Shattered & Scattered Shards of Sustenance

@Damon, Everblight, Bainshie: Great to hear!

@Everyone interested: I'll do my best to get up a rough OOC today/tonight then, though I'd rather know if people want a ton of details in terms of cities and continents etc. Or if I should leave the locations more free form and focus on the back story dealing with magic. Input totally desired, as I'd hate to spend time on things you don't need as much as others. :3

No I didn't, I kept wondering where it was in my subscriptions and then I realized I made this prior (I think) to when we could. ^^;

Oh I used to like those. I loved doing them on ff.net before it became against the rules to do that for fandoms. *snaps fingers*

I've been okay, dealing with family crap, have a midterm next week and a possible root canal. :/

Doctor Who: Multi-Dimensional

I understand.

Well we went with 52 since jokers + adverts don't matter too much. I guess some people just don't play cards though, pity.

I have a friend coming over tomorrow for doughnuts and tv, but I'm back to working on a post for you until my sleeping meds kick in so with any luck it'll be up whenever you have the time to poke your head back here. ^^;

EDIT - Finished Jen's post and starting on Ten's but my mind is beginning to lose focus so I may have to call it a night and finish in the AM or PM, depending if I get up and get something up before my friend comes over, I dunno what'll happen. We'll see! Either way, SOMETHING should but within 24 hours.

Dude. I can FINALLY subscribe to this. I seriously thought I had. >___<' Hellooooo!

Digital or Real?

Japan isn't that complicated, granted we're doing something set in the future, I'd like to believe some honorifics have been cast aside and most modern day family are quite up to date as far as housing goes, school can be a bit complex but since you've decided upon London, I won't get off track. That works for me. I don't think we'll need to concern ourselves with certain dialogue or accents, as using general slang or terms should be enough to get by without making too much of a mess.

In terms of when we start, be it say 2020 or something like 2040, I don't think will matter too much. I just wanted to know in terms of knowing about pop culture, events and the like but considering we're doing this in the future either way, it shouldn't matter when. I don't want to bog ourselves down with technical innovation in real life since this already has an 'anime' feel I think it's safe to suspend certain jargon and logic. That's the issue with certain cyberpunk/sci-fi is that I find some people focus too much on the technical and not so much on the plot as a whole, along with the emotional stuff. So it's great that you're up in terms of how close people really are to getting goggles (versus the google glasses we have today-ish) but it's not something I would personally want to focus on too much because it usually takes the whimsy out of the equation. So I'm fine with either year, though doing a bit of math probably has it that if we began in 2020, with our characters around ten or twelve, the bulk of the RP would probably take place in 2030-2035 range which is fine with me. Otherwise it would be around 2050-2055 for the other option but I'm really flexible since it's not something I've put much thought behind like you may have.

Arcs/Chapters can happen, surely. I expect we'll break events down accordingly. If we're building a foundation for the future, I'd still like to express my hesitance of lingering in the "kid-teen" department for too long. I don't see it being too necessary to stretch that out any further than like 10 posts each (probably a page or a page and a half). Or something like that. It's just my ability to write from the vocabulary and mindset of a young child is difficult, not impossible and not something I'd outright deny but granted it's more than likely my writing won't necessarily be able to reflect that of a ten year old but if it's in the future, I guess you never know. Considering how lame kids are these days, it's entirely possible we've turned child rearing back around to actually enforce reading and respect and the like, and not focus too much on digital devices. I dunno. I ramble. We should probably outline a very very rough timeline of events (be them global or local) just so we're both able to refer to the same things, without over complicating the RP.

I have no qualms with ending a RP, I've done it before and then I've make sequels and the like and they're fun. Granted the ending is logical and definitive, it suits me just fine but planning TO end at a point seems rather pointless, the last thing I want to do is go down a check list and reach the end and be done with it, RPs tend to end more gracefully than that. If we want, we could always try something post-apoc or dealing with time travel afterwards. It'll be hard to see how it fits in but it's an option.

In terms of locations and things I've gathered, I've come up with some things/thoughts I've had in mind:

In-Game Locations:

An abandoned Hall

A Majestic View

A Golden City

A Oceanside Oasis

A Dark Division

A Dazzling Escape

A Great View added 2/1

A bit of Joy added 2/1

A Red Wood added 2/1

A Piece of Peace added 2/1

Real Life Locations:

*I have a lot of modern+fantasy images that could be called a future if you were keen on the idea of water levels rising and things becoming more organic on the surface while making technological bounds, perhaps it could tie into a sequel of a new setting. I dunno. It's not easy finding a lot that could be London, but it's not impossible. I'm kind of quickly rummaging through my old piles, I do need to check out some new things though.

A Classroom

A Celebration

A Blast (could be in either section but I think it's cool)

A Skyline added 2/1

Anywho I'm multitasking at the moment but I can check back + edit if I come across anything new, depending on our vision for the game itself and tone.

Doctor Who: Multi-Dimensional

Woohoo! I'm home and fed!

Oh politics, though art a heartless bitch these days...>_<' It sucks how one group of jackasses can tank the USA faster than any enemy missile. Anywhooooo...

Class was decent, nothing too new. Just probability stuff and sadly half the class didn't know how many cards were in a deck. *rolls eyes* Oh well, I should have maybe one hour of refreshing to do this weekend but I should be fine otherwise. And now I can finish my post and get it up before I hit the hay tonight. I know you mentioned tomorrow (for me) is gonna be a bit hectic so not rush.

Shattered & Scattered Shards of Sustenance

Yes, something like that. *nods nods*

Any ideas to keep me coming back here?

It's no one's responsibility to entice you, it's yours. And sometimes there will be days or weeks where nothing is of interest to you but it shouldn't stop you from trying. If you can't find anything you like, make something yourself and stick to it. Or make it a habit to come online even for just ten minutes a day, after two weeks it should become more natural and you should find it easier to stop things you like, rather than just everything you don't. Try something new, break out of your comfort zone, network with people, but all of this is on you. Hopefully something clicks for you and gives you a reason to stick around.

EDIT - The last thing you should do is raise your hand for a RP if you really aren't into it. If you're not, figure out why and fix it. The last thing people want is someone who has a record of bailing (be it on accident or not). So be mindful of others, should you suddenly change your mind about committing to a RP. :3

{ Wizards, Time Lords & Muggles.

She did have to pay for what she did, I see why she needed to die but it really sucked. I liked Nan and Misty and even the hot neighbor guy. Queenie has been on the fence for me but she's a very realistic character which was nice. Overall it was a good season, everyone's acting was good (cept maybe for Emma's as Madison).

I'll probably need to get going to class now, I'll text you when I'm out...or maybe during. But coverage there is pretty spotty as well. >_> Have fun napping and eating and writing. In whatever order.

And yay, give me a post.

Doctor Who: Multi-Dimensional

Yeah, I don't see them sticking around anyway, I mean for a while. I mean. >_> I mean they won't be there long! XD Damn these meds of mine...

I'll allude to it in my post then. And I'll FF for Ten and Summer and get them nice and situated with her folks.

I hope our judicial system works like that! I mean why else would adorable old people in congress get away with such crap? /sarcasm

I should be off class shortly, I have my post probably 40% done. Hopefully I can make it home tonight with some energy left so I can finish it.
