....And finally back after a horrid month of stresses, debacles and losses.

FCD: Belated congratulations, sir - may you and your wife's days be blessed. (^-^)

Lyn: Unless the Asha incident was just a quick aside before the festival narrative begins, I can arrange a 'post-sinking' encounter with her if you would like.

And to slightly echo Magic's questioning earlier....I don't know if Fei's brief discourse with High Seer Denulia would garner him an invitation to the Equinox festival or not. I do remember that it raised some eyebrows among her own entourage, though (after looking back at the relevant posts between them):

Just trying to figure out if I need to post or go on sabbatical until next year. ;)

If you do, we could hang out, since the other group seems pretty close knit.

If it's cool with Lyn, I was going to post a breakfast/morning scene for Ace and Ginni.

Totally fine with that. You were the one who wanted to get started asap. I'm totally eager to put off difficult narrative posting. :P

I would love for Asha to have a post sinking encounter. :)

I think Fei would be a welcome addition to the equinox festival group. A calm head will be needed when things get going. :)

Hey, Ed, what was the name of the previous Avatar? The one before Lang who was a firebird? It's about to be tangentially relevant in a cut scene and I don't want to get it wrong if I can help it. :)

Oh ya. I forgot there would be drama. Lim probably won't be too much of a help in much like that. He's not terribly stable before drama and stress happens. Part of why he got totally destroyed in the attack on the infirmary.

I kind of wish that Eleadora and Aidan were going to be around for more than just a few cut scenes wrapping up the firebird refugee arc. They are way too fun to write for. I modeled them after the Armstrong siblings from Full Metal Alchemist. :D

No relation, in case anyone was wondering.

;P

The whole running into Igni thing was an aside for him but a big deal for her. She has a lot of wrong ideas about him because he's the person her evil family had picked out for her.

I will see if I can throw up something awkward with the Energizer Monk in the....dammit, you already posted (;_;)

Roger that. Find a way to get an invite to him and he'll be there.

Well...I'll think of something else in the morning I guess (^-^)

Pfft. All he has to do is turn on the light. She would be much obliged actually since she has no idea where she is. :P

And most encounters with Asha end up awkward no matter what the original intent...

iirc, Ghalen and Tyrrin were going to the festival as well.
Been kinda off with that, as FCD isn't around to play Tyrrin any more.

Yep. Tyrrin and Ehos have to be there cause their mom is the leader of Laeren. Ghalen, Jaiye, Ace, and now Fei are going as guests. Lim-Mor is going because he's from Laeren and it's an important cultural festival.

I believe it might be an interesting arc for Sadie to literally force Djalos to go have fun. He is a Laerenite, although he has almost never actually interacted with his culture.

Sadie doesn't even know about the festival. But I am certain that she will definitely be spending some time forcing Djalos to have fun. She might drag him to Dave's party later on. That should be interesting. :P

(Timewise, the equinox festival and Dave's birthday party happen at the same time in-game.)

Okay, yeah, sure. That makes sense.

Icehawk is taking over playing Tyrrin after the festival. Sorry I haven't been doing more with her during the transition. I got a lot of characters handed to me with several stories to wrap up all at the same time, and I haven't done all of them justice.

It's ok. I just assumed they met for meals and for sleeping when time permitted. He doesn't try to occupy her time, just be around when needed.

Well, that sounds about right. :)

Can the arrows find someone with just a description? Does the school read intent?

If so that's pretty awesome and useful.

I saw her? I'm reasonably sure you can search for a mental picture of a person
if I need a name I am reasonably sure I could make the know(nobility) roll

To me it makes more sense to be able to find a face.

Visage is a physical thing you can remember. It actually shows who you are and what you're like. A name is an arbitrary group of sounds your parents put together for you to respond to.

To paraphrase Shakespeare​: "What's in a name? Does a rose by any other name smell just as sweet?"

[Sniff]

Well, now that this has gotten all philosophical... :P

Yes, the school can do both. It can find someone based on a name, but it can also find someone based on a mental picture. This has been established before I believe. Basically, as long as you know who you're looking for, and they're still inside the school building, the arrows can lead you to them.

Yea Lucas, wasn't trying to say you were wrong. I was asking for personal clarification. I think I've always played it as needing to have a name, but it's a lot more useful this way.

And, with apologies, that's all the posting time I have for tonight. (^-^)

Super glad I finally figured out a hobby for Jasper.

I'll respond tomorrow morning. Too late at night to trust myself with something like intelligent speech.

I think Fei needs to swap his aura of courage to a general aura of good feels, which is always active, unless suppressed.

He's kinda like Captain America or Superman in that when he shows up, you generally know things are going to alright, no matter how bad or dark things might be.

You also know that should he have, much like the above, he will kick all the ass.

He tries, at least. (^-^)

Thanks for the well wishes folks (and a fist bump for Kryz). As far as the Equinox is concerned Tyrrin and Fei have a... working relationship of sorts that could have earned him an invite.

Aye, yea, CONGRATS FCD!!, it takes a special woman to love an old, bald, wrinkly, scared guy(Your avatar :p lol) :)

Hey Lyn, I know you said you were allowing a lot of the occult classes, but what about Spiritualist? That seems different enough to not overlap/clash with DSP psionics.

Also, are you feelin well enough to re-open recruitment for a bit? I ask cuz I feel like we could really use some fresh blood, sooner rather than later :)

We are down a lot of people...

happens sometimes
but yeah, seems like

Does Phaedra eat in the elementary cafeteria, and is that where she and lang are now?

Does Phaedra eat in the elementary cafeteria, and is that where she and lang are now?

Yes to both

Okay, thanks.

MG, I went through that book very thoroughly. The OA ban stands as is to avoid confusion within the game. If there is a feat of class feature you want, then send me a PM, and we can work something out, probably, even if we have to rename stuff.

Re: recruitment: Don't ask me again until after the equinox arc is over. I am one person. One sleep-deprived, chronically ill person. (I'm a bit cranky as the whole family has spent this spring break week sick with the flu and I am So. Tired. of. Coughing.) I can only do so much.

(No, we are not there yet, and asking every five minutes does not make the car move any faster! Here's a juice box, now be quiet! </mom rant>) ;P

I am amused that Andromeda ships Dave/Tybalt
Davbalt?
Tyave?

(he probably would have flirted with both of the people in his room last night, but she can ship as much as she wants, it's funny!)

Pretty sure at least some of that is Lyn doing it through her. :P

Which reminds me, it's your go for Dave and Arthur a couple pages back unless I've missed something. I know your computer's been weird, but I wanna make sure you knew.

Well, they're just so danged cute together! <3 :P

In all seriousness, in An's case it's kind of self-defense more than anything. She is terrified of anything resembling romance, so in order to feel safer she tends to try and find matches for the people she hangs out with. So shipping Dave and Tybalt (Dabalt, nuff said) makes her feel safer and more comfortable hanging around them. It's only a matter of time before she starts trying to find someone for Jasper. :)

that adds a slightly depressing layer to what was previously hilarious.....

That's me! Bringing everything down....they call me the party pooper. ;)

[singing]Every party has a pooper
that's why we invited you
Party Pooooper...[/singing]

LF, are you ready to take over playing Vai now? It seems like a good transition time. No super duper emotional scenes that we're in the middle of. And mostly you get to start out with waiting. Cause who doesn't love that? ;P

oh shoot I almost forgot I was gonna doing that. Right away yeah give me a sec to make an alias

Yup, Djalos is really f##!ed up.

Vai have a middle name?

Vai have a middle name?

Elspeth

Yup, Djalos is really f*%$ed up.

Well, that's true of most of the student body....but he's definitely in the right group for that particular brand of messed up. :)

thank you
