Hello, I am sad to say no new posts tonight from me. Just wanted to give you an update in case you might be expecting it.
You're good, girl XD. I try not to ever 'expect' anything when it comes to writing, cause, well I know that stuff comes up--including tiredness haha. I'll just stay excited till I get a chance to write and post :).
I am, however, super ready to get into this rp. Sooooo....ya know, get more free time to spend with me! Lol. But no, yeah, no rush for real.
Alright, I ended up staying awake, I wanted to ask, did we decide that Leanna and Navina were blood related or not. I don't remember so I just chose a different last name for her. How are the ages, should I add more or less?
I am really ready to start this story and see it come alive! I love it when this happens, that all the pieces come together and we begin.
Yup! Tney are blood, but 100 yrs would allow for lastnames to change--actually, yours picked could be their familys (the girls royal bloodlines) lastname, and Navi's was just one made up by Lea and Navi to give her a name.
Ages are perfect for me. Im thinking that Navi was atound 16 or 17 a 100 yrs ago, so she was a bit young when things started to go down. But it's been about three to four yrs since she woke up, so that many years she has spent with Lea. Or should i up it to 18 and have them only been around one another for 2 yrs? Or should i add on another yr or two to her current age?
I love when pieces click together, to! So! When it comes time to getting it started, want me to start it off? Or do u wanna?
I like it when you start things off, if you don't mind. But I also don't mind starting, I gues it depends how we want to start it and with which characters at the moment. I am good with anything, any ideas?
You could add another year to Navi's age or not, eaither way it will work well for me. I don't mind the age gap between the two. And it could be three years or so since she woke up. If it is too long, I feel like it might get harder and harder that each year passes for Lea to keep certain things a secret from her.
i shall start us off, then! I have a decent idea for the kick off, anyways. May control Cay just a tiny bit (making him walk etc) and same, possibly, for Lea. But neither enough that itd effect anything really. So the usual lol. I'll probably stsrt working on it after i cook.
Mkay! I'll leave her age as is with the yrs her being awake being a little less than or right on 3.

I got like 500 words in before my sleep helper kicked in. Imma try and get more of it knocked out before I go to work tomorrow at 4. I won't get off till like 11, so won't be on during those hours at all. I'm off Friday, though, so should be able to get more done def Friday! It's gonna be a lot of rambling and crap XD. So be prepared lol.
I am ready for the rambling, that always helps me set the mood, setting and stuff like that. I like it, ya know I do, haha.
I posted in Emma's house thread, just so you know, the group is getting busy again so the updates are flowing through and you might miss it. Of course, you don't have to reply right away, I just wanted to show you my post that it is there and I haven't forgotten about our stories. ^^ I will work on Will's reply sometime today, possibly getting it done by tonight, but I got errands to run and work this afternoon so we shall see.
Well, good, cause there sure is a bunch of it. I made the last bit of the boys' trip to the girls' village a pretty quiet one. Hope that was okay. Also, you've got a strong stomach for the darker elements of stories, right? I made a call on one part that could be a bit too...much for some people; it's not That bad. Just wanted to double check, though, that you're cool with darker stuff, no matter the shade?
I've gotten the first half, Sebastian's part, written up. Now I'm just having to deal with Navi's. I knew more of who I wanted Bastian to be, so his post just came naturally. But Navina's character is still a work in progress of what I want her to be like. So many different versions have flickered through my mind. But I think I've got a feel of what direction I want to go with. So I should be getting her half done up soon.
There were like 16 notifications, and my thingy only displayed like 8; yours came before the eight that showed, so it didn't in fact show me you'd posted. I did, however, scroll through the group and look at the places we were rping at to see if there was an update XD. GRs has done this too me enough times that I have adapted haha. Thank you for letting me know! I loved your post for her! I love how your getting to expand on how she has always been a tough and independent woman, not needing anyone to worry about her, but deep down she craves for it just like everyone does. I also like her reaction to the 'dirty' car lol. I felt it was more befitting of his character to not waste a single second and take Jackson there himself.
Navina's portion wasn't that great, in my opinion. But once I get more into her character, it should improve XD. Posting it now.
Finished reading your post, it was awesome! I really loved how it allowed me to really picture the setting, time and mood of the area. I know that the part you wrote was dark, but it is the reality of that land and how the beasts/darkness has taken over in that area. I am fine with dark stuff, I can pretty much stomach anything and write anything. I can do gore, torture and war but I think the only thing I won't write is sex. I am fine with implying that it happened, but not writing the whole thing in detail. But, I am glad you intorfuced the story this way, it gives me the go ahead to write the intensity of what the land is going through rather then keeping everything clean and sparkles. I am all about the reality of the story, kind of the same thing goes for the zombie RP, if someones arm gets ripped off or needs to be severed, it has to happen that's basically it, no beating around the bush. Not everyone is going to go through it clean and alive. You get what I mean? :)
I loved how I can already see bits of Bastian's personality and how he feels about the whole situation. The relationship that he has with his brother and also how he isn't cold hearted, seeing that he did have some remorse for the horses. I love the detail of the red glowing eyes and even I felt the eariness of the position they were in.
Navina's character has a lot of self-finding, [if that is even a word] she is relying on the memories of three years and what Leanna has told her. I love that there is already and formed trust between the two girls, I love how that trust will be tested when things start unfolding. I like her confidence, rather than being scared of the Dynasty Kingdom's arrival but she also is curious and on guard. All in all, these characters that we've got here are perfect for this.
By the way, I love all the names you use and have made up to describe the land, like the Sanctuary, Calamity and even the title of the RP.
So, I am inspired and I will get some writing done today for sure. I will probably reply to all of our posts together before getting to others in the zombie group because, haha, I am biased to our three stories going on. And with the notifications, I manually check them too because I know GR can fail to notify me at times too.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I felt pretty decent with Bastian's portion, so it's great to know that you felt like it was all set up pretty well and what not from it! I'm going to, hopefully, get into that same comfort zone with Navi soon enough. Like you pointed out, though, it could have to do a bit with how lost she is cause she knows so little about the majority of her life. That sort of thing can make a person feel very insure about who they are for sure. So! Only time will tell how she ends up behaving. Def one of those 'have to walk in her shoes to know her' situations.
Yup, thought you were the one who was golden with dark stuff. I didn't make it TO terrible...though I feel like it may only get worse as the four go out into the world together. I'm pretty okay with writing near anything as well. I'm not against sex scenes, but I've done so few of them that I am not the best at them lol. I feel awkward writing them because of that, so I rarely do them unless my partner feels secure in going into that sorta detail. So no worries at all that you aren't fond of writing those scenes :D. Implication, if it ever needs to be implied, is fine by me!
I am happy you liked the names I went with XD. At each name, I found myself paused for a good several seconds at least as I tried to come up with something not horrible. So I'm glad they were liked!
Yay! It means so much that you're feelin' inspired for the rp a bit due to my post! That's the best sign of a decent post, when the other rper feels excited and charged to write a reply. I know I always feel that way to your post replies to me :). Haha, I hear ya. I'mma respond to you before I respond to anyone as well. Our rps just feel...more involved. I wasn't sure Elle was ever going to actually return, so I ended up asking another person in the group to collab with me. I usually do two sets of characters for each group; it's good stable number. But now here she is, back and still down for collabing. So I have three sets. Four characters I have to make a decently detailed profile for (that's the part I'm least fond of, in honesty). Takes so much time to form words for personalities, then it takes another hour or more to write damn histories for each one. Bleh. Ah well.
I am excited to read your replies! I have work tonight, so I won't really be on much after i post this. I'm off tomorrow, and am a callin monday night. So I should be active decently in the next few days.
Oh gosh, I won't be posting tonight eaither. Something came up , stupid emotions, thanks for understanding.
Hello, my Easter was good, didn't go out and do much though. I worked on Sunday so it was pretty much work in the morning, lunch, church, work again, get home and eat, shower, then sleep. Wish I could have done more but my working two jobs thing comes to an end on May 8th. Which hopefully will give me more time to relax and not be stressed out. How was your easter?
Yay, I finally posted, I had been working on that post over the past three days but I never liked any of them. Until finally I had a good hour to sit down and focus on what I wanted Will to say and feel. At first, I had him have this attitude of think that Enzi was crazy, she could never do it, Access would kill her, etc. But, I felt like what the heck Will, you know she isn't crazy, you know how badly the both of you don't like Access and you know that you are only in it because that was the only way to see Enzi again. [Ahh, his love is so hidden from him he doesn't even know that the separation they had possibly made it grow because of this worry and what not. Okay, I digress...] Then I thought about dragging it out longer but I hated that as well so instead I went for a bit of explaining Will's past with Access. Not too much because I'm all about revealing it bit by bit to make the reader wondering and guessing. But yea, that's my post. And now to work on the other one, woop I am ready!
Yeah, before Elle left she asked me about a couple ideas she had for the zombie group. And we settled on two, one for sure was the country couple but the other was the jailbird lovers. And so she left, and I finished my country guy but then totally forgot about the other one. Now she is back, she made both characters and I kept reading how people really wanted to collab and have the guy who was in jail, ex-military and I'm thinking, oh so she made that character. Oh that's nice, I guess she is going to collab with someone else. But then she messages me and says if I had seen the guy yet and have any thoughts yet on the girl I was making for him. Hahaha, yeah, I felt bad, I was just like 'oh!' so yea umm, now I'm trying to find this badass chick that is slightly crazy/quirky for her guy and yea....
History, profile, personalities...it is a long process.
Quick reply before i go into work (i actually got called in. Fml.l. i loved wills post, i am excited to read the one for here whenever u get time to write it, and im super happy to hear u had a good easter!
Quick update: working on a reply but busy with work today and tomorrow. Most likely will post on Thursday.
Mkay! Time for that reply to yours I've been meaning to do.
I really loved Will's post. I loved how we get to see the obvious fact that he never believes anyone could take down access, yet he still ends up offering to help. Why, one may wonder? Himself including in this wonderment. Love! Lol. I love how clueless he's still managing to be. It's adorable. I'm excited for my next post (brainstorming) for Enzi. But before that, Atty's post, which I'm super excited for to. Ick, and somewhere in there I have to make a few characters. Lovely.
Oh, so you'd already gotten to get 'dibs' on the one that like six people were fighting for? Lol. Well, look at you! See, I think it'd be fun to rp with Elle...but she seems a bit too unreliable for me to want to make two entire characters for. They'd end up frozen in time until she returns from her vanishings that are mostlikely going to be regular. I get it, vanishing here and there. We all do it....but she's done it a couple times since we've started rping in the group. It's too much for me to get fully on board with. Though, as soon as she replies to my PM, I'll probably start making the characters for that rp.
So! Speaking of hating making characters. While I was watching a show, I had a great idea for a collab in that group. I hate it because either I will get someone to do it with me and I'll have to make a character, or I won't ask around for someone to rp it with med it won't get done. Bleh. I'mma tell you what it's about because I'm excited but...indecisive about if I want to do it. (view spoiler)
Posted for Cayden, I am working on Leanna's part right now. Should be up and posted before midnjght.
Done and done, off to bed, I will reply to your other previous comment about the new zombie idea once I wake up in five hours. :) [hope you like the posts for Leanna and Cayden. Sorry for any typos, I will reread it tomorrow and fix them.]
Your idea with the bounty hunters has a lot of possibilities that can go into it. It is a really good idea with both plots working out as to whether the guy or the girl is the bounty hunter. I love that scene of them trying to fight off their first zombie encounter snd the other is wanting to help but can't do much damage with the handcuffs on. I feel like they would be arguing all the time, at least in the beginning and the bounty hunter would still want to take the other one in after this is all over. Of course that perspective would change once they realize that everything isn't going to go back to the way it was. But it's really good and I know what you mean about starting a character and being uneasy to ask others for a collab. I am not too sure about everyone else, whether it be their activity or their writing style.
((Sorry for not being active. Womanly time of the month has eatten at me DX. I will, hopefully, be back on some tomorrow and the next day.))
Mkay! On my computer and able to actually talk for a moment. Been super moody the past week and all that crap. I'm the worst person ever for not getting to reply in the zombie group and here. Btw, I don't even know if I've told you yet or not, I loved your post here. It was fantastic XD. It was a good opening for both your characters. I do just want to clear one little thing for better visual on my part: is Lea's home a tent like structure or more wooded (house like)? Either is perfectly fine by me. Just wanted to make sure i was seeing what you were :).
How have you been?

Hello, I did the whole gone for two weeks thing, sorry. But here I am, replying now to your comment/question. Okay so the above pictures are things I found online that we can use as a reference. Do you like any of them that could be similar to what we had in mind to where they are currently at right now? I don't mind whether we are in a house or tent. I am good with both, we could even do a really big elaborate tent that is mixed with magic. Not sure though, let me know.

I can't see the first one very well; the picture got really small :(. But outta all of them, the second one is the most alluring to me. But it does seem a bit...big compared to what I was thinking. I don't think we need a picture to go by :). So long as we are on a similar page as far as 'what' sorta place it is, we will be golden. I'm great with a mixture between housing, tents, and magically imbued elements. A mixture would probably work best, honestly. It'd show how in progress they still are. With that said, whatcha think of these sorta houses? (view spoiler)["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>
I literally sit down to start typing despite my being sick, and then typed like two words to realize that I can't get through the haziness that comes with a cold enough so to write D:
The mixture of all of those three components into one village is great. Those houses look good as well, I will keep them in mind when writing and visualizing the place. We will get the main concept of the place in its entirety. So I had a daydream palooza yesterday and I thought of all these ideas of what would happen in their future. It has a lot do with encountering different monsters, someone getting captured by an enemy, possibly the Rogues? That I had mentioned in the oracle's opening post. And other things but ahh, I am back in it now after my hiatus.
I hope you feel better! I totally know what you mean when you are sick. It is hard to write, in the meantime I shall keep daydreaming.

Hello, are you there? I have been gone. I shall update you on everything, I feel like you are my friend that I havent seen in a long time and now all I want to do is talk and write.
So, our dog, Sky, our relationship with her as been getting much better, giving me less stress. And the relationship with her and cats is getting better, still cant be in the same room but at least my cats dont hiss when they see Sky from upstairs.
My sister's birthday just passed, the entire time I was busy preparing gifts for her. We do a whole birthday month instead of just one day to celebrate.
The biggest thing to be honest, is school. I am taking online classes for the rest of the year and the next. 4 for this semester and I have been staying up to do the tests and assignments.
Nevermind, biggest thing was work. I was working 40 hours, on top of animal household relationship duty, birthday prepairer, and full time student. [Veterinarian technology]. BUT I asked for my schedule at work to be put to part time, my work in school has lowered since I recently completed three big projects. And next semester I wont be working and I will only be taking two classes.
So, I want to say I am back to write. Of course, I completely understand if you dont trust me yet. But I will reply soon in our new story. Unless you want to do something else, but if you are up for continuing so am I.
But that was my talk for now, how have you been? :)

Really quick reply, still moving stuff into our new house atm.
Im happy to hear that Sky and you are getting to become better with one another! Cats can take awhile to adjust, but they seem to be on the right path :D. Damn, girl, 40 hours a week, classes, and birthday planner on top of animal stuff?! You have been up to your ears in stuff!
I would love to write with you still :D. Trust isnt an issue because you seem to be like me; even if you vanish for awhile, you'll return XD, same as me!
Ive been decent enough. Applying to a hundred jobs to try and get a new one. We've moved into our new places and have finally gotten the old one cleaned up and done with. In the process of washing a ton of clothes and unpacking. So all in all...decent on my end :).

Glad to hear that you are doing well and the moving has gone underway. I have moved/ lived in a total of 4 houses so far, so I totally get the packing/unpacking ordeal. I'm glad you guys have found a new house :) My sister and I may move in two years, not sure though, depends how things go in life I guess.
Great, I will look over the story again for Legend, and get my reply going here this week. And also feedback on your post which I am pretty sure I failed to add, but I had a feeling I loved it :]
I hope you get a new job that you love! Best wishes for you! I am currently working at a dog daycare but my sister and I are quitting in September to get our life back together. The whole find what I love doing instead of just forcing work on my schedule 24/7.
I wanted to ask, also, feel free to take your time in replying, especially if you are busy today. How is everything with Your Grace? I saw that it hasn't had much activity lately. I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you all kick start it off. I wish I could have been but yea, life happened. But did it get into the plot line or where people still making their characters?
By the way, Happy Fourth of July! My sister and I plan to see if I can watch fireworks from our upstairs windows tonight ^^

Two years, at least you'll have some time to get ready :D. You and your sister plan on living with one another for a good while?
Awesome! I'm super excited to see your response whenever you get to write it :D.
I would probably LOVE a job like a doggie daycare XD. I'm a big animal lover, though lol. What are you wanting to do?
I will never feel rushed, then :). Your Grace is halted atm, but not because of anyone besides Ant and me. Ant had some housing stuff going on that drew her away, that should have been done around the last day of June, but she's not back yet, so she may have vanished on me again. Which is super crappy and saddening, but ah well. So long as I have some great rps to keep me goinglike the ones with you, I'll be fine :).
Happy 4th to you as well! I hope ya'll enjoy the fireworks!

Yea, my sister and I are really close, we have been through a lot together, emotional stuff and she is the only one in my family that gets me, vice versa. We both have the same dreams of what we want to do one day so it steers our life together on the same path. Those dreams though are a long story mixed with family problems and hopes of speaking other languages and traveling different parts of the world.
The dog daycare is fun, I used to be manager there but my boss is a bit difficult to work with and my co workers dont do anything. It is the peoplw rhat really make the job too. But I first have to work at a vet hospital for the rest of my school, then I am planning on working maybe at some type of sanctuary. Preferbly farm animals or cats, not sure yet though. :)
I just checked out Your Grace again, I saw that it was on hold with the announcements alerting the group and stuff. I think I am going to start over on my face claims and ideas, just start anew. Let the daydreaming commence :p !

Hope you like the new post, I may be a bit rusty but I liked it anyways ^^ I have a couple of scenes running through my head with this story that could happen. I threw the 'test' thing out there, we could think of what they can do or you can surprise me and I will happily go with it. Eaither way. I am still in love with this story. :]
I love your post, of course :D. I can't think of anything off the top of my head for the test, so I'd love to do some brainstorming with you? That could trigger some sorta ideas for me :).
I'm super happy you still love the story! I have no doubt it'll only get better from here!
I'm super happy you still love the story! I have no doubt it'll only get better from here!
Great, glad you liked it :) I didn't know how you would have felt about the 'test' idea but I just decided to throw it out there. I was needing some action to write. So, for the brainstorming, I was thinking of something to do with action, and also wit.
1) Perhaps our heroes have to go out and defeat some kind of monster.
2) Cayden and Sabastian have to fight some of the best warriors within the Sanctuary.
3) Magic can be intertwined with the test, a made up scenario that puts them right into a scene of having to fight the darkness but it is all happening in their heads.
4) Oh, other magic idea, they have to fight themselves, like a doppleganger type of thing.
5) Something happens within the test that Navina gets accidentally brought into it, and they do end up saving her. Of course, they don't know she is the actual goddess chosen princess, but Leanna does, and that helps her decide to allow them to go together.
[I have more tests I can think of, I just didn't know where our limitation to magic and the things we have accessible around the Sanctuary.]
As for who should come up with the test, I was thinking that maybe Bastian could suggest a test, and Navina agrees to it, but she adds her own twist to it or added detail. What do you think?
I could totally have Bass suggest something then Navina alter it completely but using the basic of it.
Mkay, so I have a sorta idea brewing up that sorta brings a lot of those ideas together, and it brushes into a bit more magic usage than you were limiting to. So before I throw it out, I wanna hear your other ideas that use some magic to see if I can tie that into it to :D.
as far as a limit on magic goes, I'm not sure we really 'have' one. We just have to sorta judge here and there if what we go with will work well or not. I do think that we should limit anything powerful to the girls, though. I'm sorta thinking that a lot of the 'physical' magic is more of Navi's field and mental is Lea's since her powers revolve heavily around seeing the future and what not. Maybe we go on to expand her powers into sensing emotions, danger, and what not? Like a lot of the sensory stuff. Whatcha think?
Awesome, I really do like that we don't have a limit, we can just go back and forth on what we think is best for each character. That also gives me more options for the future and what kind of problems or other characters they end up meeting.
Excited to hear your idea, the other magic ideas I was thinking of had to do with mind manipulation. It went into making a character believe he is somewhere when he is really not. But sometimes those things within the imaginary realm end up coming into reality so it is a dangerous skill or power to use. For example: The brothers are put into an imaginary realm where they are fighting certain monsters, the monsters energy and power are brought in but never can cross over. That is unless the user is interrupted [wow, got another idea but let me finish this one] or something happens to the person possessing this skill that tips the balance between imaginary and reality. So that, the monster or darkness that is within, can slightly creep out into reality which isn't supposed to happen, therefore the brothers have to fight this darkness that slipped into the Sanctuary. Farfetched idea, but my mind is brimming with the crazies right now of possibilities with this story.
The other idea that popped into my mind midway is that there is actually a spy or traitor within the Sanctuary that is trying to sabotage the place. The brothers end up finding this traitor, saving the Sanctuary from being harmed if this traitor had not been captured. Such as the magic barrier being destroyed or allowing other people who wish to take the princess or kill her, into the village.
You don't have to incorporate any of these, just some stuff I drew out of my thinking box.
I really like the difference between the two girls and their powers, I will expand more on that, thinking about what they are capable of and how much Leanna has control of. Of course, I won't make her all powerful, but I do feel, like you said, she has a sixth sense to sensing emotions and danger. Like the true feelings of a person, or judge of character. Reading thoughts, probably not but more of a spiritual connection.
It's funny because we both ended up having a very similar approach to the idea lol, just on different fronts of the idea XD.
The way I had started to storm it up involved manifesting a creature of darkness that was under the control/restrictions of the one who manifested it, making it so that the monster could not really harm any one or anything that had not been permitted during creation. So if the beast were to rush through a crowd of people, it would just phase right through them--like all it was was a whisk of smoke to them. But to those it was permitted to harm, it was as real feeling as a bolder. It could crush and then grind a person's bones to dust if allowed.
So I was thinking that Navi could manifest something (partly why she can do this tying into the fact that she's linked to the darkness itself without knowing as such), and the boys have to fight it off. But see...the monster she's creating is based off of a memory, again something not known to her since she doesn't have the ability to actively see her memories. Turns out this manifestation is drawn from her last memory, the one where she was with the other champion trying to defeat the darkness himself. The monster's mentality is altered a bit, drawing from her memory, and ends up altering his parameters and focus once having possibly knocked the boys down for a moment. His attention falls to Navina, and it starts to make his charge. At this point, however, Navi doesn't have control over the beast anymore. But just as this monster was drawn from her memory, another object manifests from the memory in a white-haze of sorts. It looked like a sword of sorts, laying on the ground a ways from Navina, near Cay, and he forces himself to his feet, catches hold of the manifested sword, and intersects the monster just in time to stab the 'blade' through the beast's weak point and 'kill' it.
But that was just an idea lol. But we can just as easily go the other direction. We could have it being a mental thing, the same scene pretty much, but all inside the boy's head. Nothing has to pop out into existence, rather Lea could end up putting in herself, Navina, and some other folk into the vision (not literally, just imaginary forms of them), and the boys have to try and save who they can. When it comes down to having to save either herself and Navina, she wanted to see if the champion had the correct 'instinct' or not on who he was meant to save--or maybe he manages protect them both in a situation that she'd designed to make that impossible. Idk lol. I had the other one more built on since that was my first approach haha. But I'm totally down for either! Whatcha feelin like would be the 'best'?
