Darvan Korematsu Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Hukuna I'll throw into the mix that every one of us was a little more than consumed by Ymora primarily, and a couple more RPs as well and I checked just to make sure before validating this point. I'd tell you to consider moving along in this RP, because it's been a while since most of us have posted, but like you said, the others and their opinions matter too, hence we wait.

Sutoratosu Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 Okay... I need to ask this to consider and actually mount an effort if it's possible at this point. But, Not sure If I said but really a big part of me neglecting this RP is probably my Dad's two surgeries really weighing on my mind to the point I kinda forget this RP because I was just bogged in things that were out of my control and worried about stuff. So, needless to say due to the timing of these events... that really cut into me remembering this RP, or even wanting to post in in this RP. It's hard to write when you're worried your going to lose a family member, especially one that close. So, needless to say since my last post I've not been really paying attention and have kinda ended up neglecting this thing way to much. For that I apologize. However, not that life has calmed down for me I need to check if it's still an option to stick around rather than just drop ((I probably should have before when things were just preventing me from wanting to post, however I didn't have that foresight and think I a result really bogged down this RP in having to wait for me etc... However... as I can still try and am still consdiered a part of this... I think... I'd like too now that I can.)). I could use a quick recap on the events after I psoted, but I can definitely read them as well to catch up ((at the time of typing this I'm going to bed but... will probably read up in the morning.)) so that'd be helpful. I jsut need to know and understand if it's a viable option at all fro me to continue or if it's jsut wiegh you guys down horribly at this point. I'm okay either way you guys think it would be so no worries. However I would like to try and get back in ehre rather than jsut drop outta nowhere now that I ahve the time. SInce I ahve the time and my life is stable ((for now.)) I think I should at least try and right some of the msitakes I've been making. Seeing as how general activity here has been slow as hell and barely anyone has really posted that much since the fight ended aside from Hiss... Yeah, I don't really think anyone here would have much of a right to tell you to scram or drop, given that the majority of your fellow players are in the same boat more or less... both literally and metaphorically. Even if someone's activity is limited, whatever the circumstance, so long as they still want to at least try to participate and be in the story, and put up the effort to do so, I won't force them to quit or allow others to pressure them into quitting. Things can be arranged if necessary, afterall. I entered with low expectations on the activity front specifically so I wouldn't be too dissapointed or shocked whenever things got monstrously slow- something which honestly was a direct contribution to why past things I've tried to run ultimately failed. Hell, at this point, I've decided to just go ahead and let the short stories for this thing do the heavy lifting in terms of giving extensive detail and backstory for various aspects of the world... gives me something else that's still related to focus on while I wait and builds up a base of outside knowledge for better understanding various things that go on, and with them, I can work on their lore at any time. So yes, it's entirely an option to still stick around and try to be active and a part of the story... The effort and willingness to keep going itself is really what I care about more than anything else. That, and you're not alone in your situation because I know Chimchain as well has been heavily occupied with some outside circumstances and trying to... conduct matters with Ymora as of late. I've got no idea what the hell's been going on with the 2 unaccounted for players though... just kinda disappeared and have been silent ((Well, actually, that's a bull-faced lie; I have my own theories as to what they've been doing...)) The basic rundown of the in-story situation is this: Someone finally responded and hit the damn Volcanion and successfully managed to avert everyone a horrible horrible death... which certainly took long enough considering just about anyone in that group could've intervened... regardless though- the Hyper Beam was knocked off course and fired off over the city. Dobby and Chim pulled off a bit of team work and finished off the beast, and it died Shadow of the Colossus style and left behind quite a few pretty gems that I've already left some heavy hinting in the narration regarding what they are. The cops are currently on the way in the company of the awesomeness that is the retired war vet known as Surge, and the NPCs will likely take action about that either in the next update or the one after it, whenever that may be. Yuzuki is currently playing 20 questions with Mr.Shades Khan, the creepy-ass black guy who I've outlined in the NPC profiles while I've been waiting, Yuuki is currently examining the stones (At least, I presume he is... murdoc never actually responded to my last update for him.), And Nikki is currently trying to do a head count/rollcall/sound off to see if anyone got killed during the Chaos. Meanwhile, Some strange woman is dragging one heavily injured Mr.Tatsuya onboard from the docks by herself, despite being at the very least a full foot and a half shorter and him having a good 200 pounds on her, the oddity of which again was commented on by narration, and... whatever happened to the captain or the two other operatives he was fighting against remains to be seen. The Sirens and lights of the emergency services are close enough at this point for people to be able to notice them in the distance... and the Popo are packing their own very special brand of heat which I've been working on the concept of lately... :feelsgd: That's pretty much a laymen's record of events thus far.

Sutoratosu Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 So... seeing as how the current scene seems to be going absolutely nowhere thus far, except for Hiss's conversation, I figure I'm just going to... get us the hell out of dodge already and just move this thing along, cause honestly, it would just begin to get ridiculous if I keep stalling and holding out the VCPD's response time to such a local and close area more than I already have... Though, not exactly like the Vermillion Police Force holds a sterling track record anyway, but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I'm actually still struggling to find a way to just scoot in here. Since well stuff keeps happening lol. Hard to justify just slipping back in without it being a biiiiit garbage. I'm not sure if that's okay or not... so... yea trying to not do it.

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Yea, I think I'll just plan for that with the rest of tonight and just post tomorrow to make it as little awkward as possible.

Yeah, I know a thing or two about strange pushes... especially right about now... this was not exactly planned, mind you... I was hoping to not have to demonstrate how much the SWAT tactics have changed since the war... or, at least, I was hoping to reveal that in Anthologies first...

Darvan Korematsu Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Ergh. Can't really find a way to try and insert Felix back into the fray without making it an ass pull. Also I'm not 100% sure what exactly is going on right now other than the po-po closing in all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I'm not 100% sure what exactly is going on right now other than the po-po closing in all around. Aside from Niki being accosted by the SWAT's standard "Aggress and Suppress" tactic and Khan getting ready to head to the bridge and haul ass out of there, the only other thing else there is in this scene is left up to player choice more or less. I still have the captain, the mystery trainer, and the still conscious but paralyzed Mr.HellChicken though... and the two mons Khan deployed... anyway, I guess the only thing I can tell ya is the same thing me and Dobby suggested to Hukuna. There's likely no avoiding the akwardness of a time gap at this point, so it's best to just suck it up and YOLO it and accept whatever clunkiness occurs. You can make up for it later. Hell, even something as simple as just doing something like having Felix witness Nikki's situation and decide there's no way in hell he's following her example and that he's staying his ass on the ship would be enough, if that's what you chose to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yea, I was jsut like "Let's get it over with" and jsut made that post the best I could. I'm just going to stay on top of it now as much as I can to not fall behind again and stay relevant. ((which should be easy now since life calmed the hell down for me and I actually want to write a lot again lol.)) So, was that post a tad awkward? Probably, but I'm not going to let it get me down. After all, sometimes asspulls happen. Name a series were there wasn't at least one. I can't really since there's always something that won't work. There's a reason Dues ex Machina is a trope and a well known one. Because sometimes... you can;t avoid those situations. They kinda just happen at times. Nothing to be to ashamed of. It's only truly an issue if it happens every five seconds or it all a certain character ever does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Squad Felicity Posted November 9, 2015 Support Squad Share Posted November 9, 2015 Seemed fine to me, all things considered. I'm just not sure if Joanna is on the boat or naw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I thought I'd leave it up to Strat if she gets intercepted. She's headed there, and if he leaves it she definitely got there, but I thought I'd leave it open for that if he wanted to then totally solidify that she made it there.

Sutoratosu Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Given the time gap, and the fact that she made sure to walk a good distance out of the way to avoid it, and given that the docks are kinda filled with cargo and shit someone could easily duck behind and dash inbetween... I've more or less just decided to let the walk back be successful So yeah, Johanna's on the boat. She just managed to get by because she wasn't... you know, walking down the boarding ramp with her hands up and actively surrendering... she took a route a far enough distance away to not be easily noticed...and the SWAT were all paying attention to Nikki anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
