All sounds good! Feel free to get us started on the fight!

Got half a post done, hoping to have the rest worked out by later tonight xD

Update: soooo my brain has decided it is mush, and I want to do the start of their final confrontation proper justice so post may be postponed till tomorrow XD

hey, no worries there! Mine is kinda there xD

Soooo Ari kind of ran away with this post and decided she was gonna do her own thing.... (protip: not the best lady to be fighting over a man with, Illesia hahaha) *reels her back in* down, girl XD feel free to have Illesia do with that what she will and take the fight in either direction xD

Alsooo mood music? O_O (which is aptly titled, as well! =P)

And I can't believe we're nearly at the end of Act II! *fangirly noises*

She and Chwuq are quite a team! I mean, I knew that before, but seeing them fight together like this is cool :)

Mood music indeed! I'll listen as I write my reply for sure(which should come today!). Speaking of the reply, should I just have Yerbol kill Illesia in the next post? Or would you like to do the honors?

I know...it's strange, isn't it? To think that we've written two acts and we've traversed, what, eight months in the universe? That's not a long time and SO much has happened. I think that the end of Act II would be a perfect time to give these two a chance to do some fun things like they did at the end of Act I. Speaking of which...

When do you want to end Act II? I know that we want to eventually get these two married off, but do you want to do that in between Acts Two and Three? Or do you want that to be at the end of Act II? I don't want it to be rushed, so I feel like we would have to do some kind of time skip after all this mess with Illesia. I've got a loose skeleton of events in my head that I'll list for you to add/subtract/modify from:

Act II:
-Illesia is defeated and any remaining Xiis are either taken down or unaccounted for and assumed dead
-Yerbol and Aria head back to Zinuthra to decompress/teach an occasional lesson while they heal up(Maybe a month?)
-During their recovery period on Zinuthra, more Force users trickle in every day, leading the Council to anoint more Knights. I would assume that after seeing how easily threats can emerge from any point in the galaxy, they would want Knights to fight them off.
-At the end of the month, the Council and the Alliance formalizes a treaty between the two. This treaty spells out, in basic terms, that the Qyaari are to act as an independent body recognized as such by the Alliance. In return for the autonomy, the Qyaari agree to supplement Alliance forces with Knights on operations and missions that pose a threat to the galaxy as a whole. These operations will have to be signed off on by both the Council and Chancellor Saresh. I think it would also make sense to start converting the settlements into Qyaari outposts, which would act almost like an embassy for any Force user who would need guidance.
-This ceremony would take place on Coruscant, seeing as Dromund Kaas seems like it would need some more time to recover after the Xiis attacked(we'll need to go back there more often and develop the world). Half of the Council would attend along with Ari and Yerbol(the others I assume would stay behind to assist at the Academy).
-It would be then that Yerbol would want to discover what Neta left them on the planet(which I think you'll like)
-From there...well, I don't know, honestly. What do you think?

Ari and I are certainly happy to give Bol the honours this time around, since he kinda deserves it (and she already got the satisfaction being the majority force in finishing off Bracknell, seems only fair Bol gets the second "boss" XD), so go for it! :D

Here, here to the relaxing and doing fun stuff for sure! I'm super excited to find out exactly what Neta has left for them too *flaps hands excitedly*
This all sounds good in terms of ending Act II as well, I'd guess it makes sense to have them married off in between II and III? o.o In terms of moving forward there's still Soto as an unknown variable I guess (don't think we touched on what happened to her in super-detail after they stopped watching her at the end of Act I/start of Act II? correct me if I'm wrong haha) so she could potentially be a driving force behind a new problem for Act III? Not entirely sure how just yet but I guess we can discuss that in more detail a little later :P

-I guess they could just go, as Bol once put it, "normal couple things" for a while (request for a possible visit to our dear redheaded pilot mom because I miss her? XD with the excuse that they'd want to thank her personally for said gift she left, and also because she did hint that they should come and visit at one point)
-I'd assume they'd spend time sightseeing or some such which could eventually lead into the idea of them being married off
-After they seem to have had enough "relaxing time" perhaps the Elders could bring to their attention that Soto has gone 'AWOL' as such and they're worried she's up to something, which could lead to them seeking her out to find that out?

and I guess we'd need to talk more about Soto to decide what (if anything) is gonna happen there? XD

Yeah, Soto is most certainly a character we need to bring back. We can flesh out her role later like you said :)

-YES. That should totally be what they do after they do their thing on Coruscant. By the way, feel free to skip to the ceremony if you wish. You can get us there and I can finish if you'd like or the other way around. I've had some potentially fun scenes involving her that I've wanted to write.

-Sightseeing? Those two with fanny packs and visors? I would pay money to see that. Maybe they can do some of that after they see Neta? Spend a couple of weeks on the road before Yerbol decides to pop the question.

-Would you want them to be engaged when Soto reappears or married? Because if it's the latter, then we might have to leave more a time gap in between the end of Act II and the beginning of Act III where Soto returns. Cause, you know, we have to write the wedding/reception/honeymoon vacation scenes. Those are going to be priceless.

what do you think?

-Excellent! I shall work on that then haha

-Well, I wasn't imagining the fanny packs originally when I thought of it, but that put a HILARIOUS image in my head now that you've said that, my goodness XD I may or may not feel a doodle coming on for that haha

-Might be nice to leave them a bit of a longer gap and at least let them get married first, or that'd be a bit not cool for them to be planning their wedding and then have "BAM WE NEED YOU TO SAVE THE GALAXY AGAIN". Ari certainly would NOT be amused haha XD

But we could play it by ear I guess and see how it goes? c:

All sounds great!

Man I'm looking forward to this stretch of writing. Time to relax xD

Running round like a headless chicken, so not sure if I will have this next one done in time before we're off for the weekend.

If not, have a good one and it'll be up waiting for you on Monday! XD

Hopefully that works as a set up haha, as always if you need me to add or take anything away, let me know XD

Edit: Also loving the additions to the wiki, I will be prancing off to add to it this week, got some stuff in the works to make it abit prettier hehe xD

Perfect! Will get us to Neta's surprise then :)

Also, after the two of them talk about how awesome her surprise is, I suppose we should have them go see her? And after that visit....well, we mentioned them doing some sightseeing? Maybe Neta or Ari can suggest a couple of vacation spots and the duo can go there for some a couple of weeks?

During that time would probably be the easiest way for Yerbol to realize "Wow, I can't live without this woman" and propose to her at the end of their trip? How's that sound?

Also also, forgive the inactivivty yesterday, but I barely got a chance to sit down let alone type anything xD

That sounds like a fab plan! Let's do it! And I'm sure Neta/Ari could suggest some sightseeing places, I mean for example if they're gonna be on Alderman visiting Neta there's the palace as a start etc

And no worries, I totally get it! Laptop has also pulled the "nope blue screen of death" truck again so once again restricted to phone typing till its sorted *siiighhh*
Honestly wondering if I shouldn't just replace the stupid thing, probably bloody cheaper xD

Oh no! Sorry to hear about the laptop :/

Newegg.com has some pretty sweet deals on laptops, so maybe try there?

Also, sorry for leaving off so...abruptly, but I had to for work reasons. Let me know if you want me to adjust anything and I'll be more than happy to do so :)

I swear the machine hates me or something haha xD or there's a mechanical fault of some kind, either way four times broken in under a year does not bode well in its favour o.o xD I shall certainly have a look!

And no worries, looks all good to me! (Neta, you do spoil our two darlings far too much, you know that right? XD) I shall get them to the signing ceremony then, and we can go from there? C:

Also Matt...whatever you and the Elders are 'planning' sounds positively conspiratorial xDD

Hopefully I haven't made the ceremony overly-formal haha I figured it'd be somewhat formal though since its such a big and important thing XD

As always feel free to add or change anything to it as you feel necessary c:

I resurface to tell you that life has been...difficult as of late. Will post tomorrow for sure though!

Not to worry as always! :') keep soldiering on and all that ;)

On the off chance that you might get through somehow...on my end the server errors say NOT TODAY

so...I shall catch you next week, servers permitting xDD
