One other important question, before I get started: Are we going to end up leapfrogging over this interaction, too? Because, like, I don't really want to go and write a full post of Argo striking up a conversation with the NPC if we're just gonna timeskip forward again, since I sorta need someone to play off to make this character work and every time we skip it basically wipes any progress towards doing so.

EDIT: Sorry blight bug, my bad. You go first.

Hi.

I was wondering if I could join this Rp, and if I could create two characters...

@Blight Bug@Shortcake
I would refer you to my post from over 5 days ago:

I would like to move the RP forward by Sunday.
We have 3 groups atm: leadership trio, duo in the room and the two weirdos. Do you think you can wrap up your parts before then?

Only the two new players posted since and half of the players seemed to have dropped off, leaving me with no clear picture of who wants to do what. Even for Dodo and Thames I was uncertain if they wanted to leave the island, join another gang or just mess around, or even stay with the Orphans but they just didn't give a fuck about the old man dying.

Day before yesterday I said I will update and asked if everyone was fine with where their characters are right now or if they want more time to post and nobody posted or asked for more time. I understand that it's not the fault of people who remained in the RP that things didn't get resolved, but the choice was either to wait potentially forever (and let the RP die) or just move things along in a way that allows for people to make up their own resolutions for the Introduction. I hope I won't have to do it again in the future because for me the most interesting thing is to see how PCs interact with each other and resolve the problems together.

If you want to leave the island and join another gang, you can make a post about Dodo doing that.

@Ayame@Kangutso
The RP is still open, but for now I only accept one character per player. I'll check CSs later today.

No, see, you're misunderstanding. The issue isn't time or anything like that.
What I'm asking is: Will this NPC interact with Argo if Argo interacts with him? Previously, rather than getting an interaction with Mary (or anyone else), Argo was ignored and hit with a timeskip, instead. Is this going to happen if Argo interacts with the unnamed pretty boy and his thug entourage, as well? This is something that's sort of important for me to know, you know?

@Shortcake No, there will be no timeskip now and you can interact with him. You are free to go about dealing with him however you wish. Negotiate, beat him up, seduce him, charm him with your naivete, etc.
Though if another player decides to get violent there won't be much room for talk.

@Ghost Queen I'm counting anyone who posted on the previous page after my "Just a heads up" post as still around.

I'm going to wait before posting anything just because Trog is going to stir up trouble if he is there by himself. Diplomatic solutions are not in his current skillset.

I think

Sen might try talking. I've decided she'd stick around for a few days, just to see what'd happen.

Post'll be up in about an hour or so.

EDIT: And a post

Sen talks a bit, and tries to get a bit of information outta this guy.

Look an update time skip doesn't necessarily mean skip past all of the potential interactions; Hell this is technically two timeskips, a lot of things could've gone down by two days.

Such as say, the orphans poking around for potential backers, like say by the ones who were in the room with Mary and instead of getting hooks about where to go looking for backers it were left with no leads on where to search.

Or for something more trivial such as if there were any field mice to hunt after, which would've provided another course of action. Setting up a large amount of hooks around the world, alongside having more NPC interactions are important as you can drive events naturally.

Say if you provided a lead for gathering backers, that would naturally lead to this Vengeance gang showing up; as the lead would inspire players to act and follow it. In turn there is a logical progression of other gangs hearing and seeing the orphans act in a different manner which would give credit to the idea Fritz was dead.

But because there weren't these various breadcrumbs of possible hooks and actions about the whole thing about the arrival feels janky.

Or you can do what I do.

That is, I ask in the chat if anybody has any ideas and make encourage players to talk to me as the GM so we can plan out a course of action according to the players'/characters' goals instead of saying "This thing happened then that thing happened." You were on the right track giving Blight Bug an idea of scenery. You could follow up on that, making more NPCs for players to interact with.

I think Day 2 is the day after Fritz died, his death being on the (late) night of Day 1.

@AyameIf you agree that I am the one who controls the "seeing the flickers of the future" part of your power, your character is accepted.

Since Trog is a blacksmith's apprentice, where would you put the blacksmith in relation to the Orphanage?

@Ghost Queen Oh. Hm, ground level, very close. Probably looks at the clearing where the Vengeance blokes are currently in.
