Topic: The Inconceivable Crusaders
Subject: Do what you will
It was vaguely amusing, how by her word one of her companions thought she was forbidding them from continuing. Apparently they hadn't completely gotten used to her way of speech or how she thought.
"Do what you will; I've said my thoughts." Jevaf says with only trace emotion in her voice, as she heads back toward the cave entrance.
This was surely among the more foolish missions that she had ever bothered herself with attempting; even if they had entered the cave and caught the two trading parties, they still held a key advantage that would've made most people back down. Even though they were still at a disadvantage with the mistake of the thief thinking they were the 'buyers', he had now gained a second key advantage, and that was something Jevaf was not going to bother taking risks with. True, there might have been something called 'pride' that made it vaguely feel sour, but why should she care? A small smile tugs at the ends of Jevaf's lips; she didn't, for it was only one mission among many that have been done, and are yet to be done.
"The hands of time cannot be turned back." Jevaf murmurs, setting it all aside in her mind.
To her, this mission was already over. Uncompleted, true, however, given the circumstances, aborting it was only logical.

Subject: Well...
"That certainly seems to be our only true option." Linnix says, "Otherwise they'll have merged into a single strong force. Think of it like a wave; if you can't break it before it forms, you can't do much to oppose it when it is whole."
Taking a look back at the bridge they had just crossed, Linnix winces, "And y'know... that bridge looks pretty sturdy to me. It did take a strong magical blast to destroy the other one after all, and I don't think we have that sort of capability among any of us, at least not now."
"So then, the question is, which one of the camps do we want to try to attack?" Linnix asks, thinking aloud.

Subject: How?
"Is this guise really that see-through? Perhaps I should've just abandoned it years ago." Sen murmurs contemplatively.
Sen sighs, sitting cross-legged, "So, before we go, tell me... how exactly you saw through this appearance."
Do I even have any means to hide now? Sen wonders, the anxiety beginning to gnaw at the back of her mind. If he can see through this, can They?

Topic: The Day They Woke Up on the Wrong Side of Reality
Subject: Keep a hold on your emotions
((You might want to rethink how you're going to do exp about this, Sibelius; now there is no available healing to the group, so further encounters will be substantially more difficult than they were the first time around))
Galen's eyes, previously clouded over before, quickly glance over to assess the situation.
"Don't panic." Galen says simply, as he sets down his little load of rusted weapons and withdraws the vial of potion from his pant pocket, "Panicking is among the worst things to do in any situation; it consumes time, mental effort, and typically fails to do anything beneficial."
Passing the potion to Jeremy, Galen falls silent, as he considers the group's situation.
"We had best avoid further encounters if at all possible." Galen finally murmurs.

Subject: Tch
((I think you should still say whether or not Jevaf's attacks hit the man or not, rather than just that you already covered her actions))
Thought so. It was too convenient that it was a dead end. Jevaf thinks, before retrieving and sheathing her daggers and rapier.
"Pursuit at this point would be too reckless on our part." Jevaf says aloud, "We've done all we can here."

Topic: .Hack//LIFE
Subject: Kiku
"Hey," he said simply, "why do you look so somber? You look out of place in a game like this."
Looking up, a little bit startled, Twin Lightning (the sister) replies, "Oh! You're here. Sorry, I have a game of go going with my brother on a window overlaying this one, so didn't quite notice. I have no idea which one of us is winning at this point, although I suspect he is, since he is much better at go than I am."
Getting up, Twin Lightning stretches, "Well, I suppose it'd be better to head to the @home. Come on, I'll show you where it is."
Walking down the path from the Chaos Gate, Twin Lightning takes Kimono and Kusardo along somewhat of a back-alley among the houses, before stopping at the back of one which seems identical to the others.
"I prefer to use the back door myself, because I kind of consider it my own house and people won't really see us either this way." Rei says in explanation, before opening a rice-paper door and inviting Kimono and Kusardo inside.
The inside of the house is like that of the exterior in design, seemingly made as a traditional Asian home. Sitting on one of the rice mats in what could be the living room is Kiku. She appears the same as she did before, however, as she waves to Kimono and Kusardo, you can't help but notice that the motion seems slightly unusual. It isn't the same as the computer generated wave that characters usually have, for it is imperfect, and tentative in a way with the speed of her hand.
"There you are!" Kiku says, "I'm glad you two are OK; I really had no way of knowing, unless I saw you."
"I did tell you they were fine." Twin Lightning says.
"I know, but still, being told isn't enough; you still have to see, right?" Kiku asks, giving a small, sly smile.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Ahem... that might've fit Linnix before, but certainly not any more
He believes it. Linnix thinks sadly, as the young boy displays his confidence in the clan he grew up with, And if one believes something, with all of their heart, they won't change easily, but they can still change.
Seeing the group as falling in with the enemy, whatever that may be to him, the boy begins to flee, and Linnix hears the footsteps as though she were miles away.
No... no choice.
"I'm sorry." Linnix says softly as she draws back her bow, and lets the arrow fly.
Yet, even as the boy falls to the ground, a tear likewise falls from Linnix's eye. All she could hope was that the arrow was true, and death came swiftly.
“You…did the right thing,” the drow woman managed to say at last to Linnix.. “Dylan is right we should go. There is nothing more we can learn here, and nothing more we can do.”
"Yes..." Linnix murmurs, agreeing, although she looks a bit blankly toward the fallen boy.
It almost felt as though it was her own heart she just shot.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Well...
Hmm, if Aelistae's already in there, I'd better move fast to cover her. Linnix thinks.
Bringing her dagger to bare yet again, Linnix moves quickly to make short work of the tent's side, slashing open a flap which could easily be a minor doorway. What was on the other side? An ogre with an equally large drum and mallet to match? Or what else could it be? Well, standing and doing nothing but thinking isn't going to help; Linnix takes a breath and steps through her makeshift entrance, sheathing her dagger as she does so, so she may use her bow if needed.

Topic: .Hack//LIFE
Subject: Calling
It has been a day since Maera's strike, and the realized potential of the twin's epitaph. Still, there are no indications of anything large and out of the ordinary within 'The World', on either the boards or the official site, so it would seem Twin Lightning knows enough of Gorre's power not to use it whimsically, and as for Maera... who knew? And yet, perhaps the most troubling thing is the persistent indication throughout the day, in the email program where it lists member addresses, that Kiku, as far as one could tell, has not logged out.
Suddenly there is an alert of a new email message (for both Kusardo and Kimono)
Author: Twin Lightning (Rei)
Subject: There is something you should see
Kiku has recovered, or at least, her data is now stable and functioning as it should.
However... well, it's better for you to see and hear for yourselves, and then you can decide whether you believe it or not.
If you are online and have time, please meet me by the Chaos Gate in Lia Fail, which is where you probably will log in.
It isn't something to discuss openly, so I'll invite you to my small guild @home. That is where Kiku is right now.
To simplify things, I've attached the key to this email; consider the @home a place to talk when you need someplace to.
Where the avatar is displayed next to the message is the blue-eyed version of Twin Lightning, and once you reach the bottom of the message, a small alert pops up that states: 'You now have the 'Secret Key' guild key!'
Logging into 'The World' (provided you do), you arrive at a very serene sight. It looks incredibly archaic, especially compared to Mac Anu and Lumina Cloth. In this city, Lia Fail, the Chaos Gate is centred upon a hill, with wooden steps leading up to it, giving it almost a shrine-like feel. There are houses situated around the city, but not very many of them, giving the place the feeling of being more remote and less connected to civilization. Throughout the paths between the houses are blossoming cherry trees, and the house designs are all of ancient eastern origin. From the vantage point by the Chaos Gate, you can see a simple marketplace located to the side, comprised mostly of NPC's and PC's with their own little carts and stalls arranged around a little shrine. The NPC's of this city are dressed in apparel that matches this archaic setting. Sitting on a wooden bench underneath a cherry tree that's by the Chaos Gate is Twin Lightning. The background music of this Root Town is a serene and melodic theme of some sort of stringed instrument playing in harmony with what sounds to be an archaic, eastern style flute.
Twin Lightning's eyes are closed, so it's hard to say which of the two is behind the controller, although the email was just sent by Rei, so chances are good it is the sister. Twin Lightning's body position does not indicate tiredness or sleeping, but rather thoughtfulness and contemplation, like someone presented with a problem that is nearly impossible to solve.
((Let's see... approx. time abouts is halfway between noon and dusk, and it's Saturday))

Regarding the broken flaming scimitar, this is the perfect opportunity for you to get a replacement. You can just grab one from the armoury (and it is there, since it is a common melee weapon).

Topic: You Filthy Little Thief!!!
Subject: Sensing
The hair at the back of Ocyari's neck tingles, and a small shiver passes down her spine, as she feels eyes upon her. True, it made sense people would look at her because she was performing, but this was different. It was just a feeling to be wary... but whether it was actually ill will or not, was hard to say. All she could feel was something eyeing her, and she did not like it.
"Don't forget me!" Ocyari says as she steps off of her chair and walks behind the others as they make their way across the room.

Topic: Welcome or Not!
Subject: Charade
"Hmm? I didn't know I had company."
The voice is Sen's, but it is that of her elven form. Stepping from underneath the foliage, Sen walks into the light. Well, no, to say that it's Sen implies that she's in her sylph form, which she isn't; she appears as she did in the first city, as an elven woman dressed in a blue gown.
"Who are you? I haven't seen you around here before." She asks, tilting her head at Arturo.
True, the charade might be unnecessary, but it was out of habit and her own reasonable paranoia that Sen decided to hold it. Besides, she didn't really know Arturo's motives, and it would do no good to risk much, especially at this point.

Subject: Regarding Yin
Yin Chang is an npc, however, in this situation since Sibelius' character is shy (part of her character), I let Sibelius take temporary control RP-wise of Yin so that it wouldn't put Willow on the spot, but at the same time it wouldn't inconvenience the party.
Speaking of npcs... I suppose I'll have to come up with a list of the ones that are there. Well, I will when people are past introductions and are actually looking around the citadel/armoury.
Or, instead of a list, I could put up a large post regarding them if needed... there are certainly a few that will require in-game posts...
Well, I'll do that a bit later; PC-PC interactions come first

Topic: Star Wars: The Outer Rim
Subject: Assessment
Missiles are at 86.667% of capacity. That should be sufficient, however when we may be able to resupply is unknown. It is also unknown when the use of the missiles may be required; according to simulations, the requirement of the use of heavy armament is at a less than 10% chance. Kate quickly assesses. The best course of action is to enter outer space now. There is a greater than 85% chance we will be pursued at this point, and the longer we remain, the greater the chance increases that the number of fighters involved in the battle will be larger.
With that assessment recorded in memory, Kate quickly accesses the ship's startup routine to get the engines at least started.
Kate then yells toward Quilia, "Let's go!"

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Whew... now where am I?
"Gotcha!" Linnix smugly murmurs as the goblin is impaled into a tree by her last shot.
Hearing the sound of the drum disappear entirely, Linnix quickly turns back toward the camp. Did that mean the source was already stopped, or was there something else behind it? Well, no matter, she'd just have to check herself. Linnix quickly retraces her steps back to the camp, specifically to the big tent, while drawing a dagger from her hip with her right hand, keeping a hold on her bow with her left.
"Alright, let's see who was beating that thing." Linnix murmurs to herself.
With dagger in hand, Linnix cuts a small (large enough for her to shoot through, but no larger than that really) hole in the side of the tent, and takes a look inside.

Topic: Inconceivable Crusaders Q&A
Subject: Hmm
I think you're taking it a bit too far; in the end when people post or even the order of the posts doesn't matter, for it's the initiative count that determines when each post occurs.
That is supposed to be the benefit of play-by-post, to be able to update when everyone has posted; who posts and at what time doesn't matter, for as long as it's all for the same round(s), the end result will be determined by the DM's resultant post.
Just because someone posted before you, especially for a combat situation where the initiative count is mandatory, doesn't truthfully mean anything until after the DM updates. Then, in that update, it shows exactly what happens.
Perhaps Drasarr does manage to run in first; in the event that causes something drastic to change, the DM will make an update specifically regarding that, and will have players post their reactions. Otherwise, it should just be considered that that occurs in the round.

Topic: The Inconceivable Crusaders
Subject: Gamble, but what else is there to do?
"Are you really that stupid? I gave you more credit than I should have. I suppose it's true that you brought something, and so should be rewarded for bringing something..."
At this point, Jevaf's hands are closed around both daggers in her sleeves.
Jevaf raises her voice, so that it echoes around the cave, and hopefully outside, "Treachery is rewarded with death!"
Even before she finishes speaking, she pulls both hands from her sleeves and with a flick of her wrist, hurls the dagger in her left hand at the thief.
((Yes, penalties for overshooting range, but whatever. This following happens if Jevaf wins the initiative))
Even before her hand follows through with the throw, Jevaf already rushes forward, bringing her left hand across and smoothly drawing the rapier from its sheath at her right hip. Reaching a part of the cave where she notes it is easier to hurl the dagger and successfully hit the thief, she does so, flicking her right wrist and the curved dagger flies end over end horizontally toward the thief.
((Moving 30 feet of the 40 separating the two then hurling the other dagger))

Jevaf smiles, although there is no emotion in her smile. "I certainly have to commend you; that is a very fine fake you chose to provide. Do you take me for a fool? The master will not be pleased about this."

Topic: Auguries of Destruction: The Linsemptus - Q/A
Subject: I don't know what you're referring to
If you're referring to the fact that ranged weapons bestow their enhancements upon the ammunition used by them, well, that's standard. You cannot have a ranged weapon that has +0 enhancement but some ability; that rule is also standard.
Please clarify; what you currently have written does not make sense to me at the moment.

Topic: Star Wars: The Outer Rim
Subject: So much to do, no droid can do it all!
They will be returning soon. Delay tactics need to be taken. Kate concludes, already wheeling toward the next console to open the hangar doors. Now to lock down the doors that lead to the hangar and set a lock on the lock down...
((So yeah... trying to give us as much time as possible by locking down the hangar, preventing access from inside at least; I can't close the hangar doors because we'll have to go through them in the ship))
Finishing that, Kate can only hope the organics moved at their highest potential to at least provide enough ammunition to the ship for the space battle that was likely, given her simulations. Still, there was one thing she had to do first, and so, zooming onto the ship Kate accesses a computer port on the ship itself and quickly diagnoses the ship, taking an inventory of its current weapons, as well as analyzing its weapon system and other components.
