[Rail] Academy City OOC Thread III: Electromagnetic Hyper-cannon Go!

[Lady Serpentine]

Except the 'person' at hand here is Academy City. A clone going crazy and breaking one of their projects is considered somewhat of a success.

Furthermore, not using cloning because of this one particular incident is like not using electricity because one time, it caused a fire that burned down a couple of guest rooms. Yes, that's literally what it's like for them.

If I could please have an answer to what you want to do with Ina and Kasai, that would be delightful...

[Lord-Cao-Cao]

Errr...I did, didn't I? It was in a post awhile back.

And I don't really know-I moved the day forward, so I'll leave the rest to you.

You asked what they were doing, but that's all I've seen on that, unless you posted something IC...

[Lord-Cao-Cao]

I did post IC.

[Lady Serpentine]

Okay, IC post is up. I'd been sort of hoping to get Ina introduced IC to some of Kasai's contacts, but that would be happening yesterday anyway, so if we do that, there's no particular reason not to be running the stuff from the next morning at the same time...

Hmm, three days without posts. Looks like it's time for the standard message:

If anyone wishes to post but is currently being prevented from doing so by something in the game, please speak up. Whether you're blocked by some IC obstacle, confused about some aspect of the plot, or simply having trouble finding a place for your characters, feel free to say so. Even if you're just waiting for another player to act, a simple reminder can often clear up misunderstandings. Sometimes players will unwittingly start waiting on each other, or just get distracted by other scenes. These and other problems are usually best solved as a group, rather than by hoping silently for the situation to change.

I'll start: I'm currently waiting on Terry and Animekid.

[Mina Kobold]

Ack, sorry. I had a lot of work in a short time and forgot.

Mostly, I am now just debating how to have Yua react to a room full of gruesome murder. My first thought would be being paralysed with fear, but that would obviously be kind of dangerous.

Thus, either Yua disappears almost entirely, which is safest but may be too out of character for Yua, or Yua becomes so present that everybody is forced to listen. That latter one might be a bit too suicidal, though, depending on what is going on. ^_^'

Any suggestions, Anyr?

There's no need to decide against an action just because it's dangerous IC. Remember, this isn't a game of D&D. Freeform PCs don't die unless their owners wish it. If your first thought was that Yua would freeze with fear, then by all means go with that. It's not as if she'd be attempting some massively implausible action that requires the story to bend over backwards in order to accommodate it; All she needs is a little good luck.

[Lady Serpentine]

I'm waiting on Lord C, but I'm pretty sure they have IRL stuff going on.

Also, my main computer is down, so I'm posting from my netbook. Hopefully it'll be cleared up soon, but if not, sorry for any delays.

Okies, just wanted to make sure it would not be too ridiculous to survive without doing anything to prevent being hit (other than being a walking failed-a-spot-check generator.)

There. First [IC] post complete.

Finally.

[KerfuffleMach2]

So I've been thinking of having Krystal do something that will further expand on her backstory and characteristics and such.

The details of it all depend on the answer to the following question.

What month is it?

AFAIK, it's never been directly stated. When the game started, it was supposedly set in the middle of winter. But over time the exact season began to matter less and less. We've gradually gone from students fighting through flurries of snow while wrapped in thick coats, to them enjoying long sunny days in summer uniforms. So, what month is it? Apparently it's whichever one you like.

By the way, apologies for my slow replies lately. Things are a little busy right now.

Based on that, it could potentially be late winter/early spring with exceptionally fast changes. Those happen sometimes, particularly these days with global warming kicking in. ^_^

Alternatively, we could stick to midwinter and simply blame the sunny days on Esper powers or the Academy City AC being tested or making errors. In fact, that could even be a minor plot if anyone is interested?

Whichever possibility fits Krystal best is probably the funnest choice, though. No need to get all canon-blasting on someone's ideas.

Exactly. The time of year hasn't been relevant for ages, after all.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Well, the thing I had in mind required it to be some time in September, October, or November. So, if nobody objects to that, I'm just gonna pick one and go with it.

[AnimeKid]

I'm cool with it.

I have like half a post written.

[Duos]

I'm waiting for Moroe and Shiki to reach a suitable point for Yori to step in and be a ****. Also, general workload issues.

My god, being a physics major is so much work. I hope it's worth it, writing a lab report every week and studying quantum mechanics is so draining I have no idea how I keep going.

Fortunately, as I have a break coming up very shortly, I should be able to post a bit more frequently for a little while, during which time I SHOULD be able to (finally) get my next suite of characters uploaded to the wiki for the next arc. I look forward to it, I have a few gems stashed away in the one part of my brain not overloaded with probability density equations.

[Lord-Cao-Cao]

Terry man, hurry up and post. You've said you were writing a post for like, the past week now, including yesterday, and you haven't even posted once.

STOP PLAYING BORDERLANDS 2 ALL DAY WHARERERERERGLGLGLL

[171873124Giarc]

What colors are taken (for in character posts)?

Borderlands 2? You poor, doomed soul.

Pretty sure you're free to use whatever color you want. At least, I've never been informed of any color restrictions.

Wanna know what else I was doing?

• Senior Year Project
• Project for Economics

• Trying To Spanish with only one year of study for Spanish 3
• Making up a class I failed
• College applications

I have been busy all of November. Fortunately, I am free now.

Post will be up soon.

[Anyr]

IC post updated. Once again, apologies for the delay.

[Lord-Cao-Cao]

Ummm...Where has everybody gone? I know it's finals week for you Americans-Is that it?

I've been wondering the same thing myself.

[Terry576]

My finals are in a week or two. I am just busy dying in projects

i'll post tomorrow though

[Felyndiira]

I couldn't find a spot for Shiho to do anything at the moment, so I'm waiting for a few more people to act before I make a post.

Ditto for Kin. Hmm, I wonder if everyone in that scene is thinking the same thing...

Partiallly that, partially prep work for my brother's Eagle Ceremony next week.
