Now guys, with your permission I need to do exert some control over the party directed to the woods. When they are about to enter the woods, let me know. Nothing radical of course, just a trick to get them to lose time

you have my permission to do so
Ill make sure to drop you a message when the group gets there

If the group doesn't break apart before then, heh.

sure, whatever. I can work with it.

No issues here with Hubert doing stuff to try and slow them down.

Also, Brent, I never had Rena tell anyone where she lives, do how does Buster know that?
Any reasonable explanation works.

how does "I thought you had" work?
or maybe knowing she helps her mom, who runs the place, so he thought he'd catch her and the conversation, possibly going a while, might end up ther instead of wherever her house is.

Good!
It will happen when the group (miles, Buster, Rena, Gage, Duke, right?) is about to enter the forest.

Mister GM we need you over at the arcade! As soon as possible!

I'd seen him state something about being out for the weekend to celebrate the end of school or something somewhere, So I'd wait on him for a bit longer before doing any rushing off.

I was in the detroit area and away from my computer most of the weekend
sorry for the delay but I do try to have a life away from the computer

hey guys when I'm away please dont skip me in the rotation I know you're just trying to keep the RP going but if you need me to control an npc for story purposes please just wait instead of posting away and making it awkward for me.

Well, they were, and we will. But I was wondering. Since we have a mod or two couldn't one of them fill in for the actual GM if they are away for some reason like that?

I guess so
I'd prefer if they didn't(unless its something really petty) but It's possible.
sorry in advance if I slow the RP down but I have a busy summer ahead of me, I work 40 hrs a week, and I dont have wireles internet at my parents place, so I can't just get on the computer whenever I have a few spare minutes like I did during the school year .
I'll be on alot more when I move back into the dorms but until then I would hope that you guys can just bear with me.

In order to allow Seth to fill in without rush, I could start doing my part with Hubert now instead of waiting for the group to move to the forest.
Waddayathink?

I think that you have my blessing sir

sorry to bother you again, folks, but where is the party assembled right now?

currently, most of us are in the pizza place, while Rena is back home.

perfect, thank you. *whistles innocently*

you're up to something I know it. and I'm sure it will frustrate Buster to no end.
poor, emotionally confused bunny

Room for one more character here?

I suggest we wait for Seth for a moment, since we don't want to lose him.

I agree. it's bad to lose the GM

no problem, for what concerns the events external to Buster.
The bunny, as of now, is like stuck in another universe, and whatever is happening to him (in subjective time) is not connected to what the others are doing. This way, Brent and I can go on in perfect autonomy.

Yeah as Harlequin said, room for 1 more....well 2 more nows xD Oh wait no, read above, I can wait ^_^

oookay, Buster 'psych-out' time is over.

EDIT - situation's abck to normal, guys.

I'd like to start by saying you guys are amazing at stopping for a moment, because now where I had stopped for Seth, I fell behind.
And Rena wasn't the one who closed the front door, her mom was.
At least take note of what's happening when you're controlling things.

Thank you for taking a moment to pay attention.

well, we'll all have to stop for him now. I'll wait for a reply from him now. We're all in the same state of existence, so I'll hold up.
I strongly suggest others do the same.

Agreed.

Sorry sorry, I saw it but when we kept going, kinda lost track, my bad.

Just try to be a bit more mindful about what you do, not the others.

OK, since Leaf announced he'll be out for camp until next saturday 16 and just dropped the bomb, what's the plan?
Ignoring Rena since she was teleported back home by hubert?
Wait until saturday?

I'll be here 'til Sunday night, so we could try and wrap up the thing in two days, but I'm not sure how well that would work, since Seth doesn't seem to pay much attention to Applegate, which could be due to him falling behind as much as he has, or just being uninterested, I can't be sure.

It's not like Rena to sit this out though. We're talking the same girl who punched a wall because she felt she was being called weak, so I don't think she'd even have a nightmare about missing this.

Hmm, if the pizza place is close enough to Rena's place, she could storm in. After all, the minicontrol session is over. Within tomorrow we should be able to set things up.

Two blocks distance, that is nearly no distance at all with her.

Sure you'd be fine with that kind of metaphorical bomb being set off, since Rena is seriously bent and all?

well, the genie's out of the bottle. It would be unfair to keep Rena in the dark about Janus.

Okay, I'll try to throw Seth a line to pull him back in while I'm at it.

Edit: I've PM'd Seth to make sure he's still in, I'd like to wait a few hours to make sure he is.

Are we waiting for Seth again?

guess so

Would it help to do a rain dance or whatever to call upon our GM?
