@Lord Wraith I sort of took it upon myself to make up a news station and news anchor. If you have any objections, I can change it.

@Wade Wilson As someone who has never had the opportunity to RP with you but has creepishly seen you around enough to recognize your username, I'm glad you decided to stick it out. Because I'm absolutely terrible at motivating people. But, uh, in all seriousness, can't wait to see that sheet. Like our boss said, the more your write the better you inevitably get.

@Nemaisare Man I look forward to hearing how Lucas is constantly distracted by the screaming of a hardwood floor or the quite whimpering of some All Stars as Grace walks around. And yeah, go ahead and have a middle aged man tell a teenage girl that she's way heavier than she should be, because there is nothing more I enjoy than having a first impression turn awkward and go horribly, horribly wrong. If you ever write "Please, stop, you're hurting the linoleum" then I might die of happiness.

@Wade Wilson Don't suck, kid.
In all seriousness, glad you're sticking around.

Ohboy, IC's up, huh. Guess I'm going to have to open a bottle of whiskey and get in the Marcus spirit.

@Lord WraithIf I stick Lucas in Lisa and Harrison's car for the ride in, is there anything I should know about them?

Nothing in particular. They're just running into town to fill up some gas canisters and bring them back to refuel the convoy.

Nope that's alright. No need to change.

For anyone who has read the posts but needs a quick refresher, the IC OP has a summary of the events that have happened in the IC thus far with each player's posts broken down into bite sized chunks. Just in case you need to brush up quickly before submitting a post.

I like the sentiment, but I don't know how overtly crazy I am about it. It would make things SO much easier. But what if it negates from players actually reading the posts?

Yeah that was a concern of mine as well. But we'll try it out and see how it goes.

I mean, I feel like you wouldn't be in the RP if you don't want to read the posts.

^ditto^

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually agree with Hillan. A summary of what's going on in the RP is a lovely idea, but ultimately self defeating in a collaborative work like this. What's the point in accepting players who don't actually want to put any effort into collaborating with their peers?

_{(I recognise that it was Stein that made the point originally, but saying 'Can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually agree with Stein' doesn't have the same snap that agreeing with Hilan does. Stein's actually intelligent.)}

I actually think that it's a really neat feature; the issue perhaps lies in that it's too detailed.

Something along the lines of a timeline could perhaps would better, for example:

---

The convoy arrives in Pointe Bordeaux and telepathically makes itself known to local Hyperhumans. Elsewhere in the city, Fairchild Electronics is promoting a household device used to neutralise Hyperhuman threats. The event is attracting a degree of unwanted attention.

A description of what happened on this day.

I feel this gives us all (as well as prospective late-comers to the story) an easy way with which to keep up/catch up with events IC, without removing the need to read recent posts in order to understand current events. It would also be considerably easier for Wraith to manage, as in the long-run writing a summary of each post would likely become rather tedious.

@Lord Wraith Here it is! Hopefully @Tyler won't kill me, now.

Joshua David Kain​

Wait, wait wait!

You mean, he has superpowers and he doesn't want them? He didn't get powers and immediately decide to fight crime!

Oh thank goodness lol

I have no issues with this CS, feel free to put Mr. Kain in the Character Tab. Accepted!

^{This is a weekly topic of discussion used to incite activity in the OOC and encourage players to interact with one another.}

• WEEK 1 | Going forward in the RP, what are you looking forward to seeing in terms of plot, antagonists, interaction and other elements?

Realised nobody had responded to this, so thought I would open up discussion since I think it'll be both interesting and useful to know what everyone has in mind.

Personally, I'm most excited about the interaction, since we're in the early stages. I'm particularly excited for Emory to meet the other characters; I feel his interactions with Zeke, Lucas and Grace will be particularly interesting, but I'm generally impressed by the entire cast and I can't wait to roleplay with everyone.

On a more plot-related thread of discussion, I'm looking forward to seeing what mischief can be caused at the Fairchild rally and sparking the beginnings of Emory's side-plot with his father. Overall, at the start of the roleplay, I'm just most excited about planting seeds and pulling at the first threads of the story, then watching it all unravel.

took the words right outta my mouth. :3

@Lord Wraith Thanks, I err, realised after I went to bed last night that I'd worded that wrong though. I didn't mean to ask about what Lisa and Harrison are doing, but about their overall personalities/relationship with each other sort of thing. If they're just names you grabbed for the purpose of naming NPCs, I will happily make stuff up... >.> :P Sorry about that confusion.

Also, I agree with Tyler's suggestion about the timeline being easier to maintain and actually more useful in the long run than brief post summaries. Don't put too much on yourself, eh, we can do the reading since we joined. ;) But timelines are love.

@Wade Wilson Whoo! Joshua is gonna fit in so well, ain't he? :P lol I was just wondering, since he doesn't like his own hyperhuman self and happens to agree with Kowalski about them all being monsters, does he have the occasional, uhhh, condescension, sneering sort of umm, looking down on or instant dislike of hyperhuman company, even if he's decided to join a convoy for his own safety? Would he not approve of others who are more obviously hypes? Or would he be more leery of someone he can't tell is or isn't or what they do? Curiousity ftw. Wording is hard. I hope that was understandable.

@Nemaisare I get your point, yeah, and that's kind of him in a nutshell. The only reason he goes near other Hypes is the mere factor of safety in numbers. Otherwise, he'll have nothing to do with them.

I guess this is a question more for @Tyler than @Lord Wraith, but I'm going to guess your collaborating on the fairchild electronics plot. So what dirt, if any, would Anthony find on FE as of him digging in his underground networks? Or is that a more private convo? ;P

• WEEK 1 | Going forward in the RP, what are you looking forward to seeing in terms of plot, antagonists, interaction and other elements?

While I'm not planning on dropping Marcus in the rally, I am hoping to find interesting and giving character interactions within the first few posts, so, I do agree with Tyler that the interactions are what I am the most excited about. I have no clue who I'm the most excited to interact with, though.Might be taking one or ten, in Marcus case, drinks with a fellow former PRCU-Student, or to get to know someone completely new. Maybe trying to his dull HIT instincts to try and figure everyone else out. I feel like he's either gonna have very easy to get along with each individual member of the cast, or very difficult.

As for the plot, I am looking forward to whatever shenanigans that will happen, even if I don't personally have any immediate plot-ideas.

Definitely the character interaction, since it's going to be a whole bunch of first impressions for the most part. I'm enjoying seeing everyone slip their way towards trouble, haha, but definitely curious about how the Fairchild fiasco will play out. I'm pretty certain it'll earn that title, but one never knows.

I like working towards close-knit groups or finding that one sore thumb or weakest link and watching how the other characters deal with them... So, definitely hoping for at least a little bit of drama-llama. Cuz why not? Journey slice of not entirely real life is my cup of tea, so really, however this plays out, I'll probably be sitting at my computer grinning like mad. I'm already enjoying see how everything's tying itself together, from an antagonist related to one of the characters, to the history and other NPCs, and just, it's fun. So, yeah...

Also, ever so slightly looking forward to seeing everyone's reaction the first time Lucas weirds at them. Biased, but *giggles* It amuses me, it does.
