FrankenDaughter — Roleplayer Guild

(To be clear, I won't be doing song ratings. It feels like something forced when I talk about music usually, just as bad as when someone asks me to list my top ten albums or whatever).

@Altered Tundra

This is an evocative little piece. Very much puts me in mind of a relationship montage, with melancholy being a strong theme personally. I can look back at any of my relationships that have ended and pull up snapshots and mash them together for a distressing little slide show. The exchange at the four-minute mark is particularly painful. The way Lovewave's vocalist portrays that conversation is like the end of a very long conversation that has lasted months up to that final moment. There's something to be said for what's lost in translation--I don't speak the language. But I loved this enough I'd definitely be willing to branch out and see what else Lovewave has to offer. A good get.

May I introduce you to... Midori?

Updated relationship sheet today.

This thread will be my repository for character and story concepts I utilize in roleplays on this forum. Some concepts, like The Void, will have their own post without characters as a concept presentation, with a character post after the fact linking back to the main concept. Think of this essentially as a creative resume folder: if I have linked you a specific post in this thread, chances are my interests in your roleplay include introducing the linked concept or at least sourcing my character from it.

Akagalcia, The Exile

@Zarkun

Akagalcia followed hurriedly as Rave rattled off their sitrep and lead them into the rear of the warehouse. As they disappeared from their brand new crime scene, the top-plate of the cargo shell, nested momentarily in dent it had pounded into the warehouse ceiling, fell back toward the floor. It made a queerly soft crunching sound as it crashed into the ground where they had been standing only moments before, swirling more hot steam vapors around the little clearing as they fast-walked in between storage containers.

"Besides, I had planned on seeing more of the universe anyways."

Akagalcia was only dressed out of place in her leathers and hides with turmeric stains on her thighs from what she'd lost of her supper. She shadowed Rave very well, checking her share of corners as Rave saw to his own. <I like this.> There were no pursuant footsteps from the squad they'd left behind, to her relief.

They managed to find a small door, opening into a poorly lit maintenance alley packed with complex piping and chemical fixtures--the warehouse they had been in neighbored a chemical refinery plant, packed to the gills with various industrial features to help safely prepare chemical compounds in bulk before they were divided and packaged so that independent contract freightors could ship such goods in whatever quantity they could, with whatever vessel they could make available for the job. Many of the non-hazardous auxiliary features had componens that exceeded the walls of the facility here.

It would seem impossible to navigate for most people, or at the very least like it would slow them down. Akagalcia though just began contorting in between pipes of varying temperatures and support cables and beams like they... like they were tree branches or bushes or rocks. "How do these ships keep us alive? We bred Theshkelg to go into the deepsky. Your ships belch fire to move as they do, but Theshkelg made our air as they breathed and held valleys and rivers in their bellies. Entire tribes lived out their lives in them when they traveled to other worlds, only knowing ths stars and the deepsky through the Theshkelg's eyes."

While talking, Akagalcia had already traveled almost twenty five feet toward the end of the alley, finding her footing carefully and then pulling herself up or lowering herself down to crouch. Just now she'd caught a sleeve on a large flathead and turned to look back to see Rave's progress as she unstuck herself.

Subbing this thread. I am maxed out commitment wise and am letting you know I won't be jumping in (Don't want to leave any GMs hanging), but I really like this arpee so will be watching it closely. Pretty much guaranteed if one of my arpee's closes out, I will be trying to participate here.

I'll operate through this thread, as I value transparency in mechanics driven narratives like this.

@Rilla-Offer pending
@Alphakoka-Offer pending

In relation to simple reactions between players such as accepting fruits, do players have the option to accept/decline offerings? I only ask because if input between panels is necessary for multiplayer actions to occur, it feels wrong to have not mentioned Rilla/Alphakoka and give them a chance to accept things.
