Okay. I'll get the collab finished and ready. Sorry, had a delay yesterday and plans today that stalled me. I'll send it in at least an hour or so.

Post will be up soon, but something just occurred to me...


You ever notice how in most RPs, there seems to be this unspoken rule that when it comes to children, whoever plays the mother also gets to create and play the child?

It's been that way in every single RP I've ever been, this one included.

Hmmm...
"These are just weak, playful examples," Giovenith said. "They won't work very well for weaponry. As we currently stand, our biggest challenge is finding enough obsidian to do this in the first place."

What if we weren't to time skip at all? What if we used the winter to go to the volcanic area in order to procure obsidian?

If things keep the pace they are now (very slow) I might not need to even take a break.
I'm fine with you all heading out for obsidian but i'm worried about time stuff so perhaps a quick discussion on how long it might take and what the post schedule with look like would be appreciated.

I like that idea of going to the volcano, means we don't have to waste posts going to and from the building. And means this is essentially a side quest to the Varg Quest.

Btw will post sometime tonight.

That would be a good starting point.

I see pros and cons of going rock-hunting, both IC and OOC.

IC, Sandy would want to go there simply because it's there. But he'd want to know how long a trip it is and if we have the right equipment for it. (Also, are we planning on leaving for Alessio from Hammerfall or returning to the Building first?)

He'd appreciate having weapons for Pegasus -- he'll clarify what he means when he replies to Gio -- but he'd would want to know if Maghrl, Romy, and whoever else is using hand weapons would want to switch from familiar weapons to unfamiliar ones for a battle in which failure is not an option™. Sandy wouldn't think of questioning Gio's certaintly that blessed obsidian weapons will work, but if the ones we have will work as well -- in both senses, of "in addition" and "equally well" -- Sandy wouldn't object to Maghrl et al wanting to skip the the trip. Unless Gio strongly prefers us to use her sacred weapons, in which case, Sandy would get nervous about inter-pantheon conflicts he doesn't understand. (The IC doesn't read that way, but polite suggestion hasn't yet come to push, much less to shove.)

OOC...

If we're heading to Alessio, there's a bit of worldbuilding I need to finish, and some story for Sandy I need to think up, get blessed by Cer, and write. Things Agy has kicked around about the journey to Alessio (at least from Ascalon) add a certain irony to the trip, :) but those can always be changed and/or handwaved away.

There's stories I can set in motion during the skip that I'd have to wait on if we don't skip, and this looks like it might be valuable as well:
Swith Witherward wrote:THIS WINTER... Marcus spent time in the town library hunting down information specific to Gallimaufry Mundi and Varg rather than just going by what other dimensions have to say about dragons and litches. [...] Now I'm waiting on Cer to tell us what Marcus learned.

I imagine we'd get the same information eventually if we don't skip, but getting it while we're still at home allows us more opportunities to act on it.

But on the other hand, MOAR KWESTIN is always fun.

Gotcha, although as a suggestion I've found NS to not eat much data at all if I avoid frequent checking (although this wasn't exactly roaming) and composing posts offline also seems to help, if you have a word or memo app. Enjoy what I assume is a trip!
Come to the light side.  We have teamwork, waffles, popcorn, grape juice, and way too much ramen.

Unless one is a genealogist, therapist, geneticist, or FBI agent - who is acting within the scope of their job - to claim that anyone is wrong about their own identity is not merely absurd but also extremely rude.

Maghrl would definitely prefer using his own weapons, as he sees a lightsaber more as a tool than a proper weapon, like many Jedi do. It has more utility than just as a weapon, and is a marker of a Jedi.

Though if his sabers wouldn't do as well as obsidian would, he'd use that if there's no other choice.

Also as a squib if he's offered to go help collect things he would just so he could keep bits of it for himself :p

The grumpy voice o' god...

  • A side quest isn't a problem provided players post at least once in a 48 hour period. We can't stall any more because Varg kicks off a major plot which will draw us all together as a team.

  • Alessio has a market set up by Agy. However, the obsidian and creatures outside the market are Mine to manage, and it is likely that we won't reach the market during this trip... this is primarily for time constraints. We can't fuck around with minor things any longer.

  • Players that responded with strengths/weaknesses:
    Swith
    NA
    Prim
    Min
    Gio
    Ched

  • Characters dropped from Serendipity: Lucius, Vroo, possibly Opa (finals meant player had no time). Dropped characters means we have to stop at the Building. No prob. [Yep, I forgot to do a writeup for Vroo. Lovely. - Swith]

  • Time... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not try to nail down a time frame. No. We can't do this with a group this fluid. They may be gone a day. They may be gone a month. It doesn't matter. This is a game mechanic thing, and it's better if it remained wonky and undefined.

  • Character Dev shit: do it while waltzing around main stories. Amanda, Neste and Sep, Kale, whatever... I don't give a fuck what they do provided it doesn't detract from the overarching plot.
    - Kale needs to sort herself. It's been only four days and, considering how extremely distraught and withdrawn she was over the "horror" (and her vow to not use magic etc), she should still be shaken up.
    - Amanda has business with the city but the city can't be tailored to one character goal. We need the city to be functional as a gaming zone. If the crime cuts down on player ability to access vital supplies, we'll need to adjust the city. So I don't care what is done with the Judge and the Uppers. The rest of it needs to be as open and friendly as any major city (tho magic remains frowned upon). It is the only place on the planet with tech higher than MT.
    - I was going to bitch about the EDD [Evil Diplomatic Duo] until I found my notes. Encapsulated story is encapsulated. Klaus will arrange transport out for Sep and Nes.

  • Serendipity: your weapons won't do shit against Varg. You need the obsidian.

  • Carnival: wrap it up this weekend. Characters might want to go find Minerva so they can raid the food supplies to add to Building stores.

  • Poem and Book. Gio, when you get a chance and once people are back from the colony, can you have Giovenith discover the poem and book Willow had in his possession? Perhaps other players can get involved in it while Willow and Rache are out. That would aid the story.

Sterling and i think GT's character have been stalled by TNEL's lack of posting, they were going to go help Minerva anyway :p

And yeah, Mag will go along to help get Obsidian if its not all of them going on that. Though, are we still going to do the until end of winter timeskip later? all the learning and stuff might be helpful, especially if someone can help Mag learn proper diction, or at least better diction.

Sandy's strengths and weaknesses

  • A solid support spellcaster
  • A shapeshifter, too
  • Also an alchemist
  • Senses magic
  • A trained hand-to-hand fighter
  • Clever and resourceful
  • Has this handy alter ego, Pegasus
    • ...who's is a strong flier
    • ...and a strong fighter
    • ...with good senses, as horses do
    • ...and also has an awesome ability to sense and analyze magic, possibly enough to help unravel Varg's unlife
However...
  • Doesn't have any magic to directly harm opponents
  • Alchemy requires access to proper ingredients and equipment, likely rendering it moot
  • Fighting style is unique, he's not the best trained, and he's never fought in groups before.
  • Curious enough to be easily side-tracked in new settings.
  • Prefers to fly, given half a chance
    • ...but Pegasus isn't a trained fighter
    • ...nor can he speak
    • ...and he's about as stealthy as a helicopter
    • ...and may attract attention besides

We're looking at a 48-hour posting schedule. So people can post daily, or every other day. If that works for you, sure!
