2016-07-21 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: We have a lot of girls. XD I'm contemplating making a male character...

2016-07-25 [Vhnori Valmos]: Imma make 30 female characters, just to offset that one male that you make, XD

2016-07-26 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: Okay... *taps chin* I'm going to say we need to stop accepting females now. Lol. Especially Vluara females. We need more males. And we need more Xiox characters. C'mon, who wants to be evil with me?! >:D

2016-07-26 [Eyelash-Wishes]: Yeah I'm considering swapping my female human for a male Xiox

2016-07-26 [Vhnori Valmos]: Well in theory, since the Xiox are a hive, you could make several Xiox characters and have them all controlled by the queen, lol

2016-07-27 [Asdroth]: Well time to get started then. :)

2016-07-27 [Eyelash-Wishes]: Everyone's characters are looking great :) so we've got 5 females and 4 males. Starting to even out nicely

2016-08-02 [Painted Autumn]: Hey so.... Can the Xiox...s? Xioxs? Xioxes? Anyway, can they hide as humans too or do we just have bug militants running around at night?

2016-08-02 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: A bit of both. Each race has a special trick they can do. For the Vluara, it's camouflage. The Xiox (which is also the plural, by the way) can infect a host with a "zombie" parasite so they can get humans to fight/hunt for them.

2016-08-02 [Painted Autumn]: So with a Xiox, they don't really go out... and you play the humans they infect?

2016-08-02 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: No, the Xiox drones do still go out. But as of yet we have not had any humans infected.

2016-08-02 [Painted Autumn]: So... there ARE bug anthros roaming around at night?

2016-08-02 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: Yes.

2016-08-02 [Painted Autumn]: I wish we could wear the skin of our enemies. Like in the original Men in Black. But, ya know, less obviously sketchy.

2016-08-02 [Painted Autumn]: I think I'll make a Vluara for now and maybe later make a Xiox...

2016-08-02 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: Lol ya know, that would be rather comical. XD Having the Xiox trying to think outside the box and donning human skins trying to get closer to the humans.

2016-08-02 [Painted Autumn]: Well their insect like right? Insects have different methods to dealing with people. Some don't mind flying around in front of your face and annoying you, but most think you aren't worth bothering with and go around you to get at what they want. The Xiox want the Vluara right? Sure they don't care if humans die too, but it's not what they are here for. Made sense to me they'd eat a person's entrails and take over their skins to get closer and find the 'nest' of Vluara. Or at least, some 'breeds' of Xiox would.

2016-08-03 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: That makes tons of sense, Autumn. :P Maybe i should add that to the Xiox description..?

Well, the number of each gender is caught up. We have 6 males and 6 females. Therefore, I am going to make another character. :)

2016-08-03 [Painted Autumn]: I'm not butting in! Just making sure I'm playing right. I don't want to look like I'm trying to change your game because that's not it at all! T-T
I just kind of picture this... Well like a termite mound but called a hive or nest with different breeds. Infertile females for childcare that can do that food regurgitation thing... Others stag beetle like builders. Flying messenger types or roach like infantry.... Like they seem all roach like to the humans but they aren't, they're just INSECT like. Maybe even spider like or scorpion like in some ways, even though those are arachnids... Maybe produce silk, are better at trap captures than brutal assaults... Or something like that. Just my thoughts.

2016-08-04 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: No, no, you're not butting in! That just makes tons of sense and it broadens the availability for character design with the Xiox. XD I just don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. It reminds me Starship Troopers, your idea. :P

2016-08-04 [Painted Autumn]: o_o I have not seen that so at least I can say I didn't steal the idea... I'm... glad I helped?

2016-08-04 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: Lol! Don't worry, you didn't steal any ideas. XD But you should watch that movie. It's a good one. :)

2016-08-04 [Vhnori Valmos]: All 3 of the Starship Troopers movies are good imo, lol

2016-08-04 [Synirria]: Such a good movie!!! One of my husbands favorites

2016-08-05 [Eyelash-Wishes]: To make a new character or not make a new character...

2016-08-05 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: Lol that is the question, isn't it?

2016-08-05 [Eyelash-Wishes]: Yes and a tough one at that ><

2016-12-08 [Painted Autumn]: Whether 'tis Funner in the game to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Plot lines,
Or to take Personas against a Whims of players,
And by opposing end them: to die, to play
No more; and by a [lack of] posts, to see the rp end

2016-12-08 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: Lol silly autumn. I sure hope that's not a message that you're quitting the rp. e_e

2016-12-08 [Painted Autumn]: *nervous smile*
*nervous chuckle*
*offers Cat cookie*

2016-12-09 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: *eyes cookie* .............. *slowly takes cookie and munches*

2016-12-15 [~Valkyrie~]: *dances*

2017-01-29 [Eyelash-Wishes]: Autumn will you be rejoining us? A new day has just started so it's a good time if you want to

2017-01-29 [Painted Autumn]: I don't know why I'm having so much trouble just reading the dang history. I did get up to my own post and the ones I missed of people referencing me (I am SO sorry about that) but I still have only the vaguest idea of what's going on. That's never happened before. I don't know why this RP is different.

2017-01-29 [Eyelash-Wishes]: We can just give you a brief summary if you like. The only big thing that happened was the Xiox getting into the haven, but everyone survived and the Xiox left in the end after speaking to Dryan. Apart from that there hasn't really been anything that should have any impact on your characters

2017-01-29 [Painted Autumn]: What did they talk about? Why would the Xiox back off if they found the prince? (King?.... leader... person?)

2017-01-29 [Eyelash-Wishes]: I'll go and hunt down the conversation :)

2017-01-29 [Eyelash-Wishes]:
Scavrous waited with anticipation this would be the first time he would get to see the Vluara and what could cause the queen to pull all forces to this crusade of xenophobic hate, but was disappointed as Dryan appeared. No natural weapons no fire arms or energy weapons and there stature was not far from a humans. He didn't know what to expect from this race, but this was not it... "Greetings leader of Vluara, I am Scavrous The Immortal, and you are far smaller than I had hoped..."

"What were you expecting?" Dryan replied dryly as he shifted back into his vluaran form, unafraid of showing himself to the xiox. He didn't wait for an answer though as he stood before Scavrous. "I am Emperor Dryan Ileri of the Vluarans. I believe you requested an audience with myself. What exactly is it you wish to speak of?" He asked in a firm and commanding voice.

Scavrous was a bit excited when Druan replied with a commanding tone. Maybe the value to the Xiox in there distraction was not do to there physical form. There had to be a reason for the hole Xiox millitary to be sent here. "When your people we're attacked. You fought back yes?" Scavrous started to Circle Dryan. "You must have done a lot of damage to draw the hole Xiox navy in prosecute." He needed to know this was more than just vanity on the queens part...
 
"No we did not fight. We did not retaliate. We did nothing. We Vluara are a peaceful race. We do not care to fight. " Dryan replied with a small frown as he crossed his arms over his chest and watched Scavrous as he circled round him."Your entire force has followed us merely for the fact we got away. I take it you are not accustomed to losing? You xiox steal and destroy for pleasure but it's not enough. Even when we gave up our home to you, you weren't satisfied. It wouldn't be a successful hunt until you had eradicated every last vluaran."

Scavrous listened intently to Dryan as he explained. No leader of his people would miss the chance to gloat a victory over the Xiox. This truly ment the queen brought the full might of the race to bare not on a foe worth fighting, but on a race of cowerds that had given willingly the entire reason for invasion- more living space, and more resources. To now waist so much on this races destruction was unacceptable. "One task force would have been enough for this, but instead I have been called here to hunt you?" The anger boiled up in his growling voice. Scavrous then went on. "Dryan, king of Vluara. Race of cowerds. I will not bloody my claws on you this day... I did promise your Safty for this meeting. I am not a normal Xiox as you clearly see I'm sure. I will be the one who you meet on the day of your end, but that day is not today. I will return when you have finally realized you can't run from us and hide with out dooming other worlds. When you finally know that this idea of not fighting an enemy like the Xiox and having peace is not a reality. As of now your race is not worthy to feed my ripper swarms. Let alone an end at my own hand. You could be the race that stands and stops us, but instead you hide in a dark little hole. You let us pillage this world, and consume its people. How very nobel king of cowards" a Sound escaped Scavrous that was something akin to a sanaral. The Stalkers all pulled off and moved away down the tunnel quickly. The honor guard stopped digging and followed at a walking pace and Scavrous laughed as he finished circling and put his back to Dryan. "I'll be back, and if your people don't fight. Then I'll take them for breeding stalk, and slaves."

Dryan watched him go with a heavy frown before his shoulders slumped and he sighed heavily. He turned and headed slowly back through the tunnel towards the hidden entrance, shifting back into his human form as he did. He paused outside and took a deep breath as he pinched the bridge of his nose before he raised a hand and knocked loudly. It was a few minutes before it opened and a surprised looking male peered out at him. Without a word he strode inside and headed through the tunnel in search of Casma and Reeves. He stopped outside the weapons store and watched as the pair handed out weapons and for a moment he didn't say a thing. Suddenly he stepped towards them, his expression unreadable. He stopped in front of Reeves and after a few seconds he slowly extended a hand to take one of the weapons he was passing out. "We're going to fight." He said softly with a serious glance at Casma.

2017-01-29 [Eyelash-Wishes]: So now Dryan wants to fight, which brings us to the new day, where he, Casma, Eva and Reeves are out gathering weapons :) They've just ran into Roland and Maeve. Everyone else including Rowan, Jacob, Nestal and Maisie are back in the haven

2017-01-29 [Painted Autumn]: Or so he's a prideful warmonger. Got it.

2017-01-29 [Eyelash-Wishes]: yeah so that's basically the biggest thing that's happened and the only important thing that I can remember that you need to know :) If it makes it easier we can just pretend no one made any mention of your characters and that they're only just arriving back now

2017-01-29 [Painted Autumn]: That's probably easiest. I really should have thought out my plan before making my characters...

2017-01-29 [Eyelash-Wishes]: don't worry about it :) Whenever you're ready you can choose to join in with the group in the city or go back to the haven with Rowan and the others
