Now despite not having woken up before noon in over a week I've gotta be at work at 7am. I'm gonna try really really hard to get some sleep.

"I need a drink..."
It says something about the quality of this story that I've been fearing those 4 words since Cyna changed.
| Cyna Singer |
She didn't ask, she just said not to leave without having another job first. Which is the smarter plan but I know me and it was leave now and force myself to get a better job or get super pissed and walk out and have that hanging over me and still not have a job.
| Cyna Singer |
I've had a eureka moment.
This is what broke wayfinder. Updates went live on on june 23 which is when you guys first brought up that wayfinder was broken.
It's possible that updating yous phones OS will resolve the problem as other people seem able to post with wayfinder even today.
| Cyna Singer |
I think it's time to put this epic failure of mine out to pasture. I don't think it could have gone much worse. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how everything went so wrong and a harder time figuring out where to go from here.
| Sādhanā |
If you planned on her getting along with everyone, that's the only way Id see her as a failure, definitely an interesting concept, just the "Doesn't play well with others" was turned up to 11.
| Cyna Singer |
That's the part I don't understand.
Someone you know has a mental break and says or does something to hurt your feelings, you don't typically try and run them down with a truck and threaten them with obscene amounts of torture. But apparently I'm the one at fault for not playing nice?
Anyway I've been tearing myself apart trying to resolve this and it's not going well.
| Sādhanā |
Problem is that a major component of Sienna's stability is Cyna. Sienna's action was extreme but it's because Cyna's mental break pretty much triggered her own.
Now if everyone meets up in Valwick, which is likely, it would probably be handled a lot better. Especially if Cynafae connects with her mother by then.
As far as Sienna's concerned something took Cyna away and could really care less about giving her back.
The fact that the attack triggered an alignment shift tells you just how mentally affected Sienna is.
When addicts fall in love they sort of replace their addiction with the feelings that come from being with the one they love. Take that away and it gets pretty violent.
| Cynafae |
There in lies the second problem, I can't interact with the party or go to Valwick. At least not without incurring the wrath of a CR 30.
| Sādhanā |
That is kind of a problem. But that was because it would be harmful to Sienna. If it turns out that it isn't, especially if you get there first....besides, she may be CR 30 but she cant be everywhere at once.
| Sādhanā |
Even her sword's going....um you know you came of as kind of a dick right? Once she can get past the "angry at the whole damn world because I was locked up fo 78 years" (which is pretty valid but not helpful to anyone)she could easily see how maybe a less....callous approach with the people who just lost someone so she could exist, might be helpful.
| Cynafae |
She has pazuzu and an army of demons to do that for her.
Being told you're wrong and you should feel bad is a reoccurring theme for both Cyna and Fae it seems. And I'm not angry at the whole damn world(until the last post) nor am I seeking a pity party. But having someone who should be an ally in separating the two of us say "you're existence makes everyone miserable" was enough for me to respond childishly and walk/fly away. No threats no hostility and nothing anywhere along the lines of go f%#@ yourself, Cyna and Gwen too.
I've got no reason to be the better woman or plead and beg to be allowed to exist. Rant over.
| Sienna Teriton |
I didn't mean to bulldoze Fae into the bad guy category, but the whole crawl in a hole line came off as insensitive. There are ways to fix this, but I'm really not sure what will do it. If there was someone who knows about Cyna and Fae's plight, that would make a difference.
Actually, go see Michael.
Damned if I know how this game will end up.
| Cynafae |
Insensitive or not a hero doesn't nuke the body of her fiance, my thought was that something had to be wrong so I attempted to incapacitate her before she killed me. I was told both IC and out that this wasn't the case that I had it coming and was met with the ultra nuclear option of a demon lord. Now I've been told to f#*% off by hero and villain alike and chastised for being the b!~~* by my own sword.
I can't go to Valwick apparently, and if Sienna shows up she'll kill me or her mother will show up first and make me disappear for good. There's no place for Fae and I've deleted the character sheet, I seriously don't want to think about this anymore.
| Cyna Singer |
I hold some disbelief for what happened but if I had better flushed things out or handled things better I wouldn't be in this mess.
I'm ashamed for bringing this failure into the game to begin with. There's nothing to apologize for.
| GM Henry Fortuna |
Sienna has and probably always be broken in one way or another. The seeds of Nocyicula's plan have been around for a while. Fae's appearance seemed to be a good time to introduce them. Maybe it wasn't that the idea wasn't fleshed out well enough, but sort of bad timing. I have some ideas, if you're willing to give them a shot. But I understand if you just want to drop this.
| Cyna Singer |
I just can't see a way forward from here, and I don't want you to push yourself doing something you don't want to do.
So unless it's beneficial to the game as a whole and you feel good about it then I would prefer to let it go before I make this any worse than I already have.
| GM Henry Fortuna |
I think it will be.
TBH, I've been really stressed because I've been department manager for all of 3 days and I'm expected to work miracles. To top it all off, we're having a visit from a regional manager tomorrow and I know almost nothing. So, it's possible I've been venting, though I try not to.
Game is for game, discussion is for venting...
| Arista Milocathe |
*sigh....double sigh* Now I feel really really bad too. I'm sorry I reacted badly....and I didn't mean to make you feel bad. I was trying to work toward getting Sienna to accept that things would work out and not think about it. I shouldn't have been so quick to react the way I did...but she did come off sounding a little bratty and mean. I know it wasn't what you intended, but I still think it has good....depth to it and a place in the story, if you'll work on it with Henry I'm pretty sure we can make it work out.
I just don't want to make you feel bad Andrew and I don't want you to feel like you're being ganged up on either. We all know I tend to leap before I look and I can allow my emotions to get the better of me. But I never...never want to make a friend feel bad for trying something different.
I was unfair and I'm sorry. I just really really don't want you upset or frustrated or feel bad or anything like that. You're a good friend, and a good player and I love your characters....please don't give up on it.
| Arista Milocathe |
And I'm gonna have the kids by myself Friday and Monday cuz Miss Sandy decided she needs some time off. I haven't been there that long and Friday is water day which means I have to try and keep all the kids stuff together and just deal with everything....they're gonna be coming back to class all wet and muddy.....I just really hope it rains on Friday so they can't have water day....I know it sounds mean but I can't deal with it by myself. Not to mention circle time, arts and crafts and the loads of other s&@% I'm gonna have to deal with.
Then Monday I gotta make up all the milk for the kids who have to have it thickened....I just feel overwhelmed right now.
| Sādhanā |
You can do it. Just keep calm. It'll be ok.
@Andrew. I honestly feel like it's a great concept definitely worthy of exploring, that just got off to a shaky start. Honestly you may benefit from doing what Drago thought was the case, which is doing some behind the scenes planning with Henry to plot out a smoother transition/integration.
| Cyna Singer |
I'm sure that's at least half the problem, not being on the same page and poor planning on my part. We've... reworked some things and my fingers are crossed but I'm not optimistic that it can be salvaged in a way that will still be fun playing her.
| Arista Milocathe |
I'm trying to relax and not think about it....but unless I have some incredible luck with the weather and I get someone in the classroom that knows Sandy's schedule....I'm gonna be screwed and I will have the worst Friday and Monday ever.
I just need it to rain and I need to get this other Karen in the classroom to help me. She's worked there a long time and knows the kids, as well as all the little specific things and schedules and wot not like that. Right now my anxiety levels are just climbing through the roof. Even after taking a nice warm shower I still feel....super stressed.
| Drago Zakharov |
How about you send that rain over here to California? We could use it. Seriously, send it over here.
| Arista Milocathe |
Okay...send it this way, but I need it on Friday and none of that pansy light rain either. I don't sprinkles, I want a downpour. I don't even want there to be a chance of water day happening. I can deal with not having Karen in the classroom if I have to....but I can't deal with that and a water day.
| Arista Milocathe |
I called dibs! And this is super duper important. Did I mention I would have EIGHT children between the ages of 18 months and 2 1/2 years to deal with in this water, mud, and grass combo? EIGHT
| Drago Zakharov |
He said tons, I'm sure he can split it for the both of us.
