@Life in Stasis I understand, likely more convenient that way. Frees me up from worrying about what I'm going to post for now too. It looks like I'll definitely be waiting another two weeks at least for the new laptop. Thank you for being understanding, and I'll be back asap!

Luckily it doesn't seem remotely out of character for Aust to quietly disappear for a few days for inscrutable reasons.

My thoughts exactly.

Man, I could use a stiff drink...

Hey @ThatCharacter, gonna have to ask you to change some information in your post. It conflicts with some story elements earlier in the story.

The past few days had taken a lot out of Tobias Ilingard. His normally bright eyes were dull, having been watching over his small flock of concerned villagers who had managed to escape the hordes of insects...

There weren't any arachnid monsters anywhere else. Elven raiders and elven raiders alone drove Viceni villagers out of their homes. Additionally, the only refugees in Udny Pass are from Muon Pond earlier in the RP. Notably, by our player characters (and a flock of NPCs).

When the country was collapsing, no one knew what was going on, let alone had any chance to escape. Imagine America collapsing and you live in Tennessee. It's not as simple as hopping over to Canada. It happened much too quickly. Only the scattered villages on the desert border had any chance, and the only one close to Udny Pass was Muon Pond.

No one knew when the creatures would arrive...

Just to reiterate, no one except the player characters have seen the creatures.

He had no ill feelings to the ancient creatures.

A minor note that elves only live to about 300-500 years or so, I think. I guess that's pretty ancient, but most of them you'll see are between like 30 and 150.

And another reminder that it was elves that raided the border villages, including Muon Pond (where I assume Tobias is from).

It's tough to get your bearings when joining an RP in progress, but you'll find your stride. Shouldn't be too hard to make these changes while keeping to the original spirit of your post.

Thanks!

Signs of an alcoholic.

@Life in Stasis

Thanks for the notes, I'll revise it right away! Sorry about that, I appreciate the clarifications.

And it's been edited!

Whiskey, hold the ice, please.

JK. Whiskey is gross.

What is this heresy?

@Fireball XL5 heresy of someone that favors vodka, obviously. Cyka.

Oh, eww! At least pick something with a flavor. I fancy run, myself. Mmm, Kraken...

There's a flavor! Potato-flavor. It's the best.

Supplies are running perilously low!

Ha.

Haven't had any myself in several years. Makes me party a little too hard.

Nice glowing keyboard, nerd.

@Life in StasisHey, mine glows green, with yellow star bursts.

Yeah I'm not exactly one to talk either.

Edit: Man that cat hair is really bugging me. Freaking cats.

It never comes out of anything. And it comes off of everything. And it sticks to everything.

I want to kill myself because I have a shitty laptop.

cya guys in the afterlife

For several years, that was all I had too. It got me through. I did lots of writing in that time. Got banned from a few forums (including this one). It was a wild few years.
