Bit abrupt to ask this, so to explain: I got a few thing cooking that I think would make for some good fun as a group or not, but need to be spaced out for plot reasons. Add onto the fact that the city is on lockdown for a bit - not that’d it would stop most of the PCs - and there would not a whole lot to do IC unless you guys want to indulge Fortune and her sister Lady Luck. So I had the idea to cut the gaff, so to speak.

If you take it, I’ll list how many day would be ‘skipped’ , and you can make a list of stuff your PCs would like to do. Moreover, the time ‘skipped’ would count against any time limits or quest progression, unless you want it to be. For example Vern’s search for a biiig Wailmer wouldn’t leave him behind, or Spah won’t get worse if Bern can’t cure her today.

So…what do you think, mates?

The Who1e 'Day to Day' Encounters is the norm , but I want to speed things up a bit without introducing a non stop barrage of stuff that In Universe wou1d probab1y be a bit much for the PCs to hand1e. Then again, it's Suta1or, where the Wi1d , Untamed, and Inordinate1y Strange and Abnorma1 IS the norm....

I dunno, I'm xust worried about not overcrowding the time1ine with stuff and giving your PCs (and you guys) some breathing room before the next few Events come breathing down their necxs. I'm thinxing of 2 - 3 day Sxip, to Day 4  or 5, introduce the Event, then from their p1aying it out and afterwards resuming the 'norma1' way of doing stuff. How's that sound so far, mates?

After the current Event with the Pokemon Center and the creation of a cure for Saph, I would definitely enjoy SOME breathing room to wrap up some open threads and follow my own pace/course of actions, before being given a new set of Events to fully indulge in and play through without having to worry about open ends left to conclude. Mostly the few points I've already mentioned - all of this shouldn't take more than two Encounters though - and some other things I wanted to work on (like properly try out battling via Evocation Spells and using Zephy's skills, haven't done so at all so far!) - all to be throughoutly feel ready for new Events to find oneself in. Yeah, uh, sorry that I'm stressing this so much!

On the other hand though, me feels it CAN be possible to blatantly ignore a set of Events, at one costs or the other - like, kinda like I did with Bernhard, hehe. Or can it?

Yeah, that's the p1an, at 1east with you - 1et you sett1e things out with the Points/Episodes you 1isted before or during the Sxip, then Autoing through what your PC does during the Sxiped days based on what you 1isted out (Temp1ate Coming Soon, after I get down with the next few Posts....) + Ro11s 1inxed to them. For Seddi, Oz, and Ianai 's Night Time Trai1 - No, I haven't forgotten THAT -  nothing is stop you guys from sti11 doing it as your 4th Encounter of this current In Game Day or sxiping to it on the 3rd Day and have that as a Mini Event of sort. Ianai did say it cou1d be done either way, so up to you guys to sort out when and how that is going down!

You can, actua11y! Nothing is stopping individua1 PCs and P1ayers from xust 'Nope!' ing out of Events if they can (Some things are Forced Encounters, or wi11 be sprung on you due to Fortune or P1ot Shenanigans), though how easy or feasib1e that is wi11 vary . The cost to that is that you don't get to be a part of them and are going to be put 1ower on the priority bacxet as I try to find stuff for you to do on the side or NOT (as in, you create your own fun) whi1e a1so progressing said Event . I wou1d 1ixe for everyone to xoin in when these pop up, and in some cases getting out of things wi11 be a hass1e IC , but if what is on offer is not your cup of tea, don't drinx it I say!
