Do it for him
State of the RP: I think, right now, I'm going to take a hiatus from playing Luz, but especially in Trench. Probably at least a month.
Do it for him
I feel like between what's happening at work and being in two games, I'm being pulled into a bit of a hard place, and I've been feeling really run down.
violentsound
you do what's best for you!

I a♥D♥o♥r♥y♥m♥
Yeah, definitely take a break if you need to!
Do it for him
After I realized a reply I made with Luz felt like I might be suffering with the character, I think I want to watch the season finale and then try to pull back and regroup with her,
serpentcyborg
Yeah, do what feels best for you
Do it for him
Lately I've honestly been so tired, and now I'm going from an overnight shift to a night one, my whole sleeping schedule is going to go right in the toilet.
Yuff
yeah do what's best for you!
yeah do what's best for you!
pan
take as much time as you need
Do it for him
And like, I want to do right by the character. She is my fav and if I keep trying to do what I'm doing now it's not going to feel like fun anymore
Do it for him
The more I thought about it today, the less anxious I strangely felt. I just need a lottle break while I figure out my ME situation'
Do it for him

Also, and I know this just applies to Deer Country, but sometimes I'll get stuck with a character in a particular setting if there's just too much that happens and it seems too hard to pull them back out
Do it for him
Because very likely I'll be looking for a new job. I NEED a 9-5, not just for the game but so I can see my wife and son more?
Do it for him
That HAS been happening.
serpentcyborg
And I know with Luz in that game she has the loss of Varian and Fern, her recent death, etc
Do it for him
That was why Kaisou has been a break for THAT kind of Luz. I love playing her, but now her headspace in wacked and I want to pull back and reel her in a bit.
serpentcyborg
So it might not help if every time you're going to post her on Deer it's like 'and another depressing post'
Do it for him
And then the replies pile up even though I know I missed the relationship meme and it just felt so overwhelming?
serpentcyborg
Yeah, I understand
Do it for him
I severely underestimated how tired this was making me, and now I feel like Luz is suffering for it
Yuff
The big thing to remember about Kaisou at least is that it really is a play at your own pace game. So if you need to take a break, do it! especially because yeah RL stress sure kills the RP drive
serpentcyborg
But yeah, I think a break sounds like a good idea, at the very least a hiatus from Deer and then go as slow as you need in Kaisou
serpentcyborg
Since the point of RP is to be fun, first and foremost

Do it for him
Yeah, thanks. I'm just...very tired lately. I'm glad I have the next few days off so I can actually unwind.
Yuff
I can also say the event for June is a lot chiller for Kaisou than May was. Like there is the option for Drama if people want it, but nowhere to the level of "people are dying"
Yuff
so it's an easy enough event to take it easy if that's what you desire
serpentcyborg
And Kaisou in general seems set up so it's easy to go as heavy or as light as you need to for different plots
Yuff
yep! and also easy to handwave why a character isn't around
Yuff
"they're busy with their life"
serpentcyborg
Since even in May, 'they don't want to go to the spirit realm and they're staying indoors at night' would be enough to avoid most of it, barring what happens to their CR
Yuff
yeah all the events are optional
Do it for him
awesome
Do it for him
I can at least have Luz poking around a little then, get her into the spirit of things!
Yuff
yeah!
