Okay, so, after a couple days deliberating what to say on this matter, I have come to the perfect sentence: This is stupid. *Grumbles grumbily about people not understanding separation of church and state from either viewpoint*

Dang, this looks deep. Probably not the safest thing for me to play but meh. I'll comment more once I've finished EDIT: Okay, holy wow, that hurt. I am literally in tears right now It felt so oppressive. Whenever I disobeyed I was berated and told it was wrong. And whenever I tried to obey it felt like I could never do good enough and would get yelled at anyways. The narrator forced me into a role I didn't belong in (I'm very sensitive to misgendering ;n;) And tried to tell me it owned me. I was legitimately terrified to fail, and yet I did almost every time. As the game went on the things it asked of me became harder and harder, to the point of being impossible to do on the first try (and you only really get one try) If it hadn't ended where it had I likely would just be curled up in the fetal position bawling my eyes out right now And despite all this that monster had the gall to tell me it loved me? ;n; My parents are far from abusive (or at least I assume they are, maybe I'm just naive...) and yet the feelings I harbor for the narrator are nigh identical to how I feel towards my mother. And that, above all else, is what really scares me

Indeed, his face is the most prominent in Cassidy's insanity owo

Lol. Well, overall I'd prefer people ask Sarcy or I since we're sorta running the RP. But you're plenty knowledgeable so I didn't want to exclude you either owo *Stabs Huk-chan*

Right, so I think Huk and Sarcy have covered things P well, but Ima go ahead and answer questions NEways since maybe their explanations won't make sense to some people and mine will (though the reverse is more likely XD) Also @bfroger, I'll Pm you a bit later to discuss your Master Yes. We're having all seven masters and servants be RP'd. The Master/Servant thing isn't too complicated, the Master just uses their power to keep the Servant in the world in return for the Servant fighting for them in the war. Yeah, Command Seals are definitely going to be a thing. And in some cases a necessity for dealing with hard to control servants. From the OP: Each war servants will be summoned from the Throne of Heroes (AKA the big list in the second post of this OOC). Not every servant will be summoned, only seven. You may create as many servants as you like to be added to the Throne of Heroes. From the OP: I feel it's worth mentioning that as of right now I am likely the only one who has a chance of playing multiple servants (this chance goes down if Flux posts a few servants owo) 1. No, not in the slightest. Whilst they're simpler to fit in, there's no rule stating this. In fact some sci-fi style characters would be nice 2. So while I could give a fancy explanation, Ima just put it in words I think you'll get. Think of Noble Phantasms as skills in a MOBA. They're what makes a Servant unique in personality and combat style (and if you read through my servants in this, esp. Layla, you'll see where I've drawn inspiration from this comparison) 3. A is the highest on the standard ranking scale and is basically the equivalent of a demigod. Occasionally a stat or Noble Phantasm may fall outside this scale and will thus be given an EX rating (for example Alexus's "Goddess of Luck" NP makes it impossible to surpass her when it comes to areas of Luck, thus her Luck stat is ranked EX) 4. Personal skills are similar to NPs but are not necessarily unique to the Servant in question and nowhere near as strong. There's a full list of canonical skills on the Type-Moon wiki, but you're allowed to create new personal skills within reason if none of those fit (EX: All the ANKL goddesses have the Goddess Incarnate skill which is not present in any canon Fate characters) You can technically use as many as you want but try not to go overboard If you need help putting together Servant sheets PM me or Sarcy (or Huk), we'd be glad to help

The midwest is looking forward to it

*Pops back in* Also, as a resident of the state of Ohio, I actually really like Kasich. Not really sure I'd want him as president, but I do generally like the man overall *Goes back to not knowing anything*

We'd be happy to have you ^^ I'm not totally certain where whether we have any in-progress masters, but as of right now we have room for two more Also, while it's not necessary, more variety of servants to summon is always nice so if you have any old charries laying around they'd be appreciated

...Oh crap, you mean I have to start paying attention to politics already? It's only August D: Personally I don't know very much yet so I'll refrain from commenting on candidates (outside the fact that I'm not much of a Trump fan :/ ) But from what I've seen so far, this is going to be a very interesting presidential race

Lilith Lilith's morning had been a blur. She had awoken in the nurse's office and been through a number of tests before being given a clean bill of health. She wasn't sure what had happened, but people seemed to be looking at her even funnier than before. She got her room assignment from Miss Katherine and had somehow managed to make her way to her room. She opened the door to find her partner already inside. The rooms were essentially split in half, there was a set of a bed, nightstand, desk, and chair on each side with a window in the back separating them. The floor was of a gorgeous dark wood and had a rectangular rug that was patterned in alternating rings of gold and black--Lilith wondered a moment if this might signify the lines of the occupants--in the center. She turned to Arya and did her best to smile, before noticing a rather nasty burn on her partner's face. "Oh my!" Lilith exclaimed, "What happened? Does it hurt? Why is everyone staring at me?" The last question wasn't really related to the burn, but Lilith had been dying to ask it all morning. It wasn't just that people were looking at her different, Layla felt different too. She felt there was something she had forgotten, something sat at the back of her mind demanding she reach out and grab it, but whenever she tried it just fell back into the oblivion beyond her reach. It was agitating, because she was sure it was important for her to remember, but she just couldn't. Lexi In high contrast to Lilith, Lexi's morning had been painstakingly slow. Her partner, Sharp, had seemed interesting at first, but seemed nigh impossible to hold a conversation with. Currently Lexi was laying on her belly staring at the blue and purple rug on the floor whilst Sharp engrossed her self in a book. "Ugh, I'm bored." Lexi groaned finally, "What are you reading?" "It is a book about a hypothetical subatomic particle known as a quark." Sharp answered matter-of-factly, "Currently it is discussing the possible implications of a star composed entirely of these particles." "Ooh, that sounds cool." "Indeed, for it to exist it would have to be at temperatures near absolute zero." "No, I was showing interest." "Then why did you not say so? If you like you may read it, I have many other books." Sharp held out the book. "Oh nonono, I much prefer hearing you talk about it, you have such an interesting voice." "Really? Thanks." Sharp said, her reddish skin seeming to flush a shade darker, "I've been told many things about my voice, mainly that it's very monotone and too deep for a girl. I believe this is the first time it has ever been complimented." "Wat? People don't like it? But it's so awesome!" Lexi had finally broken through, she had no intention of letting this drop anytime soon, though she did kind of want to hear more about quarks. "I quite enjoy my voice as well. But seeing as most I have encountered do not like their own voices, this may be indicative of an abnormality in mine." "Hehe, well I think abnormalities are good." Lexi said, sitting up, "But anyways, tell me more about these quarks, then I can hear your voice and learn about kewl sciencey things at the same time." "Very well then." Sharp turned back in her book a bit and began explaining while Lexi sat and listened intently. (OOC: The way to Lexi's heart is through quarks Meanwhile complimenting Sharp is pretty much guaranteed to surprise her, people generally think she's P odd. Riley got her eyes, Lexi nabbed her voice. Grab your slice of Sharp compliments before it's too late! ) Katherine Katherine sat at her desk mulling over a few of her students' information. Currently she was reading about Emberly. And from what she was reading, she had made a good choice in picking who she wanted to support her. She set down Emberly's file and sat back, turning on the radio. Unlike most women, Katherine used a radio over an MP3 player. She also listened to classical music, which was a rare taste and only even had a station to play on because it originated in Kallistle worship and thus the Church of Kallisto made certain at least one station in Kalo kept playing it. Kallisto smiled to herself, it was nice to know she had started such a beautiful art style, even if most failed to appreciate it. She reached out and grabbed another file, this one for Lilith Perdita, after what had happened last night, there was no doubt that Lilith was indeed the incarnation of Layla. She would be a bit of a wildcard on the road ahead, as there was no way to predict who she would side with. Kallisto would do everything in her power to make sure it was with her, she would really rather not have to go through Layla to achieve her goals. Placing down the file, she reached for another. this one had a picture of an irritatingly pompous redhead, Natalie Opium, on the front. Her file was predictably perfect, but Kallisto knew better. Nayru had always been a brat, now she just had the social status to cover it up. If there was one thing Kallisto could count on, it was the two of them being on opposing sides, not that she really minded putting Nayru in her place. That just left Alexus, and that was the most important of them all. Kallisto was certain she could count on Alexus's aid, which meant she needed to find her before she could set her plan in motion. Based on the ages of herself and the other two, Kallisto figured Alexus would be fifteen right about now. But that still left her plenty of possibilities. She needed to narrow them down, and quickly. (OOC: Oh, forgot to mention, Rein is gonna be alone in her room at first. Also, the carpets are indeed color coded by line. Black for Laylite, gold for Kallistle, blue for Alexian, purple for Nayrist. They're solid if partners share a line and banded if they're different)

...Oh *Gets literally unplayable ping on Doto* Well then, hopefully that's unrelated

Lol. I pop between 150/200 and 4000 XD (I have bleh net tho) I would definitely agree that consistency is good

It sounds to me like the west coast is expected to lose a little over half the ping the east coast gains (AKA a net gain overall) As one who generally gets 150-200 ping, having the servers two states over is gonna be a big help for me I'm just sitting here :/ing at the people complaining about their ping going up to "unplayable" levels (AKA ~70/80 ping) Though I do feel bad for the people in like Hawaii who are gonna end up with my ping now D:

While locked is certainly playable, there's plenty of champs who it makes much more complicated (most notably Nidalee who's main skill far outranges the screen) Or more mobility based champs who constantly move the screen on you. You also see a whole lot less overall and thus have less reaction time Now obviously you don't need to play unlocked, and plenty of people don't, unlocked is just far easier to perform well on You know, it'd be nice if the spacebar unlocked your camera when held down if your screen was locked

Kindle was slightly startled by the intruder. But she quickly calmed down when she saw who it was. "Ohey, you were at Mr. Scraggly's house." She said, a smile of greeting crossing her lips. "Anyways, I'm doing great, thanks for asking." She said to Hikaru, "I was even thinking about all this magic stuff and I decided I should try to do something and so I concentrated really hard and now I can do this." She lifted her hand and held out her middle finger, her face contorting in concentration. After as few moments a small red flame ignited on it. It lasted for about half the time it took to appear and then blinked out. "Tada!" Kindle said, lowering her hand.

Okay, post made, time to move on Here's what's gonna happen. There's gonna be an abbreviated version of my original plan. I'm going to make three posts. The first will introduce the scenario, the second will reply to any of the NPCs roommates, and the third will move us into the main part of the RP. Those of you who are not roommates with any NPCs may do as you please between the first and second posts. After the second post you need to finish up your interaction and prepare for the third Those of you who are rooming with an NPC (Which I think is only Arya and Rein at this point since Mary's NPC-ified) will only get a chance to make two posts: one responding to the scenario and one responding to my second post and finishing out the interaction I intend to make these posts no more than two days apart (so if the first is on the current Thursday*, which I'm hoping it will be but Friday is more likely, then the second will be on Saturday) so barring fatal injury or heat stroke that's your timeframe to make posts And with that, be on the lookout for ANKL, Chapter II: Touching Oblivion. Coming to an RP forum near you Soon™ *And yes, am I saying Ima try to make two posts in one day

Nurse Exuberance Arya seemed alright enough. Nurse Exuberance did a couple more tests, such as testing her reflexes. "Well, as best I can tell, outside the burn you're perfectly fine." She said cheerily. Inside she was grimacing, Arya seemed to be in a state of shock, and to be perfectly honest she didn't know how to snap her out of it. Plus she had a second patient who seemed to be in a much worse condition. Exuberance was used to dealing with checkups and first aid, nothing like this. She applied some one the burn ointment and then dug in the pile of medical supplies for a moment before coming up with two small packets. "Alright, here." She said, handing them to Arya, "This is a painkiller, I'm expecting you're probably going to have a headache after this. You shouldn't take more than two pills a day, there should be six in there. The other one is a sleep aid, again six pills, only take it if you absolutely need it. And if you experience any issues with your motor skills have someone bring you back here immediately." With that, Nurse exuberance grabbed a few basic tools from the pile--suddenly realizing she was going to have to clean up once these girls had left--and headed over to Lilith. The first thing she did was check her pulse, which seemed perfectly average, though she didn't have Lilith's medical file on hand so she wasn't sure what her norm was. She checked on her breathing, which seemed perfectly smooth, just as if she were sleeping. Her eyes seemed perfectly normal and she couldn't find any signs of physical trauma. As best as Exuberance could tell, Lilith was just asleep. she'd have to keep an eye on her overnight and go over the same tests she had with Arya to be safe, but she certainly seemed fine. Strange, considering Arya was clearly effected. Not too long after she'd ushered Rein and Arya out and told them to tell their teacher she was keeping Lilith for the time being. She'd also phoned her wife and said she wouldn't be making it home since she had a sick girl to take care of. She was about to settle down with a book when she noticed something odd: Lilith's hair looked like it was glowing. She stood and started to walk over when suddenly the lights flashed out for just a moment. When they came back on Lilith looked perfectly normal again. Exuberance rubbed her eyes and watched intently to see if it would occur again. After a few minutes she simply shook her head and decided she must be seeing things (OOC: And end chapter 1)

Interesting. I was working on coming up with a Miltank/Gallade based deck myself (seeing as Rallying Cry is actually P good) I was just struggling with figuring out the trainers to run alongside it
