Yay, Manafest remembered what he was decent at. :D

Reviews, reviews for everyone. Mwhahahaha!

@Gin Since you sent it to me. 7.5/10 Rating comes down to taste. Not a big black metal fan either. But I am a sucker for metal with different instrumentation and this track is pretty well done musically. I'd give it an 8 at least, if it maybe had a little more lyrical quality, maybe higher if I particularly enjoyed the genre.

@Aristo 7/10 Very few songs are worth a 9 minute run time in my humble opinion. But it was enjoyable enough, good atmosphere.

@TheMadAsshatter 7.5/10 Note I'm not nostalgic for this song. But that is a pretty good solo/ending riff.

I guess this album might at least be an interesting one. This grew on me after the second chant, I might used to this guy's most high/aggressive vocals.

Dante "Stalker" Foster

Music

Hearing the subtle dripping coming from the mold growing on the ceiling, the pungent reeking scent of bleach and decay. Dante had shielded his eyes from the evil presence surrounding him, the suffocating aura made his breathing shallow. Dante sauntered through the room, quickly feeling around the entire area with his tail. Wiping his foot off on the nearest solid surface, to remove whatever liquid he had just stepped in, took thick to be water. "Just remaining here makes me remember everything all over again...I can't stand this much longer." Dante thought. Interrupted by his tail colliding with a rounded metallic object. Finally prying his eyes open, his heartbeat suddenly stopped while simultaneously letting out a quick gasp. His tail had in fact been wrapped around a doorknob, but it was merely discarded on a wooden desk. The demon's gaze directly in front of him, reaching its elongated claw out.

"You'll never drag me there!" Dante shouted crushing the object with his strike, shattering the demon into pieces of glass. Taking a moment to catch his breath, regaining composure as quickly as the doorknob that rolled off and clanged to the ground. Wasting no time to meticulously comb over the area, feeling no apprehension about creating noise. Once it appeared that a tornado had blown through, binders and folders with the Bible's thickness, filled with either coded information or pure gibberish. Rusty tools and knives, dismantled guns without any ammunition, everything scattered across the floor. Having nothing in his clenched claws except for layers of dirt and dust. Returning into the narrow hallway, it felt like pressure gripping his throat had been lifted. "All that effort-with absolutely nothing advantageous for my escape. Perhaps, it's my own strategy that requires reevaluation. Instead of operating by myself, maybe I should stop and ask for directions."

It was a surprisingly brief period of time expended involving the opening the giant mechanical door, like it had been unlocked afterward. Casually stepping outside and seeing nobody in the vicinity, barely hearing a whisper. Climbing back on the ceiling and leaving the area behind while humming a tune, scanning the grounds beneath and heading through another seemingly vacant hallway with an equally long perpendicular hallway on both sides, leaving him to scratch his head, feeling like a rat lost in a labyrinth. “Why make an underground building so expansive if you don't even have enough guards to properly fill it? Typical, the stupidest ones always somehow become the ones that garner the money and power.” Dante muttered inaudibly, “I just want someone I can easily intimidate and interrogate.” He grinded his teeth, heading down a direction chosen on a whim, his growing desires starting giving him a headache. He wanted a cigarette, to see his family, down some pills with a fifth of vodka, work on a new album, hearing the pleasured sounds his girlfriend made when he sunk his teeth into her flesh, even fast food sounded appealing...

“I should have jacked that dude's smokes...”

I can start working on something to post tomorrow, that's not extremely long. So everyone can start moving this along at a quicker pace, if everyone made single posts instead of collabs. Like I said before it would probably make it easier to digest and self-edit.

Posted. (Woot. Hit the exact word limit too.) So many things I need to prepare for this week, because I have two weeks of pet sitting to do. But I'll likely bring my computer, so it won't effect anything but how bored I'll be next month. ;D

The Hybrid-Humans

Finally home, after my vacation. Yay.

@shivershiver Well I certainly appreciate that this group has some nice and chill people, but I can't guess I can't say the same...

I don't wish to step on anyone's toes for a mistake or two. I would want others to point out mistakes of my writing. (even when people tend to overcompensate.) But when it seems like/you are the only one that seems to be putting the minimal effort to do a second run through their writing. It can feel like you're wasting your time. I'm not saying that is necessarily the case but-

Now that I'm finally home to check, there are over 20 spelling/simple writing mistakes in that collab, which just shows a lack of proof reading as far as I am concerned. (and I'm mostly sure that it isn't because it's U.K spelling or what have you.)

There seems to be no editing in general for certain collabs, that's the most important part. If you make a mistake, and someone notices it and they aren't rude about it or anything, no harm, no foul. Just fix it. It shows some level of effort being made. Leaving mistakes in there, especially when pointed out doesn't show involvement. Just my own personal opinion.

But yes, I agree that there's too many collabs and not enough single posts. Might actually make the writing better as a result on top of it. I'll wait for others to post some single ones, and if anyone has an idea or decides to run into Dante. Let me know. :3

The Hybrid-Humans

@beyond visions I don't necessarily want the thing to end. I think the World building could easily be fixed because we have just barely begun. I do think that too many collabs in a role-play make it hard to follow for people not involved in them. And they can become very jumbled and confusing if they're not edited. Honestly the spell check is just personal immersion for me. If it's something easy to miss it wouldn't even bother me. I don't look for errors. If there's a missing comma, You won't hear a word from me.

If you as the GM personally don't know where to take your story from here then we can either brainstorm together or if you really don't feel that this can go anywhere I guess we can end it. I'm on vacation so like I said I'm not going to be posting a whole lot this week.

Music Appreciation Thread

@Gin Maybe post one and I'll tell ya what I think. XP

@Goliah Ah. Blue October. The band that wrote "Hate Me" then "Jump Rope". :P I enjoy most of their stuff. I'm on vacation, so my mind is switched off, or I'd recommend some similar vocalists. 7/10 Good.

Because I have no time. (and can't figure out how to link YouTube on my phone.) I sarcastically happily present the most boring song on earth.

Its 11 here. So in my time it's like 2 in the morning, so I'm pretty tired but I decided to check to see if anyone posted something before I went to bed. And I noticed a very very long collab. I think it may be just a touch too much for me to read at the moment. But I decided to browse it and the very first thing that caught my eye was in the very same paragraph aggression was spelled correctly and incorrectly in the very same sentence. One was missing an s, and I have a feeling it's probably not the only error from just a little that I saw. It's not structured the best, the stuff needs to be previewed so I can be spaced out so it doesn't look weird. But everyone's a critic. I'm going to bed I guess I'll try to read it tomorrow. Maybe it will be fixed by then. XP

My fan, it is my white noise machine. Can't sleep without it on.

@Burning Kitty

Sounds like my roommate's brother, or me in partial thanks to my roommate's brother. <.<
