No idea, I don't particularly believe tgat dreams hold any deeper meaning, and rather that they're just a jumble of random subconscious nonsense that manifests while your brain isn't focusing on anything important.

Anywho, I've made the initial parts of the last character sheet and posted it, but like with Brozar's sheet it isn't done just yet. I'll add the finishing touches tomorrow once I get home from work. ^^

I bet everyones going to love this guy... xD

Heyy, unfortunately I won't be able to post until tomorrow after work ): If that means being booted from the rp, I understand and apologize, but yeah, things are out of my control. Perhaps Ayame got cold feet and backed away from her adventuring gig at the last second and went back to street performances, heh. Or got mauled on her first time down. Either way, I wish you guys all the best!

If you can guarantee that you can post tomorrow, I won't kick you out - nobody can control getting injured and/or sick. However, if you don't post anything tomorrow, I'll have to send Ayame off. ;<

Torran truly is a marvel of ingenuity, isn't he? xD
Great post, Duoya. Will contact you with details about a collab post soon-ish.

Too tired and sweaty and gross to think straight at the moment, so ridiculously hot and annoying today. x_x

EDIT:
Torran is a precious, precious cinnamonroll, and we must protect him at all costs.

Got that post in as promised! I apologize for Ayame in advance. And I recognize she's--- probably in trouble. Welp.

I'll toss my CS into the Char tab also, forgot to do that.

Hooray~ We get to keep both Vertigo and the spoiled fox! ^_^

On that same note; I know someone who's going to get some early excersise very soon... An excersise in running for your life.

I unfortunately did not finish up Doneth's sheet today. After work I pretty much fell asleep right after getting home, slept 'til dinner-time, ate fuds and hhen.. I think I forgot? I honestly don't know what caused it to slip my mind at all, frankly.

So honestly, I've got no excuse for why it isn't done. On the bright side, nobody's met him yet, so it isn't that pressing to finish it, but I still need to do it regardless. I'll try to finish it before I go to sleep after work tomorrow, so as to avoid this mistake repeating itself all week.

EDIT:

I've finished up Doneth's sheet. Now time for sleeps.

Collab with OwO posted. I wouöd've posted more in response to Ayame, Vertigo. But honsetly, the post was already nearly 8,500 characters long, and like I said with the collab I made with Risque, I want to try and keep the length down to a more... Manageable, level.

For this reason, I'll address Ayame, Torran and whatever Leela gets up to in my next post!

So, how is everyone doing? And how is everyone enjoying the roleplay thus far? I know we haven't gotten that far into it just yet, but I think the posts up to this point have all been very enjoyable and fun to read. You've all done a good job portraying your characters, how they think, feel and act - I always look forward to reading the next post from each of you. :)

Hopefully, I'll be able to do a good enough job portraying and differentiating the NPCs, so they don't all get very same-y and bland once we get to meeting and interacting with all of them.

Duoya and me should be finishing up a collab soon-ish, and after Risque posts something, I'll be able to finally get to deal with Ayame's shennanigans.

I also want to check with you guys how you want to handle Athena's trial.

As you've likely guessed, you're all going to get the same deal that Dahlia got. So my question is:

Do you want to actually play out all 7 in-story days, from morning to when you go to sleep? Or do you want to do summary days where you bunch together everything you did that day? Do you want to do a mix of the two? Or do you have another suggestion or idea for the trial period? Lemme know, I want what you lot want. :)

I definitely wouldn't want to play out all seven days from morning to night, at least. I feel like that's a sure-fire way to dwindle interest.

With that said, I'm not sure what approach to suggest. I'm fine with a summary or playing out the interesting bits, if there are those. Either way we probably need to discuss how they are to go about the trial. Maybe just helping out around town?

By the way, you are allowed to double post, so you don't have to wait for another person to go first before you. Just letting you know in case you weren't aware!

I'm actually not double-posting out of self-restraint, more than not being allowed. If I start double-posting in the IC, you guys wouldn't see the end of it. :P

As for the trial, it's actually a fairly important part of the Prologue. If your characters can't figure and accomplish at least two of the hidden goals needed to be accepted, you'll actually be kicked out of the Familia and, most likely, starve to death in the streets because nobody else'll take you. :P

Of course, there are always inteeresting bits, you just need to find them. What we could do is you guys post short posts about what your character wants to do for the day, or time period, and if anything in particular comes up, I would inform you. Like for example:

"Ayame decided to use the time between noon and evening to go browse the market for potential deals."

If something interesting came up, I'd send you a PM or post something like:

"As Ayame was wandering about the market stalls, wrinkling her nose at the various unpleasant odors that assaulted her nostrils, she spotted Doneth Skrayer over by a jewelry merchant, furrowing his brow at the selection."

You could then either choose to engage the "event", or simply go on to somewhere else. This way, it'll also be easy to sync up timelines and such, because everyone will use a "piece" of the day to dedicate to something, if you get what I mean.

That's just an idea though, if you got any better ones, I'd love to hear'em.

That sounds pretty good, and I'd be fine with doing it that way, for sure!

And ugh, them smelly market stalls...

What does everyone else think? This a good idea?

I'm pretty sure its the people who're smelly, not necessarily the stalls... xD

Hey, sorry for not posting yet - I ended up being swamped and barely home yesterday and today. I'll post in the morning when I get the chance! Apologies for any hold ups/delays.

As to the trial, I think it'd be best to sort of treat it like a highlights reel of sorts? Fast forward past any lulls, keep to the interesting/good parts?

It's alright. Sometimes random rael life stuff comes up and we can't do anything about it. As long as you inform me, or anyone else in the RP, about it, there's nothing to worry about.

Hmm, I suppose I could couple that idea with the one already suggested. They're very similar after all.
