[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Spiritmon]

Don't want to sound like a jerk, but how much it will takes to return to the plot? I mean, me thinks everyone already make their posts, and I would love to continue the story. You don't always have to wait everyone make their posts Dragonstrike. Anything important you just do a flashback.

I already lost count in how much time we been doing this, and I truly want to continue the plot.

Edit: God damn it! Wrong thread!

Wrong thread, mate.

However, there is a significant delay here too, sooo...

WELP, I finally managed to break through the demotivating haze I've been in and pushed through to publish the long, LONG awaited continuation of my campaign....by abruptly cutting all the Encounters mostly short and introducing a new Event. After doing a review of things I decided I needed to push myself and everyone forward, and what better way than some nebulous but dire problem big enough to reach all across Bayhama? Truth be told I've also been busy with a LOT of other stuff IRL too, and I figured a sort of 'soft reset' of things was in order so I would not continue to be caught in a lurch and can do something for everyone all at once. I'll tell you right now this Event won't subtract from any of the one you get per day by default, though depending on how you react to it that may be subject to change and development....

That aside, I would like to say this: I'm deeply sorry for the wait. I hope to god another one like this doesn't happen again and I can schedule things better for myself without burnout, getting too distracted, or my job and free time fighting for attention and willpower I have left at the end of every day going against my campaign. In the future I plan on announcing any big hiatus, either immediately or a few days after a big enough pause between schedule posting sessions. All said, I'm probably not going to be posting until later this evening though, and not tomorrow or Monday - got another long shift, and then some more errands I've been putting off for one of my days off. I'll try to come up with some content in the meantime to make up for the loooong wait - I'm free to any suggestions you have about what THAT will entail, though it may be subject to modification if what you're asking for is too spoilery or irrelevant to your PCs.

For now, I'm signing off and getting myself some nap time - posting will resume when it can, as FAST as it can.

All good my dearest dear, I'm not mad or sad or anything at you for having taking so long to progress - am more like very very glad that you're okay and managed to break through nasty writer's block AND found the time + mindset to type up some stuff!~ I kinda just wish errands, your job and IRL-stuff would leave you more free time to do things you enjoy, but dem the breaks, I guess. Here's cue for a very angry fist at anything that keeps my OTP more busy and distracted than what's needed or healthy, leave 'em alone once and for all!

Lots and LOTS of positive vibes and my tender love+care to you too, sending you every bit of mental energy I can bring up! (ﾉ v_v)ﾉ:｡･:*:･ﾟ’★,｡･:*:･ﾟ’☆ Because that's the least I can do for you over the distance! Do sleep well and sound, and may your long shift and errands go by fastly and without any issues. (っ˘з(˘⌣˘ )❤

If you can announce any big hiatuses or breaks as you say you're planning to, that'd be very appreciated indeed, many thanks! Leaves more room for planning that way, and gives something to look forward to.

I do have a whole and long scene of Bernhard reconciling/rebonding with Zephy typed up and saved as a draft that I've edited, reviewed and tweaked numerous times, so please do allow for that to take place as an Encounter Slots once she's up and awake again from her hangover!

No problem mate, take your time friend. I will make my post to return the plot.

I will be busy throughout today with errands, so I won't be getting to posts specifically tonight. HOWEVER, I will not a few things for a few players to keep in mind and draft things up in advance, if they so wish:

- Dragonstrike and Spiritmon, your character are going to be part Dodger's crew while you guys investigate the Pokemon Center you're heading towards. The scene will have the building cordoned off from the public by the police, with a nervous crowd of Trainers and civillians just past it. In addition, their are medical tents stationed nearby, for those that rushed to the Center for aid and need treatment ASAP. Dodger will be working getting things sorted out with the suits, leaving you two to do some groundwork first or assist with the medics.
- Phantom....well, not much I can do with you right now , since things are already almost to the meat of things. All I can say is that the man never properly introduced himself - too worried, anxious, and then overeager to actually remember to share his name with you - and he'll bring out tea and biscuits for you to dine with as he lets tries to be a proper host and let you organize your thoughts with any questions and plans you might have. He's also okay with you having your Mons out in his house.
- Iron, the Life and Costal Guard would pick up on your nervousness and feeling peer pressures, and try their best to allay it all, reiterating that it's OKAY not to get involved if you don't think this is the sort of task for you. Otherwise, if you still agree, they'll point you towards the Docks nearest to the beach and the Pokemon Center that had been Ghosted some ways from it - there is where volunteers are heading to be organized and given/taking tasks.
- Mika, Aaron wants you to meet with him at the nearest (active) Pokemon Center ASAP, and has given you explicit instructions NOT to get involved in things without hearing from the others and him poking his nose into things to make sure it's okay for them to help without causing a stir. The trip itself can count as a Random Encounter if you wish, or you can abstain from getting into things until later
- Redstone, not much to add here: decide what your PC wants to do, and I'll get to it when I can!

That's all for now; I may add this to the Game Thread later, but I'll DEFINATELY do a better job setting the scene for you. I just wanted to give you some info to work with while I'm gone until tonight! If you have any questions, however, ask them - I should be able to get to them promptly on my phone!

So, Pokekitty's character is on a diplomatic mission too, eh?  I'm sure this'll be an interesting parallel to Seddi's own mission(s)!

[Pokekitty2]

I don't know how all else to let y'all know, so I'm putting this here:

I won the Master Ball in the lottery today, and it's being handed around in the Uranium General discord. I think Globe_Trotter has it atm? But yeah - if y'all wanna hop on that train, go ahead  I'm very excited to share my booty

Ah, and Dragonstrike - we shall have to see. Though I suspect my reasons for heading to the Embassy differ vastly from yours

[Redstone]

palatable aura you say. That rings a bell

[Pokekitty2]

Alrighty @Dragonstrike and Windos:
I actually have no clue what Synchronization would entail, look like, be described as, or do here. Thoughts?
