Fantasy Howl's Flying Castle - OOC

That'll work.
Hmm....Maybe they need to feel their virtue to activate their virtue? Like remember why they are that specific virtue with their memories throughout the whole adventure? and then the light show with the huge dragon?
 
Do you have ghost stories about that place?
Not that I'm aware of yet.........But it does look creepy enough to get a few. I even saw a lot of cigarette buds all over the place so I wonder if a group of gangsters in there....

Is that usually like that? Lots of cigarette butts = gangsters.
 
Or it's still happening. XD
I'm reading this PDF called "On Killing" by Lt. Col. Davis, which talks about the culture of killing as a taboo thing, why men kill in general (like, kill for food), how people have this innate resistance to kill one of their own even if it's a soldier from an enemy country and the psychological effects and costs of doing like for soldiers. I'm at the beginning and it starts with this idea that our society repressing killing and making it bad is a cause of violent crimes the same way repressing sex as a dirty, secret, hidden thing we do as a cause of sexual abuse.

And the reason for that is because for some of the people who are raised that way, they cannot face up to what it is because it's shrouded in mystery, so whatever they think it is, is warped with fantasy and what's shown in the media.

Like he interviewed this gypsy who grew up living in a communal tent with her entire family. Aunts, uncles, and sex was something loud, and funny that adults did at night. It was normal. And no one could do it without the consent of everyone in the tent because everyone is just there.

Death of animals for food too was normal at that time, like in farms. Kids saw their parents killing pigs and even helped. It was a messy, boring, and normal way of life, where the people just respected the animals, killed them quickly so as not to cause them pain, and that was food for winter. Now, we don't see that. When we want meat, we go to the market and it's already there. And animal rights activist are breaking in to research facilities to destroy work because of killing mice for experiment. Or people who wear furs or eat meat are called murderers.

He goes on to say that these are usually kind hearted people who care about animals, but then he also says that they must understand that killing has it's place in the natural order of things.

Sounds very reasonable and very likely. It's a psychological thing really. It explains why people kill (because they are repressed from something.) and the nature of being repressed. Did you know that a lot of serial killers are actually gay? or have families that hate gays in general? It's really sad and they get hit for it too. I'm pretty sure if they had good families, they wouldn't turn out like that...or be crazy and loco and what not.

Wow, I didn't know that. That reminds me of this.

Yea! This guy is right! I've noticed that too with my friends. The ones with good homes don't get addicted. The ones who don't, gets addicted. It's fascinating but really sad too.

Yeah. Ima' wait for Skittle before doing anything. By the way, I finished watching The Last of Us. It was good. Like, only 4 types of enemies, but the story . . . it really is the story that's hands down wow . . . It made me renew my perspective in making the dice system for that zombie RP, like, make it so that the purpose of the randomness and difficulty contributes to character development. I added stuff like AP actions to make alliances and perks you can get from allies depending on your relationship with them. I also reduced the crafting to make it simpler.

Good idea!! and yea, the last of us is a solid game when it comes to storylines. I love it! Have you ever seen/played Telltale's the walking dead? That's really good too.
