I will be out of town without internet access from Saturday 2/29 until Friday 3/6. It may take me until the following Monday to catch up on everything.
GM, please bot me as necessary.
Heads-up: it's starting to become crunch time at school, so my posting rate may be erratic. I'll try to get posts in when I can, but it's getting to be that time of year when schoolwork is going to take precedence.
Figured that was the case, you are a very busy kitty! :3
We'll be here when you're done!
The hotel's going to be NUTS for the next two weeks, specifically the WEEKENDS TO REMEMBER!!!
It's a retreat set up by a bunch of churches across the country to send couples for a weekend of marriage-counseling and stuff at our hotel. Apparently they liked us so much LAST year that this year they're doing it TWICE!
How's everyone handling things right now? I'm apparently considered an essential infrastructure worker.
I work from home, so that hasn’t changed, but my roomie and my wife are both sick and I’m starting to develop a cough.
I was laid off.
Been doing what I can at home and managing.
I'm sorry, Tuco. :(

Joie was, much like Faithe, distracted by reminiscing about the Tale of the Seventh Final Fantasy, recently retold by a bard who was much better at painting the scenery and added his own story flourishes here and there, and forgot to protect her face.
Lol! I like that!
The game was freaking amazing and I love that they have given themselves a way to change parts of the story to keep people from knowing for certain what is going to happen in later parts of the story without screwing up the existing plot. I won't go into more detail than that about what they did though I will say that I thought it was just strange at first until I realized the genius of what they did.
I just want to know (like a Yes/No) if best boy Reeve actually has some character in this version or if he's relegated to just being... uh... what he is.
Yes, he has a lot more time in this one, even if only in cut scenes, and they have expanded on his motivations a fair bit. He seems much more human in this one and the why of what he will likely till do is much better supported thus far.
Mind you we only just get out of Midgar at the end of this part. Part two will likely pick up around the same point and I imagine go through a certain significant and tragic event if not further still. I get a sneaking suspicion that we will make it up just to or through the initial events at the crater in part 2.
I also enjoy that they expand on the previous war with Wutai and make it have more significance to the overall plot as well as made AVALANCHE a bigger thing than it originally was.
I'm only just at the point where I get to play darts :D
Anyway: Tuco, did you play Dirge of Cerberus, by any chance? It expanded Reeve a lot. I'm imagining they're going to apply some of that better characterization retroactively (but I have yet to see him, so).
I have not I heard it was pretty terrible so I didn't bother.
Thanks for the answers though!
When any of you playing it finish we'll have to talk over what your thoughts are on the way the last bit of it was.
I will be waiting until it comes out on PC, I do not own a PS4 sadly which is really upsetting me now as the new Guilty Gear Beta is active.
I loved Dirge of Cerberus, but I was an edgy 14-year-old when it came out, so, y'know.
Once again, sorry for the delay in posting. I'm working on my final pieces of schoolwork--one assignment and two online exams. I'll try to post once all of that is sorted out.
We understand. You are a busy kitty! :3

*grabs torch and pitchfork*
We understand. You are a busy kitty! :3
*...slowly puts torch and pitchfork back*
By the way, Tuco, Dragoncat confirmed you have CLW potions you can offer.
I thought we distributed those already.
Either that or I'm getting my medic characters all mixed up.
Yay, darkvision! :3
Sorry for the delay in posting. Expect an update from me in the morning!
No apology necessary! You're busy, remember? :P
Everyone staying safe? Being close to the epicenter of what's been going on recently is really sobering.
So far so good, here. I'm in a fairly rural area, so not so much unrest going on.
I'm doing alright. Just wrestling with writer's block right now.
Can't say I know how it is, but I hope you're all staying safe.
I typo’d that last one (+19 instead of +10) but it probably wouldn’t have made a difference :P
Yeah, the 18 + 10 would've been enough to make a pin.
........did any of us remember to get manacles?
........did any of us remember to get manacles?
I'm gonna take the weeklong silence as a "no."
I just figured everyone would snicker if I said yes...

I just KNEW Joie would react like that! :D
I saw an opportunity and I took it!
Am I forgetting an important detail or something? That question threw me for a curve.
Also, I was kind of expecting a reaction from Dorak...
Sorry for the delay in posting. I'll get a post up in a few.
Because I as a player can't quite remember, what questions are we looking to ask of the ghoul?
Not to put too fine a point on it, but “have you been murdering scribes?” and “why have you been murdering scribes?” is, I think, the gist.
Finally got my copy of Lost Omens: Legends and I gotta say I'm intrigued by the depiction of Dongun Hold and its (female!) High King! There's a bit of a South East Asian aesthetic that further contributes to 2e's MUCH needed shakeup of dwarven monoculture! However...I'm not sure how best to depict that with Daerokh without, you know, doing a cultural appropriation?
Sorry for the delay in posting. Been beaten down by the summer heat and humidity.
Will post in the morning.
It has been Bullshit Degrees outside for the past two or three weeks and I completely understand!

I know THAT feeling.
Expect a post to move things along in the morning!
Sorry I've been taking so long to post, folks. Been dealing with a minor case of burnout and am currently getting my batteries recharged.
I will try to get up a post to move us along by noon tomorrow.
Be careful and be safe.
Sorry I’ve been so quiet, folks! Wife threw her back out so my daily workload has doubled, and so I’m having a hard time getting into the Joie headspace. I don’t plan on dropping out or anything—but Joie’s gonna take a little longer to make it down that hallway. :P
As I said, I thought she was in the room already...
So do we tell him about the bloodstone or not? That's why Daerokh gave that "what do we say" look. He's honest and unsubtle, unlike the much more cunning Faithe and Joie.
