The Story Thus Far:

The Once-ler has successfully freed Martel Yggdrasil from captivity, bringing her to the woods for safety. Martel, afraid of the retribution this might bring, pleaded Once-ler to tell no one that she has escaped. Once-ler then returned to the Resistance, only telling Ino about what had happened. Martel meanwhile traveled the woods alone until she met up with Zack Fair, the now embittered mercenary that's been doing what he can to stay alive and free in this setting.

However it wasn't as though Martel's disappearance went without notice. Mithos noticed his sister's absence and has set out all stops to find her. Whether or not you know of Martel's release, it's hard not to notice the larger number of angels around - even if some appear less than intimidating. Because of this, the small traveling group of Zelos Wilder, Arya Stark and Genis Sage have decided to travel to the mountains to use the stronger winds for safe haven from any lifeless angels until they can stronger.

Meanwhile back in the Resistance, efforts to fight back still persist. The inventors are having struggles in creating better keycrests for their loved ones  that have been transformed into angels. In the less tech part of the Resistance, Tsuna and Allen continued their efforts to revert angels back to their former selves. They were successful in converting Mithos's former assassin Sheena, but due to some mishaps Maladict escaped from their attempts.

Oh and Garry moped.

With all these different teams going on, what will be the next thing to occur? Will things turn in favor to the Resistance, or will it only get worse? Will Garry ever stop moping? Will any of you remember to use the damn journal? Only time will tell...

[OOC: This post has two services, first as a recap as you seen above, as well as a mass open post for all the on-goings you rather not make an entire post for! Feel free to use this post as such or simply make your own post in the comm, it matters not! As for amount of time, while the game is very flexible we'll set it to be still a few days after the staring point of the game cause why not]

[It's not his fault he's from a world where perspective got thrown out of the window]

...I don't know. Maybe? [That's why Seussian houses don't fall down]

[thehangedrose]

But then again, one would question why it hasn't changed since you got here. I mean, if the gravity is different there and it's different here, you should be,, like, floating or goodness knows what else, and-

[A pause.]

Sorry, I'm rambling again...

[whichwayyoulean]

...About me floating.

Garry, you spend way too much time out here. It's not good for your mental wellbeing.

[thehangedrose]

[Buries his face in his hands again.]

Boy, if I had a penny for every time I told myself that...

[whichwayyoulean]

Maybe you should do the talking to more people thing.

...And when the hermit is telling you that, you know you really need it.

[thehangedrose]

Well, if I didn't want to bother you guys, sure! You always seem so busy, I'd just rather be out of your hair more than anything.

[A huff.] You're not really a hermit, you know. You live among people now, that's the last thing I could call you at the moment.

I'm more of a hermit than anything...

[whichwayyoulean]

Hey I keep to my own little spot in the cave. That's about as much of a hermit as I can get without coming out here and I'm pretty sure Ino won't let me do that.

...And we're not too busy. For you. You know. [ Friendship is hard stop making him say these things]

[thehangedrose]

Yes, but that's more like "I'm having personal space and time now for myself" than "I'm all by myself out in the woods with no one to talk to except for squirrels".

...

Not that I talk to squirrels or anything. Erm.

[But that last statement touches him, and he flush slightly as he glances away.]

Oh? Well...that's good. I-I'm glad.

[whichwayyoulean]

...Did you name any of them? The squirrels, I mean. If you're going to talk to them, I guess you need to tell them apart.

[Yeah, lets do something manly now to make up for this sentiment]

Yeah well.

[thehangedrose]

No, I didn't! I don't talk to squirrels, I was saying that hypothetically!

[BUT BROMANCE, ONCE-LER. BROMANCE.]

You know...you can be nice if you want to be. Sometimes. You're not that allergic to happiness.

[whichwayyoulean]

Being nice is giving happiness to others, not myself, there's a difference. I never said I couldn't do that.

[Just that, you know, he'd inevitably hurt all of them]

[thehangedrose]

But aren't you happy when you give other people things? I mean, you don't feel any sense of charity, or what?

[whichwayyoulean]

...

Do fake charities count?

[thehangedrose]

...

What does that even mean?? Either you have a charity which you give stuff to, or you don't. How can you have a fake charity?

[whichwayyoulean]

You can have fake charities as publicity stunts.

[thehangedrose]

[this is garry's face right now]

Why can't you just use a real charity in the first place?!

[whichwayyoulean]

[Very good. And now you get to learn what an absolute douche he is, Garry]

Because then I'd actually have to give money to an actual charity, rather than just funnel it back into the business.

[thehangedrose]

And what, exactly, is so bad about giving to charity? Don't tell me you're allergic to that, too.

[whichwayyoulean]

No, but I wanted more money and didn't want to give what I already had away.

It was a publicity stunt, nothing more. It made the public think Thneed.Inc was doing something good, rather than pretty much everything bad.

[thehangedrose]

...

[There's just a silence, before Garry says, quietly.]

You wanted it all for yourself, huh.

[whichwayyoulean]

[He's silent for a moment, before sighing]

Yeah. I enjoyed every second of it.

[thehangedrose]

[Garry is silent again, thinking it over. Well. Once-ler didn't seem like a bad guy. Sure, yes, he was a jerk, but not a bad guy]

But you don't do stuff like that any more, right?

[whichwayyoulean]

[It's hard to be the villain in your own story, especially when you never realised you were until it was too late]

No. Not any more. But it doesn't mean I couldn't, one day.
