Let me know if you two want to free RP.  If not, I'll have a post up summoning the Spirit of Sharpness the moment I hear back from you.

I'd be down for some open RP but I suspect we're all too objective oriented characters to waste too much time on idle chitchat.

Bhaskara, are you drawing a summoning circle in the middle of the Celestial Bazaar?  Just making sure before I have anyone react.  You might need your companions to make sure no one steps on the circle as you're getting it ready, if so.

They are trying to, yes.

I'm trying to get a better feel for the character, and I'm liking strangely unobservant as one of their traits.  The multitude of voices compels them to action sometimes, and that leads to a certain amount of obliviousness.

Man, if you did a thing to raise the difficulty of this Spirit, we are about to have a double failure on our hands!


18:52, Today: Bhaskara Kohli rolled 5 using 1d10+3.  Contract Negotiation 2 + Manipulation Bene.

Apologies for my relative silence here. It's been a hard few weeks and didn't feel like much for Everly to say in the moment. >.>

Tryvv is up anyways.

I didn’t realize you called me into the scene.  Sorry.  Also I just want to suggest that if this doesn’t work we let it go.  It is a far bigger problem than summoning will solve.  Trust me.

Why did I call you Tryvv?

I blame it on grad school, last night was Research Methods, my brain is like a fried egg afterwords.

In reply to Bhaskara Kohli (msg # 89):

No worries.  Been there done that have the piece of paper.  Brutal class.

Ahhh!

I know I'm into a game when I find myself chomping the bit for a person who typically has an even faster response time than me to post so I don't skip them narratively.

Solid work Legacy, really enjoying playing this with you all.

I’ll be getting back to this shortly.  Had an in-law visit...  A good guy but it took it out of me having to deal with people for four days straight.

Week busier than expected - work is being a pain, will need to wait until Tue the 11th to start posting again. Apologies!

Windstorm. No power. Will post when able.

Be safe, no rush.

Well, apparently in wishing you safety I cursed myself.

We had a heat wave, which led to a freak weather event called a Roll Cloud around 2:30am yesterday.  The Roll Cloud caused massive winds, knocked out the power and internet, and literally left us in the dark with no cell service when the heat lighting started a forest fire near by.  Woke up to smoke at 5:30am after a restless night of lighting and thunder.  Had to grab the bug out bag and the cat to drive into town just to get enough of a signal to call the non-emergency line and figure out if our place was going to burn down or not.

So yeah, relaxing weekend.

Well I’m glad you’re ok...  I also appreciate living somewhere that the environment doesn’t actively try to kill me.

Bhaskara, I feel for you and I hope you and your cat are doing all right!

I now in a position do to an update on what happened in my neck of the woods.  Search for "Iowa derecho" if you want to see exactly what happened, but what basically was going on was that on Monday, August 10th a massive windstorm hit my area around 1:30pm (I was asleep due to my nocturnal schedule, but I woke up in a hurry).  It was a derecho, a straight-line windstorm with winds up to 100mph, though it was about 80mph in my area.  Is sounded like a freight train and looked like a hurricane, with branches and bits of roofing flying by our front windows.  We lost power shortly after the storm and didn't get it back until last evening on Friday the 15th.  We didn't get Internet back until Saturday the 16th, and spent most of Sunday and Monday replacing the food we'd lost from our fridge and ice chest and doing chores we couldn't do with the power out.  We were very lucky in that we (or my parents in the same area) didn't have any house damage and very minimal tree damage. Some folks weren't so lucky. There were trees across roads, trees on houses, and some cities had very massive property damage to a huge amount of homes and businesses (one city to the west of us has people camping in their front yards as they have no place else to stay). There are still roads shut with trees and light poles across them, and we've lost an immense amount of trees everywhere.  Every day for a week the air is alive with the sounds of generators, chainsaws, and woodchippers.  It's going to take weeks to get the branches and trees cleared that fell down during the storm, more to remove the trees that are damaged but still upright, and every third house is sporting a tarp to cover lost shingles, roof damage, or worse. We're one of the lucky ones and I am very grateful right now.

I will hopefully be able to update the game tonight or tomorrow.

Holy shit.

I'm so glad to hear you're alright.

No rush on posting, I apparently got the kiddy version of what you've been through.

No rush, just glad the both of you are alright.

Seriously, glad everyone is doing alright.

Sorry for the continued radio silence.

40 acres blossomed into in 10,000 acres on Tuesday night, with 22,000 people displaced.

I am one of those, we got the call to evacuate at 12:30am on Wednesday morning.  Grabbed the wife the bug out bag, and the cat, packed up the car, and fled to a hotel. The fire line crossed my house yesterday, so I have no idea if it's still standing.

Leaving the hotel today to go live with some friends in a nearby city this afternoon.

Don't know when I'll be posting next.

I'm so sorry Bhaskara!  It's very beastly out there.  :(  I hope you and yours are all right. *hugs*

I hope everyone is doing ok.  Good luck to all.  Maybe some day soon, when Earth isn’t trying to kill us all, we can back to some sort of normal.

That'd be delightful. As it stands, I'm not terribly fond that I've been getting Tornado warnings and watches at least once a week for the last two weeks. >.>
