Character Development Thread--Discussion

QQQQQ turned it to evening, but I assumed it was part of Sophia's vision, so I thought it could still be afternoon.

I think I left Gabriel near Crystal's family.

Unless they moved. Then there's a reactionary angry woman eating a muffin alone right now, if any of you are interested.

The Kunstlers are currently in the veranda cafe, wherever it may be- a clean, alcohol-free, smoke-free environment for their little girl to have a snack and for the parents to enjoy their afternoon tea.

They don't smoke. They just don't. And Adrian can't hold his liquor, anyways.

Yeah, I think I brought Gabe there.

I've edited my post. Good night.

So who's in the first-class lounge. I think my character just arrived.

I just realized — with Sophia at the bow, the sun setting, and the ship heading west, it's unlikely that Edmund would cast a shadow on her approaching from behind. Oops. But it's more of a metaphorical image anyways.

I am a silly silly man.

How active I will be in the thread should vary, so if I don't answer, presume Cathy does.

New NPC Action: When someone orders a meal, Cathy calls out to Carl in the kitchen. He uses whatever methods he has in there to create a meal in a short period of time, and then push a cart out with the meal towards the bar. The cart then vanishes once the meal is taken off.

By the way, how's Cantina so far? Is it fun? Any suggestions?

Needs more people.

In my opinion, we have a fair amount of people. But there's always room for one more. I doubt we'll need to use the side room.

By the way, you should add your character to this page, if only for my reference.

And we need to update both synopsis.

I'd bring Vince in, but we have a Vincent. Oh, well. Maybe Selene can stretch her legs.

You could call him Vinicio.

I'm going to be out most of the day, so Flinn won't be replying for the next few hours.

I finally introduced Alexia's trademark sweets. They're mostly hard candy in Reunions Dark Summer, but I just had some store-brand taffy a few days ago.

For some reason, I like describing characters moving their hands, even if they're just fidgiting with their fingers.

^ Are you intentionally using her as a mood killer?

I like little movements as well. They can tell a lot about a person.

Maybe.

Let's hope I can get into novel-writing mode in my posts. What topic should she bring up?

Sorry I haven't posted in a while - something came up.

Edit: Also, I'm considering dropping out of Titanic - Kyle is doing nothing relevant, and I don't like doing two threads at once (and I'd much prefer the relaxed one if I had to choose). I haven't made up my mind yet, but I'm leaning towards it.

If I do quit, assume he just hung out on board until the wreck, where he presumably died.

-sees Eric Rose come in-

I MUST BRING VINCE finish my writing contest entry.

-sadly meanders over to 750 Words-

That reminds me.

-heads off to seize laptop from siblings and type-

There was one detail that I forgot about Cantina.

While I was designing it for this thread, I thought about including the Framing Device from the original story idea (and the series that inspired it): If a character tells a short story from their life, they either get a discount or they pay off their day's meal. I was a little hesitant about it, but it would be an interesting mechanic to add to it.

So, should Cathy bring this up, or should I keep it under the rug to prevent bogging down the thread with Wall of Texts?

EDIT: 200 posts in 2 days. Cantina should be going on for awhile.

And who wants to be the poor sap that summarizes everything?

Bring it up if someone asks, if they have trouble paying, etc. I doubt everyone will have a story either way, but its my opinion.

EDIT: A story they wish to tell, i mean.

I'll do the Laconic edition:

Various sentient beings from across the multiverse get together for cocktail conversation at the Cosmic Cantina. Hilarity Ensues.
