Homeward Bound
-------------------
While on the way to visit her brother, Justice lets her Togekiss take a break in the Tanglethorne Jungle and is greeted on ground-level by Seles and her Ditto, Duke, who has taken the form of a human. They introduce themselves and, as the conversation continues, Justice tells the woman where she's going, which prompts Seles to mention that she, like Justice's brother, is also a knight!

As the weather starts to pick up in an uncharacteristic snowstorm, the group looks for cover and finds a small hut in which they can take shelter and set up camp. Seles tries to make it more comfortable by releasing her Arcanine, which causes long-supressed memories from Justice's childhood to start coming back. While she is able to quell them at first, they prove too much and the girl eventually breaks down from her fear of fire and Fire-types. As she hallucinates that the hut has caught fire, Seles, Duke, and the other Pokemon present all try to calm her, to no avail.

Eventually, it occurs to one that if they can just find the Togekiss's Pokeball and release her, perhaps she will be able to calm the poor girl. After a brief search, they are able to find it and the Togekiss successfully comforts her trainer. After some time of letting Justice calm and offering as much comfort as she can manage, Seles mentions that she wants to meet someone as well: her cousin, who was once captain of the royal knights. The difference is she has no idea where he is and is searching for him rather than just going to visit as Justice is. Eventually, the storm dies down and they start to head out again, ready (they can only hope) to face whatever is in store.

These young nobles are the best friends EVAR<3 ... and engaged (though Sofia is oblivious) via arranged marriage.

Because Skitty on Wailord really isn't too bad, at least by comparison.

Harvey X Sofia

Welcome to Era, a once-prestigious kingdom, and now a mere shadow of its former glory. Rebel forces have dethroned the monarchy, aiming now to bring down the nobility. Ambitious Nobles meanwhile vie for power, though others simply wish to keep what they have. Others are Loyalists, believing some former-royalty could end this anarchy. Then there those who see a prime opportunity, and others who don't care at all. Some form Gangs, fighting for personal gain or unique causes, while others are more interested in the resurfacing of Shadow Pokemon. And naturally, there are those who just want to ignore everything and live their personal lives. There are no clear lines in Era.

Where in this chaos do you fall?

Quick Rules

Be respectful, friendly, and PG-13. Listen to staff and be nice to each other and guests~ Lower end of PG-13 for the box, too, generally, please. People can avoid topics they don't like, but the box is just kind of out there in the open.
Dark font only, please. Lighter colors can clash with some skins.
When discussing works of fiction, no spoilers. If you want to discuss too much, make a topic in the Socialize board. Kthxbai~
Do not link adoptables and/or ask for clicks. If you want to put something in your signature on the board, that's cool, but asking is just annoying.
Have fun, or face the consequences. D< (The consequences may involve chocolate.)

TIME FREEZE.

All right, so...

Ether hasn't been active in how long?

My muse is stone cold dead.

Jay's muse is stone cold dead.

Elayne is trying but has work and some RL issues lately making her stressed.

Our dear mods are trying, but there's only so much they can do essentially-alone.

SO. What do we do about this?

Until further notice, I am freezing time in Era at ROUGHLY MARCH 31.

If you have already created threads dated after this (whether a specific date/month is given or you just mentioned it being spring recently), this is fine. Just play them out as you were, and don't worry about it.

Just PLEASE, TRY TO LIMIT NEW THREADS, and if you make new ones, try to keep them around the end of winter/very beginning of spring, or literally-one-day-after pre-existing threads. (New members, of course you guys can make new threads, but try to make their setting some time in the December 2011 to April 2012 range.)

The point of this freeze is both to give the mass of members who have found themselves busy and/or museless as of late time to recover, and EVERYONE time to catch up.

When the Capital was attacked back in November, I had plans for something else to happen within two or three months. Instead, it seemed nearly all the threads from that were still going, and it felt kind of overwhelming to try to throw something else on.

So let's take as long as needed, here. Eran life is going to slow way down to stop rushing our real lives and let us catch up here.

When it seems like everyone's feeling more up to par, and most of the threads seem to be winding down or wrapped up, time will start moving again SLOWLY. For instance, I will make it "April" for maybe two or three months, then "May" for quite a while, and so-on. Time will probably keep moving slowly like that until we catch back up to the current month next year, or a good point is reached to take a site-wide time skip to catch up. In the latter case, every effort will be made to ensure everyone has time to plan and discuss with each other what character developments will take place in those few months to a year we may be skipping.

Is everyone cool with this?
