Eidolon: Conspiracy Theory

...Emily knew that she shouldn't have left the dorm today.

She could feel it in her bones that morning. Today should have been a day where she'd just stay in her dorm, under her blankets and on her computer writing up her various ideas.

...Instead, she decided to go to Mario's. It was a diner she didn't frequent, but she heard good things about it. It was to be just a quick breakfast and she'd be out of there. To her surprise, her roommate, Ashley, was also going there. She also noticed a familiar looking crow outside, but...she wasn't sure if that was the same crow as before.

She had just been eating a delicious omelette when all hell broke loose. Her eyes were wide as some invisible force rampaged throughout the diner!

When that brief moment came...Emily instinctively looked outside, and saw the figure...staring into the diner with a look of concentration. Before the questions could come to Emily's mind, everything was engulfed in flames and...

---

She awakes with a start...in a bar?

Looking around, Emily began to curl in on herself. This was most definitely not the type of place she would frequent! She also noted that she was not alone. Ashley was there! There was also a flashy looking man, and...the crow.

At each of their spots was...a card? Looking at the card, Emily felt like she was looking at the very first book that truly made her fall in love with writing and gave her that aspiration to become a writer!

She looked up to the bartender and immediately noticed his sharp yellow eyes. She couldn't help but think of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the so-called monster brought back from the dead had such yellow eyes.

She is brought out of her observations when the man informed them all that they were dead. At first she could only let out a quiet disbelieving, "...What...?" in response to the news. She looks to the flashy and gaudy man as he celebrates the crow's death and she glares at him.

She then brings her attention back to the barkeep as she realizes that he could be lying about this whole matter of being dead! Before she could ask about that, the crow actually spoke! That was the voice she imagined a crow in the past having! She answers the crow, emboldened by the fact that he actually spoke and that this wasn't a trick, "....We're here because this is some form of afterlife. Of course, to think an afterlife would actually exist..."

She then looks to Ashley as she asks her question, and she comments, "That's a very good question. I'm guessing from our surroundings, this is neither Heaven nor Hell,"

She then asks the barkeeper, "....Is this the part where we are judged and sentenced? Or are the tales I've heard so far incorrect?"

....She really wished she had just slept in today...

Also, if no one objects I'd like to do a minor retcon and move the start of the campaign from Buffalo to NYC; it shouldn't impact the overall story much but after thinking abt it I just like the vibes better =V

@ctrlsaltdel

No objections from me. ^_^

I've been busy today and just recently got access to the internet.

As for that sure, since I plan go make two NPC ties for Ashley let's make the last one as PC one.

1. Professor Rudolph is like a father to me.
2. I wish Mr. Whitlock would just leave me alone.
3. Emily and I know where the lines are drawn.

It appears that Emily is a victim of plagiarism and pretty distrustful to the point that a crow is her best friend. Ashley is a girl focused on her studies so they could probably some sort of 'we both want to be left alone, let's stick together and do our stuff in silence.

They could be roommates in a dorm as well.

@Digmata

Sounds great to me. I'll go ahead and add Ashley to Emily's Ties.
I can see them being roommates in a dorm as well. ^_^

[X] Pet Sounds: You can talk to any non-human animal. You can understand human speech, and anyone with an unsealed Eidolon can understand you.

@XxFellsingxX

I just saw this ability and I realized something: This ability essentially makes The Crow this team's version of Morgana! (Since nobody can understand Morgana unless they've been in the Metaverse in P5?)

This is definitely going to make the dynamic between Luka and The Crow much more hilarious.

Hopefully the Crow won't start telling other team members to go to sleep. XD

Eidolon: Conspiracy Theory

@Guardian Angel Haruki, let's go ahead and keep ties to one sentence. I like the backstory you've developed, but the tie itself should be just a snapshot of how your character feels about the target of the tie. It's supposed to change fairly often too.

That said, you could probably do yours as "The Crow is a better friend than any human I know" and "Mallory taught me not to trust anyone".

@ctrlsaltdel

OK. I'll go ahead and adjust the two ties I have accordingly. Thank you!

<Snipped quote by Guardian Angel Haruki>

This question escaped my notice until just now. Sorry about that.

To answer the question though, while I would enjoy a Tie existing between Emily and Luka, I feel that they should start out not knowing each other.

Also, as an FYI, Ties are only meant to be one sentence long.

@rush99999

No worries. I edited the question in after the fact. ^_^

Makes sense. I'll leave Luka as an unknown.

Thank you for letting me know. Before I delete what I've written so far and change them to just 1 sentence, I'd like to double check with the DM and see if more than 1 sentence is okay. If not, I'll be sure to change the Ties to just 1 sentence. ^^"

@ctrlsaltdel What say you to Ties being more than one sentence?

Eidolon: Conspiracy Theory

I have added an NPC Tie. An enemy plagiarist!

Eidolon: Conspiracy Theory

@ctrlsaltdel Thank you! I've already gotten started on the Ties

@XxFellsingxX I've added The Crow as one of the ties. Let me know what you think and if you need me to change anything. ^^"

@rush99999@Digmata Would either of you be interested in Emily having a tie with one of your characters? ^^"

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Hello.

I am alive, and am very sorry for the disappearance there. My wife and I rapidly needed to find a new location to live and have been packing our house over the last few weeks. I could have done better staying active on the guild and informing folks, but I'd rather say something late than never. I'll be moving midway through January after focusing on the holidays.

@Fading Memory

No worries, it's completely understandable.
I hope your move goes well, and I hope things get better for you.

Eidolon: Conspiracy Theory

so I'm open to a fifth player but 4 seems like plenty to get started with. if everyone agrees, what other business do we need to take care of? does anyone have a recommendation for how often everyone should try to post? i'm thinking roughly every three days but i'll defer to anyone who has a preference.

@ctrlsaltdel

I agree that 4 seems like plenty to get started with. ^_^

I was thinking if there was any other business to take care of, it might be seeing if any player characters have any connections with each other. Would they be friends, or do they simply work/study at the same location? (I'm guessing this is the Ties section?)

For example, I imagine Emily Sanderson may have tried to befriend @XxFellsingxX's The Crow in the past, through giving The Crow food. Whether she was successful or not is up to @XxFellsingxX. ^^"
If her attempt was successful, I imagine she would call the Crow "Nevermore,"

Right now, considering the holiday season, I'm not sure if setting a requirement for timing when it comes to posting is a good idea. ^^"

I'm also of the general mindset that setting a requirement for posting in a certain amount of time adds more pressure than what's needed. The important aspect is communication, considering how RL can get chaotic. If I'm not able to post due to life, I'll do my best to let everyone know.
