I'd say using the Ally Background would be the easiest transition I can think of.

I'm waiting on Lily since Rysha is speaking with her. I don't want to interrupt a conversation.

You guys feel free to RP, consider the interlude a stand alone fiction separate from the main plot, so it will count as XP when the next tally is done up.

Peleps Ahroun will eventually provide you guys with some answers for questions that you have. I'm just trying not to railroad you into A,B,C,D with no opportunity for RP and fun time.

Smee...yar. Sorry. Less time than I anticipated last couple of days. I shall post shortly.

No hurry. Life's to short to rush things.

FYI I am giving the girls some private RP time, Callum will rejoin when appropriate.

You can come back anytime.

Hey Dave...hee. I read your update, and only just now realized you might have had something specific in mind for the clothes we found.

Eeee. Sorry. You can always kick me when that happens, and I'll go back and edit.

Also, by "Dynast patrician," he surely doesn't mean Mei?

Not at all. I included the clothes thing to once again try to show the difference between his personality and Quinns and how Quinn seems to always be 'babysitting' him in terms of maturity. Makes you wonder how Peleps is the 'Boss' eh?

Had it been up to Ahroun, yes, the ladies would most likely be in dental floss and half shell coconuts. Thank Quinn later. Heh.

And yes... he means Mei.

Wacky!

Okay. I'll assume you have your reasons and leave it at that.

I'm now in possession of the Abyssals 2ed book.

Be affwaid, be vewy afwaid.

Rysha hasn't been feeling well, I've been giving her some time to get better. I'll most likely have something this weekend for everyone.

Meep. Abyssals.

I return! Mostly. Paper and illness having been vanquished, I'm back. Thanks for being so patient with me, all.

Glad to know your feeling better. Welcome back.

When Ahroun and Callum finish dick waving we can move on to the visiting of Elsbeth. If you guys like we can just run that as a separate fiction.

If you have suggestions or want to start just lemme know or just start it.

*points at Ahroun* He started it! :P

A separate fiction might be good.

That way we can contribute to both the Elsbeth scene and keep the action moving in the main scene, simultaneously.

So are we fictioning or inposting?

I don't know. No one's expressed an opinion yet.

I like the fiction idea, if we can coordinate, otherwise posting.

You?

fiction seems fine - I'd rather move the main story along than wait for somethign we can no doubt handle on the side

Max - did you want to start the fiction or shall one of us?

Mew. Sorry. I have a question for the PC's.

After a discussion with Rev about the topography of the area around the town, I discovered that we can't really get there in the whirlwind without being pretty obvious about it. There's no convenient forest or natural obscurement or cover we could exploit.

So!

The question is: Do we want to expose ourselves as Solars and go in, sorcery blazing? Or would we prefer to take the long walk, and just say bye to our oracular friend more privately?

That said, I'd be happy to start the fic, and will do so immediately after this is answered.

Callum likes long walks in the forest

Also he enjoys icy rum and coconut drinks

Considering you two seem to be the only players at the moment, May as well get it started and we'll go from there.

Is Rysha's player gone for good or indeterminate?

Have you had any bites for new members?

I've seen Rysha online every now and then. That's why I'd hoped she'd reply here.

I'll open the story tonight after work regardless though.

I'm here. Though I don't necessarily check the forums more than once a day unless I either have a lot of free time, or I'm actively looking for something.

I'm alive and kicking, though the last week has been more than a little mad-cap; still recovering from having to go out of town on very short notice, which does crappy things when one is both in school and working.

Anyway, I'm definitely still a player (and do check the forums daily, though usually just the once a day unless I'm doing better than usual).

Yay!

Welcome back!

Aye, welcome back.

Umm is Rysha and Lou Anne the same person? I'm a bit confused as to whom is who...

*laughs* No, we're not. Though I can see your confusion.

Exalted is done until further notice. I'll be away for awhile.

I'm working on something for the game and I need to tie up a few loose end before we continue.

The game is back on, for those not paying attention. My bad for not posting this a bit sooner.

I'm inclined to say "end scene" where we are, it's a touch of a sad ending but I think it works given everything that has happened. If you all don't agree lemme know and I'll post something up. Otherwise I'll be happy to move forward

Aight by me.

Closing post up for Homecoming, unless someone has anything to add.

Apologies for my lack of availability lately, by the way. I should get to be a bit more regular now.

An update is coming, the next chapter will be starting soon. For now, give yerselves 8XP for the Homecoming fic.

Sorry to say, I'm not going to be able to return to/continue in the game. I've already notified Revenant.

Thanks.
