The upside of winter is you can buy a gallon of ice-cream on the way to work, and leave it in your car until you get home without worrying about it melting.

Bio

-There will be delays in replies. Largely due to working overtime, voluntary obligations; other RPs and online-things may compete for my attention.

'Bout me:
Started RPing (badly) back in '05, mostly doing nation-RPs with an emphasis on technology and strategy, later edging out to character-espionage and military-tactics before doing "less serious" character roleplays that were outside of the 2005-2008 continuity.

That's when I went to Dead-Frontier, and found the RP community there, joined a clan, did some pretty good roleplays and pretty much loosened-up my online-personality. When the clan-leader decided to move her RPs here, most of the clan followed.

Took a course in technical-writing back in '08, so now I may sometimes use the semicolon correctly.

In 2010 I dusted off the old nation-RP continuity I had, doing a few hetelia-esque RP-shenanigans there..

RP-Habbits: I tend to geek-out on little technical-details, and sometimes infer how those details would impact the background of the roleplay. Great for world-building, not so great when you had a perfectly good plotline and I just MacGyver it off the rails (though I usually er to the side of amusement, sometimes it creates very grim side-stories).

Fair, I'm just remembering how we used to deal with 150 player dogpile-RPs back when I was doing nationbuilding-stuff. Since that was the only way to keep posts organized by location/ability-to-interact and institute a posting-order while encouraging collaborative-posts since not doing those things would be 500+ posts per RP-thread/day. And doing so usually cut IC posts down to like 15/day/thread.

Our group, thankfully, isn't that big.

Pretty sure we still call it rabbit-posting since the posts multiply like rabbits.

I feel this is de way.


Alternate-plan, a thread for each building.

Or a thread where the IC/OOC/Character tabs are individual buildings

Or, collaborative posts, so you get fewer giant posts rather than a full page of single-paragraph posts.

Or all of the above when we start getting like 50 players having at this.
Despite the obvious need for one, nobody in the condo appears to be a qualified therapist.

So we'll nominate Max.
Have the centaur give them walkies?

Or hire someone to tie them up, idk.

Lilith could probably bite them and paralyse them until the moon-thing is over.
-Or the gorgon could petrify them for the night.

Almost have a character-sheet.


Just need to figure out how she'd annoy Velvet.

Y'know, aside from employing a denial-of-service dog on her place of work.

We could probably rig up a service-doggo illusion to keep people from walking behind the centaurs and driders...

But in Lilith's case the dog may end up climbing walls, and sitting down would cause them to effectively be sitting on the doggo-illusion.

She probably would dress her up as a service-dog and make it Velvet's problem at the bar instead of actually helping.

"That's not to say it doesn't have its uses, though. Even if my contacts slip or I let my fangs show at work, a little primping and preening in the break room mirror means nobody will ever think I'm not human!"


Don't vampires still lack a reflection?

*reads above*

Oh, neat.

I wonder if she likes garlic and onions...


<Snipped quote by Foster>

How about a ghost possessing someone who's in a long term coma, believed to be a vegetable


Well, @Theyra expressed interest in being a ghosty, so I'll stick a spider-mastermind of a trickster... probably with a pet mimic or twenty.
<Snipped quote by Foster>

Oh no
Is your prankster a fuckin spider person


I was tempted to do that, or a mimic (but we have a shapeshifter for that), or another kitsune for the dogpile.
-A mimic essentially being a shapeshifter with poor attention to detail.

Pretty sure we can have a pet mimic as an npc everyone can mess with, though. Or... a horde of mimics as someone's minions.

Yes, I know. I'm being despicable.

That or a ghost that possesses stuff. And would need to animate a manequin in order to kinda-sorta blend-in (or just not be seen).
-A ghost would be kinda fun since how the heck is a vampire supposed to kill a ghost?
So what's the tally so far?

We got:
2 kitsune
1 vampire
1 werewolf
1 dragon
1 mothman
1 mermaid
1 human


So what you're saying is... we need a spooder.
