Alpha wrote:A quick post to ask a quick question: who all is still active here and interested in RPing? I see we've had a few people return, but I'm wondering if you guys are actually back and [wanting to be] active, or if you only had time for a single post. Please, just post a quick reply so that we can all see -- even if you reply to the poll. I'd like to know exactly who is voting, even if I don't know what exactly you voted for.

I myself am unsure at present if I'll be able to make an active return (summer work plus numerous other projects make such a possibility difficult), but I still check this place most days to see if there's any activity. And if any topics interest me, I'll probably make a post or two in them.

I've become more and more distant of HA2 and focusing more on Age of Chaos... (Ask questions if you want, but it's still... yeah never mind). I don't know what to think of at the moment. In the past, when I had been giving up on HA2 as a whole, what kept me here was the community. However, isolation in my life has sort of made me distant from here... But I miss this place. It's where I began. This is where I became the writer I'm proud to be now. ... I owe HA2 more than I've been giving it, or had been even when it was very active. I quit Orpheus' story out by Ruto with Valtur altogether, and the War is still waiting on me, if it's still even considered something to be done. Kokiri Wolf, I don't even think I've met you yet, really. We all know each other around here, but I had my age-long break, and I come back for a visit and this newcomer Kokiri Wolf is a moderator (well, you're green now, which is better than brown). Congrads on that by the way.

... The linear timeline that is forever absent from the HA storyline, with all of ours merged as one, is what I really miss about this game/site/forum RPG/place of calling for me. That's why I had my departure earlier to begin with. I could have two topics going on with two characters, and reply to one, and the chronology becomes automatically haywired. That's what has resulted in my long absence. Since my arrival to HA2 all those years ago, I've needed one. But I have to accept that that's not how this is structured, and adapt. I've mostly just been a background character, and have been very very (VERY) Narcissistic in saying that I'm the Secondary Hero, blah blah blah... I've got notes of HA2 storylines for Nogare, but each part of it is SO long, it takes loyalty to stick to (and I usually just got HA2 fits and otherwise kept up with life).

Another reason for my hesitation is Nogare. He's my main character for Age of Chaos, and always feel like I'm telling too much about his character (which is always changing) every time used to post here. So... I think I'd like to get a new character if we're gonna try to give this another go. Nogare never worked in HA2. It's where he was born, but he never really ended up 'happening' ever. He was just there, as a background rival for Kasei, and was otherwise centered around by all the goggly-eyed fans I created for him. Not interesting. So I'll figure out someone new, and I'll leave Nogare for AoC alone.

It's like playing a song on the piano that you haven't played for over a year, or meeting with a friend you haven't seen for a while. Revisiting the past, where greatness has been found. Saying hello after a long-ago good-bye. Hyrule Adventure 2 will always be in our hearts, and it will always call us home, no matter how long we focus on everything else. I already know that I'm going to grow old thinking of this place... This is really where it all began for me. Everything I ever want to be came from this brilliant creation of Jack and I often feel like he's past it on to me. Because it's inspired my writing so much, really, Legend of Zelda has stayed close to my heart since I got into it, which was about second grade. I never met Jack, but he left this behind.

Our characters, our proving grounds for our writing futures, and a reminder of the greatness of this Nintendo masterpiece LoZ, and what it has to teach us, is founded here. HA2 will always be our home. Our Kokiri Forest, Mercay Island, Ordon Village, Hyrule Castle. North Castle Courtyard. Our Hyrule. Our destiny. It's our turn to write on the next pages of the Legend of Zelda, fellow adventurers. Exiles are out there, festering the wilderness and bringing death and destruction to its people. We have a role to play in this latest chapter of The Legend. Our Legend. Let's never let it die. Okay?

I'm inspired now ^_^. I'll go and post a topic ^_^. I'm not saying where it will be though. It's time for us to explore the world. Learn this game, and imagine how Jack intended it to remain after he had beheld its completion. I bet most of you don't know where Blind's Gang is . Let's go!

But first, for me, I gotta create a character . I'll get to my topic in a bit. ^_^"

I'd like to focus on the overarching storyline of HA. I can post whenever and however many times as long as there's a GM to keep tabs on the posts. I was really frustrated months ago when things started dying and we were in the midst of sleuthing around in Saria Town.

I'd love to get back in but not unless there's some consistency so far as posts go.

Agreed. If we could get some good RG's that won't quit on us partway through, it would stir up some activity. How many of the mods are still around to do this type of thing? Also, if you'd like to join in, It's been 29 minutes, and neither Dogura nor Darilan has seen a single soul coming to help out the cause. It'd be nice to have some backup. Wink wink.

Um . . . to my knowledge the only moderators who have gotten online here lately are myself and SL13. And HNS, but that was only to inform us that he quit, so it hardly counts. I could try to RG the Saria storyline, but my time is not nearly so free lately. So I can't promise anything.

Alpha, it's totally understandable if you don't have all the time in the world for HA. I'm just saying that a couple of updates a week seems like an appropriate amount to keep things flowing since it's definitely not going to be a back and forth between me and you. Other people will surely post.

Anyways, I'll start posting sometime tonight. farizzle

I'm back, but I don't find anything interesting to join at the moment.

Well, I'm still alive! Its just hard to do anything online anymore because of work, and lack of knowing the password on the computer. ^^;

Mostly just work though.

I've done allot of brainstorming and I've been thinking about starting a new account since I've let Sovelis pretty much disappear. That and I made him WAY to OP for my own good. Thinking about making a Deku Scrub for some lulz. probabbly will just stick with Sovy though, since I do need to actually finish his story here with him and his brother. xP

I've been waiting for everyone to come back, honestly. Now that we've got the group together, let's do this. If you wanna know about my personal life/reasons why I haven't been on, message me or something, since I won't be saying much here.

Oh, well, I guess I can say I've been accepted to the New York Conservatory for the Dramatic Arts, so I'll be attending there. That's semi-big news I guess.

But yeah. Time to post.
