Just kidding. It's not that I don't like detailed description and novel-style posts, but I do think sometimes less is more. A lot of times more is better but sometimes just posting a few sentences of revelation outdoes paragraphs upon paragraphs of exposition.

Meh. Be that way. *laughs*

Look on the bright side. All the background info is there. Usually Cer and I annoy the hell out of players by not revealing anything. It's just a simple post. "Minerva watched a bird fly overhead before nodding to Klaus and walking away. The plan was set." All the planning was hashed out behind the scenes to leave players in the dark.


That's true. I guess it's because I'm more used to TV and on TV I prefer my characters to behave like real people rather than vehicles of exposition.

Compare 10th Doctor's 3 episode leadup to his regeneration vs. 11th Doctor's simple regeneration scene that took like 3 minutes.

Possibly in an hour or so? Maybe. I might crash sooner just to get the extra sleep in. Do you want to free up Sep so you're not stalled while I'm away?

Sentia completes him, I swear. It's a perfect quirky touch.

Cer's handling some BS at work. I know he's taking tomorrow off, forum-wise, but he said he was going to work on coding Tuesday, if you planned to send Sep back there.

That reminds me... I need to drop in a Naomi post. Meh. It's on my To Do List.

I'll have Septimus poke around the other apartments while he's busy, then. Nothing quite like pissing off the neighbors to make a first impression, no? :p

Well, alright, can I have all the characters who are participating gather at least somewhat close?

He needs people to get their characters out of present nonsense and group somewhere so they can transform, is my guess. :p

Take care, Swith!

Does anyone know where their characters will be in around 12 IRL hours? I want to start interacting with other people but other than the communal kitchen and some adventure that I opted-out of I don't know where everyone else is.
