[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

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.
