As with Witty, I don't think learning what's going to happen through a sort of Questionnaire lens should be the case; on the opposite end, however, I don't mind your own questions to gain further insight, expand some ideas on how things are going to go, et-cetera. Still, I'll have to see it first-hand before I can further my understanding of it, and thus, form a proper opinion on the subject.

Good points all! I'll think about it a bit more, probably make it an optional thing to participate in, and maybe only occasionally for certain posts or situations where more info behind the scenes might help greatly in moving plot -- but not always in a direction you'd expect. The primary inspiration here is in-person tabletop, where the GM and players have the opportunity to clarify with one another what's happening and why, after the narrative has been told.

It seems, as has been indicated, that it's the kind of thing that'd need to be put in practice before it can be judged too much. We'll try it a little to begin with, and expand or quit according to what feels right. :D

I'm game. Besides, even if it isn't exactly what we envision, there's no reason we can't still do the equivalent of OOC table top discussion here in the OOC; in my experience people do that anyway to some extent naturally. It'll be fiiiiine.

Heya boss. Like i think that what also helps is if we establish the tone and set it in motion.

Cuz like for the other RP with you that I'm in , it's all wild, whacky and whimsical, but for this one... it sounds all dreary and hopeless. Ever seen that movie The Road? Ughs. Kinda like that.

Washed ashore, stranded on an island with Peter pan lost boys kinda children sounds kinda frightening really to me. Unlessssss... like of course the tone is meant to be Peter Pan? BUT! Like the music and art imagery samples seems less like Peter Pan and more like Pan's Labyrinth...

And like if that is the tone you're goin for then I see why ya wanna 'frame' the progression of the RP. Like a director. But a liberally creative one ;DD

But like that said, daBomba is down for whatever we get going :]

I read the book "The Road" and after I finished I was depressed for a week. xD Nooo let's not do that!

Pan's Labyrinth is more like it! Spooky fantasy, in general -- but we'll definitely have some funny scenes and silly NPCs as well! The same tone constantly gets monotonous imho. We'll probably feel it out as the story progresses.

Hopefully IC will start up soon! :D

Opener post is up! :D Here's a chance to introduce characters and get your bearings. If there's any more info about the surroundings you'd like to include in your post but wasn't mentioned, definitely ask!

Oh, and please don't eat the goat. (but nobody's stopping you) xD

I find it convenient that Varic and Liliana are the first to meet.

I'll give the others a few hours to post while I decide how I want to play this interaction. If there's no activity by then we'll have a go.

I figure it's worth mentioning that I made a small edit concerning the fact that Liliana is actually cleaner than she was aboard the ship, now that she's been soaked in the ocean.

@WittyReference I can't wait to see how this goes :)
