    I'm figuring out what to do with Radley. There's likely going to be few interaction with other characters for him.

    Posted! This third chapter is mostly talking, exposition and setting things up, but the next chapter (besides the next one) will probably be more exciting.

    If I made a small footnotes entry, I'll edit in the new posts. I only had 3 stories in the last one, so the new ones are edited in to that post in case anyone is looking for them.

    Can I have a quick location check? I would just like to know where everyone is at this time~

    Currently in a as of yet unnamed village somewhere in the farmlands: about two day's travelling on foot to Lucrecia. Locke is in the next chapter journeying to Lucrecia, and will probably be there for awhile.

    I'm kind of just chilling waiting for this, since I put Cohen in a position to talk to Tala and I don't want to move him out until that interaction occurs.

    I believe I'm located around the islands of the northern bay.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    On a side note, I'd love for my character to interact with some others when he reaches Lucrecia. I do sort of have his main story plotted out for the next two or three chapters (a very rough idea, mind) but I'd be great to have him meet some people. I'm not entirely sure how I would go about that though. I've never RPed before, so I'm not exactly sure what the protocol is for using other people's characters.

    I'm currently headed into the Wylds, and I think there'll be someone in the area, but perhaps it's someone who hasn't posted in the RP yet. Orrrr I'm making something up and misread something. ;A;

    I'm I supposed to have a vague overall story idea for my character? I'm more kind of going with the flow and seeing what happens, since I don't know where we'll end up going or why or how outworlders ended up in Sedorra.

    Don't worry shion, I'm pretty much just going with the flow as well. I know things about what Cohen will want - like he's very curious, so he's going to be very interested to learn everything he can about this new world - but that's something that I will weave in however it fits. I don't have a plan.

    I'm making a live map with character links as well as a character list which is more accessible. Hopefully be done shortly.

    This isn't meant as a criticism, but I know I (and maybe others) are having trouble understanding some posts when they don't have regular (or any) line breaks.

    Generally in creative writing, new paragraphs are used to denote a new person speaking and/or a new idea. This allows for plenty of space and makes it a lot easier for readers to follow ideas. I've gotten lost a couple of times in posts where there has been a lot of dialogue from different people in the one paragraph and a lot of "he said" - it makes it hard to tell who exactly "he" is referring to each time it's used.

    It would be super helpful if people leant on the enter key a little more and put in a few more line breaks - I don't want to have to skip over anyone's posts just because I find them hard to follow.

    I agree. Having line breaks makes post easier to read and helps me understand who is saying what to whom. This is especially useful for someone who doesn't speak English as their mother tongue such as myself.

    Speaking plots, I do have an overarching plotline for my characters, but I'm also more than happy to adapt depending on what they end up experiencing and who they end up interacting with. Part of the fun is just going with the flow and just seeing what happens.

    Also, Haruko and Nargul are presently in Lucrecia.
