[OOC] Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

[EliteCommander]

It could be interesting to bring perhaps one or two characters we've already met, like Gallus, or perhaps someone Sabine knows? Or both.

[Muttonhawk]

I guess we could. They don't have an awful lot of depth, but that's not a problem. I know I could play Gallus at least. If you're referring to picking one of Sabine's friends rather than specifically a scholar's loft colleague, then I would ask that you play as that character. Playing all of Sabine's friends gets boring. I'd rather more of Sabine's interactions be done over posts rather than me writing all of it.

[EliteCommander]

Agreed. Though, I would like to take a more loose approach to playing the other pack. There won't be too much focus on them, since they are there mostly as a solution to the problem of having toddlers present. We could probably share most of them, except perhaps one each (like Gallus and the friend). Although...we do not really have a good track record of actually doing that. We do tend to pick and stick with characters.

Hopefully, their presence will not mean we have a lot extra to keep track of.

[Muttonhawk]

Perhaps we should agree not to give any of the less significant pack members any direct dialogue. If we just describe their behaviour rather than having them involved, it should be easier to share them.

[EliteCommander]

Maybe, though it might not be practical. I suppose we'll just have to see how it goes. It might not end up being so much of a big deal.

[Muttonhawk]

Yeah, probably.

Anyway, sorry for the short post, I've got some stuff to do this afternoon. Talk to you later!

[Muttonhawk]

There's not anything else I can think to add for the council's discussion of the journey. Feel free to skip if you're done as well.

[EliteCommander]

We should probably decide who is in Gallus' pack, or at least the demographics. There is Gallus himself, and I remember he had a Khajiit he was mentoring. Did you want to have a friend of Sabine's in the pack as well?

[Muttonhawk]

Yeah, Tzirret probably be about fifteen or sixteen by now. I guess he can come along. Having one of Sabine's friends join in as well would be good, but I'll leave that character in your hands.

Demographics? Hmm...

I don't much mind about race. As for skillsets, Gallus and at least one other would be experienced outdoors people. I guess it would be nice to have some kind of mage around. A dedicated healer, maybe. Tzirret would be following in Gallus' footsteps, but might be more sneaky and less experienced. The last one can be whatever you feel like. I think that makes five, that'll be enough.

What are your thoughts?

[EliteCommander]

Well, of Sabine's list of friends, Peiter wasn't at the pool. I suppose that would let me establish who he is. He wouldn't be old enough to be one of the more experienced ones, though he would be more skilled than Tzirret probably. Perhaps a spearman. The skillsets of the others can be as you suggest.

[Muttonhawk]

Sorry for the delay. I've got a huge assignment to do by tomorrow afternoon. I'll have to hold off on posting until then.

The good news is that this is the last big assignment for the semester. The bad news is that I'll be studying for exams after that. The conciliatory news is that I only have one exam!

@Muttonhawk

It's such a rollercoaster of emotion.

[Muttonhawk]

So, this assignment screwed me over and I couldn't finish a good solution. It's roughly two minutes to the midnight due date and my head hurts. I need to sleep before I even think about posting.

At least a good chunk of the marks are just from documentation...

[Muttonhawk]

Just for clarity, the exact truth about Peiter's relationship status is up to you. Gallus was lying through his teeth.

[EliteCommander]

I need to get to bed now, but I did manage to post first. Goodnight.

[Muttonhawk]

G'night!

[EliteCommander]

Good evening. How are things? I have an idea for an event or two that can occur during their journey, like in Leyawiin, for instance, and perhaps one along the road. Otherwise, though, I'm thinking this section of the RP will just be this mission, before the next major timeskip. Instead of having several major tasks one after another. So, this one shouldn't take an entire year.

[Muttonhawk]

Hey! Things are good. My exam is in two days, then I should be free for at least a week and a half. You?

The plans sound good. Maybe this time Ahnasha will fail to avoid her family, haha.

[EliteCommander]

I'm steadily working on projects, hoping to not have to rush on any of them. I have things to do tomorrow, but at the very least, I'm free for the night.

[Muttonhawk]

Cool. I'll get another post up, then I have to get back to study.
