Out of Character Chat

@DaughterofAthena


I was sort of hoping there was more to work with after my last turn. The only things I can really think of is:


1.Abandoning the girl due to a lack of resolve


2. Brute forcing the situation as a precaution for the girl, which is something I can see my character doing. Although I'm not sure what would be appropriate since I don't know yumi's parameters nor do I want to gm.

Well, your post was a whopping two paragraphs. There's only so much I can do in response to that especially seeing as there are things I don't want to reveal unless forced to.
That being said, I have a few things for you to consider. Rei really has no reason to believe Yumi is bad. Rei knows absolutely nothing about Abigail either aside from the fact that she was running. She could've stabbed a man for all Rei knows. In fact, she could've stabbed a man for all any character within the rp knows. Unless your character has some sort of deep desire to protect children, it really does not make sense to attack Yumi with as little as Rei knows.


Edit: I can't stop you from attacking her, but that seems very very illogical.

I don't think a whopping 2 paragraphs of inner monologue attached to the post would do much to enhance the post in order to give you or anyone else anything to do. I also don't believe in doing a ton of things solo. For instance I also imagined running around the back of the shop , breaking and entering and pulling the girl out from the back. All while never interacting with you in the pursuit of long posts with nothing but single player fluff. Sure I could I wrote a fanfiction's chapter worth of stuff detailing my arrival, failures to do anything productive and an inner monologue and solo dialogue concerning the anxiety my character is facing. But I'm not writing a fanfiction, I'm roleplaying in a group with other active people.


I figured these worries I'm planning on having my character having, would be best said through character interactions. Not fan fiction solo scenarios which have nothing to do with the overall flow of the roleplay. I'm fine with just throwing a smoke bomb down and either suceeding or getting into a fight with yumi,but I figured you'd do more.


I had her make a clicking noise similar to a pistol being cocked,but it's just a bluff. I do have plenty to read into, it was a scared little girl running from an apathetic woman wielding a blade which is probably too big for her. The girl is crying and the woman is unphased, like a cat toying with its cornered mouse. My character is cautious,but also inconsistent and a bit irrational. Sticking her nose into the business of other people(on an Island of pirates no less). Hell I could have easily switch sides or perhaps bought a lie if your character wasn't intent on going around in circles when she's clearly the visible aggressor here.


So it's a bit rash to jump to conclusions,but everything was logical based off the set up. Armed woman, chasing a little girl who's crying. Foolhardy woman whose prone to stick her nose into a hornet's nest comes across the situation and prepares for the worst case scenario. Hell she didn't even make a move for fear of what the tiny girl could do,but she's being irrational.


I'm just sitting here, the person who probed you multiple times in an attempt to collaborate and come up with something and am blamed for having a short post. No offense to all the funny posts I read, but half of them were women beating up men in a bar and doing things on their own, couple with extensive monologue. If that's what you want, I'll just bypass yumi and pretend she's not a factor.
 
So I made a boo boo and started posting in an rp situation made for someone else. She's just looking for a crew so she can chase her father figure who is presumably on the grand line also looking for one piece. Can I join someone's crew? I'll do the rp planning footwork to make the meeting happen, but I just need someone to roleplay with at this point.

The situation with Yumi was not and is not a situation designed for any one player. It's a huge part of the main plot that will be taking place. Because of that, it is supposed to and hopefully will have multiple players involved. Thus patience are necessary to be involved in it. You're welcome to have Rei leave as Yumi suggested, but I hope you don't feel it is because the situation wasn't designed for you. Yumi chasing Abigail is a plot point in and of itself and no one player is central to it.

I just want to play at this point. If it's a central plot point that's going to be fun and involve everyone,I'll gladly be apart of it. But as of now,I'd like to start playing and it was a mistake to approach the gm for a starting point. I know that you have to involve everyone in stuff and I'd rather join a regular player's crew.

All three crews are lead by GMs. There is no such thing as a 'regular player's crew'.

But you're the founding GM and specifically mentioned being a gm. Which was my cue to roleplay with someone else because you've got a lot on on your plate. I don't understand why you're correcting me when I am still at the mercy of another person wanting to take on a new variable. So I'm stuck either way.
 
@Bacon is fluffy @DaughterofAthena I don't really want to partake in your conversation, but it seems to me like some IRL frustrations are affecting the way you write. I really didn't like reading it. If you have some issues, could you please take them to PM? Thanks in advance.


@vergil I loved your post, but I believe it was mentioned somewhere that the time is still long before sunset. You said them whether they were allowed to stay out late, so maybe you can adjust it, or not. You can choose for yourself.

The first part has already been dealt with.


And for the second I believe the time is around early or mid afternoon.
 
Rena has been busy doing research at the library before this and figured it had been a couple of hours, hence why is evening in her post. This was before the sunset time frame for the thief mission.


No biggie though I can edit to have it late afternoon, just ignore the weather descriptions in the previous posts.
 
The collab is finally done. From now on Mitch and I will do some regular posting, until the next collab comes up...


@Sunbather I used the color you wanted, but it is terribly difficult to read. You sure you want to use it?

I never agreed to this D:.


But that's fine with me ^-^
 
@DaughterofAthena, provided on whether Abigail has been intercepted or not by the time Mal finishes with Rena and Kibto, or if no one else has by that point, I'd like to have Mal rescue Abigail, if that's okay with you.

You have no idea how interesting that would actually be!


Let me know when/if you are ready for something like that.
