Alright so far that’s some resounding requests for chances to interact more, which honestly pleases me greatly. I apologize for letting my worries grip me and pushing us forward quite so quickly!

I will gladly shift my gears and let things play out in a more organic way from this point forward. Seeing this as the checkpoint of the prologue is more than adequate with this in mind. What I’m taking from this is ‘Fading needs to relax because he stresses himself out and rushes his products’ and ‘Gosh dang it Fading, you always write too much ;) stop intimidating your players.’

I'm having a good time, the pacing of the posts doesn't bother me, but I think I'll agree that the story has shot forward a little.

<Snipped quote by Taka>

Yeah!

I think since they're close in age, and their parents work together, they might even have been play date partners when they were little. She might have had a history of clashing with Markus, even before his parents went missing, and Markus became the head of the household.

When that happened, Audrey stopped being welcome around the Ward house, and they would mostly just see each other at school.


That's perfect honestly. They are close but aren't close at the same time. Basically a strained friendship since they don't hang out as much anymore. Tho they share a friendship in Brown.

Alright, we’re a few months in and so far we’re having some good activity and I’m super excited with how this has all started in this prologue.

I like to field this question every so often in roleplays I run, TTRPG and otherwise; Everyone enjoying themselves so far? Any initial disappointments or joys? I know we’re early on roleplaywise, but we’ve all been hanging out for a few months and I just like to touch base with people. How’s the pacing? Am I dragging things out, or does it feel right? Etc.


I'm fine. I'm impatient on the powers and isekai part BUT, I'm also moving slowly right now so i can't say much. lol

Oh, I forgot about the Brown connection!

I will say, that's probably relatively recent, like the last year or so. I don't imagine Audrey has worked for Hickory any longer than that, she's only 16.

So it might be a lapsed friendship that has only recently reconnected.

@Fading Memory

Answer seriously, how confrontational can Audrey be with this guy before it becomes a problem for the story? Cause she's #notokay with what's currently happening, and is mainly remaining calm for Toby's benefit.

She can be as confrontational as she wants.

After the last series of responses about the pacing and people’s desires, at this point I’ll just declare that the outright compulsory aspect is fading at this point. Oh desire is still there, it’s calling for them specifically, but meta wise I’m cutting the puppet strings loose. There are still invisible walls around the city itself for the sake of the present narrative but I’m uninstalling the hard rails.

I’ll add this explicit text to the IC as a meta update so that people don’t miss it, when I have the time.

@PerfectThought I have a proposition: during the time skip, Audrey and Brown work together at gathering local folklore from older townsfolk. They could make a sort of Gravity Falls esque journal, comparing the stories people tell to their own experiences in Yo'Kibur during the prologue.

Like it a lot! Makes sense for both characters. And it establishes a good relationship post-time skip. B)

Yeah, exactly! Brown probably already knows what little writing there is on local stories, and his relationship with the Bilica family can help, too. Audrey would never be able to interview Stoat, lol. Plus just being generally more familiar with writing and record keeping.

Audrey, meanwhile, already has passing familiarity with a lot of Hickory's older friends, from running his errands, so she'll be doing a lot of the legwork for finding people and getting their stories.

EDIT: By the by, I'm good to keep this back and forth with Eckehart going, but anyone else can feel free to stop Audrey at any time.

I was similarly going to give a bit of time for others to post if they felt like it, and to focus on some other chores I had for the weekend.

“What? No. I mean, I don't think so. It's just weird to assume that everything down there is the same, because everything up here isn't. We could have cloacas for all we know.”

Hmm, haven't posted recently. Was originally going to wait for the plot to move forward. But now that we're taking it slower, thinking Brown might get accidentally split up or some. Take a meander through the city... Not sure.
