Current I think watching fight scenes can help in general terms with writing combat, since it can give you an idea of flow and choreography.

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

It's only been a little while since the last IC post. Be patient, this RP is very much still alive.
Time stop is strictly not allowed in the RP.

Dio was accepted under the condition that a combination of his ego and unwillingness to let out the secret of his Stand would keep him from using it. Just thought I'd mention that.
I... think it should be easy for people to make an establishing post that leads into the whole magical crimson sky place, right? There's more than a few people who haven't gotten that far yet.
Chiharu froze for a moment, hearing a voice from behind her... shakily, she turned to face the source of the voice. There... Chiharu didn't entirely know her name. She had to be honest... but she recognized her upperclassmen, the pretty black-haired second year. It was... Yamamoto...? She didn't know much about her at all, beyond that she was apparently quite accomplished in class. Why had she decided to speak to her? Chiharu hadn't the slightest idea. Most of the time, since her penultimate year of elementary school, not many people spoke to her. Aside from her few friends... That, truthfully, was it.

"... A-ah, er... h-hello!" she said, awkwardly waving her hand before realizing that was quite possibly the most nonsensical response she could have had to the older girl's farewell. "A-ah, er, sorry, I... I meant... thank you? Er, and goodbye, of course, um... ah-hah..."

Chiharu rubbed the back of her head awkwardly, letting out a nervous laugh. She was sounding like some kind of weirdo, wasn't she? She supposed that was what she got for trying to talk casually with a stranger, it was something else on the long list of things that she simply couldn't handle. But... she'd... said something, right? Didn't that...

Count for...

...

...

The world around her, in that moment, changed.

The sky was red. The moon hung high in it. A woman at a table with a deck of cards. The world she had been in moments before and somehow given way to this. Chiharu stood before the table, and the woman in it, as she made her offer. Her hands shook. Her eyes were wide. Words caught in her throat. What was this? How had this happened? Where was this?

Her questions died before they could leave her mouth, and she stood in dumbfounded silence.

At some point during her moment of fear and incomprehension, she found her eyes drifting to the table.

... Her card. What... what did that mean? Was... was this a fortune teller? Chiharu felt as if she had stumbled into some wide-awake dream, a delusion brought on by who knew what kind of situation. And yet... part of her felt somehow at ease, as if something here was right. As if it was what she was meant to be doing.

One of Chiharu's hands slowly curled into a fist. Her hand moved out, fingers gripping one of the cards as she pulled it out, raising it. That's right... if this was some wide awake delusion, then maybe just once... maybe, since it wasn't real...

She could be strong.

The word on the card was |Strength|.
I don't think anyone was suggesting less than a paragraph. I know I don't like seeing posts less than a paragraph unless it's maybe once or twice from someone who was pressed for time and wanted to keep a scene moving before it flopped and died.

"Short" here still means paragraph or more. It's not free, after all.
My objection is that it's not necessary and that it makes it very difficult for anyone else, in case another person wants to interact, to jump in. There's no need to tie three different people's responses together in one post.

It's not an isolated scene, either. They're all responding independently of one another.

I might not like collab posts, but I can say what they're most suited for is isolated sequences with low numbers of characters. I'm not saying that Forneus should be able to interject between each comment. But this scene is not isolated and three people independently reacting to something does not seem suited to a collaborative post.
Again, I'm going to assert as a co-GM that this is still a scene others can participate in and it's not isolated enough for a collab, and it's also not really necessary.
I don't honestly see the need for it in this case. They're all responding independently, I assume, and that's if GM action doesn't force some edits to metagame content.
I... kind of have to take issue with that as well. I admit my attention hasn't been fully on Roanapur, but that part seemed like it was neither hinted in the bio and also seems to be metagame-heavy.
Okay, I understand and I hope things work out.
