Elementals 3: The White Rose (OOC, FANTASY, OPEN)

[Constaniana]

How are we doing on replies?

I'll try to get something up this weekend. Been rather busy pretending to work and then fussing over the actual amount of work I've done lol.

Good to hear.

[Lazarian]

Sorry, I know I've been holding things up. Really just a lack of inspiration for this right now, and the semester's starting to ramp up pretty hardcore as most midterms are next week. Spring Break's in a week though, and hopefully I'll have something in before then. No promises, though.

Fair enough. On the upside, not having to write an update gives me time for my other main writing project at the moment: the history of Yelhennei.

Rup, where had you envisioned Catrin going off to? Is she in a shop, a dusty shack? I had an idea for something to drop in to keep things rolling a bit there but I'd like more context before I get to writing.

Ameri's got her maybe a little predisposed at the moment. Lol

El Tiger can interact with this bit too.

Alright, I've actually started work on a reply for this now, and I should have it up tomorrow at the latest. In the meantime though, relevant question: Const, would Fenrirtusk be a reliable symbol of someone favored by the gods, or are such weapons common enough that they're not that strong as symbols? I figure it's an important thing to ask, since the Duke's court is clearly devout (or at least the Duke himself)

Mageforged weapons capable of conducting and boosting magic are generally relics from the golden age of the Galllian Empire or even earlier, so they're important symbolically. Fenrirtusk can glow extra special or something since Froenstia herself gave it to Tristan, and people might be more willing to believe what he says about being her champion if people like the Consul of Yuelkelu and Bismarke Van Aurenheim believe him.

Gotcha, sounds good.

Though for some reason I feel like bringing up Bismarke isn't a great idea

"Bismarke will vouch that I'm a servant of the gods, and if you still don't believe me he'll annex you plebs."

Alright, there's a post. It's mostly catch up, but there's some words to the admiral and duke at the end

[Kassaran]

So we enter the norious Dark Side of the Moon. Light is only just around the corner...

[Lazarian]

Sorry for the total silence on my end. I had a wave of midterms followed immediately by the coronavirus shenanigans impacting my parents' livelihood in a significant way, followed by my college moving to online classes. So everything's kind of up in the air right now. I'll post when I can, but I can't make any promises.

I hope things get better on your end, Laz.

That's rough; my college is doing the same thing. Did they send you home?

It works for me. I have a good idea of what to reply with.

-nods- I'll be waiting as always

[Kassaran]

Who knows, with all the quaratntine's going into effect, we could all have a easier time at posting yet agai- ah, who am I kidding anyways. lol

I posted my man.

The ship, she's out of my hands now.

Please. We could be sitting in the same room and it'd still be a slow mover.

[Kassaran]

Only because we'd all be laughing at hilarious imagined situations we could throw Eric into. Or imagining his backstory. I think I'd be entirely alright with having an Elementals Spinoff that entirely follows Eric in his younger years as a wandering mercenary and 'knight'.

All that would achieve is taking away the mystique that surrounds his wacky adventures

Important videos I have playing while working on the update and school stuff.

This reminds of the time I came up with a short-lived WW2-mecha Elementals spinoff on a snowday.

[Lazarian]

I actually should be able to get something up tonight or tomorrow.

It wasn't mandatory, but highly recommended. I ended up moving back home and picking up a night shift job at the local grocery store to help my folks out a little bit during this crunch period. We'll be fine - the adjustment period has just been a little strange. Balancing online classes and work isn't nearly as hard as I anticipated it would be, thankfully.

No thanks. I'm perfectly happy being the comic relief secondary guy.

That was a scam, we never got to the mechs

NOice! (about the posting.)

I'm glad work-life balance has gone ok for you.

We also never got to the second page.
