Spy Academy: An Espionage Tale

@Avanhelsing I will post soon but I am waiting for @Infernal Flame to move her character into the kitchen as well. She has candy!

Spy Academy: An Espionage Tale

I am really interested to explore my characters development after he is responsible personally or as a team that has to kill. It could be a pretty heavy burden for him and I don't know what he will be like on the other end. I mean we are playing 15 year old's. I think when I was that age I was just trying to get my first growth spurt. lol

I think I got it

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

<Snipped quote by World Traveler>

Maybe you don’t have the same vision of reality as me - if you live in Uganda I presume school children who are 15 that HAVENT killed are rare and school children that HAVE killed are reality.

Sounds like you’re not looking for realism (your suggested question shows that) and more the opposite. I don’t see why you’d change that rather than embrace it. You don’t HAVE to like fun settings where the sun always shines. You get to choose that yourself.

Read the setting and read it correctly. If someone proposes a fun scenario where the setting is happy and whatever, the question “will we kill people” isn’t really relevant. It’s not about mindsets, it’s about reading the setting and understanding it.

Having had family who taught in Uganda, I can promise you that there are only EXTREMELY small pockets of places where it is common that a 15 year old has killed someone. Plus the characters we are playing in the role play are people people from the USA, Britain, Japan, Canada, and a few other countries who have been selected to be part of a special secret prep school.

I asked if our characters would being killing people and the GM said yes. I am fine with this, but it means my character will likely have a slight mental breakdown when he comes to the first time he is involved with a killing and I am used to being the only character who has this type of response in these types of role plays.

Again I am enjoying and like this role play a lot. Just venting about my own weakness for not removing hard realities and mindsets from my writing and views my character would have.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

I sometimes find it hard to turn off my realistic brain for more fun loving role play. It is like being in a Disney movie, but being from the real world and being a realist haha.

Role Play: "Lets have a fun school based spy role play!"

Role Play: "Students are 15, laughing, flirting, and chatting and talking about this and that."

Me: "Will our characters have to kill people? Cause it doesn't look like any of our characters have ever done that."

Note this is in no way a criticism of the role play or anything. More just my inability to sometimes have the same mindset / tone as a role play presented. Anyone have any advice on how to work on breaking out of that type of mindset?

@Agent 47 Question - Does the school put the kids in situations where they will need to kill people?

Spy Academy: An Espionage Tale

The trio was now back together after each of them finished unpacked their belongings. Devin lead the way as they made their way to the kitchen where others had come to the same solution for their hunger. He could hear cooking and clacking in the kitchen so he was even more confident ramen was the way to go. 'Too many cooks in the kitchen with this group likely meant too many blades in trained hands' he figured.

After smelling and now seeing the french toast Devin almost reconsidered his plans; but, a short scan informed him that there was no syrup. 'It would be down right unCanadian of me to have one without the other' he thought while Chris put ketchup on his. Recommitting to his ramen plan he got started.

During his sort searched for a pan Devin listened in on the conversations around the kitchen. Some more introductions were taking place as Sunny bound around the room with a smile. 'Her unlimited energy is likely her true special power.' Devin assumed she had traveled ahead of everyone and gotten used to the timezone.

One of the other students said the french toast was for everyone, but Devin couldn't believe that. With only 12 slices and 12 people here he was positive it would take more than one slice to fill anyone up. His mother always said he was a empty pit for food and he lived up to it.

Grabbing a big pot and filling it with some water he then set the water on the stove top and turned it to boil. Tearing off the Top Ramen packaging he then tossed the dry noodles into the water. Leaning back against the kitchen counter he decided to start a new conversation.

"So about what the Headmaster said?" He started. "Anyone have an idea of what sort of challenges we are going to have thrown at us?" He spoke openly. Looking at anyone who heard him. Considering no one in his family had been to the school he didn't have any second hand experience to go off of. His mother warned him that was the most dangerous missing piece of information.

@Avanhelsing

I can understand the frustration - To be honest if you were to delete the original post and possibly Re-post it with some edits and have your character enter and introduce himself in the Kitchen we can have the characters there be introduced to you. Unfortunately some of it was timing as my character and two others were in the middle of a collaborative post when you had your character enter.

By no means was I trying to ignore you, but rather my character was somewhat over the french toast conversation (Just wait till he hears that is what is actually being cooked in the kitchen lol

Again I understand the frustration, but I think your post was the casualty of a shifting scene. If you would like help on your post I am here to assist. As I said my character will be in the kitchen in not too long.

@Avanhelsing

At the moment most seem to be moving to the kitchen yes. Some first went to put their bags in their room (My character unpacked his things both normal and spy) and is now going with two others to the Kitchen where 4 or 5 people already are. Thankfully it is a big kitchen and Devin only needs one pot and stove top :)

Apologies for the long post of nothing interactive for the most part. I tend to jump deep into my characters when they are left alone haha

Still Devin, Nikki, and Kat should be making their way back to those in the kitchen.

By the way is it about lunch time or more dinner time in the game @Agent 47?
