Mostly took as long as I did because I was chattering with my pal V Phantom. Though I'll probably wait until at least two people react to Samson, as I don't like writing micro-posts.
"The Omniverse is the collection of all possibilities, and all possibilities must eventually come to pass."I just do whatever seems like a good idea at the time. Like, I started out doing really short ones? And then I went through a period where I always did super long ones? 'Cause I R Ped a lot on a DBZ site where your character got stronger based on how long your post was. A guy once wrote a 10k word post, and I think my record was probably 1800. I thought it was pretty good at the time, but I can't go back and check 'cause the site is dead. I mean, like, why write something that's 500 words when you can get across the same idea with 250? Sometimes you need to write a long post, but I don't see any problem with shorter ones. These days I kinda change the length based on how much my dude is doing. Like, if he's just gonna say hi to someone, maybe a paragraph is what I like to use. But if he's gonna do some introspection, I don't mind doing something longer.

I usually have trouble writing long in an RP (at least past the first post, which needs to establish the character clearly). Because there's often not as much to explain, you know? Everything's already been worked out by everyone else. I've always been of the mind that shorter posts are Boring, but Practical, anyway.
Anyway, now I'm stuck on how to break back in...

Gosh dang it guys, you put like three more pages while I was sleeping.
I'll just have Zeta and Cecil be in the audience chamber, with Cecil very tempted to go help Sheppard even though she's in the medical bay.
Oh and I'm in the same boat with HeroicSociopath I do whatever length I feel like writing for whatever I might be responding to. Though my posts tend to be on the longer side,.
"You said you had a dream... That dream... Make it come true! ... If anyone can, it's you!" - N (shortened) Oh, and I'm a girl.A bit of a ten-second spoiler (it'll be part of Celeste's explanation), but the Agency exists in the Void Between Worlds and as such has no concept of time.

Icon by Civvi the Civilian!Honestly, I was going for longer posts because I didn't want to spam the chat with short posts but if everyone else is okay with this, I'm going to follow suit.
Also finally got a break from work so now it's time for me to write up a post...after I read all that's happened.
Some people say I'm lazy. It's hard to disagree.I usually have trouble making longer posts. Short ones are my usual forte, but I try to embellish a bit to at least show a semblance of actual effort.
Also Setsuko is super excited about being in a cross-dimensional superhero squad.
What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?A long time ago, back when I first started RPing, I was part of a forum that had the frame of mind that longer, more in-depth posts = better posts. To this day I still prefer lengthy posts, but then again I'm also the sort that likes to have my characters have meaningful relationships with others, and it tends to mean more when the posts are longer since that usually means more character development happens.
Anyway, the closest approximation I can think of to the regeneration chambers are those things they use in hospitals for scans; the metal tubes that the patient lies in while the machines scan them. I forget the exact words for those, or if those are a thing that even exists.
Also, I get the feeling Samson is going to annoy the hell out of Celeste before all's said and done.
Welp, now I know Cecil would've been better for Sheppard. It would take at most ten to fifteen minutes to heal her. Also, they're either CAT scans or MRI scans. I forgot what they stand for, but I know they're for seeing the insides and skeleton. And brain activity.
Sarcasm detection machine has detected sarcasm!

"You said you had a dream... That dream... Make it come true! ... If anyone can, it's you!" - N (shortened) Oh, and I'm a girl.Probably going to start the presentation in my next post, as I want to keep things moving. Not sure what to do about Shepard, though. On one hand I don't want to leave Sparty too far behind, but at the same time I think having Shepard get healed immediately in my next post seems kind of fast.
Leaning towards having Celeste address the assembled group and then having her explain it to Shepard individually afterwards.

Ah, this posting speed reminds me of the old days in A Game of Gods. The canon characters are taking over, lol.
As usual, my timezone's gonna make this difficult. I'm gonna hold out for a few days and see how things roll out.
