I guess we can let Red Dawn handle the "call", what do you think? I assume the worst that can happen is she terminates the connection, so probably let's just go with it.

Shadow, does that mean Red Dawn will be the one connected to the Seeing Stone's soul?

I worried she would be the only one to communicate if we asked her, if everyone can listen in on her side too, seems... safe enough?

Still, Sun Snake can't let it go just at that...

She knew you would worry about that, hence why she made the offer to have everybody online - it's easier than having a fight over it. Also makes my life easier, too.

But of course, you're fully entitled to be as bothersome as possible to Dawn - considering her general attitude, it'd only be fair payback. :)

Seems reasonable, but Sun Snake couldn't help but still try to keep her off balance by asking about linking multiple stones at the same time. Can't let it stand that she can do somethign Sun Snake and the others can't do, after all :)

So, is everybody on board with Snake's decision to involve Peacock in the proceedings? I need full confirmation before I move us forward.

Yep.  Breaking out the popcorn and waiting for Sun Snake to crush him under a giant Wall of Righteously-Indignant Text :)

I agree - actually, the things might take a very interesting turn. :)

Yay, after literal years of being out of the main thread, Dusk Rat is back.

Well, she was still part of the game the whole time - doing backstory building (along Sabre Fox), and character development, and a bit of powerlevevelling as well, although that was most by getting into danger of her own initiative.

And she helped me a lot in fine-tuning the details of Shining Peacock's motivation as a character in a way that should make his actions look pretty logical once you all can read the whole thing, for which I'm very grateful. Her contribution to the game was pretty important even when she wasn't around you guys, is what I'm saying. :)

That said, I do enjoy finally being able to give her some chance to interact with everybody again - I'm looking forward to the results.

Oh yeah, I've noticed that she's always been posting over the year (two years?), so I know she's always been in the game. And yes, I'm sure having a player active with Shining Peacock has been great in figuring out the nuances of his character.

Of course, since Dusk Rat has been posting constantly, and many times interacting with one of the foremost psychics of the order, I'm going to guess she's possibly more powerful than the rest of us! And given she had a large WP reserve staff, might be an idea not to annoy her when we finally get face to face :p

Haven't forgotten what she did to that Nadziran Team Swift ran into ;)  hehe.

When the explanation for that comes out, Swift Fox (probably once the game is over and you can read the secret lines and thus understand what was going on there, or else directly ask Dusk Rat), I expect you'll be pretty surprised. Let's just say that the power Dusk Rat harnessed there is such that Swift Fox (the character) never would have been able to use it. :)

And I'm pretty sure my last Peacock post in the main thread listed everybody's Kai rank? Of course, that doesn't lists all improvement, so it's not comprehensive, but it does should give you all at least a general feeling for what the group's powerlevels currently are.

Raar, finally checking in on the OOC thread for the first time in, erm, ages, now that our IC stuff has finally converged once again (albeit temporarily until we all meet up again in person). Yup, I've been here the whole time, posting in other threads and having adventures of my own :D. I had no idea I'd been helping build Peacock's character, though - I was just generally RPing Dusk Rat. Still, there we go, bonus character developmet, woo! :D

Yeah, I've seen you posting in other threads - at least, noticing the post count going up and seeing the last time you posted.

Speaking of which, you seemed to have posted again today, even though your visible posts were yesterday... Not worried at all, of course not!

Hehe yeah, just had to check something with the GM but since RPOL doesn't allow posts that contain only private text, I just asked in one of our private threads instead.

Yup! And I can confirm that there's no reason at all for you to be worried about Dusk Rat's question, really. It was completely harmless and absolutely not in any way a threat to your goals in this conversation. Truly.

;)

You were just checking to see that if Dusk Rat nodded off listening to Sun Snake, if the connection would sever, or if the sound of snoring would carry over the Seeing Stones :p

Hey! Dusk Rat doesn't snore! ;)

Hey guys, sorry for the silence on my part - it's been a killer week for me (in RL). All the more, I'm looking forward to catching up.

Also, great to have Dusk Rat back with the rest of the group *waves* :)

There might be a few walls of text to wade through, sorry!

*hands Hornet a Ladder of Text to help in getting over those Walls of Text*

Unfortunately, I ad to pinc most of tose letters from oter words, so it may make the remainder of tis post a little bit incompreensible in places :)

I don't know if the ladders will suffice! ^_^

The only real recourse against the walls of texts is to strike before they form - if you're quick, and deliver the exposition yourself, then Sun Snake won't have to do it! ;)

You mean, make lots of little bricks of text to prevent him from using them all to build a wall? Hmm yes, good idea...

Also, lol Swifty, loved that post :D.

Well, I meant more like taking the initiative from him; after all, if you build the wall of text yourself, then you don't have to spend time learning everything about it, because you already know - from the experience of building. Also, your own wall might be smaller - not everybody shares Sun Snake's masterful skills at brickmanship. ;)

For myself, I enjoy everything you lot come up with - be it Sun Snake's text walls or Dusk Rat's long silences or Swift Fox sneaky murders, everything adds to the game and makes it more interesting. So long as more stuff gets added, I'm happy no matter what it is! ^_^

I told you, that was an accident.  He tripped and fell on that dagger...  Several times!
