[OOC] Academy of Drell, Part II

Ah. Okay.

I figured it out - all the in-thread links point to the test server.

Problem solved. Now onto Chapter 4. Although how Charlotte and Keith got from Coles' house to the pool (and what they discovered while there) is not in there, I can fill in the gaps...

Great story - wouldn't be half this good without the psionics. Congratulations, folks, you've made me a believer...

 

[Zhure]

dpdx - thanks! It's all about quality players, IMO.

Jeremy - you rock, thanks. I salvaged it all.

Gnomeworks - ditto.

- Running behind today, but there should be a small update eventually.

Try there for the intro to the pool.

The gap was caused by my mini-vacation and me trying to tie the group back together upon my return. I tried to bring everyone to the same focal point in time but it kind of fell flat and was awfully forced. Anyway... it worked out alright.

ACK. Massive computer problems (again). Stupid power spike. I managed to get this thing airborne again though. (grumbles)

 

[Jeremy]

Zhure, buddy, you don't want your computer airborn, you want it running. Airborn things are in the air, and what goes up must come down. Computers coming down out of the air is not a good thing. At least not from a window, but that's another story.

Speaking of stories...

 

[Zhure]

No no no, this one is airborne! It screams. Well, it did as of six months ago. Nowadays, a 1.3 GHz isn't that impressive. It's running smoothly now. My "take it all apart and stare at it" philosophy made it go again. Last night staring at the darkened monitor and silent case was dreadful.

 

[Jeremy]

I'd imagine. Don'cha love it and hate it when it fixes itself?

 

[dpdx]

So, are Keith and Kith gone/on hiatus from the campaign, and being replaced by Mortimer and Lyrique?

If so, I'm guessing the definition of the term, "mixed feelings" is next to a picture of Charlotte in the Academy Library right about now.

Something along those lines...
