Welcome to Gaia! ::

It's been a while. Can we expect a Louis post soon?

DM Note:

For all those playing canons, a bit of backtracking may be required.

More or less, from the beginning of the arc, everyone has been under an illusion. At the end of my last post, that illusion has been broken... but, contrary to the point of view of the earthlings, the canons have not been dead or doing nothing in the time that has passed.

The time the earthlings spent under Louis' limit break illusion(nightmare), the canons were sleeping for a good portion of the arc so far. However, due to Louis' focus on the earthlings, the canons were made aware of the spell the earthlings were under via the shards of Louis that revealed themselves to them when Louis' hold on their hearts weakened as the earthlings fought bitterly against him(this would be shortly after Alan's replica committed suicide in an attempt to kill Kyjora), thus allowing the canons to wake and continue the fight.

It became clear that both sides, both those under the earthling illusion and those outside of it had to simultaneously fight Louis from their respective ends to break the hold he had on them and release them all from the spell.

The earthlings, are unaware of the events outside of their illusion... the canons are also unaware what transpired inside the earthling's illusion.

While physical injuries would not be necessarily present, evidence of them would in the form of bruises beneath the skin as the body attempted to react to them in the same way it would have had it actually received a cut or blow to the skin. The same goes for spells and spent mana, the after effects would still be present, but evidence of using or casting the spells on your surroundings would not be there. ((thank god because some of those spells would likely have destroyed the train from the inside out))

FOR POSTERITY. No, wait, reference. Yeah. FOR REFERENCE.

Group 1: James, Bobbi, Dawn, Dani, Riku, Nich
Group 2: Joseph, Matthew, Demyx, John, Amy, Kyla
Group 3: Sayrike, Joe, Axel, Sora, Auron, Zell
Group 4: Kyle, Mel, Yuffie, Nanaki, Jenny, Leon

Possibly staying behind: Mel, Demyx, Dawn?

Are we waiting on Rhiko to say Matthew's spell allows us to see the bug again, (and what position it is, if different than before), or can we go ahead and assume we can see it now?

Seeing as Rhiko works retail and we're approaching Christmas, it's no surprise he hasn't had much time xD

Beyond that, there's a sick Nich, a busy Dani, a gone-John, and an unknown Zeiq. I'll send out some messages as always, but so it goes.

When can we expect the next plot progression?
