[Flow 1,633]

Alright, business is rolling once again, and this summer break is getting me fired up to post, be expecting one soon, also I am in the process of creating another OC, she's an earth pony who is pretty much a ponified version of my human OC.

Haha!

 

ZE CAT IS OUT OF THE BAG ONCE AGAIN!

 

I'm really glad you were able to post again Key. I think I can say that it was not only us who were wanting a post but also you who wanted to post too. Well, luckily, you're our sturdy turkey. And we will keep hugging you to keep you going Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to prepare myself for the madness I am about to witness, once more. ALLONS-Y!

Don't click if you haven't read Magicon's latest post.

 

It suddenly all made sense! On that night Bringer was Springer and Scarlet was Trixie! They had escaped the dream world and mingled amongst the passengers on the train!

 

Yes. Yes, indeed. With these few words and the actions of Lapis, we tripped and fell into the climax of the RP, going at breakneck speed. Words cannot express my excitement right now. I have things to write. Things that I hope will be beautiful. This next post will be wild, even by my normal standards. Expect it on Tuesday, late late late at night, of course. I will have to manage my sleep schedule.

Okay. This keeps happening, so I might as well explain it. I haven't said anything earlier because it is a humiliating to even acknowledge it. With that said, I do owe some explanation for my delays and lack of patience compared to normal.

 

I will make the long story short. For the past five or six months, I have made very little recovery from my injury. Doctors are basically useless because there is very little knowledge on the subject, and there are no treatments or surgeries that have a guaranteed effect.

 

I did my own research and realized that I probably need to increase my upper body strength in order to continue my recovery. To do this, I have been looking for and trying out various programs to help me. I am currently following a program that was recommended by others with RSI. I started the program last week; I could only do 5 good form push ups. I used to be able to do 60, without stopping for a break. That is a lot of muscular atrophy.

 

Now, I bet you're wondering why I said all of this? Well, it is simple. This stuff hurts. A lot. It will help me in the long term, but for now, this is just painful. The problem with this is that my normal daily typing is already fairly painful. My job has required a lot of typing lately, much more than normal. I am working on a project that some of you are aware of, and it requires typing as well. These posts require typing. That is a lot of typing, given my current issues.

 

Keep in mind, this affects my wrists, hands, fingers, arms, back, and everything else connected to my nervous system. It isn't just a localized pain, it's everywhere. Too much of it, and I have a hard time sleeping. If things get really bad, I actually shiver randomly, regardless of the temperature. The shivering is due to residual nerve damage. I can recover, but it takes time and it will take more short term horror.

 

As you can imagine, this makes posting more difficult than it normally is for me. RP posting requires long periods of uninterrupted typing. It isn't like Skype where I can fire and then delay for minutes. The smart thing to do when injured *is* to take breaks every minute, but I cannot do that for an RP post, because it disrupts the stream of consciousness. This means that I basically type without stopping at all. I can generally ignore the pain and just keep rolling but, lately, this has proved unwise. 

 

I have been biting off more than I can chew by mixing excessive typing and my work week. The result of this has been sleep deprivation due pain that normal, over the counter, painkillers don't help with. Sleep deprivation makes me grumpy, unable to think straight, and not really able to heal from the earlier damage caused by extended typing. Pain makes me much grumpier and makes me see red constantly (more than I normally do). It's a vicious cycle.

 

Because of all this, I doubt that I will be able to post much more than once per week for now. I would appreciate patience during this time. I know that we are at the end, and I will finish the RP. However, I am trying to recover further right now. I am not happy with constant pain when I do normal things. If I stop this now, then I may slide back into intense pain later on by doing nothing. I am ashamed to say it, but I fear intense pain like I had earlier on - it made life almost unbearable. 

 

Please, try to avoid heckling me regarding posting. I'm working on posts continuously, but the pace is gratingly slow and I have to cut things before wrecking myself. Heckling me only serves to make me fiercely angry, miserable, and defensive. It is humiliating to be too physically weak to do what I want to do, so I don't see the point in ribbing me when I am already tired. I'm already ribbing myself, and it does nothing. Be patient. We've been at this for quite some time and it has been a fun ride. An extra month or two to reach the ending wouldn't kill anyone, but goading a tired and grumpy me into hurting myself would kill me through suffering that you wouldn't even feel. That wouldn't be nice.

 

This public service announcement was sponsored by sleeplessness and self-observation. Thank you.

On a separate and unrelated PSA, I also have to address something, though not as serious as Luminescence's. As I have mentioned on Skype I will be heading on a cruise between July 12-21 and will have no access to the internet as I will not be bringing my laptop with me (due to fear of loss, damage, and desire to just get away from everything). As a result I will not be posting during that time. Luminescence has informed me that he will suspend the RP during that time, which is fine by me and probably the best for him to help him recuperate with his injury. But I will leave the ultimate decision with him. I hope this does not inconvenience anyone and I look forward to continue RPing with you all as soon as I get back. 

[Flow 1,633]

Because of Magicon's cruise trip, I guess that will give Lumi some time to take it easy from typing due to his pains, sure I don't mind the RP getting suspended at that time, it would be for his sake and Magicon's sweet break,

 

No worries here!

EDIT: I made changes to my message to make it sound more clear, also I've revamped Flow's backstory, feel free to check it out!

Yes...

 

I think that this is something that I will need to do at that time. I can be fanatically stubborn when it comes to ignoring myself and my own need for taking a break, but this is one time when I should smash my head with a hammer, tie myself up, and lock myself in a chest until the 21st. Just make sure to open the box and release me when you get back. If not... Then... At least slide some fruit sandwiches in or something. I'll probably be hungry.

 

I will likely post tomorrow, then I will lock myself away. I may still work on some things, but they will not be giant walls of text. Maybe, some small paragraphs. If I start to do otherwise, then I trust that one of the other RP players will shoot me or something.

Yay!

Be at ease, no one's here in a rush for anything in this RP. If someone actually dared to hurry you up, just post his name here and I'll bring out the torches. It's been a while since I burned a heretic.

Hey guys, just thought I'd let you guys know that Luminescence is going to start his little RP vacation early. We had spoken a little, and he said that his work has been constant typing so far, and that hasn't helped him out any. So yeah, he's just gonna try and take it as easy as he can while Magicon is away. So expect a post sometime after Magicon's return. When he posts is entirely up to him, too, so yeah For now, rest easy, Lumi

[Key Gear 6,664]

It's been a while since this was posted in, so I would like to provide an update. I'll start with a warning. Don't get overwhelmed reading the latest post. The whole thing can be read and read straight through, but you may want to select the areas that apply specifically to you to and reread them carefully. The RP is almost over, at this point. I do not think that we have more than 3 or 4 posts remaining until the end. Be careful to make those posts count! (Don't worry, not all of them will be this long. In fact, this post will be unique in length. This is what happens when you set up the climaxes for several locations and groups of characters in a single post.)

 

Also. In case it is not abundantly clear, I am back and we are back on track. My program to recover my hands is working, and I expect further improvements to my abilities. I have stabilized my sleep schedule, diet, and several other things. My posting schedule is once per weekend until the end of this RP. I expect all players to reply within a week unless something horrible happens to delay your reply. Let's keep things moving at a good pace. (Pleeeaaaase respond to the RP. I wish to post for all characters, every weekend, until this thing is over. Help me and I will help you to make this end of the story a magnificent one!)

lol, if Bolt knew that was his mom, he probably wouldn't have questioned her like that... But that's all OOC knowledge, and Bolt only knows that Kay is a talking cat
