Alright everyone,
here's another little update. In a nutshell, August is gonna suck for me and September isn't gonna fair much better. October... probably the same or worse. Point is, I'm not going to have as much time to sit down and tag as I'd like.

And if anyone's expecting me to bail out, that's not what this is about.

What this means is that while my tagging speed is gonna be comparable to a sloth on a hot summer day, I do still wanna plot and get involved with the game's events and all. So the tl;dr part is that I'd like to lay out some plans and spend what time I do get to tag, doing more than slice-of-life-ing like I've been doing. There's a lot more to this game than that and I believe I should take advantage of that like the rest of you good folks.

So here's what I'm looking to do:

I'd like to get Ciel/Roxas into a fight where he grabs some stick-like object(Bonus points if we can make it a stick) and gets an Echo in which he at least remembers his fighting techniques. Now that doesn't mean he's gonna get everything back, but basically his swing style, the way he balances in a battle... maybe even get Air Slide back.

I'd also like him to get his Tony Stark on and flirt mercilessly with some girls. To that end, I would also like said girls to shoot him down because that's supposed to be a thing with him.

I've got a handful of threads currently on-going. If I missed tagging you in the aftermath of ComicCon, drop me a line and we'll pick stuff up.

I'd also still like to get Ciel involved with other peoples around here. So if anyone's particular ambitions for plotting/CR/etc can be helped by my keydurp, let me know and as long as you don't mind the slowness, I will be happy to rock that.

Otherwise, I'm gonna try to keep an eye on the OOC comm as best I can. I've got about a week and a half where I can tag as normal. But that'll be a little slow as I finish some costume work I'm trying to get down for Otakon. Anyone going to that con, lemme know here and perhaps we can meet up.

I think that's about it for now. If you wanna chatter or plot, my aim should be posted on the contact page dealie. Otherwise drop me a tag here and I'll hand that or my plurk out.

HOKAY

1. Maya teaches fencing lessons. Possibly meeting up in a park and having a stick duel?

2. haha he could TRY to hit on Chris, but she's like 9 years older than him, and also has metal arms and a habit of punching people >>;

I'm thinking the first option would probably be best. Figure maybe make something of that modeling gig she offered Ciel. Perhaps he gets in, they're working with some poses and she proposes teaching him to fence because the way he balances himself while posing just doesn't work for the image she has in mind?

Cause while the second sounds appealing, Ciel would probably be kind of weary of metal arms.

SO I TALKED TO RIKU-MUN

and Riku is a photographer

so he might get in to be the photographer for the shoot. And they're thinking of holding it in a cathederal that might maybe look a little like Radiant Garden. Because reasons.

I like where this is going. Going to also be commenting on Riku-mun's thread for discussion of this.

Kairi will... nicely reject him? Unless he pushes it and then there will be problems. XD She'll be at fencing classes!

So we've got a point of contact. He can flirt with her and then shoot him down.

I like this plan.

Me too.

Heya! So Ryuu was talking to me about making the covers for her book and Riku would love to be in on that-- because favorite author + favorite series, he's in. Fo Sure. He doesn't usually do modeling shoots, but man, like there was any way he could turn down the author. xD

He also does editing work and such so he'll be making the cover itself as well. c:

And! We were discussing this over IM, but we're thinking we might do the photoshoot at a cathedral that would creepily resemble this. And possibly one of the covers of the outside of the church will, after editing, look like Hollow Bastion. xD

So yes. Field trip + Photoshoot! :D Around when would you be available so we can try to set up log things?

I'd also suggest opening up looking for other models, e.g. a middle eastern girl for Nerida and Asian Looking Guy for Kun, possibly someone for ..Yaotl? The xehanort expy. xD Black hair and white skin, looks sallow, I can think of a few... And someone to dress up as blue furred prince. xD

Sorry for how long it took for me to respond. I got off work yesterday and just shut down completely. Then most of today was all about sewing -gotta get ready for Otakon.

But yeah, the idea sounds good. I'll be in the state until August 7th, cause I leave for Baltimore on the 8th. Figure I can tag a new log in the evenings after work, but before sewing and gym.

As far as opening the shoot up to other models, I'm cool with this. Make it a community thing, right?

Only detail left is who should start the log though. Considering how you've got some details worked out already, it may be best to have you start.
