There, posted in one collab (so many distractions the past week). I think either Nessa or Jack could post next there, depending on who manages to do so first? (And again, if I got something wrong, just let me know.)

Random: Jack, any ideas what to make as icon (in the given context the little picture in front of site name in browser tabs, such as Youtube's red play button, RPG's weird pale green R, or Google's g in a blue rounded square) for the Compendium? Just noticed that unlike Chrome (which I seldom use) likes to squish its tabs when many are opened instead of making a sideways-scrollable list, and at some point only the icons are visible...
Any other design-related ideas also welcome; it is probably still a bit too plain-HTML.

Posted with I'on. Sorry that it was so short, but he just didn't have much to do/say ^^;

I suppose it'd be Jack's turn with the Guards then.

@Jack: I sent you a PM that we can use to create a collab. If you want to control the NPC then go ahead. I don't quite know where I'm going right now, but I want to lead this into a small quest of sorts.

@Veridis QuoUhh... Mind creating the convo again with me in it, too? I am presently the person who does the archiving for the Prophecy, which is a bit compromised when I can't see what is going on.

(Would probably also think on where your character would meet ours once the time comes - which probably means restricting any potential quests to Zerul City -, but that's more for Jack and you to figure out, unless I bring one of my planned things briefly up as a teaser of sorts (which I'd have to negotiate with him in turn).)

Who is next on the Zerul side? Yoshua, Rhaevnn (should Morgan begin to wake up), Mercinus?
Else it is @Ashgan with Jillian (it has been over three weeks, and according to my own arbitrary rules, I am allowed to start poking people once it's been over two weeks), ASTA with Claw in one collab and Jack in the other (I sort of could post for the lack of much else to write, but that might both leave Jaelnec a bit behind and be a bit repetitive in terms of theme).

@Ink Blood: Any progress on your character? Would he still be sticking with Jillian/Gerald?

I see... So Kaedan just stood up and left the tavern, eh? Interesting. Not making it easy for me, but then again that's not what you're supposed to do, either; you're just supposed to be true to your character and stay within the boundaries of the RP.
This does put me in a strained situation, though. Once everything was said and done, and while Kaedan made an initial impression purely due to his equipment and size, he did not interact with anyone but the tavern keeper, and even that interaction was minimal. He hasn't remarked himself and has only really indicated that he was just another guy crashing there to get a warm place to sleep cheaply and as such has given the NPCs in the tavern no reason to approach him. So leaving that area, Kaedan has left behind all the people there, and all potential encounters I had prepared.
Now I need to figure out what could feasibly be encountered in this new location at this time, which is a lot trickier than arranging something in a relatively isolated environment such as a tavern; I need to figure out something interesting that could feasibly happen, yet without potentially creating paradoxical circumstances compared to events still taking place with the other two groups previous day. Preferably without "spawning in" someone new into the world, effectively changing the course of history...
Oh, and as Shien mentioned I'll have to keep in mind not to occupy your character for longer than the time when he should encounter the other player characters, or incidentally remove him too far from the location of that same meeting...
Eh, I'll get back to you on that one. I need to give that some thought.

And yeah, Shien, I know I'm next in the borderhouse collab, but thanks for the reminder anyways. It's just been a kind of busy week, and on top of everything I've caught a cold. I hate being ill... Clearing my airways and generally mitigating the discomfort of illness is pretty much the only situation that justifies imbibing alcohol for me, and even then I don't drink enough to actually get drunk. Well, that and New Year's Eve, and even the latter I don't get drunk at. Never understood people's fascination with drinking... seems like a stupid way to waste money to me.
Eh, but I digress, probably because I'm not at 100% capacity and all that... yeah. I'll get to posting as soon as circumstances allow it.

@Jack: Take as much time as you need. I got exams coming up.

@Shien: It's all in the rough works right now. I can send you a copy once me and Jack have something.

@Veridis Quo:
You don't need to have the entire thing before I can do something with it? You can add multiple people to a PM conversation; I'll just be a silent presence and archive things when there is something for me to archive. Compiling and sending the thing to me afterwards would only be more work for you, and possibly for me, too. (I have mostly automatized my side - the posts being not in their original form would mean that I'd have to manually clean them up as I used to before I made a script to do it for me.)
Besides, the archiving is also intended as a measure against the site frying or being down - which is a role that can only be fulfilled when I can at least save the HTML of the page on my own devices (I don't always put the posts up into the Compendium right away).

@Dark Jack (I wonder whether it still pings when you edit a mention in afterwards? Let's test it.):
Mainly just record-keeping, as usual (who posts next on the Zerul side being perhaps the most important question, since otherwise it may happen that all people expect others to post first, due to lack of clear next poster), so no worries. Perhaps slightly bored for no good reason - I actually have plenty of things I should be doing, and I'm trying to see whether I can get a random pseudo-nightmare-inspired idea of mine through in another RP.

I barely ever drink myself - mostly only during Christmas, New Year's and some birthdays, and then it is only a glass or two (said glass, half-full, may or may not be used to justify not needing another drink for several hours).
(Drinking won't actually help against a cold or most other illnesses at all, the general placebo effect left aside - not in quantities that won't have you die of alcohol poisoning long before with bacterial diseases, and viruses are impervious anyway. There is very little you can you can do with a cold, actually - it is furthermore mostly just your immune system freaking out over something largely harmless ... just be annoyed at it and tough it out.)
There are a few alcoholic drinks which I kind of like the taste of, but those are not the most common types, so I don't really have the incentive to drink anything. Certainly not for getting drunk - I haven't ever been properly drunk, but it appears that alcohol (even in not at all large quantities) seems to work absolutely backwards on me compared to how it is "supposed" to work. I simply stop caring about interacting with people altogether, or being motivated for doing anything else, for the matter. I don't even get tired or sleepy - I'll be just as awake and alert as ever - I'll just retreat to my own corner and stop minding everything else until someone specifically opts to annoy me, and even then I'll most likely be fairly laconic (and possibly give off the impression that I'm only replying out of politeness, and actually want the person gone).

Ehh... But get well soon; is all I can say about it (well-wishes got to amount to sometning, no?).

To be honest, I have no idea on who's next. I would say Yoshua again as I think the guards are addressing Yoshua. I could be wrong though.

...Jack? Why are there random people that at least I've never seen before marked as Co-GMs for the thread? Since you've not been online since yesterday, and they only appeared randomly today, I assume it must be some manner of site glitch. Might want to remove them, though, just in case.

Edit: Well, and now they're gone again...
Edit2: And various Co-GMs keep coming and going... Going to screenshot some of them and try to see whether there is a reasonable explanation to whatever is going on here.
Edit3: Appears to be calmed down now. Haven't seen any for over half an hour now.

I'm going to wait another post just so I have a little more than "I'm awake!"

Sorry for the absence, everyone, but I'm having real trouble finding the motivation to write for this RP. This is a wonderful RP with a great group of players and a fantastic world built by Jack, but as I said I am having trouble finding the motivation to write for it, so I regret to say I will be departing it. I apologize for an inconveniences I may have caused.

@Ink Blood: That is regrettable to hear. Since you do not currently have a character that is actively participating in the plot, I don't think your departure at the present moment in time is much of an issue as far as the in-character happenings are concerned (I figure Salas would be going his own way, rather than sticking with Gerald and Jillian?), so at least there's that. Farewell, wherever your path may take you (a bit strange thing to wish by me, perhaps, given that we're in another RP together).

@yoshua171: Looks like the floor is all yours on the Zerul side.

There, posted in the collab.

I believe there may perhaps be something @cthulu might wish to post, and then there might finally be time for time-skip?
Else it is Ashgan with Jillian,
Yoshua in Zerul,
Jack with something for Kaedan,
and ASTA in the other collab.

I'll get to posting when I can. I'm out of town for the next 3 months, and I do have internet here, but it can be a bit iffy at times. I doubt my next post will be long though, considering it will likely just consist of I'on evaluating the situation, then beckoning his new...associates, and the guards, to get on over to the inn so he can go home and sleep xD

So yeah, that.

I've now posted as well (with the inclusion of a new Character Title that I've made for Ixion). Apologies for it being short.

Nice post Merc. Seems like things are going to get interesting. Hard to say where this ragtag group united, at first, by a common enemy will end up. I guess it's a question of whether or not the disappearance of their common enemy will turn them against one another. Should be fun to explore :P

Who's going next?

Well, the Companions are going to show up ... sooner or later.

I think the next one to go is either Jack or Rhaevnn, depending on whether Rhae's going to let Morgan wake up now or a bit later still (logically, he should be waking up any moment now, or things would start to get mildly concerning for a human).

I'll be having him wake up after Jack's next post (which I assume will be giving some sort of detail of the inn), mainly because I would like to have a little more detail to post about other than "I'm awake and I'm being carried." :3
