[OOC] You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

[freedomliveson]

Yep! Sorry for not making that clear enough :/

Haha, yep, I feel you there. I have a level 48 bounty hunter that needs to get leveled to 65 already xD

No worries on that front! When you return, you'll be greeted with a lot of feels from Yerbol. Just warning you

[The Elvenqueen]

Phew, good! I had a moment of doubt where I wasn't 100% sure but figured that made the most sense XD

I have returned and am working on something now! =D
I managed to hash out Roan and Ari's mom's entire relationship dynamic on my travels today too so I look forward to gradually revealing that as we go along!

Aww man, these two <'3 (shuffle is not kind to me either by throwing this song at me as I start to write this post, excuse me while I have a feels attack because it is actually perfect for this moment? O.O xD)

EDIT: Feels attack over, post achieved! May have teared up slightly writing it XD Big step forward for Ari (and Bol too?) to admit that to him out loud :P

[freedomliveson]

Those two indeed...man they're cute xD

Will post tomorrow!

[freedomliveson]

Yay for 200! :D

A few quick things:
-I figured that Roan would want to jump in and talk, seeing as seems to enjoy this scholarly type thing.
-I was thinking we could roll with your idea about Kator tracing lineages? Kator would probably identify a couple of Masters he knew he could trust, then follow the bloodlines to today. Sound ok?
-I was also thinking that one of the reasons why Renso hasn't just said "HEY BRACKNELL, THEY'RE OVER HERE!" is that his connection to Bracknell is atrophying. It seems like a Bracknell-ish type move to absorb whatever knowledge Kator has, then superimpose his own agenda. So instead of wiping the galaxy clean of all Force users to "balance" and eventually "kill" the Force, Bracknell chooses to purge the galaxy of opponents by murder, imprisonment or slavery while establishing the Galactic Alliance as, basically, his new Empire. What do you think?

[The Elvenqueen]

Woop 200!! *throws confetti*

Sounds great, seems like a thing Renso would want to do in order to preserve those who were most supportive of him.

Really like the idea of Bracknell slowly distancing himself from Renso since he's got what he wanted from him too, so let's roll with that! Could lead on nicely to why Renso is so keen on seeking out Ari and Bol and getting them on board with his thing insread of just killing them outright to remove the problem. Awesome, I shall be home in the next hour and shall start working on a response then! :3

[The Elvenqueen]

Gigantic brainfart and I may have gotten VERY technical there but I was trying to tie everybody into it somehow (because it's nice when everything has a reason rather than just being random coincidences XD) without making them all actually inter-related for obvious reasons haha

Tried to expand a teeny weeny bit on a reason for Bracknell being so frantic to get them out of the picture to stop them interfering with his own personal plans

Man, this thread has really evolved from what we first planned out for it, hasn't it? XD

[freedomliveson]

SERIOUSLY. I was thinking about that the other day. It evolved from these two kids fighting each other to a space drama where I THINK we're going to have establish a repository of some kind for all the lore we're writing XD

Don't think I'm going to get to post today, but I'll get you one tomorrow! (or post more today...you know what I mean)

Addendum: I just read your post and that was WELL done, my friend. That could've gotten really bogged down, but you made the connections really well! That'll also tie in VERY closely to what Ari and Yerbol are going to find out about his parents...*dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuun*

[The Elvenqueen]

I think we definitely are going to have to summarise all this lore somewhere/somehow or else we're going to get real confused and end up forgetting half of it pahaha XD

Sweet, no rush, whenever you get around to it! :P

I very nearly did get bogged down with trying to organise/word it all so it made sense, not gonna lie XD Ooooohhh, that sounds VERY interesting/ominous O_O I look forward to finding out more! *flails excitedly*

[freedomliveson]

Feel free to alter/shift/modify/add/take away from what I started!

Stuff's about to get reeaaaallllll! xD

[The Elvenqueen]

Oohhhh man the suspense is literally killing me right now xD stuff could get real bad real quick now o_O

Some things to consider pertaining to how we move them onwards:
-I assume this information dropping they're about to start doing would have to be directed mainly by Neta and Elara (since they know how that kind of schpeal works lol), and would eventually lead to more support for their little resistance from people within the Senate/Empire? Would they then have to extricate said new allies off world to their new base or could Ed, Bek and Kandar pull strings to get that done?
-I'm tempted to cut them a little slack and say that between them they manage to avoid getting caught too badly (maybe a few troopers or something at worst? Poor things have been beat around A LOT the past few days XD)
-Would Renso just be sitting back and watching things unfold for now till their info warfare ticks Bracknell off to the point of no return or would he try to contact Ari and Bol in another vision between now and the final confrontation with Bracknell/Soto?

[freedomliveson]

-Right! I assume the allies could find their way with support from the trio plus Neta and Elara's help

-Sure! I think that would work

-I would think Renso would try to reach out to Ari and Yerbol one last time to try and gauge their progress, seeing as he knows he's already lost Bracknell

[The Elvenqueen]

sweet, I shall allude (ellude? idk how to spell that word they both look funny to me lol) to both those things in my next post then :) and shall include a little montage of their starting their information warfare thing at the end then (weren't we going to smash some of it together in a way or other since that would take a couple months of slowly leaking stuff out? XD)

[The Elvenqueen]

Left it open-ended for you to add to the Renso dialogue if you wanted, figured he would want them to figure it out for themselves rather than spoon feeding them the answers? O: xD

[freedomliveson]

Awesome! Will post Sunday or Monday :)

[The Elvenqueen]

Cool, have a good weekend! <3

[freedomliveson]

Hey, so I'm currently on vacation and THOUGHT I'd have some posting time, but I do not :/

I think I SHOULD be able to get you something tomorrow...I think. I'm going to Canada for the rest of the week and...well, you get the point xD

Sorry for springing you on this last minute! I'll be sporadic for the next week or so, but I'll be back to consistency very soon. Thanks for understanding and I hope you have a good Christmas!

[The Elvenqueen]

Hey, not to worry! Never a rush on my end, have a good trip and have fun! :D

And if I don't hear from you before then, have a good Christmas too! :)

[freedomliveson]

Update: Flying back home tonight with both me and wife sick. Will be back ASAP. Send soup if possible xD

[The Elvenqueen]

Oh nooo! *makes you chicken soup* xD hope you feel better soon! D: and that you at least had a good Christmas despite being sick o:

[freedomliveson]

Just like Renso awakening from stasis after hundreds of years to bring order to the galaxy, so have I crawled out of my sickened stupor to emerge! Back to normal, might I add! Thanks not only for your patience, but for your well wishes. I'm basically 100% minus a few sniffles here and there. My wife isn't quite where I'm at, but I was the one who got sick first and...well, you know how that goes. Living with a person/other people means that once YOU get sick, others are going to get sick. Other than illness, our trip went wonderfully! Had a great time in Canada/Washington eating, playing video games and other such fun. How were your holidays?

Also, I'm back to posting regularly again, which means I want to reply right away, but need to clarify a few things before I launch:

-Our mid-season cliffhanger(aka my hiatus xD) featured Aria trying to reach out to Renso, successfully talking to him. I'm going to assume that Yerbol also contributes to the conversation before Renso pulls away again, but not before Renso encourages them to take the fight to Bracknell as hard as they can? I'll throw in some other details I've been thinking about once I get a post up(about what Renso will point them towards)

-AFTER that dust up, there's the planting of information on both Dromund Kaas and Coruscant. Would you like me to fast forward to that mission? Or do we want to just skip ahead a few months AFTER that mission?

-In either case, we did discuss(we did, right? Or did I dream that? xD) a time skip of a few months(5? 6?) wherein Yerbol, Aria and the rest of their growing contingent not only amass forces to fight against Bracknell, but make coordinated strikes against embedded leadership within the newly formed Galactic Alliance. How would you like to do that? I was thinking that assassinating a few leaders and leaking their allegiances along with breaking Force users out of prisons(because they can't ALL die...that'd be morbid), disrupting supply lines, that kind of thing.

-After all that chaos,I would think Bracknell just says "I'm done with you people" and launch a full on strike, which is when that final battle commences and...well, if I remember correctly, poor Roan dies and Ari takes her rightful vengeance with Yerbol fighting by her side(that'll be a fun scene to write).

Wphew! Just kinda spit it all out in one post. Hope that's alright!

Edit: I know it's not "Star Wars" per se, but this soundtrack for a DLC in the Witcher 3 seems very appropriate for the chaos that's going to ensue as well as the calmness/serenity that our duo will have afterward(well, relatively). Feel free to take a listen whenever :)
