[OOC] 🦄 Soulless Regency - Merged With T.S.

[Morose]

Congratulations, @Sigil!

[mnkee]

Gah!! Jeanette was killed off while I was away!! Fyror is down a friend! Damn. D:

[rivaan]

@mnkee Yep TT_TT, but hey at least she died fighting!

[Lady Absinthia]

@mnkee I will be doing a post delete request for your last post from the mods. (Thalkens post is wrong. Roll indicated that his sister was in the ballroom on the same floor as Thalken, just under where the soulless appeared. You have her on the second, which would have meant him going through multiple rooms and up stairs directly passed Mary and Virginia to get there.)

Once a mod deletes, you can repost Fyror and Millicent. Thalkens will need a correction before reposting.

[mnkee]

@Lady Amalthea AAAH! Sorry about that. I misunderstood what you had wrote. XD

[Lady Absinthia]

@mnkee Alright, after you make the correction, you are clear to repost.

[mnkee]

@Lady Amalthea I corrected it and reposted it.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Sigil @Morose @mnkee @Sputnik @rivaan - Alright a couple of things...

1) Sigil is finishing up his new character, and Rivaan is working on his. So hopefully we will be bringing in two new characters very soon.

2) Since no one is in the direct line of Soulless currently, and the Soulless are fleeing the scene, we have a couple options. Do you pursue or not? I will be updating today, all locations. The ton will be calming down this round, as per the LLA rolls. In fact it will be calming down very quickly (19). So it will be up to you to what happens now. Once the new IC goes up, tag me if you are going to pursue. Pursuing will mean you are still in active battle mode and will need rolls. If not, it will depend on what you do if you need rolls or not. Searching, investigating, and so forth will require rolls. Now, if you are not going to do either and just basically "wrap things up" you can go about with normal Rping (and collab or not if you wish)

As far as counters go - Anything with a roll needed, your counter will be reset this round (last round for counter reset for a bit) - The rest will not be reset. Why I need you to tag me today to let me know what your plan is. That way I am counting your counter on the right day mark.

Those collabing but not needing rolls, let me know before either of your counters from your last post hit day 5, after that collabs cannot be accepted.

Depending on what you chose depends on how quickly we wrap today up in RP and move on to Day 2.

If you have a question on anything: if a roll is needed for something, if you are collabing, or just where your current counter is, ask.

[mnkee]

@Lady Amalthea I have several things to say and ask after reading that post.

1.) Lord Rutherford has got me like--


2.) Do I need to do rolls for Fyror when it comes to moving Mrs. Wyndham?

3.) Seeing as the ton are blaming each other, Thalken's father is probably going to get mercenary type jobs lined up pretty quickly. Maybe we can actually discuss arrangements for that at some point in the RP?

4.) On a side note, wouldn't be hilarious if the Talink family, more specifically Thalken, got invited to a dinner party at the Wyndham's or Crypt's. XD

Okay. I am done now.

[Lady Absinthia]

@mnkee

1) Yup, think he is going to have everyone like that.

2) No, not at this point

3) Yeah, whenever you want to drop me a pm

4) Lmao, that would be interesting

[Morose]

I think everyone should want to attend a dinner party with the Crypts! *nods*

[mnkee]

@Lady Amalthea I feel that the major reason why Thalken's father would even attend the events of the Season is to strike some kind of deal or get some kind of mercenary work. Granted, this Soulless attack could have thwarted his plans. Hmmm... :/

@Morose I have a potential idea. If Virginia truly wants to save Millicent from Lord Rutherford perhaps she could do business with the Talinks to resolve that issue. Doesn't necessarily have to be full out assassination. That would probably raise too much suspicion. She could hire the Talinks to gather intelligence on Lord Rutherford. ;)

I want Thalken and Virginia to meet somehow. I assume she would know his father Beowulf from the previous time the Crypts did business with the Talinks. Perhaps she would recognize him at Almack's or he would recognize her? I am trying to come up with ideas. XD

[Morose]

@Lady Amalthea Sigil and I are collabing Mary and Virginia.

@mnkee I've actually been considering having her approach the Talinks in regards to Rutherford. But at the same time, I can see her wanting to handle Rutherford by herself. She and Mosi already wanted to murder him, now with Mosi gone, I think she'd see it as her duty to Mosi to see it through.

However, I do think it's likely that when she confides in Alfred, he'd likely contact the Talinks to have them meet with her. But that would likely be something that we'd have to set up for day 2.

As for recognizing each other - didn't Thalken already see Virginia and not recognize her? So I don't really know if we could go that way, without me feeling like it's a near metagame. Ah, misread. It'd depend on how recent the last Crypt family hit was. Since before her parents vanished, Thalken's father would have met with Virginia's father.

I do have another idea, though, that could suffice. I believe @Sigil mentioned earlier either in the chat or in the OOC how marriage would solve a lot of Crypt family problems. And while Virginia isn't considering courtship, the Crypt family is fairly wealthy, has an earldom, connections, and so forth. Assuming her father is dead, the earldom should go to her five year old brother. But with life expectancy and Crypt family habits/hobbies, there's still a good chance that James might die before being able to possess the title, meaning it would go to Virginia - so from an outsider perspective, marrying off a son into the Crypt family could be incredibly beneficial. Especially since the Talink family sees them as more criminal.

We can PM and plot to get them to meet each other if you'd like, of course, but I think there's still a fair chance they'll run into each other before the day closes out. After all, she'll be the pale girl with corpses and axes. Definitely draws attention.

Another idea - if Virginia does send James off to train, she'll likely hold some sort of event to celebrate him leaving. The Talinks may be invited to that. It'd involve a good old mamushka, of course (though the British Crypts tend to use axes instead of knives, since most of them trained in the Colonies).

Sorry, this is getting scatterbrained lol.

However, I do think it's likely that when she confides in Alfred, he'd likely contact the Talinks to have them meet with her. But that would likely be something that we'd have to set up for day 2.

@Morose

That could definitely work. ;)

I have actually previously considered Thalken's father urging him to marry into the Crypt family. Maybe even trying to make a deal of some sort to make it happen. Oh man though, Thalken will be pissed. XD

[Morose]

@mnkee I mean, both options are certainly possible. :P Perhaps the disposal of Rutherford in exchange for her hand. We could do both options, one or the other, or neither. Any route is good with me. ^^

[Lady Absinthia]

@Morose Correction, if James dies, Virginia looses everything. Title and all holdings would pass to the next male heir - so an uncle or distant cousin. Has to be a male heir.

[Sigil]

@Lady Amalthea

This is going to sound like an odd request. Would it be possible to remove one or more Rusyn Trained skill slots in favor of Basic skills? A lot of these Trained skills are not in line with his character concept, and I can't really see this guy putting in the time to learn them, when he has other responsibilities.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Sigil If you were asking to move basic to trained I would have to say no since the trained one's are very specific. Yet for trained to basic? Yeah, that I can approve. 2:1 ratio. For each trained you drop, you can pick up two basic. New Age are very different from the rest.

[mnkee]

@Morose I have been thinking and daydreaming about Thalken and Virginia meeting for the first time. I think for sure that on Day 2 the Talink family should be contacted to deal with Lord Rutherford and that can be the first time they meet. I could see where Thalken's father could bring up the possibility of Thalken or even Thalcona marrying into the Crypt family. Let's just say that Thalken won't take it well. XD

I couldn't help myself

TADA!!

[Lady Absinthia]

I still have to wonder why anyone would be dealing with Rutherford. Sure Ic he is an ass, beyond so. Having said that, there has yet to be anything really he has done in the presence of others that would warrant it. I am fearing major meta gaming going on with all the plotting. I'm just saying be careful. I see a lot of planning going on but it all wreaks of metagaming and forced ships.
