Pretty much. Let's see how things unfold for now.

[Alice]

What Cherry and Daiki said.

And I'm sorry for the lack of a post and the subsequent delay, hopefully I'll post sometime tomorrow and not delay things any longer. I've been under the weather for the past few days, and while I can write shorter posts just fine even when I'm sick, I tend to struggle a lot more with more complicated ones like this one. ....I still feel bad for it though. Again, hopefully I can get this thing done finally sometime tomorrow.

Np Alice, sickness is a big deal for everyone. Try to get better and post whenever you are up to it. No use making yourself more sick worrying eh.

[Alice]

I'm tired, I'm frustrated, and I still don't have this stupid thing done. Look, if anyone wants to go ahead of me, that's fine.

But in the future, let's try to avoid big messes like this where posts get impossibly long and more and more impossible to reply to. It's a nightmare to reply to, and I'm really sick and tired of having situations like this where it's difficult to write a response. I shouldn't be having this type of difficulty, period, and aside from that, it kills a lot of the enjoyment in the RP, as it makes posts incredibly stressful to write as I'm worried I'm killing off the forum just from struggling to write one stupid post.

[Cherry Lover]

Yeah, we really need to avoid getting into situations where there are multiple different "scenes" to reply to in a single post. People need to make their posts shorter and, in particular, only do one actual action in each post.

[Alice]

Finally done! ...It's a really crappy post, pretty much the crappiest I've written I think, but at least it's done! ... ...Here's hoping I didn't write anything that doesn't keep us away from the apartments much longer....

[OPOI]

It was fine Alice, don't beat yourself up about how long it took. You haven't done anything drastic to stop story progression at all, don't worry!

Yeah, glad I didn't have to deal with long scenes this time. If I complicated your lives by having Shirou bring in Vanessa, sorry...

[Elf]

MOS Shirou, Item Get!

.44 Magnum.

A really big revolver that can shoot through cars, buildings, and people! Vampire giving you trouble?  Well, you can blow that wanker's head right off and not even need silver bullets.

Because it is also a revolver it is easy to make some custom made bullets if one has access to a dye press.  Since it is also a revolver, it can only chamber six rounds before it needs to be fired again, but it is more accurate than its Super .44 Mag counter part, which is semi-auto.  For those curious, the advantages to the semi-auto is that its magazine holds 8 rounds and its easier to reload.

[Alice]

@OPOI That's good to hear. ...Though I still feel kinda bad about it. ^_^"

And you didn't cause any problems with that, don't worry. You actually saved us quite a bit of time.

@Elf ...Wow, that's a really nice gun. O_O Item get indeed!

[Cherry Lover]

Because it is also a revolver it is easy to make some custom made bullets if one has access to a dye press.

Or, he could just trace them (well, probably excepting the explosive element...).

[Cherry Lover]

Hmm, also, I'm not sure if I should wait for Daiki or not. It is his turn to post next, technically, but I don't think there's anything much I really need to sort out with him (although there are things he can reply to) and I've not seen him on the forum for almost a week now.

[Daiki]

Don't beat yourself over it Alice, if it weren't you, I would have been the one holding people back for a bit. I just can't seem to do something constructive these days.

You're free to post Mike. I'll just take my time to read what everyone posted and update from that.

Ok, that's updated. You don't have to react to Shuya for now if you want to go forward. There's time to discuss on the way to the stronghold tho.

[Cherry Lover]

Yeah, you posted about 5 minutes before I was about to post, so I've completely ignored your post for the time being. I don't think there was an awful lot in it for me to respond to anyway, though, except for the stuff about killing which was so far back in time that trying to include it would have made it a real pain.

[Alice]

@Daiki Ah, OK- I know that feeling all too well, believe me. ^_^"

And hopefully next post should be up soon-ish. From what I can tell, there isn't nearly as much for me to respond to, so hopefully we won't have a repeat of what I just did delay-wise.

[Alice]

Ugh, more delays, and right after I thought I wouldn't have it happen again. It's mainly through a combination of a little bad luck IRL (thunderstorms in October are pretty nasty apparently ^_^") and keeping the forum spinning.

I really hope I can get a post in sometime tonight. I'll keep trying anyway, if nothing else. If people want to prod me to get on with it, that's fine.
