. The magical energies from the chasm finally reached Midhaven, and people from all walks of life explored their new powers. Fire and ice, gale-force winds and cracking earth, clones and golems, magic of all kinds erupted throughout the city. Even the guards left behind their weapons to join the chaos. Tracking the assassin would be difficult.

Winter balled up her fists as she watched the party chase him out the palace gate.

I know who you are.

The time has come to settle old scores.
I should probably explain to everyone why I've been putting off writing. The plot as I'd been previously imagining it is boring me to death. Gathering supplies and going hiking is just not my idea of fun. So I'm trying to figure out how to give this thing the kick in the pants it needs, and I may have just figured it out. I'll be posting soon once I've hammered out the scene details.
I imagine Lynn to be a proud, refined lady with a quick wit and a sharp mind. Not easily moved to outward displays of emotion. She is a social bookworm - loves reading novels and discussing what she read with her friends. Develops friendships with men more easily than with women, though the few female friends she does have are close and strong. She's the kind of person who flirts endlessly with men she likes, but turns them all down in a heartbeat as soon as they try to get serious. If there is a man whose affections she'd accept, he'd be the sort never to flirt with her unless she's serious.
@ineffableYou know, I'd had half a mind to invite you too. Sure, you can join. Want to play as Lynn Melbourne?

Unfortunately, America is Terran, and is currently a major villainous power within the Terran Empire. However, the Crescents were inspired by the old American example and modeled their constitution after the United States constitution, in order that "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the universe." The Crescents are, effectively, the new "Americans."
