[OOC] The Dark Beyond

[Lexisheeps]

So she got a scan by Aaron swinging by, awaiting results?

By Aaron, yes. I'll let you decide the nature of the tech involved though. <3

Okay! Just so my characters are on the same page about the arrangement <3 Thanks!

Of course!

I figured as much! Totally okay with waiting <3

I don't think much more needs to be written, but idk what white's plans are!

We'd all be fucked then, hahaha.

Honestly? The idea of Nick being 100% mentally sound is a hilarity in itself. He was deliberately designed to not behave in such a boring manner. If he did... there would be no adventures. You have to be at least a little crazy to pull some of this shit off. xD

Questions (so I understand fully + can make a better post myself!)
1. Would this mean Auri also got the flash scan from Aaron, or was it not compatible like with Nick? In any case, what has she (and Sabrina and Theo) been told about the progress/process concerning the chip?

Good thinking. I would say let's make it compatible and shine some light on Auri's augmentations. If you would like, I can add her report in the post.

2. Am I correct in assuming that Cosy has been staying with Thierry/Nick this week and something, and not at the estate, and thus separate from Auri, Theo and Sabrina?

Like Lexi said, half at the estate, and the latter half at the museum. :>

3. Am I correct in assuming Cosette would still remember the goodbye between her and Auri when Galloes had sent her off to die?

Yes. That would mean Cosy would have recognized Auri as the one in tears before she was shipped off to the simulated reality.

4. IIRC Dragon and Nova would be at the event, too, right? If so, then I can add in my post that she's in a car being brought to the louvre with Dragon or something?

Yesssss, that would be lovely.

5. Is the nature of the artefact predetermined already, or am I going to think it up? (If so I'd love some ideas <3)

I left it open on purpose. I think it should be Egyptian-themed, but I wanted to leave it up to you to decide what Theo restored. (Anubis is not a bad ides, lol.)

6. Final question (for now). Is it my turn or am I waiting for the Thierry/Sabrina collab? Totally okay with waiting, just inquiring!

Good question. It sounds like Lexi wants the collab first, so we may be waiting on that.

Didn't Sabrina say that her and Thierry never stopped looking, or did I miss something?

Oooh. I was drawing from the recent fight Sabrina and Thierry had, and assuming Sabrina would have let that anger spill over in telling Cosy about her past. It kind of contradicts the even more recent collab, though….. I can go in there and change it, if @WhiteAngel25 wants to go with a different vision. :>

Hopefully I answered the questions alright! xD The reaction post was lovely, Days!

@Estylwen

Good thinking. I would say let's make it compatible and shine some light on Auri's augmentations. If you would like, I can add her report to the post.

I agree! You can also post it in your next post, that's fine with me as well.

Yes. That would mean Cosy would have recognized Auri as the one in tears before she was shipped off to the simulated reality.

Thanks, this helps me along with what I'm writing!

I left it open on purpose. I think it should be Egyptian-themed, but I wanted to leave it up to you to decide what Theo restored. (Anubis is not a bad ides, lol.)

Nice! I had ideas, such as the missing Giza capstone (thought perhaps that is a bit too on brand).

I would think since Theo was on site, it was safe and very non-dangerous as per Thierry's instructions. IDK if Egypt would fall under that classification.

Oooh. I was drawing from the recent fight Sabrina and Thierry had, and assuming Sabrina would have let that anger spill over in telling Cosy about her past. It kind of contradicts the even more recent collab, though….. I can go in there and change it, if @WhiteAngel25 wants to go with a different vision. :>

This one's not on me to decide obviously, but my opinion would be that that would be very unsabrina like to badmouth Thierry to Cosette (maybe she's more free with the Theo and Auri). She made a point out of mentioning Thierry as an equally concerned and invested parents several times iirc <3

Yes you did! I shall wait patiently once more, but I do have a lot to write so not being bored.

[WhiteAngel25]

@Estylwen Yeah, Sabrina isn't going to bad mouth Thierry. It goes against the collab conversation between Sabrina and Thierry that Lexi and I are working on. :)

Your response is understandable. I can see why you went in the direction you did. Great work! Although, maybe if you could edit it so that Sabrina was visibly upset with Thierry instead of bad-mouthing him, that may patch things over.

After all, I think the collab with Lexi will be after Nick attacks Cosy at the Louvre but before the gala.

At least, that's what seems to make the most sense at this point.

[Lexisheeps]

ngl.
I almost want Sabrina to say something mouthy about Thierry while angry,
not realizing Cosy is in earshot. But that could just be me.

But yes, this would technically go against what's already been said.

I'm terrible, I know.

[Days]

@WhiteAngel25Sorry for butting in but yáll know me by now haha.

[Estylwen]

@WhiteAngel25 Thank you for the clarification! I'll make the edits tomorrow, and we will go in that direction instead. I like it better anyway. :>

@Lexisheeps I like the drama, too, but maybe instead, I'll make another source the reason for Cosy's initial distrust...

[Lexisheeps]

@Estylwen Ha ha, that sounds great!

[Days]

@Estylwen, @Lexisheeps you two just hate happiness!

(go ahead I fucking love drama)

[Lexisheeps]

@Days

[Estylwen]

@Days It's true. Drama llama here. :>

I've done a minor edit to the mega-post, instead making the source of Cosy's distrust how Thierry held that grenade launcher. Mixed with how she witnessed him beating up his desk, I think the post reads better while keeping Sabrina and Thierry in a better light. How's this?

[Days]

Awesome! Here for it.

I think we’re all drama lamas.

And then there’s Nova and Dragon lmao

[Lexisheeps]

I haven't had the chance to read the update yet, but I'm sure it's fine. I'll have the chance in a bit.

But Nova and Dragon are straight 🤢🤮 Lol, I kid, it's fine. It's soap level after all! I just suck at writing straight romance, hence Thierry's dumpster 🔥 of a marriage to Sabrina.

God, we're so mean to our characters 😪

[Days]

Shut it Lexi! Enjoy their happiness haha

[Lexisheeps]

ME? QUIET?!?! NEVER. I AM LOUD AS SHIT AND PROUD

Not gonna lie...

I'd like to find out more about Aurélie's mother, but I'd need help with that. Mostly because I feel like I suck at making girl characters. That's a side effect of not relating to women, I suppose. Still though, I like to imagine that she's (Jesus, I don't even have a name for this mysterious woman) much happier without Thierry, but maybe she misses Aurélie...

Shit... what if she worked for HiveMind?!

O ______ O;;;;

Hey look! I found a Thierry x Sabrina...

My Hider

[Days]

Hehe!

Ooh, what are you scheming? I kept her vague so we wouldn't RP ourselves in a corner with her, and anything relating to her can come up as needed by the RP. So, no story yet.

Facts; She's from the Netherlands, she was 19 when she got Aurelie, and she moved back to the Netherlands without Auri. Auri had been "dumped" with Thierry since she was a few months old, IIRC. Theo was born 1,5 years ish later.

[Lexisheeps]

Oh, I'm scheming, alright... but idk what, rofl

Are... are we sure she was "dumped" though?????

[Days]

It's all vague and up for interpretation ;)

ESTY! Lexi is scheming, stop him!

[Lexisheeps]

[Days]

My dears, I need brainstorming help. So, for the artifacts, I have several options, and I hope one of these gives one of you guys a nice idea for something, or well, mainly our GM.

A) the missing Menora from the second temple.
B) A piece of the Ark of the Covenant, for example one of the angels or something.

If our lovely GM would like it Egypt-related, he would say that it was found/excavated in Egypt.

Though, after everything that happened there, would Thierry allow Theo to go to such a place? I'd assume he'd only not block trips to very safe sights.

C) is the Missing Giza Cap, which is very on the nose though.

In a waaay different corner would be
D) Chinese: A Chinese missing imperial seal
E) French: French Scepter of Dagobert (Maybe most realistic for Theo? + Maybe it's a wieldable weapon that Galloes comes to steal)
F) Belgian (close enough): The missing pannel from the Ghent alterpiece

For the foreign artefacts we could say that they'll be returned to the original country and yay international friendships made by the Louvre.

I think I'm most on board with.... E.
