[OOC] The Little Hamlet

@Yankee@Mae

I'm perfectly fine with that. Always up for anything that strengthens character dynamics.

And no worries, take your time on the skills. Was the Fire/Flora element combo fine?

[Mae]

@Enkryption This is the final cast so feel free!

@Dark Cloud nah, just a nice bonus that adds flavour. If you want to do it, awesome, if not that's good too.

@AzureKnight ok here's a first pass at Say's skills, anything you want included? I think if Saya and Bolo put their heads together on the divination front, Saya could develop an ability to locate forgotten ruins and dungeons.

@AzureKnight woops didn't see the post straight away. Yep, works fine - let me know if there's anything you want added or have changed. Thinking about it, they could probably be combined eventually into some sort of forest rejuvenating spell, but I imagine that's for alot later.

Okay everyone! I think we're fast approaching the start of the RP. When the IC post goes up it'll be free posting, so no expectations of quantity or timing of posts, do so at your leisure. Characters can chat and get into the slice of life vibe. The first big GM post after that will be the opening of the Adventurers Guild for registration, there may be some smaller less serious GM Posts in between as a response to goings on.

Below is an example header you can use in your posts, if you like Bbcode you're free to use one of your own or customise it. The most important part to keeping things organised is the location and interaction sections. It probably won't be too relevant at the start but if we can get into the habit of putting a hider at the bottom of each post with anything mechanical or actions (e.g I attempt to craft for resistance armour, I identify the herb, I collect the monster tusks and appraise their value... 3rd person is probably better but as an example) it'll make things easier.

I think Mary might be afraid of Saya because she reminds her of her stepmom.

[Timemaster]

@Crimson Flame It's alright, Penny will protect Mary if needed :)

[AzureKnight]

Saya's not a danger to anyone.

So long as you don't mess with her booze or books. At that point, I can't guarantee anyone's safety...

@AzureKnight

No worries. Nibiria's very skilled with ropes. Comes with the territory, after all.

[Dark Cloud]

What in the sam hell happened is the IC up now?

[Timemaster]

@Dark Cloud It is indeed :)

[Timemaster]

Woo! First post!

[Dark Cloud]

I...Honestly don't know where to even begin a post 😂

[Timemaster]

@Dark Cloud I didn't either, so, I started with the basic questions. Answer those and you'll get a tiny idea on where to begin.

Where's my character?
How does the place look like?
Why is my character there?
Who are my character's friends?
Are they there? Yes? How do they look? No? Is my character meeting them or they come over?
Then at the end write something that can give you an idea for your next post.

[Crimson Flame]

Where's my character? At her cottage
How does the place look like? Like a cottage
Why is my character there? Baking
Who are my character's friends? Wormwood and Penumbra
Are they there? Yes? How do they look? No? Is my character meeting them or they come over? No and probably not
Then at the end write something that can give you an idea for your next post.

[Timemaster]

@Crimson Flame How does her cottage look like? There are loads of types of cottages. Hay as roof? Wood? Stone? Are the walls covered in something? Are they white, black, yellow? Is there furniture? Yes? What type?
Character baking? What's she making? How does she do it? Does she have a passion for it or just does it for money? Is it for her or a client?

Just ask yourself questions constantly.

[Crimson Flame]

@Dark Cloud Does Wormwood want to stop by Mary’s cottage? She’s baking pies!

Apple Pies of course.

[Dark Cloud]

@Crimson Flame maaaybe. But I think I might place him in the woods. I appreciate the suggestion and @Timemaster then help.

[Timemaster]

@Dark Cloud No problem mate. I've had the same issue for the past 10 years every other RP I've been in. It worked for me, maybe it'll work for others.

You could also try bouncing ideas around between us and see what seems more interesting.

[Little Bird]

@Mae I'll get back to you on my character later. Just got put onto 3rd Shift-1st Shift double. (AKA time to rest for work).

PS work has been kinda brutal on the schedule lately.

[Dark Cloud]

Posted. Not the greatest at opening posts but when I have something to work off of I'm better. So if anyone wants to like Interact I'm fine with that.

[scrawls]

Hmmm, trying to figure out what Boro should do. I'm going to have him be cleaning up and preparing the library, but besides that I'm thinking about his first interactions. Does anyone want to visit the library? Or would anyone like a big librarian to deliver some nice books to them?
