Emeralis00 she/her Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 I was trying to illustrate that Krh'rhl really didn't want to be there, and the surprise of a sudden drop in noise caused him to panic. You say that he 'tunneled', but I thought Earthshells could merge with rock? Also, Krh'rhl may try to fix the pileup, and yes people will be mad, but being an Earthshell I fear that he would only cause more of a pileup.

Also, Krh'rhl may try to fix the pileup, and yes people will be mad, but being an Earthshell I fear that he would only cause more of a pileup. It's a little of both, to be honest. It's merging the shell into the ground while the true body buries itself underground for either protection or movement. It can be done seamlessly, of course, but that takes a little more time and focus to achieve. I'm assuming in Krh's state of panic he didn't have the prescience to execute such a flawless maneuver and instead just channeled a quick escape tunnel and filled it in behind him, hence figuring there was a little dirt involved. Think of it like this; Earth is like water to Earthshells. They can move through it as easily and naturally as a fish, but unless they have a few moments to properly plot their 'dive' it's still going to make a bit of a 'splash'. That help clear it up?

That makes sense.
borborygmus Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Woo a post! Sorry again for taking so long. I'm dealing with a chronic lack of imagination at the moment, and my ability to put words together is rusty.
KChan she/her Posted September 20, 2011 Author Posted September 20, 2011 Yeah, I'm feeling that too; it's hard to get Kiki's voice down right in narrative form. By the way, Emer, did you have any particular idea in mind of what sort of gem Krh'hrl gave Kiki, or should we just make something up?
Emeralis00 she/her Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I wasn't sure how expensive to make the gem, so I left it open ended. You can choose what it is if you like.
KChan she/her Posted September 20, 2011 Author Posted September 20, 2011 Don't worry, I doubt Kiki is going to want to sell a gift an Earthshell gave her.
Emeralis00 she/her Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) What I meant was, I wasn't sure how expensive of a gem Kuri would allow Krh'rhl to dig up. Granted, it was for story purposes, but such things can be abused. Edited September 21, 2011 by Emeralis00
KChan she/her Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 Yeah, true. Also, this episode of StEC is brought to you by Trivia Master Harran, apparently. Because you never know when you'll need to know what stucco is made of.
Emeralis00 she/her Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 That was interesting. Also, I didn't intend for the sand cloud to have quite that much power, it was really only supposed to be a small cloud. Though it did provide some exposition.

Granted, it was for story purposes, but such things can be abused. It's no Hope Diamond, but it ain't cubit zirconium either. Earthshells have a knack for all things earthen, metals and gems included, it's probably a nice little rock, regardless.
borborygmus Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 I finally edited my tag...sorry. I have had three exams this week, in emerging/exotic disease, bacteriology, and oncology. D:
KChan she/her Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 It happens! We're moving again now though!
borborygmus Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Krh'rhl didn't like how the man got closer.This is how they communicate unfortunately. They are social creatures and like to herd. Emeralis, this was an awesome snippet xD made me laugh
KChan she/her Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 It made me laugh too. XD As did Kiki going into geek-speak, because it's rare that I actually get to do that. X3 Fun fact: I have it on good authority (IE: from IMs with Kuri) that the Earthshells steer clear of the Highlands, which is what gives Vhaskari researchers (and miners, and so on and so forth) access to the underground. They don't like the blue crystal array that one of the Enlightened built around the node there.
The Oblivious Monk he/him Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Hullo everyone. *waves* Midterms are through...so...can I play now? The little kid of me is bouncing around now. 1
Kuri Shardweaver he/him Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Hullo everyone. *waves* Midterms are through...so...can I play now? The little kid of me is bouncing around now. Good to know! Yay done with midterms! We'll hopefully get things rolling in your direction very soon!
Emeralis00 she/her Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Um, everyone is still alive correct? Edited November 8, 2011 by Emeralis00
Comatose he/him Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 I'm still here! Just busy with school. Too busy .
KChan she/her Posted November 9, 2011 Author Posted November 9, 2011 I was also very preoccupied getting ready for Alloy.
Kuri Shardweaver he/him Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 And I've been busy working two jobs, so yeah. Been mentally dead, especially as far as writing's concerned. I'll try and get things moving again here shortly. Also, @Em: You are waiting on me to GM the Wagon-master, yes?

I was being facetious anyways. yeah, I just need something to start with then I can go into more detail.
Kuri Shardweaver he/him Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Its okay. I was being facetious anyways. yeah, I just need something to start with then I can go into more detail. Alright, I'll see what I can do for you in the next couple of days.
Kuri Shardweaver he/him Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Sorry for the extended void of posting on my part, at least. Between muse issues, the holidays, and now my net being a PITA, it's been really hard to post e.e
Kuri Shardweaver he/him Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Doubleposting, but hey, it's my forum, I do what I want!! In the interest of discussion, I wanted to ask: The Tolvera Incident seems to be slow going at the moment, and that appears to be slowing the rest of the rp down. Would anyone be particularly against moving it to a back burner, work-on-as-desired status and moving into a more interesting arc? I'd thought about starting a thread for one of the 'sidequests' such as the Bazaar, but I wanted to make sure everyone was okay with suddenly being thrown into some action/interaction first XD. Lemme know what you gentlemen and ladies think!
