The Planet

Because I, at least, am gonna want to react to things and I don't wanna muddy up the game thread, lmao.

(This is for anyone to post in, not just people playing the game.)

Okay now that I got the thread: I love Zally but I'm also like NO DON'T RUN AWAY THE GAME HASN'T STARTED YET lmfao (I know, I know, they won't, bUT)

I won't run! I the player will force Zally to stay.

I'm kinda hoping someone might come in behind them and accidentally block their exit XD

Btw Corva you noted worry about being too long but actually I found it quite fun and it established your character very well in my head. Perhaps I should description more.

I guess that could be me! I haven't found time to write my entry yet, but it very likely wont be as long and eloquent as yours

(Srsly, I'm almost intimidated by all the quality - I'm just gonna assume I don't drag down the average quality of the story and barge in as soon as I find time to write)

I am going to write a lot shorter and less descriptively going forward because i don't want to slow down play or anything. I came right out of writing nano so my brain was in the wrong mode probably!

Also nahhh you will do great

Don't worry, we're not trying to write a novel, we're playing a game! 8D

Speaking from experience, an intro post on a forum RP is the easiest to write super long. Once you start interacting with other characters, you wind up naturally stopping sooner 'cause you want/need a response from the others. (In games with a minimum word count, that can get kinda rough, lmfao)

Idk if you're just referring to Corva's post or also mine, but I assume mine are included. This statement opened up a huge can of worms for me? Not your fault, but feeling like I'm upsetting or driving away people by doing "too well" at something is actually a huge and historied anxiety point for me, personally, which is not something you had cause to know.

Obviously I'm not going to ask you to refrain from expressing your anxieties, but, um. Kind of wanted to let you/the players in general know. Because it's literally something I was worrying about as I made my posts and as people didn't post in response.

To the extent I have a request, that request is please just barge in, barging in is part of the game.

Edit to add specific anxiety trigger detail
