[OOC] Broken Skies: War in the Eversky

[Bazmund]

@13org Legs primarily, but general ability to move and respond to stimuli. Think of it as a simulated spinal injury - whatever is scariest to her. The attack will have two stages of effect - a major, severe effect, until she's out of his 'range' or his concentration is seriously disrupted, and then more minor effects like stiffness of limbs, pain, loss of coordination, until an hour or two have passed. Fortunately, Adrion-Outta-Nowhere is going to stun him enough to break the major effects, and allow the party to escape.

Although Aura's gotta fuck him up a bit first.

Btw, any Inquisitor is more than capable of using attacks like this on entire groups of people at once. The main reason Cunningham hasn't is because the Heavens' Eyes are so far under orders to bring the team in alive and mostly functional. That is, at some point, going to change.

[Deos Morran]

So was Ariah's valiant effort to save Kat in vain! WHY! *Sad face* But also he's sure as shit gonna try and fuck up Inquisitor douche once I post again.

[Bazmund]

@Deos Morran Good luck bro. I take pride in my Inquisitors. Especially Cunningham, who is just a bastard.

[Deadnaut]

Aight ya'll, post up tomorrow, prepare for the awesome tale of Aura being awesome and definitely not completely terrified.

[Bazmund]

Out of interest, how does everyone think our story is gonna go?

[Deadnaut]

Aaand writer's block has hit me like a truck T_T. I've rewritten this post like eight times and I still don't like it.

As for your query boss, I think it likely ends with one of our characters living to tell the tale and the rest of us dying.

[Bazmund]

@Deadnaut Quite possibly. You wanna PM it to me, see if I can help with the block?

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Bazmund I think something's going to happen and we will either love it or hate it. Or both. Also, sorry for not replying sooner - I've been setting up an rp of my own and there's this one little block I've been trying to get past before I start up the OOC.

[Bazmund]

@CollectorOfMyst There are going to be plenty of things both to love and to hate. Assuming I can do my job right, we'll all get a good share of laughs, tears, and mortal injury.

[Bazmund]

Does anyone have anything they're almost ready to post, or would like us to wait for, or should I post as Cunningham again?

[CollectorOfMyst]

I think we're still waiting on @Deadnaut to post Aura, but other than that, I don't know.

[Bazmund]

Incidentally, guys, I'm thinking about starting a second RP with a Heist/Thievery theme, based on some choices based game that I'm currently watching a let's play of - Late Shift, if you've heard of it.

Anyone interested in a bunch of Uni students stumbling together and forming a coherent plan to steal something incredibly valuable, fully utilising the skillsets given by their respective degrees?

[CollectorOfMyst]

Sure, why not? I've read a few thief stories and I've had to break into my own house once. I ought to be able to figure something out. Might play a character different from Cole - it's just a matter of figuring out who I want to play as.

[CollectorOfMyst]

Umm... I hope nobody's forgotten about this... we are still waiting on the next IC post...

I was the last person to post.
Currently waiting for the others.

@13org

Same here. I mean, I know I'm playing the Inquisition as well, but I really can't be every other post. That's a bit much.

[Bazmund]

Also, I'm gonna see if I can put out an interest check for the Late Shift inspired thief RP tonight. Small party, ideally, low-power characters, that kinda thing. It's a crime RP where the main characters aren't hardened criminals, if you see what I mean. Say aye all ye who'll find interest in it.

[CollectorOfMyst]

Aye, I still have interest. But will ye have me?

[Bazmund]

@CollectorOfMyst Yeah probably mate. I mean, your character here actually fits the idea I have pretty well. In essence, it's about a group of students who are, one way or another, coerced into participating in a heist of sorts. It's gonna be based closely on the Interactive Film, Late Shift, which is essentially the same concept, except for the fact that only the protagonist is being coerced - the others are all fully willing, and while it's not entirely elaborated on, they could plausibly be either students as well, or professional criminals.

It's a good film actually, go and give it a watch because it really had the right feel I'm going for.

See, in a way, the PCs of the RP I'm trying to get up are actually going to be fairly without power-over, which is to say that whilst their choices do matter, they're still going to have realistic consequences, and there will be situations where some/all PCs may be entirely deprived of their power to make choices - for example, if they were kidnapped and held captive, most sorts of modern person would be entirely unable to realistically and safely make an escape.

It's going to be an intense experience if I can wangle it properly, and certainly it's gonna be quite a bit darker than what we currently have going here, but it should be good.

There's the interest check. Let me know what you think of the cover image I cooked up in 10 minutes.
