Whelp, I had originally planned on actually doing some stuff IRP today... Which kinda didn't really work out... So, I guess it would perhaps be pertinent to put this out in the open.

Tracer's R Ping Situation Until At Least This May

... It's kinda bleak. As you might have noticed, my availability to RP (or do anything not related to school, for that matter) has more or less gone off a cliff dive since school started up almost a month ago. And pretty much the only potentially light spot that I can see in it is during Spring Break.

To give you an idea of what I'm facing this spring, this is my schedule...

For one class. Out of 4.

So... Right now, I essentially have 3 options for how to progress:

  • A: Quit. Or otherwise go on indefinite hiatus. And have all of my running plot strands get resolved offscreen / through Word of God / via oneshots.
  • B: Keep on chugging when I can, and keep falling further and further behind the pace of the RP until at least May, where I *might* be able to catch up. With no guarantees.
  • C: Ask the rest of the playerbase for help in running plot strands until things clear up on my end. And acknowledge that while things may play out differently than how I originally wanted them to, they'll at least happen in some form and not bottleneck the broader narratives of this RP.

I really don't want to have to resign myself to one of the first two options, but I realize that I can't compel you to help me. Indeed, some of you are possibly in situations that may be comparable, or god forbid, worse than my own. But if you can provide any help, I would be extremely grateful for it.

As of the moment, this is everything that I can think of at this hour that is dangling:

OU Side

  • Finding all of the hilariously stranded goons in PEFE
    • Ideally tying the above into PEF Exp instead of being stuck off on my own in fanfic mode
  • Having Kat + RS tie the knot in the company of the former's tribe
  • Baigan GET.
  • Checking up on OU!Vektor every now and then.
  • Shadowing the rest of the group to wherever they may go narrative-wise. At least up until Unova-2.
    • A confidential pairing that will show up around the time of the former.

Rt AU

  • Hijinks with Cassandra and peons
  • Hijinks with Desert Resort mercenaries
    • Getting Psyche involved in AU!Sinnoh through political intrigue
  • Showing up for intervention with AU!DS, if we're still doing that.
    • The Weavile among the stranded goons at PEFE turning out to become the missing factor in Rt AU's divergence from PMD-B.
  • Viginettes with Tangent for Ben
  • Following AU!Vektor
  • Fighting the rest of the good fight of Rt AU
  • Guardianshipping with Silent

PMD-B

  • Continuing the story of RP!Tagg + RP!Tracer's misadventures and unseen boss fight on the way back home for last Halloween
  • Othersaga

If there's anything that you see that you would like to help out with, please let me know. I actually have the rough direction / chronology, and in some cases, actual scenes pre-made for some of these strands. And I am more than ready to provide them to you if you wish to take up the mantle.

Once again, thank you for humoring my wall of text, and whatever your decision is regarding my request, I respect it and thank you for being such a fun and supportive community to write stories with.

I'd be up for helping further Cassandra stuff if we're doing that.

Can't do that for a bit yet, unfortunately, because I made my parents worry about something and, as such, my forum time has been restricted for a while.

Pretty much, I won't be able to be on in the late afternoon or evening my time and have 1 hour I can use the forum in the time that I can do it until Friday. I'll try being on in the mid-afternoon, but can be on at a different time in the morning or afternoon if anyone needs me for anything.

R Cing's an option if you need my characters for something happening in the evening, but I'll still be making posts, so it probably won't be necessary.

Good to see you're alright Umbra.

-gives him a hug and a sammich-

So new character. Can't wait to see what he's like.

Also, could I get a Recap? I'm findin' it harder and harder to follow this RP.

There's the current events page on the wiki, but it's currently behind to sometime on Thursday, and unless someone else updates it, it will likely stay that way until this weekend when I'll try and get it updated again.

As for recent events, from what I remember...

Ratatoskr attacked the PEFE Group and may or may not have been defeated yet, Hook was recently defeated in Magic Mirror, and we're in Wonderland now, Victor beat the Olivine Gym, and some of Hook's old crew that joined are scheming.

Moving this here so more people see it.

YET ANOTHER PLAYER CHARACTER

Name: Nicodemus Cerebrum

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Appearance: Long turquoise hair, pink eyes, somewhat androgynous, purple clothes... Something like this.

Organizational ties: None.

Hometown: Lentimas Town, Unova.

Backstory: A budding young Psychic, Nico spent most of his early life in the small, arid town of Lentimas. However, his still-developing Psychic abilities made him a target for bullying, which led to incidents like being trapped in the Strange House. After receiving a Sigilyph egg for his eighth birthday, Nico decided to go on a Pokemon journey to prove his worth. Despite a crippling fear of Ghost types, he has done fairly well in his journey, and caught several Psychic types for his team.

Inn recent years, Nico has gotten wind of the activities of a group of Trainers known as the J-Team, and has been seeking them out in hopes they can help them "cope" with his "freakishness".

Mons:

Nazca (Starter)

  • Species: Sigilyph
  • Gender: Female
  • Ability: Magic Guard
  • Personality: Loyal, sisterly, fascinated with ancient civilizations

Bella

  • Species: Espeon
  • Gender: Female
  • Ability: Magic Bounce
  • Personality: Something of a scheming villainess. Has a fiery temper.

Klunk

  • Species: Exeggutor
  • Gender: Male
  • Ability: Chlorophyll
  • Personality: Dopey, dumb-muscle-ish. Has an evil sidekick relationship with Bella.

Lancelot

  • Species: Gallade
  • Gender: Male
  • Ability: Justified
  • Personality: Thieving, lecherous, callous... about as un-chivalrous as you can get.

Helen

  • Species: Mr. Mime
  • Gender: Female
  • Ability: Filter
  • Personality: Jolly, enthusiastic, somewhat fangirlish (Especially when it comes to Slouch)

Betelgeuse

  • Species: Starmie
  • Gender: None, masculine personality
  • Ability: Natural Cure
  • Personality: Protective, doesn't like seeing friends get hurt, low self-esteem

Questions, comments, concerns all appreciated. I'm also debating whether to introduce him soon-ish or wait until Unova-2, when I have less to juggle at once.

On Tracer's situation

Sorry to hear that, man, and I'm definitely willing to help you do almost any of those things with further discussion.

Sooo, it occurs to me that we haven't really been properly introduced.

I figure if I'm gonna be in this RP I should probably get to know y'all.

That's fine then. Also a question about movesets. Do the pokes have all thier level-up moves naturally or what?

Trainers' Pokemon in WAAPT can eventually learn all of their level up moveset, yeah. Though they can only use four of those moves per battle.

I don't know if that applies to wilds as well or not, but it rarely comes up.

And going for the rest of the day.

So... I think I'm gonna quit. I've avoided the RP side of WAAPT for the past few days because the meta had become entirely too much for me, and I was surprised at how easy it was.

I'll probably hang around Social (where else am I gonna put my fangirling?) but at least for now, I'm done with the RP. Maybe I'll rejoin at some point. I dunno.

I hope you do rejoin at some point, but for now, at least keep in touch, through Social or otherwise...

Crewe

...I see. Sorry if I contributed to anything that made you leave. Not gonna lie, I'm gonna miss seeing you IRP, but at least you'll still be in Social and the like. I do hope you rejoin at some point though.

Tracer

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I don't know if there's a whole lot I can help with.

@ goldmonkey Hey! Welcome to the RP. I'm Newfie. Currently on hiatus. If you have any questions, thoughts or concerns, ask away. Also here's your complementary sammich

-gives monkey a sammich-

@Crewe Sad to see you go. We'll have fun times in Social though.

@Tracer I'm in the same boat as you buddy. Best advice I can give you is to just wait it out, do your schoolwork and come back sometime later. I'm not scheduled to rejoin proper until April 19th AT THE LEAST. Honestly I'm havin' a hardtime followin' the RP nowadys. Hopefully the recent events page will keep on bein' updated.

Awww. Sorry to hear that.

Fear of Ghost types? He and Every will get along great. evil grin

That Mr. Mime is destined for bad things. :P

There's a Chandelure belonging to Vilkas that has the name Betelgeuse, if you are concerned about One Steve Limit.

Is there any protocol for using a legendary in the story or is that fair game?

It's best to ask for advice on their established personalities and roles... Most that aren't named Genesect have them.

I don't remember what Lugia is like though, aside from being wise and a protective dad to his son Pleo.

Best to not do anything involving Legendaries until you've gotten the ropes.

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?
