@MyCatGinger The entire play was a commentary on water pollution and the bottled water industry, and as the glittery punk rock beta fish, I was the one that discovered that our beloved Pond was becoming icky and grimey because of this new factory that was selling us "bottled water". And so naturally I rebelled while the rest of my community became brain-washed robots. It sounds really corny but people absolutely loved it haha. There's talk of bringing it on a mini tour, so that's exciting.

BUT NOT AS EXCITING AS MATH FINALS! Dang girl, sending you all the luck on that. I'm sure you passed with flying colors.

And mhm, now that the show is done, I am also free to collab if anyone is tickled with the urge.

I'm glad Captain Schnoofles has been received so well. Thinking of making him Co-GM.

I was a beta fish dressed in many colors and much, much glitter.


Presumably environmentally-friendly glitter that isn't the mass-produced shit that itself is a pretty hideous (salt-)water pollutant? ^^

(no but srsly if you didn't know, that stuff's shit and if you go on tour use something not-evil)

Anywho, we're just waiting on The Po Po


It took me so long to work out who the hell the Po Po was. XD

Oh don't you worry, we were good bunnies and used recyclables and environment friendly products for the production, the director and playwright made sure of it! Good to know that people are aware of it though.

On a side note; I've never worn so much color nor had so much glitter and sparkles on my body in my life. It was an experience.

On the occasions (of which we shall not speak) when I have worn glitter, I've found that shit in me for days.

UGH yeah, I'm still finding it scattered all over my clothing and all, it's hilarious. There's one point where it rains confetti things in the play and I woke up yesterday and found some in my bed.

One or two of you have expressed interest in this: I'm literally writing a massive Google Document listing all my thwarted plans and parts of this that have just not gone the way I planned them.

Should I put a post holder up so that things can continue or are we waiting on other people too? I'm about halfway done with this philosophy project and that will lead me right into finals week so I've been getting railed pretty hard lately. I am still around, and still into this.

If Cops is doing that, I suppose I can extend my post enough to be all for this section. :) That would mean interaction with the local Germans, though.
May I PM you for inspiration, Ben And Jiggy's, or shall I try tackling German as best I know it...

@JigPS: Who of the Wolfs is still available to interact, if not the party guests?

Okay, we can now accomplish stuff.

The eagle-eyed will note the message in my sig, so don't expect too much proactivity from me this week: if you talk to me, I'll talk back, but I'm not in any sort of space to be actually trying to forge ahead with something.

Meanwhile, I didn't really notice many stirrings when I posted this (perhaps because it was the last post on a page and it got missed):

No worries. :)

Well done, everybody: Where next


Just worth mentioning how well you've all been dealing with having clues and lies thrown at you from every corner, and doing collabs and shit off your own bat as well. Top banana.

Remember that it's 100% worth reading everybody's posts in minute details. As I try to spread the clues among you (in order to make life difficult and give everybody stuff to do), it's unlikely that any one character will ever have enough information/the right opportunities to work out what's going on at any point.

Therefore, a little later into the RP, it's going to be worth working out the total amount of information/opportunities available to the cast, and, even if your character doesn't have the right bits, perhaps nudging your characters to work together and pool resources. Obviously there's no great reason to do that just yet, but my next main plot thing that I have planned will definitely start to inspire some questions.

After the ball, I'm almost certainly going to request a 'Jig works out where the hell we go from here' breather, which can either be in the form of an IC day where not an awful lot happens apart from hangovers, resentments, and any character development/further exploring you want to do (so I can work out how the plot progresses next), or it can be an IRL breather so the action in the IC doesn't stop, but I just put a hold on it until I know where we're going.

I'd be interested to hear what you guys think about the above.

Chronologically speaking, the trip to Wolf Manor is supposed to be ten days long (if you make it that far >:D), but this is very much a ballpark from me, because I'm not sure how much content I'll need to squeeze in in order for the plot to make sense, or, whether I'll have enough. This means that it is likely that, at least at some point in the RP, a 'nothing day' or two will have to take place, so some time can pass without the plot happening all at once. When it comes to nothing days, we can tackle them in one or two ways: I can gloss over it in the same way I progress the plot, just saying that a day has passed, you guys can do that yourselves, or you can take the time for your characters to think and pool resources. While I'll ask you again when it becomes of more immediate concern, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this, as well.


As usual, if I know what you want to see, you're more likely to see it. :P

I don't mind skipping days if nothing is happening in them.

I also don't mind skipping a few days here and there, though perhaps for those days everyone could write a sort of log of activities done or whatever, so that it doesn't feel like there are black holes in people's lives, but nobody has to write extensive posts describing those things.

Edit: This project is so fucking hard, and I just want to bitch about how difficult it is to convert carefully reasoned and highly technical philosophical arguments into a freaking dialogue between four dead assholes that never met in real life, plus myself. Part of the reason I'm so unable to RP right now is that literally all of my creativity is going into translating ideas into the words of these 5 identical, monotonous personalities...

I like Cops' idea, about writing a log for the day's activities. And if you (Jig) needed something to happen with someone, they can just write that in as well. I don't mind skipping days.

And ah, I can't even imagine @Callthecops. I'm lucky enough that in the final weeks of this semester I don't have much to do except prep for my performance arts classes so I'm swimming along. Best of luck! You can do it you genius you.

Yeah! :D And we could do our own character interactions for the day and all.
Though I really think ten days isn't a lot of time, and each day should have at least action packed evenings where something more about the Wolfs is revealed, and the days are...you know. Lazy!
