XaltwindIt's about as normal as the opposite, trust me. There are a lot of RPs here in RPGuild (who knew?) and I've seen both kinds with more or less equal number.

South Of Zauberheim
~~~ @AzureKnight (HIS & ENI) ~~~
Hisana, despite being strangled, managed to take a card from her pouch and stab Keith with it right in the visor. The mercenary stopped dead in his track and without a word, fell to the ground dead. However, his body was still bound to Hisana with Elastic Love.
While Keith was down and out, Hisana still has to deal with Enishi who was ready to freeze her in order to subjugate her once and hopefully for all.

"I see...thank you doctor. I think I'll stay here for the rest of the day to be safe. If you could perhaps find some incense so I could meditate. Let them in. I am fine.....as well, if possible - tell me when Varjan wakes, would you? I have unfinished business with that fool."
"Okay then. I'll be back with the incense later. For now, I'll let in your visitors." Doctor Elma softly replied. "I'll also let you know when Varjan would be awake as soon as possible."
Moments after Doctor Elma left, Seleth's visitors enter. "Seleth?" Alicia was the first to enter, then Ecthel, then Mira. "Hello, Seleth. Are you all right?" She asked. All three of your visitors had worried looks on their faces. "We... were watching your match against Varjan. You held pretty well, you know? Compared to others." Her smile was sad. "And there's the fact that you--"
Alicia stopped herself when someone else entered the room. It was Princess Lisianthus herself, who had decided to visit Seleth earlier but her brother did not come with her. Her appearance surprised the other three visitors. "E-Eh? Princess? What are you doing here?" Mira asked the Princess of Razelia.

"Is there a magic registry somewhere? Maybe the library? And maybe I should get something for this headache... I wonder if that old botanist couple know any remedies... Oh, I'm bleeding. Right, she hit me in the head with a bloody barbell, I should get this dressed and... Possibly not sleep tonight."
"Ah, yes. You should get that looked at." Vitalion replied about your injured head.
"Seraph Academy's infirmary is closer than the nearest hospital. Come, I can get you patched up there." The Head Captain said. "Normally, you should be going to the hospital but I can get you inside Seraph Academy. It's just a blow to the head too."
------
Vitalion led you to Seraph Academy, telling you all about the aforementioned school. Seraph Academy was apparently the most prestigious magic academy in Razelia, which is saying something considering Razelia is called the Kingdom of Magic. The academy was pretty busy with celebration and festivities which Vitalion explained that it was the annual Grand Academy Tournament, a competition to celebrate the graduating students. Usually by pitting them against outside opponents to test their skills against unknown skills and abilities.
Despite being busy, Vitalion got you some medical attention. You were put in a room where an Elven doctor used some healing magic to patch up your head wound. The doctor told you to stay put at the moment while she go and get something for your headache.
While you waited, however, you hear loud voices coming from the next room. "I know you can hear me, Varjan! I want you to explain the drugs! VARJAN! I WANT ANSWERS! SIT UP RIGHT NOW, YOUNG MAN!"
I love writing Fantasy the most. Whether Urban or High. It's my favorite because it's literally the only genre I can write. And maybe some semi-realistic Modern Action and Superhero genres.
I can't write super Sci-Fi 'cause I get "That's not how that works! That's not how Chemistry and Physics work! That makes no sense because that's against the Law of Thermodynamics!" and stuff like that.
I can't write Horror because I'm a scaredy-cat.
I can't write Slice-Of-Life 'cause I don't want to live a second realistic life. Also, if it hits too close to home, it gets pretty awkward and uncomfortable.

I don't join much roleplays these days since I have my hands full with GM-duty. That said...
I think one of the main reasons is it's because the RP was not what one expected it to be. What one can see in the Interest Check may be different in the OOC or not how one thought it would be.
Expanding out a little more but after a roleplay transitions from Interest Check to OOC there are always a small chance that people may pull back and decide not to enter, so what would be some of the reasons that may change an applicant's enthusiasm?

Rosemary can keep moving until she reaches less AP than the Goliath Soldiers (who has the second-highest AP).

Yuno used her Lightsaber to deal heavy damage to the Goliath while Rosemary poured on the fire. The undead monstrosity was beginning to buckle against the attacks, blood and parts pouring out of its body.
It had been maybe thirty minutes of continuous fighting and the combatants were tired. A brief moment of respite, however, was all that was needed to continue the battle to its bloody conclusion.
"Damn, cyborg girl's messed up real bad." Greene remarked to Rosemary, referring to the badly-beaten Yuno. "We better end this fight soon while there's still some of her left. Or, you could tell her to retreat to our position. I reckon she'd listen to you more than me. That way, the soldiers would waste time trying to get to us, giving us time." The human suggested. "It's just some advice, miss. Take it or leave it."
Rosemary was the quickest to recover and, likely, the first to move.

No update this week since I'm pretty busy and there have not been much posts.
Sorry guys.
Sorry guys.
The choice was made.
I knew what the choice would be. It could hardly be even called a choice anyway, given who Seleth was and the circumstances surrounding her.
Still, I stood there. Waited and watched.

Suspicious Gym
~~~ @CitrusArms ~~~
"Lumina Lusteria, the Lustrous. Now, let's get this woman wrapped up and hauled in. Oh, and I need to find my tools..."
"Well met, Miss Lusteria the Lustrous." Vitalion as he assisted in tying up Annabelle. "I must confess, however, that I have not heard of anyone called 'The Lustrous' in Zauberheim. Are you from here?"
Once Annabelle was properly bound, some city guards entered the trashed gym and took her away. The crime lady was still unconscious from your three-pronged assault on her vital points so there was not much trouble escorting her away. Vitalion picked his sword back up and sheathed it. The fight, and the operation as a whole, was finally over.
"You are a remarkable fighter, Miss Lusteria. We are more than glad that you have lent your aid to us." Vitalion expressed his gratitude as the scene was now being cleaned up by the city guard. "But that Annabelle was a piece of work, wasn't she? I hope I can still have children. Hahahaha!" He laughed as he patted his crotch.
"But now that our task has ended, what are you going to do now?"

~~~ @Rune_Alchemist ~~~
Varjan listened. He did not reply, too weak to do so, and his face was inscrutable. You saw tears flow from his eyes as he stared at you. Was he disappointed? Did he come to a realization? Varjan's eyes closed as he fell unconscious. The tournament officials then arrived and removed you from the scene. Your last sight of Varjan was him surrounded by healers and medics. He would live.

The injuries you sustained in the fight put you in Seraph Academy's infirmary to recover. The doctor who attended you was a Beastkin of long orange hair with a pair of canine ears, short of stature, wearing a white coat, Doctor Elma. An accomplished doctor in Razelia, choosing to practice her medical expertise in Seraph Academy.
"You have... well, a lot of injuries including a few broken bones and some internal bleeding." Doctor Elma said. "But those are taken care of and you should be good to go in a few hours. But even then, please don't do anything strenuous as it might open the wounds." The Beastkin explained. "If you're worried about Varjan, he's still unconscious but he's stable." Doctor Elma added. "I won't lie, the spear hit the center mass so it hit some pretty important areas. But! We have the best healers in Razelia and Varjan himself is a strong boy so he'll be fine."
"With that said, do you need anything?" The Beastkin doctor asked. "Oh and, you have visitors who want to see you. Just let me know if I should let them or if you'd like to rest some more."
