[OOC] Blight [OOC]

[glibglobb]

My last post uses the character Lucius, introduced along with Clarissa, to hook Delphi into the ongoing plot. I think Lior is the only one not tangled up in this expanding web now. We'll get to him soon. Soooooooooon :-P

[K-97]

I'll wait till Delphi's post is up before I arrive at the Boggart's Hole. Also does that mean the Prince wants me there because he knows Clarissa will be there rather than it being pure chance?

[cthulu]

Is it bad I want to hug Lucius OOC? he reminds me of a delightfully derranged jester in skyrim....

Anywho post is up, I'm not 100% with it but I'm feeling quite under the weather today so I think it's the best you'll get. I would ask people to remember she's from the wilds/forests so things like buildings, cups, fire, pavement it's all really new to her so she's going to be very...innocent/naive seeming in some respects and very sociopathic in others due to her upbringing, so it's not me trying to make a cutsey character out of a monster hehe.

I don't mean to make a big deal out of nothing, but the Lucius I mentioned in my post isn't real. He's a projection of Claire's subconscious that exists because of the effects that glam has on an individual's psyche. However, Glib described Lucius differently than I did, so he could be easily explained as a different character. And it wouldn't have been hard to bump into Claire in the midst of a crowd like that, so that's good too. Like I said, I don't want to make a big deal of anything, but I thought it was important to clarify what Lucius was.

Ooo excellent. You've all put up more stuff for me to work with while I was asleep. I'll definitely get a post up later today.

[Ichthys]

Anyone wanna give their two cents on how to get little, 'ol Lior into this?

Right now, I'm thinking he sees something of interest, and he goes out to obtain this thing. What it is, I'm not sure, but considering his scholarly nature, I'm guessing literature of some point?

Really, I have nothing.

@Tali Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge. I reviewed your CS, before posting but I totally missed that. Okay what I need you to do is just insert him into the scene you already posted. I'll change his name to Torbil and then we should be fine. Normally I'd delete but I like the NPC and he is necessary to bring Delphi and Clarissa into the thick of the plot.

@Ichthys There are multiple lines of action happening right now, almost to many. You should be able to find a way to hook him into one of these. Maybe he frequent's the Hole, maybe he hangs around the brothel and will become involved when the Iron Police raid it. Lots of stuff going on. Don't be timid, grab any NPC whose not a major villain and use them. Just keep them in character.

Think of a story like a gear train. Your post was good, but it's just one gear spinning by itself. You need to thread other elements from the story in. Then the gear teeth mesh and they all start spinning together.

@All Excellent example of what I was talking about with Tali. I made a mistake which could have amplified into a major paradox, but it was caught before it got out of control. Never be afraid to speak up if you notice an error or an inconsistency.

[glibglobb]

@cthulu Be careful with perspective. If your character does not know she was marked then you shouldn't reference it in your post. Talk about the jester or getting bumped into, but don't slip into third person omniscient and mention being marked when there's no way Delphi could have known. Only the GM can really do that without causing confusion and I still often post from an NPC's limited viewpoint.

[februari]

Despite the cold medication, I managed to stay conscious long enough to finish my post. I can't promise it's coherent, but it's there. I timed it earlier in the day of the Boggart's Hole meeting in case someone else needed to play around with timing. Whether Belle and Zemum arrive together or separately, I'll leave to our GM and others.

@februari If that's a sick post, I can't wait to read your healthy ones. A perfect introduction for both your character and the Prince. Get better soon.

[Elsa]

I'm reading posts to write my own at the moment, bit excited that my initial character grounding plot has become more than a throwaway paragraph.

EDIT: Any objections to Donovan and Aignéis having a pre-existing business relationship because of her connections (via clients)? I've got a couple of ideas of how to get both Aignéis and Fallon to the Boggart's Hole and I can write it either way, but it might make it easier if we can bounce off each other with the groundwork already in place.

[Elsa]

Posted. The idea is that the envelope is a request from Donovan for information, but her going to the Boggart's Hole has the dual purpose of speaking to Granny about potential employment for Isi (the girl who hurt her customer), and I'm thinking that perhaps Aignéis is starting to groom Fallon for more of a managerial role within the brothel.

(Regarding that, actually, Mischief; I figured that you could take us to the 'Hole, so let me know if you need any collab for the post.)

[Mischief]

Okay I'm going to read what I can tonight, but there won't be any progress on my part until tomorrow. I'm absolutely exhausted, bleck. So I'll get caught up on IC posts and then see where that leaves me.

[glibglobb]

Sounds good everyone, but remember there are more factions than Donovon's Unseelie Court gang in the Blight. There are the wyldlings who we've only barely touched on and the Seelie who've not been mentioned. I was thinking about doing the Seelie Court as less of a gang and more of a mafioso organization with strict hierarchies, traditions and laws.

[K-97]

I posted guys

[TaliPaendrag]

I got my next post up as well. :D Once again, let me know if I need to change anything at all.

[cthulu]

@Glib and don't forget the Fomori....not that they're really a group but still. :P

[Rata Tat Tat]

And Needle, though I'm pretty sure Needle counts as a terrorist as much as anything else...

[Ichthys]

I'm working on my post now. :)

[cthulu]

@Rata Aww he's not a terrorist he's a tiny ball of angst...he could join team Fomori? For we are the outcasts and unwanted? Not anything at all to do with the idea of Delphi getting to play with a pixie again honest ;) hehe.
