Thanks you all. I'll be all right. It just sucks. Shouldn't have happened.

I still have an at-home final and final project to do by Monday, but there's a post for both areas. Hopefully things will speed up from here.

Alright I posted a quick and short post in adventure. Sorry for being late.

Novia asked what the Spheroid Dropship is made of. There are classified materials that Moquoql leaves out of the list, as well as one material that Moquoql thinks to censor at the last moment. What would make a good, laconic Expospeak Gag for describing diamond? So far I've brainstormed "carbon arranged into its sturdiest molecular formation". I think that'll do, will it?

If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.

[up] @ Miss_Desperado:

I've posted about Jenny, and given a good enough In-Universe reason why she's been silent, although it's largely done for comedy here.

Sorry for leaving Jenny out and damaging the flow of time, but at least this can give some sort of explanation.

Don't know how this will affect the story, but it's a G-Rated Drug of sorts.

(typity-typity-typity) Whew, that was a long post...

[up] Pleasant surprise, Jenny drugging herself gave me an opportunity to set the stage for one of Soryn's character flaws — not really caring about how drugs compromise consent.

(Later): Exactly how close is the alternate Jenny to the archaeologist's spaceship? It's force-fielded, the archaeologist doesn't like anyone who lurks by her spaceship using it as cover, and she's likely to improvise a variant of Offhand Backhand with the remote control to the force field if the alternate Jenny is too close, and then sic her bodyguard on alternate Jenny if she remains too close.


@Masterofchaos

He added a private telepathic clarification to Mael, "I already knew her inclinations when she hired me, and as for myself, my own species does not hold much appeal to me. So you'd better not have been referring to mind control just now."

Did Mael "hear" this part?

@Pyxo: Once Varla has finished sending a designated portion of the heat she's channeling to the destination she specified, it's no longer under the spell's Convection, Schmonvection safety feature. Varla doesn't want the entire storm to heat up, she wants pockets of air with contrasting temperatures so that she can continue trying to turn the storm into a hurricane, so she's not going all-out with her arcing carpet-bombs.

@Will: You're due for Mist and Maelys as well, Soryn called out "Excuse me" to them.

@Miss, it's not really clear from your latest post, are Thunder and white geldings still separated by some distance from the defence ring? Can the elder moufretas widen the wedge between those two groups?

Spiral out, keep going.

@Merseyuser 1: You posted out of turn, it's supposed to be Will's turn to say what Mist and Maelys do, and you didn't give me a chance to have Soryn say "Don't look now, but your doppelganger looks kind of mad."

[up] Yeah, there's enough distance between them for a fire blast. Just make sure to describe what's on the immediate landscape that it's aimed at, the horses will react differently depending on whether the fire hits a bush, the gravel, the dinky stream of water, or one of them.

[up] Apology accepted. Assuming you don't post any further happenings in town square until it's your turn again, I think Will and I stand a pretty good chance of fixing this.

As long as I'm waiting for Will, I might as well ask — I don't disapprove of this, I just want to know — why did you leave doppelganger Jenny out of the planetary translation field, and can Soryn use his polyglot neural installation and writing by shifting pigment on his skin to get around it?

Now here's something that is problematic: On Roleplay.Character Development Thread, there's a folder labeled "Rules, Things to Keep in Mind, and Answers to some Questions." In that folder, under the bar "Specific Guidelines For Specific Concerns", Rule 5 says that the Fourth Wall in this thread is much more solid than other fourth walls and shouldn't be broken. Characters can lean on it, but that's as far as it goes.

[up] @ Miss_Desperado:

I had forgotten the part about a solid Fourth Wall. I took Reality Ensues a little bit too far. I've edited the fourth-wall bit out now.

Your idea sounds good about the polyglot neural installation. Better than me taking Reality Ensues a bit too far.

I'd forgotten I was writing for a shared Character Development Thread, not an Original Character for a Marvel Cinematic Universe series (of which this alternate Jenny partially is, in some way - she's a Badass Normal character). Jenny is actually from a Fan Fic idea of mine centered around original characters on a new Earth-(number here) within the MCU. She's from an idea that didn't quite work out - and it's being given a complete Continuity Reboot.

Basically, within the context of this RP, Jenny is a Reused Character Design, as such, although her backstory is different-ish for this RP, to consider it an Alternate Continuity version of her.

I had her appear in town, since her home universe has nothing supernatural etc., more street-level crime a la the Netflix series Jessica Jones and Iron Fist.

This Jenny is a Foil to the Jenny that's with Soryn. The Jenny that's with Soryn is partially The Ditz, this Jenny is a Badass Normal Girly Girl Hell-Bent for Leather who's intelligent, yet appears to be a jerkass, but isn't.

Hope this explains everything.

Whew, good, I'm glad that idea will work. The only other ideas I had were for Soryn to ask someone else to "translate" for him, and if that didn't work, as a last resort he'd attempt an "If I Wanted You Dead..." demonstration with a naughty rope spell. That last idea has too high a chance to backfire with witnesses jumping to the wrong conclusion.

By the way, Sarquoql is all closed up in his spacesuit right now. His face, draconic disguise or not, should not be visible.

@Will: I see you've posted. Are you having writer's block for Mist and Maelys, or did you forget to include them in your post? Soryn has made an attempt to get their attention and it's your turn to have them react.

It became increasingly difficult for me to find free time to post for CDT's and find motivation to write something when I actually have the free time. I'll bow out of the threads again for a while.
