Code Geass: BotR III: Discussion

At the End of the East, to use Les Miserables' At the End of the Day...?

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13407526330A35440100&page=1#1

Would Walter have any "peeps" with him, like a chauffeur/butler/bodyguard/chef/secretary/entourage, or by himself?

...What day of the week is it?

Also, what time, month, and day is it?

Turn 1: The Day a Bastard GM was Born (alt. title: Friend or Faux?)

My plot-sense tells me this is going to be a practice / tutorial mission before we get to the actual story in Shinjuku. Is it right?

They sent me to Japan to use in bargains,
Now I'm trying to get revenge from within,
I'm going now to let my heart harden
First we take Pendragon, then let freedom in.

Empowered by a people long downtrodden,
Who're waiting for their lives to begin,
Rallying 'round causes long forgotten,
First we take Pendragon, then let freedom in.

I'd die for my independent country,
I long to see, the flag everyone knows,
And I'd do anything for our sovereign nation,
I love you, I love you, love you and it shows.

A sovereign, shining Nippon, To settle for less is a sin,
We know the path to freedom, So let's take it and be taken in
How many years I longed for this, to end our oppression,
First we take Pendragon, then let freedom in.

How I hate this godless evil empire,
And how I hate Refrain, that poison,
I so despise that family entire,
First we take Pendragon, then let freedom in.

I'd die for my independent country,
I long to see, the flag everyone knows,
And I'd do anything for our sovereign nation,
I love you, I love you, love you and it shows.

But I thank you for this number, that you gave me.
This damnable name, eleven.
We fueled our hate with it, now we're ready.
First we take Pendragon, then let freedom in.

Ah remember me, drowning in depression
Remember me, never thought that we could win,
Well it's Judgment Day, and this ends your oppression
First we take Pendragon, then let freedom in.

@nman: On his own. You're going down because you got locked out of your hotel room. You're not taking down a company of Butlers since this a vacation and it'd be more than a little insulting to the staff. Plus you'd have to rent a bunch more rooms.

@Rena: Yes. Thanks for not pronouncing it like 'Fox', as is apparently common amongst Yanks]. I intend to title it later actually, but that will do for now.

@Dark: No Comment.

Alt. Title: Desert Faux

Wait, Yank-

You're not American?

Screw this, you're in no position to be leading a roleplay about FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY! I refuse to follow you!

No answer to my questions? Any of them? The first one (day of the week) and second one (time of day) are sort of necessary for my post, while the other two are unnecessary, unless it's summer, in which case none of the information is necessary. I would still like to have it, though.

No, we're roleplaying about that. Faux plays the bad guys, so is roleplaying about tyranny and oppression.

Technically, we play the bad guys, if you really think about it...

And I'm playing a carried-away student, who's following in Enjolras' footsteps, and will probably follow them to the grave.

So, we're the morally grey people?

Okay. I didn't know if the "a few businessmen and a what seemed to be a farmer" were on thing, or if they were two distinct groups. Be bad to totally screw up on my first post

Also, why would he have a hotel room when he has a penthouse... hmmm. Maybe they're fumigating?

edited 26th Jun '12 8:01:20 PM by nman

Well, I'm not. I'm playing a freedom loving, Britannian kind of disliking Australian!

I posted that quickly to give the easier anwsers, I should have put in a filler anwser but honestly, and this has come up already with a different player, please don't sound offended. There are a lot of posts and I'm doing my best to reply to them all. I do have the occaisional typos as well as situations like these where I'm looking things up and underestimate the time it takes. Other times, I won't want to give an anwser or even a "no comment" and may glance over it. Generally if I don't reply there isn't any malice and usually there's a reason or else I'll correct myself so don't worry too much about things if something is omitted.

I was trying to edit it the other information as I got it but as far as I can see the Show doesn't necessarily give any dates. I'm trying to look for it but I think it is mid Spring. I don't want to date it beyond that until I can properly estimate a time without purely eyeballing it.

@nman: I thought the Penthouse was in Shinjuku. Osaka is at least a few hours from there. This may be business [It's not far from the Sakuradite] or vacation or some other reason. Honestly I don't have a lot of hooks and I'm throwing your character where he needs to be, I'm going to let you invent the specific reasoning.

@Rena: Honestly I prefer the original lyrics just with "First We Take Pendragon, then we take Nippon" in the Chorus. Maybe a few variations specifically, but I can totally see Lulu preforming the original to a Royal Family Member. The fact that in context, it's actually Cohen ranting about how narcissistic and image based the German Red Army Faction was [They were going to take the Manhattan catwalks before they took over Berlin], I feel it fits the Black Knights exceedingly well, while painting both in a rather grey light.

And to the rest, Rena, you should know by now in my campaigns; Everyone is morally Grey. Anyone who is more idealistic ends up dead or cynical in short order and anymore darker than a dark grey is dead from being too dumb to live.

Ok, no hard feelings. I just posted that in case you missed it.

Also, the first two are important because, if it is a school day, and during the middle of the day, Agent Red will react differently than if it is a weekend and in the afternoon to seeing someone from Ashford Academy in the hotel.

I'll look it up, but I think it's a school day.

Man, I reread that post like ten times, and didn't realize Osaka and Shinjuko were different places and thought that his hotel was like, down the street from his house. It'll be no problem to explain it now: he's traveling.

But... why is he traveling? Nah, just kidding. I can answer that with one word: "Business".

@Faux: B-But... I worked hard on it...

Alright, I see your point. But I figured that it was kind of weird for a revolutionary song. I mean, looking at songs like The Internationale, First We Take Manhattan lacks the angry, burning edge.

And it was a school day. Lelouch was skipping school, remember?

edited 26th Jun '12 8:14:08 PM by RenaTheArchmage

And time of day?

Late in the school day, I'd imagine. It was afternoon, I think.

@Rena: I like First We Take Manhatten for this game because it isn't a "Rally 'round people, let me sing you song" deals, it's still burning but it's taking a punch at revolutionaries while supporting their cause. It's about having a just ideal but getting lost in the image. Perfect for this game.

Also, who says it's that exact day?

@Pigeon: Noonish.

Thanks, but there is no d in pigeon.

Was already editing it.

Bah, nobody gets lost in just the image. That's absurd.
