    I am mostly waiting on people here, but I do believe Torahiko and Margrave never finished their chat.

    I met a girl with a really pensive look. I walk up to her, put a fifty cent coin in her hand, "For your thoughts. I know the going rate is supposed to be one, but I figure you play hardball."

    She gave it back, "Keep it. Pretty sure a guy with your charm can find a way to have them for free anyway."

    It's still a thing insofar as people are interested in making it a thing.

    For you, cardrian, I'd say there's a fairly obvious advancement track of continuing Torahiko's interaction with Margrave, as Kuroimaken happens to be consistently active. I'm pretty sure that as long as you keep replying to Kuroimaken, he will keep replying to you.

    The question is: do you have characters who are not involved in the same event as KD's characters, and can hence act independent of that part of the game?

    If yes, what are you waiting for?

    The cliffnotes: Katsuo is apparently contaminated by some sort of Hollowification process resulting from their fight with Felicia. People are trying to contain him and find a way to reverse the process, because if they don't, then the Shinigami are definitely going to kill him. So far he's thrown a Royal Guardsman through a building. We were basically waiting on Chuck to dive into Katsuo's soulscape in an attempt to reverse the process while everyone else tries to contain the damage.

    And look, don't worry about it. What's important is that you came back.

    That should do it, yeah. We'll just have to nudge Strawbs to respond for the moment and on the next turn operation souldive is a go.

    I'm sorry I waited for so long, but this is something I finally have to address. I just really don't have the inspiration to keep going on this, and I don't feel like forcing it is going to help.

    So I'm putting Kuroi in charge of my characters, and anyone else as needed. Sorry to drop out at this juncture but... I just don't have it anymore.

    Well, as sad as it is to see you go Strawbs, I don't really have the right to keep you from doing it.

    With that said, therein lies a significant problem. I simply do not have the flexibility it would take to write all of your characters. In the interest of keeping the story going, I would like to ask if anyone that has been around for a significant amount of time or with a significant enough interest in seeing this story through would like to take over for Strawbs' characters. Momoka and Katsuo are of particular interest due to the plots they're invested in.

    I won't say I'm necessarily shocked. Still sad, though. I'll catch you around, Strawbs.

    I can try to pitch in but obviously it'd be a bit awkward for me, especially for Katsuo.

    Hey.

    Back again.

    How are things progressing here?

    Is there maybe some way I can get back in with Sarah, at least for a little bit. I've got a couple ways to fluff and respec her a little bit, make her a bit less problematic, becuase in hindsight she did not come across the way I wanted her too.

    Of course, whether or not those ideas work depends on how much time has passed in Las Noches since she and her minders started waiting at the library and then vanished into limbo.

    The main threads are all but dead at the moment. Kuroimaken and KnightDisciple might work it out, but I don't see an easy easy for you to get in the heat of things, unless you want to try playing one of Strawberryman's characters.

    There also is/was a sidestory called Beachdown Apocalypse which was mostly between me and Kuroi and fell inactive because I haven't gotten over my writer's block. We could throw Sarah in there if you want.

    To wit, the situation is as follows:

    Ishinomori Koutarou, Commander-General of Gotei, found himself at a beach somewhere on Earth. Experimentation has revealed to him that he appears to be in a human body, under a limiter and ~5 years in the past. After sleeping in Sillankorva shelter for the night, it is now 2nd of April, the weather is chilly and Koutarou is heading to the police station to possibly get himself an identity in the mortal world.

    Possible ways to involve Sarah:

    1) she was at the beach too, she has lost her necklace (similar to how Koutarou can't use his Zanpakutou due to being in a human body) and has followed Koutarou because Koutarou is the only spiritual being she can sense.
    2) this is an Alt!Sarah who is five years younger and she's visiting the city with her mentor.

    Feel free to make your own suggestions.

    Is timeline synch nessesarily an issue here?

    One of the issues with Sarah that I remember was that I didn't define her powers very well, leading to confusion and that her "exploding" seemed arbitrary.

    The solution for that is basically that she was made to eat part of one of those "animal hollows" for lack of other food offscreen and actually taking a hollowfied soul into her body played hell with her energy absorption and evoltion powers--No more passive energy absorption(meaning that she's just got armor for protection), no more non-hollow related evoltuion, and she's just instead slowly progressing along the "hollow" paths with how far along she's been dependant on how much time has actually passed in Hueco Mundo and whether or not she's eaten anymore hollow flesh/souls while keeping her over all power level roughly where it was.

    Her personality issues would be solved by a combination of Svetlana having managed to find just the right carrot and stick and combination thereof to get inside Sarah's shell and possibly "taking her out into the desert to find out what it's like to be a hollow."

    The "hollow" evolution path, about midway through, involved her sort of absorbing her mother's bracelet into her body(as part of both herself and her Fullbring becoming more Hollow-like) so if she somehow ended up in past-earth after that happened but before she figured out how to fullbring with what is now part of her body, that would fit the first criteria.(I'm not sure if sealing her other uses of Fulbring or Reiatsu would also be nessesary.)

    Edit: Found th elink, i'ts out of continuity(unless that changed?) so timeline is not at all an issue.

    The premise of the Beachdown Apocalypse was that an entity from outside time whisked characters on the same beach, so no, timeline is not an issue expect within the thread. Sarah could be months from Koutarou's future and it would work just fine. It's not even clear which exact point of time Koutarou himself is from in the Gaiden thread - I've been presuming that he's from the point just before Katsuo went berserk and wrecked the hospital.

    Okay, that sounds like a plan.

    I'm reading through the thread on and off to get an idea of where it is and right now(beginning of page 2) I just have the mental image of a skinny fourteen year old in a modest two piece bathing suit freezing her ass off and being incredibly pissed off that she's gone from being out in the desert to being on a beach full of snow with no warning.

    I'll help out a bit by pointing out that all the places and street names in the latter half of the the thread are real. Also, you are free to elaborate what Sarah's done in the (approximately) 36 hours Koutarou has been wandering around.

    Well I promised to Kuroi to post something by Tuesday noon, local time. If you caught up, it's your choice whether to post before me or after me.

    I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.
