[OOC] LANTERN (redux)

[baraquiel]

@Mokley WAAAAAIIIIIT

EDIT: DOOOOONEE

[Mokley]

@baraquiel Just clarifying so we're on the same page: is this windmill something that was previously mentioned or is it new? Is it on the sand or did Golde hike up the rocky incline to get to it? Where on the map are you guys right now?

I'm cool with a new windmill -- lots of potential here -- but just making sure I'm not misinterpreting something. x3

[baraquiel]

@Mokley lemme pm ya (is that how they say it lol}

[drewccapp]

"...I won't be long, I promise". Golde kissed Ifor's forehead, then she stood up and approached the creepy windmill.

@baraquiel

Famous last words?

Haha! Probably not, since in my experience Mokley would rather put us through the wringer, but that was went through my head when I read that. Looks like we are all going to be on our own for now. It seems like this is a trend for Lantern at least (although I've noticed it in others).

[baraquiel]

@drewccapp eh sorry bout that part. It was my mistake as I misunderstood the map. I actually thought there's nothing on Woomdaly but a windmill in the center of a field so I gotta change that part xD

[Virgil]

I'm suddenly very intrigued to see if anyone on the island will help Golde learn about the herbs of its many biomes. When will she run out of supplies? Will anyone actually bother helping a total stranger? Do they have something similar to sweet corn on this isolated stretch of eternal night?

All that and more...right after this commercial break.

@drewccapp

That's probably the biggest problem with forum RPs - everyone's got their own story and it can be hard to weave them all together towards an overarching tapestry. But hey, at least we're Hip and Trrrendy!

[drewccapp]

Hip and Trendy is right! Haha! I love it though. It's fun to see how character's actions in other parts of the world impact the world for the other players. Not to mention the times when characters cross paths again make for interesting new interactions as they grow and advance in their environment.

It does put a lot of work on our almighty GM @Mokley to have basically a 1-1-1-1-1 going on. Thanks for putting up with our craziness all this time as players! We've made some incredible stories over these last few years!

[Mokley]

Fun note: for me personally (after a metric ton of failed RP attempts in different formats) the 1-1-1-1-1 scenario is actually a bit easier for me to handle. The alternative is making sure five people all understand the same scene at the same time in the same way, which to be frank drives me nuts sometimes. :D

This way each character's actions can have repercussions that affect the other characters, like a ripple effect. (Like Izzy sending in the calvary.) No character is ignored or left behind. And you can always move toward another character's location if it gets lonely. ;D

@Mokley

I'll have to remember that if I ever host my own RP...

[Virgil]

Posted another short one because A. I'm testing out a new system (I call it: "Turning Off Distracting Music", or the "TODM" system for short. I'll be receiving rave reviews over the patent any minute now...) for writing, and B. I'm still trying to get around the fact that I'm...not a very patient writer. So in the meantime, bear with me - I'll make sure to make the next post more involved!

(Whether Ifor gets woken up early or not is entirely up to the fates at this point; otherwise, more backstory, yeaaaaah!)

[Mokley]

@baraquiel Just checking! Are we good to go? :D

[Virgil]

Just out of precaution, I'd like to remind the peeps that Golde and Ifor are currently about an hour (maybe less) away from the last location; if anything heads up that way, it'll need a bit of a timelapse first. Otherwise, we're golden!

[Mokley]

Ok we're going. It's like 12:30 at night but I'm in a writey mood so heeere we go!

[Virgil]

Looks like Elliot just got Sheogorathed: youtube.com/watch?v=JC5MwptQc7I

[Girlie1Bomba]

@Mokley I gots time tmrw! Will post up something! Anything!

[Mokley]

@Cairo@drewccapp@Virgil@Girlie1Bomba@WittyReference@c3p-0h@baraquiel

If yer plannin' a post, best do so when ya can! ;)

(I know a couple of you have already contacted me about delays -- no worries, but keeping you in the loop!)

[Virgil]

ISP killed the net for about 14 hours on my end, but I should still have a post up by tonight; I'm feeling pretty good about how this one's been coming along, too ^_^).

Best of luck to the rest of you!

[Virgil]

Somewhat Decent Post's Status: E X E C U T E D!!!!!!!!!

[Mokley]

@Virgil awesome but if the Npc were to .... say ..... suggest he move, would he do so? Is he concerned that golde isn’t around? Does he intend to drown?

The look into ifors psyche is great, but I can’t use it to continue the story.
