Topic: Buried Secrets Q&A
Subject: Oooh, I got it
And I think Shianna would get it too... the 'language' of her companion is one without words too after all.
Well, I'm going to wait on a reply to my PM before posting, but I hopefully will soon.

Topic: Mutants & Masterminds 2nd Ed.
Subject: If you wish...
I could try to resurrect the character I made in a fanfictual X-Men idea I had thought up however-many years ago. The setting is perfect for her, since in the fanfiction concept she is enrolled in Xavier's school
I'm not using her name right now, but this isn't because I'm trying to be mysterious; it's because it's been so long I've forgotten the name I gave her, if I gave her one...
On another note, if I do use her, I don't want anyone saying I'm just copying one (or fusing two, or whatever) of the mainstream characters' ability, because it IS different enough to not be the same, and in any case she is not that character 
Oh, here's another thought... since it seems most people do not have the reference material, would it be easier to make it more of a free-form style of game?

Topic: Who is your favorite superhero?
Subject: You know...
I've never truly had a favourite superhero... at least not one that I recall. The thing that I end up doing quite a bit whenever I see a comic or cartoon or anime is my weird imagination immediately comes up with my own hypothetical character to add into that world. Either that or alter one of the more minor characters to my own design.
That being said, if I had to pick, I'd probably pick Storm. Main reason: lightning and other electrical powers are among my favourite of the ones available, and she can fly after a fashion, which is another thing I like.
As for a villain, I suppose my favourite would be Mystique. Her ability isn't offensive, but it's one that is interesting to me. Not to mention she is very acrobatic, which I also like.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Bring it Down
Linnix's breath comes in short bursts, and she can feel the fatigue in her arms, no, her entire body. Dully, Linnix vaguely realizes that she is nearing her limit, but there is little she can do about it now. All that can be done is to press on; stopping now would not do any good, and would only aid in someone's demise. I won't let that happen. Linnix resolves. Yet, even as she thinks it, out of the corner of her eye she sees Xaris fall to the ground. No. You are not dead. I will not believe it! Linnix stubbornly thinks, But for you to survive, we need to do something!
"Talus! We need to bring down that orc!" Linnix calls over the din of the ongoing battle.
Linnix swivels on her heel, raising her bow as she turns. The arrow is drawn in a blur, with bowstring held just beyond the right edge of her lip. Without another word, she fires at Bolrikar. Alone, her arrow might not be able to fell the creature, but at least it would help.

Subject: Alright
Well, as far as I can tell, internet is up now... but I'm not completely sure; there's some craziness happening with the company, so I can't say I'm back for sure.
In any case, I'll still be busy unpacking and such too, so I probably won't be completely back with regards to that as well.
Well, later!

Topic: RDINN Feature Updates/ Suggestions/ Bugs
Subject: Well...
For user statuses, it'd probably be:
[blank] - assumed active
Busier - RL strikes again, and the person isn't as active as they normally are
On Hiatus - They are so busy that they probably don't have any opportunity to post in the near-future
Inactive - For those people that 'disappear'...
I think it'd be a good thing to have as well, because not everyone checks the coming/going threads, and it can be simply a reminder in the case where the person uses both
As for where the status would appear, obviously it would on their profile page, but it'd probably be a good idea to also put it on the side of the post where their mini-profile is, like under where it says the post count.

Topic: Flight of the Sylph
Subject: Flight of the Sylph
Well, this is a little bit in advance, but this weekend (29/30th of November) is when I'm going to be moving. It's not far, so getting to the new home isn't a problem, but I'm not sure how quickly internet will be set up, but hopefully it won't take longer than a week, although I really have no idea...
I'll be a little busy with packing and unpacking anyway in all likelihood, so my posting won't be as frequent as it has been for a while.
That said, I should be back here and there, if for brief periods, and I think most of the games I'm in can survive without me for a week or so 
Well, later!

Topic: Auguries of Destruction - The Linsemptus
Subject: Repurcussions
The Linsemptus Scout in front of Manalagna raises its right arm, and a sickening sound is heard, as though the plasmoid bone were breaking and reforming, as it morphs into a conical shape with jagged ridges around it. Sora's eyes widen, and he slashes at the Scout, but it ducks underneath the hasty blow, the drill-like appendage whirling rapidly. The Scout lunges forward, its arm impossibly stretching forward to impale Manalagna with its drill, the point breaking through the other side of Manalagna's body while the rest of it tears his heart to pieces. The Scout tears the cone from Manalagna's body, and he slumps to the ground, dead. (Failed the fortitude save)
Willow, who had resolved herself to try to push Manalagna out of the way, instead finds herself running at the Linsemptus Scout that had felled Manalagna. Taking a change in plan, she runs her sword through the torso of the Linsemptus Scout (-11hp Linsemptus Scout). The Scout gives a shrill as it dissipates into nothingness.
Righteous fury burns in the eyes of Armand, and turning to the one remaining enemy, Armand unleashes the spell. Pure white flames erupt around the remaining Scout, and it screeches as it is totally obliterated by the pure holy might. (-27 hp Linsemptus Scout, felled)
Rushing to Deunan's fallen body, Mitsuru reaches into her the pouch at her belt, and pulls out a clear, glittering diamond, far purer than anyone of the group has seen, with a perfect cut.
"Child of light, return from death's domain. Hear my voice, and rise again." Mitsuru intones, the diamond disappearing into an orb of light that infuses with Deunan's body, bathing it with a warm glow.
Repeating the process, Mitsuru does the same for Manalagna, using a similar diamond in order to do so. In the meantime, Xira sets her Death Scythe away, and casts a curative spell upon herself, the faint glow of the spell seemingly very peculiar, coming from the dark priestess.
Yet, as Mitsuru does the second raising, there is a visual distortion above the campfire, with a swirling of colour and light. It fades as quickly as it came, leaving the sylph woman hovering in the air.
"I came back as quickly as I could; I heard a faint scream." She says.
Mitsuru sharply looks over at the sylph, "How far away were you?"
"I was at the base of Mt. Venerro when I heard it." the sylph replies.
"We'd better move." Mitsuru quickly assesses, "If that soldier's scream travelled that far, we can assume that it has given away our position. This wasn't an assault squad; it was a patrol. We have two options: we can try to maintain our distance from Venerro, simply by traveling around the mountain, or we can retreat to Wanqir, re-equip, and set back out. I suggest retreating, for fairly evident reasons."
[Status so far]
Xira - Green
Yin - Green
Mist - Green
Farah - Green
Sora - Green
Dev - Green
Mitsuru - Green
Akihiko - Green
Willow - 68/72
Dusk - 52/57
Manalagna - 9/71
Armand - 72/72
Deunan - 7/67
((Both Deunan and Manalagna have lost one level as a result of their resurrection))

Topic: Some Secrets are Best Left Buried...
Subject: Time to Heal
Shianna lets out a deep breath. This combat had been finished. Yes, finished; she would not say 'won', because there is still much left to be sought, in both ways of knowledge and recovery.
"Umm, let me see your wounds." Shianna says hesitantly, looking to the others.
With Syana, Shianna carefully feels the wound, noting how Syana winces as she does so, indicating the wound's sensitivity. It is quite possible that a bone could have been fractured by the blow, and if that is the case, there is only one thing that can quickly aid it.
Softly, Shianna murmurs in a half prayer, half chant.
With the falling of leaves and the felling of the tree,
Let the wheel of time restore things to be.
By the roots the flower can return to life,
So too may this body heal from its strife.
During the first two lines, Shianna's hands are held clasping each other, but at the third, she spreads her hands apart, as though they are a flower in bloom. At the centre between her hands, a faintly glowing light can be seen. At the final line, Shianna cups the glow in her hands, before reversing her hands and lightly pushing the glow into Syana's body. Shianna bites her lip, as she feels the pain flow from Syana and, through her, into nothingness.
Similarly, Shianna examines both Isaac and Volkmar's wounds, and, noting how the amount of time it would take for them to heal is beyond the time that is available, Shianna repeats her spell for the two of them.
((Cure light wounds to Syana, Isaac and Volkmar))
Afterwards, Shianna looks to the sky. Her eyes tell her what she already feels, with the fading of the warmth and light of the sun. Rest would have to come soon, but where would they rest? Shianna closes her eyes, and feels her intuition and listens to what her senses tell her.
((Making an assumption here, but if I'm wrong, just message me and I'll edit))
No animals, save for the slight panting of Meera nearby. She cannot hear any of the creatures of the wood. If they choose to flee, then that confirmed that the forest isn't safe, for that is the direction of where many of the abominations came from.
Shianna opens her eyes, and she seems to look toward Neri more than the others, "The forest doesn't feel safe, but I... don't trust that town either." Shianna murmurs, but then again, since when did she ever trust cities or towns?
"Where do you think we should go? Should we turn back?" Shianna asks.

I think you can tell what the inspiration for this game's concept is now...
Perhaps a bit more disastrous than even Janelle would fear, but it does give an idea of how her weird delusion works, and why she's so tense about the time.

Topic: Auguries of Destruction - The Clock Tower
Subject: Very well then...
Returning to the front of the car, the conductor closes the folder with a smooth motion, holding it under her arm. Reaching the front, she turns back to face everyone.
"No one can escape Time; it exists everywhere," she says calmly, holding up the folder with the front held toward everyone as though in symbolization, covering half of her face with its width, "Yet, nowhere." She adds, turning the folder sideways, but at that distance, one would expect the folder's edge to hit her face. Yet, nothing of the sort happens, and then realization strikes. The folder has disappeared; not even its edge can be seen as she lowers her hand to her side. "You can't plug your ears and cover your eyes, or can you?"
"And so it begins." She finishes, stepping backwards, her form fading into nothingness as though it were engulfed by a shadow that doesn't exist.
After a moment of slightly shocked silence, the man in the back resumes typing. Something then becomes notably odd. No one has disembarked from the train from any of the cars ahead or behind, and indeed, there are no people on the platform, administrative or otherwise. Ticket tills are empty, no sounds of people can be heard from the station itself, although echoes of the people waiting in the other train cars can be heard. Suddenly, the man stops typing. He grunts, his eyes distant and his forehead wrinkled in concentration.
"Everyone, move!" He yells, slamming his notepad closed.
Alas, it is already 10:54 PM
Bong
The chime of the clock tower is unnaturally loud, reverberating in the air itself and sending chills down everyone's spine with its unsettling pitch. The noise doesn't even seem to come from the clock tower, almost from all directions, threatening to distort everyone's sense of direction. Everyone is standing, except for the woman in the wheelchair, from both the shout and the bell toll, but before even two steps can be made, the bell strikes again.
Bong
Everyone braces for the third chime, but rather than the bell tolling, something else occurs as well. Right when the bell chimes a third time, an explosion rocks the train. The front car that houses the train's engine has completely been destroyed, and bits of flaming, metal, and glass debris can be seen through the windows flying from the centre of the explosion. An analytical mind would think that the train's engine just exploded, but the mind drenched in adrenaline doesn't think of the cause, quickly setting the body to run. Next, the train car behind the engine car explodes with the fourth chime, for seemingly no reason at all.
Yet, as luck, or perhaps fate, would have it, although the explosions have offset the train's position, and are causing it to start moving backwards along the track, the path to the platform is still clear from this car. It takes no thinking, for it is simply instinct, as everyone runs onto the platform. Just in time as well, for by the time everyone is on the platform, the clock tower chimes for the seventh time, causing the car they just ran out of to burst in a ball of fire. Shields are quickly woven by those who can, but the damage caused by the flying metal and glass shrapnel is incredible, despite being outside of the core blast.
Guinevere's shield stops most of the debris from hitting her directly, offsetting it by enough of a fraction of an angle to avoid her, but one fairly large piece of glass breaks through and cuts deeply into her right bicep. The woman in the wheelchair, who seemingly would be incapable of dodging any of the debris, is unharmed, with her shield strong enough to even avert a piece of chair that might have struck her in the head otherwise. Eve twists and twirls, and successfully manages to avoid the brunt of the flying shards, but a metal edge, probably off of either the chair or the window, strikes her in the calf, causing her to trip onto the floor. An appropriate time for it to happen, however, for it causes her to avoid several hardwood javelins from the floor of the car, making them pass overhead. The man with the laptop also seems to be clumsy, stumbling in his step, and causing his laptop to slide across the floor. Yet, as he dives to retrieve it, his initial stumble proves to be his salvation, for at that moment, a fairly intact and flaming chair rockets over him, as several glass shards pass below him. Bas simply allows his wolfish instincts to take over, allowing him to avoid a considerable amount, but he also gets hit a number of times by various pieces of objects. Alone, they aren't much, but altogether it causes a fair amount of pain across his body. The most unfortunate, however, is the man beside the woman in the wheelchair, for although her shield is strong, it can only protect one person. He is knocked down by almost a volley of various pieces of wood, glass and metal.
By the time the clock tower has stopped chiming, which is in ten chimes for those who counted, none of the train cars remain. The group of six people are left on the platform with various pieces of the train left upon it. Yet, despite the proximity of the blasts, the platform itself has not sustained considerable damage, and is not aflame from the smoldering debris. The first ordeal is over, but now there are many unanswered questions, namely, what is to be done now?
[Damage Sustained]
-Guinevere has lost 3 Essence and has taken 5 points of damage (the 3 Essence were used in a physical damage cushion of 15 points, which has been spent)
-Carrie (the NPC in the wheelchair) has lost 5 Essence and has taken no damage (same use for Essence as Guinevere, but for 25 points, of which 20 points has been used up)
-Kenneth has taken no damage (He got incredibly lucky...)
-Eve has taken 5 points of damage
-Bas has taken 10 points of damage
-Carrie's husband (NPC) has taken 20 points of damage
Main note: No one is in danger of dying

Topic: You Filthy Little Thief!!!
Subject: *snaps fingers* Darn, caught!
Here's the perfect place... Ocyari thinks, finding the corner, Well, no... the perfect place would be underneath the sink, and then I could chat with the spiders... focus! Hide!
"On another note... where is Ocyari?"
Hehehe, you're not going to find me. Ocyari thinks, closing her eyes so that they can't reflect any possible light and give her away. She stays still, which is rather remarkable considering her rather upbeat nature.
"You can come out now, my little shadow." Ormander's voice came, and from the sound of it, directly toward her.
"Awww... caught!" Ocyari murmurs, sheepishly walking out of her hiding place.
"Pao has told me about the claim made by the vampires. I'm sure we'd better stay on good terms if we want to work that out, now don't we? Which doesn't mean I will forget that you stayed out against my will."
Ocyari winces slightly at the last part, No, I didn't think you would... She thinks, perhaps a bit sourly.
"But I know I can help! You know too!" Ocyari says defensively, her eyes wide and pleading, yet with a sense of stubbornness that easily says for her, 'and you know I'm going to anyway'.
Eventually, after all the cups of tea have been handed out, Ocyari sits, slowly sipping her tea, and making sure to blow on the top of it to cool it a bit first.
"Now, what do you think is wise? Do you want to meet this lord and find out if you could see him as your father? Or do you want to wait. He can't make you if you don't want to be at his side, you know."
Ocyari chuckles nervously, and averts her gaze, "I was trying not to think about it..."
Ocyari falls silent, and seemingly for once her eyes are distant and serious.
"In all honesty, I don't know." Ocyari says, a hint of fear in her voice, "I don't even know anything about vampires, and yet if I'm supposed to be a princess of vampires..."
Ocyari pales, and trembles slightly, "Am I even human?" She asks, her voice faint, "And if I am, does that mean I'll have to become a vampire in order to be their princess? What does it mean to be their princess anyway? Do I have things I have to do? What about manners and stuff? Will I have to learn all that? What if they don't like me?..."
((I'm pretty sure someone's going to say 'Calm down' right about now, if not, well, I think you get the idea of where Ocyari is going with her panic ))

Topic: You Filthy Little Thief!!!
Subject: I'm up! I'm up! Crazy dream huh?
[Slight backpost, since I'd like for Ocyari to wake up before Ormander comes]
With a big yawn, Ocyari stretches her arms, and groggily sits up.
"Now that..." Ocyari murmurs sleepily, "Was a crazy dream, and I've had many of those."
Jumping to her feet, Ocyari looks around, "Wait... this isn't my room."
Noticing Miran and the others in the chapel as well, Ocyari shakes her head, "Great, now you're going to tell me it wasn't a dream, right?"
"Oh well, I can think about it later." Ocyari decides, quickly beginning more stretches to warm up her body.
However, just as soon as she starts, she freezes, her ears twitching. Footsteps in the hall, and not just anyone's, there is only one person who has footsteps like that in the orphanage.
Urgently, Ocyari whispers to Miran, "I'm not here!" before rushing to hide behind anything that could conceal her small frame (including Miran or any of the others if nothing else will work).

Topic: Fields of Rune
Subject: To be old and young at a single time
Marie shakes her head, "No, I don't live here. I come into town once in a while simply to remember what it is like in a town; I usually stay in the forest, although I've been other places too."
Marie smiles mysteriously, "You said that you heard a similar song from a forest sprite, and we share similar voices, but I wonder... could it have been my voice then as well?"
But before Zau can respond, Marie laughs, "I'm sorry, that was a peculiar thing to say, wasn't it?"
Marie tilts her head at Zau, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I can hear your stomach growling." Marie giggles, "You should go eat."
Glancing up at the sun, which has begun its descent, Marie stands up, which sets her at about Zau's height, with Zau sitting. Gently, she takes Zau's hands, and sets her bowl of coins in them. "I don't really need these." She whispers.
Picking up her backpack, Marie turns back to Zau, "Well, if you'd like to see me later, I'll be in the forest." Her eyes glance toward the windows of the nearby houses, and in a soft, quieter tone, she adds, "Away from prying eyes."
"See you!" Marie waves, turning to go toward the town's entrance.

Subject: A pause in the song
The girl looks over, surprised. Normally no one would stop and make conversation, but this person is different.
"My name?" She asks, her voice tentative and gentle.
She pauses, her blue eyes distant, but it isn't a pause of hesitation. It is more like she is trying to remember something.
"Marie." The girl finally replies hesitantly, "Or, at least, I'm pretty sure it is."
Marie tilts her head, regarding Zau with her deep blue eyes, "You're different than the others." Marie thinks aloud, "Most of them wouldn't glance at me twice, yet here you are..."
"So, why are you here?" Marie asks, mirroring the curiosity within Zau with her own, "Did you need my help with something?"

Topic: Paranoia
Subject: Jen-R-KTCR-1 ready for duty
"A pleasant day indeed, for we have been given an important mission by Friend Computer, which shall be fulfilled by the deadline." Jen replies, her head bowed in both a notion of respect as well as to ensure that no eye contact is made. By the words alone, one might suspect sarcasm, but there is no trace of it in Jen's warm voice, and her lips form the smile of a waitress serving a customer, as she has done many times before.
Turning toward her teammates, she cheerfully adds, "I hold no questions pertaining to this mission, so let me know when you are ready to leave."
With that, Jen steps by the door, standing and waiting patiently. Her jumpsuit is well ironed, with almost no trace of wrinkles, save for the ones made during this day. Like her clothing, Jen's appearance is also well-kept, yet plain, with her dark brown hair cut short so as not to be a source of inefficiency. Her blue-green eyes are difficult to read, but she seems to emulate a vague sense of self-satisfaction that comes with one enjoying their job.
According to her file, Jen has been a waitress since her infrared status, and that job is also her cover job. Apart from that, there is nothing to note regarding her file.
