Hmmm Afropuppy my only problem with that is Nina is in a near-death state currently. If we find her a group to join first and then do a time skip I'd be all for that

Well, I don't know how to help with that to be honest... I mean the group has barely noticed her and realistically even if they saw her they wouldn't trust her enough to bring her into their new shelter, especially since half of them are injured and they have two puppies with them (not trying to be mean to your character or anything but for them to start trusting eachother they all had to prove they don't mean harm and it wouldn't make sense for them to immediately start trusting an almost dead dog they randomly find nearby)

Maybe we can say she can survive okay-ish by herself until after the timeskip and then she can have something happen to her? Also the whole "everyone met everyone on the same day conveniently because that's when their life got interesting even though the plague and stuff hit days ago" is trying to be avoided as much as possible with the timeskip idkk it's your choice do whatever you want but this is just my suggestion

Sounds good!

Which group did you want Nina in? WolfieGamer57

Hmmm any group is fine! I'm thinking about helping a smaller group get a little bigger possibly

That would be amazing!

Maybe Diesel could find her? I wondered why he'd not hear/smell the other group at the same time, but perhaps he decides he ought to carry Nina to a water supply which would move the two of them in a different direction? Would that work?

I thought of the same thing, but then I got to the "but won't he find everyone else too" problem. But that could work!

 

[Afropuppy]

Actually, speaking of water supplies, I was thinking about how to go about doing something like that. I mean they probably shouldn't have a permanent one because then it would give them a pretty darn good reason to stay in one place, kinda slicing the exploration portion of the roleplay in half right?

So then I had another idea. Since the city the roleplay is set in doesn't exist couldn't we just say that it rained often? Like really often? It would certainly be very beneficial (clean-ish water puddles, free bath, mud puddles for the pups -and some adults- to play in to lighten the mood a bit ect.) but it would also add some difficulty (everything except dirt is slippery, you can't see well ect.)

Idk tell me your thoughts on this I think adding a weather aspect would be great long-term because if one day way later in the roleplay one of the groups were about to run out of whatever they were eating and was like yeah let's find more in the morning but the next morning there was a thunderstorm outside they would have an extra challenge in finding food

 

[Afropuppy]

Why do I always come up with stuff at like 1:25 in the morning

 

[Quiddles]

WolfieGamer57 , would it be okay with you if Diesel picked Nina up (it would have to be by the scruff of the neck, dogs not really having another way to carry smaller dogs), to take her to somewhere with water?

Afropuppy , clean water supply in a city with the services gone or non-existent is always dubious (hence why historically there have been so many outbreaks of disease in cities until the introduction of mains water etc.), so readily available fresh water would make it less likely the dogs would become ill. If it is a wet city there are probably also lots of ways of corralling it- storm drains and things- which would provide an obvious shelter in the access tunnels unless there was a good reason not to shelter there- dangerous wildlife? Alligators?? So they can have the fresh water but not use the shelter that would normally be associated with its management in a city?

 

[WolfieGamer57]

Quiddles I'd be cool with that, thanks!!

Note: Unfortunately, I will be out of town from this evening to sunday evening. Feel free to use my character as an NPC just a little if needed to progress the story. See ya guys on Monday!

Oh, well I was thinking something more like the rain leaving large puddles everywhere (or there's like a bucket somewhere and they find it and someone always has to carry it in their mouth all the time so they drink from that and it refills when it rains or something) because how would they know how to get into the drains, actually would the know what the drains even are?? I mean they are dogs that can talk to eachother but still

If they found an opening to the drains (even if there were alligators in them) would they assume that there were more out there or would they think that was the only one in the entire city? That's another reason why I immediately went with rainwater because it was available everywhere in the city except for inside their shelters and stuff

 

[Quiddles]

Quiddles I just wanted to let you know that your format for your posts is nice but it's a bit too bold for me to be able to read without hurting my eyes. Would you consider making it a little less bold or maybe a different font?

Which one of the three is an issue, so I can do that? The one for Diesel?

 

[Afropuppy]

Just a heads up, I'm going to change my posts to have bbcode, which means everyone will get re-mentioned and notification will appear, sorry about that :b

 

[Afropuppy]

Gosh, I finally finished converting everything into bbcode... Wow I can't believe how many grammatical mistakes I made at the start and until about the middle of the roleplay

Thanks to everyone for not being like fix your grammar already like I was saying to myself while trying to convert all this stuff xD. I fixed them now I think and edited the previous ones in order for the tenses to actually make sense

 

[Quiddles]

Quiddles yeah the one for Diesel.

I've picked a different one.

 

[queanbean]

Omg I just realized it's been my turn. Uh uh, skip over me this time? I'm starting a new job and building stuff for my new house so I'm kinda out of it and uh, ah. Tada, Hazel and Turtle get in? Sorryyyyyyy.

It's ok don't worry about it, focus on actual irl important stuff and you can post whenever you have time

I'm gonna have to announce Cocoa as the winner though because idk if Turtle made it in fast or not and also to give you more time to do stuff (oh and also because Cocoa is small and fragile and it was more of an accomplishment for her to make it up faster and like not fall and die)

Just focus on irl stuff now and we'll still be here when you have time to post

 

[Afropuppy]

Ok so Quiddles it's your turn now


Let's say that turtle and hazel made it up no problem and if not we can always edit our posts

 

[Quiddles]

Going to go ahead and post. queanbean f you want back in we can just fit yours in first, or I can edit if needed, or you can pick up afterwards if that suits an if everyone would be okay changing the posing order?

 

[Quiddles]

Cocoa is adorable in that last post. Those dogs are going to be so sad when circumstances mean they can't use the house any more, whenever that happens.

Yeah... I was thinking actually, that we should maybe make it last a bit longer. Have them be comfortable and sleep in there for a few more nights and enjoy themselves y'know? I mean they will probably not find a shelter in as good shape as that one for a good while, so why not make it last? Not like we'll get bored of it if we extend it, since most (if not all) of it will be happening in the time skip. I dunno they're just all so cute and adorable but tired so I wanna do the best for them but the roleplay is focused on how everything isn't the way they want it to happen so I dunno

Edit: That way their wounds would have pretty much healed by the time we got back to controlling them so that's a nice benefit

Two reasons off the top of my head for extending the time:

Dramatic Impact: The longer they've had to get used to it, the more stark the contrast will be when they lose it.
Conflict and Quandary: A good shelter is not going to go unnoticed by other strays, eventually the group would be faced with a choice between defending their shelter (risking injury and with the issue of trying to protect those less capable of defending themselves) or leaving it (protecting their more vulnerable members in the short term but exposing themselves to the problems of living back on the abandoned streets).

Here's another reason:
Both of those make more sense than saying a bunch of (probably underweight) dogs jumped on a log too many times and they had zero other ways to get up
