[OOC] Beyond a Fire's Embers

[Genkai]

Let me try and think about this or maybe we've done so much and I'm just forgetting something.

First night there we had Johanna be a stripper, the next day Johanna and Katniss spar and Iva and Yelven are introduced, the next day Katniss and Prim are mad at each other which makes it day two of training, day three is where we're at and everyone is made up, tomorrow is day four and it's a half day, then is day five and supposedly Friday and no training? Is that right? So I think we could get to lunch, skip to the evening, if just to talk about the ball for a post or no? And then skip to the next (fri) night? Is that right?

[mmidnight]

Oh, maybe you're right. Days blur together on RP time. We'll go with that because it sounds accurate and sure, get to lunch, skip and then skip again.

[Genkai]

We really need to keep things together haha, though it isn't easy. I mean I could be missing a day but I don't think so.

So you're cool with getting to Thur lunch? Which is the half day, and we skip to dinner the same day and then pretty much a whole day to Friday before the Ball? Or did you wanna do something else? (just asking or double checking lol since skips do take a lot from us)

EDIT - Welp I posted, if you wanna skip to the morning, with a nice slow whatever, go for it. Or I can in my reply. I need to finish my intro or do more of it at least and I should be hitting the hay soon. I should be on tomorrow most of the day. ^^;

[mmidnight]

Yeah, I'm cool with it. We've highlighted what they need to do in training for the last few of their days and ours, so I don't mind being like, THEY WENT THERE AND DID THE DAMN THING, because everyone is pretty much in a place where they can train and feel okay about it. If something else happens down the line and we need to use the training room for something, we can but right now, we can move onto the ball.

I'll skip :3 and they can do whatever before we skip again to lunch.

[Genkai]

Alright, I look forward to it. ^^

[mmidnight]

Getting started now :3

[Genkai]

After updating the Doc, we now have 109,500 words or so. Like holy fuck! XD

[mmidnight]

omg! Didn't we have 75K just last week? Wow, we move fast, haha.

[Genkai]

I know, I had to do a double take and make sure.

Goodness, I can't imagine where we'll be at the end of the month. Plot wise or word count wise...

[mmidnight]

I hope by the end of the month, we'll be in the actual games! But god, dat word count doe!

[Genkai]

I think we might be at the Games by next week, within 5-7 days real time I mean. There isn't a lot else we planned to cover, we're ready to do the ball, then we've got a bit more training to skip or do briefly, then Peeta's party maybe? Then the interview the following night, the night before the Games (not sure it'll be the same as the interview but they do need their scores, maybe on the day of Peeta's b day if we're still doing it) and then Game time! Go team go!

EDIT - Actually looking at that, it might take maybe 2 weeks of real time since things might get a bit more busy for us...hahaha.

[mmidnight]

We're getting in 2-3 posts a day. I'm not sure how many we're going to have for the ball, but we're going to need to spend some time on it for fluff and for actually planning Peeta's plan because of Johanna's distraction. And then yeah, Peeta's birthday, we're going to have to do their tricks for the gamemakers, get the scores and the night before stuff. And then yeah, game time! Maybe we'll be close to the escape by the end of the month then?

[Genkai]

The Ball will be pretty important as you said. The scores, Peeta's b day probably come the next day or two? And then we could have the interview that night and then I assume it would be the same night before the Games? I think we also wanted them to spend some time together as a group and then before bed together cause EMOTIONS. I feel like we're gonna be spending a lot of time in the Games. We have a week to cover, though we won't be covering it all, I assume we'll cover 4-5 days of it with the bits we want to highlight but the beginning and ending will need several posts. From the plan to the fleeing, to the fighting...oh it's gonna be a mess.

If I had to estimate...I'd say by Christmas or the end of the year/month, we should be either in the Games or almost there...but I'd bet just starting the Games.

What do you think?

[mmidnight]

The scores and the birthday come a day or two after the ball? I thought there was two weeks of training? Unless that's what you mean and I'm just being a derp. And yeah, interview is the night before the games, so we'll get that out of the way and then the games themselves which I agree is going to take a lot of time. Even though we've only set aside seven days for it, there's a lot that's going to be happening. It's going to be chaos when the group gets split up. That sounds like a pretty doable timeline, though!

Also, this post isn't going the way I want it to. I apologize in advance that it's shitty but I'm having trouble with it for some reason. I know what I want to say, but it's not coming out right.

[Genkai]

I thought we were going to do 10 days somewhere between a week and two weeks. Of course if you want to do two weeks that's fine. And I do for see a lot of time being spent in the Games with their various groups that we have planned out. Either way we have a lot to look forward to.

I'm sorry, I'm sure you'll be able to figure something out that you're happy with don't stress out too much. ^^;

[mmidnight]

Oh, would they not get the weekends off? Haha, I was under the impression that it was like school and Saturday and Sunday didn't count. I am being derpy. Where's my mind today? D;

No, it's shitty. I know it's shitty but all I can do is promise that the next one will be better. I feel like it has no flow and I already rewrote it twice *facepalm*

[Genkai]

I figured they'd train during the weekends, I don't think breaks would work with the mindset of 'gotta train' and beef up mah muscles bro.

Oh shut up, I loved your post. Stop being silly and accept that it's not as bad as you think and in fact made me grin and get fuzzy feelings~! :3

[mmidnight]

That makes sense, haha. Idk what I was thinking.

o: I'm glad you liked it then! I can't believe it gave you warm fuzzies, but I'm glad it did <33

[Genkai]

It's ok. It's probably good to make sure we're on the same page as far as dates/days/events go...did we need to hammer anything else out or...?

Yes I liked it. ^^ And if your next post is gonna be better, well bring it on! I think I'll get you a post soon then. And for mine, should I skip us to lunch or dinner or Hogwarts? I thought lunch but idk

[mmidnight]

No, I think we're good for now. Especially since weekends are counting in our extra training, haha.

I think Hogwarts would be best. Let them learn some unforgivables before the games ;3 but no, idc. Lunch, dinner, wherever you feel like is fine with me!
