(That’s kind of what I was thinking, @nuetrobolt)
Lance couldn’t move his body. His skull pressed against the hard plastic of the broken headrest. His shoulders pressed into the suddenly soft cushion behind him. Static crackled over speakers, but the captain didn’t speak. Lance managed to turn his head enough to look out the window. The water below was very much at the wrong angle. Pressure built up in his stomach, and Lance lost his lunch all over the (thankfully empty) seat beside him. He was going to die. They were all going to die. He pushed and shoved against the invisible force holding him into his chair. For his efforts, he started to lose his eyesight. He tried to scream, but the harder he pushed on his lungs, the more he felt like just an idea that was not necessarily attached to his body. He was about to hurl again, but he blacked out first.
((Feel free to do whatever you need to get your characters either blacked out or through the landing so that we can get started.))

@emma-starrName: Lance Fires
Physical Description:
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Height: 5′ 11″
Hair: black, short
Eyes: blue, light
Clothing: Crisp white uniform. Shined black shoes. Formal military.About: Lance is the middle child in a rich, celebrity family (reality tv show) who leaves the family gig to make his own way in life, and joins the military to head efforts in refugee relief. Also, he’s next level awkward and impressionable.
Lance yawned and slipped into his aisle seat near the back of the plane. By the time the stewardesses were droning through the safety briefing, he was drifting. When they walked by to check seatbelts and tables, he was asleep.
When the drop started and his stomach crawled into his throat, he flashed wide-eyed awake.

Fair Winds and Following Seas,
Brandon Miller -- Wesley Turner@happyholly_c Fill out the same sheet as last time since I’m sure some people will be using different characters.
@graceabounds2129, that’s a really great idea!---
Fair Winds and Following Seas,
Brandon Miller -- Wesley Turner@wordsmith, not at all. Just wish I wasn’t.
---
Fair Winds and Following Seas,
Brandon Miller -- Wesley Turner@happyholly_c ME EITHER!
@wordsmith, good call. Good call. (wish I were you lol)---
Fair Winds and Following Seas,
Brandon Miller -- Wesley TurnerSounds like you’ve been making some breakneck progress! Nice work. (Also, short story contest YEET!)
And hey, driving school sounds pretty cool! Are you a leadfoot?

Fair Winds and Following Seas,
Brandon Miller -- Wesley TurnerHELLO
I have… sort of… returned.
BUT I HAVE A DATE. (no no, not that kind of date)
Do y’all want do know a date? A date is 6/24/19. Not a day sooner. Not *fingerscrossed* a day later. On THAT date, there will be a new lounge. So get your characters ready to… be characters!
Looking forward to it!

HIWELCOME BACK
I was actually working at a jobsite for a few weeks this last month with a big silver maple storybook tree in the backyard that was home to like a thousand squirrels. Anyway, I thought of you and was like “too bad she’s not around anymore” BUT NOW YOU ARE.
That’s the point, I guess.
---
Fair Winds and Following Seas,
Brandon Miller -- Wesley Turnerthe stuff from the other guildmasters (the new discussion topics) are in hand
the idea for the next lounge had been created
now, I just need an evening to type it all out and we’re gonna get rolling---
Fair Winds and Following Seas,
Brandon Miller -- Wesley TurnerOh… I like the feel of it!
Unfortunately, that’s kind of all I’ve got is a feel. This seems like mostly just a lot of name dropping and teenaged angst. What makes your storyworld unique? What powers does the God of Manna possess that make this conflict unique/interesting? Why should I spend my time reading about this romance when there are a thousand others I could enjoy? What is an example of the “deadly traps” the synopsis alludes to?Basically, just more firm stuff and fewer generalizations would take it to the next level. (When I first read this, I thought “hey, this has a lot of fiction buzzwords” which reminded me of this entirely unrelated (but hilarious and clean) video. So yeah ignore me.)
Also, I’m intrigued about any dystopia nuanced enough that it can appear to be a utopia to some perspectives. Hurrah for that.

Fair Winds and Following Seas,
Brandon Miller -- Wesley Turner@graceabounds2129 YES. I have an idea and I’m just waiting for some (unrelated stuff) from the other guildmasters and then we’ll kick one on off!
---
Fair Winds and Following Seas,
Brandon Miller -- Wesley TurnerHey @Noahlitle, I’m gonna be a RM (I hope maybe/probably) but I my mom is tagging along for the drive and so I’m bunking with her. Hopefully we can meet up though! I’d love to meet another Emberling!
