[up]This isn't a story with any heroes, dragon nor is a tale of right or wrong. You can't decide how other player will threat your character for them.

People will be scapegoats, people will blame, people will lie, cheat and steal and finally characters will die. This is just the type of RP your joined.

I know. What I mean is, I'm not going to allow them to make me into the villain. If I become the villain, it's because miles chooses to because he's had enough.

That's all I meant.

Also, I suggest that points not be able to be used to force the characters to take actions against their will. See, we're exceptional humans... that means reality doesn't shape us... we shape reality.

It's kind of funny. Sufficiently advanced stupidity is like sufficiently advanced science; eventually, you find something you can't solve.

It can do an extent I can't control you, totally but I could alter what your voice says even if you said something different by alter the sound waves as the travel through the air. Or make a prefect shot miss, even when it would normally be impossible to fail.

This RP will be very You can't fight decision points, this is not an idealistic work.

Well, Rule of Drama. I think we were getting a little bored, so we had our characters pile onto Miles, being the first one to reveal his secret. It's a good thing the whole scene happened: It sends a message to our characters that things are going to be very bumpy.

Don't be surprised if Alexia actually pulls the trigger. It's bound to happen.

Protenially, every character can become a villain, if pushed enough. It's Gray-and-Grey Morality.

[up][up] wild mass guess Ooo! A la Haruhi Suzumiya! Maybe characters can accidently bend reality (when the player spends all of his points).

When will we see the Grandfather? And what time is it in the RP? I presume it's late afternoon or near evening.

[down] I know, I know.

Yeah. They can react to me in whatever way their characters would, but I'm not going to be forced into a role because of that. Just because they say he's the villain doesn't make him any less penitent, nor any less of an upstanding gentleman.

Also for timing it's dark out, the sun set during the fighting.

So, will there be dinner at the house, or the mansion.

And once this RP ends, can I do my own RP under the name "Reunions", and with the basic premise, but with a different setting and plot?

That would be cool—a whole series of family reunion R Ps.

@Dragon, did you see my discussion thread post about Christina's secret? 241st post, middleish of page ten.

[up][up] You purposely made your character's past foggy, didn't you? That's good from a role-play perspective.

I'm thinking of calling my RP Reunions Redux: Gray Winter.

Sure, though I know this isn't your intent,(or maybe it is?) I rather like the idea of a Shared Universe or Multi Verse of RP and other media.

I was actually thinking about doing a RP based in the universe of Reunions after this myself but in a different area with a different feel like Noir meets Steampunk, possibly even an AU so people could use the same characters in different roles.

I was thinking Alternate Universe, with it set in the mid 30's, leaning more towards the mystery genre and its subtypes (like Noir. Also, some Mythology Gags could be weaved in every once in awhile.

Hey, I saw some of the players from earlier in the RP around the place. I guess that means they lost interest. sad

Looks like their characters will go the way of Brother Chuck.

I have finally figured out what type of person Alexia is!

Before a certain point, Alexia was pretty much normal from the surface, with her secret being the interesting aspect of her personality. So, I went with the flow, and saw how Alexia reacted. Basically, she was okay on the zeppelin, but snapped once on the island.

So, first off: Mood-Swinger. So far, she went from friendly, concerned, friendly, confused, enraged, upset, afraid, and then neutral, within a few hours. This could either be related to her secret, or another disorder altogether. Still, she manages to swing very fastly.

Secondly: Berserk Button. I had thought up a few ways someone can get on her bad side:

  • Revealing her secret (of course).
  • Tamparing with her pocessions (related to number one, slightly).
  • Hurting someone she's close to (just look what happened).

Do any of these, and Alexia will go into a rage that you will regret.

The second one leads right to: Beware the Nice Ones. Normally, she's friendly and nice, as demostrated on the train and zeppelin with her behavior. She's someone you would want to have as a friend. But, when Miles shot Christina, she got really angry, and got close to shooting Miles. Imagine if Christina suffered even a worst wound, one that would've killed her within minutes. Alexia would track the attacker down, and toture him/her to death. I really mean it. I'm planning for that to happen once Daniel goes into serial killer mode.

Yes, once Alexia's gun breaks, he would be the first person she would go to, since she saw him metal bending on the train.

So, if I have to sum her up in one trope, besides Transsexual or Wholesome Crossdresser, the trope would be Beware the Nice Ones.

Have fun.

Miles will be right behind her. You do not mess with someone elses gun.

Glad I only gave him one of the cartridges instead of the gun...

Heh. Just so you know, Lucia was lying through her teeth when she said she didn't have any weapons.

(Also, I apologize for not being on at decent hours of the day. My sleep schedule's been very out of whack lately... Mea culpa.)

Too bad I didn't think of having Alexia take out only the bullets. That was dumb on Tashi's part for letting Miles keep his. He could always find more bullets.

[up] What's your job? Do you work on a night shift, or you just live in another part of the world?

If hers breaks, Miles will buy her another one if they both live through this.

I suppose freelance writer would be the general job description but that's really just a PC way of saying struggling artist of literature, or unemployed.
