Ashes over the Rivianne Solaire [On Hiatus]

""Another flash of lightning would briefly illuminate the dinning room, shinning through the half-open doors. This brief moment of clarity highlighted the true state of room in which the 'guests' were reunited. Not only were the unused chairs back in place, resting upside down over the table but also the whole room seemed old. The tablecloth, once of a pristine white, was now tattered and torn. A fine layer of dust settled over the furniture, cobwebs hanged from every nook and cranny, and the silverware was tarnished to an almost sable tone. Even the floorboards creaked as the walked around.

Once the flash of light and the usual blindness that followed it had been dealt with by all if the 'guests', those with better sight between them would be able to notice a faint source of light coming from the corridor outside. It danced like an open flame and, if anyone cared to check, they would see that indeed it was a pair of oil lamps, hanging from a brass hook in the wall.

The corridor itself as was long, spanning at least twelve yards to each side of the dinning room's double doors with two single doors equally spaced, both to it's left and right. The opposite wall had a set of eight big, dirty glass windows spaced equally between themselves. The windows were firmly nailed and had iron bars bolted to their outside, likely, to protect the mansion against thieves.

What kind of decision would the Rivianne's 'guests' take now?

By the way, yeah, you are fighting more than one of those things. That's why trying to build more cities is too dangerous, the world is way too packed with monsters and dangerous wildlife.

Wait, Rocs. Rocs as in the elephant eating birds.

How big are these Rocs?

The War of the Three

The battle continues!

"Quick, over here! They must be right ahead," Diana said as she took the lead of the maggot girl, holding her hand as the two of them rounded the last corner that would lead them into, "What the hell is going on here?"

Diana stopped when she was confronted with one of the most chaotic scenes she ever saw in her whole life. Somehow there was sea inside the dungeon, perhaps it was more accurate to call it an underground lake? More over, it was on fire and a whole group of people that Diana didn't knew anything about were fighting one another. Lots of explosions and other stuff ensued.

However, this wasn't Diana's biggest concern right now. "This shall do the trick," Diana said to herself as she pluck a few hair strands and dropped them on the floor, to make sure that Titanica would keep on their trail.

"I hope you can hold your breath for sometime!" Just as she said so, Diana grabbed a hold of Suparna's waist and lifted her off the ground before holding her in a bridal carry. Once she had a hold of the maggot girl, Diana broke into a sprint, "There we go!" she said as she ran into Zeruel from behind. She ran past the brute and jumped in the water just as he kicked Henry away and the Demon responded with a missile salvo.

The only thing she could hope for is that all this chaos could shake Titanica. "If this doesn't work, we will have no choice other than fight that thing," Diana though as she dived deeper and deeper, trying her best to avid making the two of them a target for the many being fighting into that black sea, especially the sea serpents that somehow seemed to flock these waters.

The War of the Three

In other news, this RP is a year old now.

*Throws confetti*

Yay!

The War of the Three

If you are going to move your scene forward do so already. If nothing of note happens to it from a couple more days or so, we ae going to move forward with the story as said before.

Be a bit more practive with your posts instead of waiting for days between each of you replying to the others, otherwise this will never go anywhere. You ask us for time and we give it, but you return no progress or even a single heads up about what's happening. That's a bit unreasonable, don't think?

I'll post once I stop being sick. Fuck, I hate this.

@Hammerman

No worries.

War Notes

Furthermore, half of the characters don't even have anyone else to reply to at the moment. It's slowness for slowness' sake that ticks me off. Especially when no one comes to the OOC to communicate us about their situation until we have to go out of our way to poke people.

War Notes

I would like to suggest that a chat server probably would help. Something that can happen to RPs is an inactivity cascade, where everyone just nervously waits for someone else to make the first post.

@Leotamer

This can just simple be solved by... posting, I guess? I mean, you are supposed to be able to not only react to things but much more importantly to be active and help advance the story. Otherwise what are you doing?

Anyway, we are used to that, which is why we'll keep poking people to post when the RPs begin to get slower than is reasonable. Otherwise if everyone is going to wait someoen else to post instead of doing something on their own, the RP is surely going to die because it's a hell of a pain to have to carry this weight while GM.

In other words, players don't need a chat to solve this kind of thing. They need to learn to be proactive. Your character doesn't exist solely to be a reply-bot to others' post. Or at least it shouldn't.
