[OOC] Beyond a Fire's Embers

[Genkai]

If you can ever rent it, you need to. I didn't think I could care about someone's drum sticks but damn I did.

And I saw! Since we're sticking to training, I don't think my post will be anywhere near as long as yours or mine before it. ^^;

[mmidnight]

Hopefully it will be in the redbox soon!

Oh, that's fine, haha. There's only so much you can say when they're focused on one thing. I don't care about the length as long as we're moving forward, which we are. So, write however much you like!

[Genkai]

I'll get something up before I go to bed. I took my pill a while ago so I don't know how much long I've got but I should be free tomorrow afternoon before I head out for some crazy antics. And yeah, were moving things along nicely I think.

[mmidnight]

No rush c: I'll be on in the evening for sure, but I think we're putting up the tree tomorrow and I might try and convince my mom to see Interstellar again, or Gone Girl if I finish this book early enough. Either way, you'll have something from me and I have to work on the threads I've been putting off.

[Genkai]

Got a post up! We're gonna be putting up the tree today too so it might be a bit busy on my end. I hope it goes well for you! Hope you stay safe and warm!

[mmidnight]

You too and enjoy the movie tonight!

I think I'll take us to lunch time in my post since they seem to be training pretty separately for the moment.

[Genkai]

Alright, sounds good.

As it turns out my friends wants to try for Tue instead since it's pretty rainy/windy outside so I'll have today to help move things for the tree and set it up, and catch up on any stuff on here. ^^;

[mmidnight]

It's also rainy and windy here, haha. I just finished that book and I'd recommend it if you're looking for something to read. I'm not a murder-mystery person and even I liked it quite a bit. It makes me want to see the movie. I don't know if we're doing the tree tonight, we're being lazy because it's Sunday but eh. I still have shit to do, like ugh. I feel bad and I keep waiting to be inspired for something other than this, but it's just not happening.

Haymitch is not going up with them, correct? I can put him in the cafeteria or something, letting Johanna and Finnick know that something is coming.

[Genkai]

I might my mom might have the book somewhere or my friend. I'd like to get some good reads for Christmas.

And no, Haymitch gets to lurk around. I could have Peeta approach him now, after talking to Cinna and Finnick, etc. I think Peeta knows who to save based on what he's heard. Or we can have it wait until the evening since we're gonna go there after Katniss and Prim become bffs again, or at least talk/hug it out. :3

[mmidnight]

I'd definitely recommend it :3

Whenever you'd like to do it is fine with me. I'm ready for Prim and Katniss to make up. They've made me pretty sad recently.

[Genkai]

Yeah, they need to quit bumming us out. XD

We need to cheer up dis OOC, yo!

[mmidnight]

John Krasinski thinks we're better than the moping we've been doing.

[Genkai]

And if I can do this group post (to which one of them gave a rather sad post of shortness) then I can be happy because it's been a week~!

Of course I'd probably get you a reply too since I'm practically all caught up but I hope you get caught up too cause I feel bad. ^^

Sorta bad.

[mmidnight]

Don't feel bad, haha. I'm into our RP and I just can't get inspired for those other threads. Like, one of them is just me being lazy, but the other one. Idk. I wasn't thrilled with the way my post was interpreted, so I'll have to suck it up and reply.

[Genkai]

I ended up just wanting to hammer shit out with some people since I got the sense they weren't interested and if posts from them are taking a while, either we fix the issue or walk away. There is no sense in me wasting my time posting if it's gonna die soon. With any luck I've been able to clear a lot of inactive stuff from my subscriptions so I know where to focus my time. If you're getting rubbed the wrong way in the IC, try talking it out in the OOC maybe? I hate feeling that sort of weird disconnect, hard to explain but that sucks. I feel your pain, it can really suck inspiration from a RP if you feel weird about how someone is reacting to you. *hugs*

[mmidnight]

Here I am, freshly drunk from Skype >__>

All but like, three threads on my subs are inactive, it's dumb. The minute I bump my interest check I know they'll come back to life, so I'd rather not jinx myself. And yeah, I might do that if it happens again. I feel like I'm being sensitive but their post is basically telling me how my character is acting when he's literally just fucking standing there. I keep telling myself I'll do these other threads before I let myself do ours but we both know how that's going to work.

[Genkai]

The fact is if someone is active, I'll be active but if I have to wait and wait and wait, I almost forget who the hell I was writing and why. Some threads I refuse to unsub from but others, I know would be better left now than later. Why waste my time and someone else's? There this guy a group who stands around and the RPer complains his character isn't doing anything and that he shouldn't have to post. Well duh, do something! I hat passive characters who need to be prodded along. I have a feeling that RP should be killed and revived in the new year. But there's no shame in doing some cleaning of your own or kick some people in the butt to be a bit more talkative or something. It is a busy time of year but we still manage one a day, sometimes more. We've got a good system haha. Though if my RPs began to pick up, I'd miss ours a lot...heh.

Fuck other RPs, let's talk about how awesome ours is!

[mmidnight]

All of them have at least two weeks of inactivity, haha. I usually don't say anything if they haven't been active anywhere else but there was one thread that I really, really liked and I'm sad to see it go. I still hope the other person comes back. And yeah, that's another reason I don't like to do group RPs because you're basically stuck waiting on stragglers and it's like, ugh come on. I think we have a good system, haha. I hope you don't abandon me if you get busy D;

This RP is awesome because:
1. Hunger Games
2. Feels
3. Varying degrees of sexual tension
4. Getting to play on Polyvore
5. Our drunk OOC

[Genkai]

I'm so annoyed with this group, it started off strong and then people who were SO into it, bailed, leaving me with two others. One is barely and the other is good but doesn't want to start over when we've barely made it through like 14 posts. I'm like, I'll scrap it and we can come back in a month because I don't want to drag this thing out. I hate when people show so much promise and then vanish or bail without trying to fix things or find a replacement or something. *shakes head* I've had some great group experiences though, which is why I put up with shit and with any luck I've found a group that's prompt enough to stick around for a while. *crosses fingers* 1x1s are my favorite thing though, easy to communicate (if the person is a good fit), easy to move things along or slow down, and it's just better suited for development and there's only two people to please and not like 5-20 people. >_>

Yes agreed!

Adding to Awesome List:

6. Sexy cast
7. Dinner time is famil time~
8. Crazy antics
9. Shots shots shots!
10. Gifs everywhere!!!
11. Improving Hunger Games with our own evil plots of EMOTION
12. Peeta gets the ending he deserves and so does everyone else.

[mmidnight]

@everyone else rn, u can stay.

I'm sorry that's happened D; It's shitty when things don't go the way you plan. I hope it picks back up at some point so you don't have to start over. And yeah, I prefer 1x1's too just because they're easier. Although I did have a few group RP ideas, I just don't know if I'll try and put them up.

Yaaas, our list is gr9. Also, I'm working on our post because I feel like it and I can try and do the other shit after.
