[OOC] The Truth Behind The Blaze ~ PopeAlessandros x tenebrae16

[tenebrae16]

Oh god, I swear I'm not dyslexic though maybe I should get myself tested because it's not the first time that I've read or written a word wrong like that. Then again, maybe autocorrect as well. But you know what? I think I'm gonna keep that one in there and make it habit of that character XD

Also, I really shouldn't type half awake. It's not good. You hallucinate that autocorrect doesn't exist. Secondly *Laisander and * and, no its' Lai and about how the hordes of adorable children have descended on him to get him to be the one to persuade Father Xeph for a picnic. Sorry for the confusion.

I tend to pick up styles from my partner's so it's no biggie, just compelling to write in present tense even though school tried to teach me not to.

I'm really enjoying the rp so far, I hope you are too, and I have a few brewing ideas for future events, but I can't just ruin the surprise and tell you. The rp is flowing well so far, let's just see where it takes us.

[PopeAlessandros]

"Laisander's was left defenseless an helpless against such a fearsome thing."

As it is written it implies that you are dictating my character's feelings, as in telling me that he is left defenseless rather than posting what they do and then letting me write how he responds to the onslaught. I'm not mad, but as written, you took control of my character without asking :P

[PopeAlessandros]

Oki doki, glad you are having fun. I is having fun too :P

[tenebrae16]

Haha, well, it was sort of a sarcastic jib. I didn't mean to control your character, but I couldn't find better way to describe the terror and power of a child's cuteness. I've had partners that write like that as well, but it's sort of a very slight made assumption that is usually correct, still I'll try to refrain from it. My apologies.

[PopeAlessandros]

*Huggles* Like I said, not mad, and if you wanna do stuff like that, just ask :P

[tenebrae16]

*squeak*

Okie :p

Hmm, my ideas don't come in until much later..anything in your brain?

[PopeAlessandros]

Sorry is so short. Lai's being stubborn :P

[tenebrae16]

It's gonna be a little slow, the chipping away of that wall Xephos set around himself to the war. Most things I have already planned I would like to execute when they have a more established relationship, at least begrudging respect, so we can focus more on the outward world around them and all the morales of the war and everything. Do you wanna take a moment to discuss what small events we should have just to make sure it isn't just stagnant back and forth.

[PopeAlessandros]

I am too brain dead at the moment for much beyond saying I have thoughts on what you just said but I can't seem to form words around them so I'll get back to you on all this after I have had some sleep. Promise. Also, I promise they are not bad thoughts :P

[tenebrae16]

Heh, I'm glad that they're not bad thoughts, but sleepy thoughts don't help so go get some rest and we can discuss this anytime later! Only sleep can give back life to your brain, then it's known as a zombie that will serve you for life till death do you part. You may now kiss the bride.

Quote - "Most things I have already planned I would like to execute when they have a more established relationship. . ."

Don't plan too far ahead especially without telling me at least a little bit. I have found that plotting out things without your partner knowing can end with some rather harrowing debates. At the very least I need little hints as to what to tell Lai to let him know some paths he may wanna try :P

Quote - ". . .so we can focus more on the outward world around them and all the morals of the war and everything."

Does this mean you wanna have our characters talk to other characters right now instead of each other or. . . .This line confuses me.

Quote - "Do you wanna take a moment to discuss what small events we should have just to make sure it isn't just stagnant back and forth?"

I would like to hear some ideas you have for the two of them not trying to kill one another, yes. I thought the kids might be an aiding factor as they both really care for the kids. . .And we have an attack planned, but I'm not sure if you want it during this visit or the next one. Also I thought it would be cute if Lai got hurt and tried to tend to himself rather than leave and let an angel doc deal with it, and since he can't pray he can't get divine help in healing either :P

[tenebrae16]

1. Well, don't worry too much. I may be a little controlling in steering the plot, so do let me know if I do. Usually, I tend to nudge the plot towards my ideas and I enjoy working around any thing you can throw me. It's almost like improv on the spot which I quite like. I will still drop hints when we get to that point, don't worry, it's not too out of the ordinary or out of context what we've already planned. It just delves a little deeper into the reason behind the war and so on. If I have any other crazy ideas pop into my mind, I'll be sure to notify you :3 Just let me try to keep a little surprise factor.

2. Sorry, what I tried to say was, right now, I think we can have Lai focus on Xeph in finding out his reasons for being here and Xeph to keep an eye on Lai and all the character development, but later, once they're more 'comfortable' with one another, we can move onto addressing the war and what problems are facing the compound, the church or just the humans. So personal first, then external factors later. If that makes sense?

3. I think the attack should hold off a while until Lai knows Xeph's reasons and attachment to the church so that he sort of knows how much Xeph has lost in revealing himself. I'm thinking that the adults will be offended and put off by the fact he is a demon having deceived them for so long, whilst the children are at first frightened but eventually realize that it didn't matter if he was a demon or not. Alternatively, we can have the attack earlier so that it prompts Xeph to open up and Lai to start respecting him for what he's sacrificed and done. Either way, it'll probably signal them leaving the compound because Xeph is basically out casted now. (On a side note, would Lai reveal himself too?)

4. I love the idea of the angel being stubborn in healing himself and the practical demon has to come in and convince himself to get healed, probably also teach him a little of humanity, what the humans have to go through with their slower healing and lives in the war. I get that the demons and angels are basically ignoring the plight of the humans for their own needs so this could be an eye-opener to Lai about the adverse effects on the war on those that aren't even involved. It's both a cute and useful idea of yours ^^

Now that that's all out of the way, aside from Lai getting hurt, maybe he learns more about Xeph through the kids, maybe through Javier, a lil through Athena and I'm thinking he may try to tail Xeph on his duties around the church and if not pester him, just bother him with his presence?

And just an idea that popped up now, I am so scatter brained, was that maybe Lai gets hurt whilst saving a child from getting hurt? If he can get it good with the kids, it'll score major points with Xeph. Hmm, I usually like a line of events lined up so we never have nothing to plan for. Anything else you wanna add in?

[PopeAlessandros]

1. I really don't like the idea of one of us steering the plot as I too have my own little things I'd like to see and I'd rather not have them clash with ones you've had planned for a long time. I think it's better to do co-op than DM and Player as far as 1x1s go, so while I too like plotting and scheming, I would rather we plot and scheme together. I have no problem with surprises but please don't plan them too far ahead, and don't be mad if I have objections to them when they finally land. Not saying I will, but I might :P

2. Ah, makes more sense now. Got it!

3. I was thinking of having two attacks, one where Lai basically orders Xeph to go guard the kids inside and Lai goes out, saves a kid or kids, and gets hurt(To speak of things you mention later) and then the one where Xeph is outed later. The fight where Lai gets hurt would be a bit of a ways away for the church and the child/children saved could have been on a run to the scrap heap for parts. For the first attack Lai would not let the humans see him is he has to use his angelic powers, and for the second attack he would reveal himself to try and make it so Xeph doesn't have to.

4. I'm glad you like the idea. I have this cute little vision in my head of, after some arguing, Lai letting Xephos bandage him up since he knows what he's doing better. You know, with taking care of the kids and all :P

I can see Lai talking to the kids and stuff to try and find out more about the demon, and wandering after him sounds adorable :P

Quote - “Hmm, I usually like a line of events lined up so we never have nothing to plan for.”

I take issue with the word never in this sentence as I do not like planning too far ahead and I don't like making an RP set in stone even before we really get anywhere, or in fact, ever. I like having little moments to work toward, fun ideas that sound interesting to try, but too much pre planning tends to make an RP boring. I think for now we've got some fun ideas and some things to aim for, but the idea of “never having nothing to plan for” is not a goal I have :P

As for me, I think we got enough ideas for now to work towards so I'm content with working towards the stuff we got :P

[tenebrae16]

Alright then, I like having equal basis with my partners, even if I can be a little domineering at times. And the idea of scheming and plotting makes it sound so evil, are we partners in crime now? Anyway, I like opinionated people like you, so don't hold back in speaking up against any surprises or plots I have already in mind. I'll try not to let my mind run too far ahead of itself, so hopefully, the idea I have will only be a basis for both of us to expand on it if we feel like it.

Alright, two attacks would work. I think that the first would almost be something like scouting demons who decide to have 'fun' with the kids who are gone out to collect parts from the scrap heap and Lai swoops in to save the day and all. The demons report back that an angel is taking refuge in the compound and try to pull of a larger attack, prompting Xeph to have to change forms and everything. Ah, my mind is racing now, I have to pull it back.

I can imagine Lai having a little personal crisis at being helped by a demon? Anyway, let's go with what we got then since it's alright with you. I'll type up the next post soon. :3

[PopeAlessandros]

Yush! We are now crime lord, mwahahahaaa!!!! I'm glad you like my opinionatedness :P As long as you're willing to wiggle on them, I am willing to wait and watch your scheming unfold.

I like that idea, but the attacks should be at least 2 weeks apart so Lai has time to head back, check in with his captain, do his job, and take more time off. So, the first attack should be on Lai's next visit, or the one after that. . . .Not too soon as I wanna play around the church some more :P Glad I could kick start your brain. It's always fun to watch.

Lai would have some issues with the fact that a demon is helping him, yes, and I see it as a very amusing and touching scene. Inside his head at least. On the outside I see it almost like bathing a cat :P

[tenebrae16]

Alrighty, that's all set then. It actually isn't too hard to bathe a cat, have you tried training a parrot? It doesn't have any teeth, but they bite like a mousetrap on your finger. I can just imagine Lai now actually have to be held down, trying to bite Xeph whilst he's just trying to help. Actually, I can see them as the type of couple, once Xeph opens up, that'll turn anything into an argument.

I'd hope we have more 'tender moments' that just accidentally happen whilst we rp.

[PopeAlessandros]

You've never tried to bath Koko. My Tigs and Night are easy to bath, but Koko. . . .Also, I have trained parrots, and the only one that bit was Bonnie, and only men. . . .She didn't like men. . . . .Unless she knew them really well, like me :P But yes, I imagine almighty fits and probably an escape before the demon corners him away from others and the two have a glare off :P

*Imagines them "making up" after a rough argument* *Giggles*

I can see some tender happening, eventually. I imagine their relationship starting off as one big fight, and then a "Moment" happening. I don't wanna think on it now, as each "Moment" needs to be just right and we hardly have moved anywhere yet, but I see this being one of those things that happens suddenly and without pretense :P

[tenebrae16]

Aw, sweet names...So, you knew men really well? Well, bird of a fetcher flock together you know? My Aunt had parrots, they were colorful, but lil young me wanted to pet them and they were biting like piranhas during a feeding frenzy and a cat once nearly scratched out my eye and a dog barked at me and..why do animals hate me ( when I was younger)? ._,

Haha, I imagine tense silence, lots of sulking with Xeph trying to focus on his duties and not bother with making up until they end up making out XD

I really like it when tender moments happen without us meaning for them to happen. I like it when it's just natural and just happens out of the blue. You know I call it the roleplay high when it gets your heart thumping and you super excited for the next post.

[PopeAlessandros]

No, I am a man and she knew me well. I'm glad you like their names. Their full names are Tigrara, Kokonoe, and Nightcrawler :P Some animals are just not good around kids. I blame the owners and parents for stuff like that.

I imagine either that, or almost battle like sex slipping into really tender lovemaking :P

*Nod* *Nod* I agree, very nice feeling and one I look forward to in all my RPs *Grin* I call'em "Doki doki" moments, but I'm an Anime Otaku so Japanese slips in here and there when I talk :P "Doki doki" is the same as "Ba-dump ba-dump", as in the strong heart beat or heart flutter :P

[tenebrae16]

Animals are too cute to blame. Even the scales critters.

I imagine a lot of battle 'scars' will be left on both of them. Haha, they're waging their own little war. Also I'm not full on anime fan, that Rozen maiden ending broke my heart and I have so much Naruto to catch up on ._, , but BL or Yaoi is something that..well, I blame my friends for my fangirling over that. I love those doki solo moments where someone just freezes, blushes and there are hearts in the background. It makes me laugh, but in that fluttery 'awwww he's adorable' kind of way.

I hope that we have a lot of awkward moments too. Where there is a tender loving serious moment that just gets ruined, probably by someone barging in or a blunt question or misunderstanding. They ruin the moment, but it's just so funny in the awkward silence. :3
