DP but... Gladio's apology... he's sorry for losing his temper.


ฯะฝฮนัั โฮนgะฝัฮทฮนฮทg
Kaiba is like..... I gotta get those pictures from Tony.. because I have so much I could say to Gladio and can't. LOL!

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
LOL he's judging him for apologising? He's only sorry he lost is temper!

ฯะฝฮนัั โฮนgะฝัฮทฮนฮทg
He was judging you for both. LOL

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
Whelp... he's just jealous!

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
Or something lol

ฯะฝฮนัั โฮนgะฝัฮทฮนฮทg
LOL!

ฯะฝฮนัั โฮนgะฝัฮทฮนฮทg
If he wasn't such a brat Kaiba could have agreed with portions of the first post, since he doesn't get why people just accept this place

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
Gladio doesn't get it either.

Aw buddy

gladio is a good bean for this! how things are said matters just as much as much as the points presented. even if ppl disagree, good communication fosters more workable solutions and cooperation

Un(t)sundered
Emet doesn't entirely object to the idea of wanting to know, but he had a lot of objections to the like. methods of how Gladio and everyone went about finding out

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
The last resort of the desperate.

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
The group with the least patience, lacking in diplomacy, and who are more likely to take action, took action. And everyone is surprised lol

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
Yup.

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
It's all good saying people were befriending the natives and such, but after two years there should have been less questions and more answers. But it seems there are more and more questions and no answers. So they did what they did!

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
But losing his temper wasn't ideal and he regrets that.

Un(t)sundered
I think a lot of the stuff in Era's big infopost was stuff that hadn

Un(t)sundered
*hadn't been shared much before? or not all in one place

Un(t)sundered
and tbh I'm not sure how many characters are trying to build rep with the natives (or for how long they've been trying)

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
That was months ago!

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
And most of it was common. Or at least, most of it had been explained via CR

Un(t)sundered
I know some of it was new to me!

Un(t)sundered
plus also I know I, for one, am not always able to get on shit as fast as my characters would XD

Un(t)sundered
I'm tired and busy!

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
Which is totally fair!

Un(t)sundered
so like... it's legit for Gladio to have wanted to Know More! but we are all sometimes old and tired and not able to keep up with things XD

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
haha ain't that the truth

Un(t)sundered
plus like. as far as I'm aware, the stuff that Era is working on isn't super fast moving, unless folks really want some of the mundane deets of the natives' lives XD

Un(t)sundered
(since that's what I have the most insight on)

Bret ๐
it is just unfortunate from a purely narrative standpoint that all the options characters did have to get more information and get access to stuff was put on hold for real life constraints because boy %D

Bret ๐
that'd make people a little happier %D

Un(t)sundered
it would, yeah

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
It's not the mundane that these guys want to know. It's what's being 'hidden'

Un(t)sundered
and I get the frustrations! it is slow and some things probably would be moving faster

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
>.> But I'm getting dizzy arguing this point over and over again

Un(t)sundered
but alas, we are all just people

N แด แด ส โโโ
I haven't seen any arguments, just discussion! but I'm also garbage at reading tone so


Un(t)sundered
yeah, same

Bret ๐
yeye

Un(t)sundered
I'm not trying to argue? but also I'm super tired today and probably not wording great either

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
Arguing might have been the wrong word to use... >.> I just feel like I'm saying the same thing over and over again.

Un(t)sundered
/nodnod

Un(t)sundered
I think there's definitely some like... treading old ground, yeah

Hope
I think the point is, there's an apology for the method and tone. But let's agree to disagree on the method since we can't agree on that

N แด แด ส โโโ
but yeah I agree that ICly things have been slow bc OOCly life has been insane and put a lot on hold.
Bret ๐
i actually hadn't considered that factor before! so ty for bringing it up


Un(t)sundered
Hope
: oocly I have no problem with the method! like it makes sense! but icly... yes, that's probably good XD

Hope
Thanks
Un(t)sundered


Hope
It's tough taking on the level of negative CR this brought. Idk if anyone could've predicted quite that level of response. Some response, obviously but.. you know

N แด แด ส โโโ
yeah OOCly I have no issues, bc if something is IC then it's IC! ICly tho... haha


Un(t)sundered
yeah, it was uh. definitely A Lot

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
A lot.

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
But it's fine if no one accepts Gladio's apology. ^^ Somehow all of the negative has landed right on him.

N แด แด ส โโโ
I'm pretty sure it was the accusation of people rolling over and doing nothing that set off most of the IC negativity, but hopefully the apology helps some!

Bret ๐
gladio this is what happens when you come out guns blazing 8(

Bret ๐
and yeah that is. that is it. even my other guy that would be like "yeah I get exactly where you are coming from" would have a knee-jerk reaction to that

Hope
which is understandable, but like.. it's been a week right?

Un(t)sundered
yeah, agreeing on the 'rolling over and doing nothing' aspect

Un(t)sundered
(and also I haven't had the brain to engage in any tags lately, so I haven't tried to figure out Emet's reaction to the apology yet)

Hope
which makes sense why people would get mad at that!

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
^^ It's all good.

Bret ๐
this is just the BIG HAPPENING THING that affects a lot of people so discussion is just gonna... happen a lot haha

โ
Jadeโ
IMO an apology post for tone could help with people being like "okay we can at least agree on XYZ (ie characters wanting more information)... let's try to investigate in a different manner and see if we get better and/or other results"

โ
Jadeโ
and of course, bring the characters who were doing research and things out of the woodwork

๐๐ข๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐๐ฮผ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฎ
^^ Perhaps

Hope
Right.. assuming there were some

N แด แด ส โโโ
oh there are definitely a few!


Bret ๐
and it looks like the archives are an option again


Bret ๐
everyone hold hands to read books

Xiu Ya Time
What's really hilarious is that all of this is technically Sephiroth's fault and he was going to go in there and slice down all the doors looking for Genesis, Zack, and Galaxia and actually everyone should be thanking Tony, Cloud, and the rest that this didn't go nuclear option honestly

Xiu Ya Time
But nobody knows that ICly because Sephiroth is also the guy who doesn't give a single fuck about what anyone thinks

Bret ๐
BD

Bret ๐
i mean the officer announcement didn't even specify who did it at all

Xiu Ya Time
What? No, it is not his destiny to become a public menace. He has no idea who did this it's a m y s t e r y

Bret ๐
who could have done this. certainly not sephiroth

Xiu Ya Time
of course not he is but a simple man nothing special about him whatsoever

Maraich
No one even knows Sephiroth is involved lol

Maraich
Gladio made the post, and Tony took credit, and it's been assumed that Verstael is at fault...

Maraich
No one suspects Cloud and Sephiroth lol

Xiu Ya Time
This is actually amazing

Bret ๐
dot knows cuz she went to the jail but like. yeah.

Xiu Ya Time
She gotta protect her sources tho

Bret ๐
ye

Hope
lol Tony was trying to Protectโข so he took credit

Bret ๐
prime journalistic integrity

Xiu Ya Time
Meanwhile it isn't unusual for unsociable people to just like disappear for a while so Sephiroth and Cloud poofing away for a week nbd

Xiu Ya Time
Iron Dad

Hope
also... you know... attention whore

Xiu Ya Time
I owe Theo a log but lmao I should also post something where Sephiroth is just like "wtf are you doing"

Xiu Ya Time
to the group

Maraich
"I'm in the bathroom. Why?"

Xiu Ya Time
Yes, perfect Verstael I love it

Hope
lol

Maraich
"Do you need a sample?"

Maraich
:|a

Hope
eww

Maraich
Oh please, Tony

Maraich
It's science

Hope
no in jail. In jail, it's bonobos, you monkey

Hope
Keep your poo to yourself

Maraich
So immature, all of you


Kaili
pats your shoulder, it can definitely feel like A Lot when you underestimate the amount of blowback your character's gonna get, esp when there's a lot of excited OOC chatter about it too

Kaili
I think it's pretty cool and exciting how this has stirred things up personally!

Hope
Same


Kaili
(and fwiw Kyoko is super mad that Angry Words are not given any grace, even if she DOES completely understand why he got that response)

Xiu Ya Time
Yes! I'm glad this has given everyone so much to interact with

Kaili
it's just a real neat lil plot!

Maraich
Yes, it's definitely something fresh

Maraich
And

Maraich
We haven't even gotten the details of what they've discovered yet

Maraich
Potentially more incoming

Xiu Ya Time
Oh man lmao

Maraich
It's been a while since much new info has come out

Xiu Ya Time
Honestly the mods could do so much storywise with this

Kaili


Bret ๐
which i think would have also like... helped, haha.

Bret ๐
like ICwise

Maraich
We can pretty easily write off why they don't have the info out there yet

Maraich
First, they went to jail

Bret ๐
oh yeah totally

Maraich
Second, they're not trying to lead the natives to where they hid the goods

Maraich
So it makes sense that they don't know immediately

Bret ๐
definitely

Bret ๐
it just would have helped in the sense that there are characters going "okay well we are listening"

Bret ๐
(I do not mean this as a dig cuz LIFE~ and threads taking time, just narratively speakin)

Maraich
I am interested to see what they find out

Maraich
There's Aellyn script, too

Maraich
That they will need to decipher

Bret ๐
ya

Maraich
It might be a good opportunity to get a different character on that

KIะG DฮD
I wonder if holding hands will help with that since that is what let them see snippets of what was in the library books they were fixing way back

Maraich
Verstael and Tony are getting into computer stuff, and Verstael and Feanor would have written down Aellyn script they saw that a translator could tackle

Maraich
Possible

Maraich
Hold hands with him, Regis~

KIะG DฮD
wary look Will he get that hand back in one piece?

Maraich
Verstael has remained unarmed even during the breakin~

KIะG DฮD
He left his brain behind? Cause you KNOW that is his more dangerous weapon.

Maraich
He's flattered


Maraich
Also would be hilarious if Regis actually asked that, considering how well-armed Regis is in comparison lol

Maraich
One of these men could kill the other in a second

KIะG DฮD
could, but that man is also burdened with this thing called morality and fair play. LOL

Xiu Ya Time


Maraich
Truly horrible things
