There is another Hector, an' an Eliziya, an' a Pan, an a sleepy Mirae an' a Marcus who is just letting her be sleepy because he's a nice guy like that.

The voices in my head tell me that we saved the world. However, they also told me that George Clooney's face is on the dollar bill, so... meh. The voices are more fun, anyway.

I drew a thing. Kinda fast, and not inked or coloured or anything because meh, I'm lazy. :P

Might seem silly but trust me, if you don't warn him it IS pretty much a guarantee Tamar is going to chop his fingers off on that.

Edit: hector's not short, they're just sitting down :P Yeeeeah.

Also, not trying to be a buzz kill, guys, but I thought there was a time limit on posting and we're still missing a quest for this set... :?

Agreed. Timing was bad for you guys and that sucks, but it has been a few days past. Maybe we should just carry over the mission or something?

Honestly, we waited a couple days extra last time around for eli and Jack's quest, because they had busy RL stuff or with elephants, I'm sure we can afford to be patient for a little longer for the same reasons here. Deadlines are guidelines, are they not?

Well yeah, but a week guideline has become almost two weeks now (we're on day 11 or 12 I think). :?

Let me put it this way Q, Blur and I posted our quest this time last week. We all got the quest on the same day

I don't really mind waiting a little longer, though I do wish the quest was already up. :P
Why should we do the right thing?
-Well... because it's the right thing to do, there's no other good reason.

Am I a bad guy trying to be good, or a good guy trying to convince himself that he's not the bad guy?

We are pretty close to being done. We need to fill in a couple more scenes, so it shouldn't take that much longer if the turn doesn't end.

So, we read all of that. And some other things too. I guess I should explain how eli and I handle the deadlines...

Well, the turns have 1 week to be sorted. The quests go up, and you're free to do whatever you want in that time. We won't go after you, and you can always check with us in case of doubts, issues or if you need to drop or discuss any kind of problems that might be going on.

So, the time expired. Then we move on a case-by-case analysis, much like it was before we established the deadline. We'll go talk to whoever is in the quest, and then what will happen depends on how this talk goes. Of course, if someone is radio silent at this point, it's an instantaneous fail. Other than that, it's really a case of talking to the quest takers, so I won't go into more details.

As far as this case now is concerned, we'll get the RP moving tomorrow (Saturday). :)

Sicon wanted me to tell you and Eli, Pixel, that he'll be back from work in about two hours, and will finish his post thingy once he's back. :3 Also, on another note, Endless, do you have a Google doc we could use for the Underground Quest once it's time? That'll be much easier than PMing back and forth, and will save us a lot of time, which is a valuable commodity here.

Welp, the four-man collab is in session, and I am quickly discovering that color-coding can be quite abuseable in the hands of a very silly person. :|

It could be worse, Endless, people could be using different FONTS.

In all the groups I've been we rarely ever used colour coding anyway. I think I did with Agora back at the beginning but apart from that all our text just tends to merge together until you can't always tell who wrote what. Sometimes I think it's actually better that way... This IS a collaborative project, after all. :)

Let me get this straight... We havea pairing of Seire Valefar, the guy for whom Ham is a standard part of the daily diet aaand Lovia who so far as I can tell, wouldn't say "excuse me" quietly to a goose, let alone shout "Boo!"

Well. This is going to be... interesting, to say the least. 8-)

Quest 17: You're ALL Gonna Die! (Unless You Kill Those Guys First)
.. said the prophet. Rather, yelled the prophet. Screamed the prophet maniacally, even. You get the drift. This guy's been standing around the streets of Castletown, calling all kinds of apocalyptic gloom and doom. Very prophetic. He's even been able to give accurate weather forecasts to people challenging him, as well as answers to more personal questions. Like a public fortune-teller, but true! That wouldn't normally be a problem, except that his ranting includes doom for everybody in Castletown if the guild leaders stay alive. Who knows how long before the townfolk get too nervous?

Your goal: Do something about this prophet guy before he incites the whole town against the guild leaders. With every accurate forecast he gives, the more paranoid they get.

Quest-takers: Ben (Qara-Xuan Zenith) and Julius (Pixelmage)

Notes: The prophet MUST quote several lines from the R.E.M song "It's the End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" :D
If you can make it better, don't make it sentient.

Eh, the font stuff is mostly for the side notes and plotting- basically, the stuff that would normally stay in chat, but we want to keep it around for future reference. Also, I myself always use Times New Roman in collabs to set my writing apart from the rest for easy identification, although this is the first time I've been accused of trying to be fancy for doing it. :| (This is all carryover from that one dungeon quest I did, by the way. Really helped me get a feel for the FC writing process.)
