I just can't seem to get into that last post of mine... I like parts of it, but not collectively.
After working again, I'm really unmotivated. Hard for me to focus on writing. i hate when that happens. dumb work.
Anyone have a copy of that map for Skysail that was being discussed earlier? If so, I'd like to get my hands on a copy.
You got an invite to Google Wave, didn't you? If you check that out and get situated, we have several threads going that have pertinent Skysail information (including the map..which needs updating). If it wasn't me who invited you, they'll need to invite/attach you to those conversations (I currently don't see you on my Wave list).
Not that I make a habit of OOC only posts in threads, and I don't particularly want to start now, even though it's pertinent.
keep in mind i said i didn't like the post.
A sorry is in order. I mentioned my impending boredom and Shari invited Arlen into the conversation in wave. And also sorry for my unknowing all-knowingness? If that makes sense.
I don't really see what you mean by all-knowing in this instance. He's using established facts. Arch is from Acacia, Calidonia is Acacia's capital. i think any child in the continent would know that. Cyr is also from Kell, which hates Dominia in its entirety. Even more so, she's been on the front lines. Arlen also fought Dominia, twice (once in Kell, sort of in the thick of it). It has taken much of his life to get over hating dominians and rather, hating their leaders - because technically, he gets bunched in with the rest of the northerners. Also, Cyradis is quite visibly, and at the time audibly, upset. Arlen's seen Archmages in action and angry. Having one angry at the only real pilot, in the bridge, with a ton of sensitive equipment... not good. That's a given.
As for his words:
-Talking to Cyr about Arch's past being unchangeable: Everyone's is. Dominia has tons of pilots to exchange Arch with. common sense, not all-knowing.
-About Cyr coming on deck and arch telling her: I'm pretty sure we already established that a while ago.
-About Revenge being empty: It was just on my mind, actually, as can be seen from the previous Arlen-oriented post. Totally different plot. See below for more info linked to his words and the knife.
-About leaders: Again, his own experience. Sorry for going into something you two already might have talked about. ^_- not that I knew you talked about leaders being the problem.
-About what Arch did as a pilot: She's a pilot. She said as he walked up that she dropped bombs on Kell soil. He was there, he knew what devastation those bombs wrought as well. Not all knowing.
-About killing arch with a physical object rather than a physical manifestation of magic: A way to shock Cyr into her right mind. Show her that she is like one of those bombs going onto a school-age child in comparison. Again, sorry if it is something you guys talked about putting in simile and I didn't know of it.
sorry if it was a buzzkill for you. If you don't like anything I write, don't worry about what I write and suppose I didn't even write it. Like what you did there with your post. I can easily retro and have Arlen walk away using what you have in your post, should you like me to.

If you're not satisfied with your post, why vehemently defend it?
I wrote a few paragraphs with counterpoints and my own perspective, but it really isn't even worth getting into. Keep the post, it's up and Archamae heard it all and the monologue was acknowledged - I tried to keep a bit of the tension and pace up with the potential for disaster (which will be averted shortly).
It isn't a vehement defense, it's a defense against allegations of an all-knowing arlen, when there were things mentioned that I either came up with on the spot without any specific foreknowledge, or simply were already known by all.
Everyone on the ship knows there's something up between the two characters (aram even was thinking about such) and arlen just happens to already know the quarrel is over origins. that's all, my friend. Nothing vehement there regarding the post, but I do feel affronted when accused of doing things purposely that I did not.
I would like to hear your part of the conversation, though, because I want your perspective. I'll not have us bickering endlessly again for no reason, eh? Wave me.
*innocent whistling* What disaster?

I think the big thing is misunderstanding what was going on. To me, it looked like the situation was getting worse between them, and played it as Arlen would be ignored by Cyr, generally. After that, i don't know what was going to happen after that.
been talking to shari about what was intended in teh conversation, and it is agreed that the perception that I had going into it was in the opposite direction.
Actually I really like that post of yours Shari. ;)
o.o
wtf is going on here? Are you crazies still at it?
yep :) still at it. :)
lol woot!
How's things goin here? I see no one decided to join me at BlueMoon >8U
I should mention that over there I've semi-rezzed Ark's Desole thread. It had to be changed somewhat, and unfortunately no longer holds that supernatural quality, but it's slowly progressing. Very slowly ><
