Did you actively recruit them? Like how did this come about?

[Captain Awesome]

I roleplayed with him a while back while I was still getting the hang of the art on a RWBY RP site. Him and I kept in touch over the years and recently he asked to do a roleplay with me for practice in a particular topic.
He liked the way I wrote and asked if I had any recent work he could check out. I mentioned this one as my most current and so he took a look at it.
He also asked if him and I could start a separate one. Of course, I told him I'm a bit busy with this one, since we're controlling more and more characters, but that we are short-handed here.

[VindicatedPurpose]

Oh cool. They won't join us until April 15th?

Alrighty then. Anyway, where do we stand on the posts?

Edit:

They may not be required to read through all of it. You can hand them a synopsis and maybe let them read the last two or three pages.

[Captain Awesome]

Apparently so.

Tyce is still busy, it seems and our men are still tracking their quarry, though surely, a bit slowly now since I'm having trouble pressing through my current slump.

[VindicatedPurpose]

Try not to make it too complicated. We have so many moving parts in play. I just remembered that I kind of bypassed Hans/Ya'weh/Zoni's arrival in Khi'ir with Iyoka's post. Technically, they should have arrived before her.

There's multiple ways we can work around this. Either we go with it and H/Y/Z arrived late for some other reason. Or we can skip the arrival scene and just jump to the fact that they are already in the city. Because not every moment, however mundane, has to be written down and recorded unless it is significant to the story. AKA the Chekhov's Gun principle.

[Captain Awesome]

Wasn't Iyoka sent for before everything with Kail and Tumhathil was set in motion?

That's not a bad idea. Though, I kinda wanted to show the departing conversation between Hans and his two new friends before they ran back into each other again. 'spose I can do that through a quick memory though.

[VindicatedPurpose]

God that avatar. lol. Ugh. That wasn't laugh out loud, that was me throwing my hands up via letters.

At this point, it's up to you, I'm just trying to maintain continuity. We established on page 31 of the OOC that Iyoka left on the 10th, while H/Y/Z left on the 9th. So, unless a storm happened or their ship captain sucks, or mermen.

[Captain Awesome]

Isn't it perfect? :'D
I believe you were looking for: L(o_oL)

Right, I forgot about that. Good to go.
I really don't want to push them back an entire DAY, since that puts the three of them ANOTHER day behind everyone else-the Kail crew included-so I'm going to go the memory route, though it'll be rather sloppy.

[Tyce]

Well, I am not sure what to do. I haven't been able to schedule time to write in ages. I have spring break coming up but in my day to day schedule, there isn't much time for me to be writing...

[VindicatedPurpose]

@Tyce

What does that mean?

Are you lost on how to progress?

Or are you throwing in the towel?

[VindicatedPurpose]

Updates:

I just added an NPC profile for Iyoka Rhiakosh, Huo's old friend, who is currently chasing him because she's a bounty hunter.

I am finishing up an NPC profile for Penth, who you will find out soon enough. Though, he's been around since the beginning, for those of you who were not as perceptive.

Also working on a few posts since I don't know where you guys stand as far as posts go.

@Cap

I swear, if you're trying to break some kind of wordcount record I wi-

No but seriously, where are you at? What's your post covering?

It's been almost a month since we last left our heroes.

[Captain Awesome]

Execute 'Recovery.exe'

Got moved from my tool room back into maintenance again and immediately was put in the schoolhouse for our new UAV platform as my lady friend came to visit for a couple weeks. ...I~never got any word from Tyce, so I assume he died too and, while I was smart enough to save the post I had been working on so I myself could rise back from the dead, I~don't think he is. ;-;

That leaves us alone together, Vin. The lonely DM and his zombie underling on-I think-week 4 or 5 of this post which, while it's long, is by no means breaking records. What do you think about the current situation?

[VindicatedPurpose]

We need more people. Maybe two more super dedicated and creative folks like yourself. What happened to your friend who wanted to join up?

As for myself, I've got some final exams and papers converging on next week. So don't expect posts, but I'm here to chat, like always.

[Captain Awesome]

I'll have to ask him for a sitrep and get back to you about him.

I didn't expect any anyway, considering the current lack in personnel. :P

[VindicatedPurpose]

After the 10th, I'll probably be more available. I don't know how our posting will resume then. What kind of pace will we have? Once a week? You think we could twice a week?

[Captain Awesome]

I dunno. Probably closer to once per week for me for the average. I don't know if you noticed, but I tend to work in spurts, were I'll be able to do one or two posts in quick succession and then a longer gap when I either have to wait or I've written a lot.
Has a Mr. 'Nobel Eagle' gotten in touch with you yet? I told him to post on here or message you a few days ago.

[VindicatedPurpose]

Hmm, between the two of us as GMs, we should be able to cover two posts per week. I think that might be enough to keep things going.

The difficult part is trying to keep newer people in the loop of things. That's certainly something I've got to work on.

Nobel Eagle?

Have not heard word from them. I will let you know if he does, though.

[Captain Awesome]

A'ight, I'll go tell him again.

[Noble Eagle]

Howdy folks. I'm the new guy the good captain was talking about.
