"Do you think he's going to be ok getting up the steps? I thought he would be up here by now..." She cast the question to either of the two boys, turning to look down the steps they had come up and biting the inside of her cheek. She could feel the calm atmosphere beginning to dissipate from her mind.

Zvi shrugged as he answered Margo's open ended question. "I don't know. He has been a while. Maybe we should go back for him. Besides, there's not much else to see here. We could wait for weeks and not see a rare Pokemon." Zvi then looked to Indy who agreed, and the three of them began their climb back down, along with all the Pokemon they let out of their Pokeballs.

When they reached the edge of the temple ruins, they found Old Man Nobu waiting for them. He wore a somber face and held a note in his hand. "Hello children." He said with a weak smile. "I have something for you." He held out and waited for any of them to take it. "It's from your friend. After you all left, he doubled back to find me and gave me this. He said he's sorry, but he couldn't tell you in person. Said he's going back home. I told him he should speak with you himself, but he wouldn't hear it. He'll be fine though. I asked Hermes to protect him till he leaves Septoh."

@TheForgottenArc Oh my goodness! I hope you come back so that we can all roleplay with you again, you're such a wonderful person to write with! Like pretty said, I'm so happy that you can pursue your career still, and it's lovely that you're spending time with your family and friends right now. We will all miss you : )

@Balthazar007
So sorry for my lack of activity this week--my birthday is coming up and my mom paid me a surprise visit with a friend so I've been running on steam lmao. I'm writing up a post right now!

@iKatamalicious

@prettydrops

Awesome! I'll get another post up before bed.

In the mean time, I just realized I forgot to update the music and location in the first IC post. Any time I forget to do that, please let me know. I have music set aside for every location listed.

EDIT: Okay, my post is up. I'll let one of you "read" the note if you like. Probably Indigo since they were close friends.

Pokemon: Storm

I could post tonight but I'd like to give @iKatamalicious a little more time.

I'll post again by Friday, unless @iKatamalicious posts today. In that case, I'll post before bed.

Pokemon: Storm

@Balthazar007for sure! Thank you! That helps a lot. Ill edit indigos post soon! Sorry this week is craaazy.

@prettydrops

No worries.

Pokemon: Storm

I will edit indigo's post to include dan's disappearance.

Edit: actually... is there any chance we could have it so dan went back home? A trainer dissapearing into thin air is such a terrifying thought and i feel like indigo and margo would probably be pretty traumatized by it. Im not saying Dan can't dissapear, perhaps he disappears, but he dissappears after he goes back home. im just saying for now, could we have a safer send off? Just so that... idk.. just so that the chars aren't super traumatized?

If not, then i think i could still make it work. Buy it would be challenging because realistically, idk if anyone could just continue on after their longtime friend dissappeared you know?

@prettydrops

This is a valid point.

How about we mix the two: dissapearing and going home. How about Indy or Margo find a letter at the temple entrance hand written by Dan.

The letter could say he is going home to be with his family. He couldn't bring himself to tell you two in person because he didn't want you to try and change his mind. He also didn't want to slow down your adventure any further. He's riding back to town with Hermes and asks that you don't try and contact him for a couple days, while he's traveling. He'll call you when he gets there. He looks forward to hearing all about your adventures.

This way. After a couple days in roleplay time, you can start using Dan as a NPC that is back home. Kind of like when Ash would call home to talk with Oak or his mother.

Better?

Pokemon: Storm

Understood about the search party, I think that's a great way to deal with Dan's circumstances. Maybe we can even still keep him in as an NPC or something, someone who shows up at times or something.

@prettydrops

That is up to @TheForgottenArc, we can't NPC his character without his permission. And if we do that, I'd like control of when and how he makes surprise appearances.

Pokemon: Storm

Thank you again, all of you, wish me luck.

@TheForgottenArc

I think I speak for everyone when I say it's been good writing with you.

As for everyone else, I propose that we continue onward and weave Dan's exit into the fabric of the story. I think we should move forward as if Dan went into the woods alone and then was never found again.

I think Indy, Margo, and Zvi should mount a little search party after checking out the ruins (one or two posts each). When they finally give up, we'll move forward with the adventure.

If Kris (i.e ForgottenArc wishes to return in the future, I have multiple ideas for why he would have disappeared (most to do with Legendary or Mythical Pokemon of course).

As far as letting a new person join our RP, I'll leave that up to you two. If you decide you want to do that, we can work them into the story, no problem.

Jak and Daxter: The First Precursor

@Ladypug

Hey!

I've added some more.

I didn't change anything I've already written besides getting rid of the "Chapter 2" title and making everything after the prologue a part of "Chapter 1".

I think I'm going to insert a hider underneath "Chapter 1" summing up theoretical game play. Then I'll write chapter 2. Basically, chapters are like extended cut scenes.

Picture everything that happened in the prologue as seeing Jak on this Precursor ship and meeting the Elder Precursor. At moments during this scene, credits of the design team would scroll across the screen. Logos such as Naughty Dog's paw print could be inside things like the clouds, tree bark, and flowers/leaves blowing in the wind coming across the "camera".

Extended scenes wouldn't have the Elder Precursor's voice over the entire time. Parts where I describe the scenery would just be replaced with artwork, of course.

What do you think? :)

Jak and Daxter: The First Precursor

I have not seen or even heard of the show until now. We just got rid of our cable, so I can't really check it out (unless it's being streamed or w/e) but it sounds kinda nifty

@Ladypug

It's on Netflix. It's a violent drama. You should try it out. But to be fair, I'm not saying "If you like Jak and Daxter, you'll like Into the Badlands." I just think it's cool how much they have in common when you look closely at them.

Pokemon: Storm

@Balthazar007forgot to tag you for zvi's response! Again, just wanted to see if any interesting information would pop up xD

@prettydrops

In your post, you seem to forget that Daniel isn't with the group. He stayed behind to do something, and we still don't know what since ForgottenArc kind of left that in the air.

Can you edit Dan out of your post?

Or add another line after Zvi calls out to Daniel, saying that he raised his voice even louder when calling out to him. That way you at least acknowledge that Daniel is not nearby the group, but perhaps close enough to hear Zvi yell.
