@chukklehed If you want to talk about my Rp, please address the creator. As for why the important scene is going so slow before you judge, One of our Rulers was deactivated. If it's not up to your speed I suggest you look elsewhere while we speed up.
I was speaking to the person who invited me because I know them personally and wanted to listen to the opinions of a person I trusted to be unbiased and honest with me. I do not judge, I do not blame, and I do not care to argue. The discussion was over, and nothing further was to be gained by resuming it.
The "real" world, which we are all familiar with. In the Frontside, magic has died off over time, and now is only a trickle in the most powerful bloodlines, easily explained away by skeptics.
A place one might think of as the "origin of magic". If stories are to be believed, the Otherworld was once closely bound with the Frontside, but over the past millennia references to it have ceased to be. It has gone by many names including Fairyland, the Dream World, Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory. Now, only a few pockets of Otherworld intersect with the Frontside enough to have any effect on it. In these places, magical power pools and some people are able to cross between the two.
The Otherworld is inhabited primarily by Emotes, reflections of the emotions of Humans in the Frontside. Their state shapes the state of the Otherworld drastically, and in recent times has twisted it into a nightmare realm of negative emotions. Since the state of the Otherworld effects the state of human emotions, and human emotions effect the state of the Otherworld, humanity has fallen into a self destructive cycle of negative emotions, especially in places where the boundary is thin, and without Guardians to manage it, the Otherworld has grown unruly.
Otherworld has a form of sentience, which is most heavily demonstrated by it's selection of Guardians, people with magical potential whom it pulls across the barrier to manage the Emotes. Without Guardians, the Otherworld has become inhospitable to humans.
Well, I wouldn't know about the 'Drill Sergeant' thing or not. In the Marine Corps we have Drill Instructors and I never had any intention of becoming one. It was just a running joke amongst the enlisted ranks that we did all the hard-labor and shit work, while the officers would just issue orders and sit at their desks doing paperwork. xD
Now, that's not always true. But it certainly always seemed to be the case.
Hmm. Well, it's what both my dad and one of my bosses say their Drill Sergent said to them whenever someone called them "sir"
