Keshin seems to have a weird relationship with the rebellion. Sometimes he's friendly, sometimes he's killing them.

Okay, I finally caught up in here. No energy to post tonight, but I'll get on that soon. Sorry about the delay.

Yeah, pretty much Chad. XD

It sources from the fact that Keshin/Joanne are a for-hire bounty hunter, actually. They kill, capture, or steal whatever or whoever someone pays them to. This results in a situation where both the Rebellion and the Empire have, at various points, paid them to attack someone from the other. Since Keshin is completely indiscriminate in who they work for, well....there you go.

To make the whole thing even weirder, Keshin has been hired to kill Myitt specifically so many times, and has been hired by Myitt to kill people so many times.....that they've developed this bizarre frenemy relationship. It's fun. XD

Why in the world did I immediately fall back into using past tense when I started posting for Salem? There is no way past tense is that deeply associated with the character in my mind, is there?

Maybe. Is that the tense you take in Salem's Story? I've seen the title, but don't actually read it.

Yeah, Salem's Story is written in past tense, and his posts almost always have been as well, but I'm trying to switch my RPing to be present tense lately. It's just weird to me that I've been so good about present tense until I was posting exclusively for Salem.

Maybe it's just a part of the narrative voice you associate instinctively with him; if it is, there's nothing wrong with that, and it can help put the readers in the mindset of Salem being a unique entity from the rest who use present tense.

The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

I think that's what it must be-- I just, on some level, instinctually associate Salem with past tense. Either that, or I know him well enough as a character that I just tend to write his posts without needing too much thought, and I'm still at the point where writing present tense requires me to consciously make sure I'm doing so. When I write Aetheas's posts, I'm still not always sure right away what his reaction to any situation would be, since I'm still getting to know him, so I take a bit more time on his posts, and during that time, I tend to notice if I've missed a verb tense or two.

Okay, I'm not entirely sure who's still in the room with Illim and Terenia. If Myitt is there, Aetheas should definitely react, so if she is, I think he probably doesn't see her for now.

I don't think she's in the room. I could be wrong, though.

I wonder if I should wait until after keshin and Salem's conversation is done before Claxter talks to her.

It's just Illim and Terenia. Myitt is with Keslin in the hallway somewhere.

...I know I suck...I keep saying I'm gonna post. Bear with me guys. It's been a long week.

EDIT: Okay, I threw a post up. Sorry it isn't my best writing...I'm fighting a migraine.

Love you, Kells ^_^ Life happens. No worries.

Her eyes snap to Aetheas, and they narrow slightly. "Please don't tell me you're that ****'s little sidekick," she says, gesturing in the direction Claxter went. "One is more than enough on this dapsen ship." Frustrated, she sits back on the 'bed', frowning.
Aetheas withers like a wilted flower, having been unprepared for Terenia's anger. Silent and numb, he stumbles back down the corridor and into the bathroom, where he weeps like a little girl.

Or, alternately:

When Terenia speaks, Aetheas stares, aghast. He looks to Illim, confused, and says, <I am not familiar with the type of thing I am seeing.>

And He's going to be flying the ship too! Isn't that great?
