That's fine. We've got plenty of time. ^v^

No no nothing like that. Just the village they live in will have more than 3 for sure. It will be short lived and none of them will be major and its doubtful many of them will make any comeback.

Also I appreciate the respect of you recognizing my original race as mine and leaving me to run their species here

(giggles) Like I've told you, each character needs to fit int the world for this to work, and each species they belong to living like the player expects is a huge part of that, letting the character's experiences and personality evolve to the way the player defined them! The respect thing is super important too, so lots of reasons for it! ^v^

But yeah, that kind of thing is totally fine. Even if you do end up dropping by there again, it's not a problem. Our rules are basically just to make sure people use common sense and give some guidelines. ~v^ I more than trust you to be good.

And I don't know don't know how to being,since your so far into the story...

This is why you message Dazz and I, or ask questions about thing here. Give us some info on who you'd like to play and things like that, and we can help you out!

OK

And we aren't really that far in. Mostly people are still just trying to figure out what to do now that they know about the shards. ~v^ The only huge progress so far is a thing Dazz and I had planned to start off with anyway. ^v^

Mhm! And if you'd like one of us can pretty easily sum up the recent events with you and let you where everyone is so you can start interacting more quickly.

It might be beneficial to post progress updates in the OP if you're going to do that daz....it would make it easier for other new joining players to catch up easily.

Just a thought really, seeing as several of us, if not all of us, are basically writing small novels for posts lol

Edit: actually I think avitra is the OP

I could do this, yesh... Not right now, tonight's another kinda busy night, but I could definitely do that. Or make a doc for things to link to, at least.

Dante, please note that the shard is not forced upon the characters with the messages. The message is given to them because they hold one of the shards already, (or in the case of Vee's it had been left where the shard had been waiting for a while, but that was something we'd discussed ahead of time).

If the fluffy folk in orbit could move the shards like that, they would have just locked them away where Victi couldn't reach them.

If you meant that he'd already had it, that's fine, it's just mot super clear. '^v^ (curious about how he acquired it, but whatever)

oh sorry

So do you guys have any idea where the mythical forest is in relation to, say, anywhere else? I'm just curious when I reach the point Vee enters, as they call it, the barelands, where they might end up or who they might meet first. Do you think a village would be setup near the forest due to curious adventurers entering it, or do you think society would intentionally keep its distance?

I could see there being a few villages and/or outposts along the edge of the territory, a) to service the adventurers and get what coin they can out of them before the rest is lost to the woods, and b) to make sure that if anything serious comes out of there (600 manticore riding tribesmen or something? I dunno what they're expecting X>) they can maybe drive it back or delay it or.... something. If there are outposts, they're probably used as an excuse to station unliked people far away from everyone else. (giggles)

Alright...personally I feel like something coming out of the forest would be kind of shocking, fascinating, and possibly concerning for these outposts considering the nature of the forest (or at least the perception of it's nature). I feel some would consider something like Vee walking out interesting and want to learn more about it like a unicorn while others think they could be dangerous and maybe want to just kill it out of fear before it summons 600 manticore riding tribesmen or something (returns giggle hah). Thoughts?

I agree fully! If you'd like me to run whoever you meet and keep you on your toes a little, I can, or if you're happy to run them in your posts and handle it all more quickly and smoothly, that works too!

That's your call really. I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself, but having you running them actually sounds like fun. I've probably Rp'd with myself long enough anyway

Sure! I've had some practise running confused and disgruntled soldiers. (giggles)

Soldiers? Uh oh.....RIP Vee's innocence (or RIP Vee depending on the soldiers lol)

I get the feeling they may mostly just be confused. We'll see how it plays out!
