state of the muse, also, bleah.

[valentinite]

Because I went back to work today despite still being sick, I am doing memes instead of a) running Taura around like a crazy thing or b) looking at Lana's thread, since I'm too tired to do the cross-checking I still need when posting her. Tomorrow morning, I promise. There will be laptop onna train

Comments

No worries about the thread! I'm kind of sick myself, so taking a break is fine by me.

[valentinite]

Thanks. I can suck it up and manage posts for my other characters, but she's too new to do without being able to read over it with an alert eye.

And, well, RP is a great work stress valve until it hits the point of ack too many things in all of my inboxes ack ack.

[burningvigor]

Yeah, having a brand new character is always a little stressful, so I get it.

It can start to feel overwhelming at times, yeah. I've been having fun with our thread, though! I'm glad we got the chance to do it.

[valentinite]

Oh, me too -- Harvey's been a great person to bounce her off of.

And I hope you feel better soon! I would probably be mostly better if I hadn't gone to work, but there's only so far behind I wanted to get.

; ; I'm sorry I'm such a slow tagger this NS for some reason.

Also, I love that you used the cat icon for Taura. XD

[valentinite]

No worries. It wasn't aimed at anyone in particular except myself -- I'm one of the slower taggers in game, and I appreciate people putting up with me. Right now she just needs to run over and find out there's SCers in the way the other way as well, which just takes me pulling up all the posts and doing some solo reactions.

I couldn't resist, since I hadn't had a chance to use it yet.

[murasaki_kaze]

Pfft, icon♥

And yeah, sorry for just, uh, blurting out orders there. After I'd posted, I ran off to do some work and was thinking "DAMMIT, I SHOULD HAVE COORDINATED FIRST" but by then it was too late. u_u Hopefully this lets people move at their own pace though. I'm not sure what's going on with the other end, but once people come back together, I think I might talk to Tad and just move the group forward.

I love those cats. I need to make some for my characters, too. Right now all I have is my personal one (see icon) which is how I look about 99% of the time.

[valentinite]

I should add more RP icons to this account. I keep trying to use them when talking about characters and they aren't there.

Orders = good. Taura was close to doing so herself or just going off on a scouting mission, except that she wasn't in charge, so she was mainly hinting. If she's not on her way back when things are ready to move, PM me and I can try to race her. But I'll try to get it done in the morning, since it should be straightforward once I get my brain in gear.

*Clings to S.T., Taura, and Lana* <333333 I'm glad you plan to keep them around. :3

[valentinite]

It's okay! We can have a "Never Getting Castmates" party. :D

[valentinite]

\o/ I don't mind doing the lone canon warrior thing, really. But being in a cast is a new and different experience too.

Some of it is that I'm really picky about characters to play -- I have to love both the character and their canon -- that's one reason Ziggy will probably forever be on the only-with-infinite-time list -- because I liked Xenosaga, but I didn't love it, and never finished the third game due to getting distracted and never coming back.

I am looking forward to Lunge-and-Lana like you would not belief. L-named stoics with emotionally estranged families unite?

[valentinite]

So am I!

Question: whichever of us gets the first post up to breakfast, is it okay to assume Lana sits down at a table where Lunge already is? Because my plan is for her to walk in, spot Ema from a distance, and grab a seat surrounded by people.

[wariena]

That's totally fine with me, especially since I might not be able to get a post out as early as you. *is epic slow tagger*

[valentinite]

I'm epic slow too -- that's why I wanted to make sure I could get the initial post up ASAP so we have time to get somewhere. And since sometimes one of the times I do have to post is at ~7am on the train to work, which is a very quiet time at damned.
