"Momma told me to." Mathew said quietly. The young man pulled the bandana down as well as the goggles. He refused to make eye contact with either of them. "The last thing she ever said to me was run. They were gonna string me up, let the whole town see. Daddy died to protect the town and momma had his gun and shot the man holding the rope. I can't go against my momma." |

Flame said; "It's the post-apocalypse. Most people here have a monstrous side." Blue added, "So please shut up already and accept our help. A stand needs to be made." |

Flame smiled, and extended a hand. Blue smiled as well, and walked over to extend his own hand for Matthew to take. |

He weakly reached out for it, as if expecting it to bite him. |

Critique I will make this critique focusing mostly on EQ, as a lot of what I found iffy in Blues writing has been brought up in my Endy critique. There was a lot of potential here and there were many ways this could've turned out. When I first heard you guys were pairing I thought you two would be energetic writers. In my humble opinion, maybe you were too energetic, If I recall correctly you both posted rather rapidly during the rp. Which has a drawback in that you tended to make quick, short posts of no note. I would suggest that as writers, you should take the time to slow down, read and process, and think of an interesting way to engage in a situation. Matthew and Bones didn't do that much in this rp. They didn't even talk that much aside from establishing their character. I'm not saying they have to do amazing fantastic things all the time, but when you post a handful of sentences and it confuses me because I don't know what's happening or what some of the characters are doing, I think you'd need to reassess what you need to write. Matthew is a passive character in this do, furthermore, it's not even clear what happens. Have you noticed that you never once said that a guardsmen strikes Matthew? You never established that. Additionally there were several grammar mistakes. Missing quotation marks. Missing apostrophes, the usual. Which isn't really concerning me, but what does concern me is the weird parts of the rp where Matthew/Bones doesn't seem to notice that the dogs were right near him. Then when Blue and Flame points it out, he suddenly sees them. Is that a communication problem, a reading problem? I dont quite know. I also noticed that it's hard to tell when bones is saying something out loud or in his head so when Bones and Matthew start talking to Blues it blends into a mess where I can tell Bones from his voice but not from anything else. Please try to make it more clear? I mean, in character, does Matthew and Bones use different ways of speaking. Does Bones sound gruffer? How does that work? But I think these are all a symptom of this being really rushed and having no creative push in it. You set up a problem it's fixed relatively quickly and there's no playing there's no new ideas or conflicts for Matthew to do. Blue and Flame get combat and they struggle to find drugs , but Matthew doesn't really do much. My advice is to slow down and start to think of really interesting turns and directions in your next rp. Reward Music:
