Sending achorono tesm to the two locations. Coordination is a good thing. They could pull up the history of the graveyard for instance

That was my plan originally. I was going to send them to the aftermath of the site where Chong killed the dragon, but other RPers posted that first, and as stated previously, wasn't sure if I would have had the green light, in case my post overwrote what you all had planned. Ya dig?

Take over for a bit with the RP. I'm not finding a good way to make a post that makes sense. Plus, you didn't give me any info as far as your plans. So you all can continue meanwhile until I get a better fix on how it works.

The Chrono team might make it to the Dragon Reservation before the others. Remember, it's a huge place, so all three teams (the Ministry of Magic Team, Stripetail's dragons, and the Chrono team) may not meet immediately.

That's just it. With all that is going on, I'm saying that it's a hard entry. Also didn't get answers to my questions about the RP, so I'm unable to continue without them.

My apologies for not being more specific with my ideas. Part of that is because I leave the other peers the freedom to do stuff with their characters.
Now as for my plans for this arc they are as follows:
Chong has gained access to a mutagen that has the ability to reanimate the dead. Think like something out of the zombie DLC for Red Dead Redemption, except the revived were very powerful witches and wizards in  life and retain, at the least a good deal of their former intelligence. That would be bad to put it mildly. And Chong is creating a literal army.

 Now as the arc goes on, Chong Voldemort and their forces will inexorably spread out over Pottermore, making things extremely difficult for our characters.  To stop them and destroy Chong- will take the abilities of everyone present. For example the forces you possess might have the ability to get us out of trouble my manipulating times for a few minutes. Think like the time rewinding in Prince of Persia, Dragon time in the Legend of Spyro games, or time bombs in Ratchet and Clsnk
Given that Chong had previously served in the Time Wars, a number of face to face meetups will occur with your characters. Chong remembers the wars and not fondly.
I do apologize for my lack of posting. I’ve been dealing with a personal issue- I have been diagnosed with a heart murmur and will be undergoing surgery to correct it. When that will be I don’t know yet, nor do I know when I will be able to go home from the hospital. When I do know more I will let you know

You're good on taking a backseat. Real life comes before anything virtual, after all. Especially health. I just wasn't sure where you were aiming this thing. It's a years-long RP, and it seems my arrival has caused it to speed up (which is good). I was actually going to write a solo post investigating one of Chong's sites, but I think that dipping into what you and Serris have going on would be better and make more sense. As for my mental picture of the RP, I was thinking, since Chong is a big bad in every sense, and can even access spacetime, it would be an 'epic genre'--think grand scale. Lord of the Rings, modern Call of Duty games. Things happening at the same time or one after another in different areas. Killing a dragon in Pottermore, while he dips off to another world/dimension/setting to do more bad guy things. Etc. You feel me?

Definitely. Bad guy stuff happening all over. I’m a huge LOTR nut, so epic, simultaneous attacks by bad guys working with or for Chong all over the place would make perfect sense. Tachyon attacking Ratchets galaxy. Kai’s attacking Skylands. We could even have Lord Zeus or Rita Repulsa cameos. Entirely up to you. In short, crsp be going down

While I'm not sure what "crsp" is (might be some zoomer/gen alpha slang?), I'm wondering why the RP has gone on for as long as it has in the first place. The previous ICs were shorter.

Several reasons. Firstly, the previous ones had more posters consistently posting. Thusly the stories moved quicker. Second, the stories got progressively longer based on the ideas we had for them.  In this one, having adventures in space

hi guys. so i have a date for my heart surgery- Nov 11th. the surgery will be in the morning, take roughly 4 hours or so, and i will be in the hospital for somewhere between 3 and 5 days. full recovery from the surgery will be 4 to 6 weeks. doctor says my prognosis is good, he expects a full recovery and the odds i would need to replace the valve are low.
