Then there can be interaction as the boat leaves for the other side of the ocean (Where Elaniel is, I assume... right DP?).
Yeah, across the yet-to-be-named ocean (I really should finish the map) to Elaniel. They're not just sailing north around the top of the continent to get to the dragon nation because they'd get noticed. If this RP was less cool, Vikki could just call in an undetectable submarine or jet or something, but since we're hardcore in injecting realism sometimes, it rolls this way.
The boat will enter Elaniel via a fishing port and they'll have to trek across the country and junk. I'd imagine we won't make that take 7 seasons since intel and stuff will allow them to walk in undetectable paths for a lot of it. Maybe there can be a sequence where they find cars and there's a sweet car chase and jumps and stuff. (Ignore me.) As for the boat voyage itself, how much time do we want to spend on it for character interaction and stuff? If none we can just hard skip to when it gets to port.
@Nytem4re I looked at every deal throughout the day, including the ones that were 100% claimed within seconds, and still didn't find anything to write home about. It wasn't because I missed the good stuff that I thought it was a letdown, it's because I didn't find anything to be upset about if I did happen to miss it. I know there were some decent TV, monitor and computer deals, but I looked at them and none were substantial enough to be worth it in my book.
Yeah, I didn't end up getting anything. Most of it was stuff nobody wants, and the stuff I was interested in wasn't enough of a discount to be remotely worth it. Oh well...bring on Black Friday!
Amazon Prime Day was kind of a letdown :/

~ Vikki ~
Vikki sighed a sigh that indicated she was a little relieved when Maria said her piece, the two she had randomly picked diligently left the bar to meet Prometheus, and everyone else began following her. They flocked slower than she would have liked, but at this point she was just thankful they weren't so oblivious that they didn't move from their seats.
Soon, the group reached the docks. Vikki was immediately greeted by a woman she could only describe as Medusa. Except Medusa never looked as confused as this woman did.
Vikki gave a hint of a grin when the woman said "I want to help."
"I'm glad somebody does," she replied half-sarcastically. Ignoring the suddenly present male who immediately asked the most confused looking person in sight what to do, she turned to the rest of the group, still technically responding to Andromeda and Ryuu.
"This is our boat," she said, gesturing towards a very unassuming fishing trawler. "It looks normal because it is. This way, we can enter Marcus' territory undetected if we stay below deck. Hope you like fish," she concluded, turning back to the confused Medusa. "We're going to infiltrate the mainland and rendezvous with Brako at the dragon nation. We have to get all of the reinforcements we can get if we can hope to defeat Marcus' forces. We may have to stand our ground right here and defend ourselves and the innocent people of Oasari, but with luck and tenacity we'll succeed."
She turned towards the boat as she nonchalantly added, "And then I'll get paid." She walked into the boat and motioned for the rest of the group to follow.
~ Mizuki ~
Meanwhile, Mizuki refused to admit that she had no idea where she was going, nor that she was happy to be separated from the large group of apparent insufferables. She admitted that nearly anyone would fall under her definition of "insufferables", but she didn't care, and quietly followed the one called Crash as he asked for directions.
Vikki'll post when I get back home later today.
Well still got time to think about and with how I feel...its more on the side on going... I mean I would be visiting but not much as being part of this anymore.
That format will be like...years probably so it just better if I go then take a long hiatus.....they might not be difference to the both of them but if it does go back to the slice of life format I won't feel for it... its a thing hard to explain but ya....
Its been fun but things change for better or worst or anything opinion change and its fen if I leave I didn't have much of an impact already to cause any problems so so ya... (So casual about it)
Things change! It's all cool. As Rose said, we'll always welcome you back with open arms.
It's why Carmen and Lily live in an apartment complex which is where everyone else was supposed to live as well but I don't think anyone set up shop there other than me and DP in proxy.
Ye.
And Carmen does have her own place, but that's because she does actually live there. It's her home town, where she lived before the Academy - hence why everyone's there now (she offered). She's living with Lily because...because. :D
I'm pretty sure Carmen has an arc that may happen in the future.
Ye.
She sort of has two, actually. The journey to hell to get her trumpet back, and the other one (La boheme) which is more of an operatic group arc with an emphasis on Carmen getting dying and being brought back to life. Both could conceivably be combined into one, but then it would be like crashing La boheme into The Damnnation of Faust or something. #opera
And we've gotta do the Fate time travel one.
Also one thing... I think why veterans well some lost interest is becuase at first it was an open free idea, any ideas could be built and we can play along together but here it like new plot! Kinda sudden and not sure about, its a bit suddenreally.
Well, it was and it wasn't. Initially we just kind of chatted at the Academy, but very early on Rose and NK were forming plot ideas to guide the roleplay. Even in these large-scale arcs, though, it's still pretty free. I agree that this current incarnation is a bit less free than before, but that's because now we're getting into the heat of a war and the thick of a big plot, and the characters need some IC direction. One of my two rare characters (the other being the still as yet unintroduced Kali Rana...I guess the Empress counts too) is there explicitly for that purpose.
I guess I am more for the slice of life type and school type of rpers so thats why I really don't like the idea of taking siege againt evil even if that I love to do that it just.. perk me up. Thats why a week to think about it would help me to really see if I am for this am not.
I mean if you think about it, it's likely that after Marcus gets defeated it'll move back more to the old format. Surface evil gets got, underworld evil's still hangin', and Maria makes a new school or something and we get a platform to start launching character arcs from. Of course, a lot of the old students wouldn't be students anymore (Carmen would scoff at the concept), but other than that... -shrugs- So I would say don't leave, at the most take a hiatus until the pendulum swings back to the format you like.
I am yet to decide where she will reside, but it's probably on the coasts of the Lavanyan homeland and near Oasarian seaspace, or very close to Oasarian borders if they have territory in the continental mainland. Forget that I said that Artav's house was near the inn where most of the characters are currently at, unless it's true.
Oasari doesn't have any holdings on the mainland, just the northeastern archipelagic landmass.
Artav could very well be right there, provided she got that figured out with Carmen prior to everything. She could also be anywhere in Oasari by the same virtue.
I also might leave if we restarted, and I know I'm not the most active player but I'd like to think I would be missed if I left (I have low self-esteem though so I always kind of think that I won't be, and I kinda fade into the background like Destiny was saying, but I don't know).
You would be, of course.
Just like any member of this roleplay. When someone leaves, they get missed hard. Doesn't matter who.

Random sidenote: a Latin jazz album out of San Francisco just got released that I play on! So if you uh, want to listen to it, here you go.
