Heavy Meta (No SV, You Are The Eldritch Horror!)(RECRUITING RE-OPENED)

I'm awake! Sorry, was napping.

ETA: well, Mina is close to right. Not sure how close, though.

ETA again: added a line. Also, can someone just grab her while Mina has her distracted?

Nothing about your behaviour says that was anything other than a smart tactical decision.

I expect Elizabeth will apologise if you demand it, but we all know it won't mean anything except that she's a much nicer person than you.

Maybe I should prevent her so we can have a bit of courtroom drama. The righteous fury of the law sounds great.

Alright, little bit confused here. Was this meant to be OOC? Also, could you elaborate a little more? What exactly was a smart tactical decision, just for future reference here? Also, I am so up for some righteous fury of the law.

I'm not sure if Darius got on the train and apparently Valliard is getting too much of a kick out of being small (not that it's clear how he's navigating).

The distraction and grab is actually a terrible idea, though. If she's distracted when she gets assaulted, she's going to panic.
 
When I am going to post IC, Darius is probably just going to leave.
He tried, Elizabeth is more willing to stick her head in the sand, so he is going to cut his losses and just leave. Not posting IC now because...Wel I am having problems focusing on reading the other IC to form a good post myself.

Uh... this was IC as a person playing through Elizabeth. She doesn't know the referred-to events happened and to me Remi is just a character, but the intermediate persona who interacts with Elizabeth thinks it's amusing to talk to Elizabeth and the other player characters, despite the people addressed not hearing them.

They claimed that wrecking the pen was a good tactical decision, because your character hasn't made any attempt to chase or attack her, despite being generally on the ball and later deciding that she was planning to destroy the world. They're technically wrong, in that the pen probably wasn't that influential in your decision-making and in that Elizabeth just blew it up because the earlier comparison to deal-making demons worried her.

I do enjoy a little courtroom drama, but I feel like it would really derail the plot. Discussing this in open court, or at least before military and government witnesses, and some higher-up is going to decide our group needs breaking up (and co-opting) for everyone's sake.

We're the beings talking through the characters...so, still a little confused. I agree with you on all the other counts, though.

I feel like it's easier to understand what's going on with a degree of remove between the person who is writing the character and the one who talks to them. It make sense of the knowledge and priorities divide.


As an example:

Elizabeth is attempting time travel to kill Darius, killing us all. What? If she succeeds, she will create a parallel timeline that will replace us, quite possibly murdering everyone in this timeline, commiting genocide. That is at least a possibility.

This happened after it was very clear that time travel wasn't happening.
 
So what should we do with poor Elizabeth?

To be quite frank? Darius is done. He is bleeding on the ground, He is having flashbacks out of the wazoo and this is still the Same day we bound to the SV, He had his service pistol exploded (a gift from a friend Who is Also dead).
Darius is done giving a shit, He just wants to go to bed and face the nightmares He knows for a fact wil Come. He tried his best and his best was not enough.
(I am a bit Tired at the moment, I pay less attention to OOC Then to IC So I can do OOC while Tired.)
 
I'm split between dragging her back in chains and just stripping her of everything useful and watching her learn to be poor.

What's the point of having a character who immediately leaves, anyway?
 
Meh, I can just distort the narrative to ensure you keep running into each other. Also, unless Silenspirals says otherwise, Elizabeth wound up on the overnight train to Mire.
 
. . . is Mire as awful as it sounds?
 
..... would now be a good time to mention that Valiard is following Elizabeth around to keep an eye on her?

Yes, it's technically stalking. :V
 
So it's not actually a mire. Probably.
 
Oh dear. That doesn't sound very stable . . .
 
Fair enough, but it seems a waste of resources.
 
Which is gonna suck when the waters start to seriously rise, but point.
