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 donāt feel invested, at all. I am pretty certain it is because most of what is talked about I donāt understand. I donāt really do much for combat characters so I donāt sign up for much cause a lot of the bigger plot stuff has combat focused. I also would rather āgive upā 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, canāt handle them like I did when I was youngerā¦ I also know if I go to the āinfo dumpā scenes people do, Iāll get overwhelmed and confused.
I /want/ to feel invested, I just donāt for above reasons.

Iāve 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 itās trouble throughout its history, is a pretty good example of ādoing it rightā in our hobby.
Congrats to all you Arx players and staff for doing cool stuff.

Iāve had a few weeks to sit with my thoughts, and I must say that Iām actually really grateful that this story had a concrete, definite ending. Iāve 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* Iāve been on has just sort of fizzled out like a friendship thatās run its course, but Iām really grateful that this ended up feeling story-shaped from beginning to end. Itās not an āendingā for the characters, and Iām left to tantalizing daydreams about what happened after the curtain fell, and thatās 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

@Apos So what youāre saying is itās possible. With the right persuasion.

Welcome to Nightā 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.
birdās still the word

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

Someone found their way into the Labyrinth because Kalakh accidentally wiped the traverse locks again.
They met the Hungry Figures.
They did not survive.
Everything is fine now.
