You did not have to look back that far.

You really didn't even have to look back at all: just say "Cloud has come near X/ Has been with X/ Stumbles onto X"

Having Cloud just be at a certain place and just know exactly what's going on with absolutely zero effort given to explaining how he got to that point is bad roleplaying.

That's how many pages I missed. I need to be on top of things anyway.

Wouldn't him just popping up conveniently in the middle of a thing and grinding it to a halt to go LOL WATS GOING ON also be bad roleplaying? I know it always annoys the shit out of me at any rate.

That's what you did, though.

My problem is that you didn't even bother to acknowledge it, or explain it. Not even a tongue-in-cheek "-HWOAH CLOUD-"

You just acted like you were always a part of the scene and was interacting all the way, as if you had invisible posts none of us could see.

It's jarring and irritating.

Edited my post to clarify what I meant. It's the other thing that bothers me. It's acceptible for newbies or something, but any other time I always feel lazy not even bothering to keep up in-narrative with things when logically he would have been there.

Sorry anyway.

Saying that logic is an acceptable substitute for character writing, or explaining things to the audience, is a poor excuse, and it doesn't make the habit any less irritating.

That wasn't what I was trying to say. I meant that dropping him in to grind things to a halt just feels like I'm shoehorning myself into stuff. I understand what you're saying. I'll work on it.

Nurgle is not fun guy.

That'd be Khorne.

Also-

Tzeentch is a dickwad to everyone.

Even himself.

His plans go against his own plans.

mireille would probably be the kind of "randomizer" character who pulls out TREASURE to do various shit

Depends on what game we're going with.

Going off SSB logic (which can apply to a lot of fighting games when I think about it), Cloud would be a high-risk-high-reward sort of deal. Crazy fast, has both physical and magic attacks — the latter of which would all be very close range, forcing him into melee either way — that do substantial damage, but he would also be incredibly light and easy to knock away. So unless you knew what the hell you were doing once you got in close, you'd get slaughtered.
