I really appreciate it, Pika. :)

That was really good, DS! Frederick is adorable, and I loved the Ludwig cameo. [lol]

About how long do you plan on the story being?

I'm not really sure how long it'll be.

Well, it's very good so far, either way. smile

Okay, so here's the deal. On Saturday, I'm leaving on vacation for a little over two weeks (I'll be back on July 16). That's quite a long time, and I'll probably be able to post not at all (if I can, it will be from my 3DS, and I'm not even sure if I'm bringing that).

That means there are a few things that need to be done before I leave.

My characters will need to be RC'd. It's probably easiest if DS controls Wolf. Katie can be RC'd by Mezzo, or Every. I'll leave Steven and Dana to Crewe (if she's around). I don't know what they're doing, but they're probably in Kanto. Have some fun being mysterious. tongue

As for my mons, I haven't been using them a lot, lately. This is mostly because I've been feeling a little burned out. I fully intend for this break to be a break, and they'll return when I'm back. But while I'm gone, if anyone wants to do anything with them, they're welcome to, as long as there is no harm done to them (physical, mental, or emotional), or their status quo doesn't change too much (Nova can't find out about Cayenne's crush, for example) and they're kept in-line with their usual characterization (Ludwig can't speak beyond quacking, Sassafras lisps and has no social skills, etc.).

As for arc movement, I sense that's going to be tricky. I expect that the PMD arc will probably be done by the time I'm back. I'll leave a synopsis of my plans for the rest of the Fire Emblem arc with Umbra, so that he can run it while I'm gone. As for what is happening afterwards, I haven't heard any plans, but I request that whatever it is, the Conquest arc doesn't start until I get back. Please and thank you.

Oh, and one more thing. Since I anticipate there will be a lot of pages to go through when I get back, can someone please make a recap of each day's events, and send them all to me when I get back? I don't want to be back for three days and still be catching up. tongue Let me know if you're willing to help me with that.

Okay, I think that's about it! Thanks, everyone!

I can try to do the recap thing for you, if no one else does so. Though I guess we could collaborate on that. Oh, and we were planning on going to Kanjoh again after PMD, with Return to the AU possibly being with it, we're not sure on that yet.

#6336: Jun 28th 2012 at 12:31:13 PM

Okay, Wolf! I remembered you said sometime earlier that you would be going on vacation soon, so I was planning on asking if you wanted me to RC RP!Wolf anyways. Not that I have any real idea of what to do with him, though.

BadWolf21 Since: May, 2010
#6337: Jun 28th 2012 at 1:04:12 PM

Thanks!

DS: He'd mostly just do what you're doing, anyway. tongue

Fire away the planning P Ms, Wolf. :3

Sadly, I have seen too little of your regular mons to RC them. (That, or I wasn't paying attention. >_>) But, I look forward to knowing them better when you get back.

After not being updated for almost two months, the Recap page has been updated. It's not much of an update though, since I don't know all the details of all the subplots happening withing PMD A&B.

So here's where you come in. You edit the details of the subplot(or plots)you are involved in into the recap page. You can also PM the details of the subplot(s) to me, and I'll add them in, but doing it yourself is probably easier. After all, there's no specific person who does the Recap page updates.

Going to bed now, and I won't be back in the morning (probably).

All of my characters have been discussed.

Umbra knows the Fire Emblem details.

Straw, you're keeping a log of recaps for me, yes?

Okay, that's everything. -big hugs- See you all in a couple weeks!

-is both dead tired from being dragged everywhere for his 18th birthday... And possibly from heat exhaustion. Will be back hopefully by tomorrow... And he's REALLY sorry for being gone.-

Give me a mind, I will play with it. A character, I will roleplay it. Not so different.

Good news, everyone! I brought my 3DS on vacation! Clearly, this is impractical for actually RP'ing, but I wanted to say hello, and that we reached our first destination safely. :)

As much as it pains me to say this, but alas, I have life to consider over the next 10-12 months. As such, I am just putting it out there that my last full arc in the main RP as a player, barring IRL catastrophe - personal or otherwise, will either be RtAU or Unova-2 depending on whether one, both, or none of the two seem like they will be finishable by next May.

Now, to answer a few questions:

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, You're REALLY Leaving, Tracer?

Yes. I will be "leaving" in the sense that I won't be active in the main RP after one of the above two arcs. A cameo for a couple of days if RL permits, but RtAU or Unova-2 will be the last wild ride that I enjoy in the RP in full. I do intend to continue to make use of the testing thread for oneshots and the like at my convenience. Folks expecting a daily posting habit (in BBCode, no less) will be sorely disappointed.

Wait, But WHY?

Okay, to start with, the drama in the chats since around October was not the main impetus for this. Even if it did help me to take a step back from the RP and evaluate its position relative to the rest of my life... Rather, the main reason why I will be leaving by the time my Junior year ends is more meta.

As much as I've enjoyed my time here as a WAAPTer and being able to interact with your characters and sculpt our wonderful (if slightly insane) rendition of the Pokeverse... I need to grow up eventually. I need to find an internship/job, complete my upper-division courses, start considering whether or not I truly want to be 'forever alone'... You know, starting to do all those unglamorous-sounding but ultimately necessary and rewarding things that we're all going to have to do at some point or another as legal adults.

... What Are You Going To Do Between Now And Then, Tracer?

I have three main groups of things that describe my plans between now and departure:

Things That I WILL Achieve Barring Abrupt Cardiac Arrest Or The Like Between Now And Next May

  • PMD-R
    • Return of PEFeDOS
    • Going to Angela with Tagg with a presently undecided team
      • Nadia going to Bluescale during the above.
      • Visiting other parts of the PMD-verses during the above with a side-team
    • RP!Tracer being bodyswapped with Sun King!Archeops and eventually being reverted back
    • Political intrigue with Umbra and Silent in Alto Mare
    • Concluding Hatchet's Quest in PMD-B
    • Toothless turning back to a doll

  • Kanjoh-2 (Which May or May Not Be Concurrent With RtAU)
    • Revisiting Celadon
      • Encountering a Doppelganger trainer there a small number of times
    • Starter reveal with Tagg
    • Setup for RtAU (or activity if concurrent)
    • Baigan GET
    • Installation of the Nadia Security System at house
    • Kat x Rising Star on Route 9
    • Francis will return to team

  • Other / Concurrent
    • Audrey will return from Sinnoh along with Wulfric, Flare, Yomi, and Susano.
    • Cecil will evolve
    • Bottles will evolve
    • Andre will evolve
      • He will also finally be candid about his real personality and not the front that he uses most of the time
    • Eir backstory reveal
    • Other!Tracer will run into Other!Tangent in AUnova
      • Will flee to Unova-B
      • Will recruit ??? and ??? there
      • Will discover a "lost shrine" for the Taos along with team in a certain Arceus-forsaken desert that will be reclaimed.
      • Will go to OU
      • Will get into a small number of confrontations with RP!Tracer
      • Will eventually be persuaded to stop running from fate / destiny and go home.

Things That I MAY Achieve If The Opportunity Presents Itself In A Way I Like Between Now And Next May. And INTEND To Achieve Via Testing Forum At Some Point If That Is Not Possible And IF I Feel Like It

  • Nadia meeting Lake's family in Route 34
  • Cecil developing an aversion to his Dark-Type abilities... And ultimately coming to terms with it and reaccepting them.
  • Shipping with Luke: Nadia x Lake. And Francis x Chord.
  • Shipping with Umbra: SPOILERS
  • Other!Tracer meeting Other!Luke
  • Eir evolving
  • Moogle evolving
  • Returning Pepper to Luke if he so desires
  • Revisiting DST with Teala
  • Recruiting further mons that I write about for PEFE

Things That I Would LIKE To Achieve, But Have No Idea Whether Or Not Will Be POSSIBLE To Achieve

  • TWEWY Week (or at least in terms of being directly involved in it)
  • Any arc post-RtAU, since it is presently unclear when it will be able to end.
  • Tangent's 'villainous PEFE' arc.
  • Participating in or otherwise spectating some sort of Tournament

Hey Tracer, I Like [X]. Can I Keep Him/Her/It On My Team After You Leave?

The tentative answer is NO, unless you can tell me why you want [X] and I feel as if your reason is valid (and justifies not being able to do much with them in one-shots not set in the past) and am confident in your abilities to put words in [X]'s mouth that feel natural after some extensive talking and debriefing.

I will be more open to loaning characters out to be RCed... If I get a timeframe for getting them back to (offscreen) RP!Tracer alive and non-crippled/maimed/psychologically traumatized. (Note that RP!Tracer and his mons will be assumed to be alive offscreen under all reasonable circumstances. Don't try and explicitly kill him off, I will find a way to make him and his mons somehow survive if need be.)

Hey Tracer, I Don't Really Like Or Otherwise See Myself Writing For [Y] In The Foreseeable Future. Can I Give Him/Her/It To You?

Once again, the tentative answer is NO. Unless they have a bond with one of my characters that justifies their proximity and I like them, then I will consider giving them a space aboard my proverbial bus back offscreen.

Will You Still Be Following Us After You Leave, Tracer?

Given the pull of this place, I likely will. Though I will do so at my own pacing.

... Will We Be Able To Stay In Contact After You Leave, Tracer?

Yes, but I anticipate on not going into the chatrooms quite as frequently. And when I do, it will likely be for PEFE-related stuff (seeing as that's easier to procrastinate on). If you'd like to keep in more regular contact, I am contactable over Pidgin via tracerbullet@tropi.us

Thank you for understanding. I look forward to seeing what happens in these last few sagas that I'm around for. And I hope that you'll continue to tell many more even after I'm gone.

Aww, I'll miss you, Tracer...

But on the subject of 3DSes, five guesses who got one! So yeah, I need would like some F Cs. Mine is 2449-5765-1828 if you didn't get it already.

So, um, I'm grounded again ^_^' . Those who've been in the chats should probably know this already, but I thought those who haven't been ought to know too. I'm able to intermittently stay in the chats, but can't reliably post, so I am on a hiatus till further notice. Umbra seems to be doing fine with my characters, but if he doesn't want to RC them, they're up for RCing. I imagine he'll at least keep Elysia, though ;)
