@IAmTheIsland I have no idea who that is, but go right ahead. We still have some open spots.
I had the remnants of a tooth that shoulda been pilled out months ago pulled out today. It doesn't hurt as bad, 'cuz they didn't need to do nearly as much or long of an operation to fix it. Still hurts like a bisnatch tho'. Good news is I'll be taking the day off work tomorrow, so I should still be on track for getting the first IC post up this weekend.
Barring again that my PC doesn't suddenlky just croak one of these days due to aformentioned issues.
I started my PC uyp this morning and got a "CPU Fan ERrror detected" message. Unfortunately, I have no way of resolving that right now and I don't have a backup computer. So, if I suddenly don't log on for days in the very near future, my PC probably 'asploded. I'm in the process of trying to find a way to avoid this being an issue.
Obviously, if my PC goes 'poof' before this weekend - which I really hope it doesn't - the RP will be delayed until I can fix things. But hoping it won't come to that. But
Just a panic-notice from me: I started my PC uyp this morning and got a "CPU Fan ERrror detected" message. Unfortunately, I have no way of resolving that right now and I don't have a backup computer. So, if I suddenly don't log on for days in the very near future, my PC probably 'asploded. I'm in the process of trying to find a way to avoid this being an issue, but just in case I thought I'd let you all know. To be safe.
Alright, true believers, listen up! The deadline has passed. From here on, priority treatment of CS'es will end.
I'm going to now start workin' on the initial IC post and should hopefully have it done sometime this week. If not, it'll be up on this weekend for sure.
Waha Farfetch'd says: Fair maiden, thy champion hath besteth me in glirous battle. I henceforth offer thee my services as thy newest retainer and knight. Prithy thou should accpt mine oath of alleigance and vow of fealty, forsooth my leek shall serve thee and thee alone, what say you, fair amiden of the ironclad spirit? Will thou allow me the honor of serving thine will?
Oh, and @Shoopuf, @Crimson Flame would you mind putting your characters into hiders? To reduce the amount of scrolling needed to do? Would appreciate it. :)
@baraquiel Nice redo of the background for Lorelei. :)
It was really had to see what was going on around when you had your face stuck to the gorund. Still, Evelyn could manage to make out the dull thump-sound of her Sentret managing to land its attack against the charging Murder Menace. Daring to hope, she turned her head - still on the ground mind you - and looked in the direction of the noise. Half-expecting to feel the sensation of te charging Bug-type sweep over her head again, she was surprised to find...
... Nothing?
Wat?
In both a fit of slight yerror and equal amounts panic, the blonde girl quickly pushed herself off the ground and did her best to stumble into a standing position once more. By this time, Sentret had managed to bound on back to her side properly, and Growlithe was not far away now - only a few padfooted pitter-patters away. Phew, what a relief, right? Everyone was almost ba--
"Whu-- No! Joltik!!"
The little yellow bug, trying its best tor ace on back to its trainer, had frozen in place. A large, ominous shadow was looming over it, and as the spider-pokemon turned its tiny head to look back behind it, it let out a shrill, frightened mess of garbled chitter-squeaks as it lay on the pokemon-equivalent to The Grim Reaper, towering above it with massive scythe-arms and a face that said: "Hey there, I'm gonna slice you goood, son!'.
Of course, there was nothing that could be done. The Scyther was too close and too faat, Joltik was in too much of an ADD-addled panic and Evelyn's words and voice couldn't possibly come out quick enough, nor could her teenage brain process the ongoing situation fast or efficiently enough, to make any sort of call or command that would change the outcome of what was going on.
ANd was going on was Joltik eating a face-full of [Fury Cutter], letting out a pain chitter-squeak-yelp as it was sent flying away from the bigger bug-type by the strike. After all, Joltik was teeny tiny babbie, and this thing was not. This was, probably, also the first time oor little Joltik had ever experienced any real, substantial pain its fairly short and new life, and it didn't seem like it much cared for the experience, given the many pained, closely shut eyes on its tiny head.
Bouncing like a punted ball, Joltik comedically - but also horrifyingly - tumbled away from Scyhter. And like a good mother-hen, who was far too over-protective, Evelyn's brain didn't even think. On reflex, the blonde girl snatched the pokeball from her belt, aimed and it what a surprisingly accurate first try, recalled poor Joltik back into it's safety-sphere. Not even checking just how hurt it had actually become from the attack. Taking a hit like that and seeing the poor thing ragdoll along the ground was more than enogh to make Eve prioritize the creature's helath and safety.
C'mno, Eve! What the hella re you doign? Look what you did! Because you were so scared and worried about yourself, poor Joltik got hurt! What kind of Trainer are you? Shaspe up, danmnit! Get your shit together, woman!
Anger.
Not at the Scyther though, no. The big bug was probably just defending its territory, or trying to hunt for food. Eve and her pokemon were the ones trespassing and agitating it. She knew this. Of course she did. No, she wasn't angry at the Scyther, evne if it had just slashed ehr most beloved and favorite of babies.
No, she was angry at herself. Disappointed in herself. She'd let surprise and fear cause her to give in to base instincts, and as a result, she'd failed to protect her own partner. She couldn't accept that. She wouldn't accept that. If she was to become Evig's bright and perfect Star, the one who dazzled and shone brighter than the sun, then this sort of thing wasn't allowed. It couldn't be allowed. It wouldn't be allowed.
"Sentret, Growithe, to me!" "Sentret!" With a salute. Loud, affirmative bark.
Evelyn herself took a deep breaht. Momentarily closed her eyes, clutched her hands togther and steeled her resolve.
Then her eyes shot open. Yes, they still had flecks and specks of fear and apprehension in them, but there was something else there too. Determination. Resolve. Courage. The girl's face, previously a mess of panic, confusion and fear was now replaced with cool and steadfast model's stone mask, her posture more composed and deliberate, her breaths more measured. She looked, no, stared at the big bad bug ahead of her.
You may just be protecting yourself or your home. But you hurt my precious, precious partner. I'm not letting you off easy, bug-breath.
An epci mologue, ahd it not been for the fact that it had been entirely internal, and even if it had been said aloud, chances are the offending pokemon wouldn't have understood a single of word of it anyway.
"Sentret, Defense Curl! Growlithe, use Ember on that thing!"
Order were given, pokemon responded. Sentret bounced and rolled itself into a fuzzy ball, tightening its skin and fur, densing up its musculature to become sturdier. Growlithe let out an angry bark, likely upset that its first friend had been swatted aside like some bug (which it totally was) by a hysterial house-wife with a rolled-up newspaper. Openings it fanged maw, a barrage of glowing hot ember-shots burst forth, flying towards where Scyther had just sliced Joltik. Hopefully, Evelyn wasn't going to regret using fire inside a forest... And hopefully it'd hit, and prove more damaging than throwing a fuzzy bunny-ball at the giant bug.
Joltik was recalled to Pokeball after taking a hit from Scyther's Furt Cutter. Sentret and Growlithe reached Evelyn's side. Sentret used 'Defense Curl' to bulk up its defenses. Growlithe used' Ember' to try and hit Scyther for great vengeance.
@baraquiel Alrighty then. There's nothing inherently wrong with Lorelei and I have no reason not to accept her. The only thing I'd like - on a personal level - is a bit more details in her bakcground as to where and how she gained her Staff and other tech-based items. I'm assuming she created them or had them made in the image of anime/game characters' items or equipment, but some kind of reference to and explanation to as how, when and where she obtained it all would be nice.
Also, unless Lorelei intends to beat baddies over the head with her stick, you might want to consider adding at least one attack in her actives/passives. This isn't a requirement, just a suggestion. But if she can do jus fine by doig yoga and athlete-based stuff to kcik ass, then I guess she really doesn't need to worry about it.
Hey just letting those aren't on the Discord or don't really look at it that I had some food poisoning so I'm just recovering from that. Sorry for the delay.
Awww man, that blows! I hope you feel better soon. :(
