The Fellowship Grows, the Journey Continues (OOC)

Ezme is being a quiet observer right now, and I feel silly saying that multiple times, so I may appear inactive over here. But I'm watching and waiting for her moment to take action.

Always a balancing act. Thanks for being clear.

Oops. I guess Ezme ended up ignoring the girl's question because she was distracted by the boys. :-P

It was not really the sort of question that requires an answer. :)

And boys are distracting. :)

Yep. Speaking of...

You wrote in this entry:
So... Theo's very irritable whenever Daryl is around, only slightly moody when neither Daryl nor Ezme are around, and awkwardly friendly when around Ezme with no Daryl? Is that right?

Well, you don't know what Theo is like when you are not around... on account of your not being around. Unless you asked one of the others if he was being weird in your absence... which seems like a difficult conversation to have. :)

The others —with their external viewpoint— may have put more of this together. It seems Daryl and Theo had a falling out, and it seems to have been about Ezme.

I was guessing that the conversation was winding down and so jumped ahead, but feel free to keep chatting with Tomaž, @quietpanther. You can hop to Ezme's question whenever you're ready.

I have å æ ç ė į... But no zchs

How sad for you. :(

ž is pronounced, —as Airshark showed— as a slightly harder 'sh' (his name is Tom-mash so feel free to write it Tomas (and avoid the spell-check squiggles), or even Tomash.

ž can be entered as unicode 17e, or as compose cz, depending on your keyboard/system capabilities... or you can copy-paste, as I do with many names in games. :)

Hey everyone.

It was a hard decision and took a lot of thinking, doubting,... but I decided to leave the game. I've had 2 years of massive fun but at the moment posting regularly is becoming a chore and that's not a definition of 'play' (ok, maybe a bit of 'role' I'll give you that 😉)

Thanks @Vague for their patience, world creation and crazy ideas.
Thanks @Kara and @Quietpanther for their imagination, creativity and crazy writing skills.
Thanks @Gen for introducing me to gamersplane and being Roald's crazy companion for 2 years.

'till next time!

Oh I forgot: thanks for all the puns and other jokes! Zom-bees still cracks me up 🤣

Sorry to see you go. It has been great having you.
Absolutely. We all understand that.

You are most welcome to stay in the game (we will remove the character to clean the Character menu) or come back if you ever feel that you are able to keep up.

Thanks I'll think about it. But knowing myself, I won't be able to keep my mouth shut 😉.

I know the feeling. Do whatever is best for you, you are welcome to come back and rejoin the game whenever, if that suits you better.

Ohhhh… You and Roald will be certainly missed, by Ezme and by me!!

Thank you for anointing us "Damsel of the Duck." One of my favorite moments… I’m so glad we had the chance to become acquainted through this story! Say what you will; I’ll be holding onto hope for more games together down the road… ;)

Oh, dang! And I was really looking forward to the moment when Ezme asked Roald where he got his interesting multi-colored cape… 🤣

Thank you Kara. That's very kind!

@Airshark: Do you want to do anything for Roald's farewell? Do you have any ideas of how/why he leaves?

Generally we have just dropped characters in and dropped them out again wherever we are, ignoring any 'lack of logic' (that is the nature of this game). But if you want to play out your leaving, we can do that. Maybe you want to gift some of your stuff (techni-colour cloak or magic sword?) to the other characters, or something?

Up to you.

I have nothing specific in mind. Didn't think about gifting the attributes... If anyone is interested I can make that happen.

Roald would probably just stay behind in this village.

We can leave it ambiguous. Maybe you had a reason to stay here, maybe you learned news that caused you to need to head home (for instance), we don't need to define the details.
