[OOC] The Walking Dead: Safe Haven -CLOSED

[tex]

@Demonic Angel If they're PCs I'd be ok with it, assuming you filled out their sheets as with everyone else. I'd rather not allow any non-PC's in the control of anyone other than the GMs, personally.

[Demonic Angel]

@texit was just a suggestion Tex technically Haru is an NPC

[ViolentViolet]

WHY HAS NOBODY FUCKING NOTICED THE FUCKING TRUCK, FIRE AND CUT UP DEER CARCUS OUTSIDE OF THAT STUPID HOUSE?????!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?

[josephb]

Sorry about my inactivity, will be getting a post up tomorrow.

[Wick]

Honestly I forgot you had put her there.

@ViolentViolet

However, my charachter would probably look at yours with suspiscion because you don't act like a normal person would in that situation. You keep wanting everyone to look at your girl like she is some kind of hero or the best at everything. You should be allowing her to act like a normal girl. In my opinion she isn't very realistic. Sorry that is just my opinion.

[ViolentViolet]

I guess I'll probably drop then >.>

[Wick]

You don't have to do that. Just make her more realistic. More approachable. @ViolentViolet

[tex]

I'm still inside the house, so yea.

[Aerandir]

@ViolentVioletwhen I read your post I was at work, I missed the part where she was parked infront, I thought she was maybe near by but not close enough for them to notice.

I can always edit it if you want so I notice her coming in. Maybe a little collab of them talking when she pulled up. since I've already pushed my character to the house. I can slip that in the things he did before everyone woke up.

[ViolentViolet]

@Wick
I got a little offended and didn't want to argue. But I mean, she's not the type of person who just walks up to people. She understands that working with others in a better way to survive, but she doesn't trust anyone anymore. I didn't do anything to her, she does what she wants. In this case, she didn't want to children to go hungry. She's a sap for kids - even though she doesn't show it.

@Aerandir
Was your character outside keeping watch before the sun came up?

[Aerandir]

@ViolentViolet he was outside before the sun went down, waking only 4 hours later, so he had about 4-5 hours before sunrise, being either on top of the roof of another house or searching houses.

So he would have noticed her arrival for sure.

[Wick]

@ViolentViolet

Ok, I get your point but what I mean is she might have a truck and a gun or two but she is not likely to have a huge sniper rifle or shoot a several point buck and drag it, cut it and cook it in 5 hours unless she is a big burly man and his buddies. Those things are terribly heavy and if she is a regular girl she wouldn't have any idea how to move it skin it, or cook it... It would be much more realistic if you said she found or caught some rabbits and/or chickens. I'm not trying to be mean at all please don't take it that way. All of the charachters need each other for one reason or another. You make her seem like she doesn't need anyone for anything. Make her vulnerable in some way.

[tex]

I wasn't going to say anything, because it hasn't been a real issue yet (As she hasn't interacted with the big group much) but it's true.

Not to mention, that buck would begin rotting and become pretty much 90% inedible within 12-24 hours if not cooked, cured, and stored properly.

Hell, it should already be pretty close to rotting as it is.

[Aerandir]

Krystal worked through the night, eventually pulling what bodies she had found away from any water she'd seen, collecting anything useful or interesting from the corpses and the remains of a campsite just off the shore. An empty water bottle, some keys and a can of tuna was all that had remained of the camp; even the tent was torn and broken and none of the shoes were her size. On the other hand, she found an interesting leather jacket she decided to keep. By the time the moon was setting she was finished her work, clearing most of the zombies out of the area and managing to catch two fairly large rabbits for food over the night. It was just as the moon was setting that 10K came across a large buck, grazing quietly in a small grove. It was alone, it’s rack grown large and smooth. It would be a shame to kill such a majestic creature, a male who could breed an entire herd, though he would be enough meat to feed the group she had seen pass by.

With a steady breath, a silent blink of her eyes, time slowed around her; heart beat slowed, arm drew back the string, lifting the bow, arrow aimed true. The buck, as if sensing danger, lifting his head, drew dripping from his antlers. He spotted the hunter poised to strike, paused as if understanding. Mating season was already over, there was no reason to fight. Nothing but his drive to survive; which that of the Hunter would outdo. “Thank you.” The shaft buried itself in the great beast's eye, killing it instantly with no harm to the main body. His pelt would make a nice blanket, or sack, his meat a great many meals.

Well to give her some credit, dew takes some time to form at night, and she did say she worked through the night well before saying she saw the buck. the fact he had dew big enough to drip off his antlers, would indicate she was near morning. (that and the fact she said the moon was setting as she saw the buck. Thus giving her ample time to cook the meat.

Huntress; Krystal, having been born into a rougher life than most, learned how to fend for herself at an early age. She understands nature, the balance and hunting better than she understands most people. She is capable of building snares, and tracking down prey animals.

I dated a girl who grew up hunting, she was tougher than she looked, not as strong as her dad but I did see her drag a good size buck with some effort. Sooo It's plausible.

But @violentviolet she left it at just killing it. Though this idea would seem unwise, with walkers possibly around AND at night. she could have skinned it from a nearby tree, cutting up the meat at location of the kill, thus making it more easy to move all the meat.

Edit: Also that she does have a truck, and that greatly helps

EDIT EDIT:

Yes I do realize after I posted this the moon can still be in the sky when the sun comes up. I'm no astrologist. and I feel like an idiot saying this

[Marlowe]

@Aerandir She also has huge guns for some reason. What Wick said was true; Violet is making her character difficult to interact with. But this can easily be corrected. :)

[Wick]

@Aerandir@Violentviolet

Believe it or not I'm not picking at her. I'm trying to help her. I did say a normal girl. I for one would like to see her charachter grow. She is a good writer she just needs to maybe reign in the imagination just a tiny bit.

And yes I am aware that she and I didn't exactly hit it off in the beginning but that is all in the past, where it belongs.

[Aerandir]

@Ambraplot holes in the CS. People can buy 50. cal snipers, her father could have bought it and she had it. (Too lazy to check her cs to see if this is plausible) that said, other people could have done it as well...and died. Also Most of the military's heavy guns could have been left lying around while the men who were using them were...eaten. It's been a year after the outbreak. So she could have been lucky to find it.

and while yes, aiming a bow at the party as a first impression would make it difficult to approach and get to know her. I get that. She was mad....and it's understandable that no one outside has even mentioned her in her post. as she is only right a crossed from the house they were in. (guilty as well, If i caught that I would have certainly made Jason take note and or talk to her.)

@WickI'm not saying you were. After everyone was pointing out things that are wrong with her character or her post, I was just pointing out that she could indeed do some of it.

That said, @Violentviolet, some of what the others said does bring up valid point. Know it all characters are kinda boring, leaves no room for them to grow or learn. But another thing to think about is being detailed in your CS and in your post, on how she gained those skills, items etc.

Though you could have said everything in your post and we still miss it. >.<

[Aerandir]

@belle

I uh don't know if you missed it. But Jason was talking to Kat before. Sorry I didn't tag you.

[Belle]

@AerandirI'm so sorry. I didn't know anyone was talking to her. I'll edit right away.

[Aerandir]

@Belleno worries as I said I didn't tag you in the post so it's partly my fault. Annnnnnd I have a little feeling... Did she mean Jason, that man who gave her a funny look? @tex I noticed this too. How can you get an annoyed look from him hanging his head?
