DP comes to the rescue yet again with a wall of text!

Indeed you have. I need a 'content chuckle' emoji. Anyway...

I certainly cannot lose my biggest supporter and probably one of the biggest backbones to the RP next to myself and NK. Though, NK did give me a scare when this started up. 

Now, my post... I want to say it was probably just made because I was feeling a little sorry for myself. And I forgot that I'm not really alone in this and that DP is helping me set the pace to keep things moving. And I can agree that motivation is always our downfall in any RP on this site. People tend to lose interest so quickly. They join an RP and then within a week of actually being in the IC, decide to move on for whatever reason. I've even seen GMs do this, which pisses me off to no end but I can't do anything because I've done that too. But... Like I said, I will never abandon Athalia. I have had too many good memories and I've built up too much to let it drift away because people lose interest/motivation.

My puppy just walked by with a nasty looking bag in her mouth... -sigh-

And to DP's reaction to the 'reset,' That's exactly why I did the timeskip, for those of you that are wondering. Because otherwise I may have had to do a complete reset of the RP. I mean, 5 years is a bit much, but it allowed us to reach a point in which something other than pointless shenanigans happened. All the RPers needed to do was decide how that time affected their character. With age did they mature at all? Did they grow more powerful? Did they learn something about themselves? 5 years is a long time and plenty of time for someone to discover something about themselves that they didn't realize before.

Now, if we can get to the battle/war with Marcus, I actually have interesting plot bunnies to spring on everyone and it will probably affect all of the characters. I've explained them on the pad before, so some know it. And I'll gladly explain it again on the pad if someone wants to know and the pad allows me to... Still haven't tested that today.

Today, I will be writing my Response Paper, reading my textbook, and hopefully making a post for Maria. Let me get this straight, Ziv, Artav, Ryuu, and Al are all in their own 'houses', with the exception of Al who has visited Ziv. Which, btw, guys.... Our characters aren't supposed to have houses in Oasari. They're just making camp there for a few years to collect themselves. I mean, the building was just built but that doesn't mean the towns people allowed our characters to build/buy houses of their own. It also kills the idea of 'character comradere' I.E., Characters feeling close to one another. If they live in the same area, then they tend to grow closer together. It's why Carmen and Lily live in an apartment complex which is where everyone else was supposed to live as well but I don't think anyone set up shop there other than me and DP in proxy. So... :| I guess if you can give me a good reason why they'd have they're own house, but for the most part they should all live in an apartment with a roommate set up sort of thing, especially the new characters.

Ye.
