Character Development Thread--Discussion

@ladytanuki

On that same note, we haven't heard from Full Moon either. Should we also move on or should we wait a little longer?

Edit: WHY did this get page topper...

Done, was waiting to see if anyone wanted an opening from a space bus but it seems everyone else is good.

Stoned hippie without the stoned. Or the hippie. My AO3 Page, grab a chair and relax.

Full Moon seems to have been consistently slow in posting lately... let's give it a few more days.

Well, I did just have Halberd and Reshk arrive in that area... but I'd personally kind of prefer that Mina find the other two necromancers. Whatever you prefer really.

And this marks the second time when the fact that the Geppetto twins are in two stories of mine (that take place in different universes) comes into play, the first being in Dream II with the Misery Manor stuff. Poor Reshk is going to be so confused I bet... though maybe not really, as Carlotta didn't tell him that much about Solevaille that would differ from the other town Halberd is mentioning.

Come, my child of the devil. Your mother is calling you. Hear my call in Hell's grand hall, where all our dreams come true.

I'm not going to be able to post until tomorrow. Sorry if I'm holding anyone up.

@ ladytanuki: Yeah, I haven't heard from tehpillowstar either. Looks like they haven't been active on the site for nearly a month as far as I can tell. I'm okay with moving along.

FullMoon has been posting in other threads, so they're still around. Sent them a PM a few days ago, but haven't gotten a response yet.

Still a great "screw depression" song even after seven years.

I'll be getting around to some posts today, since I've got some spare time.

I sometimes wish my creative centers of my brain had an off switch; I've got a Blood Knight and a Black Knight as potential Adventure candidates. The former would be part of the initial disciplinary expedition (Her Establishing Character Moment would expain why), the later would be rather antagonistic.

Also, I feel I might end up with a moderately messed up setting in Aria. I've already started the process via some of the things Cynthia says and thinks (barring her psychotic OOC moment). Also, as time goes by, the more crappy Cynthia's life becomes. As of now...^note She's the youngest child of a destitute nobleman, initially blamed for her mom's death, joined a group of disenfranchised youths, got said youths killed by a psychopath, lost her arm and eye to said psychopath (she quickly got better), all of which occured before she turned ten, got sent to the academy to train her newfound powers, has the occasional blackout, got nicknamed "Pincushion" after students found out she has an impressive Healing Factor, and now is on the receiving end of "practical jokes" (read: things that could be classifiable as attempted homicide) due to being a "freak" and a "cheating loser".

Posts deployed, and now I shall wait.

@ladytanuki: Amanda isn't exactly one for adventuring either. She is practically a pushover in a fight and frequently relies on her automaton Moravia to help her do a lot of things. The only reason she joined the academy in the first place was to get a cushy military job with Moravia acting as her desk clerk.

That took longer than I intended. Sorry.

I really should have realized how much of a brick wall my writer’s block for Space Liner has been and I should have realized it much earlier, so general apologies to Wolf and KC for my delays.

I honestly don’t think I’m able to/have the motivation to post in Space Liner anymore. I’d also like to note that, in general, some of the currently running CD Ts have been going past their expiration date.

Note to self: Pick less edgy username next time.

I'm honestly ready to declare both Frontier and Dream over and launch a new thread, or at least start the process of doing so - but CDTs don't actually have an expiration date, and there's clearly still some activity in both of them, so.

Oi! Do not preemptively bury us!

Otherwise, we'll crawl/swim the necessary distance to enact our revenge!

Or just flood Adventure with bears. And sloths. That'd work too.

Anyway, I'm eagerly enthusiastic about starting my next Nana post; the world differences may get weird. Hopefully said enthusiasm survives jury duty...

It would be horrible to see you go, but if you really can't continue, you could just have a call come in summoning Joshua back and have him portal out urgently.

I can seriously understand being stuck for a way through.

Is anyone waiting on Phagora in the Fitness Room?

Forward, boys! For God's sake, forward!

To be fair we did say were gonna wrap up Frontier almost a year ago...and we're still not half way done, lol.

I'm rapidly drying up, so far as "things to move Frontier along" goes. Frankly I'd be happy to close my characters' arcs on "and they all headed off for dinner" and leave it with the assumption that they go off for a meal and an enjoyable night and then go home the next day as per their stated plan.

I don't feel any especial need to do an in-depth story arc for having a meal and rehashing tales of the day.

You're waiting on Kkutwar.

Kkutwar, try not to get too distracted this time around.

Fuck it. At this rate, I think someone should play "Roundabout" and we can finish the Frontier plotlines that won't die in Adventure.

Big Mood.

Now I want to do a tagline for a fake B-movie named The Thread That Would Not Die!

Man! So I follow the link to Yes, learn that Mutant Enemy was named for a line in their song You and I and learn that that song was based on Asimov's Foundation, series. Then I look up Roundabout by Yes and the Google related searches gives me the "To Be Continued" meme, wherein I learn about the meme - of which I had not been previously aware - and now, finally, I get the reference.

How about Weekend at Frontier? It seems much more fitting.

Note to self: Pick less edgy username next time.

That's a roundabout way of getting to it.

But... Nobody important in the group is dead... Yet.

Also, FEI: Junko's hair color is dependent on her current form. Her civilian and critical forms have white hair, her first form (which she's currently in) has red hair, her second form has blue hair, all others have black hair.

I suppose Weekend at Zuri's would have worked pretty well for the subplot my characters were in, though.

*looks at trope page* Heh, you're right, it would have. It fits perfectly, what with Zuri's death and her coming back as a ghost and trying to animate her body and stuff.

Also, I am finally growing impatient with Full Moon over in Dream II... what do guys in the Shinkyo group think, shall we just move on?

...Speaking of Dream II, I'm due for a post with Sinistrina, aren't I? (goes to post)

Come, my child of the devil. Your mother is calling you. Hear my call in Hell's grand hall, where all our dreams come true.

Yeah. Cheers, Will, for the ten-minute freakin' wikiwalk!

I have been educated in areas I hadn't imagined.

Yeah, let's. I don't want our group to go dead.

Okay, that means it's... Will's turn in Shinkyo (then Corvidae, then me, then you). And also it's your turn in the Snow Castle, in case you didn't know. I am about 95% sure that the archway Gliosem opened will lead to the Market District, unless you decide otherwise.

@Daird: Now it's your turn in the Fitness Center. I decided to post before you so that Phagora would have more to react to, as everyone else seemed to be ignoring her for some reason. I blame Will for what happened... 1000 kg is over a ton, and I think that's past Carlotta's limit. But hey, it'll at least give the group a chance to discover how Carlotta was made, so there's that.
