planning Beyond these walls Chapter 2: A Darker Fate (Adventure, Survival, EPIC!)

[Midnight Scribbler 1,705]

Just a general question for team Brandy. Is anyone still inside the cabin upstairs? Or has everyone pretty well vacated? I can't remember where everyone ended up.

@@Tricksters Pride,

 

I do not: I've nothing against it but the last time I did I ended up inundated with requests from everyone under the sun and their mothers.

 

Since I hate saying no when I'd already done one, I decided that I simply didn't do them. Saves the hassle and there's not enough hours in the day anyway.

 

(On that note, I am running pretty much purely on caffeine and 3/4 hours sleep at the minute, so please excuse any spelling / grammar errors!)

 

@@Midnight Scribbler,

 

I'm pretty sure Blast was upstairs? Or did he come back down? Or am I thinking of someone else? Head no work today!

 

No, I'm pretty sure he came back down. I think. I'm struggling to remember what colour purple is right now, never mind the locations of various ponies.

There's too much to read and not enough time to read it all.

Basically everypony went outside. XD

Not too much to say, I'd just read the dialogue mainly if you don't feel like going through everything else. That will at least keep you up to date on what's being said. I think we're all just sitting in front of the old cabin.

 

Also I'm seeing a lot of blackout moments in this RP. XD We haven't even gotten far yet, and we're flying apart at the seams.

I just did that so I could post something

However, I plan to do something with Eclipse's new magic if we come across a threat.

I can justify Aegis blacking out. He's had an hour of sleep at most.

I apologize for not posting. I seem to be back in full-swing. Life was just getting in the way, and preventing me from reaching a computer for any meaningful period of time. Sorry yet again.

I feel like I should clarify that Willow isn't awake. Sorry I didn't make that so clear in my post.. I asked Cinder if it was alright to post Willow blacking out since all Orion is thinking is revenge.

 

Also, am I the only one who thinks my characters are getting Sue-ish?

Sorry, I thought she had just fallen in the snow. Thank you for clarifying, but don`t blame yourself I probably should of read a little bit closer. I haven`t been paying too much attention to the others, though I have been trying to keep up with them, but I think your fine from what I see with Willow so far. You really have to consider with her group really not too terribly much has quite happened other than the hail storm, Scribbles getting injured, and the ground breaking apart. I tend to see her as the sheltered individual who unlike the others has not really been corrupted by the world. Continuing on I could see you really producing a rather interesting dichotomy between the corrupting influence of the Litany and her rather Naive perspective on life.

How is that a bitch? If Aegis went on, there's the risk of permanent damage.

Hey folks - something I just want to clear up with everyone. Won't take long.

 

So, you might have noticed that my posting has become more... sporadic... as of late. In truth, I'm finding it a struggle to get on as often due to a number of real life issues all building up.

 

I have been pretty sick recently (better now), but on too of that I've been having issues at home, stress at work thanks to the threat of redundancies and my workload is messing with my rather unusual sleeping patterns - I'm not usually awake when things get busy anymore and I'm too tired to concentrate of good posts during the day. As I've said before, I never expected the RP to get so popular either - it eats a lot more time than I expected and I just keep getting more and more invested in it.

 

Thing is, I'm not abandoning this.

 

I've seek folks gradually vanish from the site - whether roleplayers or not - and it's always disappointing to see good people fade into obscurity. I'm terrible for not finishing what I start and Walls is something of an exception. You're all great folks to know too.

 

So, if I'm slow to post or miss something over the next few weeks - bear with me. I have no intention of abandoning this and I'll be on when I can (probably about as much as I have been these last few weeks) but... yeah, just thought I should mention it to you all. The RP isn't dying, I'm not bored of it, I know where I'm going and you can still expect to see more Cibderscribe (whether you like it or not), but If I don't answer promptly, you know why.

 

Don't be afraid to nag me though - sometimes I need a jump start when I'm just being lazy or blind.

All good man, life throws things at you and things get tough. 

[Midnight Scribbler 1,705]

@,

 

I hear you man. I had an RP running, but the holidays threw it off, and I haven't bothered to pick it up again. You're doing a much better job than I could XD

I'm glad you're continuing with this RP, it's been a constant source of entertainment for me, and I'm sure everyone else here would agree. It's one awesome story.

[Umbreon 569]

Real life stuff has to come before RP, no worries Cinder! Can't speak for everyone, but I'll be lurking around until the end xD

[~Sole~ 852]

I've kinda had trouble keeping up with what's going on and I haven't posted in a while. Can I get a short recap of what happened to team brandy after they left the cabin? I'm so confused.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

It's allowed... the safety of such an action is another matter completely - but it's by all means allowed.

 

I'm not going to pull any unavoidable cheap shots, but death is very possible remember - and while Orion was conflicted, this thing has no problem with trivialities such as 'fair play', 'collateral damage' and 'sanctity of life'.

will ronin's sword work on this thing that's totally absolutely in no way related to sombra at all?

That's fully acknowledged. However, just know that the same goes for Crimson. He doesn't have anybody to tell him to hold back now, and neither does he have any reason to do so...this is gonna be interesting...

Uh... If he can find something to hit, maybe? It's effectively a pissed off, sentient force of nature. But worse.

I really wanted to post a picture of Gandalf's "Fly you fools!" scene. But the forums are being stubborn and not allowing me to post the picture.

 

@,@,  And @Icy Void

 

Wouldn't it be better to just run away from it. That seems to be Midnight's intention. I could be wrong but it seems like he's holding up the rear only in case it closes in on them too fast otherwise he's running away with the rest of the group. Or am I wrong and he plans on fighting it?

from what I read several of them ran back to face it. It does seem like they're about to fight it too. And ronin is trying to repay a debt he feels he owes them by helping them in any way he can, and he can't do that if they're dead.
