I’ll need to set up an account for any type of instant messaging (haven’t done it in years). From what I see, AIM is the preferred program, so I’ll set up one of those.

Okay I just sent Priam my sheet and some notes on my background,

Finnester, favorite son of a rich family, forced to flee the city of Gem, but he still receives resources from home, now making his way though the River provinces, looking for a purpose, riding an impressive Marukani horse, and wielding a ancient plasma tongue repeater

I took six charms in combat/dodge and the rest in Miscellaneous: a ride and presence Excellency ,Mastery of Small Manners and Spirit-Detecting Glance  
let the games begin!

For those keeping track, the Fire Aspect just hit Dhorain with a Titan of the Streets + Poisoned Rat Moves Without Pride combo,

Just a note: I’ll be moving over the next few days, and probably won’t be online much, if at all. Will check back in Wednesday or so.

Sorry for being slow to get back with you in the IC thread, Priam! Juggling a few RL things right now. I’m going to try to make a post sometime today or tonight.

Quick question: Should I have the character’s take an action to look for the Bright Morning or should I assume they’ll find it eventually and move them to getting the hell outta there?

Sadness! I hope your life gets better and that you’ll at least stop in from time to time and read up…

willthekittensurvive and E-Sabbath: I apologize for being slow on getting your Prologues started. I’m being cursed by writer’s block, but I should be able to give it a good effort tonight. Bear with me?

Finally, if anyone else is reading this thread and is interested in joining the game, let me know!

Returned, I have.

So, I figure that Dhorain has kind of gone punch-drunk at this point, and isn’t thinking quite coherently enough to stop attacking Ilana. On the other hand, I’m also pretty sure that Dhorain trying to stagger upright and attack Ilana again will end the scene with him unconscious or worse. Can I just have him lay there for a minute and let whatever would happen next, happen next?

Just fair warning y’all: this weekend is my city’s LGBT Pride extravaganza and I work for a local LGBT not-for-profit… needless to say I may not have a lot of time to update. I’ll do my best, but don’t get too riled up if I can’t get back til Monday.

Okay. Ready. I have no idea how to respond to what you just posted. I can think of a couple things, but they could go totally left of what you planned. Do you want me to respond to that, or wait for the second post in the sequence?

Great! I’m in the story,

have a great pride (pride extravaganza? isn’t that bit like describing a giant as tall or calling the ocean wet?)  
I’m taking bellydancegirl out today, so I don’t think I will be posting my reply until Sunday

have fun and wish me luck

That’s cool. We aren’t having Pride 'til the weekend of October 30th here, which is either a brilliant move or an incredible annoyance, depending on who you ask.
