Or get back to it as soon as we can

[Cultural Titan]

sorry these two days have been busier than expected

[Absolis]

Im all right with it, just so long as the RP doesn't die out completely.

[Cello]

Hope everyone had a fun holiday season.

I'm still quite busy because we're undergoing house renovations but I'll be as active as I can.

[IcePezz]

I'm here :)

*Pokes self in eye*

Oww...

Yep, still alive.

[Cubix]

I think I'm still alive...

or am I???

*cue mystery music*

[Frengo]

Who/what are we waiting for exactly? I'm sure this can carry on without Titan's guidance for a little while. I mean he's obviously busy being a cultural titan, mercilessly absorbing sub-cultures into his giant hive mind.

We could just dribble the ball a little? Ya know, snake it in and out of a few traffic cones. What matters most is that we keep the blood pumping, lest we grow tired or bored with the story and lose interest.

[Cello]

I think the main thing that needs to happen now is the uniting of all the Light side characters to discuss the conflict. The Crown isn't going to know about what took place with the bandits and the Dark Side until the remaining rangers and company report it directly themselves.

I may even have Mercury appear along their journey.

The royal family meanwhile... I got nothing. We kind of ostracized ourselves from everyone else and the central conflict. Perhaps a brief post from the others describing their intention to go to the castle, followed by a Time Skip will be necessary?

As for the Dark Side, I think we should really begin working on an agenda for how the conquest is going to go about. I've been busy and admittedly not put much thought into it, so I'd like some ideas to bounce around.

[IcePezz]

I can try and come up with something in response to @Frengo's post, instructing intent to go to the castle if you'd like @Leslie Hall

Or if no one would mind a slight time jump, I can post that we're already at the keep?

We left them as they were exiting the battlefield and heading back to the Keep. I think. And I think@Absolis wanted to do something for Kalar. So we can work on that while you're all sorting yourselves out?

[Frengo]

Allow me to mercilessly bombard you all with my thoughts :D

We need to consolidate and progress.

Or in other terms,

We must gather our party before venturing forth.

And by that I mean, we need to know exactly who is readily available and then we can build on that. If we're missing most of the royal family permanently, mayhap we need to slip in some kind of reason why - perhaps an assassination attempt, that either succeded or forced the King/Queen to send their offspring away somewhere safe.

That then leaves the surviving/remaining royal family free to interact.

So then we fast forward the plot, Gormagh has been sent to bring news of recent events - perhaps by now, Galuntrung Keep is actively fighting against a fully fledged invasion of black hearted scoundrels - and he + the King/Queen debate the next course. I've also a lieutenant of Galuntrung already written up, perhaps he could be there instead, leaving Liara to handle the keep's operations. In any event, word reaches the crown of the troubles, the crown formulates a response, and we're away again.

Meanwhile Liara can be busying herself with the defense of Galuntrung and/or raiding enemy positions. I could throw Gormagh her way to provide her some interaction.

Then hopefully the two ends will eventually tie in quite nicely, preferably with the arrival of a whole army of the King's men.

After that, who knows?

This is all just my two pennies by the way, I'm not trying to hijack anything.

EDIT: Any remaining dark characters can be involving themselves in the kingdom's torment, either harassing Galuntrung keep/attacking it or busying themselves with murder elsewhere. All good characters outside of the whole war scene could be doing their own thing, too. I've not really got much in mind as far as they're concerned, but as they're free from any chains, the possibilities are more or less endless.
