Better ^-^

No, I just edited the post.
You can't just change a dream. You are stuck in two dream realities. Academy, and five years later.

I can, I train myself in it ^-^

@diamondt: no trap, just a clarification with the result's implication listed.

^^; A trap.

@diamondt: call it what you will.

@Pip: these issues would be avoided if you were to allow Embeth and Quetzalcoatl to have a shared timeframe different from the one everyone is in.

Pip allowed you to, flux. ._. (I really am butting into other's convo's ain't I?)

Flux, that doesn't make any sense. At all. Why? Why would you do that, anyway? Is it because you dislike my roleplaying, or that you dislike me?
Are you at all getting my point, Flux?
I've repeated it several times. You. Can. Be. In. Another. Dimension. As. Long. As. You. Are. In. A. Similar. Timeframe.
But if you are in another dimension, I highly doubt that Embeth would be with you.

No, Dia, not at all. You're being very helpful. ^^

EDIT: I'm going to school now. See you in 6 hours time.

@diamondt: I think Pip still wants Quetzalcoatl and Embeth's timeframe to be in a future, whereas the timeframe Urbeth and I agreed upon would have it in the present; still a dream, but in the present. Given that, the two dreaming groups wouldn't meet, which is one of Pip's goals.

And I don't mind the interruptions.

@Pip: my personal opinions (either good or ill) of your roleplaying are irrelevant in this regard, and I've never met you to form an opinion. If I was in another dimension, I would be alone, which is fine with me as a player.

What you're trying to set up with the rest of the group doesn't make sense (for different reasons) for Embeth and Quetzalcoatl. We're trying to reconcile events so Embeth and Quetzalcoatl can participate, but the timeframe is proving very difficult.

----------

@all: I'm really trying to participate.

Thank goodness~!

Flux, I hear a lot about embeth and her soon-to-come-if-it-comes-that-is newly found teenager' ship... But I barely hear complains which make it impossible for quet to be in a similiar timeframe.

As for embeth and her problems, maybe urbeth should figure out whether or not she has problems with these.

They can meet in the acid-dream right...? Oh wait, no they can't... They'd die from the acid. Nvm.

Flux, Pip her goal would be to give the rp a bit of a twister, not to make the dreaming groups meet, considering they are too separated for that. Acid pouring down, and a sweet little village at god may know where... Pip is very very creative, but creating your way out of that...?


@pip
I think you're taking flux too personal right now, I think flux just doesn't understand how this logic would come over logical to his character and embeth. >3 We all love your idea, it's just a bit much, and rather mssed up (thanks to my dear valkyrie who can't get pregnant before she's 500 years older o-o; Though of course that could be the indication that that reality isn't real and everything... Poor megumi, but I can be okay with this XD)
I'm sure flux likes you in a friendly way <3

Maybe once Urbeth comes on she can explain the problems regarding Embeth; I'm just reiterating the issues we discussed earlier.

The problem is, that in my mad brain, it is logical. I know this is ridiculous, but I feel like my ideas are being belittled. Don't get on at me saying that that is ridiculous, because I know that it's ridiculous.
You see, the Dream Lord is trying to torment Darcy, and make the others mistrust her. The Dream Lord wouldn't make an extra dream reality, when her only goal seems to mentally unhinge Darcy, and cause suspicion and speculation between her friends.

Okay, I shouldn't have said that. But it's been stressful, interhouse drama perfomance coming up, my director is going mental and might murder anyone who stumbles over lines... et cetera, et cetera, et cetera! No need for you to get caught up in it, and no need for me to let out my pent-up anger on you.

But, my main problem here is;
How on God's green Earth is the time frame a problem? I mean, I just have no clue how that is supposed to be a problem. It is five years from now, from the very moment. Maybe Tesla didn't graduate, whatever, but it is important to my plot. The fact that they are all in one time frame, all together.

Holy Poop.
Ok. To clarify:

• Must the Dreams of all Characters be in the same time frame (and preferably in the same place) to make the strange deaths of all the characters more "heart-wrenching"? You have explained this in your recent post regarding Darcy being viewed as untrusted by the other characters to make what (you've kindly explained to me) will happen more tragic and heart-wrenching.
• Even with a seamless account of time and memories such as getting her period/physically maturing/etc. I still believe that the dream would create or cause psychological damage to my character with a dream 5 years in the future. Would you suggest then that my character would be a 10 year-old trapped in a 15 year-old body for the dream or after the dream a 15 year-old trapped in the body of a 10 year-old child?
  I have maintained my own diaries and journals from 10 years old until the present time. I have posted a few entries to demonstrate the mental differences that are obvious in the age difference. Age 10. Age 16.
• I never intended to play my character to be older. I chose to play an older child in order for her to have minimal understanding of adult conversations but not be required to. I also really wanted to avoid the romantic relationships that older characters can fall into because I didn't want to rely on another player that much.

I think we have reached an impasse. I really cannot age my character. I am sorry.
And I respect you unspoken reasons for wanting the dreams at the same time.

Ok, just had another idea. In the dream, Tesla and Embeth return after five years in Academy time. Embeth is still 10 years old mentally and physically, but with more knowledge regarding her powers and control of her powers. She works with Tesla now, and he has been given the assignment to kill Darcy as a warning for something--I don't know what at this point.

Okay, fair enough.
But why would a little girl help someone to kill people?
And, anyhoo, sure Darcy has enemies, but only the big old evils.
But I am alright with the first bit.
But, we shall wait for Flux. See how she reacts.

I am responding to your PM at this point too. So my apologies for the overlaps that could occur.

From what little I understand, Tesla is part of a greater organization that kills people. His last "assignment" as Flux calls them went a little overboard with senseless killing, so he is here to learn the value of life. I have no idea of how this fits with the purpose of the role-play in which after the academy the characters are supposed to go and protect cities. I also don't know if this organization is benevolent or malevolent.

Assuming it is benevolent, Embeth may be trained over the course of unknown time that killing one may save many. She would likely lose a lot (if not all) of her innocence from this, something I am sad to see. But it would prevent her from completely going insane from the flux in mental maturity.

Edit: I suppose my character could have her memory altered in some way to gain back her innocence. Eventually, she could get these memories back once she matures.

I think that having that would ruin the point of having a child in the RP.
It'd be easier if she simply didn't age. (Or she got older but not physically or mentally due to trauma from her earlier life.)
I hope that makes sense.

It would be logical for embeth to still be in the academy, considering she came there young, and hasn't been able to let her powers bloom fully, because she barely knew of her powers when she came there.
Following tesla though, would indeed have gotten at her mental health. Considering his organisation sounds like one who would take care of one for a hundred... His organisation too, sounds like one who would rather have a weapon than a teenage girl. Just saying...

Actually, no, you have a very valid point, my dear Dia.

dear...? When did I earn that title? o.o

It's just an endearing title.
Like, 'You alright, love?'
Or, 'Bless you, sweetheart.'

xD And when did I earn that lovely endearing title? What did I do to deserve it? ~.~

It's just something that the british do, I guess. It's rubbed off on me. :')

I really don't see how it will work then. :<
As a human, she will age at the academy. I am sorry for being so adamant about it, but that is the one thing I will not do to my character. If I am forced to do it, then I will make her insane as that is the only outcome from such an experience.

The five years worked in the episode because none of the characters were children. Amy got pregnant, but that is understandable considering she was engaged. The writers assumed that the character's personalities wouldn't really change much in five years, but the reality is that people can change a lot in 5 years.

That's what I just said. Because of the abuse that Embeth was put under, she doesn't age mentally.
It's the best I can think of, sorry.

._. Maybe the dream lord doesn't want to involve children...? ._. ^^;
Somehow it sounds very logical to me, that an almighty creature, does not use life-threatening skills against a human girl that can't even defend herself properly...
