This is the flow of events in my mind. In my opinion, there's no way Max could've gotten from Achi's room to the stairwell after hearing Iris' roar but before she lunged and jumped on Velvet. The same goes for Suzy. By the time Miyuki left, iris was already half-way through her lunge, and taking into account Miyuki didn't run, but rather just walked, there's likewise no real way that Suzy and Glasses-Gorgon could get to Velvet and iris before the latter had already leapt onto and started beaing velvet up.

@Xaltwind

Not defensive, just pointing out that Max went from “doorway of 107 and 1st floor hallway” to “1st floor hallway” (which, at the time of posting had been assumed to be on the same floor).

EDIT
While i love everyone’s creativity in headers, @dragonydas providing a unified one for all players might help slightly to avoid future confusions.

@LupusIntus Ooh, nice catch, missed that.
@CitrusArms This, yes, consistency is what I desperately need, I have some issues lmao. The problem with this chain of events is Miyuki rather explicitly waits for Iris to jump before she heads to reception, so she'd still be there when Max ran in. Might be a wise idea to ask @Xaltwind about this now as well.

@Lemons

Can absolutely respect that.
And (in the kindest possible way that I hope translates over a text-based medium <3) I wouldn't stress yourself out too much and I hope you dont feel rushed to reply because I, for one, am cool waiting until we know everyone is on the same page.

I think this is where my confusion is centered. I read the bit underneath it, "If it wasn’t obvious by the laughing growls and barks she let out while attacking, she was having the time of her life," as Iris connecting with a good solid hit or two. And it doesn't quite ring true for me that if Miyuki left post-Iris transformation as seems to be written, she'd get to reception in time for Suzy to get there before Velvet took a hit.

<Snipped quote by BunniesOfDoom>

I really hope it doesn't sound like I just want Velvet to get the shit beaten out of her lmao, it just doesn't really feel like it makes sense that all of these things could happen SO close together without any advance knowledge. The way I read it, Iris doesn't even really make much noise for Max to hear until she's already attacking Velvet, right? So it only makes sense that she'd strike prior.

I'm really really sorry for bothering you guys with this and forcing rewriting, I just don't really know how I'd write it actually happening since it feels like events seem to overlap.

@Lemons

For what it's worth:
"You,” she roared as she clenched her muscles, the pupils in her eyes finally expanding as the shift began to course through her body. - this is what I was responding too most with Max's actions.
Seeing as there are only 6 rooms per floor and it was specified as 'hallway' (of which I assume there is 1), doesn't seem like much of a stretch that Max and Achieng are like... RIGHT THERE.

EDIT: but also, I'm pretty used to this kind of wibbledy-whobedy timey whimey fluid action sequences from many previous RPs ive participated in with large casts. I just go with the flow, yo, so I'm fine running with however the poster before me interprests things. :)

Umbra Rose Condos

I think the thing I'm most confused by is how Max and Suzy are both able to stop Iris/get Velvet out, when she took the lunge before Miyuki even left.

@Lemons

🤷‍♂️ I dun no

Umbra Rose Condos

@Dragonydas@Kuro@BunniesOfDoom@LupusIntus Okay, wait, I'm trying to figure out the order of events here. Miyuki left after Iris lunged at Velvet, not before. So wouldn't any assistance to the scene have only come after Iris had been in wolf mode for a while? As I'm writing the beginnings of a post out I'm starting to realize that the order of events doesn't make a ton of sense. Otherwise Max would've seen Miyuki, right?

I feel like we should iron this out now before things get more confused. Tl;dr, wouldn't Iris spend a little bit of time ripping and tearing at Velvet before anybody else can?

@Lemons

How I read it:
Miyuki and Velvet walk into hall.
Velvet gets chompy
Iris walks in, transforms and is big mad.
Miyuki nopes the fuck out
Max hears Iris being big mad.
Iris lunges to attack
Max runs up and hucks a steak
Iris becomes good doggo
Thelia rushes in.

Happy to assume Max runs in after a few back and forth attacks by the wolf. Its loosey goosey, I’ll roll with whatever you write

EDIT: we were initially writing under the assumption the ‘1st floor’ included the front desk, which could gave been no more than 20ft away so it’s fine to go with what you think feels best, imho

Iris tailing behind with her tail wagging like a happy puppy! "Where we going?"

@BunniesOfDoom

Iris running happily alongside him like its a race, Max trips over her foot and steps on a sloomba, goes sliding down the hallway straight into Thelia knocking off her glasses, turns to stone before fall comes to a grinding halt against series of trashcans

Umbra Rose Condos

These are the details I need.

@CitrusArms

Yes, Max is terrified of the organic roombas (one of them disolved his left dress shoe once)

Umbra Rose Condos

I wonder if they hold a blood drive in the city every two or three months, with some of the blood coming to the condo? Might be easier than relying on old blood from hospitals and blood banks. Or if some enterprising witch has come up with a shelf-stable long life blood or blood substitute?

@Expendable

idk man, Velvet seems like the kinda person to really appreciate all-natural 'free range' food sources

Umbra Rose Condos

Ryū is a bit of a blank page arc-wise, so I'm still looking for potential play mates now that her adventure in the restaurant is coming to a close!

@Red Wizard

Max sprinting full-tilt down the hallway in the opposite direction like the final girl in a horror movie.

Umbra Rose Condos

Wondering if I should do a "Suzy murder mystery" arc in the future. 🤔

@Kuro

Once everyone has settled into the groove of how this RP plays I would love it if every character had their own little arc. I already have one for Max that DM’d to @dragonydas 😅

and we know that at least one particular employee is about to get turned to stone. We all know this.
