@Cobalt Me too, tbh. Foundational. He was a very high passion character so it makes sense that he got into your heartmeats, though.

@Cobalt oof đ„ș

Ah it was a profound character death. Got it.

I feel a bit bad. I see all the emits and how people talk about stuff going on and think it would be fun. However, I donât feel invested, at all. I am pretty certain it is because most of what is talked about I donât understand. I donât really do much for combat characters so I donât sign up for much cause a lot of the bigger plot stuff has combat focused. I also would rather âgive upâ a spot I would take to people who are invested and know all the stuff going on. I am not big on huge scenes anymore, canât handle them like I did when I was younger⊠I also know if I go to the âinfo dumpâ scenes people do, Iâll get overwhelmed and confused.
I /want/ to feel invested, I just donât for above reasons.

Iâve enjoyed watching all the scenes my friends are in and cheering for them. SOME SAD SACRIFICES. Some major badasses. GOOD LUCK. Arx has had a wild ride and a lot of good stories.

I get two things from reading stuff from this thread.
-
That I definitely am not the target audience for Lords & Ladies roleplay.
-
That Arx, even with all of itâs trouble throughout its history, is a pretty good example of âdoing it rightâ in our hobby.
Congrats to all you Arx players and staff for doing cool stuff.

Iâve had a few weeks to sit with my thoughts, and I must say that Iâm actually really grateful that this story had a concrete, definite ending. Iâve never actually seen a story through to the extent that I have with Arx. There are inevitably some loose threads that never got tied off, but not every thread really needs to be.
Every other MU* Iâve been on has just sort of fizzled out like a friendship thatâs run its course, but Iâm really grateful that this ended up feeling story-shaped from beginning to end. Itâs not an âendingâ for the characters, and Iâm left to tantalizing daydreams about what happened after the curtain fell, and thatâs a valuable thing to have.

And on an unrelated note:
I was discussing this with @kalakh - I so wish Arx had the budget of big story projects like Vox Machina or Critical Role, because this setting would make for such a kickass Graphic Novel or Animated Series. Argh!

Be a pretty cool podcast too

Welcome to Nightâ Arx. Welcome to Arx.
I feel you should do this now.
The City Council announces the uncovering of a new Labyrinth at the corner of Crown Way and Visitor Road, beneath the Archive. They would like to remind everyone that books are not allowed in the Labyrinth. People are not allowed in the Labyrinth.
It is possible you will see Hungry Figures in the Labyrinth.
Do not approach them. Do not approach the Labyrinth.
The door is warded and highly dangerous. Try not to look at the Labyrinth, and especially do not look for any period of time at the Hungry Figures. The Labyrinth will not harm you.
bird's still the word

I do have writing credits for song lyrics for my brother-in-lawâs band.
Those lyrics may or may not have been inspired by events on Arx.
