Return of the Dragonlords (High-Casual)

The girl reacted nicely to Fredrick's offering as she gave the dead rabbit back to the elf woman, much to the centaur's dissaproval who insisted that she should eat it. She returned the favour and gave Fredrick a handfull of red berries, saying that they taste like vanilla then going back to her place and munching on the apple. Fredrick looked at the berries as he took one and put it in his mouth. "Thank you. They're good." He said as he took one more and put the others in his bag as he took out the waterskin and took a sip of water and putting it back in the bag. "I agree with the centaur for once. You really should eat that rabbit. Meat is important to our diet. Why do you think people eat all kinds of things? Because one type of food can't offer us everything. And besides that...I don't know about you but I would get bored eating the same things over and over again." He said as he chuckled.

But just as the tense athmosphere seemed to be calming down a voice from the shadows heats things up again. Fredrick grabbed one of his swords and pulled a quarter of it out as the voice kept talking telling them how vulnerable they are and how easy prey they would be. Normally in this situation Fredrick wanted to call him out and make him prove his words but the girl literally exploded, throwing harsh words at the mysterious man. Amazed, Fredrick put the weapon away and sat back down. "Congratulations. It seems you have guts after all." He said applauding her. But there was much truth in her words. None of them didn't belong here. They were all invaders.

And to make matters worse yet another person, a teenager, by his looks even younger then the girl pops up out of nowhere and talks to the girl who was clearly familiar with him. Then the arrogant guy rises up from the ground, clearly bothered by all the events taking place, transforms into a demon and starts a huge rant as he directed very harsh words towards the centaur and the mysterious person from the shadows. Fredrick was shocked. He knew about the existence of demons but never actually saw one. Or perhaps he did, but they were disguised like this one was. After the demon finished his rant he walked away.

For Fredrick this was the drop that filled the glass. Although the centaur and the mysterious guy from the shadows totally deserved every word that the demon directed towards them, he just couldn't take it anymore. "You know what girl? You're right. We're nothing but invaders and we don't belong here. Which is why i'm gonna do the right thing and walk away, like our demon friend did." He said as he rised up, took his side bag, putting it on his shoulder, checking his weapons and taking his cloak from the ground as he shook it hard once and equipped it while he was walking away, covering his head with the hood. "And I advise the rest of you to do the same." He said to the rest of the arrivals without looking at them as he took a first step back inside the forest, followed by the other, dissapearing in it's darkness.

Return of the Dragonlords (High-Casual)

Wow, it seems like a lot has happened in the OOC while I was slumbering in my bed. I'm at work now but once I get home i'll read the IC posts that came after me and see what I can come up with.

Regarding this issue though, I can say that I get where Ollumhammersong is coming from. I was never able to whistand fast-paced RP's and it takes a lot of time to read all the posts the posts that everyone has posted after you, especially if they're big.

Some people have the time to post even twice a day but that dosen't automatically mean that everyone should be able too. That being said, I hope Ollum dosen't quit because of the RP's pace, which for the moment is manageable, at least for me anyways.

As for the prospects of a possible posting order I'll be Switzerland. I don't approve it but i'm not against it either. I will say this though. I just quit on an RP because of this posting order thing, so yeah...

Brexit

As a european myself I have to say that personally I think that the EU is a piece of trash that does nothing but to devour the national identity of every country in it, as well as imposing absurd laws and austerity measures that do nothing but wrong. The EU is nothing more but a United States wannabe.

But to answer your question, I think they should leave. The less states the better.

Return of the Dragonlords (High-Casual)

I just realized that Kynna is literally the youngest person there. Lol.

Also, @LPFan, be prepared. Fredrick just made a breakthrough and didn't even mean to.

@Aerith of Brae

Sooo, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Return of the Dragonlords (High-Casual)

Fredrick was checking the meat when all of a sudden an elf female appeared from behind the wall that the girl was cowering next to, basically telling him to leave the girl alone and also telling the other guy, with a demanding tone to come out of the shadows. "I'm not scaring anyone, it's not my fault she's jumpy." He said without looking at her. It was only when she sat at the fire that Fredrick raised his eyes, looking at her. She was beautiful, that was undeniable, but then again, elven females had that advantage, of being very beautiful. Then he watched her as she pulled out a dead rabbit from her bag and offered it to the girl.

The other guy decided to follow the elf's advice as he came towards the fire but the words he spoke from his mouth didn't fell good on Fredrick's ears. He was so arrogant and full of himself, Fredrick was surprised he could still walk. If there was one thing he hated about other people it was exactly these two traits. Fredrick gave him unpleasant looks as he watched him lean down on the ground against some ruins and closing his eyes to sleep. He was definetly going to have to keep an eye on this guy. At least until the morning comes, because after that he was determined to move on and get out of this forest. Then he turned back to the girl watching her as she was wheeping and cuddling the dead rabbit as if she was mourning him. She was definetly the weird type, and with each action she was getting more weirder.

The elf was clearly trying her best to make the girl feel better, which was understandable since she was scared out of her mind, but she had no reason to be. Right now at that very moment the only thing Fredrick wanted was for the night to pass faster so he could leave already. These ruins were slowly becoming way too crowded for his liking. He checked the meat once more and after seeing that it was ready, he grabbed the stick and pulled it out of the fire as he sinked his teeth into it and took a bite. As he was chewing on his food the girl pulled out a flute from her bag and started singing a song with it.

It was magical, mesmerising, so beautiful. A smile developed on Fredrick's face as he remembered the good old days with his parents, then the sadness of his mother's death, how he and his father abandoned civilization and moved in a cabin in the mountains, the good moments with his father teaching him how to hunt, how to survive in the wilderness and how to use all kinds of weapons then culminating with the anger and frustration he felt as his father died in his arms after that accursed hunt. The girl's song made all of these images appear once again in his mind as a tear developed on his right eye as he quickly wiped it off when the others weren't paying attention.

Then a centaur appeared as she was singing. His father told him about these beasts. He also told him that if he was ever to encounter one, to be very careful and always on his guard as they are not trustworthy. After the girl stopped singing the centaur spoke, but he only did so with the elven woman, totally ignoring everyone else and to make matters worse, calling them barbarians. That phrase really made Fredrick's blood boil as he was doing his best to ignore the beast and keep his head cool. The elven woman however was clearly becoming annoyed by the way the girl was treating that rabbit, which was supposed to be eaten not mourned oven. "Don't bother, she clearly dosen't eat meat." He said to the elf as he finished eating and threw the stick away.

"I tried giving her an apple before you arrived but she didn't even move." Said Fredrick as he reached out for his bag and again pulled the apple out as he rised up on his feet and went to the girl as he gently rested the apple on her lap. "Here, eat it! It's big, nice and juicy, totally meat free. And stop acting silly, nobody's trying to hurt you." Said Fredrick patting her on her left cheek and going back to his spot as he sat down but giving the centaur mean looks.

One Rainy Night in Chicago- Superhero/ Vigilante RP (NO SUPERPOWERS)

There was one idea I had for this game that I wanted to bounce off people and see if they thought it was good or terrible. Specifically, I was playing with the idea of requiring two separate character sheets for a vigilante character (players of course are free to play as something other than a vigilante if it fits into the story). One is a full sheet, everything about that person. Their name, age, personal history, everything. This is only for that player and the GM, though. What everyone else in the RP gets to see is just what's publicly known about the vigilante. I was thinking it might take the form of a police dossier or something.

I want to get more into the ethics and difficulties of being a superhero, and giving more importance to secret identities is one way to do it. Revealing your identity to someone willingly should be a gesture of enormous trust and faith. However, having it discovered by accident or force should be a life-changing and dangerous event. Either way, I feel like there's great potential for drama and character development there.

Is this a feature people would be willing to try in this game or is it too much of a complication?

@Polyphemus

That sounds absolutely great. It'll make things a lot more realistic. I'm up for it.

Return of the Dragonlords (High-Casual)

To be honest I didn't wanted to post today, but I haven't been in a good fantasy RP for a long time so I was pretty impatient & excited myself. Plus i've been playing Skyrim for the past two weeks so that kind of feeds my desire for fantasy too.

Return of the Dragonlords (High-Casual)

Well, Fredrick is not exactly a monument of niceness. I'm sorry if that's what you were expecting of him.

Return of the Dragonlords (High-Casual)

@Aerith of Brae Lol! Yeah, that's not nice of him! :)

*looks at the dwarf* You're kinda big for a midget are you?

Return of the Dragonlords (High-Casual)

The young woman responded negatively at his questions. This made Fredrick very upset as he closed his eyes and looked the other way. After opening them he saw another guy in the distance, coming close to this place. "Well it looks like this fire is attracting all kinds I see." He said turning his view back to the girl only to see her extremely scared and backing out towards what seemed like a hole or something. Although the hole was kind of small, her slender figure could probably fit inside. Fredrick rolled his eyes at her reaction to him. "You have no reason to be afraid of me okay? I only hurt those that deserve it." He said. "Here. I'm putting my sword away if that's what scares you." He said as he slided his sword back in it's sheath.

Fredrick decided to face the facts and give up on chasing that thief. He had slim chances or catching him in this darkness, even though he was hurt and likely to be bleeding, and besides, he got his stuff back so that's what was more important. He took one more look at the guy in the distance and then back at the girl. "So what do you say if I use your fire for the night?" He said as he sat down in front of the fire. "I was going to make one for myself but it's a shame since this one is already available." He continued as he removed his cloak, placing it on the ground next to him and putting his side bag on his lap, opening it, putting the waterskin inside and pulling out something covered in paper and tied with a string.

He took one more look at the girl who was still standing next to that hole with her stuff in her hands and a terrified face. "You can stay there all night if you wish, it matters less to me! Once the morning comes i'll be on my way anyway." He said as he removed the paper, revealing a large piece of beef, preserved with salt so it dosen't rot. He then put the paper that covered it on the edge of the fountain and put the meat on it as he pulled out his dagger, started cutting a piece and then stabbing it with a stick that was near him, putting it to roast on the edge of the fountain. After all that he wrapped the meat back in paper, tied it with the string and put it back in the bag.

"So? Are you really gonna stay there all night?" He asked as he grabbed his dagger and put it back in the sheath. Then he went back to his bag and pulled out a nice green apple, showing it to her. "Apple? No? Suit yourself!" He continued as he put the apple back in the bag and grabbed the stick, checking on the meat. It didn't take long for the cold and refreshing air of the night around too fill with the smell of roasting beef. "It looks like we have a shy one over there." Said Fredrick as he kept taunting her, hoping to get a reaction, and he pointed to the strange guy in the distance. Whether or not he was dangerous it didn't matter to him. If he was enjoying his life he better not be.
