It would also have had him NPCing the player char for three or four days already. Apparently though, according to the Praexon, I should be thinking at a pace of 1/week not 1/day, (which is slower than any dnd pbp game I have played), which is not the pace I was thinking in in giving people time to respond.<br/><br/>(Just to give an idea of the pace of one of my games, my char has gained 16th and 17th level (from just being in 15th) in the time it's taken us to play out the scenes since the Heodo fight. I'm not complaining at the pace of the game, it's just adjusting from that pace of game to this one can be hard sometimes.)<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Geno wrote:</cite>{{Now hold on... just wait a bit and I'll make a post.

I'll leave you to your own thing since Geno wouldn't have much to say ICly anyway, except for designating someone to do the honors of giving Nukisi her dose of irony, or perhaps he'd do it himself after a heal. But I guess I waited too long.}}</div></blockquote><br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Geno wrote:</cite>{{I don't like making an OOC thing of this either, but since we're already here... I think you've stated pretty much how I feel about this, Eidolon. I was not given the appropriate amount of time (i.e. one week from being spit up by Chrrou) to make an IC response to Centaur's actions, and this little mini-story that Praexon took the time to create and play out has ended on a poor note. HC, you rushed everything ahead so you could hurry up and get the meal without having to feel like you wronged anyone, but in doing so you didn't allow for proper closure. To put it another way, your greed caused you to ignore some complex storytelling methods, such as: resolution. Geno wasn't even given the chance to say a cheesy one-liner as a sendoff to Nurkisi. It also seems that you forgot that Nurkisi is Praexon's character, and this anti-climax is likely irritating for him as well since he's been the one doing all the writing for her (and for Wu). Or maybe you didn't forget, but instead just didn't care. Either way, I hope you enjoy the ending you've created! It seems like everyone else was wanting something different, though.}}</div></blockquote><br/><br/>My answer to both of these is, Sorry Geno, and it's tied up with what I thought the pace of the game is. To the pace I was thinking the game was trying to run at, 24 hours is plenty of time to respond in, <span style="font-weight: bold">if</span> you'd managed to get online since the last reply had been posted. Thus I checked you last log in time to see if you'd managed to get on (for I know there are several reasons in RL why people might not be able to get on), saw you'd been on and hadn't responded and thus thought you didn't have one. ((That was the only reason I'd been checking your log-ins)) <br/><br/>Finally to Chrrou and Geno, and to the others. The scene isn't over yet. Yes Rihyan is eating Nurkisi (which is entirely in character for him) but there's a reason I (as the player) have been having him eat her so slow. Going by what's happened in char (eg Chrrou's use of the wand aswell as other actions) it's been over a minute since Rihyan started eating her, and he's barely halfway (her forelegs and entire upper body are still outside), going by the rules he could have easily eaten her in less than 6 seconds.</div></div></div><br/><br/>The sound of a second voice, this one slightly more familiar to him, having a go at someone, begins to pierce through the blissful fog currently clouding most of Rihyan's attention from the taste in his mouth.<br/><br/>Opening his eyes, he finds he can't see too much, just the green fur of Nurkisi's anthro back, enough attention drawn back in time to get the end of Kahmouri's comment. He almost jumps at the words from Chrrou, wondering who the hell it is with that powerful a voice, it's enough to bring himself back to full attention on his surrounding, though his tongue running over the underside of the foxtaur keeps trying to drag him back, something about it sounding familiar. He doesn't really twig who it is until Chrrou has changed back and dealt with both Geno and Kahmouri and come in his direction.<br/><br/>He's stuck there for a moment, not able to reply, the fact crossing his mind that Geno has had as much if not more than him to eat in proportion to his body size, though the dragon-folk doesn't show it, yet he's the one that keeps getting picked on for overeating. Now though he has the problem of how to defend himself, unable to speak with a mouthful of foxtaur, two ways of clearing his mouth, either by swallowing, which he gets the feeling will only make things worse, or by spitting the tauress back up, which run completely contrary to his instincts. As such Nurkisi ends up exactly where she was, going no deeper, though not coming out either.
