Fat Gandalf's Bar & Lounge (OOC Chat) - Chapter Ten

I was trying to say that Hercules has done a great thing getting closer to the Broo, building ties between them and the Wild Cards. The post from you, sir, was just the icing on a very will made cake.

Woo! Thanks, you! I have four more posts to do for Mario, Toph, Ylva, and Eadric (the latter I have a little special surprise for). Cap'n not only writes terrifically and with both mind and heart, but he's not afraid to take his character places (like getting closer to the folks in Broadsword as more than one Wild Card is seriously interested in). =)

By "doesn't have much time" I mean that I'm trying to get you all to the bridge sooner rather than later. Feel free to have Mario reply and do as he would; just keep in mind I'm trying to get everyone back together. =)

And thanks again for the positive comments you left on my earlier post with Cap'n! Icing on the cake indeed! =)
 
One of the fun things about playing around with time is... at least in a Play-by-Post game like ours... I have time to... "fine tune" a scene as it comes to me. I'm full of feeling, coffee, and I've no distractions now save for a sleeping kitty here.

Life. Let me post now. =)
 
Ack!

That moment when I complete a brand-new post... only to realize that I already replied to the post I thought I hadn't replied to! DERP!

I could have spent that time replying to a post I hadn't yet replied to. Oh well! Organization has never been a strong-point in anyone with ADD/ADHD that I've met! =)

HEYA GANG!

Notice: In an effort to jumpstart Broadsword, move the story along, and close out this chapter, I think i'm going to just make one big post and put everybody on the bridge.

The only alternative I can think of is making more posts and waiting for everyone to reply to them.

So if I post things like, "Ylva is given Buffett's guitar," and "Eadric Is hard to buy the room before they leave," that's why.

The only exception to this is Toph's Post which I want out there for the enjoyment's sake and get it out of my head.

So unless you guys come in here and request otherwise, that's what my next post is going to be about - getting both of my games going again.

Thoughts?
 
The next post I have up for is for Psychie, but that'll have to wait - I've got to get to bed! =)
 
To be fair, this next post with Toph is a bit more of a fun challenge to write. If I want to hit the right notes, I have to be careful with how I go about it.

But yeah. First? Sleep. G'night!

Time to play with time a little now - for the fun's sake, of course! =)
 
Well, a bit of good news. I should be able to go home in about two to three days. It all depends on my chest tube when it comes out. If my lung starts to collapse, I get to leave with a take home tube to keep me breathing. If It stays inflated, I'm out of here in probably 2 days. I am so happy. I've been in the hospital for over 3 weeks so far, and this is going to be such a great change.

Heya Gang! Does anyone plan on posting in Broadsword? Or would you all rather I moved the story forward? I can go either path (or a third of your recommendation?) but I'm really in the mood to hear what you have to say! =)

Hope you're having a good day!

Honor and fun,
Purr =)
 
For once, I actually posted what I meant to post. Here, that is - I still owe y'all a post in Sharseya...
 
Last minute touches and all that. Don't want any moments of, "Oh, I meant to do this!"

Sounds like a system I might be interested in, actually. Also: Mutant animals - in two sentences, what's possible, and what isn't? What should, and shouldn't I think of when reading that?

And no worries, feels like my life needs more, not less, rping at the moment. Not too much, but I'll be able to handle one or two games, I believe.

Also: Was in the mood for a bit of Broadsword-writing - it's been a while. Figured I'd just put it here in case someone wants to give it a read.
For once, there is peace. Just the illusion, of course - out there, people are still struggling, and dying. Such is the world, for now, until it changes for the better. But here... there's none of that for a little while.



Just the quiet humming of the engines that never ceases. The other, less distinct sounds that kept her awake at first and now barely raise to her attention. And above her the night sky beyond spotless glass, untouched by mankind's and the war's pollution. A million stars, trying - and failing - to light up the darkness in-between. A pointless struggle, just like so much, these days - until the point where it, hopefully, all comes together and matters. Just like a countless cuts eventually turn a piece of wood into a figurine.



Not that she'd know anything much about woodcraft. Always been one to do the thinking, until that didn't save the world.



But what does, these days... the Broadsword, or nothing. No pressure, eh? No pressure at all.



Funny how that works. When you walk across the ocean floor, or conquer the sky in a Logan for the first time... When you visit ruined cities of old, or glimpse the future, returned to the present... You dream to change the world for the better.



And then, when you're finally in a position to do so, and not just act as if... Then sometimes, all you wish is to be elsewhere instead. To be home in relative safety, without the weight of millions of lives on your shoulders. Without the stars starting down at you as if to witness mankind's last desperate breaths.



Not today. Never if she can help it, though the odds say she won't. But line up enough unlikely events in a row, and the impossible doesn't seem too unlikely anymore at all.



And heck, unlikely pretty much sums up her life. The guitar next to her is proof of that. An instrument from one who traveled the stars, returned to earth from the actual future. And now in her hand as she gently picks up its weight. One hand pushes a strand of blonde her back behind her ear - the ponytail never holds them all at bay. Then, she starts to play.



A well-familiar melody from easier days, yet hardly following a steady rhythm. Mankind is flawed, and she's out of practice. No chance to tackle the former, no way to change the latter other than to hang on in there. Slowly but surely, her fingers remember what the mind almost thought forgotten.



She's missed that. To just fight her own expectations, and not the entire world. Like back then, in Stockholm - a lifetime ago. Just different. There are the sounds of the future, quietly chiming in. The promise that change might be possible, underway. And a million stars, watching, perhaps in wait for a miracle this universe has never seen. Not the butchered song, obviously, or the endless doubts, but the deeds of those around her. Defy the odds a million times, and even out there, with all the options, there won't be a second stubborn struggle quite like mankind's.

Good Sil, I thought you said you'd lost touch with Ylva? With a post like that, it's like you never stopped playing her! Well done!
 
Thanks! Figured I'd give it a go, and found out that it way easier than expected to get some writing done. Guess it was mostly daunting to get started again. I've had way more trouble after shorter breaks earlier. Maybe because due to our break, there wasn't anything happening I needed to get back into.

Anyhow, guess that means that I do have a character I'd like to throw back into the action - count me in when you plan ahead. With Kaerri Kaerri ,that'd be at least two, unless I've made such a bad impression over the years that she bows out. And maybe Captain Hesperus Captain Hesperus - that'd make an interesting trio if Cap'n feels like that version of the Broadsword might be enjoyable.

Somehow... I highly doubt this! But, as always, my lady can speak for herself. =)
 
Kaerri Kaerri Silanon Silanon If for whatever reason Cap'n says "no" here, would the two of you be willing to continue Broadsword?
 
Definitely - not the preferred option, but one I'd be thrilled about nonetheless!
 
Silanon Silanon , despite your best efforts (ha!), you have made the opposite of a bad impression!

Count me in. ^D^
