Apologies, Spirit, but I think I'll hold off on posting the stories until tomorrow.

No problemo mate. That post you have in mind must be huge since its a important part of the story, so I understand. I will have go to the bed soon, so thats a good call. See you tomorrow Dragonstrike, sleep well.

Yeah, it's gonna be semi-long.  Though I'm also a tad irked OOC as well because of various IC things.  

I need a little time to simmer down and think about how I want to word this (or maybe even decide that Nathan is just up with all the avoidance of the important issues for varying reasons) and think about how this is going to affect future character interactions... *sigh*

Take your time man. That kind of thing takes time to be made. Welp, gonna go now. Try not overthink much about that. Bye.

I told everyone before hand that Ven wasn't going to be all that sociable with others for awhile, so him not wanting to stick around for non-Anti Scimitar discussions shouldn't be THAT much of a rude surprise. If you really want him there, get Kirlia to stop him and he'll stay, but he's not going to react or offer that much commentary about their short story(ies) beyond directly questioning him about it. Even then, he'll keep his responses concise.

The other reason I had Ven leave was the simple fact that I don't have consistent access to the internet right now AND that my character really no longer has that much bearing on the ongoing conversations after telling his part. Getting him out of the way and setting him off to the side seemed like a good idea to further justify a lack of interaction/response from OOC to IC, but like I said he can stay if you REALLY want him there for story.

It doesn't suprise me that Ven's leaving, really. Forcing him to stay anyway when he doesn't want to and has reasons to not stay feels somehow wrong to me, but it's beyond my control - Shiva will fill him in later, providing another reason why she stays. I could be mean and simply have Shiva go 'I'm having enough now' and follow Ventus' example without the feeling that she's acting too out-of-character at the moment, but I don't want to be mean.

Our priorities simply differ, Dragon. Like, lots as it seems. I will not say that progressing the plot and things is unimportant, but after having followed the plot for weeks now in an epic quest that we even managed to complete, I'd actually enjoy to have a bit of casual time/playing and simply enjoy things instead of soft-jumping into the next big plot-part right away. If you want to do that, please do, none says one can't, but you have to please understand that that's not the case for everyonelse as well. Right now, my and Shiva's priorities lie in exploring Atheneum and as many of its options that it provides that seem useful/neat, returning to the surface as soon as possible to get started on the long list of things to do there, and mending her and Ventus' relationship. Discussions of important topics like what these visions from Lilith might hint us to would and will find their place among these actions, but there are reasons why I usually announce in MetaThread that I'd like for everyone to gather for that sake, asking whether everyone and every chara has time and muse for that instead of simply deciding on things, of course it may result in less favourable or chore-like scenes like the one right now sooner or later.

I'm not feeling that I'll be able to contribute much to the discussion anyway sadly, making me desire to get it done without loooong elaboration additionally - it already took us a full day to set the riddles to prevent the Scimitars from entering, so I'm hoping that discussion won't take just as long or even longer and please bear with me for that sentiment as it's not unwarranted. However, if it'd be fine that I simply continue following my stuff in a flashforward while being in that discussion simultaneously, that would be something that solves things for me. Would that be okay for you as well, @Iron? You showed that you're an experienced GM, so I'm actually eager to hear/read your thoughts whenever we are getting into a conflict to learn how we could prevent history repeating itself.

@Nylon

So, just to ask again since I don't remember seeing you respond to this question yet, was there anything in particular you wanted in exchange for the spare Eviolite?  That's something I'd like to know before I add it to my Inventory tab.

You could offer something, I really don't know what I want.

[Dragonstrike]

It doesn't require serious discussion IC as a full group right now, but I do want everyone IC to at least be aware of what's going on.  These are big plot points that are only getting our feet wet currently.  I don't want this to take too long, but I don't want it to be put off just because 'we can do it later', either.

[Dragonstrike]

I'm working on that story post now, btw.  And yes, Windos, you can expect Kirlia to 'impede' Ventus's departure.

That is something I can get behind, yes, thank you for showing some understanding. But, ehm, if I am allowed to give a bit of friendly advice: Next time if the intention is just updating us on things instead of a full group discussion or the like (which I have expected from how things looked!), please add something like 'It won't take long' in-chara. I know Nathan is not the best with social interactions due to background, but...it would likely have prevented our two charas from being pissed with each other.
