@DeltaV I really liked the style you used, giving us each something to build off of for our post, and things our characters would be inclined to notice. I agree that we should try to stick to the same period between yours. I asked if I should take mine down until people want to do the 1 week-in posts. Like, we all do a round 2 days in, and then we all do a round 1 week in, etc. If that is preferred, I am happy to pull mine down for a little while. I think as long as we all put roughly when it is taking place, that would be helpful too.

And like @Shorticus said, let us know which NPCs are open for us, or which you prefer to play. For example when Eve goes to talk to the captain, should she just handle the back and forth or is that with you? When Rhys is going to look for a crew member to ask about sea sickness, should I write what he can find, or do you want to handle that? You can always have some NPCs that are you and others that are open, just let us know here or maybe make an NPC post in the Character section with who is in control of each major NPC/category of NPC.

Very nice, accepted! Sorry about missing you on the first pass through what I'd missed. I'll work you in at the same time as the other new character.

Alright, so anyone else wanting to converse with the captain, go on ahead. I'll simply imply the conversation's direction in my next post and have Eve be in the same time point as the rest of you. So he's free. :)

Just posted, and hopefully we'll have this cleared up soon. Feel free to intervene in Amos' impending conversation if you wish to.

I see no reason why she would, honestly. She hides unless called, and she has no experience with boats. She wouldn't butt in to agree or disagree on Amos's conversation.
Rory, on the other hand XD I don't know, he would be thrilled about the mediocre action.

Just shoving my nose in here to smell what's cooking.

I intend to post again to follow up regarding Amos, but I was hoping to hear something concrete from @deltav regarding possession of the crew NPCs.

Alrighty, another post is up. As far as possession of NPCs goes, the commandeering of minor characters is fine so long as they act believably, and if you'd like to conduct business in a timely manner with someone more important you can either ask me for permission to act for them or we could work together on a compiled post. Apologies for not making this clearer.

Your characters will find that the market probably contains most anything they could find critical, though within reason (and perhaps not at an entirely fair price!) I'll go ahead and quantify the money here by stating that everyone has thirty coins to spend the pouches they were given by the king -- excepting Eve, who being affluent has brought sixty. If you want a price on something specific, PM me and I'll give you a quote.

This is also when @Warriorbulb and @Hueman can jump in.

Thanks for clarifying that!

I'll start on a post some time tonight or tomorrow.

Sorry about not getting a post up when promised. I got distracted, and then I got sick.

I've set aside time to work on my post today, however.

Sorry if I've been inactive in yall's RP for a little while, was a little depressed this weekend and had some personal problems. Next week I'll also be quite busy as I'm traveling out of the contiguous US. So, as I understand it, the RP talk amongst characters goes on in PMs?

@WarriorbulbIt's all good, everyone is getting into the swing of things, it seems. RP talk amongst characters can be PM or in the thread. It is up to you. I went to PM because I felt like it would bog down the thread to have a bunch of back and forths in there, but you do what feels right to you.

When I inquired earlier, I don't remember anyone having a problem with PMs being used, so pick who you'd like to talk to and go for it!

Beer, beer, beer; tiddly beer, beer, beer!

@DeltaV Let me know what you'd like the cost to total to between the night of boozing (spending overmuch on his companions and himself) and the stuff he bought in town.

Working on a reply now, will post in a day or so. I'm looking to gather some answers to questions before i throw my lot in.

@Eirene@Shorticus@HangYourSecrets Which one of you is the clan leader? I need someone for Eve to speak with about an issue, and I don't know who would be the 'leader'. I assumed Heinz, but Amos seems to be swiftly taking the lead.

@Carantathraiel I wouldn't call Cormac the leader, but he's a man of action, and he's actually supposed to be a smart guy. (See: Intelligent trait.) If you wanted something done, he'd be an option. Just... He's not who you'd pick to be in charge, definitely at least when you first meet him.

@Shorticus I doubt Eve would approach him anyway, hahaha. She's got a good sense of smell, and she probably doubts his competency. However, I see a way it would work. I may message you if I decide to go to Cormac.

Thanks for not bothering to include Rhys in the running, @Carantathraiel :P

I vote Amos. The guy who knows how hard it is to stitch things up is a good person to decide when something is too risky. I might say Heinz, but I don't feel like I know him well-enough yet.

@Pascal You're welcome ;P

I'm inclined to agree. Amos seems to be leader material. Always trust the guy that will prevent your untimely death.

Notably... Nobody actually has any sort of trait that boosts leadership quality. If we ever need to actually talk our way out of trouble, we're kind'a boned.

We should have noticed this long ago, shouldn't we?
