Bump! Just wanted to make sure if anyone wanted to go, since @Terian805 had a recent post, and so did I and Thundah.

@Terian805 Hello, m'dear! Currently catchin up posts at last, as I'm freer for a good chunk of the Summer at least - though I feel like this'll happen more and more to all of us.

How's that second part of yours going?

Yes @Tortwag good point! :D I'll be honest I was kinda waiting for someone else to post to have a break between Finn's POV, before..I wrote...the 2nd part. So I haven't made a whole lot of progress, but if people are expecting me to be writing it then I'll certainly do so.. :D

@Terian805 NOW THAT I'M FREE, I CAN TOTALLY DO THAT, so, I think I will. I think we're all pretty much in last second exams (just finished mine) and catching up with things in general, so, not really expecting much yet. Lemme read that first part of yours, first off!

@Terian805 Caught up! Yeeeah, point for Finn there: it's pretty awkward XD Guess I'll just continue my sub-arc in the meantime, since Ella needs some presence, as well as Adrian and Pango Lyn. Time to scheme things!

Something's finally posted! I think I've bitten off a bit more than I can chew, since I have way more planned for this scene as well! I was thinking of writing a cool fight scene with Finn and Simon Eimer vs the Impalpables.@Lael if you want me to change Simon a bit, or remove him entirely please let me know.

Meanwhile anyone else is welcome to post!

Oh man, it's been awhile since I posted in this! I apologize for falling so far off of the map. I've finally read through the storybook's new posts and caught up with what's going on in the plot, so I think now would be a good time for join in on the posting.

Just before I do, maybe we should decide on a plan for what we want to happen in the long term? We have Pango Lyn and Adrian over with Ella right now, and Finn with Jasmine as they deal with the Impalables. But we don't really have a specific thing that's tying them together, do we? (Besides Ella, but right now she's just kind of there.) I could have Adrian talk to Ella while Pango Lyn is off fighting - if I remember right, she's either supposed to tell them something important or something that brings all the characters together?

Well I'm not 100% sure how that would work quite yet
@Saen I'm just working on making a link between Stella/Slayer and Finn/Jasmine. Was there going to be some kind of dreamfolk rebellion which Adrian/Ella get caught up in? If so, that would link Ella/Adrian to Stella/slayer and by default Finn and Jasmine. How you would introduce that though, I dont know. Does anyone have some ideas?

@Terian805 I am INSULTED not to be included in your friendly shipping plans, how DARE YOU not put any available characters or NPCs to my dinosaur, humans and dinosaurs would be wonderful for hypothetical reproduction these days, imagine the Werewolves, I mean weresauruses, it would be great
Jokes - yes that was my idea of a joke - aside, done with reading the post! So, Simon's partnership with Finn begun, and that latter's officially linked to Jasmine. Yay!

Now, for the big questions/suggestions!

Well, I still remember the talk on page 5 about the Avatar of Rebirth, and the Avatar of Renewal. As far as I recall, Ella's eventually gonna kick the bucket, but will pass her power to a person that's not Finn before doing so. Meanwhile, Slayer wants a rebellion to happen because Upper Class Is Annoying And Also Slavery Is Bad, Adrian just wants to be useful, Ella just doesn't wanna get caught, Finn just wanna help people, Jasmine just wanna help Finn and Pango Lyn just wanna have fun.
Lol.

With that said, I agree with @Saen, Ella should prolly state her purpose, or mention, in her own way, that she's the Avatar of Rebirth, and that people want her to die so that she doesn't use her powers anymore. So, she could totally have Adrian talk to her, and in my case, Lisière is just a decoy - after her, Mr.Crow (or a Final Boss type of subordinate, I can make one up if necessary) could come by, pull off a Thanos with "Fine, I'll do it myself" and then have a, uh, more massive, less discreet attack on the Dreadmill because Ella REALLY has to be terminated.

If the Dreadmill is damaged, Pango Lyn then has to be involved (because prevention of fun + destruction of home = vengeance, and if anyone aside Slayer can help spark a rebellion against people who wants to get rid of all Dreamfolks and Lucids, it's another Dreamfolk!
From there, our characters can pretty much meet naturally. Personally, my long-term goal for Pango Lyn is for him to complete his teaching of battling/fun to Adrian, and - if the Impalpables do destroy or damage his Dreadmill further - go to Mr.Crow and participate in his general butt-kicking. Well, and also finding his identity, but that'll happen as the two other objectives are set in motion. I guess the final objective would be creating another Dreadmill, or a second giant construction he'd call "home".

How about y'all? What d'you think of the suggestion, and how would your personal goals affect us as a whole, and allow all of our characters to meet?


The Impalpables could also set up some sort of event (either a tournament of some kind, or another type of gathering) specifically to round up all Dreamfolks/Lucids in one place, and then kill 'em all. Because there's nothing like a good old genocide to get rid of a problem, obviously! Well, for villains, anyway

Adrian just wants to be useful


Yeah, that sounds about right. :P

I really like your idea about rounding everyone up; then our characters can have a really good reason to team up and save the day. If that doesn't work out, we can always rely on one of my favorite tropes: everyone ends up meeting by chance in the same place, and then gets caught up in some sort of battle thanks to a specific person or part of the group. After that, they realize their similarities and decide that they need to team up.

Assuming that works with everyone else!
