@golden dragon
found it. lol

[golden dragon]

Yeah it's my first time using this, so fixed it to be on the IC section. Glad you found it.

[Vampiretwilight]

@golden dragon
actually, description can be in the ooc section but the actual starter has to be in the ic section.
That's how I have done it anyway.

Anyway... -hugs-

How should I start? -thinking-

[golden dragon]

Oh yeah, you can feel free to brainstorm/describe how you'll do your post here, or it can be improvised without discussion. I don't mind, if there's something we need to fix, I can let you know in OOC.

I started the post in IC, so you can have your character answer his question. Provide some exposition, while describing where they're strolling to. You can also incorporate other types of plot advancements as well. Maybe they encounter a scenario, where the soldier needs to use the sword to save a merchant from bandits, etc. It all depends how you wish to take the plot. Like what type of scenes do you want to craft? Once you figure those out, I think that's what you should write in your post, and I'll respond and add my own plot advancements into the mix.

@golden dragon
oh ok.

-editing my post- lol

[golden dragon]

Alright, I'll wait for the editted version, or let me know once you edit it. I don't think I get notifications for edits.

[Vampiretwilight]

@golden dragon
let me know if anything needs to be changed, cause I just added to it.

I wasn't sure who was playing who though.

[golden dragon]

In the OOC PM, I said I would play the soldier and you would play the sword. Do you have any other confusions?

Hopefully that clarifies it so you can provide more advancements to the plot beyond how the sword reacts to my character's question. I'll await the next edit.

@golden dragon
oh ok.

-full change coming up-

[Vampiretwilight]

@golden dragon
It's not much but I changed it.

[golden dragon]

Thank you for changing it. Do you want to contribute more to the current plot? Or do you want me to mostly lead it until you're ready?

[Vampiretwilight]

@golden dragon
how about 50/50?
That way we both have a say.

We can talk in the ooc before hand each time, if you'd like.

[golden dragon]

Sure, we can both have a say. However, your current post only provides the plot advancement of the sword reacting to the soldier's question as well as its own thoughts (Which just shows isolated lore development that only the reader/spirit would know). Everything else is repeated from my first post.

I guess, what I'm saying is, I'd like something more to the post to show progression in the journey. You don't need to answer the question. Maybe the sword decides to go into its human form raising more questions, or there's an ambush, or a farmer needs help. Basically anything to advance the plot beyond what's expected from the first post.

If it's too much, we may not be compatible, and that's okay. Sometimes we don't know if we work together until the first few posts.

@golden dragon
I'll add some more. :)

[Vampiretwilight]

@golden dragon
I added some more. I described how he looked and how his current train of thought is. I figured that could help to show his current personality a bit, his train of thought. I added a little backstory too, if that works.

[golden dragon]

Yes, there's definitely plenty of plot advancements in that post. Good work. I only have a question for consistency purposes:

Are they resting at an inn, or a camp they made?

For my post, I'll likely have my character awake to noise from something happening by an outside party (Which I'll describe in the next post). So he'll notice your character's human appearance before searching for the noise.

Does that work for the next post, or do you want it to go in a different direction?

[Vampiretwilight]

@golden dragon
Thanks. :)

it can be at a camp, I pictured that for the first time they rested, since I had my character looking at the moon and stars.

And sure, he can notice his human appearance first. That works. :)

@golden dragon
hi. how are you?

[golden dragon]

@golden dragon
hi. how are you?

@Vampiretwilight

I'm doing well. How about you? I'm still working on the post, as it takes me 1~4 days typically.
