I'll clear up part of this right now, sorry if it wasn't clear enough in the post. The 'heart' is whatever is inside the blue canister. So a single mystery there instead of two separate ones.

Also, I'm going to try and square away time this week to get out another post. I don't want to end up losing motivation due to weeks of inactivity from the pandemic. The next post was always meant to be shorter/simpler, anyway, so I should be able to find the time among this mess.

Gave me a lot to think about. Obviously I still have much to learn from you o'mighty master in regards to wherever the syntax issues are coming from. AS honestly a lot of the time, even on re-reads, I'm not seeing them.

In terms of the Loki subplot there's more to come, just you wait and see.

Retired used to recommend reading posts out loud a lot, which I think sometimes work but often when you write you know the rhythm you're chasing, so sometimes reading your own writing just has you putting that rhythm in unconsciously and not seeing the issues that an outside observer sees. I'd be happy to take some passages that feel especially awkward and try to demonstrate what you've done and the ways it could be broken up to make the flow of the read a little more pleasant.

Well just gotta face the facts I won't be continuing with Mantra. I have the ideas, I know where I want to go and like the concept, but despite all that, I just have no drive to continue the story. Funny since I was really into it at first, especially the concept which was quite unique, but if I don't feel like writing anymore there's no point in pretending I might continue with it.

In the end, I think it just came down to finding it hard to write magic characters and having such a limited pool to work with. If I make another character I think what I need to do is just thoroughly rework a character so I can write my own story but also be able to pull ideas from a much larger source. My previous attempts have been rather too similar to their original incarnations which is probably why I tend to lose steam so easily as it feels more of a rehash than anything else.

Just a little status update:

I'm still here and still writing. My apologies for not being able to meet the two week deadline this time. Though, I suppose we are all struggling in that regard. Post is about halfway there and I should have some more free time to finish it up after Wednesday, so hopefully I'll be able to get it out there before the week's out.

Hope everyone is in good health and remaining financially secure in these times of ours.

@Roman
I'm glad your enjoying it so far! Sorry that you have to read through several pages worth of text for one post when you got all that reviewing to do lol.

And since I'm here anyway, let me say that I'm digging the stuff your laying down for Constantine right now. I'm a big nerd for more cerebral tinged horror stuff so I'm excited to see where you take John!

So GM update:

Considering everything going on in the world, I'm kind of letting the 2 week thing slide for now. I know people will need time to deal with far more important things in life. The game will always be here. So don't feel too beholden to the two week thing.

@IceHeart sorry to see you go. Hopefully you find something else to write.

@HenryJonesJr has kinda touched on them (with gloves as Rogue doesn't want to kill anyone) but nobody is directly controlling them I believe.

Not anywhere near my best post, but I wanted to get something out there because it has been a crazy ass month. Hopefully the new installment isn't too confusing. Isolation has muddled my ability to tell how sane my writing is.

I've hit a bit of a funk on this and don't know whether I'll be able to push through it. I thought I'd just put that out there in the interest of being transparent rather than ghosting.

Clearly I'm doing a shit job of GMing.

I've touched them a little bit, and Rogue is an integral part of my Steve Rogers story, but otherwise no, not really.

No problem. I'm being pretty lenient on the posting deadlines considering everything going on in the world, so feel free to pop back if you get past it.
