Character Development Thread--Discussion

Didn't she do that before Shale broadcasted Justin?

"The Omniverse is the collection of all possibilities, and all possibilities must eventually come to pass."

Yes, and then Justin's advice convinced Mequoql to keep her psychic shields up just when she might have otherwise dropped them in time to hear Vindex if she'd heard the right persuasion.

If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.

@Ryuhza: So far as my characters going to the Wasteland are concerned, there are scattered ruins out there that they wish to explore to see if they can find obscure information about inter-temporal/spacial/dimensional/whatever portals - same mission as those going to the forest, ghost town and necropolis.

@Kkutwar

• Maequoql's last interaction with Explorer of Unknowns
• Maequoql lost track of Mael
• Vindex in the alley
• Mattieu in the alley
• Justin's ill-timed advice keeping Mequoql deaf to Vindex
• Nui in hotel lobby, asking where Valerie is going
• correcting Valerie's assumption on Moobly's origin as well as Carol initiating the alley evacuation
• Under what circumstances is Vindex contagious?
• Amy asks Vindex where he's going
• truck leaves without Matiu
• truck leaves without Lily
• group shuffle in front of Valerie

I hope this helps, though I suspect it might be an incomplete list.

Sorry for the delays (again), making sure my Dungeons & Dragons campaign can have a satisfactory conclusion is my current my creative focus.

I see...

Thanks for that.

this place needs me here

@ladytanuki: Murquoql's ready to leave Room 444, do you have a stub to post or should I just have Murquoql leave already?

I'm a little confused. What exactly is Rosalind apologizing to Ozurr for?

Rosalind is apologizing for letting her vigilance lapse. It left Ozurr the only one watching for a sneak attack from Krakka'a. Rosalind's had it drilled into her head that (edit: in groups of four or more) you never ever ever have less than two entities on guard.

Got it.

So yeah, on the off chance that there was any lingering doubt in anybody's mind as to whether or not Krakka'a is a complete asshole...here you go.

• @kkutwar: You accidentally double-posted.
• @Darkblood Carnagefang: I'm waiting on a Vrask post.

Posted, freaking finally. I needed to freaking write something because I've been slacking and I needed to post here, so there you go.

I guess the Washingtonians and Sumerians are ready to meet the NCHs and their wonderful gaggle of friends, whenever they're ready.

Hey fellas, I just joined the Adventure Friendly World Character Development Thread.

I'll be writing as Wain Fallwen, a crappy bounty hunter from a futuristic space-faring world whose ship crash-lands on the edge of town square after botching a hit.

Can't want to start writing with you guys!

Ah, what a swift entrance!

Welcome to the CDTs



edit: Aff! They've changed how labelnotes look again. Can a guy get a little consistency around these parts? Back to the old post heading style, I guess...

@paulred7: Welcome to the thread! The Adventure page has some very useful info if you haven't read it already.

This is a map of town, I'd like to know where Wain just cratered so that I can figure out exactly which members of my Web of Friendship noticed the crash.

@Miss_Desperado Waid landed behind the hotel and restaurant near the East Gate, if that helps.

Edited by Paulred7 on Jul 14th 2018 at 4:39:58 AM

That helps tremendously, thanks

I promise I'll start posting in Adventure again soon, I'm just both really tired and very easily distracted at the moment.

Still a great "screw depression" song even after seven years.

@paulred7: Do Wain's shoes have shoelaces? I'm asking just in case Murquoql's diplomacy fails...

@Miss_Desperado Wain doesn't have any shoelaces, no.

Edited by Paulred7 on Jul 16th 2018 at 7:36:18 AM

Forget what I said, I'm gonna need a much longer break than I thought.

I have ruined many people's perception of me beyond repair, and motivating myself to post here will not be easy.

I don't know if this will help, but for what it's worth, I still think of you as a nice person.

The Web of Friendship has mapped the Jewel Galaxy and small pieces of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies. Some other galaxies are marked as a general location but their contents are not mapped. I predict that it's highly unlikely that Wain's destination is on the ship's map, would he throw a temper tantrum if that is indeed the case? EDIT ADDITION: Would you rather have Wain be Easily Forgiven and looking at the map soon, or would you rather have Arilay the Spaceship Girl call Wain out for threatening her crew member, potentially clogging the teleporter for a while?

Ouch... yeah, I know that feel, and I bet you know why. Honestly though, posting here will help, since you know we're all here for you. I hope. Well, at least I am.

Sooooo, KC mentioned coming up with a creative finish to his Dungeons & Dragons campaign was his primary focus... Well, coming up with a creative start to my own one was my primary focus this weekend, hence why you guys saw no post from me. I won't have time to post tonight, but I'll try and catch up tomorrow.

@Desperado: Having Murquoql just leave is fine with me. EDIT: whoops, looks like she already did.

EDIT: Huh, seems I'm not due for a post anyway. Waiting for Kkutwar in the hotel lobby and Slysheen in Chitara's wagon.

Edited by ladytanuki on Jul 16th 2018 at 11:14:05 AM

Come, my child of the devil. Your mother is calling you. Hear my call in Hell's grand hall, where all our dreams come true.

@Miss_Desperado I think it would feel more realistic if Arilay got mad at Wain for threatening her crew member. Then again, that's just my dislike for the Easily Forgiven trope shining through.

Turns out that's the conclusion I reached while I was preemptively drafting for both ways.

I'm waiting on Kkutwar too. @kkutwar: Here's what's been happening around your characters since your last post...

• Maequoql's response to Explorer of Unknowns, as well as Arilay reacting to Moobly's departure. Shale went to the restroom and said she'd catch up later.
• Aynara and Arnaya arrived for the Psyche-Chan Challenge and Maequoql left for the cockpit, Arilay casually said a "That's Gotta Hurt" quip regarding the crash near the hotel.
