I think I'll sign up for this one. Hopefully this time I won't be so swamped that I don't even get my first post out.

First, I'mma read through and catch up. I forget, is there a specific character limit, or is it just a good idea to only have one or two characters?

Still working on Good Style, so bear with me.

One or two is optimal; you don't want to spread yourself too thin.

Alrighty, two it is!

I've managed to write posts balancing ten characters, two or three paragraphs each, for a week or two at a time, but it makes me drained and stressed and usually ends with an intervention.

Well, I'm sitting at the airport on my way to Bangkok. I'll see if I can make posts from my hotel room when I get there (hopefully they have Wi-fi there).

EDIT: They do grin

Working on a post right now, but fair warning, Desendelle: your character just reminded Blossom of her second husband. Don't expect her — or Crescent Raptor, her current husband, who helped her kill the bastard — to be very friendly from now on. In their eyes, thanks to a mixture of bad experiences and Yoth cultural mores, he's already passed the Moral Event Horizon. (For the record, Amu and Okul are significantly less jumpy about the matter.)

Well, there's not much to do - he/it (can't figure out whether a ghost possessing a suit of armour has a gender) really can't tell. It's basic PPC regulations.

Studying for one last test vigorously today, so I won't be available until later.

Also, Killer Clowns, I did have a bit with Tucker in my last post, so he hasn't been silent on the matter. I don't know if it's intentional, but your latest post makes me think that you weren't aware of that.

[up][up]Not much has really happened. (And I've kind of been waiting on you for a while.)

[up]Alright, I'll have a look-see. EDIT: Small edit made.

EDIT: Oh, and me, Gault, and Tera still continue scheming for the Mansion casual thread, — we're thinking to start it after Christmas, mind, but we'll have it ready by then. To keep the focus on conversations, we'll have the rooms pretty much all mapped out and described at the start, with a map in the OP. Sound good? Questions, comments, concerns?

Actually, the issue is more that I'd feel uncomfortable having my characters interact with Des (even with the fact that, from their perspective, he's just spewing gibberish).

I like the sound of the Mansion idea.

[up]Then... avoid it. Gault was suggesting that somebody should coax Blossom away from the area before she completely snaps into a ball of rage and/or PTSD — Krajn and/or Harry could help with that.

I want Cain to say *something* but quite honestly I have no idea what to say! Which contributes to my lack of posting. I will have Haruka say something though.

Yeah, I wasn't feeling particularly erudite this weekend; plus, I had to help my mom clean house. I'll start working on a post sometime today.

It isn't anything anyone else is doing. I'm just losing enthusiasm: the plot isn't very interesting and I'm tired of the way I keep having to reintegrate my characters.

Yeah, I posted. I didn't really say much, but it should be something interesting for Gault to post and maybe pick up the Lair stuff again. Maybe, I guess.

Does someone need a self-confidence boost?

It's privately amusing to me that al-Faddil isn't going to make his way to the lair because he's probably one of the best-equipped to understand what's going on and talk to the lich. And he'd find it fascinating on an academic level.

What's up with everyone not posting today? Is everyone worried about the End of the World that's going to happen today? The apocalypse should never hold folks up. :P
