Sutoratosu Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'm still here. Just waiting... lurking...like a predator in the dark waiting for the next meal to pass by... but knowing, just knowing in the back of the mind... that no prey is going to come. Only hunger. For hunger rules all...and in the end, it is hunger that shall trump all other emotion, all other feeling. No honor, no valor, no sentiments... only hunger... and the gaping abyss of death.

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Okay, got the main post up. Now, feel free to set up your scenes for the night of the Benediction. Some launching points if you will... A Giant Banquet is held in the Well of Nocturne ((the place Babble was setting up in his intro scene with him and Barbara.)) pretty much throughout the night. It's at the stroke of Midnight they will begin the Benediction Proper, or the readings of the prior Benedictions. That's the important even that everyone in the Castle will be attending pretty much. In the Great Ballroom, they hold... of course... a great ball like I mentioned XD. Mostly lots of dancing and merriment. SOme light refreshments are there as well but it's not anything like down in the Well of Nocturne. Many others have smaller get togethers with friends and fmaily etc... Basically, think of New Years. This is basically their New Year's tradition. Just... less fireworks since you probably don't wnat to set those off in a building ((or set your friend Ted the Zombie on fire etc etc....)) so, I'm leaving it to you guys to set your scenes. ((for Pyon, since your scene is sorta set-up for you feel free to take in the scenery for a bit lol. I mean there's plenty of famous people for you to oogle at for awhile XD. But there will be stuff that comes out throughout that whole section. Just didn't want to spring all that info on you and 8 million conversations XD.))

Sutoratosu Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Oi, Shadow, are you still planning to have Icarus trapeze about the Underground searching for an escape route while everyone in the castle is either partying and/or committing regicide?

Shadow Sketches Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I'm still deciding, I feel like he would be partying up top with others until late at night when everyone would be drunk and giddy from partying to notice him sneaking around. But I may have it where before he gets a chance to he gets interrupted by whatever Kuna has planned. I'm not entirely sure which I want to go for just yet >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 ((Trust me Benedictions tend to go until like... the next day. The actual Benediction is at Midnight. and then they tend to party a lot more... though... Might be saying that... things might be a bit different after the Benediction this time XD. Basically... I'd do it earlier if I were you. Now, not saying you have to, but it would probably be a better idea. And uh... spoilers there is no way out. At least not currently XD.))

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Yeeeeep. They may or may not open at some point though. I'd just keep your eyes peeled.

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 A quick side-note for those particpating in this Rp, NPCs that are created are going to be more or less communal characters that we all use or can slot into scenes to add to them without perhaps needing our own characters being there 100% of the time. ((only the authority memebers in the Castle I have to run since... well I don't want that much power within the hands of players quuuuite yet XD.)) But, I'm going to start keeping small sheets on each NPC that is made. Small personality notes for each, relationship notes ((like who they know and a short blurb on the context of that.)) and stuff like that. This also means that players may create NPCs to be added to the pool for use. So, for example. With Hasslehoof... any of you guys could've made that character be a thing, even Murdoc himself. Something I want make sure is super clear here is that NPCs are a bit more open to use by players in this RP. The ones within the pool can be picked up by anyone more or less and will not be owned by anyone in particular. ((especially after this intro section.)). I want this RP to be a much... different experience than others and I think this is one way to do it, by allowing players more freedom in controlling things within the world and being able to shape the world just as much as I, the host am. I'm taking more of an Apocalypse World, or Dungeon World approach than a Dungeons and Dragons one in this regard. Together, we, are all players that are forming the parts of the narrative etc together. I'll be honest. I know little about this world. But, that's by choice. I want the rest of your to help me build it. This is one example of such a thing. We are building the world together, not jsut me in this little project. And yea, that might be a bit scary at first, but don't be afraid to dip in and get your feet wet. I'd highly suggest trying it out now and getting used to it. Flexing your muscles and stretching your skills to get used to this part of the RP. Cause later on, well a lot of this will be possible. Also, if you want to have an NPC in a scene directly ask Ivna in the thread ((part of what she is for, as well as asking me if one gets stuck to throw something their way lol.)) or ask here in the OOC if someone will pick them up and RP them out with you. Don't be afraid to ask for others to participate in your scene etc... and don't be afraid to insert NPCs in place you think will be interesting. ((though ask in here first maybe.)) I'm allowing a looooot more freedom in these regards. The only characters that are off limits are people's express PCs or certain NPCs I deem Important. ((they will be listed in the Major NPC index.)) On the newest update from me. I'm working on it. No worries~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~ Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Step 1. to making this world great again: Add in cute harpies. Once you've got that your world will be perfect, that's the addition I'm making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Soooooo... how's that gonna work exactly? Cause you kinda just listed two contradictory methods in that explanation. The first 3 paragraphs make it seem as if any minor NPCs can be picked up and used at any time for a scene so long as they can A: somehow justify them being there and also B: justify that their actions are in-character in some way, in accordance of what is included about they're personality and how the original creator of the NPC intended that figure to act ((So, for example, if someone wanted to use Ajax for a scene, they couldn't have him like... voluntarily just blast Aurora with an onslaught of vicious insults behind her back and badmouth her because it would make no sense given the two have been good friends for like... the last few decades or so now, unless some serious shit has happened before hand to drive some sort of legit wedge between that relationship)) and that so long as these requirements are met, no one has to ask anyone about using them... pretty much so long as they don't bastardize the characterization of the NPC or try to abuse it as a Deus Ex Machina or some other bullshit, it's cool... but then the very last paragraph throws all that interpretation out the window for me because it seems to do a turn face heel when it explicitly mentions having to either ask Ivana IC or the general player base OOC for someone to take on the role of that NPC before someone can use it... So then the interpretation for me becomes, yes, you can use a minor pc if you can justify it and you don't need to ask, because they belong to everyone and are free to use but wait, before you do, you need to ask and get someone's permission and/or cooperation to use them. So yeah, just....very confused here. The explanation seems to be laying out two different systems for how this is to be executed by folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Yea, I was tired while writing that. And will probably remove that section. Oops? I think my brain thought, "But, what if they aren't used to this and might get upset and stuff if people come along unannounced etc?" to which my brain said "Make a failsafe at fiiiirst." Basically... I think what I was saying is... don't get too crazy all the time with inserting yourself places and know that if a player asks that like something not be messed with for the time being it can be rolled back etc.((I'll use my best judgement, as the host after all.)) However, otherwise it's open game. ((well don't flip flop a character between people in the middle of a scene either cause that is maaad confusing. Like, any of the minor NPCs in the Dinner right now... people should leave to me because I am already writing them.know what they might do or are planning to do in that scenario while it's unfolding. However, after those NPCs will be free game.)) Basically forget that part, but know that there will be a bit of etiquette things around it. It's a big responsibility I'm leaving out there XD. We might step on a few toes here and there, buuuuuuut, I think it'll be worth it in the long run to figure it out. Basically, not going to baby you guys. All Minor NPCs are in the Minor NPC pool. ((no matter whoooo made them.)). They can be picked up and dropped by anyone when neeeeded. They are more story telling devices etc... than full characters so to speak. Remember to try and understand what someone else is doing or trying to do and when it might be a good time to jump in or a bad time etc... We're diving in pretty deep here and I'm not holding hands so... swim or drown. But, what I'm looking for is that we help each other enhance scenes etc.. rather they are building blocks in the world to build up the lore and the richness around the Castle and it's denizens. They aren't owned and aren't allowed to be owned by any PC, unless they'd become their new PC. forfeiting their old one.Basically, Minor NPCs will be communal characters. Basically, that last part was there cause I wasn't sure if I needed the saftey net or not. I deemed I don't really need it and that you folks should be able to handle the waters lol. So, if there's anything I need clarfiy more just ask etc... I'll try and help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 hmmm... alright, so the first interpretation I had was correct then, with the whole etiquette and stuff like "It's cool, just respect the existing personality and don't DEM shit"? and about the whole dropping them into scenes, that means we can use them to enter other people's scenes and interact with them as a proxy of sorts too then? not just for our own ones? sorry to ask so much. I just felt it best to get some clarity on the actual rules and stuff about this for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Pretty much what you said there. and na, Clarity is good. This is something I don't think has been done here too much so, it's good to be clear as possible lol. So, no worries about a lot of questions. I'd rather you ask a lot of questions, then be content to not ask any and then be confused later down the line since you waited to ask when it becane a problem. So, no worries man.

Shadow Sketches Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Idk why but I absolutely adore Barbara's and Babble's characters. I have a strange urge to hug the living daylights out of the silly slime and feed him caramels... Also, while the beasts are celebrating upstairs the real monsters will be partying down below. Icarus will be joining Aurora in the sewers soon so things should get interesting. It's highly unlikely to end in R&R but who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's highly unlikely to end in R&R but who knows? ah yes, because if there's any way to get on Aurora's good side, it's certainly interfering with a hunt and ruining everything by killing the prey she was stalking. yeah... this is gonna be real fun, I can just tell.
