Would Adam be able to see the Bandit's screen?

I'm back - despite having travel, commuting and shaky Internet signal.

Anyway, since we're Travelling at the Speed of Plot, I'm trying to get Michelle up to speed in the forest and am getting her interacting with others and talking, as someone suggested.

As for my earlier post about the town... how would someone like to control NPC John Smith and let him react to Michelle going Super Mode?

BTW, I have a new shared NPC for everyone available - Rachael, the (for now), only police officer in town (as far as we know) who has a Split-Personality Team within her. Since we haven't seen any cops, I thought I'd add one, and bring in another shared NPC to go alongside John Smith.

Inspiration for the idea came from Pokémon and the Officer Jenny characters who are all identical-looking, but this one is an Ink-Suit Actor / Textual Celebrity Resemblance to Ruby Hale from Series.Agents Of SHIELD, portrayed by Dove Cameron, only in a British cop uniform like Karen Gillan from Doctor Who wears.

It's justified though, since she's a shared NPC - this explains why she has the Split Personality.

If anyone wants to use her, feel free to, it's a Reused Character Design of mine for a character that later never made it into this roleplay.

[up][up]Sure, I don't see why not.

[up]I can write John Smith's reaction to Michelle's Super Mode if nobody else wants to.

(Thinking Out Loud ramble) I'm curious, are town cops redundant when we already have John Smith and his ability for Self-Duplication? But then again, we do have gate guards who aren't John Smith. I guess that means that cops wouldn't be too out of place, John Smith can focus on the foreign threats while the (ordinary human?) cops focus on the domestic threats. In that case, Arilay or Shale or Aynara — whoever winds up taking Simon the bandit to the town's jail — might not be talking to John Smith when that happens after all.

Finally got around to posting. Turns out Krakka'a is a lot more pragmatic when he isn't being told what to do.

Posted. Hopefully, I haven't forgotten anything. I must admit, I like the sudden turn this conversation took.

~@Will De Regio: Are you going to post for Akane, or can I go ahead and post for Syrni Sandra by assuming that Akane is still following?

I had an idea for the group in the butte. Would you mind a sudden encounter with a random wild creature/monster?

No issues here. smile

Edit: probably no post from me tonight. There was a party today and I'm pretty pooped. Might be busy tomorrow as well, but I'll try and make time somewhere.

[up][up]Well, Claire does fight monsters for a living, so... sure, why not.

I... have half a mind to cause further Mood Whiplash (and possibly actual whiplash) by having Akane deliver a (non-lethal) flying lariat to the back of Krakka'a's neck.

Sorry, had an unexpectedly extended movie night. I'll make time to post tomorr- later today

Also, not my place to push, but just a heads up Will, it is your turn in the Forest group.

@Will: It's also your turn for...

  • Cynthia and Diantha
  • Lerna and Nerea
  • Haydn and Wilhelmine, unless their wandering is being kept offscreen
  • the Sun-Dry Sea. Do you want to do an offscreen advancement on some of the Panzerfaust repairs? I'm under the impression that there's a discrepancy between how much time and progress has passed for that group compared to others and I'd like to catch that group up to the time passed elsewhere.
  • What happened to Parthenia the Keraunos after she split from Farah and Jean?
  • For that matter, what happened to Farah?

@Pyxo: What happened to Chitara and Naiolo? @Millership: What happened to Jean Westinghouse?


I posted for Sarquoql recently after realizing I neglected him. I know I'm keeping Seenarnha, Lectri and Plasma offscreen deliberately for specific reasons, with specific triggers to bring them back into the spotlight that haven't happened yet. I know I'm supposed to wait for nrjxll, Mr Ship 21 and Pyxo to post because it's not my turn yet for Swanwhite or Nyorla and company. So why do I still have this nagging paranoid suspicion that I'm forgetting to post for someone somewhere?

  • It's not my turn at the bulletin board, is it? (checks) Apparently it's Merseyuser 1's turn.

That took too long to get going, but there's the Hummingbird. Too tired for the butte troupe. No other major plans until Friday though, so I shouldn't have as many interruptions or distractions.

@Miss, you've mixed the characters and their authors up. Parthenia and Farrah are mine and they're MIA, since I'm out of the CD Ts for now.

Spiral out, keep going.

I may as well just get whats in Adam out since there's literally no chance for suspense at all with Web of Friendship.

~@Will De Regio

Further away, something crashed unseen though the underbrush, deeper into the forest.

If this invisible so-and-so has biological neurons (as opposed to Morpho's mechanical neurons) and doesn't have specific shields against telepathy, Mequoql should have seen this coming long before it punched the moufreta.

By the way, how much wrath would Arnaya call down on her head if she said this?

Arnaya rolled her eyes. "I'm not going to stop until you apologize for blowing off my first warnings. And six against one? You're gonna need more guys, or you're gonna end up like them." She jerked a thumb at the nine bandits. "Or worse, if you push me far enough to show you why the people of my home planet call me the Scourge of the Twenty-Four Moons."

He'll get pissed off, like VERY PISSED OFF, but he'll have to calm himself down and not escalate things since he's trying to save his energy for Mael. Or wait until he has a new punching bag to blow off steam.
