OMG. Finding an apartment has been a massive pain in the ass. I just have to vent that out there. Thank goodness we finally found one. We have to pack up and move to a different city and then I start work on Monday. Getting internet ready to be set up for our move-in date was its own trial. I swear I need to do a sith-based customer service one-off post with a tele-torture service. LOL. Ok. So here's the deal. I have my hands full with moving and starting a new job. I might be able to get the deepwoods post finished by the end of the month, but we'll see. I will have commutes and so I might have time to draft ideas while waiting and standing on a train. At the same time, I also need to get new health insurance set up and find/ set up doctors too. I may have time in waiting rooms. Long story short. I am not abandoning our story lines. Love (of star wars) will find a way.

Finally made the move. Work is going to be taking up alot. I am writing this on my phone to test this out in case I am in line some where, I can start a draft or something. I am waiting for a hair cut...
Draft: havoks room at the temple Havok sat in his chambers in the upper levels of the temple. His stone chair was as cold and hard as his intentions. Around him were arrayed the devices and fetishes designed to peirce the vail of time and space with his sight. Decks of cards, ensorceled defining rods, mummified entrails, etc. One wall was arrayed with the preserved skulls of his enemies. One head slowly hovered in a jar of glowing liquid. Around it tubes ran, connecting it to a bulky medical machine. The eyes of the head opened revealing it was still alive, animated and prevented from dying by the dreadful machine. "My lord..." the voice was mechanically rendered by the bulky machine, as the head's lips and mouth moved. "You have foretold the outcome. There is no tome more to search, no stars to read, no sacrifice more to offer." The dread seer turned his head to the talking head in a jar. "No. Everything can change. You exist here in defiance of your foretold destiny. A destiny that I interrupted at my will and whim." "Milord, I am, as always, most grateful for your gift and boon on my behalf. But, you foretold your own end. How can you defy your own prophecy?" "How indeed." Havok's answer was more

Ok. So this was my first free weekend. I think I'll probably have a posting frequency of like once or twice a month on the weekends. Maybe more during a holiday if we don't do a vacation.
Goal- I think I am nearly finished with edits on Tyna's post, and then I'll work on Havok in Rishi and see what I can get done. If I don't get on here again until after the holidays, I wish you and your family a warm and happy holiday season!
Also, thank you for being my creative brother-in-crime on this website. Collaborating with you and reading your work has inspired me to improve my writing and contributed to my mental wellbeing. I can't say it enough. Thank you.

That's what I like to hear. Same to you and yours.
SeƱor Rebellious has sought Draggles out on Rishi which will eventually lead to them planning a coup against the current NPC Supreme Leader of the SE, with Reb to eventually take over the role after. I kinda think that should take place after Dragus' meeting with Havok, so when you post if you could either continue using the terrain which we were using before the Draggle Rock topic got created, or if at the top of your post you could indicate that this is taking place before his Rebellious interaction...that would be helpful. Maybe for the sake of avoiding confusion it would be simpler to just keep using the terrain topic (just quote my first post on Draggle Rock in your response if you don't mind).

Wait! I'm pulling a you. Work in progress on that last post. I just had a stroke of brilliance in the shower while stroking...my lucky shampoo bottle. Granted I'll probably have it edited by the time you read this. Edit: Okay, all done. I mostly just added a bunch of stuff, but I got excited about the topic and had to find a way to talk about it.

You're allowed to edit things. I'm done with Tyna's post in the deep woods. Not the most inspired of posts but I was trying to do too much in one post and it was giving me writer's block, so I paired it back. Its ready for your post btw. It looks like I might actually have 3 days this weekend. I might get one, or even more than one post done in that time. ;)

Thanks, my dude. Merry Christmas to you and your fam. I got part of my SK post written but won't be posting until at least tomorrow. My house looks like a disaster zone right now, lol. The ewoks got sooo much stuff.

Ya jinxed me! You talked about needing to clean up the house and now my wifey is enlisting me to do a bunch of cleaning! Its the dangers of having a holiday... you're also available for chores. A necessary evil. A friend of mine liked to tell me a story about another friend of his. So my bro was playing battlefront at this dude's house, and the dude's wife told him to take the garbage out. The dude turned to his wife and pointed his finger at her and with his best Vader impression: "You are part of the rebel alliance and a traitor!" (to my bro) Take her away!" My bro nearly died laughing. LOL. I don't remember the rest of the story about her reaction.

Also not my most inspired SK post, but given I haven't posted with him in a few months I feel a bit out of practice. Hopefully Dragus' share/revelation makes up for it.

Inspiring or not, sometimes the narrative just needs to move along. Tyna's post wasn't particularly inspiring either.
Question about Rishi- Reading it leaves a remarkable amount of ambiguity as to what is about to happen. Which is exciting and clever. Based on my reading, Dragus is either about to try to betray and kill Havok and stash his soul in a black altar, or Dragus is pleading for help. Or both?
Am I reading that right?

Mmmm, I was mostly just trying to play up the hopelessness of the situation, to show that he's aware of what's happening to him but there really isn't anything he can do about it.
I also felt like it would be a good time to share, since I think Major was the only character that knew about his background. Havok's really all he's got left because if he tried to explain this all to his current allies, they'd just think he's more nuts than they already do.
Edit: oh I see what I did. Yeah, as I read the last part where he's talking about it being too late and can't look him in the eye, it does sorta seem like Havok's the sacrificial lamb, lol. That wasn't my intent. Not being able to look him in the eye was supposed to be because he was ashamed of being a slave.

I appreciate the clarification.
Seriously, I thought this was about to be an epic chess move to lure Havok to Rishi, to try and fill the final alter, which would thus usher in...????? (whatever it would do). But then Havok has a dilemma: does he try to kill dragus, incapacitate Dragus, or run? Havok would have to have a thing where he was getting meta- that he can't be killed now b/c its not his destiny to be killed by Dragus, but then again, has the Eye been messing with Havok's visions of his own death(s)? While Dragus losing hours and days of his time could explain away that he wouldn't knowingly and willingly betray havok, it's kinda would be random since we're protected by the meltmassif.
If it was done, it would need to be very carefully done- but if done right we could demonstrate Darth Tyna's point that friends betray each other... nicely. LOL.
but....
I mean, do we stick with unquestioning loyalty aspect of brotherhood? Or do we eventually have a betrayal arc? It's always possible, but right now, the loyalty to his brothers is what is keeping Havok going. A betrayal might be something that could send Havok spiraling at some point in the future. If I ever get Tyna to the point that I want, a spiraling havok might be just the thing Tyna needs to make her betray her father figure.
BUT! BUT!! It would be alot of work... and I'm not ready for that right now, so I kinda don't want to do that right now. whew. But we may need to have an interlude on Rishi where we kill underlings and be bad to cheer ourselves up or something. Or maybe we get high together? Or maybe we get really goofy with dad jokes? I'm going to need a good think about what I want Havok to do and how he might interpret the situation.
I do think I might have time to do a post this coming holiday weekend. We'll see what happens.

There was a time where I was more open to exploring betrayal, back when we were more numerous and there were two camps within the group (Dragus' posy vs NOE old timers) but given that it's just down to the two of us these days, I'd be way more inclined to lean into the loyalty of brotherhood.
At this stage in my characters life, he's more or less done with conquest and seeking power. He lacks that sort of ambition. Mostly he just wants to carry on with his studies and research, crafting disturbing things with alchemy that would make most people retch. I think he also still sees the Eye as the best means to achieve this. Don't get me wrong, Dragus is very resentful of what basically amounts to their enslavement by it, but if given the choice to walk away, I think he would choose to remain in his shackles. In his mind when the Eye is eventually restored and wreaks havoc upon the galaxy, he'll be free to continue his pursuit of alchemical greatness without distraction. Everything he does is a means to that end.
I've got something funny coming up that I think you'll like. Originally I was going to have us deal with the Doomslither together, but when Rebellious showed up it seemed like a good bonding experience for a couple of strangers and a good chance to see what each was made of, so I'm tackling that with him. That said there should be some opportunity for them to indulge in a few vices.

jvs.fandom.com/wiki/Hannite_OrderIt's a work in progress but a good starting point at least. Felt inspired while working away at Pzob's traveler's guide, which I will PM to you for review and edits before submitting it to the Whills. I'm trying to balance things between the hannites and the gamorreans, if that makes sense. Mostly staying away from technology, as none of Pzob's current inhabitants are that technologically sophisticated. Expect to see a few ewok things snuck in ;-)

It is weird that I get anxious about a story line that is important to my character or important for their development? Like worries that I might fuck it up somehow? That anxiety is the enemy of my creativity and "get stuff done" goals.

You're over thinking it, lol. I just start typing and let the keyboard carry me in whatever direction it wants.
I actually had a cool idea for how to move things along and keep it interesting, so I am eager to do another SK post. Got some Pzob lore to share and some tuk'ata to murder }:>

I FINISHED that dam post! I think I was trying to do too much in that post. So I decided I shouldn't try to rush things. (like what I did after Tyna got set on fire in the neti woods). We'll eventually hear from Martaine, but to bring it up now would be rushing things.
Feel free to have the tuk'ata ignore Tyna's garbled sith. I am excited to see your idea. (I always am).
