Contracted [DT]

It's fine! Yep I'll have it up soon. If not this afternoon, then probably tomorrow.

Hey, everyone! @KaiRyu is no longer going to be a part of the storybook. Her life is getting a little hectic, so she'll be taking her leave. Her character, Amber, is now an NPC. Like with Cassandra, she will not be killed off as of right now. If KaiRyu ever decides that she's wanting to join again, she can take up writing for Amber.

So that means someone else needs to write a post. @Strident is supposed to be the last person to go for this round. If they can't go, I can see three other options. I'll list them down below. I'm leaning more towards the last two, though, if worst comes to worst, we'll just go with the first.

1.) We skip over the last few plot points, and I have the characters explain what isn't included in the storybook when they run into Luke.

2.) I write as one of the NPCs.

3.) Someone else writes a post instead of Strident for the second to last option, and just follows the plot point with their character instead of the others.

Hey, guys! Since it's been several weeks since I sent that message and @Strident hasn't responded, I'm going to assume they lost interest in the storybook. I could really use someone to take their place for their plot. You would just make your character do the things their character was supposed to do.

Here's what that would entail:

They try going back to Luke's house again. Though he's not there, they realize that he accidentally left his door unlocked. They enter to find his spellbooks and suit from the night before strewn across his bedroom. [character] remembers that Luke likes to take pictures in Proctorville's park, so they begin to walk over to it.

Then they arrive at the park and start searching for Luke. [character] finds him in one of the most remote parts of the park, doodling in his sketchbook. He goes to get the others and returns with them. They ask for an explanation. Luke reluctantly agrees to give it.

I’ll try tonight and if I don’t, someone else can do it

Thank you so much, @izanami! I'm so glad we have a plan for the post, now - I have a really cool idea planned for the next round that involves introducing a certain character that I may have mentioned once before...

@izanami, I'm guessing you couldn't write up the post? Unless @Strident comes back, that leaves @Steggy, @Wolfical. @HazelGrace16 and @Lumi. If worse comes to worst, I can write up a post from Luke's perspective that explains all of the events that transpired between the last post and the post I had planned for him. But I'd really like for someone else to post instead!

Yeah I can’t I’m sorry

I’ll go. Give me til the end of tomorrow.

Thanks, @Lumi! I really appreciate it <3

Hey, @Lumi! I'm really sorry to bother you, but how is your post coming along for this storybook?

It's coming - I just keep getting hung up on things in the real wooooooorld.

@Lumi can't post, so I'll just fall back on the backup for the backup - I'll cut to the next Lucifer post and have the explanation for what happened in the missing set of posts in it. I can't make any promises because I have some family stuff planned for tomorrow night, but I'll try to get it and the new challenge up tomorrow.

After thinking things over, I think it might be best for this storybook to be archived when it hits the three month inactivity mark on May 4th. It seems like only a small handful of the original cast are interested in it or active on the site. I really did like this storybook, but I think its time has come. If suddenly people want to do it, I'd be happy to do so! But I feel like when the creator is the only one actively trying to move the story along, it's a sign that people have lost interest.

Thank you for taking part in this storybook. I really enjoyed writing it with all of you, and I hope I can do more storybooks with you guys in the future!

Awww. ;-; It was a fun SB! Thanks for being a great host and for coming up with all these cool ideas!
