I bet everyone's enjoying their summer vacation now, huh? Well since it's slow, I'm going ahead and making good on that crossover RP idea. Right now I'm writing out the OP post, and trying my best to cut it down. Though the biggest issue at the moment is wondering what worlds to include the the RP. Anyone want to vouch out suggestions, maybe? I'll also happily let RP creators decide how their participant world is like in the RP. I'm seriously considering trying something new in the way the RP starts off as well... Anyway, for people interested, here's the current drafts on how the world works. Spot out anything that seems off: The Organization of the Patchwork Worlds, and the ‘Void’ A ‘Patchwork World’ refers to any individual world that makes up Limbo Universe. None of the known worlds originated there, but were rather transported there at veracious times in history. These separate worlds are chained together by a mysterious zone known as ‘The Void’. Each world is separated by a ‘Void’ that seems eternally covered in a mist. These voids form the borders of each world, and are a necessary pathway to traverse from one world to the next. To travel to a new world, one must simply walk in a straight line through it. After a period of moving, they will appear on the fringe of another world. There are two generally accepted rules about The Void: 1: Get out of The Void as quickly as possible. 2: Walk in a straight path at all costs. Most normal people avoid trying to traverse the void at all. But for others, traversing the void is a potentially risky, but necessary part of their lives. ‘Void Mapping’, the profession where people go travel through unexplored Void Paths, is regarded as the most dangerous profession of this age. Immortality and Limbo Universe When peoples of the Patchwork Worlds arrived they found themselves unable to age, and unable to die. People could get cut in half, or have their heads blown open, but still come back the next day just fine. ‘Dying’ however does have its costs. A person whom is mortally incapacitated will fully regenerate at the next sunrise. However, upon waking, they will realize that they no longer remember who they are. So, in a sense, death is still a serious issue. While you are guaranteed to live you could effectively lose everything that made you your own person. The Summoners, and the Great Spirits Summoners have the capacity to draw fourth and materialize the soul of a powerful being that most people refer to as a ‘Great Spirit’. In Limbo Universe, Great Spirits are used to settle disputes between groups, and as such, having the uncommon ability to summon them is highly desirable. In general, Great Spirits have a propensity to follow orders of the one whom summoned them. This is apparently due to the fact that disobedience brings fourth serious Migraine like symptoms to the Spirit. Once they have been summoned for the first time, they remain solely attached to their Summoner. So even if they, the Summoner ‘dies’ and loses their memory, their spirits will remain at their command. A Summoner must manually release a great spirit of their own will to set them free again. Alternatively, it has been found that a spirit can be set free if they are ‘obliterated’ in battle. The Clocktower of Sumeria, and The Wishing Star One day, a massive clock tower appeared in the patchwork world of Sumeria, and sent shock-waves across the universe. The towering clock tower came off as sinister and foreboding, and was built in a style very different from the world that it had invaded. No one knew where it came from, or why it was there. However one thing was immediately certain: the Clocktower was counting down to something. Exploration of the Clocktower’s interior and resulting research revealed that it was counting down to the appearance of the ‘Wishing Star’. An object that had the ability to grant any wish to the first person who got their hands upon it. These unbelievable claims would have profound effects on the future of Limbo Universe. The Plight of Two Ideals The ‘identity’ of a world has long been a very personal issue amongst people of Limbo Universe. Initially, the worlds believed that they should remain isolated, – a form of thought that streamed from having just survived the destruction of their home world. However, as time went on tensions eased and regular communication and trade started to take place between them. Eventually an idea that everyone should simply accept the idea of being part of Limbo Universe came about, and ushered in a whole new era of peace and trade. People began to freely move about the worlds, and a sense of normalcy amongst everyone began to form. However, with the appearance of the Clocktower of Sumeria, and the coming of the Wishing Star, the idea of restoring all of the worlds to their original state caused friction between the people who liked having the worlds together, and the people who wanted to restore their worlds. The two ideals “Restoration†and “Unification†would lead to an ongoing conflict between the two sides as they both sought to beat each other in the race to find the wishing star. One side seeks to forever separate the worlds by restoring them, and the other side wants to create a whole new world by eliminating the void and unifying everything. The (very incomplete) World Register: The Map and Positions of the Patchwork Worlds (Adjacent worlds denote a connecting ‘void path’ allowing for traversal between them) [Earth] [Sumeria] Earth – Your Homeland, destroyed by the coming of the apocalypse as defined in the holy book. It is the newest addition to the patchwork worlds, having existed for only 30 years. Sumeria – A world of magic and machines, it features a massive city, Nome, whose size rivals that of entire worlds in limbo universe. It’s central location on the Void Map made it an important trade center.   |

As for me, I'm just waiting on people to post on RPs before posting mine, and have a month of sembreak before I start my industrial training >_> So in the meantime, I'll be gaming like a bum if there are no progress in the RPs XD @Ugo: As for your Crossover RP, personally I like it. The Limbo Universe reminds me of DmC (newest Devil May Cry reboot, yeah I know as the game uses the term Limbo as well). Most of the details of the RP has reminded me of a lot of things, but yeah, it feels fresh, and not too alien from your typical stuff. Although I don't have anything to add at the moment, but I'm looking forward to the RP. I wonder what kind of version (present or future?) of Earth that will be added to the Limbo Universe though...   |

@Ugo - I'm certainly not enjoying anything, what with my unemployment and all. >.> I'm honestly not sure about your RP idea. I haven't given it a full read over, but I do like the idea of crossover stuff, especially when it involves things I like. I guess for me it depends on what other RP's are going to be crossing over (as in, whether or not I have any knowledge of any of them). If I were to join in, I don't know what RP I would suggest you include. Kenji's Free and Dream isn't really clearly defined, Pokemon: TLAL would strike me as very out of place (even in a Crossover), Gundam seems difficult to include due to size differences between mechs and people, maybe Spell Summoner or something. . . @Emiya - Same thing here. I'm just spending all my time playing games and trying to find a job while hoping that the RP's pick up again. I always hate this time of the year. Everyone is either prepping for major testing or out taking vacations to places. Really makes me wish I could afford to travel anywhere, even places in driving distance.    |

Yeah I'm pretty much in doing nothing land like you guys. First thing I wanted to do was rewire my computer and video-game till I get sick of it, but then I decided to give making a new RP a spin. I'm in the process of finalizing the OP post now. Gonna make this one with the same sort of obnoxious styling as my old RP's. Anyway, for those interested, it'll probably be finished up and posted pretty soon. I'll work hard to accommodate the people who give this RP a shot. I will have participants get their Characters Ok'd by me before they post them, this is primarily so they can be written to accommodate for the 'childhood arc' of sorts this RP is going to try! EDIT: Yay! It's out! EDIT2: Fixed that empty link! @ Emiya: Yeah, just getting this resolved might be a path to take. More or less the kingdom hearts route, but it works. And yeah I know F&D just got released. I guess if you hadn't noticed, I'm pretty much the master at releasing RPs at the worst time. Whether I like it or not. >_> @ Emiya: Thanks! But yeah, now that I look it over it's pretty much a hodgepodge of a bunch of stuff. Never touched Devil May Cry before though so I myself don't know how Limbo works there. Anyway I took account your question; The 'Earth' world for the RP is basically near future. I added a detailed lore entry for it too. @ Jon: Awww, well hopefully the RP's pick up again to gain back something to do. I personally know playing video games all days can get stale after a while. Anyway, off the top of my head, one of your real old RP's Midnight Terror might actually fit it. Really, any RP that has monsters or something to beat up will work. Probably my policy for adding worlds to the RP will be "if the character came from an unlisted world, add it". I really just want people think about what character they want to bring back more than anything else. |

@Ugo: Oh my, you released it already? @_@ Technically in DmC the Limbo is essentially an alternate dimension from our current real world dimension which has... demons as the denizens. I thought you are going wait for a while since the RPs (especially Free & Dream are kind of new) to well.. settle a bit. Judging from the current problems of RPs being stagnated and etc, I think we should think of a system to allow RPs to progress. Remember that side character system from "H" in his drafts of Crossover RP? Maybe we should try that... I actually tried something like that in The Eden (Lily), but yeah done it wrongly I guess. In terms of RP worlds... we can always use The Eden (lol finish that James/Lucia plot XDDD), but yeah that's up to Zero. Why not revisit FeaRed? @Jon: Traveling eh? As for me there will be an ACG event in city just about an hour drive away. Then again, I doubt I can attend it lol... |

@Jon: Just letting you know I won't be able to post until after Tuesday. I've had big exams this past week (and I really haven't been in a great mood either) and I take my last one then, so until then I won't be able to dedicate any time for posting. As for Knights, I'm kind of lost since in one post the battle hadn't started yet, then in the next post it was all of a sudden midway through the battle. I'm having a hard time finding a place to jump in. @All: Just so all of you who are creating rps in the future know, do not count on me to join any of then. Once the rps I'm in are finished I'm probably taking my flight from gendou. I won't join any new ones even while the ones I'm in now are still ongoing; these are the last one's I'll be participating in. I start college (university for those not from the US) in a couple months and my time will be needed there.

@ Jon- I'm planning on posting in Free and Dream this weekend now that my own big exam at the moment is over, I just want to talk to Fenris about something before posting. As for Pokemon, just waiting for you or someone else to post, and with Knights I don't have much for my character to do at the moment. But then again I haven't really read over the more recent posts there, so maybe I could squeeze something out? I'm not entirely sure though so don't count on it. >> @ Ugo- Nope, not enjoying summer vacation yet, I still have like 20-something days left to go since where I live they don't let out school until June. >> I might join your RP, not entirely sure since I did want to start an RP of my own but I might hold back on it now for a little bit. We'll see what happens. Like I said to Ugo, even though I did talk about releasing a new RP in my previous post here, on second thought I think I might hold it back just a little bit more, considering how there are quite a couple of new RP's at the moment. Although for the most part it's ready, so whenever the time is right I'll probably go ahead and post it. In the meantime I'll probably just get around to posting in the RP's I'm currently in  |

Ideas are slowly popping up. And I think I have found a story or rp idea that might not be boring in a sense, one that is adventurous, not apocalypse or war kind of rp in a sense. But what I had in mind, will probably take awhile to put together. Reason is that I won't be on much starting around next week due to my trip to the USA for a few days. Anyway, back to my idea. The setting is a world within a book. Rather when we read a novel, we are plunge into the story itself. But the way the story is written is not created by novelist or writer, the story is created by itself through another world, of which what happen there is shown through the book for the reader to read. Sorry if I am confusing you. Basically the rp would be situated in that world. There will be mythical creatures such as Pegasus, dragons, salamander and etc. Are there witches, wizards and such? Yes there will be such people but only few can be a sorcerer. Basically you can do pretty much what you want within that world. Update: Okay, my ideas just went further. The characters will be of this world who wish to escape reality. Escape from this boring world they live in. And within a certain book at a certain time of the year, they are plunge into the other world within the book. That is how far I have gotten in the idea. I might tell more once I figure it out.  |

@Toyumi - I plan to post in Pokemon now in a little bit, mostly out of boredom though, so don't feel obligated to make a post there right away. As for Free and Dream, I'm not really sure what we can really do. Kenji has disappeared again (as usual) and we're sort of stuck without him to some extent. If he's gone for too long then I guess we could always just gloss over everything and forget about that random character dude. Finally, I understand where you're coming from on Knights, but nothing of major importance has really happened besides me introducing an Eclipse Knight. It also hasn't really been all that long since everyone ran off into the fight. Of course, Knights has pretty much hit a complete dead-end at the moment since there has been even less activity in it than even UtPBS2 recently. @Ugo - Oh yeah, Midnight Terror. I really liked that RP. I'll look into your RP and then at Midnight Terror again to see if that might be a good fit. I don't often do pure monster RP's. @Haseo - I pretty much discussed your post and everything with you last night on chat. As I told you, I'm considering sort of following your idea. Maybe I'll just finish the RP's I'm running/part of and then try to start getting involved with RP's on another site. Like I said last night, considering how much free time I tend to have, I can certainly handle much higher RP activity. Anyway, that's just thoughts I'm considering. |

As always, things seem bleak for the traffic on the site. When everyone is talking about moving off already, it makes me feel like I'm being silly for hanging onto the site so stubbornly. I'm already three years into college working towards engineering computer code, though I still seem to manage to find time to show up here, ...usually. Anyway, thanks to the guys who are considering on joining. Honestly, I'm probably going to go ahead and get things going even at just 2 or 3 other players. I kind of realize the state of how things are. But on the bright side, having a small roster will probably make the (group adventure) rp go quite a bit more smoothly in my opinion. All of my characters are up to see as an example, but if anyone still seems confused or stuck then PM me with anything. @ Emiya - More or less repeating what I edited in before - but yes. I think probably the best way to go about things would be the kingdom hearts route. I can pretty easily put together world plots from RP's I was in since I usually had a plot or side plot planned when I was playing them. Probably the way I'll do the world plots is have the group show up at one point and help resolve a problem (like, for example, the issue with James' betrayal). I'll usually ask the involved parties if they're okay with the situation I set up. (Again with James as an example, I will probably fast forward it after a very unfortunate thing happens between him and Lucia). @ Toyumi - Ah, that's how my primary school worked before. Might I guess the district runs on a year round system, where summer is shorter? @ Jon: Well I do hope you consider in favor of joining. It's probably selfish of me to say, but I did kind of hope that my RP would just attract the people with at least a semi-reliable posting scedule ^^'. And, oh boy. It kind of does hurt a bit when I look back at my profile in Midnight Terror. I tried as hard as I could to give every single Tactic00l detail with my characters. The weapons I was thinking of giving the female character Scout where ridiculous! |

@Toyumi - Well I wouldn't end it here entirely. I would probably just stick to joining RP's as opposed to creating them here. If I ended up joining another RP site after Pokemon/UtPBS2/Knights/Free and Dream are done with, then I don't think I would have the time or energy to run new ones while also posting elsewhere. I already have 3 RP's to keep track of, and when all of them are moving at once I sometimes find it difficult to stay on top of them all. I guess it all depends on how active I would be elsewhere. Anyway, that's just me thinking at the moment. I intend to see Pokemon through at the very least, and UtPBS2 is always dependent on whether or not it stays alive long enough to reach the ending I have in mind. Knights is probably already on its way to dying out unfortunately, although I have no problem keeping it going. @Ugo - I feel kind of the same way as Toyumi does. Personally though, I only really have an interest in sticking with a forum style site. I don't do Facebook, and I don't really like the idea of joining some person's blog or fanfic site to RP. The likely cause for me talking about looking for other sites to RP on is probably due to the fact that I'm currently unemployed and therefore have far too much time on my hands. I feel like I want to do a lot more RP'ing, but I'm positive that once I get some kind of work then I won't have nearly as much desire to take part in a bunch of different active RP's. @Zen - Yes, hopefully you can get back in to it. We could always do with more RP'ers around. |

[Bump] Bumping this thread because wow I think it needs one between my new RP, Ugo's new RP, and with summer coming up which usually means more RP activity, hopefully. So how has everyone been in the past month without any posts here? As for me I'm almost done with my finals and have only one more to go! Also, to anyone that's in my RP, sorry if it seems a bit rushed with the battle thing I threw in there in my latest post, but I saw the opportunity to get a start on the main plot and I decided to take it before things changed course. The battle won't last too long, it's just a set up to lead into a part of the plot. [Previous Post] @ Jon- I'm probably going to post in Free and Dream either later today or tomorrow and do something to gloss over that character to get our part of the RP moving again. Also, I understand where you are coming from about wanting a higher volume of involvement in RP's and joining other sites, but does it mean you have to end your involvement in RP's on Gendou entirely? I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding what you said, but wouldn't being involved in RP's on multiple sites give you a higher involvement in RP's rather than leaving one site (Gendou in this case) for another? @ Ugo- Not so much a year-round schedule since we do have a summer break, it's just that it starts in June, and then we go back to school in September (Although I have to go back to school at the end of August since I'm starting college/university this upcoming school year). Personally I feel the same way about the site, mostly because I just can't get into another site to hang out on (Except for tumblr, although that's more of an anything goes site rather than having a dedicated forums section, etc.). Honestly, the site has it's waves of activity; people come and go, and yes there are times when it's dead but there are times where it's more active as well. Personally I just think that forum-based sites are dying down in general due to the rise of popularity in other sites where you can do the same sort of thing, but with more benefits. Tumblr is the only one I can think of as an example at the moment, people can have RP blogs but at the same time also have a fanfiction blog and fandom blog all tied under one user, making it easier to manage in addition to having a PM system for all accounts again all tied under one user in addition to having the ability to customize your blog however you want, much further than the extent you're able to customize your profile on Gendou. I do think Gendou and other forum sites do still serve a purpose for discussion on more specific topics than the wide variety that can come on sites like tumblr, and as such I'm also trying my best to stay on here as long as I'm able to do so. @ Zen- I miss you too! I understand the schedule thing for RPing, I'm worried about that myself when I go off to university at the end of August. >> |

@Toyumi - I want to apologize in advance for breaking the posting rule, but there just hasn't been anyone around in a while to keep things moving. The only thing I've really been keeping an eye on is with the way that you and Ugo are handling your RP's. Namely, the focus on small cast sizes of 4 or 5 people at most combined with an encouragement to post as often as you want, regardless of how many others have posted. It does seem like a better approach to RP's now that there aren't as many people around as there used to be (also because my own RP's with large cast sizes are either dying, dead, or on their way to being dead). Anyway, at the moment I'm mostly just hoping that Under the Pale Blue Sky 2 can struggle through another small drought in posts that it is currently going through. I'm also waiting on people in Pokemon. I've already talked to Shinji about his absence and he tells me that it's mainly because of school/exams, which is understandable. He says he is still in the RP though. Haseo just posted, so I'm mostly waiting on everyone else to get the gym battles out of the way and get started on the Team Vanguard event. I'm willing to make another post in Free and Dream, but it's obviously dead at this point. Kenji disappeared again and pretty much everyone except for me, Toyumi and Fenris left just after that, so there's no real way to keep it going. |

[Edit - Rule change] Two post rule does not apply now so long as you contribute to the thread with your post and don't make one/two word posts (Or anything similar). @ Jon- It's fine for breaking the 2 post rule, since I'm breaking it myself with this post haha. Actually I'm thinking about changing it to something else, since this thread doesn't get much activity anymore in the first place (I only implemented it because the thread got a ton of activity when I started it). As for what I'm not sure yet, but I'll edit this post with it if I think of something. Personally I'm hoping the small cast/post a lot thing will work well for my RP too, although Ugo's RP seems to be faring better with that rule as opposed to Forces of Nature (Then again FoN started recently, and I haven't posted there these past few days due to studying/taking my last final, I should be able to post much more often now that that's over). Also, I have to apologize for not posting in Pokemon lately either, to be honest I've only glanced over the more recent posts there because they were made during the week when I had the majority of my finals to take. I'll try to get a post in there tomorrow, I'm going to be busy later today and I made a priority to post in FoN first to keep it moving. I was really hoping that Free and Dream would survive, but I have to agree with you that it's basically dead. It seems like too many people depended on Kenji/other posters to keep going in the RP. I was going to try and revive it regarding the festival in my last post there, and encourage people who were tied up in other characters to drop that interaction and just come back into the RP at the festival. Although, that depends on how many people would be willing to stick with it, especially when it would revert back to what the original Free and Dream was like and not have much of a direction with its plot. |

@Jon and Toyumi - Is there any real reason for the sudden drop in Rp'ers? I know I've been really busy the past month with a warehouse sale at my company. What do you think about the rest? As for the 2 post rule, I guess it can be temporary abolished as there really is noone around. I just posted in both of your Rp's and sweat dropped at the fact that I'm the only one in a while to make a post. Jon, if you need any assistance with UTPBS, just let me know. In all honesty, I prefer a site like gendou compared to those found on other places for RP'ing as most of them are either dead or insanely active (aka live storyline posting) which I am unable to keep up with. I choose not to join in Free and Dream this time as when I first did I was still new and all I did was mess up everyone's plot. It does not look well over there... My Palladium Rp seemed to have bombed badly I I have absolutely no idea what to do next. I'm considering on working on an RP in the gaslight timeline (late 1800's) involving several characters dealing with the Cthulhu Mythos.   |

@ Roxas- Honestly I don't really know. A lot of people had exams these past few months, but most of those exams should be over by now. I think it's just that people are too busy with other aspects of their lives to have the time to RP, or maybe they just lost interest in it. Personally I've kind of lost interest in RPing in certain aspects, I don't post as often as I used to and I don't join as many as I used to (I only try to join RP's that really interest me nowadays). There were a few people who posted in FoN lately, Fenris and I posted on the 18th, Jon and I posted on the 15th; but yeah it is moving slow. Although I'd much rather have the RP move slowly then die out completely. The only RP around here that really seems to be hopping is Ugo's, it has almost 100 posts and was started a little over a month ago, which is impressive considering the slowness of many other RP's out there. Also, if you want some advice for making RP's, keep it simple and make something new and original, not something that's been done before. No offense, but Palladium reminded me way too much of Immortal Machina, so much so that it seemed like basically the same RP from what I remember of it. That and there were so many terms and such to read up on, if you have to introduce plot devices/characters then do it as the RP goes on and just add them to the opening post, rather than dropping everything into the RP all at once. Like what Ugo said having so much material in an RP right from the start will most likely scare people off from it (Personally I can say that I was turned off from the RP just because of the fact that there was so much material). @ Jon- Sorry for not posting in the Pokemon RP yet. Haseo's post was a lot of text to go through, and between that and moving it into the morning as well as into the gym battle has given me quite a bit to work on for my next post. I'm slowly making it there though. Also, sorry if you posted it already or whatnot, but what are the gym leader's Pokemon aside from the ones you had for your gym battle? (Or should I just use to same Pokemon for Adele's battle with the gym leader?) |

@Toyumi - Oh, right. I didn't send out the leader's team did I? He used Glaceon, Dewgong and Cryogonal during Victor's battle. So you can use a combination of them and Weavile, Abomasnow or Froslass. Don't worry about not being able to post. I know that no matter how slow things get, you, Fenris and Haseo are in it for the long run. Shinji has told me that he is busy with school stuff, but he is still in the RP, so I'm not concerned with him either. Also, remember that you don't have to go into heavy detail during the gym battle. The gym battles have become kind of an afterthought in the RP. They are starting to feel more like a chore now that distracts everyone from the interesting stuff with Vurtia and Team Vanguard. lol I'm not particularly sure what the draw is to Ugo's RP at the moment. The interactions between everyone's characters are what is currently driving my interest, although the plot is coming forward. Personally, I love the idea of using my old RP characters like Karin from 'Immortal Machina' and Vincent from 'Midnight Terror'. The dialog between RP member characters is interesting as well. You also have to keep in mind that a lot of people in the RP have been able to make a post every day or two, so the pace is pretty quick. From what I recall, didn't that Time Forgets RP kind of have the same pace going? I remember that one picking up a lot of posts in a short time as well. @K.M. - Don't worry about it. I understand what you're saying. Also no, I don't mind if you want to join the RP again and basically start over. Truth be told though, I'm not super sure as to how UtPBS2 is going to run. It has slowed down a lot in the past 2 months and it seems like everyone has suddenly lost interest. On the other hand, this kind of slump has happened to it in the past as well. @Roxas - This is the end of the school year for a lot of people as well as exam time for some post-secondary people. I would imagine that a lot of people in post-secondary and taking advantage of whatever summer break they get, while the people in high school are likely planning for vacations. As for UtPBS2, it isn't about needing assistance. I've handled RP's far busier and more character heavy than UtPBS. The main problem is just that people seem to have lost interest. I don't really blame them, I mean that event in the mountain base dragged on for quite a bit for example. There's also 2 new RP's on the board that contain the majority of the dedicated RP members here, so their time is now occupied by other stuff. This is a big reason why RP's around here rarely ever reach an ending. Starting an RP is the exciting part, because there is a lot of world building going on and characters interacting for the first time. When the RP gets settled in though, it tends to be less exciting. Then they see a new RP starting up again and jump to that to get the excitement again. That's just what I think though. It's the same kind of deal I go through with RPG's at my age. I absolutely love starting a new RPG, but once I get about 15 hours or so into the game, I start to get a little bored since the story is usually slumping and the game is focusing more on side quests and level grinding. So I look over and see a new RPG and start it up because it's exciting, which usually results in me not finishing the other one (I'm really bad for this recently). |

@ Jon- It wasn't really the gym battle that was the problem with making the post, it was more so that Haseo still had some events planned for the night in the RP and then after that to go into the morning, which included the gym battle. Well, either way it's done and out of the way now. XD Yeah, I guess the fast-paced posting is the drive for Ugo's RP. Personally I just couldn't find any "appropriate" characters that I wanted to recycle for the RP, which is why I didn't join (The ones I wanted to reuse didn't seem appropriate since I thought the RP had a bit more of a Sci-Fi setting to it, or at least that's the feeling I got from it, whereas the characters I would have wanted to reuse would have been on the fantasy spectrum of things). Also, sorry for kind of glossing over the night part of my post and your character offering Aria a place to stay in FoN. I didn't really want to control your character with my post since I didn't know if you had anything in mind, and the posting there seemed to have dragged a bit so I wanted to move it into the morning so everyone could be freed up to post again. Like I said there, if you had anything else in mind then feel free to go over it in your next post before moving your character into the morning. Oh, and also like I posted in FoN, I'll be away at my university orientation from the 1st to the 3rd of July (In case the Pokemon RP has a miraculous amount of posts during that time and I have to make a post there haha). |
