Character Development Thread--Discussion

Yep. I'll post in about ten minutes.

Emile Durkheim has delayed me.

@Snowfox and Macyoshi - can you feel how grande the Trinidad Casino is supposed to be? Its overpowering height, the free-gushing fountains, and the curving south entrance to the revolving doors? The swarms of people who also visit? The nouveau arte feel? Does the place even come alive in your imagination? All I'd read was there was an entrance and some guards. I can't imagine being seduced by its grandeur, even if it's not open yet. That's a boring introduction and a disservice to the anticipation of the heist we've been waiting for. Please put some effort into your description— I no like reading stick figures.

Bianca has seen tons of big fancy buildings. She even grew up in one. I'll have her notice it more, but she won't be impressed.

That is far from a good excuse for leaving out this splendor.◊ Give us something to picture, so everyone'll be watering their mouths for robbing the Trinidad. They're having such a fun time back there, planning to break in the vault.

Gant's yelling at Bianca, a nice bit of foreshadowing. After this, he'll grab Cain, recall that he needs to grab Scott and do so, and then head off to the prison to ask some questions.

Hey so would the casino have bullet proof windows? Just wondering.

Probably not. Definitely not in the hotel part, and it's not likely on the main building either.

Oh, they're at the casino already? Yeah, at least a little more description ought to do, even if it's just "She turned up her nose at the gold interior".

Also, I don't think the windows accessible to civilians will be bulletproof. What is with these characters and killing people?

I assume Bianca is, and I second the fact that we need more DESCRIPTIONS FOR THE IMAGERY THRONE.

I lean towards sparse description most of the time. Edited the post between bites of nachos and rice.

If you would respond to mine, then we'd be jim-dandy.

Seconded — it's a bit silly when even Alice Snow decides a group's plan is too violent. (Or at least, too blatantly violent.) Still, we wanted a division in the group to create drama, and different viewpoints on the art of robbing casinos has certainly provided.

So has anyone decided where the vault should be on the map exactly?

KSPAM, your turn to post. I propose you recall the need to rendezvous with Chubert's character and then head to the prison so we can do our detective work.

Morgulion, didn't Shion say she doesn't know who Grimm is?

Didn't notice the post had been edited. Will change it about a bit.

Sorry for not posting. I was out writing long-hand. Where is Ian right now.

In a Ferrari parked in Las Vegas, around the corner from the casino.

Is he alone?

Deinonychus is with him, I think.

The Ferrari's parked in someone's private back alley, blocks from the Trinidad. That's so they don't see the car or its license number in their vicinity.

I'll resist the temptation to force it, but I have a serious suspicion Alice, Rob, and Daisuke are setting themselves up for Comic Trio mayhem in Heroic Sociopath flavor, with Alice as the schemer, Daisuke as the naive doer, and Rob as the guy trying to warn them their plan is batshit insane.

(If you're wondering about her success despite being a bit nuts: normally, Sigmund, one of the few people she genuinely respects, keeps Alice on a short leash — despite what she may claim, taking his rational advice is what keeps her in business. She's attached on to Rob as a Sigmund-analogue, but it's not nearly as strong.)

I approve and will write Rob accordingly.

Doesn't help that Daisuke thinks tranquilizing and sleep-gassing people is funny.
