Set approached the crowd of people, clutching the fillet knife, with the intention of stabbing as many people as possible to get Aratius to break.

"Isis!" Jaryl called, still trying to reach out for her, wasting valuable oxygen by calling out her name.

''S-Somebody... Save her!''

(Okay, I want to address something as far as summaries go...

Emma is right, it's getting ridiculous how many people actually read what other users have put. This wouldn't bother me if there were general reasons for this but we've gotten to the stage where...

1. People are asking for summaries and then someone else shows up an hour after, asking for another summary of the events that were summarised less than 100 posts ago. (Seriously, people can't even be arsed looking in the OOC posts for previous summaries... You could at least CTRL+F and type 'summary' into the search box.)

2. People asking for summaries, when people aren't around or are too busy with the RP, waiting an hour and then asking again. Seriously, it's like... 100 posts! You could read it ten times over in the time that you've waited for me/Eilo/Uber or Apollo to summarise.

3. People don't know what's going on.

Not only is it soul crushing to have to write the same thing twice in the space of an hour but it's also incredibly frustrating that I'm having to write every plot point out twice, because people are too lazy to read it the first time.

I'm more than happy to write the recap at the start of every chapter and I'm not going on strike as far as summaries are concerned, I will still write them, if they are needed. But please, ask yourself, from now on, "do I need a summary?" I know that some cases like Seyrio's and Chains' demand summaries and I'm happy to supply them, in those cases, where something has happened beyond their control. Hell, I'd even be happy to supply them if you go on holiday or whatever or if you're having a crappy day and you're too pissed off to read.

But if you've just gone out for a few hours or you've decided to have a Game of Thrones marathon or something, then please ask yourself "do I really need a summary?"

You'd be saving my work load a great deal if you'd just read the above posts and you'd have a far better understanding of the story, characters and current events, instead of having to guess all of the damn time or constantly ask questions.

I'm not saying "read or GTFO," it's more of a slight annoyance than hair gripping frustration but please be considerate for your fellow users and what they have written or at least think of poor old Psycho, who's trying to kick several habits. :P

Karia looked over to Xervish, noticing that he had vanished, she grabbed hold of Kiro's arm and shook it.

"H-He's gone!"
