  3. Maybe we should start looking around for other options?
  4. I just got hit by a wave of nostalgia.

    I was just looking around my room when I got hit by a wave of nostalgia. All the things around me carry memories. On my board, I have my name tag from the AMIS, and my name tag from Iquitos. Below them, on my desk, is the pinecone from Pamuri - the dolphin from Iquitos, and more recently, my gavel from Rome. Across the room, I have the turtles and odd vial flip thingy I played with when I was much younger - alongside ceramics from Lima, my Wings of Fire and Stuart Gibbs collections, and my Cosmere book shelf.

    Is this what life is? Remembering? The present fading? What even is the point in the present? Just to keep going? Putting one step after another? What the hell are we doing?

    Right now, I’m listening to Imagine Dragons. I like it. A month from now, I’ll feel differently.

    I don’t enjoy the present. I don’t enjoy my classes, or the fact that I’ll have to stress about the upcoming Science and National Studies summatives and should have done my homework yesterday but didn’t. What the hell am I doing? I do this stuff because it is expected of me. Because if I don’t follow this system, what will come of my life? But if I follow it, what will come of my life anyways?

    I don’t know.

    1. Through the Living Wrath

      Through the Living Wrath

      You, me, and my lucky chime will sing together until the great gate opens!

  5. Edit: Just checked The aftermath post barely edges out the Cuz I'm Bored one with a total of 1275 words
  6. Bruh Honestly, that's kinda me everywhere... Think this one from Cuz I'm Bored might take the cake: Although this ridiculously long post from an SE aftermath might pose some competition: So... yeah
  7. Also: No, I don't care how common it is, it's kinda the purpose of this thread
  8. Welcome all! Sorry I’m a little late We offer free hugs, emotional support, advice and rare bouts of true wisdom among the insanity Like Coder and Hawks said, we’re open to anyone, and we’re always here to hear you out Slight warning though, most of the people here are teens, which means they can be a little intense Hey! You’re not new! (but you’re still welcome) That’s so real though
  9. Evinir was exhausted when he visited Ekkar's body. Edgli... Edgli had proved useless. Hoid had told him to speak of them with greater respect, but it was true. Yet the visit hadn't been a complete failure. The Spike in Evinir's case proved that. Yet right now, his thoughts didn't linger on hemallurgy. They were focused on the corpse of the man lying before him. After his murder, Ekkar was given a priest's service - his body presented to viewers for a full week before burial. Today was the last day. Evinir was the only visiter. The priest at the doors of the chamber had been quiet, remorseful. Evinir had expected a short visit; originally, he hadn't even planned to make this visit - but something inside of him demanded it of him. So he had come. Now, he knelt before the open coffin, unsure of what to do. But feeling an emptiness inside. An emptiness he hadn't felt in a long time... so long. The emptiness of loss. Ekkar had trusted him, and that had gotten him killed. A part of his conscience told him that was Ekkar's own mistake, and yet the guilt still loomed over Evinir. He felt a wetness begin to well in his eye, and blinked it away. He could not crack. Never again. Looking for anything to distract himself, Evinir looked over Ekkar's clothing. And noticed something. Ekkar still wore the same clothes he had had on when he died. They had been washed, but not thoroughly examined. And so certain things could slip through. Like a secret pocket, carefully sewn into the flaps of the priests' robes, the perfect size to conceal a slip of paper. Slowly, carefully, Evinir pulled the note out. It was crumpled from constant manipulation, the ink blurring. But Evinir could read it. Lifeless Chamber 4 17:00 The note Evinir had slipped into Ekkar's reassignment, directing him to meet. A meeting that had accomplished nothing. Like so many other things. In that instant, Evinir couldn't hold it back. It all returned. The memories. The pain. The constant fear, the doubting, the meaninglessness. The blood. It all crashed down upon him with the weight of ten years. And for the first time in so, so long, Evinir Cragborn wept.
  10. Thank you to everyone for making this an incredible game! First and foremost, a huge thank you to Jo for running this on relatively short notice and pulling off an incredible game. Don't be so hard on yourself - the game design was a little confusing, but it was still super fun. And by the way, those writeups were amazing CD, TOW, Ksauce (and Xino)... you guys almost pulled it off there, but just barely fumbled it in C4. Consider this a congratulations for what could have been Araris, I'm sorry once again for the turn C3 - I'm still figuring out the strategy for this game, and maybe following my gut wasn't the best idea Well... they were played pretty obviously, but things did fit together quite nicely at the end there I'll make a longer RP post tomorrow when I have time, but first, @A Jo in the Bush, it isn't letting me access the docs... it just redirects me back to this thread
  11. Sooo can I use my own Order-inspired magic system?
  12. This looks cool I’ll make a character later When you say any magic system, can we make our own? And to what extent can we create new Cosmere lore? I had a magic system I was going to use for the Shard of Order in the Arvus RP a while back, but, well, you know where that went
  13. Formless - a parody of HOPE by NF Spoilers for RoW

      oooo congrats!!!

  15. *squeeze* Yeah, them praying for you to "realize who you are" is just messed up Not sure how to help you, but I hope you feel better And yes, TAKE YOUR MEDS
  16. I’m sorry I took a while to get to this But sincerely, I feel you *squeeze* I don’t know the extent of your problems, but I know the way that stuff piles on quickly And like you said, it isn’t necessarily about strength It’s about it being hard to take comfort in future warmth when the suffering is now My advice? My really inexperienced suggestion that has been working for me recently? Find something different to do. It could be playing a sport, or an instrument, or joining a club, or even something as simple as doing more exercise. But monotony breeds discontent. Yay! Best of luck! I’m in drama class at my school, and it seems like we might finally begin to be doing plays appropriate for our age, but we’ll have to see Problem is, half the class are soccer boys who put in zero effort and can hardly read their lines
  17. Make a vote Cause time is up
  18. Ekkar whispered under his breath. It was a prayer, repeated again and again. He prayed to the God King, to the Returned. He prayed to Austre, for the first time in his life. The moon was high in the sky, the courtyard empty. From the shadows on its borders, silent eyes looked in. Waiting. ”Goodbye, Arlun.”
  19. Edit: Note that I find Araris’ self/vote even more elim-indicative A villager should never resign themselves to death I’ll accept it from BBB, but not from an experienced player like Araris who has advocated over doing everything possible In my eyes, clouded though they may be, this reads like an attempt to clear oneself after seeing the effect it had on BBB
