Thread: The Fibers of Fate (Jovialtraveler x MysteriousD)

Diego saw her grab one of the Scissor Blades and wielded it like a natural. She looked confident and assertative. She was his type. He liked women who could likely beat the sauce out of him. Wel, also nice women and from what he saw from being around her, she was pretty nice. The common research was that they were parasites who fed on life force. But where did they come from? Why control people and destroy entire worlds to try and do so? But here... there is somewhere else they came from in the stars. Like the Fibers came from an unnatural source. Like something made them, Diego noted to them before he sighed in tiredness. In fact, the only other people who know this besides be formed a cult. The Moirai Cult, Diego said before he realized she probably wouldn't have heard of the Moirai. The Moirai were from Greek lore, the three goddesses of fate who spun the yarns of fate, he explained.

Seems a little pretentious, isnt it? Or are they saying they follow something like that? I would Have imagined theyd go for Arachne. She untied the scrap of fabric and let out a shout of alarm when it seemed to fly at Diego, consuming his shirt.... and leaving him in a familiar sailor suit. She couldnt help but snicker at how ridiculous it looked, since he was still wearing the bottom half of his wetsuit, before her eyes went wide in recognition. Senketsu? I thought you were completely destroyed. The outfit stripped itself off of Diego and chuckled a little. So did I, but part of me must have survived on the scissor blade. Perhaps a piece fell off during my... death.
Thread: The Fibers of Fate (Jovialtraveler x MysteriousD)

Well, I don't know what's going on, Diego noted before he saw the needle was glowing a bit. What the? Diego said looking at the Great Needle before he saw it glow more at the scrap of fabric Ryuko took from the Scissor Blade island. When he touched it, the fabric glowed red and so did the Needle. Yikes! Diego said as the the scrap of fabric went to his wetsuit. As he did, the Great Needle followed, with various threads was unfolding and furling at the whims of the Great Needle though it was mixing in with the fabric. It was like the scrap cloth was it. Before he knew it, Diego felt a bit uncomfortabe, something was on him. He looked down and saw it was a sailor fuku... that had a face. Also, he saw the Great Needle had settled down. And then the Fuku talked... and his name was Senketsu. He was probably one of those Life Fiber special clothings, but for one to talk was something special. He winced when he felt it come off of him. The Great Needle. It must have reacted to your remnant Life Fibers and caused you to regenerate with the top part of my divesuit, Diego said, fascinated by the turn of events. He then winced and grabbed his side. Also, given how the Life Fiber uniforms drink blood, it looks like you took a sip of me from the cut I got the day before, Diego told Senketsu. Looks like I guess that means I was responsible for bringing you back, Diego said as he noted the big smile on Ryuko and Senketsu's faces at being reunited.
Thread: The Fibers of Fate (Jovialtraveler x MysteriousD)

Ryuuko smiled at him, not sure whether to say thank you or catch Senketsu up with her life, going in favor of the latter. Senketsu, youre not going to believe it, but I got a job! It only pays just enough for food and this apartment, but its something. Thats wonderful, the uniform replied, smiling, so who is this? That needle of his seems to be able to make life fiber garments within moments.
Thread: The Fibers of Fate (Jovialtraveler x MysteriousD)

Diego liked her smile. Ryuko's smile. During his short time he wa sknowing her, she had a confrontational or even a bit of a tired look, yet seeing her happy was a nice moment. My name is Diego Vendrix. I'm from the United States. I came here looking for Ryuko because of stuff her dad is, Diego said before he heared Senketsu comment on his needle. It's the Great Needle it's called. In the same way those Scissor Blades can cut down Life Fibers, the Great Needle can kinda manipulate and change them. Or in your case, brought you back to life by having the Life Fibers reconstitute you through normal fibers, Diego said as he was showing them the Great Needle. He was feeling a bit more self-conscious being bare-chested in front of a lady though he laid down and began feeling very tired. Sorry... just been feeling really tired last couple of days, he told her.
Thread: The Fibers of Fate (Jovialtraveler x MysteriousD)

If you want, you can sleep on the couch or something. Ill see if I cant find you a shirt. Truth be told, Ryuuko didnt mind his shirtless state, but it would be a bit rude to just leave him like that. Ryuuko goes to the closet and tosses Diego a shirt before taking out a clothes hanger and putting Senkutsubon it so he could sleep as well. She looked around for a blanket, before tossing a large one onto the couch, and rearranging the pillows to make a bed of sorts.
Thread: The Fibers of Fate (Jovialtraveler x MysteriousD)

Diego smiled at her before he got a shirt. It was a pretty big one and so he put it on. He went to the sofa. Thank you, he managed to say before removing his glasses and then just crashing onto the sofa and falling alseep immediatel on the sofa. It was a long day and he needed the rest. Hours past by... Diego began stirring. He felt... kinda bleh. Made sense given he was still a bit tired, he didn't shower and slept in half a wetsuit and he was hungry. However, he did feel better and a bit more focused. He groaned a bit as he put on his glasses and checked the time. It was about 11 AM in Japan and he got here at around 10 PM so he slept nearly 12 hours at Ryuko's place.
Thread: The Fibers of Fate (Jovialtraveler x MysteriousD)

Ryuuko was making a lunch for herself, the laptop on the table as she took her class online, occasionally writing a note. She was in Senketsu, glancing over at the screen every few seconds. Oh, youre up. Sorry if there isnt anything for you to wear. Hope you have some clothes in your bag.
Thread: The Fibers of Fate (Jovialtraveler x MysteriousD)

Diego got up and he was feeling a bit light-headed though he saw Ryuko in her pajamas were taking a class online while making lunch. She was wearing the talkign fuku, Senketsu, on her. No worries. Thank you for the hospitality, Diego said to her as he was on his feet and feeling a bit better. Looking at her working on her paper reminded Diego that she was just like him. Diego was going to college, but took a semester off so he could pursue this. Granted, he was lucky his university was pretty accepting the fact that his old boss pulled some strings to ensure he wouldn't get any loss and even get some beenfits from this little thing helped though. We'll talk later though we should probably exchange phone numbers, Diego told her. Once they did, Diego waved at her good-bye before began taking the long trek to his hotel. He arrived, checked in and he took a long shower and got dressed into some new clothes before taking another nap. When he would wake up, it'd be the late afternoon. He decided to call Ryuko and see if she was there. He wanted to talk to her so why not invite her out to eat?
Thread: The Fibers of Fate (Jovialtraveler x MysteriousD)

Ryuuko has worked on school all day, periodically glancing at the old scissor blades, still gleaming despite having been submerged for months. She picked up her phone and looked at the number, remembering it was Diego. Hey. Whats up? She asks, putting away hEr school supplies, then glancing at the clock. Has she been working that long already
Thread: The Fibers of Fate (Jovialtraveler x MysteriousD)

Hey Ryuko, I was wondering if you'd like to meet up so we can continue talking about what we were discussing last night. Maybe I can invite out for dinner or something, Diego proposed to her while he was looking online for someplaces for them to be able to eat. What are some things you like? Diego asked her.
Thread: The Fibers of Fate (Jovialtraveler x MysteriousD)

That sounds nice, and a little bit like a date, but if he got handsy, she could take him. She wasnt going to say lemons, that would be.... odd, so she said well I like seafood. Are you allergic?
Thread: The Fibers of Fate (Jovialtraveler x MysteriousD)

No, I like seafood, Diego told her with a smile. He was a bit surprised to hear her say yes, given that he heard she had a bit of an abrasive or at least aloof attitude to her. Then again, hard to say no to free food. So we could probably meet at this place... Diego began saying as they were making plans to go to a casual place. It was quiet and out of the way so they could talk without being noticed. Hours past by and before Diego knew it, he was waiting for Ryuko outside the establishment. It was very casual so he was just wearing a t-shirt, cargo shorts and shoes. He had the needle with them, having it with him like a walking stick to disguise it.
Thread: The Fibers of Fate (Jovialtraveler x MysteriousD)

Ryuuko came wearing Senketsu, with the scissor blades in a guitar case. Shed decided to opt for subtlety when it came to carrying them around, but she wanted to keep them with her. She had decided to wear a jacket and leggings with her kamui, along with a pair of sneakers. All in all, she looked like she was in a rock band, but that suited her just fine. Nice place you picked, she looked around. Truth be told, she was getting used to being more friendly, but she was trying, darnit.
Thread: The Fibers of Fate (Jovialtraveler x MysteriousD)

Diego saw Ryuuko arrive, wearing Senketsu. It was definitely an iconic look, plus he figured the sentient fuku deserved to know as much as Ryuko did about their place. He saw she carried a guitar case, where he suspected the scissor blades were in. He couldn't help but smile inwardly. He definitely would've had a crush on her if they went to high school together. Yeah, it's pretty decent and out of the way so we should be able to talk without anyone bothering us, Diego said as he led them inside. And indeed it was quiet. They were the only people in here besides the chefs and the person manning the register. Diego led them to a distant table. Once they ordered their meals, Diego turned to her. All right, what questions do you have regarding everything I told you yesterday? Diego asked her.

Thread: On delays, disappearances and other disasters.

We all like having a healthy game with a brisk pace. Riveting posts that cross back and forth, each one building on the others before... until one day it stops. Your partner doesn't post as usual, or the next day, or the week after. Maybe they informed you of the reason, maybe they didn't. It can be real life being a bummer, or just a simple lack of inspiration. And it hurts, of course it does, you feel wronged as the other side doesn't do their part, and rightly so, as you have struggled through sometimes and never failed. But you know what? They have it worse. They also loved what you two were making. They also struggled through posts, possibly even before they had to stop writing. They are also without a game and it's on their hand to continue it but they can't. So before you pressure them, call them out or otherwise become part of the problem because you are hurt, try to communicate, to be helpful. Maybe that way things will get sorted out and not only will you behave like a decent person, but also you both will have your game back sooner. I wanted to get that out my chest, but instead of journaling it, I thought it could become an interesting topic of discussion, so here it is.
Thread: On delays, disappearances and other disasters.

Yeah. If they reply to your pms.
Thread: On delays, disappearances and other disasters.

I know we talked about this before but I wanted to convey my thoughts here so others from either perspective could see. I'm currently on that side where I feel like I'm letting my partners down. Admittedly I have more RP's than I can handle but my IRL life has not been the greatest which has made it increasingly more difficult to keep up. For those on the receiving end of this sort of thing I apologize on behalf of many who are slow or unable to keep up. It's tough and atleast for me there's a lot of guilt because as sigr mentioned I certainly want to RP. Most of the time my brain is on RP plots or one of my ongoing plays. Im always thinking about it, but being able to muster the strength and energy to do so can be so hard and that's beyond frustrating. Some partners just disappear and that can hurt, others may give a reason before they do so but it can still be hard especially if the RP meant something to you. Ive been on the recieving end as well and lost RP's that still stick with me to this day. To those currently in the same place as me, where you feel like irl issues have made it difficult to keep up with your parnters, dont get discouraged. do what you can. People will understand, IRL always comes first. 3
Thread: On delays, disappearances and other disasters.

As someone who has up and stopped replying to his RP's for a time - and I know saying that openly isn't attractive to potential writing partners, generally when it happens to me, 95 Of the time it's depression related. I can get super jazzed for an RP, but a spell of depression hits, and by the time I feel in a better place to write, it can be hard to actually write or try to apologize after that time. This isn't a 'woe is me' sort of thing - up and just dropping an RP on someone is not the best thing to do, I know. But in general when it happens, it's an awful feeling and it's not always easy to get back up on the horse. Conversely, when my partner is the one who slips away and comes back some time later i'll pretty much always give them another chance as long as they apologize. I don't even need an explanation from them. This is a hobby and we should do it for fun, not out of obligation which can leave us just as drained and disengaged from it.
Thread: On delays, disappearances and other disasters.

Flaking is the blight of all forms of play-by-post RP. Personally, I'm okay if someone wants to pause or leave a thread, but what drives me crazy is when they just vanish without saying anything. Really, how many crises do people have that leave them unable to take 5 minutes to PM and say Sorry, RL's being bitchy, need to pause stop our story.? Of course, the only time I vented at a player in a PBP game for leaving with no explanation, it turned out they were having life-saving spinal surgery, so now I give them the benefit of the doubt. It's still annoying and dispiriting, though.
Thread: On delays, disappearances and other disasters.

Yes, quite honestly I get ghosted CONSTANTLY. No one ever writes more than a handful of posts with me before disappearing without explanation. I guess I'm just not a very interesting writer. Too detailed, not kinky enough, I dunno. I bore people. Finally starting to get the point that I should just quit all this. If you bang your head against a wall for enough years all you get is a sore head.
Thread: On delays, disappearances and other disasters.

This was intended to make people think on the other part of the equation that isn't themselves when a game slows, pauses or stops. Communication is key, not only planning the game but also when things go south. Sometimes is the game, but other times is just life. Enjoy what you can while it lasts, and through a clear and honest channel of communication try to either work things out or at least understand the reasons for it to stop. No one is benefited by silence, blame shifting, defeatism or any other negative thoughts.

That's why I always give an appropriate amount of time before friendly 'check-ins' and I call then check-ins because I've been threatened with instant dropignore by someone once if I ever poke or nudge no matter how many months go by. I also understand if someone just suddenly stops logging in. Life totally happens. There's unemployment, too much employment, illness, family, relationships, movingaccess to internet, computer issues, I get all of that. But literally more than half the time the partner is still online, usually daily, posting to other threads and bumping their requests, all the while ignoring my sparse and friendly messages, leaving me in utter silence. Every year it gets worse and worse and worse. The only common factor is me. It must be me. I guess it's time to pack it in.

Thread: On delays, disappearances and other disasters.

Well, if it's an objectively continuing trend not just a blip in time or just a spell of bad luck one should ask themselves how to improve their chances. It can be something you do, part of what you write, how to present yourself or the kind of players you tend to attractyou are attracted to. I'm not saying that it's the fault of either of the sides, but things don't happen in a vacuum are the more aware we are about the circumstances the better our experience will be.

The play-by--post forums on RPG.net have a name-and-shame policy for posters who abandon threads without saying anything while continuing to post elsewhere. It seems like a good addition.
Thread: On delays, disappearances and other disasters.

It seems prone to abuse and conductive to negativity, honestly.
Thread: On delays, disappearances and other disasters.

Yeah that sounds like an awful policy that is more likely to hurt those who unintentionally have to pause or abandon RP's due to irl issues.
Thread: On delays, disappearances and other disasters.

I do think people could write two words to say they quit, even without explaining... Or at the very least reply if pmed about it. I had to run a couple years ago when my uncle died on another continent and I was awaited for the ceremony... But if someone pmed me to ask what was up, I did reply, even if it took one week or whatever.

The important bit in what I said is while continuing to post elsewhere, rather than someone who just stops entirely for any number of reasons. If you're posting on the site including starting new RP's and bumping your seeking thread in some cases!, then you can spare 30 seconds to drop a PM to say Sorry, I need to pause quit this RP..

As someone who has been on the far side of the equation, allow me to posit one of the possible causes to this issue anxiety. Sometimes, one lets a story languish for too long, with any number of reasons from absentmindedness to lack of drive to distaste to anything else. Then one receives a message, and no matter how it is phrased or how patient the other party has been, the only thing one can think of is how disappointed their partner surely must be, the unknowable reality notwithstanding. What can I say to them? One asks themselves, How can I make amends? And the answer never comes. And the safe option, in err though it obviously is, is to let the bridge be burned rather than risk reprisal that, in truth, would never come if one did not surrender to ever-expanding worry. But surrender one does, and one knows not how to make things right again. Sometimes, it's because we're afraid you're already upset and we can't make it up to you. Not always some people are just jerks, but some of us are social cowards.
Thread: On delays, disappearances and other disasters.

Thank you very much Erit for sharing that. I try to be as reassuring as possible with my partners, because as I said when a game pauses it bothers both people on it without mattering which one posted last, so getting angry about it and pressuring your partner is not just being an asshole, it also won't get neither of you anywhere. Think that you are just making BMR to be a part of their troubles and concerns instead of a safe place to enjoy as it should be. I think that it goes without saying that this thread is about normal delays and disappearances, advising to be understanding and all that, not somewhere to whine about malicious or capricious ghosting. We all feel the need to vent when we get hurt, but remember that empathy is a powerful tool.
