Contracted - Dead Hopes and Dreams

Sorry for the delay; working on the edit and a few other posts now, not to mention the Arcane game. ><

I WILL PREVAIL.

I fell asleep in the middle of prevailing... >_>

Contracted - Dead Hopes and Dreams

So, all in all we're all thinking the same thing pretty much? We kinda brush over the next day in a post or two, then the next one is starting off the day of the gig.

Sounds nice. I'll edit my post tomorrow to incorporate the following day.

I was thinking that too, but more of summary paragraph of how they spent their day, then at the studio for their practice again, although like last time there is nothing to role-play there. I guess we could do the entire day, or the next day could just be a single scene that we do and we could skip straight to the day of the gig right in the morning. Choices, choices, choices. Need opinions. :D

We hadn't figured it out yet. I guess I was thinking there's a tad bit more to the scene. I suppose we could just figure out who is doing what here then I'll edit my last post into a skip. ^-^ Which one of you will be doing what, and also how far should I skip? Just to the work getting done the next day?

Parker smiled as he took a seat on the floor in front of the chair that was stolen by his favorite four-legged companion, the excitement still painted on his face. "You're damn right they'll remember us," he said, smiling toward his best friend. "I pride myself on being hard to forget." He grabbed another piece of pizza with a chuckle, leaning back against the chair, stretching his long legs on the floor under the coffee table. The thought did hang on him, though, tainting his excitement slightly; much was to be done in a matter of two days. Staring forward, he began to think out loud toward the group. "Matt's right, we need to get on this. Division of labor. Matt, please do check about getting the studio tomorrow night. Søren, you should probably copy the EPs, as our favorite little promoter... unless you'd rather do it, Petra," he nodded in her direction, taking his eyes off the table for a fraction of a second to look her way, then returning them. "Whichever of you does not should help me with creating the set list and fixing the trailer's broken straps; I think it has a flat, as well..." He took a deep breath and sighed it out, trying to relax the load he suddenly felt atop their collective shoulders. "This will be big for us in a big way..."

Eyes still placed on the spot on the coffee table as he listed the effort that needed to be done in a single day without fail, he became a bit unnerved. If the gig were to go right, tomorrow needed to go perfectly. He finished his pizza and handed his crust back to Crocell, forgetting to ask Petra if it was okay as he closed his eyes tight with his other hand on his face - as he always did when he was trying to focus - and began mentally organizing a set list.

The next day was more of a daze to Parker, as he had to struggle to keep his mind in Friday and out of Saturday before it came. Once he managed to do that, though, he could do nothing but panic; the day really did have to go off without a hitch to make sure tomorrow did as well. Tomorrow was all too important.

Parker's alarm had blared him into reality at 7:00 AM Friday morning, ripping him from a dream about the concert. He imaged the entire gang would have had similar dreams that night considering the weight of the event. "Weight" really was the perfect word for it, as the gig tomorrow had a heavy presence that was there since Matt had hit "send". This was the biggest gig Parker had been apart of, and he assumed the rest of them held that same track record. When noon rolled around, Parker figured it was safe to assume Petra was awake and called her before heading off to pick her up on their way to the studio and the trailer, which Parker kept in a spot behind the studio with permission from the owner. Once he and Petra arrived to fix the trailer, Parker saw he was right about the tire being flat and decided it'd be best to start there. It was tedious work fixing broken straps and the tire, taking several hours out of the day. Parker found it nice spending time with Petra alone, as well, although uncomfortable at times; they hadn't been alone much in awhile.

After all the daylight had been burned out, Parker suggested they go back to see if Søren was home so he could help them with the set list, and Parker would cook them something to eat. He was determined to make them something really good before their big show, and so he invited Matt over as well through text, not knowing if he'd be too busy to show up or not. Although they didn't have much to eat in the house they had enough for homemade lasagna, which Parker thoroughly enjoyed making anyway.

Cool. I didn't know if you had any interest in tarot cards or not. Every night, I've been schooling Josh about them 'cause he wants to learn about'em. ^-^

Contracted - Dead Hopes and Dreams

It's based off of an anime, but the anime made a lot of mistakes I won't make. >:D

It's about tarot cards. The basics that you need to know right now is that we will be a family (probably a 'mafia' type, as in extended family are just as close, honorary family is also family, etc, but that doesn't necessarily mean we'll be like a mafia). This family is almost like a... paramilitary group for hire? I'll have you or Josh give me a better word for it if paramilitary is inaccurate. Anyway, some members of the family have bonded with the spirits of the twenty-two Major Arcana cards from the spirit deck, each with their own minor ability that I am linking to the main teachings and my interpretations of the cards. Lee Lee and I are working out the abilities now, we a nearly finished.

When you read tarot cards, two cards being near each other can change their meanings, so each card will have a person's power that makes theirs react differently. I haven't decided if I'm giving everyone multiple power interactions that CHANGE their powers, or if I'm just giving everyone a negative and a positive. Probably the second one.

Now, the unique part! :D As a tarot reader myself, I will actually be doing tarot card readings to guide this game. ^-^ I will have my wonderful co-GM, Lee Lee, interpret them with me. They will play a large part in the game for as many reasons as I can muster. I do hope you'll join us. ^-^

I hope so. :D I love Lee Lee's writing which is why I know I'll love co-GMing with her in The Arcane Family. Justice might wanna get in on that too when it opens, but Idk if he shares your interest, Doshua. But do make sure he posts on here soon, please?

I'm excited about our first gig. >:D Since it'll be our first one, I'd like to do a test run of role-playing it, if that's okay? Just one post each about how they're playing, what they're feeling, things they see and do. It'll be a nice way to express our characters, and then we can decide if we want to make a habit it of it or not.

See, I told you, Lee Lee!

Something Borderlands..?

Borderlands is a HUGE love of mine; everything about it, especially the second one; is my type of thing and just RIPE with a world to RP in, which I would absolutely LOOOVE if someone joined in? I'd hope to make it kind of a romantic thing, since romance usually mixes with Wasteland really well. Anyway, the rest of the idea is up in the air if someone is willing to help. In fact, I'll create the whole idea myself if someone would actually do this with me!

Also, this is one of the few -- VERY FEW -- fandoms that I think works using canon characters, if you would like.

Thanks.<3
