Sorry guys, I've been away.  A close friend of mine's father passed away and I had a really bad bout of food poisoning/stomach flu.  I mean, I was gushing out from both ends!

As YOLF said, god, that is awful. At least you're feeling better on the stomach flu front, progress there is always good.

Take all the time you need, and I hope you get well soon.

[Elf]

That's doubly awful.

And perfectly understandable. Good to hear you're better on the food poisoning/flu end!

There's a stomach flu going around, however it kicked in exactly 8 hours after I had last ate.  So it could have been either one, but man, it was horrible.  I had no idea it was possible to be that sick and I'm still exhausted for it.  (And I strained my throat calling up dinosaurs.)

[Alice]

Ouch. D: Either food poisoning or stomach flu, I'm glad that the worst of it is over now. Make sure to get plenty of rest.

And finally posted! ....With Mille. Still not done with Tom and friends.

Mille snaps! Ruby is a troll! And Rider's screwed, but not in the way she'd prefer! 

...Yeah, not the greatest post in the world more than likely, but at least that's one down finally. ^^"

[Ivan The Mouse]

Get well soon, Ma'am Elf.

[YOLF]

Ruby is fixing things (or trying) by being a troll? What madness is this!

No, I kid. Just seeing Ruby being so helpful is rare.

[Cherry Lover]

I'm not sure she's really trying to fix anything. Certainly she didn't seem to be making any effort to appeal to Rider here or to smooth things over, she's just going on the attack. I think her only reason for holding Mille back is to avoid getting Mille nailed to a wall and then her turned into firewood (either by Rider or, else, by Rin when she finds out Ruby's role in Mille's death...).

Rider isn't going to feel great about what happened, no, but I don't think Ruby is helping much (aside from pointing out all the things that I OOCly forgot entirely to take into consideration when formulating Rider's response...). And in so far as she is, she's mostly doing it to upset Rider rather than to actually resolve anything.

[YOLF]

Fix in the sense that she prevented Millie from doing anything stupid and impulsive, and is very clearly telling Rider that was not nice nor well phrased of her to say. Going on the attack with her reply only seems natural given who we're talking about and the fact that everyone is already throwing around pretty poisonous words.

Waiting on Magos, since he said he wanted to make a Tywin post!
also woah, I come back from recovering and suddenly Mille+Ruby and Rider are about ready to shred each other apart.

[Mooncake]

(he might wake up but not much else)


Also I'm sorry, workload is immense right before break, almost no time to post

Go ahead and continue your conversation.

[Milbunk]

Alright I'll get me a post up sometime soon.

Magos, I'm waiting for a reply here from Henderson to Neo, so I can get my other characters to move.

[Elf]

Finally, I have posted!

Dark Archer isn't going to play around or get into some petty bitch fest.

[Cherry Lover]

Hmm, in general what Gabriel said about not judging people is right, but it doesn't apply quite so much when membership of the group is something you choose. Sure, there can still be good magi, but the fact that they willingly follow the Association's rules and philosophy does generally imply they're probably not that great a person.

Rider was wrong about Mille, of course, but the vast majority of magi are assholes, and Rider knows all-too-well how bad they can be.

[Elf]

However, sometimes people have to join something because they don't have that much of a choice.  Especially if they want to learn say magecraft.
