Well if he really wanted, he could just shadow retreat again XD But that seems to lazy ^^;

He could. But there are funner ways to get out of this situation.  (Well, I suppose he could still give a verbal rebuttal a few feet further away.) Re-reading back, Dark Draco commented on how he was too weak. Take that as you will. |

Yeah, his main power source is kind of missing now... He has to rely on getting used to Draco's natural power if he wants to come back like he did before. And I'm writing my post now |

It'll be fun when it does. ^^
Take your time; I have to get back to my homework, and then it'll be bedtime for me, so I wouldn't expect another reply from me tonight.

I have to get to bed earlier then normal tonight to... (before 4 >.> Hopefully before 2...) Since I have things to do tomorrow, and have to get out by 10 when my dad heads off to do stuff, otherwise I'm stuck at home XD I'm half way though it right now. I'm just taking my time to think and rethink things as I do it |

A 3000+ character post - I haven't done one of those since earlier in the roleplay. Took quite a bit of energy to write, but at least I was able to get in the zone for it. (It's another late-night post.) As for the ending of that post, I'll admit that there's one main reason Kovaran won't immediately go after Strife: he doesn't know that it's Strife. Well, not yet...

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I feel that Strife actually won. Tabloid Town's been destroyed - or "cleansed" as he would put it - so in a way, things went according to his plan despite the destruction of the Underdeep persona. I mean, remember in the beginning of the RP when he actively sought to destroy the Underdeep? So you could say that the pirates did him a favor by destroying the Personification - now he doesn't have any obligations tying him down. ...having a grudge against a force-of-nature-esque entity, getting completely taken over by said entity and going around carrying out its will until someone else kills that entity and frees him? I suppose it doesn't exactly count as a loss there, but, well. Anyway, what's all this talk about Tabloid Town getting destroyed? We're talking about a city of millions here. It should well be the size of London or so. And the Underdeep monster hadn't even actually reached the city, if you recall. There's destruction, yes, but the entire city didn't get levelled, not by a long shot. I doubt most of the outskirts even noticed that something was wrong until the ooze came in and went out again. |

True. If Tabloid Town has its own spaceport, then it's probably larger than the word "Town" applies. ^^; As for whether or not Strife "won," I'm basing it on the fact that he wants to believe that he won, using whatever justification he can come up with. So if anyone else runs into him, he'll have a legitimate reason not to fight them and just leave. "My work is done here, so long suckers" and whatnot. xD; That is, of course, assuming that nothing else major comes up in the story. While I would've liked to see him get his arse kicked karma-style, there just isn't enough happening anymore to make it suitably climatic. So he'll probably have to get away with the things he's done for now. -_- |

True. If Tabloid Town has its own spaceport, then it's probably larger than the word "Town" applies. ^^; According to my map, it's something like fifteen miles across. Olden-day cities were actually more sprawling than modern cities, because they didn't have skyscrapers, so when more people showed up and needed more space, they could only extend outwards, not up. I doubt TT has many buildings that are higher than three stories. (Althought fifteen is kinda pushing it >> Should scale it down a little.) 'nyway, with my latest post, the Pirate Guild is done with this show. Meaning that at some point or other, the Horsemen should be back in town and then I'll move along to other guildstuff that needs to be moved. Although technically someone should've done that already, not like the GW has been anywhere near the definition of hogging all activity. |

I wrote up a closure post for Nasue... though, on further reflection, I think it might just be easier to resolve her fate in an epilogue. This means that I'll be focusing my creative energy on Kovaran until then.
Something tells me my epilogue post is going to be very long. >_>
I'll make my next post either later tonight or early tomorrow. But I'll post before the end of the month. Let's finish this before my birthday, okay? *BRICK'D*

As far as I'm concerned, yeah. xD I won't have any more reason to post unless Draco, Nasue, or Ikkin want a piece of Strife.
Whatever loose ends don't get tied up can simply be explained by our characters in the next major RP.

Nah, I'd rather have an epilogue here and there because I'm planning a Mage/Steampunk RP and with me being dead, it will be very hard to explain why I'm suddenly there aside from 'I Got Better'. So I want to make a last post where I'm resurrected. *should do that now* |

Whatever loose ends don't get tied up can simply be explained by our characters in the next major RP. Or in any follow-up RPs. I have plans for Drakhé in the Mages/Steampunk RP. I'll be honest; I had actually been waiting for Ikkin to make a reply, but... how do I put it politely? My patience ran out. There goes what little popularity I ever had. Hah, I'll be glad to just finish this RP. Though I'll make sure Kovaran at least gets a piece of Strife or gives Draco a good scare. XP |
