Devils and Dust

[Hokum]

HI PEOPLE!

So hey, I had this idea, yes I did!! Now, hold up, I've never done a Slice of Life before, because who wants to add to the already grimmmmm nature of real life by playing it out in the fantasy world of RPing as well? NO ONE! well... maybe someone - BUT ANYWAY! Let's make this a slice of life with a difference - none of that gagging mainframe stuff!

Different? How? HAH!

Ragamuffin!

- Heck! The difference is up to you!

Hear this, hear this! Your character lives in a apartment or house in a middle to low class suburb of a MUCH greater city! Oh heck, maybe your character is a street bum - why not?! Here you can establish the home and character you want - so long as it's middle to lower class! whoop whoop!

Here in this suburb you got all sorts from commoners to the drug dealers to ex cons to gardeners to students to hookers hanging out on the street corner - to God knows what else! Integrate your character as you please. Let the story unfold at will!

HECK YES, I have a GM plan to throw things out of wack - but never mind that at this stage - just know it is gonna be fun! Who knows, maybe you and our resident neighbors are on rout to save the world, or maybe to save a very special flavoured pie from being devoured by a wicked adversary - who cares either way? As long as we're having fun!

So put your hands up! Who is in with me on this?

LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!

[vertigh0st]

I'm really hyped for this! Count me in!

[AyElEmAy]

Interested!

[MissCapnCrunch]

Interested as well :)

[Hokum]

@MissCapnCrunch@AyElEmAy@vertigh0st (apologies for the ping but i wasn't sure if you subscribed here yet) I'm honoured by you all being interests in this. Is good. Don't hold back on any questions you might have, since it's kinda hard to elaborate without more knowledge to your own inclinations.

I should probably start working on an IC. And I really don't mind if it's a small or large group. So long as it's enjoyed. But first I wanna lay down at least one specific that you might be wondering about?

That is the character sheets. They aren't needed but by all means when the thread starts post a sheet, of course, if you want to do it that way. I've GM'd before so don't worry. so far I feel confident that you will all introduce your characters in the IC in such a way that the rest of us substantially know what's going on with them. So all good.

I also think maybe I should wait on some more interest before getting carried away, and maybe open a discord server if things get running well.

We are all in on this together, so any thoughts on these things are welcome :)

[MissCapnCrunch]

@Hokum Thanks for the ping either way!

No questions at the moment really, curious as to what everyone has in mind :)
I kind of have an idea that is floating around in my head, and I'm excited for it!
Was wondering though if our characters should know one another before hand- or is it a meeting for first time? A mix?

[Hokum]

@vertigh0st Thanks for the Thank to let me know you're still in. Feel free to ask any questions you might have as well.

Still waiting on @AyElEmAy for confirmation they are still in as well. If they're still in then it looks like we have, at least for now, a four person party.

tbh small groups aren't a bad thing. Good, actually, but maybe some more players will join soon enough as well.

@MissCapnCrunch You're welcome lol

I am very curious to what everyone has in mind, too. But I also like surprises. I'm glad you are hyped for this! Looking forward to seeing what is knocking around in that head of yours. Looking forward to seeing what everyone has in mind, actually.

To answer your question: I think a mix would be great. Assuming that all our characters come from the same neighbourhood, doesn't necessarily mean they know each other beforehand, so I'd like to leave that aspect up to each player do decide. If you want your character to meet other charters in the IC, that's cool. If you would like to poke and prod for information about another players character to know them before the story starts, that is also cool by me. Personally, I'm preferring to jump into this blind and let things flourish from there.

---

Also, peeps! At this point I would like to point out that you are not limited to one main character. A few is okay, and of course, since this is a suburb in a city, various NPC's are welcome too.

Also like to mention post size and speed. I don't go much on free-style size. But you don't have to write a novel each time either. a few paragraphs on average is all good. long as we know what's going on and it's legible, what else is there to ask for XD

As for speed, well, I don't like applying pressure. There is no fun in being on demand in my view. Right now I'm in a couple of 1X1's where a post might even happen once a month at times. and I'm perfectly okay with that. Yeah, I know groups are different, since we have more than just one other person and plot stuff to think about. So with that in mind, yeah, don't feel pressure when posting. Take it easy and post when you can and have fun. There is no time limit, per say - because RL circumstances and such - but if you see it is your turn to post, then getting a post out as soon as you can is all I ask.

Oh wow, that post was longer than I expected it to be. Not a windbag at all

[Hokum]

Well, I am neither a mind reader or an expert on this matter, but I feel it safe to assume that losing a potential neighbour to the land of ghosts and goblins isn't a promising sign XD

So, Captain Crunch and Vertighost, how do you feel about an extremely small group of three? I mean, at least until other interested peeps come along.

[vertigh0st]

@Hokum

That works for me. And I’m sure more interest will be generated once the actual thread is made. Still super excited about this! I’m trying to decide between two characters that I’ll use for this. ^_^

[Hokum]

Good to hear! And I'm sure you're right.

On the matter of your characters, I'm anxious to find out what you have planned - but keep in mind you can use both characters if you want. No problem at all.

Alright, I'm assuming Capn is still good to go too, so I'm going to get writing on an OP. Probably be up in a day or two!

[MissCapnCrunch]

Yes! Still very much here :)

[Zaxter996]

This looks like it could be fun, consider me interested!

[Hokum]

@Zaxter996

Indeed it does, consider me pleased to have you aboard!

[Manzanilla]

I would love to join this, if you guys would have me!

[Hokum]

@Pyxis
