"Order" is such a misleading word. For us, it usually means PIZZA PARTY WOOHOO!

AM I THE ONLY ONE who no longer has an effin' clue what's going on in the main Gaia storyline?

I remember Overseer and Sen being on the ship with Gino, then it crashing, and there was some kind of gay mechanic or something, and Brennivin and Edmund are doing something together and Brennivin keeps saying weird hilarious things in his oh-so-charming Norwegian-Swedish-Danish-Otherwise Germanic way, and Zhivago is trying to kill Gino and is in cahoots with the EVIL CRAZY DARK ELVES (called it months before it happened - see the RP event! >D) and stuff...

But honestly, does any of it seem at all relevant any more? They're devoting so much time and so many resources to this gigantic story arc that, for me, lost the point and plot ages ago.

And believe me, I know how it feels to have a massive story arc lose the plot and point after months of time and effort. (See the RP event... or don't. Please don't. Just let me forget...)

How does everyone else feel about it all?

I think I've been following enough to understand the gist of it. Maybe I can fill in the plot points you might've missed by a event-by-event summary:

-After Sen and Overseer lost their powers, they built a ship during one of the christmas events. When they gained enough resources to lift off, Gino stowed away and became their "navigator" on their quest to restore their powers
-As they flew off to parts unknown, Gino's father was assassinated by Zhivago on the dark elf's orders
-Edmund set off to find Gino to a) tell him the bad news and b) ensure he doesn't meet the same fate.
-Gino, Sen and Overseer stops by Brennivin's for much-needed makeovers, during which time Brennivin asks Ladyhands to do some repair work on the trio's ship. They depart before Ladyhands finishes, which is why he's with them now.
-After they left, Edmund asks Brennivin if he had seen Gino recently. After he confirmed that they were just there, Brennivin offers to take Edmund on his ship to catch up with them. (during this, they run into the demigod that prompted the summer Frontier Skies event)
-Meanwhile, the dark elf hires Nicolae and that other jerk-ish captain that I don't remember the name of to hunt down Gino, while still having Zhivago hunting for the same target.
-Sen/Overseer decide to seek out some old demigods they used to know in the hopes that they can help restore their powers, which brings them to the city they're in now.
-Their pursuers are converging on the city, but Edmund and Brennivin also tracked them there and appear to have caught up with them.

From here... we'll see what happens.

I hope that cleared some of the confuzzles.

Helpful as ever, thanks Red! Your little summary does help put things into order... but doesn't really change the fact that the story is still trundling down a long and incoherent path, if you ask me!

More confusing than trying to read the entirety of War and Peace when you skip every other page?
