With the main RP just about to begin, I figured it'd be best to get a Discussion Thread up in preparation. And without further adue, feel free to discuss life after The Fall, regardless of what happens to await you...

I'd like to imagine that Cora continues work at the animal rescue, and as a matter of fact some of the birds are now friendlier with her, though a few animals now won't come near her. This obviously makes her quite sad but she understands why it happened.

Did animals get hit by the Fall?

[up]Nope; they're immune. That will get explored at some point in the RP, trust me.smile

Oh, and the RP's up. Feel free to check it out here.smile

Just a small query: since there is no power, does that mean that absolutely anything with electronic components has ceased to work, or do some simpler devices still function?

This is mostly regarding short wave radios, walkie-talkies, that sort of thing.

I wonder how the prison would react.

Well, presumably they have backup generators, so that's probably the first thing they'll try...

But those also would have shorted out, wouldn't they?

That's the funny thing, I wonder if they truly would, depending on what fuel they use or how complex their functioning is.

Nope; no power means no electricity, no heating, not even nuclear devices. This also includes radios, walkie-talkies, generators, etc. Basically, your fine city has just technologically been sent back a couple of centuries at the least.

Well, something like a very simple combustion engine ought to work, right? Or has physics broken down to the point where even something like that won't work?

[up]Not even combustion engines. If it's a man-made source of power, or even a man-made creator of power, it won't work. The same goes for Plants, though thanks to the magical properties of the rift, they've all stopped production safely.

Angels and demons weren't the only things to come through the rift; magic has too, along with the very essence of the realms that the angels and demons belong to. Reality itself is warping in unprecedented ways, and that includes the complete removal of man-made power. Magic is going to be what rules the day here.

I see, I do assume that most simple guns still work, or would they be hampered in some manner as well?

[up]Guns work just fine, so long as they aren't using a power source.

Well, probably not, since chemical reactions aren't working. It seems like the anti power stuff is a bit like in the Kate Daniels series.

Well, convenience, is everything.

Also, if I have Josh keep Milton around, do I have to make a profile with him?

Ok so, I'm gonna be afk for a while so just to make sure I don't throw a wrench into the game. Am I supposed to introduce the police department's actions before kkhohoho, or do I wait for a prompt to it?

[up]I'll be handling that. I was just waiting a bit to do so, instead of doing it right away.

Two things:

-are we supposed to (can we) hint at our character's transformations?

-could we sort of get a count of the people in the shelter for reference?

Hmm, have some numbers I just made up now:

-8 people in the medical rooms, 2 who have medical experience of some kind

-Maybe 15-20 people, including children and elderly, sitting downstairs in a room mostly used for like 15 kids tops. They can all fit but there isn't a surplus of elbow room.

I don't have a firm idea of how much time passed between people entering the shelter and the sheep attack, or how many people were in the group outside, so this is pretty much numbers that I thought sounded reasonable.

[up][up]Yup. The idea is that you'll gradually transform into your character's new forms as you go along. To keep things from getting too slow, you're free to control the rate of the transformations as you wish, within reason. You can't transform you character all the way in one post; instead, try to only partly transform him or her in a given post once you decide to start doing so. Make it gradual, though you don't have to do it piecemail either, such as a hand at a time, or something like that. (Unless you want to do it that way, of course...)
