It's incredible how if you give someone just the tiniest bit of power over others they'll turn into the most self-righteous, selfish, impatient fuckers you will ever meet.

How are some writers on this site still incapable of knowing how a comma works?! It's like the second easy piece of punctuation you learn about as a kid!!!

It'll always be confusing to me when some people regard two or three sentences in an IC post as putting in effort with the writing, yet they consider themselves at a casual/advanced level.

I apologise for my lack of activity, I haven't actually even been online for a while. Life has decided I don't have time for writing, and when I do, I'm just not getting any inspiration. I'm really sorry, but I think I'll have to drop out. It's not fair to keep you waiting while I try and get my shit together.
@Therealsoysauce

Oh no. You don't like me. However shall I survive without your approval, o ratchet one?
I'm fine, I'm just waiting for other people to post. My character is hiding in the storage room, which is where I believe another character has been directed to search.
Sorry again for my delays in posting. I have a busy few days ahead of me, but should be able to post by Monday. I would try and write something earlier, but I don't want to post anything that's below standard.
@DriveEMOut

Yes, I agree that I shouldn't have generalised all of the Free section; I did get carried away there, and I do apologise for it. I'm sure there are well-run roleplays and competent GMs in the Free section, and I did not aim to do them a disservice.

As for anything else, I have nothing to apologise for apart from perhaps bluntness. My complaints still stand, as does my belief that this GM is not a competent one. In all seriousness, good luck with the roleplay, if it ever gets past the Interest Check stage. I can't see it lasting long if it does. Again, this is not me being mean - it's me being candid. I suppose I could offer criticism of the constructive kind, but I don't see the point in this case. Goodbye, and good luck once again!
Okay, the Detective post will be a bit slower than anticipated, I've had a rather busy week with the family. It'll probably be done tomorrow. :D
After a private message from the GM, I've come to realise that they aren't any good at running a roleplay or GMing; since I pointed out obvious flaws in her running this, she addressed me in private rather than risk her own reputation. I have no qualms in repeating it on the public thread, as I highly doubt this roleplay is going anywhere.

Consider this a withdrawal of my interest and character; hopefully she can be used in a better-run roleplay. I suppose I've learnt to avoid free section because of this, so I have gained some experience at the very least.
@Pathfinder

Make a "The Thing" roleplay. That was pretty gruesome. Also, young Kurt Russell was fine as hell.
Will post for my Detective di Santi on the morrow; probably there to arrest some durn kids sticking their noses into dangerous places. don't judge her she wants to serve and protect okay

"Mhmmm... that's too noisy..." Sighing quietly, still half-asleep, the Yellow Topaz shifted in her rock. Only then did her brilliant amber eyes open, at the realisation that she shouldn't be able to shift. In fact, she shouldn't have much room to move at all - but there, the rock and dirt around her was crumbling at each minute movement she made. And that meant only one thing... it was time to wake up! That noise outside, it must be the other gems, readying their awakening troops for the war. Now fully awake, Topaz pushed her way out of her rock nest, greeting the air with a determined smile... however, nothing greeted her back. Smile fading to a look a confusion, the yellow gem climbed out of her hole, landing gracefully on the dusty floor with a soft thud. Where was everyone? All that met her was the nearby noise, and some strange lights - rather than heading towards the noise and where the lights were pointing, Topaz headed straight for the source, overwhelming curiosity momentarily wiping out any worries she may have had about her current situation.

"Hm... very bright. Not Gemtech, too primitive. But then, where did it come from? The humans? They haven't developed so far as to create technology..." Pausing in her quiet observations, Topaz finally looked to where the light was pointing to. There! A lifeform, doing something to the rockface. Or was it the rockface? Whatever it was, Topaz's metaphorical heart sank at what greeted her. "Artificial clothing... advanced technology... far better groomed than the primitive humans we had thought to live here..." She realised that she had been asleep for a long, long time. With the lack of other gems in the area too, it was clear that if the war was even still ongoing, it was not going well for a Kindergarden to be abandoned and unsecure like this. Sighing quietly, she approached the human, deciding that if it hadn't noticed her already, it could be of some use to her. Perhaps it knew of Gems, and where she could find them?

"Hello? What are you doing up there?" To be fair, she was confused at what the human was doing - was it trying to break into the door?
