PMD: Seventeen Plates DT 4

As glad as I am to see you, @Robusto, yes, you really should. *scowls 58%-playfully, 42%-annoyed*

If we could chat soon, that would be awesome, but you should nevertheless be prepared for a PM that will most likely resemble a list of documents a CEO must sign and read over (in that order ). I'm delaying my post until I can discuss the end with you - or at least hear back.

Also, if you have WhatsApp, I'd love to exchange numbers! I have already collected that of Lumi and @Tortwag, and though the connection is often spotty, it greatly aids staying in contact.

PS: @Buggiedude2340, I shall endeavour to stay on the site for most of the evening so that you can just find me when you log on.

To be honest, I've sent Robusto a PM he won't seem to read until next weekend, so I'm a bit more annoyed than just 42% now. <_<

Anyway, since he hasn't responded, that means I'll have to cut the mysterious ending and just post the second day's conclusion - of course, @StupidSoup still needs to tell us what happens with Ren, but I'm setting him up for that. The point of this post is both to inform you all of the above, but also to show you this:

Scared yet? >:)

Luckily for us, the worst is over. The next two days will seem like a casual stroll in nature compared to the first two.


EDIT: It. Has. Been. POSTED! Goodness, that took much too long. It's not even worth all that time, what with the best part being cut out, but eh. Hopefully it's enjoyable all the same.

@AstralHunter: *applause* Finally, a post! It's been a few months since the last one, I do believe. Well, I'll find some spare time to read through it (it is fairly long, but I do have tonight to see it) and provide some of my thoughts. Too, now I can finally get to work on my bonus post (it'll probably have to be posted after @StupidSoup discusses what happens to Ren, but I can at least write it now)! Even if the next two days are going to be easier than the first two, it's up to me to make sure they aren't comfortable ones either.

And that is not the scariest video of a sandstorm I've seen. I can't remember which one that I've seen that is the worst, but I've seen plenty of the eerie results of a sandstorm, so now I'm used to it. As in videos, of course - if there was a sandstorm here, I would be terrified, because I don't think this town has had one since the Great Depression.

Ah, of course. I haven't seen the effects of a sandstorm, but just being in one seems bad enough. I'd always thought the light just becomes very dim, not non-existant. XD

@AstralHunter: ah, I see that I should've reserved my applause for reading the post itself - now it would be tedious and repetitive of me to do so. Nevertheless, I am impressed! It was a great post to read, and also rather complicated and interesting. It revealed a little more on Gabriel and his thoughts, particularly his determination (and I'm having the feeling that the the ferocity of the sandstorm where he was might be a reference to my own post). I do not think that Aegeas will be quite so happy to find that he tolerated the challenge a lot worse than the younger participants. Eh, so be it - he was being more reckless, and, if the poison was a neurotoxin, it likely plagued his troubled mind to a disastrous point. When he wakes up, I do not think he will be quite so happy, and I'm sure he'll probably have the injuries that Gabriel did, if not worse ones. But, I'll save all that for my own post. XD

Thanks for the post! I should like to give a special mention to the romance, and the way that you tied the previous posts together. Now that I think about it, this has given me a good number of ideas for my own, and I can hopefully write it over the next few days, so as long as I juggle my other projects and school. And my life can only drive me mad so many times, right?

That's excellent news! I'm glad you found it to be so useful. Now, it's my turn to see what everyone else comes up with. But anyway, the last two phases of the RBPT before the final battle are as follows:
♦ Day 3 - location: Alluvial Farmlands; weather: harsh sunlight; status: burn
~ This time, things will be different. Withstanding harsh sunlight isn't a big deal, so instead, their first task will be to get from point A to point B within the time limit. Immediately after they reach it, Lieutenant Madeleine will teleport in an opponent that matches their calibre. All they need to do is defeat the opponent while burned. Simple.
♦ Day 4 - location: Earthquake Beach; weather: rain; status: paralysis
~ This final part will work much the same as the previous phase, except they'll all have to force march from point A to point B together. While it's raining. And while they're all paralysed. After that, they split up and face opponent they should be able to defeat easily under normal circumstances. Again, once the opponents fall or tap out, our characters pass.

Sound like fun? Eh, probably not. XD

I have not written a post in 5 months. o-o

Well, that will simply not do.

don't drop the mirror!

It's surprising how quickly time passes, isn't it?

In other news, I now have official permission to submit that mysterious post. I wouldn't be too excited though, because... well, maybe I'll keep that to myself for now.

Oh my goodness! People besides us are actually reading this!

@AstralHunter What? I didnt follow the latests posts, but are you talking about SB Stalkers? Did something happen?
*is confused*

You of all people should know what I was talking about.

If one person is stalking the storybook without our knowledge, more likely are. Yes, we previously thought this, but now we have proof!

WOOO! PRECEDENT ACHIEVED!

@AstralHunter Oh! That. You saw that. But wait, didn't we already have proofs of SB Stalking every time a person intervened in the DT, which happened like once or twice each DT? Unless that doesn't count as proofs in which case, welp, you're totally right.

I'm just glad Twinkiel is that entertaining though.

Yip! And sure, that meant people were following the storybook, but this is the first time we received undeniable proof, as well as commentary on a favourite character. And yeah, it's hard not to like Twinkiel.

Then, as previously mentioned, you're totally right. Huh. *doesn't fully realize how cool this is*
D'aww, stop it, you :3 People either like him or fear him XD I've shown a few of my Twinkiel-related writings to some curious friends, and a lot of them voted for the latter, lol.
