PL: The EPIC OOC XI [closed]

[Primordial Luxa]

@ALL. We'll time skip to evening soon. Prim and Slo, you might want to have your characters return to the Building to let people know about Operation: Bo Peep. The mayor will send a hunter over after the skip.

OK. I may not be able to post tonight, I'm doing work in other windows. When are you planning the skip? Tomorrow?

Also, am I correct that we can wish the new hospital floor full of anything we want*, so it could appear stocked with mundane equipment, for example? (*: Within reason, of course.) If so, it may be better to ask the healer players to specify functional desires, such as diagnostic capabilties or pediatrics wards, rather than specific pieces of gear.

If you want I can skip Prim and Amanda back to the building?

I'm assuming those mundane things will be included. My main concern is for the unorthodox healers (magic users, mostly).

We'll probably skip tomorrow. This will break up the stagnation and allow people to regroup prior to the morning's adventures.

A nice post to really kick off the adventures might be helpful so I support this.

Corrupt Reality Shards
Children Teeth
Rhino Horns
The sound of someone screaming in their sleep
Heroine or other street drugs preferable something exotic
Painite wrapped in cow guts
An artificial intelligence
Troll Guts
Volcanic Rock
Something fourth dimensional (either spatially or temporally)
Jumper cables
Pulsating Matter Hallucinations
Kittens! Preferably Black
Rotting excretion from a black hole.
Virgin Tears or Hair
Dead Bodies (Lots of them)

Only slightly serious about these feel free to ignore them.

So then is the hospital wing is going to have everything our heart desires right from the get-go?

Within reason, of course. But yes. It's a question of what our hearts should desire.

Edit: also, hospital floor, as I understand it. We've got all of the fifth floor to play with.

Well if that's the case, then Brit'll just need to inventory what's already in there. The shopping list will have to be significantly cut down after that, but I'll still need an exact list of what will be in there to go off of.

[The BranRiech]

Mmm, thought Insidious was up with Drova in the hallway. I'll wait for the timeskip I guess at this point.

I think the idea is that after we wish the hospital into existance, there won't be a need to go shopping.

Well we'll still have to inventory it all. We'll need to know what we have, how much we've used daily at times of crisis and not, and factor in days for supply runs.

@Healers: In order to get the wishlist assembled, let's just post our wishlists OOC. I'll merge them into a master wishlist OOC, then post the result IC. I'll collab the healers' meeting separately. It may have to be done after Op: Bo Peep and the Ascalon visit.

Swith posted a good starting point for functional needs IC for Neste:

"These professionals require examination rooms. We would like to expand the existing clinic's small operatory into a larger series of suites, and bays for preop and post op recovery. We need a triage space capable of handling a large influx of wounded. Perhaps a special area set aside just for pediatric cases? A pharmacy would also be appreciated. Further, we have a large tech priest population. Their treatment bay is currently crammed into small room in the maintenance corridor. This is unsanitary. Of course, we could use a nice waiting room as well."

• Diagnostic equipment at least as good as Star Trek tricorders: they just say what's wrong with the patient. He's fine with either magical or technological devices to do this.
• To go with the triage area, a proper emergency room (curtained treatment bays, house oxygen, etc)
• Specialized longer-term treatment areas:
  
  • A burn unit (there are dragons and salamanders, at least)
  • An intensive care unit (this may be merged with whatever Anais asks for, since I think they'd overlap nicely
• A small community clinic (regular doctor's office examination and treatment rooms)
• An alchemy lab, and a larger stock of raw materials for the cures he knows how to make.

Um, if you'd like us to do anything with the list, please cut it down to serious requests. Also, Sandy, Septimus, and probably most of the Building's population would veto anything to do with bodies.

You don't fuck with France

[The BranRiech]

Yuna doesn't need much for her operations, though a steady supply of herbs and such would be much appreciated by her. I know she hasn't been very active in the Healers, but I remember she was a part of them.

[Swith Witherward]

Mmm, thought Insidious was up with Drova in the hallway. I'll wait for the timeskip I guess at this point.

She is.

"See you around, Drova," Marcus sighed and sheepishly ran fingers through his hair. He considered saying more to Drova, but what was there to say? They'd worked well as a team. Maybe the spoiled prince wasn't so bad after all? "Bye, Insidious."

Prim then advanced her to get business taken care of.

Bhewehg, Kwa'a: Parked.

Thank you Swith, Agy, Prim, Carly, anyone I'm forgetting, and perhaps in particular Slobo for the limp suggestion.  Here's to rounding out Rmwtyliin into a distinct character!

Prim and Carly: Apartment description follows, in case you want to have your characters notice/do anything.

She has a two-bedroom, six-room apartment, Her room has: pale gray carpeting, blue-gray stone walls with painted emerald trim, charcoal bedding, white sheets, various woven/patterned blankets brought by Kwa'a, emerald pillow embroided with the other colors present, a emerald mesh canopy, a thick, large folded blanket in place of a mattress in the center of the room, an emerald ceiling, and motifs of cockroaches and ducks; fabrics and other materials are simple, for instance cotton, linen, and wool. Accents are mainly in shades of red.
The bathroom and kitchen are both almost entirely made up of smooth stones of various sizes and colors - wall, floor, countertops, and ceiling. In the bathroom, a two-foot-deep basin shaped like a tub and made of resin-coated "gilding metal" (95% Cu, 5% Zn), along with faucets and a shower emptying into this, is separated from a sink and toilet coated in the same by a curtain fading from emerald at the bottom to sky blue at the top. Faucets are plated, inside and out, with pure copper. The modern appliances filling most of the kitchen, similarly, are either clad in gilding metal or stone; a medium gray curtain separates off a late-Savage-Era Bomic kitchen.
The living room, which has a fireplace at its center, is circular. The floor is composed of very dark grey stone, and the walls are painted with a gradient, matching the floor's shade at the bottom and fading to almost-white at the ceiling. Chairs in styles ranging from modernly sleek to comfortably squashy, in various bright colors not including actual red, surround the perimeter, save for two exits to the outside. French gray pillows, intricately embroidered in more muted versions of these hues, serve as accents.
At the very end of the hall, behind a door with a copper knob, one finds a workshop. Like the bathroom and kitchen, walls, ceiling, and floor consist of stone; unlike these, the former two are covered with mirror-bright copper leaf. This contains a loom, a steel desk with pull-out drawers, and a forge.
The second bedroom, distinguishable by a spring green door patterned with violet and sky blue, is furnished identically to Rmwtyliin's bedroom in her own apartment, save for the ceiling, which is a stone mosaic depicting an abstract design and done in the same colors as the door.
The hallway has walls and floor painted sky blue, and a French gray carpet. Doors, orange patterned with russet and sky blue and with knobs of gilding metal over brass if not otherwise stated, lead off of it to each room. The interior side of the front door is also decorated in that manner.

Speaking of Rmwtyliin, she's getting a smidge impatient.

[Germanic Templars]

Looking at everyone else French flag, I feel as if mines is out of place if maybe a bit....

Anyway, how is everyone? Will post in a moment. Lemme just think of something first and read a few posts to try and understand the situation.

Fvaar... looks like the dining room group is dead.

If they don't post by tomorrow, we'll consider the characters permaparked: Bran, Rylli, Romy, Monfrox, Varona, Kelly, Superbia... anyone else there that I can't recall because they haven't moved in two weeks?


I know Fallout is a big thing, but

Know what? Never mind. This has been going on far longer than Fallout has been released. Romy is Ched's only character, so I won't park him. As for the rest?

IC post incoming.

I'll take that into account and spare Superbia.

[Highfort]

Isn't perma-parked the same thing as dead? Or can they come back?

Also, guys, we're gearing up for both Sheepquest and for the city visit soon. If there's a timing issue then please let us know so your character isn't included, but don't tag along and expect us to drag your character. If they sit some place, we're leaving them behind if we need to move on. And don't expect any favors from the city's inhabitants - they know our type well enough to know helping us out will most likely bite them in the ass.

Fixed that post for ya.

Most of the time, perma-parked characters gather dust but can make the occasional appearance or enter back into play. Permadead characters do not come back.

Got issues? Take it up with Cer. We aren't going to continue to beg people to post for their neglected characters. You've all had the chance to move these characters off somewhere in order to park them. None of them are supernatural, meaning they didn't vanish, and they certainly didn't physically move off like Ocho did. I'm giving Sups and Romy the benefit of the doubt, and Cer hasn't included Ogoti in any posts so I greatly suspect he vanished.

[Giovenith]

I'm a little bit confused by all this. Should I continue posting as I was?

[Swith Witherward]

I'm a little bit confused by all this. Should I continue posting as I was?

I think Giovenith is still in the lobby with Myra, Yuna, and Nick. We had some new characters arrive, and that sort of froze things up for a while, but Cer's posts seems to have gotten things back into motion.

The ones in the dining room haven't been posted for at all, or they post and then don't respond to anything.

I had posted for Mon and for Kelly earlier. If I need to park someone I told Cer I'd be happy to do it.

I have been trying to talk to you and Cer about the situation with the clinic and the hospital. Brit has not moved either because I'm trying to work out a whole clinic list about equipment but I'm trying to get that from you two. I'm sorry for not posting, but I'm trying to get things sorted out and for what I'm doing I needed your help.

All of three days ago, and Rmwtyliin's next response was mainly to Mon's chars. Speaking of your chars, Mon: I honestly hope you keep Sinyaya active. She's so adorable yet mature enough to be a participant in events rather than just fluff.

[Germanic Templars]

And with the Sparing of Superbia, I shall post tomorrow for Smith (and maybe Max).

As far as when that will be determined if I can get the simple part of my homework done for the day. Until then, night chaps.

Brit is fine. The others have been sitting there. We broke the meeting up earlier, and we had a minor (Building-affecting) event.

The elevator thing served several purposes:

1. We know who is active and paying attention.
2. We know what characters are window dressing. As I just said in the IRC, if players want to treat their characters like cardboard cutouts, then so will I.
3. We gave a character development to Drova, allowing him to prove himself to others by lending a hand when disaster struck (well done, Bran).
4. We established that the elevators were need of repair (that pertains to a later part of the story).
5. We created an opportunity for Septimus to work on his teleportation device, which is needed if the hospital wing is to work.
6. Insidious was able to interact with Deuce. That loose bond might be very helpful to her later.
7. We established that the Manager does "know all" and actively monitors Building activity (the panel on his desk).
8. We solved the mystery of how the front desk cultist is aware of things (the parakeets turn up in pockets), as well as where the apartment keys come from.
9. We gave Nick and Myra a reason to bond, which gets him back into solid play (he interacted a lot with Torii previously).
10. Players might forget where their characters are, but other players don't, especially when they bring a character to a place to interact with that character.
11. We NEED to move on (a collab is in the works) so we can advance to night. Superfluous characters serve as anchors which tie us down.
12. viewtopic.php?p=26592970#p26592970: "PERSONIFICATION LIFE - AND MANY ROLE PLAY GAMES IN P2TM - FUNCTIONS AS A TYPE OF MMORPG. IF YOUR CHARACTER SITS THERE AND DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE OR PAY ATTENTION, HE GETS LEFT BEHIND BY THE GROUP."

The characters are NOT dead. However, if people want to play them, they need to convince Cer that they're dedicated to those characters.

You might want to drop a TG to him. He may not realize that your last post for Rmw was a reply to his. It's sometimes helpful to squeeze another player's character's name in, as well as ground your own by adding location reinforcements. Minerva glanced around the dining room before making eye contact with Thaddeus. "So, about that..."
