Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in the last week; I've been oddly tired and worried about getting into the grad program I applied to.

However, I got my acceptance email, so I think I can focus a little more on this again. Just have to catch up.

There's also Marius and Max's shopping trip.

[19:50:12] francobull III: [...] why are you being all assive aggressive?

[23:32:37] Helligator: use the narrative as a means to convey an interesting story and cool conflicts with the openness you're allowed
[23:32:43] Helligator: not to CHEAT stories and conflicts

And posted for Rose, Marius and Chiyo.

Can't post for Valda because I don't even think it's my turn for that scene right now.

And I'll figure out a place to bring in my other characters sometime.

It's no problem at all, Aiden. :) IRL stuff takes priority.

Also, congratulations on your acceptance into Grad School! :D

Besides running the forum, I can provide avatars for people as well~

Yeah, congratulations.

What are you studying?

I already have my Bachelor's in Psychology, so now I'm going for Masters of Social Work. Going to specialize in dealing with aging populations.

Answer looks pretty fine to me, although I will note that there wasn't really anything like a sword thrust there. More like a sword simply being raised to neck height as the familiar half-materialized for that moment.

Will begin writing response posts in a bit.

When I mean 'thrust', I meant that the motion of bringing the sword up to Casko's neck. I imagine that it was a fairly vivid move, which could've lead potentially into a decapitating strike. Not that it was the familiar's intention, but when a sword is brought up quickly to your neck, the first idea that comes to one's head is generally the one that "hey, they're trying to lop my head off".

( OwO)

If that makes any sense.
Maybe that I used the wrong word somewhere?

"Thrust" gives me the impression that the sword was quickly pushed forward, which wasn't necessarily the case, but I didn't specify, so well, I guess it's fine as it is. I also didn't specify the distance between the tip of the half-manifested sword and Caster, so again, it's fine.

Would 'raised' work as a suitable alternative?
<-- watches too much media where 'threatening with a sword' = pulling out sword extremely fast and holding the 'target' at a dangerously close range.

Like I said, it's fine. Though "raised" is a more suitable way to say it, yes.

Too sleepy, going to sleep for tonight. Will post tomorrow, anyone waiting on me.

Sorry for the delay just waiting on a certain person for their reply. (Hint it's Kaiza.)
