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

[Spiritmon]

Snake Eyes in Damage Roll reduces damage, Spiritmon.

Oh! You right. Sorry about that...

[Spiritmon]

Taking the opportunity...@Mikaruge108, have you decided if you want to join in the Roleplay of the Skull Ruins? That's a moment where everything it's okay and in peace so you could join with no big problems.

But.... It's the Gamemaster who has the last word on a new member or not, and Iron said he prefers to stick with only the four of us for a while now, Spirit. I'd actually like to get to know Terra more as well before we receive a new party member, for me it's yet too early and the wounds of Ventus and Valder leaving are more or less fresh still. It hurts when your favorite character drops out. Someday yes, but right now someone new would overwhelm me a little. Am I the only one who feels this way...?

I would love to join in but no word from Iron on whether or not they're ready. I think I should be able to commit the time necessary for the rp. (and I'm assuming that no word=not ready) as for today, I have to leave soon be back 2morrow.

I wouldn't mind a new player joining up, but at the same time I don't mind waiting awhile before that happens while Iron and everyone in game can fully adjust to the loss of Ventus/Valder. Neither would Terra be all that shocked by the sudden addition of a new group mate, as he's the sort of person that can get used to just about anything quickly, besides being freely gifted things or the more.....extreme or bizarre situations/events. Besides lingering sentiments (they don't impare me or my interactions in and out of game), I've fully moved on from Ven and the conflicts that surrounding him, so Mika joining in sooner rather than later would be of minimal concern to me. 


Just my opinion, though, and I mean no harm by it, so please don't be distressed about it dear....

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Huh, @Lord Windos, why should I be...distressed about it..? No, I'm not. Really, don't worry!~ It's just that I still find myself missing Ventus sometimes all silently, because he was just fun to interact and spend time with. It's saddening that all the things our developed ship could have done together, whether in a romantic manner or not, have bitten the dust and I am forced to let go and move on, but I cannot do more than accepting that and follow that path whether I want to or not, for peace's sake. Now though, please don't feel like I'm blaming you, that's not my intention. I meant it honest though when I once said that Ven leaving kills off some good portion of fun I'm having playing at this virtual table, but it's not like it's sapping everything. Definitely not. Raphael left in my care is a fine way to cope for me and for Shiva herself and I'm very thankful for you/him having done that, the only thing I'm indeed a bit of upset about is that....uh.... well, you know which scene couldn't happen before he left when it would have been such a wonderful finish and a new field to experiment in once in a safe environment. Oh well....

I just wish for some good times spent with Terra, get to know him more and generally RP more with you because I much enjoy your style, that's hopefully not too much to ask for.

….It wasn't exactly an easy choice for me to give up on Ven, my dear. He was quite near and dear to my heart too, and his unique talents, skillset, and perspective/knowledge base made he rather interesting and entertaining to play, but....well, all the issues surrounding him just became to much for me to bear. At least, not without teeth clenched and with bleak, cynical resignation, as I wait for the next shoe to drop and drive Ven further and further over the edge and/or into conflict with Nathan. While my character had wonderful synergy with Shiva, and good ones with Heart and Valder, his with Nathan was......volatile and erratic, to put it lightly, and with how increasingly magical/'supernatural' , dangerous, and hectic things were getting, he'd (and I, by extension) would always be on edge and unhappy to a degree. I knew that being rid of him would.....pain you greatly dear, but I believed it would be the best for both mine and everyone else's long term enjoyment to do it, so that is what I choose to do in the end. Leaving Raphael with Shiva had always been a plan if Ven had to leave, since he wasn't going to let his lovely lady wallow in despair, and neither would his archangel! As for that scene, we'll get to it in due time....

Nothing wrong with getting to know my character a bit more, but he's not going to deliberately seek anyone's company right now unless its to protect them if they go somewhere risky, or they request his presence. His job is to protect and safeguard in the group, and while he wants to be friends with everyone while doing so, he's.....not so good at the socialization required for it. Of course, since Genie agreed to meeting up with Shiva and her Fairies, more interaction between the two character are upcoming in the future, whenever that will be!

Yeah...I still recovering from the depart of Ventus and Valder too. Its not like I have something against Terra Windos, he is a pretty cool character and I always excited to know a new char. But still...I must confess Ventus was my favourite character in this roleplay. After Ventus its Shiva and then Heart. Yeah, I like other characters more than mine. Anyway, Ventus was quite a unique character, with both dark and funny at the same time, and always awesome to see the interactions between Ventus and Heart. Since they both have similar interests like the pokemon world, and go in some cool adventures. So I was trully sad when I see Ventus depart from the party and that wound still gonna take some time to recover....but then again, its not like I deslike Terra, I think he is a interesting and cool character to know and interact too and I cant wait to see the backstory of such character! And for future interactions between them!

And Phantom, as I told here, I too still recovering from the wound of lost two member of our party, but if Iron decide to let Mikaruge join in the party, I would not have any problem with that. In fact I would think it would be awesome to have another member in the team to interact with and have good scenes along with some awesome battle scenes! At least is what I think...But I understand your position Phantom.

And Mikaruge, if you have any question about the roleplay, you can ask anyone here to help. Even me. I sometimes misplaced the informations in the past, but I get use to them. Dont hesitate in ask.

[Iron]

Yeah never invite someone to an RPG without GM permission! What they've said is accurate - I want Terra's position to solidify first before I decide. It could be weeks of realtime.
