[OOC] All is Fair in Love and War [Akela & Nuada]

[akela]

Thanks! and no that's okay. You always post once a day, so I figured you were just busy. As anxious as I am for a reply, I know mine took forever because it was just so LONG, and I needed to do some reading for it lol Good to know I shouldn't wait around for one today, though, so Im not constantly checking tho haha

[akela]

just thought i'd let you know how much I miss you in my life. lol xD

I'm kidding. I mean no rush, I do miss our rp but I'm just being silly ;)

[Nuada]

I'm soooooooooooo sorry! It's been a hell week at work. So many deadlines and the people I need in my team have problems of their own, which makes their availability my problem as well. *sighs* And then we just learned that the project we were expediting will be delayed by so many days!

Anyway, it's finally the weekend and I have the right to forget all about what's happening in the office. So.... I'm back! And I'm really sorry for the long delay, I was kidnapped by the real world.

[akela]

haha I know, I'm just messin around. I just got hired on and finally have a job myself, so it'll be easier to be patient since I'll actually have a life again lol

[Nuada]

Congratulations! :D I like staying at home though. I love weekends!

[Nuada]

I just read from the internet that it's customary for the couple to go on their honeymoon on the day of their wedding. There are even some superstitious belief about shoes thrown into the carriage. I didn't foresee that and now where should they go?

[akela]

Oh, I didn't even think about it. Huh. Um...

They could go to Paris if distance isn't an option. I can't think of anywhere grand in England...

Edit: Brighton is a city not far from London that from reading, it's up and coming around this time, grand hotels being built in the area.

[Nuada]

I tried to look up how long it takes to get to Paris from London during the mid-19th century, but there are varied answers. I made Nick suggest Paris, but they can totally stay. He's very sick anyway. And I feel bad for Claire :( Poor girl

[akela]

I meant to say this the other day and forogt. You're great at adding side events to move the story along, I'm learning a lot from you. Or trying lol if you ever have a rp idea where you're the female and u need a partner let me know, I bet your character would have a lot of personality!

Most female writers playing girls tend to want to always be the "poor me, come save me I'm helpless because my life is awful" and it drives me nuts lol

edit: okay I start my job tomorrow so I should go to bed earlier today, so no post, but I'll get one done thurs.

[Nuada]

Haha! Thanks! I'll think of something, or if you want maybe we can add side characters to this RP.

Good luck with your new job! :)

[akela]

that sounds good too :)

Okay on that post I hope I didn't go too "forward" with it. I just wanted her to say that and I was afraid you would have him fall asleep in the next post. If it doesn't fit well with what she'll find in the room let me know.

[Nuada]

It's fine. There are only a few things to do after the doctor did his stuff. I struggled with what to post next. lol Anyway, he'd probably sleep the day and the night away so Claire can do whatever she likes.

Regarding the secondary characters, do you have a role in mind you would like to play?

[akela]

I'm sorry this is taking so long, rl and all that.

I will get to that question when I think of something. haha I will, I promise.

I wanted to ask if YOU had something in mind for this meeting Claire is having tonight. If not that's totally find, I'm going to write it myself, I just wanted to make sure before I did so. At any rate I'm almost done with the post, I'll def have it done tomorrow. I HATE when I don't get it done, it means I dont have a post of yours to read at lunch break...its a little pick me up in my day...lol

I thought about the meeting being something to do with not only telling her to get info on that weapon, but also informing her that Nick and his buds are getting closer to finding the spies, including her. Telling her to be careful and maybe...I don't know. Doing something with that. Is it realistic for her to be given a weapon? At first I say no, but then if we go 'realistically' through this whole thing it'll be no fun.

I'm thinking this time everything works out great, she gets the info perfectly with this weapon stuff. THEN they have someone release false info, she gets ahold of it, and their troubles start. Down the line when they're in love ;) Is that our plan? I think I'm rambling at this point...

[Nuada]

I don't have special plans for the meeting. What you said above is great. Can I just suggest.for them to try to either retrieve or kill the spy prisoner. They can use Claire for this purpose

[akela]

That's fantastic :)

[akela]

ok i'm all for quality over quantity but I really wanted to get that to you, I just didn't get to proofread it so sorry for mistakes I know are there somewhere. I've GOT to get to sleep...hopefully it's decent lol

[Nuada]

I've read it and there were only minor mistakes. I make more mistakes than you do, because I usually skip proofreading and go straight to bed. Sleep is very important, I'm not minding those minor errors. :) I just read one of my older posts for reference and found a number of errors like missing words and this phrase - "four of us is"

I promise to proofread from now on. Haha! So embarrassing!

One question though. Were you referring to the one Nick and his friends captured the night before Nick & Claire's wedding?

Another question (sorry). Should Claire be in the room when Nick wakes up in the morning?

[akela]

Yes I was if that's okay, and hm... Yes,with food ;) asleep in chair, she didn't sleep much last night

[Nuada]

Hey, I won't be able to post until Sunday, which I think is Saturday for you. I'm flying with my friends somewhere for the summer outing we planned one year ago. :D

The spy they caught was a baron's son, and so far he hasn't spilled their secrets yet.

[akela]

wow, where the heck do you live? I thought you were in the US, but apparently not if we have different days going on lol I guess that would explain why you get on during my work day and stuff. anyway have fun :)

anyway, any ideas on how she can get close to the baron's son without Nick? She would need to speak with men who could bring her to him after she acted curious or something, right? But nick's stuck in bed, and it might seem weird if she went alone...

you're good at making things work out. :/ I'll think on it tomorrow too.
