[OOC] Pokémon: Hoenn - Make a Wish

[Mancala]

Hey there

[Phoenix]

@Kymera Love it. This is going to get interesting.

[Phoenix]

So, I'm going to plan not being able to post this weekend. So if you're thinking of posting, there's still time to get something in. ^^

[c3p-0h]

guess what's happening today! a post!

[Prints Avoid]

Welcome @Mancala

So my family member was back in the hospital... hoping this doesn't become a pattern, but yeah I'll try and post before the end of the weekend

[Phoenix]

@Prints Avoid No rush. After today, there's no way I'm emotionally stable enough to not stay in bed and do nothing. :'(

[c3p-0h]

ok so yesterday was busier than expected, but not to worry! i'm still working on it.

[LegionPothIX]

Been reading to get caught up but I have no idea where I fit in this story, or if I should even try to get incorporated into already ongoing events.

[Phoenix]

Well, everyone started with their own introductory posts and I've been replying to them relatively individually. If you you're interested in interacting with a certain character, you can PM them. You can PM me if you have an idea but want help brainstorming. This story is really run by the players and is generally sandboxy.
But you could start by describing where she is and what she's doing/planning in the immediate future and will go from there. Just a post to get a feel for the character and the setting.

@c3p-0h Awesome post! Very well written (not that you've never made a good post). I'm just saying it read well for an intense action scene. ^^

[c3p-0h]

@Phoenix haha thanks! Hopefully it was worth the wait xP. Haven... is so not an action star. Dummy's dead exhausted already, in a storm, no shoes, only in a big plush robe. She only caught up to the dude because he cut his leg pretty bad on the window glass.

Anyway I kept it open ended who the thief was, where he was going, and why he wanted the egg because I wasn't sure if you had plans for that. Feel free to make Haven's life harder lol. Or not.

Tbh the quality has been quite high. I can't speak so much for myself as I haven't really delved into anything meaty yet. I'm probably the furthest behind storywise of the original players. But believe me, once Jin gets into a mystery, I'll be picking up my pace.

[Phoenix]

@c3p-0h Haha! Yeah, I could tell. Seems to be "hot headed" in that way. I liked how you pulled off the fact she's chasing headlong into something she's totally unprepared for but still calm enough to make quick decisions that solves a problem with the least resistance. It really showed a lot of character development. I just wanted to voice my appreciations for your efforts. ^^

@Xan the G Although, I'm not helping much either. I'm at a loss of how to get him to where he needs to go. I'm still brainstorming of things I can do to make it happen. I'll probably implement a small time skip to get it going. I feel bad for failing you. :(

[c3p-0h]

@Phoenix thanks! i was actually kinda struggling with making sure her character was consistent with previous posts. because in less adrenaline heavy situations, she more subdued and easy going. but at the same time, her decisions are pretty reckless. going into a storm unprepared (twice), running away from home (twice)… but every time it's because she thinks there's something that has to be done – that there's something she's responsible for. she only gets away with being so reckless because she's creative and determined. she's hot headed but with a cool demeanor, and it's interesting trying to strike a balance between the two.

i'm rambling. this is me rambling. but i just needed somewhere to spew my thoughts as i try to properly get a hold of haven's character. always takes me a few posts before i really discover who a character is, lol.

@Phoenix

The best thing to do is to consider Jin's story like a side event in Fallout or Skyrim; everyone else's story is a legit mission, Jin's story is kind of like sitting around in a town long enough to see a special interaction between npcs.

...lol in other words, write as if my character wasn't important, just write what the NPCs would normally do, and I'll rp Jin intervening like a detective would!

@Xan the G

I know I'm having a blast with you guys and appreciate you putting up with me while I get the hang of roleplaying again!

[c3p-0h]

cool post @LegionPothIX!
also, i added an image to haven's cs, for easy reference if anyone's interested. three of her four pokemon history sections are still unfinished lmao. maybe someday… someday i'll finish them.

[Phoenix]

So, I've got @Xan the G's portion done. @c3p-0h and I are going to work on a post (or a couple posts) together.
I've just got to make a response for @Kymera, and then I'll be caught up.

I sent a PM to @LegionPothIX so that we might discuss some things.

Giving @Prints Avoid time to sort out personal life. Not expecting a post (just wishing you don't disappear xP)

Assuming @DepressedSoviet is no longer with us.

I'll add the new character I introduced in my last post at some point. Might not do it until later when I feel like it, however. xP

Just wanted to make a little list so I know what I'm doing and the rest of you know what I'm working on/understand at this point.

Hider

By the way, does anyone want to help me fill out my Pokedex by trading version exclusives/trade evolutions that I actually have prepared?

[Kymera]

Hope everyone is enjoying their break!!

[c3p-0h]

I'm at Disneyland. Fun. Exhausted. Waiting for a parade. Everyone else?
