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.

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.
