I do that quite a bit, another hobby of mine is taking groups of posts from one rp and structuring it fully into a singular post, makes it look more like a page out of a book. That's the nice stuff about nationstates, we can go back and mess with stuff after the fact whenever we want.

I don't remember honestly seeing those as separate rp's, since you have some 10 characters closely connected and had worded it so that they would all be traveling together. I figured you were just going to focus on Lincoln and Lucy at first and bring in the others later, so I can see how they got entangled. I can do a simple edit of the ending of my post now that I looked back and saw Lincoln dozing off on the hill, I had just remembered that he was starting to fall asleep. That's what gave me the idea for the dream demon actually lol. I wasn't planning on anything overt after the dream, since now Lincoln is aware of something in said dream, and was going to leave how Lincoln would proceed to you, since as a reveal OOC Myriad has limited influence in the real world. Whether he would try and avoid sleeping or try sleeping again to find the cloaked figure, or try and find something on the net about spooky hands, however you think Lincoln would proceed. Don't think of decisions on the spot as mistakes either, you have a base to build off now, the soulmate connection. You can take that in any direction you want, whether they were all unique occurrences that linked themselves together through some ritual, fragments of one higher being, the end products of an ancient ritual, superior souls too strong for normal cycles of death to contain, the survivors of a great disaster that consumed the rest of their race and they're all that's left, and those are just backstory ideas that floated through my noggin. The actual uses for their connection are quite diverse. They may share all the same feeling yes, which makes hurting one hurt them all, but they also are highly dangerous and the most efficient team fighters, operating almost like a hive mind. They are excellent at stealth missions, as they can sneak one in and the rest of the bondmates know what they know. If they can tap at will into each other's senses that would also be quite potent in stealthy situations. It's just one of those things that will be interesting to see what becomes of it. There isn't going to be much actual combat vs the dream demon, since, yanno, dreams, so you don't have to worry about rushing the combat mechanics of their bonded situation. Just take your time with it, throw ideas around, see what sticks and what you like.

Also the reason I wasn't responding when you restarted that post was because I'm working full time lol. Covid hasn't limited my work at all.

Mhm, all in all this has been a nice exchange of getting to understand each other more. I've certinally done my fair share of mistakes. The other as you mention is me not taking my time. I just have it conditioned in me to be urged to respond to a post right away. And it was kicking in that night. Speaking of, I do got the muse to come back to this yesterday because by making the rp with John elsewhere be depressing by having Lincoln's sisters be brutally killed and he still carries trauma and grief since that event. I now wish to write stuff not as angst ridden stuff and so here I am. I'll certinally be spending the next several days working on stuff before doing rp so I'm not running naked like last time.
