@Thin

Is Seatus supposed to timewarp alpha squad in then? Also I'm sort of stuck on where Axis should be going from here, I want him more involved with the fights, but he was more introduced in a political manner.

@Gzilla

Actually, Axis is perfect where he is. It's fine that he's in a political situation right now, because since this is an origins story, we can explore how he became the villain he usually is.

Also, Alpha Squad still exists, so there is no need to teleport them. The reason they stuck around for several hundred years was the simple fact that they were in stasis on the Skylark for about that long while it traveled.

The events of RtC were made possible by the invention of the FTL drive some time after the events of Spiral Knights. Before then, travel was a good deal slower and required that the crews be put in stasis during the journey.

WAIT!

Seatus, we weren't supposed to have read any of that second post you had? Well, at least it turned out I was right in the end.

It doesn't matter now. It never happened, nor is going to. I have to tone down on my story, or it'll turn too intense and explode everything.

Wait...

Could this final fight with diablo occur after a time lapse, preferably about 4-6 years later? Astraea still has to mother Ikaros (don't worry, none of that will be in the RP) and if she dies now, how can she?

Well, I had a bit of spare time, so...

Here's some Gwen art

I'll post something on the story thread soon. You guys post story posts faster than Astraea and Kirito can reply to them... >.<

Soooo uh. . .

I don't know if I can keep up with all the posts. I was going to have a small part of plot revolvivng around Dagoon, because "Hey, do you know what cradle is? (Other dude:) Isn't that something to carry a baby? (Dagoon) No! It's a inconveniently named planet, and most of it is mechanical! (Switchswitch boom)
Well, you could try talking to the town elder (Yeah that's a thing) Good Luck, whoever you are."
The reason I haven't been posting recently: A youtube channel called TableTop, and a Minecraft Modpack called Hexxit.
Soooooo. . . Dagoon's more or less a side character. Dagoon's up for grabs, If anyone is willing to do her story.

It's not too late, Liminori. Just introduce Dagoon and get going.

Quick question

Is it alright if I add a lost soul as an unofficial member of Euclid's squad?

What does it add to the story?

I kinda sorta did, but I'm not sure what to do from here.

@Liminori

Find Dragoon's role, or niche, in the story. Why is she here, and what are her goals?

Thu, 07/04/2013 - 13:35

#316

Liminori

Isn't that obvious?

Do whatever she can to get home. Of course, time/space travel isn't very easy to accomplish, and therefore she'd only be able to leave at the very end, accomplishing this feat with a machine someone helped make, and the crystalizer. (Which of course, Dagoon won't be very pleased about)

@Kaiju

From your last post you said Xindao and Gwen were the last Valentine's, but Axis and Diablo are still alive. So is it a specific grudge against Gwen's part of the family or the whole Valentine clan?

Thu, 07/04/2013 - 13:36

#318

Thinslayer

@Gzilla

That fact didn't escape my notice, either. I'm pretty sure it's against the whole Valentine clan, and Kaiju just slipped up. But let's wait and see how he/she reacts.

Darn it, Kaiju! I must know - are you male or female?

Oi, sorry!

Vogdammit, I just noticed that problem! Sorry, I'll edit my post.

@thin; *wink* I don't usually give info over the Internet, but I'll just say that you should easily be able to figure it out if you investigate a bit.

@Vinnydime: I ate 'em already. I'll be fishing stuff out of my teeth all day now. xD But they were quite delicious.

@Kaijuhunter: I already did some investigation, but between your focus on female characters and your other username deathscythe###, I still can't figure it out. :P

Thu, 07/04/2013 - 13:52

#322

Kaijuhunter

Hmm, really? Still can't figure it out?

Its somewhere on my DA profile... but if you still cant figure it out... Can't help you there. Although i must inquire; for what reasons doth thou require such information about my gender?

@Kaijuhunter

I inquire so I don't have to keep calling you he/she/it/DARNITWHATGENDERAREYOU/transgender/Kaijuhunterwithanametoolongtospellallthetime/Kaiju/Kihunter.

@everyone: Nai-Chan modified my photo of Gwenyvier. She is now summoning a fireball! Do you like it? :D

Hmm

Fine. I'm a boy. I'd prefer if you just referred to me as Kaiju-San, though

Thu, 07/04/2013 - 14:18

#325

Thinslayer

@Kaiju-San?

Thank you, that helps. If my own gender is unclear to anyone else, I'm a guy.

Kaiju-San takes a little longer to spell than Kaijuhunter; am I understanding you correctly?

Travid

@Thinslayer

He'll probably just stick around for this one time, then leave. Once everyone's out, Hegrand's gone. He is, in fact, a lost soul. Travid will probably just give him directions to the nearest graveyard and be off.

Thu, 07/04/2013 - 15:03

@Travid

Okay, as long as he stays a minor character.

(Just to be clear, Seatus looks like his human form, besides the Snarbolock Wings....and his photo.....I'm changing it again...Here and ignore the pencil neck, and try to imagine a bit better of a build...and the tinged hair...and you got Seatus)

@Seatus

Have you seen these ones?
Not bad, right? A bit young, tho.
This one doesn't strike me as being Seatus, but it kinda fits the bill.
This one even has your theme on it. I like this one.

lawl

thin: yeah! XD everyone keeps mistaking me for a guy @a@ (not the first time though) do i act so much like a guy? X'D, also i'm having a bit of a writer block+ i usually get bored on long speeches/council meetings in every single story (in mangas and animes i always tend to skip them if there arent any plot twist statements such as (("i am your father!" or..."we found out that person A is a traitor!" or such..)) so yeah! also i've been a bit busy lately ~drawing and such~ so sorry if i'm not posting as much this past couple of days XD

seatus: i'm going to sleep lawl ~.~

Thinslayer

@Nai-Chan

Actually, it's not your actions that make you seem boyish as much as it is the gender of your character and profile picture. But I must say that your style of writing was rather unusual for a "guy," though. xD

You should be seeing quite a bit of drama and tension in this council meeting, so I find it quite unfortunate that it bored you.

Fri, 07/05/2013 - 19:07

Callis-The-Wicked

@Thinslayer

I think it's time for some chaos, don't you? Attackers, tanks, something that disrupts the Council meeting.

We gots to insert conflict, or a clue, OR SOMETHING! This story can't die o.o

#344

Thinslayer

@Seatus

Don't worry, there's some action planned. The council is almost done; if they approve Gwen's proposed plan, the action will resume.

But we could still interrupt the council with some action, if you want. I have a few ideas;
*Diablo could respond to Axis's call and come to the council building.
*Servants (hitmen) from the Valentine clan could abduct someone.
*The Triumvirate or Rogue Valkries could launch a counter attack to eliminate those who know of their operation.

Any other ideas?

Fri, 07/05/2013 - 19:45

#345

Callis-The-Wicked

Mmmh

*Disruption from an armed assassin entering the Council room.
*Lockdown within the Council building, causing mayhem.
*Revelation reveals tunnels under the Council Building, causing chaos and distrust.
*Diablo locks down building and enters to behold the Game Changer via killing a few guards within a surveillance room.
*Betrayal of a Council member.

Anyone else up for some brainstorming...?

Oh man...

I just had a positively wicked idea.

Fri, 07/05/2013 - 20:07

Well, get on with the wicked. I feel like the story is losing value unless the characters get their chances to prove something.

I wrote it down on the story thread. You're up first!

[assuming you've read it:] Can you guess who it is?

Fri, 07/05/2013 - 20:21

#349

Callis-The-Wicked

Well of course

Gwenyvier, the Finder. But I assume all of this can be done, since the Star Dragon can patch up the mess Seatus is bound to make...

Twilight is best pony!

Man I'm bored. Unfortunately, I can't post anything because there is really nothing left to do. If you had gone with the armed assassin idea, it would have been perfect, as the Triumvirate could have sent Otto to eliminate everyone that had something to do with the attack on the storage facility. They wouldn't have known he was part of it and that plan would've worked in his favour. But I digress, the current storyline is cool.
