[OOC] Eɴᴛᴇʀ — Into an Isekai World

[mickilennial]

I’m still mulling over when exactly I want to really drive home that “this isn’t Yokohama anymore” outside of hints and little snippets of clues. Do I want to have something happen during the night to turn the dial up or see what kind of character development and bonding we can do before we get to that point? Being a GM is hard sometimes.

Heh.

Throws large ass spiders at us in the middle of the night

[mickilennial]

@Polaris North

That’s an idea. I could also just have comical moments where it’s a generic spider that the least brave member of the protagonists discovers on their face in the middle of the night. I think really sinking our teeth into those slice of life/comedy moments could be fun. But I do need to slowly ease characters into their abilities. I mean, every single one of these characters has had their physiology changed to peak human conditioning. So they have a lot more stamina, strength, vitality, and the like then they did before they left Japan.

[Polaris North]

Perhaps one of them gets super scared and just begins running for far longer than what they are able. Considering they're kind of shut-ins, maybe it would be understandable that they should have gotten tired faster.

Or perhaps on their adventure to civilization, they don't need as many breaks.

Or just throw a monster at them.

[mickilennial]

You seem to want giant things thrown at you. That is a weird kink.

[Polaris North]

I will neither confirm nor deny that.

[mickilennial]

I suppose everyone is enjoying the journey so far? I’m not posting too quickly or pacing things too slowly for people, am I?

@Inkarnate

Nah it's okay. Whose turn is it to post by the way?

[mickilennial]

@Seirei No Hai

I think it is in freeform posting until you guys want to do something that causes me to describe/advance the scene and give you more to work with.

[Seirei No Hai]

I would but it's late over here. If you want to, I guess it's okay.

[mickilennial]

It is literally almost nine in the morning and I have not slept, so the likelihood of me posting is probably not in the books.

[mickilennial]

So, in addition to not being able to sleep, I did this. I added them to the characters tab. They could look well for post headers, plus they’re not oversized.

[Rabidporcupine]

I'll try to make a post tonight.

[Rabidporcupine]

By the way, Kai's totally giving you all dumb nicknames. I haven't really worked out the other two perfectly in my head yet, but Toshinari is definitely gonna be Toto.

[Polaris North]

Pfft, excellent. Looking forward to what you'll come up with for Hiroko.

[Rabidporcupine]

@Polaris North
Well, I was thinking something like Hiro or Hero, but that doesn't really sound dumb enough. Then again, Izuna might just end up as Izzy, so yeah, you might be stuck with normal sounding ones unless inspiration strikes me like it did with Toto's Bizarre Adventure...

[Polaris North]

@Rabidporcupine

Hm, fair enough.

Still, I think they'd start using Toto to tease Toshinari.

[Rabidporcupine]

@Polaris North
Oh, I definitely hope so! My plan is to make the stupid names he gives everyone their official nicknames!

[Polaris North]

@Rabidporcupine

Can you just imagine them walking through town as these alleged heroes and they all know them by the nicknames Kaito gave them.

KONO TOTO DA!
