[OOC] Safe and Unsounded

[Quoll]

@Sundrop@BubblegumQueen Awesome work guys! Two more gorgeous people for the family of visuals. I can already hear Rosella's schoolfriends ask 'did you get adopted by a modelling agency?' ahah.

"Hey Triiiinbear, you wanna find out what happens when we spike papa Claus' shampoo with this?" She pulls out a tube of craft glitter with a toothy grin. "I bet it'll turn out even more majestic than it already is; look see, it's holographic!"

[BubblegumQueen]

@QuollI can totally see Trinity going along with it and being like, "Yes. Yes we are all models. Awesome, huh?" haha. I am literally soooo excited for this, I can't even...

Trinity gives an evil smirk, mind whirling with the possibilities. "Hehe, I like your style kid... let's do it!"

[BubblegumQueen]

@SundropHehe, she'll make him have fun... even if he doesn't want to initially...

She likes a challenge.

[Sundrop]

@BubblegumQueen @Quoll I'm kinda really looking forward to it~

"Hrm? Trinity? Rosella, dear? What is it the two of you are chattering on about over there?" The poor bab didn't hear them, for he was too busy lost in thoughts of pudding.

[BubblegumQueen]

@Sundrop@Quoll

Trade wide eyed expression towards Rosella before immediately schooling her expression, whirling to face Claus. "Don't worry, daddy. It's, uh, girl talk." Cue charming smile.

[Quoll]

I'll get an initial IC post up in the following week; it has been a bit busy on my end so I hadn't the chance lately.

I think having a little prologue showcasing each individual's first encounters with Rosella and the other supernaturals would be a nice place to start before heading to their current positions a year later (which will be on the day of school family photos, just to have those demons do their modelling shenanigans and our poor vampire to not register properly to cameras).

Just to clarify with their first encounters I'm thinking they all met Rosella on the same midnight to morning, right after the time of murder, in this order:
1. Rosella grieving in bed at midnight and encountering Lilith, laying all her woes along with the Contract Seal upon her.
2. Happening upon Claus the next morning in the backyard, who had been drawn to the burst of energy the night before.
3. Walking to the shops and back, hauling heavy bags for the first time before stumbling upon Trinity, who tagged along.

As evidence of the parents' murder remains traceless to everyone, solving the mystery sits at the back burner of the family's mind for now, as their main priority concerns assimilating into mortal life and dealing with human annoyances.

If you guys would like to incorporate Rosella's dialogue into your posts feel free to PM me! I may do the same to you guys if you're okay with it.

Am I still in? I'm trying to finish off my char app, but I'm having a little bit of difficulty with it.
I can also offer a work-around for collaborative posts - a website called Piratepad, which lets you work together on a piece instantly - so if there's characterisation you don't think fits your character, you can change it, or offer other ways of writing a sentence.

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Quoll And I'm done! If there's anything you think doesn't fit or you want me to change, let me know.

[Quoll]

@CollectorOfMyst Looking good! Tell you what, hide and seek with this family would be one hell of a spectacle, hahaha.

"Digobear is in, and he's doin' that smoke thing this round, so you better hide properlyyyy--!"

I can't check now since I'm on an iPad for the weekend but how many can piratepad support? It might be a worthwhile idea to write the 'everybody familiarising themselves with each other' scene as a group collab since I imagine there'd be a lot of confusion and explaining to do amongst themselves as a group.

[TheIrishJJ]

@Quoll I have a character for this, if it's still accepting! I'm thinking of an eccentric uncle (or maybe pair of characters, which I might try something with). It's nearing 1am for me though, so I'll work on it tomorrow morning, and should get it done by the end of the day (I'm off to see a rugby match and I have to get the train).

Is that okay?

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Quoll I'm guessing Dingobear is what Rosella's nicknamed him? I like it.

"Look, no hiding outside like last time! It gives you an unfair advantage!"

@TheIrishJJ I'm guessing you're a fellow nocturnal Brit, then?

[Quoll]

@CollectorOfMyst It'll slowly evolve from Indigo to Digo to Dingo, haha.
"Everyone pretend the sunny spots are lava! Oh wait... you can't pretend that. Pfffff- indoor sports are cooler anyways. We won't die from radiation."

@TheIrishJJ Feel free to hop in; I'd like to stick with one character per person on this. Welcome! :3

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Quoll Well he'll have to tell her what it means first ;)

[TheIrishJJ]

@CollectorOfMyst Indeed I am!

@Quoll I was planning on twins who you only ever see one of them at a time, and they're completely identical (or are they just one person? Nobody seems to be sure...). I'd expect more than one other person to think that they're one person who has multiple personalities. Or are they right?

People would only see one at a time, is that idea okay?

[Quoll]

@TheIrishJJ Hm, it that case, I'll make an exception since it could add to their strange and quirky disposition. Feel free to give it a crack! I'll be interested to see their engagement with their fellow supernaturals. ^^

[TheIrishJJ]

Just waiting to see if my characters are being accepted :)

[Sundrop]

I just had a fantastic idea about Claus and Rosella's first interaction--

@Quoll

Only just noticed this bit. As far as I know, it can cover about six people, given that's the number of people I've seen using it at one time, and as long as you don't lose the link to it, you ought not to lose what you've written. (Though maybe someone should keep a backup somewhere; it's still relatively new to me so reliability wise, it's never failed me, but the day is always young.) And yeah, it might be a good idea for a group collab.

[BubblegumQueen]

Hmm, I'm soooo excited for this. So many interesting characters...

[Sundrop]

Anyone here..? I'm ready to get this up and running-
