Darkness and Light

I haven't played Mass Effect yet. I have the games on my steam but havent gotten around to them.

Darkness and Light

Oh sweet, my friends and I sometimes use Discord. One our teamspeak subscription runs out we intend to swap over.

Darkness and Light

@Cultural Titan My intention was to just state that people would be arriving soon, and that Lucinda would want the guests to receive a formal greeting from the family.

The meeting won't be starting for a while, I imagine, but the members of Court/Kingsguard would no doubt be arriving a few hours early to set up in their temporary quarters. Just formalities. I wasn't having her invite Rida to the meeting, but just saying that they should all be present when the guests arrive. I hope that clears it up.

@jordy0403 Also I'd like to apologise for not commenting on your characters sooner. I've not been 100% but I shouldn't shirk from my duties as a Co-GM. So I'll give a quick overview of the characters for you!

First off, Drax. I see no issues with Drax. He seems strong, but not stupidly so. I do find it odd that you described his strengths as being able to handle a multitude of only slightly skilled opponents at once. I assume that's just for comparisons sake, since he is trained as an assassin so I don't imagine going toe to toe with a soldier in battle is really his style anyway.

Also, with Drax, what would his role be at the start of the story? Is he just a wandering hunter, or would he work for the crown? I don't mind either way, just want to have it clarified.

And onto Jaiden. Again, no problem with Jaiden. He seems like an interesting character. I will say though, that you will need to await for Cubix's approval as well on this. Obviously because Jaiden plays a big role with Lethonel so Cubix needs to be alright with that.

So yeah, I'm comfortable with accepting Drax now and giving my approval for Jaiden assuming Cubix is alright with it. You may still want to wait for Cultural's opinion on the characters. He is a lot better at reviewing characters than I am :P

Darkness and Light

I threw something together @_@

also I'm going to work on a Kingsguard because it appears as though all of our Kingsguard characters are inactive aside from one.

Lucinda was very pleased with the simple spread of food before her. Sariel truly knew her well, to offer her what seemed like such a mundane breakfast. Nothing fancy or over the top; just good and honest food to start the day with. A maid carefully used a spatula to slide a soft cooked egg onto a piece of lightly grilled bread. Lucinda would be lying if she said she didn't enjoy the more lavish, extraordinary meals that the kitchen had produced on many occasion. However, every now and then she really appreciated these quiet, simpler times. You just never know how long they will last.

Already the conversation at the table had turned back to Rida and her behaviour. Although Lucinda tried to be supportive of her daughter to prevent her from feeling like a black sheep, she couldn't help but feel the disapproval from Alistair and Sariel. Lethonel stood up for his sister, which warranted a pleasant smile from his mother. Never failing to see the good in others was a very favorable trait of the young boy. Rida looked to be pouting, explaining her intention to lighten the mood around the castle. Lucinda didn't envy Sariel or Alistair right now. Being on Rida's bad side only made you more likely to be a victim of much more sinister tricks. Lethonel interjected with his idea of Rida joining him on his task.

"Splendid idea! It sounds like a fantastic way for you and Rida to spend some quality time together." Lucinda stared back at Alistair and Sariel, beaming. They still seemed a little mad at Rida. Even Alistair muttered a comment on how he'd prefer to punish the girl. Lucinda gently rested her hand on Sariel's lap.
"Let it go, darling. You weren't much different in your youth. I remember once when we were only just betrothed you-" Lucinda stopped herself, staring at Lethonel and Rida. "Oh, but perhaps that story should be saved for another time." The Queen's cheeks flushed red, even more so than usual. She was glad she was able to bite her tongue before sharing a rather scandalous memory from her youth in front of such innocent ears.

Clearing her throat, Lucinda stood from her chair and nodded her head in gratitude to the maids. They responded with deep bows to their Queen before scurrying off to clean up her plate.
"I'm sorry to cut this short, but we must make haste. Our guests will be arriving shortly and I want all of us there at the main gate to greet them. I know, there are a thousand things you'd rather do on such a lovely day, but it would mean a lot to your father if you were all present." Lucinda addressed the children with her plea. She wasn't too fond of greeting her husband's court either, but she knew that if they treated them respectfully they'd be more willing to listen to Sariel.

Nyarlathotep

Morning - The Abyss Labyrinth

@Legion02 | @Cuccoruler | @Cultural Titan

The Dark Lord watched with an almost beast like thirst as their subordinates presented themselves to Nyarlathotep one by one. A leader of a Vampire clan, a dragon knight and a vengeful ghost of a man were among the few that stood out. The creature of the abyss slowly moved down from their throne of black ooze. The masses parted as their lord walked through them.
"Children of Dark," the ominous voices of the Dark Lord rang through the minds of all present. Those of weaker hearts even found themselves feeling nauseous in Nyarlathitep's presence. "Today we make us known to the world. The town of Okly is under siege as we speak. Yet, this is not enough. To the nobility of this wretched land, my followers are simpletons worshiping a false idol. Their acts will only ever be considered the acts of madmen." Nyarlathotep raised it's hand to the ceiling, and the ground began to tremble. People could feel their bodies shaking, and some even felt as though their heads were about to burst. From the tips of their fingers, Nyaralthotep blasted a large beam of darkness that cut through the depths of the labyrinth. Sunlight shone down on Nyarlathotep, giving it's followers a good look at the face of darkness.

"We depart for Okly. Today, I will make myself known. They will tremble before me as they realise that their darkest nightmares are now a reality." There was a loud cheer from the group. The Dark Lord had been inactive for quite some time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. As Nyarlathotep took to the sky with the powerful beating of it's wings, it's followers jumping and climbing up the hole eagerly, it became clear that now was the time for Dark to make the first move.

Darkness and Light

@Cultural Titan I just feel like I should progress things with my post, but I'm not sure how. I don't think we should spend too much time with the breakfast, but at the same time none of the kingsguard are present at the castle so we can't commence the meeting.

also I'm not really sure what the dark side should be doing rn. I'm thinking they should prepare for an attack on the rangers keep, but the rangers are preoccupied right now and I don't want to interrupt that. We just need to put something in motion so the dark side can be revealed to the opposition.

I have absolutely no clue what to write

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

@Caits Ah, I'm so sorry for not being able to respond. Things aren't going too well for me at the moment.

@Expolar Thank you for removing the hiders on my characters for Caits.

@Lmpkio I'm still around... sometimes ._.

I'm sorry, but I'm just going through another period of grief at the moment. I don't want to discuss it too much, but another person who was very special to me has tragically passed on before their time. I try to do my best to be strong in these situations, but having to go through another loss after the passing of my friend not even a month ago really took it's toll on me.

When the new year rolls around, I'll be in a more comfortable position and be able to get back into this roleplay with my characters.

Darkness and Light

Guys I apologise for not being around. I'll explain myself in the hider below, but be warned that there are some pretty personal things mentioned and if you're not in the mood for doom and gloom then I suggest you avoid it because the last thing I want to do is put a downer on someones mood.

Why I've been away

I'll be brief, because I don't really want to talk about this a lot. In essence, my cousin (who is also one of my closest friends) passed away about a week and a bit ago. The loss is really taking it's toll on me, especially since I'm still recovering over the loss of another one of my friends who also tragically left us nearly a month ago now. It's my natural response to shut myself away from everything when I'm upset and forget my responsibilities. I know I should be more resilient, and I am trying, but this holiday season so far has just been filled with grief for myself and my family. It's hard for me to be strong when life keeps slapping me in the face with these tragedies one after another.

Despite everything, I still want to be a part of this. Although at this point I'm not entirely sure where we all are. I also might not be very active in terms of my Co-GM responsibilities for a while but at the very least I still want to write. Writing makes me happy, and I need that right now.

Sorry for being away, and I hope this shed some light on my disappearance.
