A Harbour for Weary Souls (OOC, Open)

[Ridderli]

waiting for a post from bretten to dump mine

And I'm in turn waiting for Kiu's post, since we decided our characters will be meeting up.

Sounds like a plan, you three.

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

And, done.

Lookin' good.

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

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

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.

Looking forward to it! : D

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.

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.

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?

I can edit it and have Alastair be there on occasion via FaceTime. What's the local time in Ridderli?

Shortly after 6 in the morning according to the OP.

I meant like in relation to cities like London...I should have specified that. Oops. My bad.

Addendum: I of posted.

You've just made me realize that I have no idea what a Brettain accent would actually sound like.

[Ezhara]

If I can get in in time, Abetton's twins conveniently align slightly with Schneider, who's a Talent-Artist because I needed more of them so lol. Rest assured he wouldn't give anything violent, but he is an artist. This leaves Eiko and Kasem on their date beach episode, and AHSCA will get Jacob and Daniel. Merely a matter of me finally manufacturing the bloody thing... Hopefully, this'll help keep down the expenditures on the host, though I'm not sure if it is necessary.

Schneider Kleinicke is a 15-year-old Ezharan Talent-Artist known for the scar over his cheek and blind eye. Of his other physical traits, he is of above-average stature and has messy blonde hair with brown eyes. He has an interest in guns.
His art style has been described as "violent" and "worrisome for a minor," but nonetheless has received vast praise for his work’s visceral horror and incredible level of detail, with his topics usually revolving around the familiar looked at from an unfamiliar angle. Although he is also known for his forays into singing and, peculiarly among Ezharans, phonograph records, he has claimed that both serve as merely extensions of his audiophile interests. Still, he often does live streams where he sings and sketches, with the eventual lineart, coloring, and shading phases of the latter often becoming the music videos for his own covers.

For those who know him, Schneider vacillates between a tough, standoffish personality and an easily-melted sentimentality, which he has no fear of expressing. He has hundreds of candid photos of his friends stored on a hard drive, and puts great effort into remembering their birthdays and favorites. So too does he remember any slights against him or them, necessitating the more optimistic of his friends to keep his lack of trust in check, although more often than not, it consists of jokes that fluster him — the iconic work of Talent-CompSci Maria, who delights in how easily he is humiliated in all matters romantic.

His sentimentality and grim art, though, did not arise from the most fortunate of circumstances; at the age of seven, his home had been invaded by organized crime, leading to the deaths of his parents, his current scars, and his life with his uncle. While the leaders thereof had long since been arrested, Schneider knows that they have a son, somewhere in the city of Odona, whose bloodline has been hidden.
Despite his piety, which had given him a sense of vitality after the loss of his parents, Schneider believes that he, and he alone, is the only one who can be entrusted with vengeance. He does not know what he will do when he finds the son, but he knows that it will be something like his horror, that it will make his murderous parents feel some ounce of what happened that fateful day for Schneider.

my post will be a bit coming since bretten is occupied and i honestly have no clue where to put patyu until he introduces raya to the scene lol

If it helps, a WFian accent sounds like a cross between German and pirate.

Knowing now, that you mean time zone wise in relation to where Alastair is, I must admit, that I didn't think of it. You might leave it as unspecified or you can put in whichever time you want. It's 6 o'clock a.m. in Ridderli.

my post will be a bit coming since bretten is occupied and i honestly have no clue where to put patyu until he introduces raya to the scene lol

I know, what you mean... We won't leave you behind, promise.
EDIT: Maybe a post of Patyu waiting for Raya? ; )

I'm imagining Brettain as a kind of "Viking meets Southwest German redneck" sound.

Excellent I can have the Christopher twins meet up.

Given that it's early morning, maybe Patyu woke up first, and went to walk around the ship? Though I understand if you don't know where to take it from there.

I never had the makings of a varsity athlete in the first place, so... can't relate.

Thank you. Which question? If it's the images, they're only linked since this is a new account and I can't post pictures directly.
