[OOC] Fate/ Transcendent Paradigm (A Fate/GO Based RP) — Take 2!

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

I mean... We could go for just halving the amount of Masters present, too. From seven to like... Three. Two or three, I think.

I kinda wanna keep my Master around for GMing purposes, but I'm fine if he needs to be let go if it comes down to it.

@Riegal, you're the only one who hasn't phoned in who I can't connect to via proxy. Dis be important, and I'd like input. Yesyes.

[Riegal]

Hm, well, I have been having trouble keeping up with both characters. I'm not particularly super keen on dropping my Master, but if it's decided that we'll be getting rid of some, I'll offer Nanase up as a sacrifice.

[VitaVitaAR]

I'm fine with both of mine going. I'm playing Estelle elsewhere anyway.

[Rin]

And I guess I'll drop Franky then since she wasn't working out too well anyways.

I kind of need to keep Bethany though since she's my only character now and we need her for Arturia yuri even if she's been a bit of a pain to write but um yeah.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Hm... Well, I think the last thing to ask is how @KoL feels about keeping/dropping their Master. After that resolution comes in, I'll make a decision on who to cut.

(Rain's already told me that their Master's also on the chopping block so yeah. Just you now, I guess.)

[KoL]

Well, I like Ascelia, but she is burdensome so I would likely be better off without her. Maybe, if the chance comes up in the future, I can bring her back, or even another Master. For the time being, though she's fine to fade in the background.

That is an approach that I think that could work. Have the Master fade away when they are not important, rather than outright puffing out. After all, they can still be interesting in some interactions. Especially during downtimes. That's just an opinion, really. If it's too complicate to understand, just think of out like those RPG characters that aren't in your active party but will come out during cutscenes to say their piece and populate any hub your party has.

Anyway, Ascelia cleared to go, since she's being of little help/interest at the time.

[Rin]

Well, on the plus side just think of all the mana prisms we're going to get from burning all these Masters. :D

[VitaVitaAR]

That is not what is happening. D:

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

lol okay.

Well, if that's finalized, then let's go with the 'background character' idea and just have them fade out of existence yess free mana prisms.

I'll keep Keisuke around near the front for plot reasons, but otherwise it'll prob just be him, Bethany, and Meran around doing... Master stuff for the most part. Everyone else should be... Floating around or something.

So for the sake of streamlining things (and because I am NOT backtracking to edit everything), I guess... We act as if nothing has changed, but just tend towards not referring to characters if they aren't relevant to any point of dialogue or whatnot. Should work and mebbe speed things up.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Hm. Aight, so...

@Riegal, waiting on you. If you don't really wanna do anything for this set, I'm gonna move the scene forward and get more interesting things going.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Riegal: Radioing in to say that if you don't give me a heads up on your current situation, I'm gonna be moving ahead late Thursday... So roughly 60 hoursish later. So yeah.

owo;;

[KoL]

I'll admit, now I'm imagining Medea and Atalanta in a fast more provocative position than I did before. Hmmm...

[KoL]

I think I finally figured what's happened. That was an interesting puzzle to piece. I just hope that the conclusion is right.

[KoL]

Meran

"[...] I wonder if the Servants might trust someone by reputation, only to find out that they were behind this fire and chaos all along."

@Raineh Daze

And suddenly, the mastermind behind the dastardly plan was Heracles, all along! A plot twist worthy of Shyamalan-sensei.

[VitaVitaAR]

Berserker Heracles, even.

So all he did was roar, but somehow it turned out this way.

Anyway trying to flesh out an Arturia post to something more then "and then Arturia came over to see what Rider was doing" basically. ^^;

Also been considering, um, if I'm allowed at least, taking on a very specific second Servant.

[KoL]

Not only you, Keisuke. I think that I figured a bit more of this as well, but I still need more of proof before claiming it for good.

Also, talking about Crete, would the Labyrinth be more like a Reality Marble or just a powerful Bounded Field, like the Blood Fort Andromeda? Also, all of this beast hunting really makes me want to use Atalanta's second NP, I really love that lion boar girl's looks. Maybe I'll give it a shot in a battle against the Minotaur, Berserker vs Berserker.

[KoL]

I'll do a post sometime this weekend, at most.

[VitaVitaAR]

I'm kind of stuck trying to think of something for Arturia to do that's not like, one or two sentences of thinking they should go with the old man. ^^;

[KoL]

I suppose that my next post won't be that big as well, to say the truth. Atalanta doesn't have much to do other than perhaps a few comments and one or two more lines of skinship before allowing Medea to go.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Yeah, don't worry. Once you and Rin post, I'll move the scene right ahead. No point in needlessly dragging this scene out.
