PMD: Seventeen Plates DT 4

THE FIRST YEAR IS A BOARDGAME, BUT THAT'LL DO.
('sides I'm tecnically still workin' on my own thing in a meantime with a bunch of friends, so there)
BUT HEY I STILL NEED TO KEEP WRITIN'

OOOOOHH YOU'RE LIKE CRIKEN!!!

So, I've learned I'm pretty hard to reach during the week because of college. ^~^'
But every my classes end on Thursday, so I'm usually pretty free after that.
Yeah @Astralhunter, let's set up a time. What works for you?
And I'll send my post via PM to all who are interested. I mean, I feel I did a good job on it... but I also feel like there's something missing. Not sure what it is. Hopefully ye all can shed light on that.

Whenever you're likely to be available, @Robusto, it will almost certainly be late for me, so I'd rather you choose a time. I can always adapt my already awful sleeping patterns, but I am loath to ask the same of others. Besides, I'd go to sleep at three in the morning anytime if it means I get to catch up with a friend. During the week, it's a bit tougher to do so, since I have to get up much earlier than before, but during the weekend especially, I can retire and rise as late as I like.

Meanwhile, my post for Gabriel is progressing fabulously. I found a great link for sandstorm ambience, but I have yet to reach that part... (And I mean it's a few paragraphs away - the Lieutenant just teleported then to the Sazandora Desert.)

Well, since @Robusto and I have still not spoken, I'll just go through with my plan and fill him in on it later.

Having said that, what do you guys (@TheSilverFox, @Poopsie, @StupidSoup, and @Tortwag), gal (@Buggiedude2340), and ghost (@Charizard821) prefer: do I include it as a mysterious end to my post, or do I make it a short "bonus post" (as Tort calls those) on its own?

make it a second novel.

That answer is disqualified on the grounds of not being an option.

Pfft. There's always a fourth/fifth/sixth/umpteenth option.

@AstralHunter: Mysterious ending seems preferable, since I've always found those the most enthralling. Depends on your own discretion, of course.

Eeeeeeeh, I like them bonus posts. But you're an epic writer, Astral. You can make mysterious ending work very well, so i'll go with that second option.

do a thng

Writing long posts is fun. ^_^

Especially when they're good^

Well, what can be considered as "good" depends on the reception, I'd say. One can be pleased or displeased with one's work, but if it is received well, it could be considered good regardless. If, however, that was a compliment, then thank you.

With all the fantastic progress I've made - of which many hours were dedicated to pondering that mysterious last bit - I can now promise you the post will be done within the week.

In the meantime, I'll continue keeping the thread active in @Robusto's absence, if nobody minds. I therefore ask you the following:
♦ Which occurrence in this storybook would scare* you the most?

*scare=make you nervous for your character's future


PS: Do NPCs like Absol count as being someobody else's character? NPCs belong to the author that created them, right?

@AstralHunter Hoopa dying forever without means for me to do my the awesome epilogue scene I have in mind with him.
No seriously my unhealthy love for the little guy is almost as deep as what I feel for Ma- Weavile. Having watched the Hoopa movie - AKA The Archdjinni of the Rings, did not help my case.
I mean don't worry, I can still be impartial when it comes to him, I just... Don't wanna see him out of my reach. *cuddles with Hoopa figurine*

As for your PS... I think so? I mean I'm pretty sure Abby belongs to Robusto the same way Ariala/Spadassia belong to me. *shrug* I'm not sure about the "neutral" NPCs like the Legendaries though, since they technically all belong to Robusto.
