[OOC] Tin Dragon Detective Agency

[Mokley]

Thanks for contributing! Alice has been awesome, sad to see her go. Good luck on future adventures! :)

[NorthernGR]

@Mokley Is the fur Uwen found red just because its red fur, or is it red because its got blood on it? I'm assuming its the first but I'm just checking.

[Mokley]

@NorthernGR Good question! The fur is red, there is no blood. :3

[NorthernGR]

Got it! Thanks.

[KoL]

Well, this RP is really interesting and intriguing, but I guess I'll take my leave as well. Without Windel's Alice around, I suddenly lost the interest in moving forward as well.

Apologies for any complications. Hopefully we can play together again in the future.

Farewell.

[Greenie]

@Mokley Maybe we should find out who is still staying?

That being said, I am. I don't mind the slow pace, that's one of the reasons I joined. Sometimes​ it's hard for me to post even once a week but I do still love being part of a fun RP.

[DepressedSoviet]

@GreenieAgreed. I don't understand why people act like an RP that doesn't have a post a day is dead. I get wanting to keep a consistant schedule, and there IS such a thing as too slow, but not everything needs to be at speedposter levels.

[Mokley]

KoL, sad to see ya go! Rhea's been a great sleuth, and I was looking forward to coffee! xD Hope to see ya again soon! Good luck in future adventures!

@Greenie@DepressedSoviet Not everyone will be equally motivated by the same things, and personally I support leaving something you've lost interest in rather than forcing yourself to write -- it's a game, after all! Btw I'm super glad you guys are here! @NorthernGR you too. ;)

Three characters is still a very good number to continue with, imho! Everyone was previously tagged here in the OOC, so if they're still interested they're always welcome to pop back in at any time.

I'll also poke the interest check for new characters, then . . . figure out later how to write them in. In the meantime, we're good to go!

@Mokley

Oh yeah for sure! Nothing is worse than feeling forced to stay in a game. To those who are leaving, hope you guys have fun in you other games!

I was just worried that the rp may go bye bye because of only a few people. It's happened a few times to rps I really liked. Anyway, glad that we will still be trooping on! The group at is a little​ comical tbh, with it's remaining members :"D

[KoL]

@Mokley

Nah, thinking again I guess that I can still keep on going for a bit more. The loss of my choice partner is a quite a downer, but I'm still a bit curious.

I don't know how long it'll last, but for the time being I'm still in.

[Mokley]

@KoL Woohoooo! :D Welcome back!

[NorthernGR]

Welcome back! Hooray, More treats for Uwen then!

Me personally, 3-5 characters has always been the sweet spot. Easy to keep track of everyone, keep a good pace, things never got too bloated, and you still had enough people to bounce off of. So I'm perfectly fine with the current number of people.

I'll try to get a post out soon. Time to take a looksy down a well.

[Sketcher]

Finally finished the drawings and character!

Why are you filling out this application?
I heard the TDDA was looking for new help, and I couldn't risk missing this chance to apply. What better learning experience is there for a fellow brain tickler than working at the Tin Dragon?

What do you know about the Tin Dragon Detective Agency?
I know it's a place for puzzle-solvers.

You're investigating the death of a young nobleman at his mansion. His wife tells you he had fallen down drunk after coming home from the pub. The butler tells you he'd never gone out, and simply dropped dead after his tea. The postman tells you he'd seen the young nobleman in an argument with a fairy earlier that day. What do you do next? Why? There is no wrong answer.
It would be most important to clear up the confusion at home. Since their account of even the moment of death is different, in all likelihood, one is lying. If we find out that the liar is lying in out of nefarious reasons, I would write off the argument with the fairy as a red herring. However it's always possible that someone's lying for a stupid reason like covering some small mistake, since some people might not care if some murderer is caught or not. The best way to go about doing this would be to look at the place where the nobleman died and look at his position and any items near him (such as the supposedly broken tea glass and what would be left of the tea in it).

If that turns out to be a dead end, the second path would be to go to the pub that the wife says he went. There I'd ask the bartender what he drank and ate and if he was with anyone. If he was with anyone, go after that lead and if otherwise, retrace his steps going home. If what killed him wasn't ingested (assuming the body is clean of any cuts or puncture marks) at home or at the pub, that only leaves the road.

The officer's son you're sworn to protect and your mother are both hanging from a cliff. You have time to save one before they fall. Which do you save?
The son.

What is your favorite tea?
Sage Tea -- No sugar

Please fold this application into an envelope and drop into your city's Tin Dragon tip box before midnight. You will receive our response within the week.

[Mokley]

@Sketcher hey hi welcome! Albert seems pretty cool - approved! Feel free to post him in the characters tab.

Now the hard part. Would you rather assume Al has been with us all along, and just pick up with an introductory post on what you've been up to (in game the characters only arrived a few hours ago) -- or would you rather be the late arrival? XD

Either way, later today I'll try to add you to the first ic post.

[Sketcher]

@Mokley Thanks ^_^ I'd rather have him be a late comer. No need to mess up continuity AND miss out on an opportunity to write something like a late arrival with one fell swoop :D

[Greenie]

Yay new player :D *showers in confetti*

[NorthernGR]

*also throws confetti*

[Mokley]

@Sketcher Hmm ok! In that case I'll come up with a reason why it's not his fault that he received his acceptance letter late, haha! Will write something soon hopefully!

[Mokley]

@Sketcher Ok, I've added to the latest mod post! The description of Timber Moren is in the first IC post, and here's the description of RiffRaff.

As of this moment, the only person he will see outside in the village is the Mayor on the porch of the bed-and-breakfast.

[Sketcher]

I'm so sorry for the long wait, I'll write an answer tomorrow :( It's gotten pretty late here.
