So here we discuss the RP. And by discuss I mean crack jokes and complain. So, yeah, typical discussion.

Ask questions, whether they be immediate concerns of getting a general idea of the setting/concepts involved. Should be fun, guys.

Seriously though, guys. Discuss. Come on. Talk.

One matter we need to get done with is getting a vice-captain/first-mate for the bandits. He/She's pretty much open to being anything, but I'd prefer them not to have a Devil Fruit and have strength comparable to Morgan/Alvida. Other than that, they're free game.

[up]I don't mind making a third character right now if they'll only appear once (Or if they do a Red Sonja)

So about your thing with ranks, it seems to me that it might be a bit confusing if Pioneers refer to both Government agents and Pirates. But, OK.

I think its odd that den-den-mushi are being used. Wouldn't they be dried up? Perhaps we could replace them with some kind of lizard communicator.

Den Den Mushi don't mind the hot. It's the extreme cold which they don't work in (In the Frozen Hell in Impel Down, there are no Den Den Mushi because of this). Also, I'm sure when not in use they're kept in a cool container or something where the sun can't get to them.

I think wild Den Den Mushi would live underground, IMO, so... yeah.

Den Den Mushis not making sense, lololololol.

Anyway. Think of it more like this, "illegal" pioneers are pirates, unionized pioneers are just pioneers. It's not that confusing.

Well, Big Daddy, I'm assuming that one character you made isn't going to appear for awhile. I'm still not sure why you made him so early. But, if you can, go over to the sign-up thread and throw the character in. Don't worry too much about superficial information, he/she doesn't need to be the deepest character ever seen.

I dunno but it's better now than trying to shoehorn him in later. I dunno, don't judge me, it's not hurting anyone >.>

Right, erm OK I'm coming up with the guy now. Want him to be like Morgan (Never heard from again)? Or like Arlong (Have some relation to a villain 400 chapters/pages later).

Ummm either-or, it doesn't really matter. It's your game, just make him/her creative. If there's a good/interesting enough reason for them to come back, then let it happen, but if not, they're gone.

OK so to start up some more conversation, should we pass the time by tranposing some more stuff from One Piece? For example:

Calm Belt: Anger Border.

Information: The Anger Border is what halts those in the normal Frontiers from heading into the Golden Frontier. It's a gigantic sandstorm that destroys everything in it's path except the creatures that inhabit it. Military and Government personnel cover their carts with bits of the animal to pass through.

Devil Fruit Powers cannot be used on the creatures, but they never leave anyway. They are our seastone.

Seastone was to be transposed as "desert growth." It's a type of wood that drains moisture, but dangerously so for Devil Fruit users, to the point that one touch will drain someone enough to negate their abilities until they get enough water. It's not easily crafted, but more easily found than seastone.

The Anger Border... I like the name. The concept I had in mind was giant stretch of quick sand with huge sandstorms flying over it, making it impossible to travel through. The only way to get to the Golden Frontier is by using either a government patrolled "bridge" that cuts through the storms, or by traveling through Shuttle Spin, a dust storm where one wrong turn where throw you into the thick of the Anger Border. However, making it through takes you up the Rocket Loop and down into the Golden Frontier.

Oh yeah, quicksand. I forgot about that. As for the bridge across the border, it seems fun, but whats the logic behind it? The sandstorms are dtill a problem.

Oh, they're covered bridges. Like a semi-circle of stone cutting across the Angry Border. A tunnel.

  • Crescendo Tower.

Aside from what has already been explained in the RP, no.

Also, I really stress that everyone pay attention to details. It's starting to become hazy with people being in two different places at once, having not realized the setting has moved. Just take an extra minute of your time to read everyone's posts.

No, it's technically my turn to respond to you. I left for the weekend, and I was hoping when I returned there'd be more for me to respond to. I mean, I was the second-to-last person to post. Glint, Tex, Bluenote, Alix... anyone else could have posted during that time.

There's also the small matter that, well, Cryptic is apparently inside while Bluenote and Cocoa are outside. It's making how I respond... tricky.

I got distracted by cake.

Also, I can't think of a good post to follow yours. Your characters seem to be intent on driving the plot forward, whereas Glint still hasn't said if he wants to see the tower or whatever he wants. More interaction from everyone is needed.

Sorry about my lack of reply. Attempting to get into the character's head, and that plus school work is leaving me very little time on the web. Should have a post up within the half hour.

I thought the entire group would be brought together just by the fact they all went 'Looking for the City of Gold? Sounds interesting' and just came along to see if the 'hero' was blowing smoke.

We could bring in the bandit captain now, to unite everyone, in an attempt to get the party together? What do you guys think.

I'd rather at least get people to the Crescendo Tower. Once they get involved with things a little bit there, cue bandits coming in to tear the place down.

Guys, is it going to have to be Tex and Crypt talking to each other for five pages before someone comes along, or another character speaks up? What are you guys waiting for.
