Teatime Chats

Just not sure what I am going to write. I don't really have a direction to point myself in, and I don't want to wax and wane poetic about nothing just to take up space. It's really okay if you skip over me for the time being, I think the most important thing is probably getting Evalyn there.

Hmm, as far as I can see, you can officially move Dahlia to take her seat at the banquet. There she can either conduct shenanigans of her own, or speak to the two other characters currently 'officially' present there: ParadoxalPaladin ParadoxalPaladin 's Asuran Dorix or my Helbrecht.

There is no hurry in this, and you do not 'take up space' by interacting with others. Go have Dahlia make new friends! That'll make it so much more fun later on when everybody dies!
 
Syrenrei Syrenrei - alternatively, you can also try to have Dahlia allow Peppermint Patty Peppermint Patty 's Chantie Basura to pass the guards and enter the banquet. Throw your political weight around by terrorizing hapless guards that probably have to spend an extremely long day of hard work just to feed their ill wives, sons and daughters!
 
Asuran is actually across the table and three seats to the right of Dahlia, so I don't think that unless she wants to shout she could hold a conversation, plus she's trying for Tristan's sake to be proper and good so as to not make a terrible breach of etiquette that would tarnish Greedo's reputation. (At least for now.)

I appreciate the thought, but I'll at least wait for Blue to post for Tristan since I think it was planned for him to pull in Chantie- plus Chantie invoked Tristan's name to the guards specifically.

I'm not trying to shirk interactions, I just don't see anything meaningful I can do to contribute to the overall plot with Dahlia and/or in this scene. I know there are a lot of important plotting undercurrents going on (Helbrecht and his lady, Evalyn and all her suitors, the mystery of Marine, etc.) and I don't want to stall that while I putz around figuring what I want to do. Everyone has plans and I really don't want to hinder that. =)

Right now I sort of feel like I'm writing an NPC and I need to, for my own sake, figure out how to get out of that, and I don't want everything to stall again while this plagues me.

(Also I think you're on Discord, Unwavering Knight, you can catch me there because I use it for all my communications for my other RP on this site, a game website I play on, my WoW guild, and RL friend group, so it might be easier to find me there if you have more brainstorming or want to chat.)
 
Sorry, currently writing a character to join the Greedo entourage and help out with the Chantie situation. Pretty sure that bringing such a large group of technically uninvited people to such an event is a breach of etiquette, but their princess was almost killed so *shrug*. Deal with it, King Regis!

Pretzel Heart Pretzel Heart Question, if I were to create another character, would I also have to post for them every cycle, even if they aren't technically that important to the event as a whole?

Also, I'll definitely try to get in a post by the end of this week.
 
Syrenrei Syrenrei For a second, I was scared that I messed up, but are you teasing me?? lol

Tristan is up. Kalen will be next to give some attention to the curious person(?) in full armor. Will also rush to get Chantie in somehow. Not sure which will come first.
 
I am pretty sure IC no one knows what actually made Dahlia sick, only she and Tristan (and maybe King Regis, I can't remember) do. But it's okay. I am pretty sure people OOC have suspicions... and I don't think it's really going to affect anything. The story is taking place exclusively in Euthalia, so Greedo politics and shenanigans don't really impact anyone besides us.

O _ O Wait, but I'm pretty sure that Dahlia's entire backstory is available for viewing in the character reserves? I wasn't aware that this was an OOC secret too D:

EDIT: Okay, I was confused for a second there, but I think I just have to be careful not to have Tristan say anything IC. Not sure if Regis knows but he can probably just operate under the assumption that Greedo is getting a little bolder or smth...

I'd have to check my profile, but I think I left things kinda vague in the history as to what exactly happened leading up to her being shipped off to Euthalia. I mean, she hasn't even been totally forthcoming with Tristan (she knows more than she's told him or their parents). We can operate with King Regis knowing that it wasn't just a simple illness, on account of them needing to treat her, but not knowing all the details. =D
 
hosaki hosaki - Oh, you're right, it's in there what she did. I probably should have edited it out! But no one knows that she wasn't the intended target. =)
 
Oh boy I was not getting notes for this.
Also full disclosure I'm actually in the process of moving this week which I was neither happy about nor prepared for so it's been a bit crazy...also wanting to see my friends for the last time ; e ; ) so admittedly I've been dropping the ball on RP. Well my next post is about 80% done just struggling to edit it so...maybe tonight we'll get there. xD

hosaki hosaki You can create a loose sort of character like I did with Vladimir. He won't be getting his own posts, persay (unless plot calls for it), but he's important enough that I wanted peeps to know who he is. You can use that as a looser template if you'd like, or even use the NPC template and we can add them there. I'll never say no to more characters. :3

Syrenrei Syrenrei I'm sorry that you feel left out ; e; if you want I'll brainstorm some ideas and we can chat over Discord over the next few days? Or if it's something you feel like you have to figure out for yourself that's fine, too. I'm still kind of opting for a slower pace until we're back in the swing of things and also once I clean up the threads a bit more I'll be inviting new peeps. So that might mix up the story as well. But also for the sake of any potential newcomer I'm not too worried about steamrolling ahead atm.

Other than the fact I really want to get these damn posts I've been working on up already xD
 
Kuk post is kuk but it's late I'm getting a headache and I just needed it out and done it was killing me will probably pass through another edit tomorrow when no one cares but yolo

@theglassangel I tried to write it in a way where you could respond to Rosa if you have the time but otherwise we all kinda know where she is. But lemme know if you want anything changed. Was gonna message you but this week has been this week.

After two years we finally got Klaus and Luciano to the Banquet I need some kind of ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED trophy I swear
 
Oh yeah and whoever wins is supposed to find happiness for the rest of their life (cue tmz style expose "where are they now" and they're not happy)

Also apparently this is the 666 post so this is officially cursed

Spooky...

Not really a secret...more like, I'd like to leave it open-ended for now. The prize changes every year. But everyone would know that there is some kind of prize and it's probably pretty dope.

Also suggestions are welcome. :3

Is it open-ended in the sense that the players winning it may choose something that they believe would help their characters best?

Ooh...that's an interesting idea. I rather like that.
My thoughts were more like...for things that are happening later into the RP, we want to try and keep it as open-ended as possible. Though we have a basic structure that will be followed, of course the fun of RP is seeing how others' ideas and interactions change things along the way. So if I say something concrete now, I may just be kuking myself if something better comes along, or the idea needs to be changed.

But for a while I was considering making it something flashy that would give a higher motivation to win...but I think that ultimately I won't go down that route. For one the idea I had might be too breaky, and I think people who are now at a disadvantage (ie: dance score of 1-2) might feel upset if I retroactively raised the stakes (even though I think there are enough provisions that even someone starting at the bottom now could still win if they plan their cards right). Also I don't want it to become like a false symbol. Like Cendrillion itself, the Ball competition is more an excuse for the politics to play. So it might not be a good idea if people focus too heavily on that like Luciano will. I want them to focus just heavily enough. :lenny:

But yeah, open-ended for sake of a bit of freedom in that regard.
