Persona: Forget the Night

<Snipped quote by Fury Panda>

not much point with Gummy having posted, imo. dunno how raddy cakes feels about it though.

@Ammokkx

I meant more going forward. Do something closer to like...

Sam
Sam picks up the item unscathed but see's 3 people in front of him. What does he do?

The monster opens up a hole in the cieling and reaches for Eden. Everyone gets one action in that time.

Next post
Explian why actions are ineffective, but advantages/disadvantages it would have given in in the future. Eden awakens.

All in all I see how I acted a bit too quickly, I should have given you all room to breath instead of steam rolling the story. Sorry, I'll do better.

Persona: Forget the Night

@Raddum So what I'm hearing from this is that you'd prefer a slower pace in exchange for more interaction? I can change it up if thats how most people feel, maybe I'm just ADD and felt like something needed to happen, not giving your characters enough room to interact.

Persona: Forget the Night

@Ammokkx So I know you're giving an example of what you'd have preferred, for there to more action for the group as a whole, even if it led to a similar conclusion, to be given more choice for this outcome, etc...

I guess when it comes down to it, I wanted someone to awaken sooner rather than later. I understand that having a small fight beforehand may have been more entertaining, but would have ultimately led to the same outcome because it's what I feel echoes the story I'm trying to tell at this moment.

There are more demons on this train that haven't shown yet, in retrospect I probably should have had them appear as well in my post. I had thought with the door open to the next room as well as losing another person and having a giant hole in the cieling, there would be plenty to write about over the next set of IC posts, but I can add another at anytime if you'd like a secondary threat.

Persona: Forget the Night

@Ammokkx Hey thanks for the feedback, I'll explain my reasoning as well as possible, but try to create a more joyous situation for everyone going forward.

Regarding the door and Sam, I didn't want opening the door to last through another post order. I think it had run it's course, and seemed easiest to roll a success/fail for the person who was going for the tool. This is kind of like a tutorial level or something, and I don't want to focus too much on small problems so that everyone can get their persona's and survive fairly quickly.

The spider situation with eden was also based on RNG. My thought was that because she had rolled to be targeted, and to awaken first. It would be in a situation where the others weren't around to help get across the feeling of hopelessness and activate her persona. Everyone is supposed to be feeling like there's little they can do, so that when they awaken they have a moment of "no screw that, I dont care if its impossible, I'm going to beat this."

It sounds like to some extent this has targeted you OOC more than your characters IC. I'm sorry if I've made you feel you don't have enough effect yet, I'm going to try to be more aware of that with my next world post.

Like I've mentioned before, when you create your post feel free to play within the world post. I shouldn't have written "theres no time to react". Everyone can react. So for example I'm totally cool with "Lock stabbed the scissors into the beasts claw, but with little effect, as it appeared to shake off the pain and continue pulling the girl." or whatever. As long as it doesn't change the outcome right now.

I like the idea of the awakening creating objects (way to go @Raddum!)

I kinda like the thought of having them in the real world too though. Obviously we couldn't summon Personas or anything, and the object might even change form during the dream hour depending on what people choose. But I think it would be cool if when they return to the real world, they each still have some form of whatever it is. Kinda proves that it all really happened, and gives them something physical to look at and contemplate when we eventually get out of the dream hour.

@Aislynn

This is fine to me. I was just trying to say theyd have no use in the real world outside of being a kind of momento.

Persona: Forget the Night

So I think I'll go with Raddums idea.

Each person will awaken with a unique word and dream totem that relates to it. This will be a small item that relates somehow to your personality and willingness to do things that you feel may be imposible. It will only function during the dream hour, when held and the word spoken your persona will manifest.

Persona: Forget the Night

@Aislynn while this is a big part of the games. I think the reason it works is because you get a dungeon worth of time to flesh out charachters and for them to have small changes of hearts etc...in this RP i want everyone to have the use of their persona early. I would think it has more to do here with being willing to face the impossible and allow yourself to do things unimaginable.

Persona: Forget the Night

@Raddum I actually like this alot. Like the inception totems?

Persona: Forget the Night

@Tenma Tendo good question. I hadn't much thought of it. Any ideas anybody?

Could just be like in 2? Your persona is represented by a card with the personas likeness and such. When its awakened you could recieve the card, and than pull it out going forward. Feel like it would be interesting if it almost looked like a trading card or something magic the gathering ish.

Persona: Forget the Night

@Raddum and then the crowbar crew killed each other OOC. The end.
