[OOC] Let Me Steal Your Heart [BuzzingBee + Dagger]

[BuzzingBee]

I’m good with that~! They can work more on their planning and it’ll be funny to see William having to be mentored XD

I don’t have many ideas for that particular part but I got a couple for maybe a little after.

- I think it could be interesting/funny if an old colleague/friend of the knights pop up. Or maybe just a friend of Penelope’s and means well but causes a bit of trouble for the group XD maybe even a bit of jealousy between Crow and Penelope. (If it’s a girl she could be super flirty with Crow, if it’s a guy he could be close and kinda protective of Penelope)

- Maybe Penelope and Crow get split up from the other two in town. I think it might be kind of entertaining if they end up getting captured by actual Younis knights. Something like some regular thief frames Crow in order to get away and then Penelope gets sorta dragged in lol I can imagine him being very angry that he’s getting in trouble the one time he didn’t do anything.

[Rogue Sloth]

Oh my geez...
I love those ideas so much :D
We could have the old friend run into them at the border (maybe the king sent him/her ahead as a spy before the main pose got there?)
I'll leave it up to you to decide if you'd rather it be a guy or girl, because I'd be happy with either :)

Also, I like the capture idea as a little side plot to take a break from the main story.
It would have to be another seized-and-escape type of deal, but those are always fun

[BuzzingBee]

Thanks x3
I could see that~ Maybe he wants to make sure they haven’t turned against him? He could have previously caught wind of the rebels or something.
And dang I don’t know which one I should go with xD

Yeah~ Maybe they don’t even get captured. The other two could intervene saying they got it handled or they could escape since Crow is pretty skilled at that

[Rogue Sloth]

I'm good with wherever the story takes us! I already have some big picture ideas that we can discuss when we get a little farther into the RP. It'll keep it going after the part in Younis, since I'm assuming we still want this to be long-term :)

I'll tell you a few of them now, so you get the idea of the kinds of "big-pictures" I've been thinking about for our RP

In a nutshell: I'm thinking we could have the group discover some dark secret of the king of Brerra that either causes them to not bring the staff back to him or to let the King of Younis keep it.

Also, there are other kingdoms besides those two, and I was thinking maybe there's a really big kingdom in the North that is doing the same thing as Brerra, which is taking over its neighbors. Basically, the Northern kingdom has spies all throughout Brerra and Younis, who are trying to get a war started between the two kingdoms. Once they're weak, the bigger kingdom plans to swoop in and eat them both up. (Maybe the rebels from earlier are secretly part of the spy collaboration, and lied about their true intentions? Just an idea.)

Basically, that would leave our characters - the only ones who know the truth - to find a way to stop the takeover from happening.

Also, we could throw in some supernatural stuff with godly intervention and all that later on if we feel like heading in a complex direction. (Not like making our characters have powers, but rather they can interact with the gods some of the time or just once). For an emotional twist, we could throw in a reunion between Penelope and her deceased mother in spirit form when the supernatural events go down. Maybe Crow and his mother too, but mostly Penelope and hers because they never got to know each other.

These are all still nubbins of ideas though. We will have to see what happens with the plot we already have going first, and then we can start throwing in bigger twists like that :)

[BuzzingBee]

Ooooo I’m up for all of those! :D

I definitely think the King of Brerra should have some dark secret or plan. That way it’ll make Penelope and maybe even the other knights question how far their loyalties lie and at what point they stop.

Maybe the king is using the staff of Younis as a way to easily accumulate power to launch his kingdom into a full on war with the Northern Kingdom??

And I feel like they should just have it once. What if they’re fighting at one of the places like the pond and Penelope or Crow gets injured to the point of almost dying (or maybe they do die for a moment?) when the portal opens and then they get revived along with meeting their mothers.

Also I have this idea of their mothers being like best friends. Idk if they knew each other while they were alive but even if it’s just in the after life XD Like they’re the biggest Crow x Penelope shippers lol

Yeah! We can work with these as we go :D

[Rogue Sloth]

I like those ideas! Maybe their mothers were best friends from the same village and knew each other before Penelope's mom died, and Crow's mom was just too sad about it to ever bring her up in conversation with him. He would have been really young when she passed, so he wouldn't remember her anyways.

Also, maybe their fathers know each other too, since both mothers ended up with noblemen?
I don't think Penelope's dad would like crow's very much though because he's as stereotypically proud as a noble can get. They could still have met before at least.

Ooh, maybe they were both passing through the village at the same time, except Crow's father just got Madeleine (that's Crow's mom's name, which hasn't been revealed IC yet) pregnant and bailed, but Penelope's father came back because he loved her mom, and she didn't get pregnant until later in their relationship?

I dunno if you've already thought up a story for her parents, but it would be kinda cool if Crow and Penelope's histories were that tangled up.

[BuzzingBee]

Ok now I lowkey want to do a spinoff rp with the parents XD

Maybe the families of Crow’s father and John are close due to some marriage? It could even be that John’s former wife was the sister of Crow’s father. So that would mean Layth is a cousin of Crow but still keep Penelope and Crow unrelated. Anyways, the two could have been placed together on some assignment in the outer villages and that’s were they each meet the girls. Except while Crow’s father is just looking for fun, John actually has feelings for Penelope’s mom and offers her a job as a servant in order to escape the state of the outer villages.

John would definitely hate Crow’s father XD I imagine that they’re rivals/worst enemies to some extent and when John was shunned by his family Crow’s dad probably had a field day.

As for the mothers, I like the idea of them being friends! Ooo a common connection that is still alive is Penelope’s aunt, whom she hasn’t seen since childhood, so maybe at one point in the rp they run into her. Maybe Crow even thinks she looks familiar/recognizes her since she would have stayed in the village. She could be the one to tell them all about the past and so on.

I only really have what I put on John’s CS mapped out, along with some kinda messed up stuff Penelope went through once she moved back in with her noble family. There’s a lot of their story that can be added to.

[Rogue Sloth]

This is exciting stuff. I like all the potential this RP has!
I can't wait to see it all play out.

Anyway, I'll try to write my reply tomorrow. I'm packing for four weeks worth of trips tonight, and I'm leaving tomorrow. Also, I'm going to Mexico July 13-17 for a wedding (one of my trips), so I won't be able to reply at all during that time. I have another 15 day RV trip after that with my family, and wifi might be spotty, but I'll try to reply when I can during that time!

[BuzzingBee]

Same :D I look forward to it

Alrighty! Sounds good! ^^ Have fun during your trips!

[Rogue Sloth]

Thanks!
I just got to my parent's house, so I have some free time to write my reply now :)

[BuzzingBee]

ALrighty :D

[Rogue Sloth]

My reply is done!

Crow is getting fed up with William xD

[BuzzingBee]

Can’t blame him xD William probably deserves it

Decided to go with a girl xD Can’t wait to see both how Crow reacts to someone flirting with him as well as a jealous (also very confused) penelope

[Rogue Sloth]

Yas, girl xD
I'm thinking Crow will be excited at first, but then his subconscious feelings for Penelope won't let him actually get anywhere with Olivia.

Ironically, my niece, Olivia, is at my house right now, and she looks a lot like that pic you posted >.>

[BuzzingBee]

Penelope will be sulking in the corner until Olivia finally leaves. XD
Olivia is going to be disappointed then

lol that’s weird!!

[Rogue Sloth]

I could see Crow trying to have some alone time with Penelope, and Olivia just keeps popping up to get his attention lol this will be fun

[BuzzingBee]

Yaaass xD Especially since they’re so used to having their alone time since William and Abraxas aren’t really around them a whole lot. Olivia could really get in the way of that

[Rogue Sloth]

Posted!

Crow is too offended that Olivia doesn't know who he is to notice that she's kind of into him xD

[BuzzingBee]

It’s ok, she’ll only get more obvious from here on out XD

[Rogue Sloth]

I'm pretty sure Crow would figure it out by now xD
He's not that oblivious, haha

Also, just for fun, I decided to take the Myers Briggs test from Crow's perspective.
I read the results, and he's definitely an ENTJ-A (Commander).
You should try it for Penelope, because I'm super curious to see what she is :D

Here's the test

Here's Crow's result

Like I said, it's just for fun. Most of it, I'm sure you'd already know since you made Penelope's character.
I just think it's funny how spot-on Crow's results were :3
