[up]...this isn't the time to take risks. Play it safe, bring in a character whose skills are making friends and influencing people, and use Prisha later, once you've demonstrated to your doubters that you and Prisha are two separate people.

...and to extend on my car metaphor, the Freak X Prisha made headlines, so no one feels safe driving alongside it at the instance. So, play it safe.

Prisha wasn't the first character I used in these threads. Besides I can pull him out before it gets too bad. Like I should have done in Heist. But we'll see how it goes for now.

Help?.. please...

Okay then. I wasn't personally bothered by him too much, but I saw that he was causing problems.

Be warned. If he causes too much trouble, Cathy (or Brent/Stephanie) will kick him out. And it usually involves being flung through the door.

One day I will join a character development thread. One day.

Of course, since I write graphic novels...

Naw, I kid. Although that would be amusing. It would certainly be annoying as all hell.

[up]You can find free image uploading sites; I used one in the first cantina thread.

Would it be impractical? Yes. Would it be cool? Yes. But go with what works.

You're planning to use images alongside your posts? That would be interesting.

I'm leaving in a short while for hip-hop class. Don't blow up the place while I'm away.

No. I WRITE graphic novels. I do not draw graphic novels.


Panel 6. Nicky is looking at Elizabeth. Charly is gone, and Nia and Kiwi are reacting with mild surprise/disbelief/amusement at what Nicky is asking. Elizabeth is more evasive, and Jamie is looking down at her feet, as if she only slightly knows what the word means.

NICKY:
Hey, Grandma, what does “fuck” mean?

ELIZABETH:
Absolutely nothing.

NICKY:
Are you—?

ELIZABETH(int.):
Yes.

That's equally interesting.

I was thinking about playing with Finn's point of view in the first post, but I didn't have the time to since my brother was hogging the laptop.

Gaargh, I'm engaging in double conversations. I'm not sure I can handle it.

And that's why I only bring one character in at a time.

Multitasking is very hard — at first.

There is a learning curve. I remember the first time I roleplayed two characters, I was pretty much going "OMGWTFBBQ"

Recently? I gmed a roleplay where I had to play a spiritual counterpart to every character. That's about ten or so different characters.

It just takes practice.

I'm getting the hang of it, though.

Okay, now I really need to go to the class, so see you guys! Hope the Cantina don't move too fast...I'll be back in five hours or so.

Just to chime in, part of what made me leave was that the character I was using was fairly new, and the story he belonged to ended up not being the greatest idea, so I dropped it because the character no longer resembled what I was going for in terms of actions. He still sounded right, but he didn't act right.

It was like watching Uncanny Valley unfold in real time...

I have two characters, but only one is really ever "active" at one time and they're both sitting at the same table.

Pardon my lateness, I was playing, Devil May Cry 4, but seriously, Heist got locked down, damn. I mean, I know that I kind of stopped posting and my characters faded, but wow.

ok, I have two characters I think I want to develop (together, and in general).

The one problem is that one of the dudes is a mind reader. Is that ok? Allowed?

Cause it might be all...well, yeah.

[up][up]Let's say mind reading is hard in the Cantina, some courtesy charm, so that only very strong (e.g. explicitly stated) thoughts can be read without the target's explicit permission. Sound good?

[up] Sounds like a good policy. I say we go with that.

Also, is it just me or is anyone else sensing a bit of Squall Leonheart from Prisha? I'd hate to think what he was like before if Squall is considered an improvement.
