Speaking of speaking of TRB, if he would still like to have Sisko and his ship appear, I should coordinate with him so that a Brick Joke I had been planning to do can happen alongside it.

To clarify from the previous page, CAC's choice on whether to stay with the prisoners or go back inside the lair to fight Dark Stanford or Raven Beak is because I hope that he and Twilight would have a heart-to-heart about their battle should he choose to go with her. However, I'm not stopping him from picking the fight option, but Twilight will be upset that she didn't get the chance to talk with him about it and everything that happened to her in this arc. In that case, I'll see if I can arrange for a proper meeting with them sometime after this arc has finally ended, or at least have Twilight send CAC a heartfelt letter about her experience in Asriel's nightmare.

Regardless, Bismuth will stick to her promise to go wherever CAC goes.

Apologies for pinging ~Oggy 123 multiple times on Discord and now here, but I haven't responded to Nozomi yet here because I honestly cannot tell if she was deliberately ignoring Mimi's question here. IK Nozomi refused to disclose her family's homeworld (or if they're nomadic), but Mimi offering her to keep it a secret between her, Dupe, and 6k1 (and Ally by extension) via an Un Reveal is the best compromise I can give here. Mimi was just being curious about it, as she always is, and while it's okay for Nozomi to turn down her offer instead of whispering it to her, I at least want an explicit in-universe confirmation on that.

After discussing it with J99908, I decided to change the Sol-Anemone chat so that the Anemone last season was a third one unaffiliated with "6k1's" Nomi (and Sol) or the "other" Nomi with Swain. Sol hiding the fact that they recall their past experiences with S322!Anemone is because they think that no one would believe that they have these memories, and thus call them delusional. However, if something they learned from a past life is crucial, then they'd try to pass it off as a dream when they tell someone about it.

I already pinged ~Vengeful Bale and ~Oggy 123 on Discord to decide on how they should split up their ZDR parties between leaving with the prisoners on the ship and staying behind to fight Raven Beak and Dark Stanford, but I'll do so again here. For Oggy, especially, I'm pinging him again because he just wrote for the Shelter, but not for ZDR. His team was last seen in the Looniversity Room, but regardless if they're with Veena and co. at the hallway or with the OG Crystal Gems, etc. outside the lair, they better decide soon on who's staying and who's leaving.

I've been super busy and occupied with printing works this week, but I'll try to have the post today or this weekend

Alright.

And speaking of Oggy, 6k1 just asked Nozomi where her ship crashed so that the engineering team will know where to fix it.

I'm still waiting for Nozomi to reply to 6k1 (and for Oggy's ZDR team to decide on where to go), but I'll be going on an overnight vacation later in the afternoon in my time. IDK if the resort we're going to has improved their Wi-Fi since our last visit, but I will be busy regardless.

EDIT: Yes, wifi's still limited here, so I will be sporadic until tomorrow.

EDIT 2: And I'm finally home.

Okay... I was hesitant with having Peridot make the preflight announcement because NTC wanted to continue his rebuttal at Blood Moon, but I think the passengers noticing the corrupted Corpius right away kinda messed up the pacing. Unless I misunderstood what he said on Discord, please let me know if I should postpone the announcement to a later post so that the rebuttal can still push through earlier.

EDIT: NTC agreed with it, so I'm keeping it.

Oh, dear, I hope I didn't contribute to this. I only had CAC noticing because kablammin had Sidon noticing it too.

Sorry if I ended up disrupting anything. I'll be more careful next time.

~Oggy 123 I tried pinging you several times on Discord about confirming if the crash site the engineering team found was that of Nozomi's ship, but since you didn't respond, I'm pinging you again to say that 6k1 is now asking Nozomi herself to check with them.

Warning

Due to consistent behind-the-scenes problems with this arc that I feel have been detrimental to both the health of the RP and the mental health of several players involved, I am heavily considering cutting this arc short for the sake of the sanity of everyone involved in it.

Currently the arc will still conclude as planned (with a final fight against RB and DS and all that it would entail), but I think we need to reach that point sooner rather than later because I think this arc has reached the point that I feel it is legitimately damaging the RP. More than one player (including both this arc's GMs) has admitted to Arc Fatigue on some level and I think we need to hurry up and get the heck past this arc already.

Please note that I am not blaming any one person for the reason why I am sincerely debating cutting this arc short, I've just been watching the way the atmosphere surrounding this RP has changed within the Discord server and the way everybody including myself has been acting during this arc and I am ready to just go "THAT'S ENOUGH!". Again, being in this RP should be fun and lead to some wacky shenanigans, not worrying that everyone involved is going to need therapy after a given arc.

By mental health of "the players", do you mean the RPers or some of the characters they're using?

The former, although I can't help but wonder if CAC's character arc was unintentionally an allegory of the stress the other players have been going through.

But in other news, we have discussed most of the arc's issues on Discord and are trying to amend them as we speak. Specifically, Creative Differences, Poor Communication Kills, personality clash between players, and the GMs overcorrecting themselves from past problematic arcs ultimately resulted in excessive Railroading despite our best efforts to mitigate it.
