A Harbour for Weary Souls (OOC, Open)

[Cartoonia]

Everyone - today is IC-Day! Let's have some fun, everyone!

And posted! I’ll edit my post later since I am on my mobile device. I also added a thing where I plan for my ship to be up close at a safe distance to provide passengers a seat for the Chokana-Kata demonstration, if of course that is alright with you?

@Brettenwald:

Would be interesting if the two Imperial Yachts (yours and mine) had a race to get there. Basically, Lucía would see Helena's post on Pruch, and challenge her to a race. The Corona II has the superior speed, thanks to her gas turbines, but the Grace and Glory is much further ahead of her, so both ships arrive at the exact same time (don't worry, they'll drop down to 10 knots before entering Ridderli). Of course, since the RP starts with everybody at the harbor, all of this would be written in the past tense.

What do you think?

Notes: He is in recovery from major surgery and is greatly immunocompromised, but is here because why not. (Don't actually kill him.) Also, anyone who offers him alcohol should probably be investigated by one-eyed parrots. (He did get vaxxed before his surgery.)

My apologies, WFS, but I sadly can't accept Alastair - Rule 4.2.. The rest would be fine, but I am afraid, that he falls under the category of "high ranking government or military officials."

OOC-section
Notes: With regards to ship security since smh this is the Kaiserin's own yacht after all is it possible to let me have a 8-12 person security team that won't depart the ship?

Gladly accepted, welcome aboard.
The security team is alright, as long as they stay aboard. As for Broodeheim and disability-friendlyness, it is, both by geography and by design (ramps, lifts and if both don't work, strapping young gentlemen, who would carry her on her wheelchair ; )). Though, question, are the two of them witches?

He doesn't actually rule, but I understand. They can always video call him!

I think I'll stick with the old picture of Z, then.

And now it's time for me to be brave and try to write something lol.

EDIT: Might have to wait until this evening to get started.

[Western Fardelshufflestein]

Where should my characters be at the start?

[Brettenwald]

@Brettenwald:

Would be interesting if the two Imperial Yachts (yours and mine) had a race to get there. Basically, Lucía would see Helena's post on Pruch, and challenge her to a race.

Of course, since the RP starts with everybody at the harbor, all of this would be written in the past tense.

What do you think?

Eh, think I'll pass. BTW I was going to have the ladies start off walking around the harbor to see what everyone else rolled up in, so if you want Lucia to meet them that way I'm down.

[Foxfound]

Where should my characters be at the start?

I'm not sure about that either.

[AHSCA]

Where should my characters be at the start?

I'm not sure about that either.

While I'm not the OP but general experience of mine is just start your characters out in the harbor, going about seeing the sights and await Ridderli to post at you. Alternatively you can run into someone else like me for example if you desire, I'm still writing up my first post.

[Ezhara]

On which note, if anyone wants to drop an interaction claim on Schneider/Maria or Jacob/Daniel so Selkie doesn't have to type for 12 different people, do say. :P

That would be acceptable. Do you want to edit the app or...?

Looking forward to it! : D

Basically what AHSCA said - you can have all your characters and ships in the harbour, walking around and seeing the sights, maybe catch a breakfast at the stall Sunna is having hers, maybe notice the Kyrenaian Couple with the oddly familiar looking woman (who your characters could swear they saw on the news a lot as of late, but you can't put your finger on it) giving walkies to a large dog, or they disembark from their own ships or something like that.
Or you could do it like AHSCA and Ezhara and arrange for your people to interact (which is awesome, thanks! : )).
Your options are limitless.

Everyone - today is IC-Day! Let's have some fun, everyone!

And posted! I’ll edit my post later since I am on my mobile device. I also added a thing where I plan for my ship to be up close at a safe distance to provide passengers a seat for the Chokana-Kata demonstration, if of course that is alright with you?

The driving out to see the match is alright.
Though, question, could you please edit your post so that the ship is already in the harbour? Maybe have the first part as an interaction while underway?

Awesome. I just edited my post to do so.

Sure, I could have the Corona II pull up a few minutes after their ship, and Lucía and Ari would disembark right as Helena and the others were walking by.

First post coming later today. It's about 50 % complete.

[Ridderli]

Good morning, everyone - my liking of the posts continues. : D
Question, NVI: As we previously established, Amy is travelling with Gerald and a lot of other people aboard the Spirit. Would you mind, if I were to write in her introduction post how she wakes up snuggled up next to him?
Nothing too explicit, or explicit at all for that matter, and not that they did anything explicit during the last night (unless you want that to have happened), but... yeah, just a relaxing morning snuggled up.
