The realization I have to take a small break from FF15 and rp work has hit me a bit, but I'm happy to say my closest have helped assure me I'm not abandoning the fandom. On the contrary, that I'm embracing it even harder with FF14.
Object permanence has never been my strong suit. I have a terrifying fear if it's out of my sight, I'll forget about it- like some Golden Retriever falling for a fake ball throw. But I also know taking a break from roleplaying several characters at once is a relief to my mind.
I carry a roster, storyboard, concept work, so much made to make a roleplay. It isn't just smut, because I can write that any time.
The formal announcement is to be added to the Scourge's Armiger server, but as I shelve my rp book, I know it isn't forever. I know my partner and I will come back to it refreshed and without doubt.
I have always loved FF15, and there won't ever be a place it doesn't belong with me.
From the very dashing and mischievous Ardyn, paired with Vivian Wormwood.
To a young Verstael also paired with Vivian.
From this rough and tumble Shield paired with Vivian in the og storyline,
To Prompto, who I paired with a Barbarian/Monk named Catherine Liddell-- a girl who loves chocobo as much as she does EGL.
To Ignis, who I paired with the slightly older (by a year) sister to Catherine, Evelyn Liddell- a dominatrix and Noctis' interrogator--
To Aranea, paired with the adopted daughter to Cor Leonis, Azura.
And I didn't forget about Gilgamesh, and his loving, turbulent Beloathing with Archane of Grobbman lore.
Giving Ravus a fencer teacher that he would eventually fall for, Atalanta-- perhaps set the tone for what rp work has always been about for me.
Balance of nature and science, life and death, beginning and end.
Noctis even got to save my longest running rpc since 2011-- Erzsebet Hawthorne. I always thought of Erzse as a herald in rp. She comes and a storyline dies.
Yet it's not death. It's torpor. Rest.
We'll be back. Give us time.
