@Balthazar007 The first scenario I thought of was for them to be close childhood friends (maybe Bolis being an older brother figure). Maybe the dads were close friends before that and that encouraged their friendship. Or if he's a bit older than I'm thinking, Bolis could have been introduced by his Dad for tactical/political gains. 7 to 8 years sounds like a good number for these scenarios.

How about, since my character is 8 years older than your's, we go with they are good acquaintance. Both from Sutisu capitol, they may not have been formally introduced, but they met at one of the many galas/balls. Bolis or Sun was hiding away from the party, and the other one also stumbled upon the same hiding spot. This desire to escape the crowd is what they bonded over. They continued to have these encounters over the years, forming a quiet bond and a mutual respect. They didn't hang out together as friends outside these gatherings.

That first meeting was when Bolis was 15 and Sun was 7. Bolis stayed in Sutisu city till he was 23, studying logistics, like his family usually does. When he reached a certain level, he left to go join the military. So this would put Sun at 15, and they would have been "friends" for eight years.

They wouldn't speak to each other again until a few months after Sun gained control of the crystal. By this time, Bolis was already a high ranking officer, but not a General. Bolis offered his condolences, but they didn't start hanging out or anything. They both had too much going on in their lives. They did, however, start calling each other on occasion, to stay in touch.

Since Bolis became a general (2 years ago), Sun has started visiting him in person once every few months or so, at Bolis's request. While other Generals see Sun as a mear tool that isn't doing enough for his nation, Bolis sees a young man, a friend, who has had a great burden thrust upon him. He sees Sun's potential to help the war, but he also doesn't want to push the young man into doing anything he doesn't want to do.

How does a that sound? Anything to add/change?

@Balthazar007 I like this... I like this alot. Nothing to add or change. Sorry for the wait. Gonna look at Bolis CS really quick and then get a post out.

I'll try to get a post out tomorrow, various things happened today

You're totally fine my friend. Whenever you are ready. 🙂

I will try to get a post out within the weekend.

Heard that. Sounds good!

@Spin The Wheel, Oh, you've brought the timeline forward a few hours in your location. That is completely fine by me. For everyone reading this, you can absolutely move your story arcs along, so long as you don't move them more than about 18 hours or so. I'm looking at @Renny on this one. When you respond as Sun, you can summarize everything they talk about for that hour and skip to where General Bolis is actually using Sun's help. I picture them looking out his window, which overlooks a vast "courtyard" of sorts, enough to fit about 100,000 soldiers.

Caution: When players start to interact with one another, make sure your partners (i.e. other players with characters your character is interacting with) are okay with however long you would like to push the story.
Edit: If you're roleplaying alone (i.e. with only my NPCs) then you don't have to ask me first.

My bad, that was me misreading. I can change it if it'll be more convenient for you, it doesn't really make a difference to me

No no, you're fine. Its actually a good example of how you can all move along the timelines of individual storylines, as long as you're at different locations. It was early afternoon in Tempum City; now it's late afternoon. Works for me!

Also, the only parts of town that would be fairly empty at this point would be places were people primarily live, sort of like suburbs in the middle of the city. And fyi, Mougin has been followed. Let's see how you respond to my next post. lol

@Balthazar007 I've posted. Right now I'm looking at having some discussion with Vertus if possible (i set up your appearance rather well I think), then have them head to the car in front of Jorath's where the security is at, and have them drive to either the airport or the docks. I am open to either form of travel really.

If the family travels to Sutisu by ship, Zara can probably arrive at Leemo City straight up and meet with Suns at some point soon @Renny. Otherwise if they travel on a plane they would most probably go to the Sutisu capital itself to start their vacation from.

Of course, they could as well travel by portal, as I think Jorath has the money necessary to facilitate this form of transportation. This would get us at our destination without having to waste time on "travel narration".

Quick correction. His name is Verus, not Vertus. You switch between the two. No biggie.

I think it would be better to travel by air. As to the destination, I believe Sun's next stop is to Eligiro City. Isn't that right @Renny? Or would you be willing to change his next destination to Sutisu Capitol? Maybe he could stop in Sutisu Capitol for the day of the festival and to see his family, before going to Eligiro City the next day?

I'll have a post up by Tuesday, everyone.

Thanks, i've fixed it

@Spin The Wheel So, I think there would be a good chance that Mougin wouldn't be able to stop the snake-girl. There's probably a 10% chance that he might notice her and stop her from cutting his bag. Then, depending on how his reflexes match up to her escaping skills, I'd say he only has a 20% chance of catching her before she gets away.

Do you agree with these numbers? Keep in mind, these gang members do things like this on the daily, while this is Mougin's first encounter with the outside world. If you believe his odds of success should be higher, let me know why.

I will then roll a d100, using this site's dice roll program. The result(s) will reflect his success/failure in this situation. Do you have any questions?

If he used breath of the wind then he'd have better odds, but he doesn't have much of a reason to do that right now so that sounds about right. It also 0robably wouldn't have helped much anyway. She might end up having to dig through his clothes a bit though.

Okay, I'll increase his odds of noticing her and stopping her from getting to his bag by 5% since it's under clothing. I wasn't thinking about that. However, it wouldn't deter a skilled thief.

So, he has a 15% chance of stopping her initial attempt and a 20% chance of reacting quick enough to stop her if she succeeds. Therefore, the first roll will have to be 85 or more, and the second roll (if needed) will have to be 80 or over. Here we go...

Noticing the Snake-woman: roleplayerguild.com/rolls/24736
Catching the Snake-woman: n/a

Results: With a roll of 86, Mougin notices the snake-girl's attempt to steal from him and narrowly avoids this from happening. Perhaps he heard his clothes starting to be cut and reacted quickly enough? The specifics are up to you, but it should be a close call.

Alright everyone, I will be posting again tonight, even if it's just to respond to @Spin The Wheel's most recent post.

I'd like if everyone could get one more post out, before we take a short break. Since tomorrow is Christmas and you may be busy with family, I'll say that you can get your last post out by Tuesday if you want.

After that, my next post will be Jan 2nd, where I will fast-forward things to the next day, the actual Armistice Day.

So your last post for this month should kind of give us an idea of what you'll be doing for the next 20hrs or so. If you don't get a post up, that is okay too, your first post next month can fill in the gap.

Merry xmas !!!

Merry xmas !!!

Indeed! ⛄🎅🦌

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays all. Sorry for my lateness, I see now I'll just be a hinderance to the pace, IC time-system, and plot, regardless of the leniency. I'm stepping away from the RP, have fun guys and thanks @Balthazar007 for the consideration.

I do hope you reconsider. There truly is no rush in this RP. I want multiple story arcs going on at once, and that inevitably means they will be going at different paces.

If you change your mind, feel free to jump back in after Jan 2nd.
