Here now, fully recapped. Well actually I was here a bit over an hour ago, but I knew I would have to get up and leave soon if I wanted to get dinner at a certain place before they closed. Though I did some typing on a post and saved it in a document so I won't have as long to type up one now. Just going to check on some things, then I'll get to finishing that up.
@Locoman: The city's food stocks don't magically restock in real time like that; they only restock at the start of every day. (With the exception of the universe buffet, but that currently only exists on break days.) That's why the first discussion post even specifically mentions the possibility of people hoarding food being a problem.

You are reading this.Well, with that small post I should get going for tonight. I just kept it to simple responses because not many people have posted since my last post yet, and I wanted to be sure they'd get a chance to before things really moved along at all.
Tomorrow's shift is the latest ending one of the whole week, so unless I get sent home early I don't expect to be on until over an hour later than when I was on tonight.
You are reading this.@Ominae: Don't take this personally, but — to be frank — I think you should pay more attention to where your character is and what is going on around him, as well as put more thought into what's he saying. Sometimes you have Gon behaving rather oddly, and speaking cryptically or downright incoherently.
Let's take this part from your latest post:
Sorry, but it makes for awkward roleplaying when every other of my posts ends up being about Garrett boggling at Gon's erratic behavior — because that's the only choice if neither me, nor my player character, cannot comprehend what yours is talking about.

Before anyone asks me what Cole's post means, the answer is "I have no idea." He just started saying things and I went around and wrote them down. Best I can figure is that Compassion started talking, and whatever it means is going to be incomprehensible to our mere mortal brains. (Or the alternative I presented in the post, which is that Cole's powers are just going wonky because, you know, seriously messed up wounds.)
Edit: Figured it out! It's not anything huge, he's just talking about everyone fighting each other. Like a cryptic little fuck

Here now, fully recapped. Ended up stuck at work about an extra 18 minutes; thankfully I wasn't actually working, I just had to wait while the manager in charge ran out for something before I could be checked out. (And overall I got paid for over half an hour of standing around doing nothing because we got really slow at the end of the shift, so really I can't complain about that.)
I'd certainly like to post soon, but I'm not in the greatest of moods at the moment so it might take me some time to really get into typing. I'm going to check on some things and probably watch some videos while I try to muster up the desire to type.
@Korodzik: I do believe English is not Ominae's first language, but even so I can confirm he's been exactly like this for multiple years without any sign of improving. I don't want to be punishing anyone or kicking them out just because their writing is bad, but if his posts remain incomprehensible I'll have to give serious thought about possibly taking some action.
Because it's not entirely fair to the people trying to play with Ominae if they can't make heads or tails of what his posts mean.
EDIT: Well, I'm gonna get going for tonight. Tomorrow my shift is supposed to end an hour earlier, and hopefully I won't have to stay later so I should be on a bit more than an hour earlier if all goes right. Hopefully by then I'll be feeling better, though there is some kind of drama going on with one of my friend's personal life that has me down.

- No. I meant that Gon is musing on the need on getting a working radio that can be used to communicate with the said channel given out by the two D Js.
Perhaps I could've rephrased that better since I'm having a hard time in saying that the two need some kind of comm device, but I don't want to repeat the word "radio" again to avoid the mixup like you mentioned. I'll use the word "transceiver" instead in future posts since that term is meant for devices that are used for communication because "radio" means something like an ordinary AM/FM radio, which is what comes to mind. That ought to work.
And thanks for calling me out to help me correct myself. Hate it when that happens.
@Firock
- Actually English is my first language believe it or not despite living in British Hong Kong before I returned back to the Philippines. Though I don't know if I had another language as my first one before I left to live in HK in the 80s. Like I said above, I may need to reword it better to remove ambiguity to avoid another incident, which I did a while ago.
Anyway, I'm heading out. I'll head here as soon as I can tomorrow morning to see if there's any further questions/stuff that needs to be asked or mentioned since it's really, really late.

Here now, fully recapped. I got off work a little early, though I had to take care of some stuff once I got home that took a bit; I also still need to start a load of laundry, which I'd like to get going before I really settle in to type a post, so it might be a bit until I have one up. I'm also going to check on some things before that.
@Ominae: No offense, but yes that is rather surprising for me to hear. For someone who is supposedly inherently familiar with English, your writing is pretty poor. I know there's at least one player in this very RP who does not have English as their first language, and still type better than you.
Do you know you're somewhat infamous around the subforum for your typing being hard to understand and sometimes downright nonsensical?
@Politics: I'm with Korodzik here people. In the interest of not starting any fights and having to get moderators involved, and also keeping the thread from getting too derailed or pessimistic, please leave the politics out.
@Short posts: Short posts don't bother me. What it was specifically from the Honest Trailer post was,
Also yes the shortest post was one of Cybersbe's, and it wasn't even, "by marriage" it was just, "marriage". And yes, it did annoy me.
But it didn't annoy me because it was short; it annoyed me because it was just Twilight Sparkle's dialogue and nothing else.

- I am. And I'm not surprised about it.
Outside of this, I know people who are also like that. At least in my time in university in Vancouver.
But that doesn't mean that I'm not going to be like that. I blame stuff that's happening in the house, but I know that things have settled down.
I'm taking this as a lesson not to rush things and make confusing posts.

Oh strange, I remember it being just one word. I guess I was mistaken.
(It's still just dialogue and nothing else though.)
EDIT: Well, I better get going for tonight. For better or worse everything was just generally quiet with my life tonight. Tomorrow's shift is a bit longer than tonight's was, but still ends at the same time, so I should be getting online around the same time or hopefully a bit earlier.

I'm a little bit confused over the flower pot :V Wander was holding the sapling the whole time, but PK just handed a flower pot to him - was the sapling out of its pot and Plague Knight just gave him something to hold it in?
Currently writing something. Currently procrastinating.
