Also, I mean, well, anyone else kind of sick of slavers? They've become the new bandits, when you get right down to it. Nothing wrong with having them in your plot if it's important, but it seems like every fantasy now-a-days has to have slavers in it.
Can't say I've come across them that much in my recent reading. I don't mind them if they are worked into the world/story, but we don't really have precedent for them abducting boats of people.
Fair enough. I must say, I wasn't entirely in love with the slaver explanation, which seemed somewhat sloppy. General transport then? So be it.
You guys are fine with me popping in a character at any time right?
The more the merrier.
No problem here.
As for the ship, I imagined it was one of those water taxis like what they have in Morrowind. I deliberately left it unidentified, though, in case anyone wanted to work something out with it.
About the character interactions, again, people on public transport rarely get to know one another much, but if it helps quirk and I are circus folk--presumably the rest of our troupe died in the wreck, which is part of the reason Armas is so uncomfortable around everyone else.
@Jeroic: I can't seem to catch you in the chat so I'll just take a stab at the Wisseau thing and we'll see how it turns out.
More people are okay. We are not in any plot-movement yet, so there is still time for new characters. :)
Also, I agree with the general merchant-type ship. Just people trying to get to some port and paying money for the trip.
Everyone should get on #til (irc.chatspike.net). The place is empty most of the time, and it'd be a good place to discuss this stuff.
we actually have/Had? a chatroom but the problem is that very few people are on all at the same time. I think, though, if any important decisions get made on either chatroom then it should be posted here, unless it's a surprise.
I've been asked to get the plot moving again, so apologies to Writ and anyone else who wanted to jump in, you'll just have to catch up.
And I've been stopping by the chat when I'm able, usually in the afternoon or evening because I thought you were haunting it Jeoric, but it's always empty nowadays. If y'all wanna schedule something though, that's cool.
I am usually on in the early afternoon. But we also have this thread and PM boxes if we need them.
Where's the chat at?
I'm playing with tenses, hopefully it doesn't annoy anyone too much.
We'll have to set up a time to meet, but yeah, you're all welcome.
Channel: #apocrypha
For the record, Lady N, is Mielle a Breton? I would suppose so, given the name, but I would like to be sure.
Yep, Breton. Was thinking mid to late 30s, up to 40 years old. Upper end of average looking. Grew up and is technically based in Wayrest, though now days travels a lot.
In my head she kinda looks like your Salome, N.
My computer broke.
So I may be hard to access for a few days, but I should be around enough for the RP, once or twice a day. I am going to recover the short stories lying unfinished on the other computer (everything turns on, it just can't read the monitor, mouse and keyboard and I know those work because I'm using them on this one) and then I am going to, very slowly, rip it apart with my bare hands in vengeance for years of frustration.
You should totally go Office Space on it.
I thought about posting, but I am actually waiting for Lady N or Biblio. Both have not posted in a while, Lady N longer than Biblio.
Should I wait longer or not?
You can skip me if you want, my character doesn't really have any way to respond to the events. I'm assuming that she's letting others take the lead since she's out of her elemnet and has no idea what's going on.
Heh, works for me.
*cough*
Whenever any of you are ready...
Come now, education is overrated, surely?
You can't rush genius.
Had a busy weekend, but I'll try to make a post today.
I like the eagerness but, well, for my attitude on writing read Gimli's big poetic monologue on the caves of Helm's Deep.
I'll be leaving tomorrow and will be gone for the weekend for my birthday and to spend time with family. I'll probably be back by Monday. Feel free to roll along without me if you get too impatient, I'll catch up. Laria can have Szuradj and Q can take Armas if need be.
Later.
All right, I'm trying to un-fuck the Mibbit. So hopefully soon all will be well.
Okay, mibbit's all fixed. Apparently they just wiped the whole thing when someone tried to hack it. So the channel and my nick are safely registered once again.
Is anyone else going to post in Ghostland after Fugu? It has been two weeks since any activity and it is annoying me.
In any case, I will join Ionith soon, Fugu. I have an idea for a new development for Samiya and also plan to come up with a new Snake so I can follow the stuff going on with the army. Things are a bit difficult with the start of the new school year, but I'll make time either tomorrow or Thursday.
I was waiting to see if anyone else had something to say and one thing pushed out another. I'll see if I can't come up with something just to give something a kick, but I also still have a to-be-edited document open down here. If I'm on my PC at all I'll be on mibbit.
I can easily make a post to move things again, if necessary, and you post a lot too. There are more people involved in this. I'd just would like some more input.
Kind of what I was thinking. I think we've had enough weirdo Bosmer inner monologue to last a while, so I wouldn't post unless I could come up with something to do.
I'll give it a few more days and I'll stare at people with puppy eyes for a while. If nothing happened after that, I guess we'll move along and start doing something. I have some ideas.
