PMD: Seventeen Plates DT

@Tortwag: Okay, I saw that coming. XD. I knew it was going to be from the Mega Man series, and I guessed it was likely Mega Man X from the robot that had been trapped in the laboratory for such a long time. Excellent job with your latest part! The story was fantastic, and I enjoyed the conversation a lot. It's fascinating seeing how each of the characters are developing, and it's fun to see Twinkiel and his flair. XD. Great job with your idea, conception and development, and how each of the characters interact with everyone else. It was fun to read, and I look forward to the next post you make! .

Now, I have about 4 minutes till school, and that is way too close for comfort. O_O

See you around!

@TheSilverFox Thirty years EXACTLY (I finished Megaman X again very recently, and that 30 years sealing section is actually in the intro) I threw lots of hitns, as well.
His flair, yes. Pretty much the only normal thing about him, so you better enjoy it XD Doesn't appear that often.
And thanks a ton for the rest. I still can't beleive I did all this in one day.
The magic of After-Exams, I suppose.

@Robusto... Fine. I'ma kep da pean buter for now, but in da new DT, dis comin' bak up.

@Buggiedude2340, LOVE the drawings! If I were to hazard a guess, Riley is the Riolu on the right of Flurry. My favourite character you drew HAS to be Twinkiel. It looks like he's plotting something sinister. @Tortwag, I don't know what you were talking about him looking confident. He looked perfect to me! (Also, does anyone else think that it looks almost like one of those family photos where everything is going horribly wrong? The idea made me chuckle.)

Buggie, I won't be posting again until the boss battle, (I believe,) unless of course, we're writing more fillers in the marsh. I'm probably going to post a super small post about Riley kicking himself for sending that Valentine. XD Impulsive fool, he is. Other than that, you and Hunter can have at it! (My work load isn't too big though so don't be afraid to ask Riley to take the stage for a bit, should you need to.)

@Charizard821 Personally I love the atmosphere around Flurry, it's the best part of the draft to my eyes (despite having Twinkiel on the side, smiling for no apparent reason bein' fun too). Just... Both Riolus fighting for no reason, Flurry not knowing what to do anymore, Zulu trying not to fly out of the way above them and Aegeas just watching from afar. I love that.
Hey, I just said that it looked more confident than scary D: And I did add: "this draft pretty much has everything right with it."
But by more confident than scary I meant closer to this:

Spoiler

(which is awesome)
Than to this:

Spoiler

(Which... Oh god I love this one)

Which I absolutely do not mind, because it's a draft, and the result for everyone looks superb anyway. I'm really really really eager to see how a good draft like that will turn out. Background, colors, shading, expression, and everythin'. I don't think any of us will be disappointed. Go, Buggie!
(And yes it totally does. Reminds me of this school photo: I was falling during the shot and had a horrified expression in the final take. Did that ever happen to anyone else?)

Took me a while with quite a few ideas scrapped, but I've finally created Zulu and Bloodmoon's human backstories! Expect them to be revealed at some point in the near future.

YES! I can't wait for Bloodmoon's, it's been such a long time!
...And I'm kinda curious for Zulu too, actually.

awww...@Tortwag and you didn't add Jack Nicolson

@15253 I jus wanted to illustrate my point with some images, nothing too precise. Plus, Harley's Joker is pretty amazing.

I am warning you in advance: I shall tag you each time I mention you, so the more I have to say to concern you, the more notifications you will get to ensure you read my post.

@TheSilverFox and @Robusto, I expect it will be about... five posts before Xerneas is freed - five at the minimum - and he, Flurry, Riley and Gabriel will be able to "call" the meeting, which is coincedentally already being planned by the other Legendaries. However, to ensure things go smoothly at Jewels' end, I shall write a super post from her perspective this Friday. (Is it all right with everyone, especially you, Robusto, if the Resistance is in possession of the Reveal Glass?)

@Tortwag, you are right - you lot have an insane amount of time to spare, so be sure to explore character interaction in detail. Detours are most welcome.

@Charizard821, Gabriel has become rather cranky, yes, and his anxiety also disappeared, but his temper only worsened. However, he has become the brooding type - he's more like a Ninetales in that sense - so he would prefer to avoid open conflict. Moreover, I don't understand why he would call Riley arrogant... I'd just have had him call Riley a coward, worm, snail, something in that direction. (not that it's true); at the moment, Gabriel is the arrogant one. Finally, he wouldn't blame Riley for his suffering, because while Riley did trigger the memory, he was not the one who directly caused the tragedy.

I'm not asking you to edit your post - I quite like it the way it is - but I am asking you to keep the above in mind when next writing an interaction between Riley and Gabriel. If you are uncertain about something, feel free to PM me.

@Robusto, I'm guessing the Mega Pidgeot is the travelling Guardian; a Flying type does have the most reason to move around.

@Lumi, I'd be honoured to star in one of your SBs, but I've never played the video games, so warn me in advance, that I may scour Bulbapedia and interrogate my fellow SBers in time. (I can improvise, so playing a Pokémon here oughtn't make a difference there.) ^_^

(Oh, and since I've already tagged you, if I write five posts for this SB and post them in quick succession before the month is over, will I still qualify for the Captain's Challenge in the SB Newsletter? I ask, because I had somehow missed the single in the description of the challenge... :$ )

Everyone else, especially @Tortwag and @TheSilverFox, the SB Lumi started is already in progress.

By the way, how do you feel about Criminal Minds/other crime series?

Oh, Tort, the only problem I have with your nickname, despite its meaning, is that it's a pleonasm. The devil is Lucifer, so that's redundant...

@Buggiedude2340, I shall only be writing from Gabriel's POV after they've returned to Frostpoint. In the meantime, I need to get Jewels to Sandveil and thence to the Shrine of Safety. I can tell you those five posts I have to make will not be short...

@Robusto, if it comes down to it, is it all right if post several times in succession tomorrow to Saturday? Ideally, I'd have another participant's post between each of mine, but if I must pull a Silver or 15253, may I?

PS: *has read all the posts save for the last two*

Don't worry, @AstralHunter, I'm reasonably sure that I'll post one of my largest writing creations between tomorrow and Saturday. Well, I'm reasonably sure. . It's not easy trying to make sure that I have all my schoolwork done before 3:30 P.M. my time, but it's been mostly smooth sailing so far and I'll mop up my last resistance today. . And then I can amaze you all with the longest conversation ever.

@AstralHunter Precisely. Since we're waiting for you l, stalling with interesting side-posts would be both entertaining and good for all of us to develop/understand our characters more. I can't wait.
And if you need assistance for Pokemon trainer combat, I can help. I am close to reach high competitive level (though not quite there yet), so I can provide assistance in the trainer combat writing department. Or, you know, just provide backup info, since you can portray your fights pretty darn well already. All SBers who played the games here can indeed help you anyway
And yes, I noticed it had begun. I'm so excited for it and I'd really enjoy joining it, actually. @Lumi But we'll only be used as guest stars, right? I'm fine with it personally, but I'm curious.
EDIT: nevermind, it's invitational. I'll just keep reading.
Back to you Astral, OH SNAP I'M STUPID. I had Belzebuth as the devil in my mind. Wrong Demonology. Now, I wanted to use Devil's Lamb, but after his final evolution it won't fit anymore, so I'll just change along the way. So yeah, how about Devil's Lamb?
What do I think about criminal minds? Well they're amazing, obviously. I find many of them quite interesting to watch, especially when they're really well done.
But what do you mean by "from other series"? D'you mean criminal brains from shows or cartoons, like the Joker or something?
And you're two posts behind. Well, catch up when you can then!

@TheSilverFox ...It better be REALLY good if it's REALLY long... I'll get some pop corns.

Thanks AstralHunter. I forgot about just where I planned the Mystery Dungeon the Sky Plate is located in to be. Though technically, he still can't leave the Mystery Dungeon, but if we count him then there are really two Plate Guardians walking around. Who's the second one? I'll only reveal he's the Draco Plate's Guardian.

And here's the Draco Plate Guardian's battle theme! Phase 1 of the battle anyway. They'll be the only one with more than one phase.

@Robusto OHMYGOSHSOMETHINGFROMNEMESISTHEORY
*fangirl scream*
... Yeah, I kind of expected this to be god by default. Nice theme righ there!
...Wonder what kind of celebrities those two Guardians will be :O

were meeting at the shrine first right?
