Trials of Khordom: The Beginning

He is using his own blood as a weapon, so it is not unlimited and he suffers blood loss like everyone else. In the demon mode, however, it only leads to severe exhaustion and he falls unconscious for half a day after he transforms back. Do you think this would work?

[Cifero Windtail]

Alright.... that's good. Welcome.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand Aolith just got completely ignored. Thanks a lot guys. -_-

...Uh, Kiva?  That was at least somewhat joking, right?  You didn't seriously just drop that with so little warning and mean for us to gasp and take that seriously, right?  I... genuinely can't tell.  I can't even BEGIN to tell.

[Cifero Windtail]

She's right, you can't just drop that.

[kivabunny]

why can't i? i honestly don't expect anything, it is part of my characters personality to explain things in such a way...in angel she is a kid...picture 7 years old
her age however is 70 years if you go by earth time
time works very differently for those that have exceedingly long lives

[Aldrea945]

There's no lead in, no lead out, and it doesn't help the situation.  If I just walked up to you and told you my life story for no reason, you'd probably think I was nuts.  Being open about things is one thing, but just saying things because people are leaving to other parts without a reason is pretty pointless.  It derails the conversation for the sole purpose of focusing on something or someone else, often alienating others.  It's uncomfortable at the least.

Vi clapped a hand over Aspen's mouth before she could reply. "Oh, she's... from around," she said quickly, giving Aspen a look that said not now.Jynx shrugged. "Yeah... um, we'll tell you later, Rachel..."

it is later

...Kiva, that would have been a lead in AT THE TIME.  Had Rachel asked further, that'd be a good time to open up a bit.  Not with everything, but some.  Right now?  There was NOTHING to give us warning.  No conversation starter, nothing to add to the conversation, just dropped out of the sky like a T-Rex in a horse costume.  Lead up from several pages back isn't lead up.  It's a Road to Nowhere, or, in this case, a missed opportunatity.

[kivabunny]

ok...so what do you want me to do about it?

[Aldrea945]

Right now, there's nothing to do to really save the post.  Just...  Try not to drop something like that without warning.  Prevention is the best correction. 

[Cifero Windtail]

Yeah, that does seem to be the obvious solution...




Anyway, I think I'll wait a bit before I post... it wouldn't make sense to arrive just as I left.

[Aldrea945]

Would you mind if I made a second character?  For some convenience.  Involving Rachel in every scene is tiring and can get irritating to other players.  It'd be an older character, probably good side, and if you give me the say so, I could make a third, full villain character. 

(I really hope I wasn't overstepping my boundaries earlier...  Sorry if I was.)

[Cifero Windtail]

Go right ahead, I'm fine with it. And I totally get you.

[Jormungdang]

Speaking of which, is anyone going to post?
