Kinesthetic? Like... Movement? And tbh my sister and I were talking - there's pretty much a diagnosis for everything. Like, you don't spell right, you've got dyslexia. But it's like autism - there's a spectrum - only (and I'm not saying any of us here do it) some people wave the label around like a flag and it discredits a lot of people who really do have problems. Like, dyslexia runs in my family but it's a lot stronger in my sister who literally looks at a page and can't see words, they just dribble around the book unless she gets a ruler and coloured pen to separate each line etc. However, she's really smart and studies psychology at university - she just gets things like extra time and special computer equipment and such to help her. Then there was a girl at school who faked dyspraxia because she wanted those extra things and then claimed to 'have overcome her disabilities' within the course of a year. I admit, I find it all really interesting - how people learn. It's so intrinsically connected to our social psychology and cognitive capacities and it's quite fascinating to have that diversity in our species. I trained myself (with the aide of good teachers) to auto correct myself when I read. I hardly notice my dyslexia now days even though it does screw me up once in a while. My father can barely read because of his dyslexia and not having the same help I had.

Wait, I'm confused what'd I do? I mean I learn by doing, not hearing, or watching.
Also, on the subject of additions, I'm really sorry. I just haven't had any time to write or plan. All my home times is invested in other things at the moment and I don't have the freedom to think of story stuff while I'm still learning at work. I go onto the floor next week though and I'll have significantly more time to do everything. Please be patient with me. I'm sorry.

What would you like to be refreshed on?
Also, remind me to message you. As you're handling one of the villains in this story, I was wondering what sorts of dastardly deeds we could have her get up to in order to stop our group. You know, besides Aeon.

Oh sorry, just basically any new developments you've come up with since my near disappearance. I'm planning on working on both this and Fall the God throughout the rest of the week. Technically it'll be tomorrow and friday, bu you get my drift. I get off at noon now and don't have as much to worry about so I can finally get back to writing.
I just need a quick push to get me started on my add. Once I get on a roll it'll fall into place.

perhaps get involved with an investigation of illegal slave trafficking? Slavery is legal in the area but the right permits and licensing has to be maintained. other than that i'm not sure what else

And there's the whole conversation with Rei you could play off of, too. The one where she suggests the Gods sometimes have to shape themselves to their believers. I know Aeon gets hired on to Embry's mission as a guard (once Embry gets the map), so perhaps he actually has a relationship with Embry in some way? An interest in esoterica?

Well his only real interest is in magic and boning a Goddess but he does like people so it depends really on how they meet. The conversation with Rei will likely happen and I'll need your help with that.

How do you plan on Aeon finding Rei again? And Embry probably searches for magickal stuff, too...

Pssh, please.
Had made plans, just forgot what day was what for a bit. Plans succeeded. Only issue is that I didn't get to plan and plot like I was hoping.

Mmm sushi.
Also, sorry again for the delay on this. Molly's grandma on her mom's side gave us sort of a surprise visit yesterday and didn't get home till like 8:30 then we all watched a movie and I was wiped. UGH, I wanted to write too. Actually I wanted to be able to be on here most of the day and then write but you get my drift.
