bring it all to life.
As far as "descendants" goes, there was some discussion of that between
me and one of the other RPers, but it is undecided as of yet.
Completing an rp is hard. Completing more than one of a continual story is
even harder. Sometimes it takes not only just the right people but the right
Eferhilda: 6. Do you have a particular scene within the rp that stood out the
GM to make it happen. One such GM is our infamous JDizzle383 or just

JDizzle383: 2. Busy having fun, Efer. I live by the philosophy that if you
can't find something fun in your day, you've wasted it. My proudest moment
is going to sound odd... It was when I realized how to end Mass Xover and
Xover for half of Arc 1, and it was only set to last 3 arcs by 3/4ths of the
