It now appears that I won't be joining Fair until Thursday, or possibly late tomorrow. It's very hard to write a focused post on 4-5 hours of sleep.

Well, writing a post didn't happen tonight and I really should get some sleep. I've got to write an essay tomorrow, so I guess Friday is the ETA now.

Finally posted, two days late. I would say it's obvious that I'm not going to be able to maintain my past output of one post every twenty-four hours (more like two or three a week) and certainly not at the same quality. But I make sure to look at least once a day even if I don't think I'll have enough energy to post, so if I miss anything, please let me know so that I don't hold things up.

Finally through with the RL-related issues that were keeping me from posting. Still might not actually join Fair until tomorrow, though, because it's pretty late and I'm not finished with my prep work anyway.

@CG: I'm assuming I have the option to dodge, or did the attack come from behind? (In any case, I'll only reply after Strix does).

Also, Happy Dussehra everybody.

Most prey animals have side-facing eyes, so Mijo would have struck from wherever the furry-thing's back would be. Edited for more clarity.

Sorry for not posting; I've been kinda braindead as well as wanting to give Strix some time to catch up. Unfortunately I'm not likely to be posting for a while longer due to Smash Bros.

The call of Metal (no, not those guys, these guys) must be answered, so I'll be out until tomorrow. Hopefully it won't even be noticeable, but it's on 'til 2:00 AM, and my stay-up-all-night abilities have gotten pretty terrible. So I might take a fair chunk to recover.

Also sorry for not posting. I've had to have my computer's battery replaced, so my thoughts have been on that for the past few days. Should be able to resume by this weekend.

Okay, I'm about ready to join. I'm extremely torn on where to send in my characters, though. Part of me wants to have them show up by Martian Dynamics, as it's completely open at present and would be a fairly familiar sort of environment for them. The other part of me thinks it would be a bad idea for exactly that reason.

Still not sure if I want to make a booth or not, too.

And joined. As usual, I am unhappy with the post, but such is life. I've decided to start with one character and add the other a little later, since I'm more interested in working on them as individuals than doing anything with their dynamic. Depending on how this goes I may add a third character later.

By the way, does anyone know what happened to Darkblood Carnagefang? It's been about a week since he posted.

His posting history says he's been in some other threads fairly consistently, and his last post was on Thursday. Shoot him a PM, I suppose.

I should have made this post earlier, but I was basically at a loss of what to do. I have a mostly free day in the morning (it's one a.m. where I am), so I can do something differently.

I didn't make this know, but I use singular they pronouns. Please don't reference me with "he" pronouns from now on

Sorry for the delays in posting. I had things I had to do on Wednesday, and then Thursdays are always busy for me.

Also, I should probably have clarified that Lihiri is not an actual goddess. Zinj Avatars are essentially very powerful magically-engineered elven mages, but the folks who created Lihiri happened to be utterly insane and declared her to be a goddess. I had thought that the fact that she's an obvious Cloud Cuckoolander would be sufficient to dispel any belief in her divinity. (Also, I was a bit taken aback by Adelphos' praise of Lihiri's looks - personally, I've always imagined her as looking a bit like Merrill as drawn by Adrian Alphona... maybe the initial description of her in the thread needs revising?)

There's a possibility he may have been flattering her. 'Slender' is a fairly positive term, which, combined with the big eyes, puts a youthful, almost virginal image in your head that colors the (otherwise neutral) descriptors that come afterward. 'Bony', 'gaunt', 'lanky', and 'angular' are more negative.

Honestly, I'd be very surprised if Elfhunter meant Adelphos to be particularly sincere. He doesn't strike me as a very honest individual in general.

(Though personally, I do think Merrill's plenty attractive).

@Strix Obscuro: What [up] and [up][up] said. He's just trying to get on her good side, with villainous over-politeness, just like with everybody else.

As a side note, I just looked up some pics of Merrill and honestly she's not bad looking (although that might just be a result Generic Cuteness), at least not to the point that Adelphos' compliment would seem dishonest, only exaggerated. That is, of course, unless this Adrian Alphona draws her differently.

Kind of surprising that nobody's posted in Rosa's conversation. Wondering if I should move her along

[up] Well, Lord Greyjoy, posted a joint reply to both our comments about secrecy, to which I replied. Inceptiond hasn't replied yet, and he doesn't come online on the weekends. So I guess Rosa can say something now, or you can wait for Greyjoy, your choice.
