Private/Closed Plan 9 (Discussion)

[kyuukestu]

Alrighty! Let's talk plot!

I'm getting forest vibes off Kyuu's description, maybe we could make that the exploration's eventual destination

This is indeed the way I see it. We should aim to settle in a forest, or some other location with more abundant vegetation and wildlife. That'd be more favourable than the desert. So I'm thinking we need to start thinking about the world around us and what we're actually going to face. It'd be nice if everyone could input an idea for a section of the story, or a mini-villain.

I'm not sure how drastically the world's changed in 10 years, but I'd assume with the disappearance of most of the humans, the wild animals, particularly the apex predators, have free reign over their respective habitats, and they'd be non-too-willing for a bunch of scrawny 2-legged things to be encroaching on their territory.

So my plot contribution is a [Reclamaition Arc]:

An arc in which, as we move into a more fertile territory, we'd need to deal with the already existing rulers of that territory. I'm thinking of detailing or borrowing a few creatures to make up the ecosystem. So I'll get back to you on that at a later date.

 

[Grand Master Koop]

Yay plot, but our characters are just interacting with each other and the environment, not all the characters have been introduced yet I believe, so plot can be taken slowly.

Well it would be best to lay down a skeleton plot to use as a rough guideline, so...ya know, we’re not just wandering about aimlessly.

I for one agree with Kyuu on the initial idea. It makes the most sense and would add a nice challenge.

It is gonna take awhile to find fertile land/remnants of civilization, so this is essentially starting out as a desperate survival challenge.

 

[Grand Master Koop]

So I guess for now finding a suitable location to settle down is the main objective for our characters.

@5DigitNeb we are currently waiting on Noah to continue. I have a post all typed out and ready, but I'm not going to go on until you post an introduction.

 

[Barefoot_Kittens]

AHHHHHHHHHHHH! WHY ME? I can't go on, yall, cancel the RP- I quit. I typed out at least a solid 2 pages of words, 6 total paragraphs which were saved in the "type a response box". We chilling, the post is chilling, it's all good until i go to type into the discussion thread. Wait a minute... why is their already writing in here? Welp, I may as well just delete it. All deleted, and I'll post what I actually wanted to send. Wait a darn diddly second, this is the RP thread not the discussion thread. Haha, silly me. *10 minutes later* let's check on that post I had saved- ES GONE!

Sorry about that, I'm very upset. I'm never going to be able to reproduce what I had typed- I'm too sad. All you're gonna get is a measly two or three paragraphs while I sulk. Anywho- things will get rolling pretty quickly once Neb gets their post in- we won't have to wait like this anymore.

@Barefoot_Kittens

We've all been there, we all understand XD You're strong to even write something up immediately after the reckoning y'know, I would've gave up.

It's at times like this that I can perfectly envision your reaction while looking at your profile pic.

*sips tea*

My condolences love, a tip from Naruto AU. A number of us use Google Docs or Word to type our posts after a few near rage-quits like this~ ahaha. I myself use Word to pre-write all my posts before copying them over. Such is the pair of an RPers, sadly. But we share in your sorrow.

Ah, the ol' curse of the charms draft. Stuff can discourage you, just try not to reproduce what you made and write it however you normally would. Trust me, none of us actually care how long it is as long as it's has the necessary stuff

 

[Mystic Zander]

@Martin Pine

Marik: Broccoli top?

Me: Where in his bio did I write, ‘green afro’?

Marik: I think he was referring to my abilities allowing me to create vegetation.

Me: New fact. Marik now dislikes broccoli, just to make the small comment a big deal in rp. Lmao

 

[Martin Pine]

@Mystic Zander XD It was in reference to his powers. I think I’ll have Eric call him his actual name like ... maybe once or twice in the entire RP. Vegetable and fruit nicknames galore ;p

I once accidentally deleted a lengthy post I spend a good few minutes writing on mobile. It made me really annoyed.

 

[Grand Master Koop]

But Royal didn’t even talk once today and he got attacked.

Must be the body language.

 

[kyuukestu]

I'd like to point out that the way I'm writing Levia is that, due to being the youngest, she can't exactly remember anything from before the vault. To her, this is essentially going on a trip for the first time. Her sense of danger, seriousness, or concern for their well-being is a bit overwhelmed by sheer wonderment.

Hence why I have her misinterpret most of Marik's emotions since, as far as she's concerned, Toilet Duty in the vault is just about the most dangerous thing in existence.

You're doing a good job at it, portrays Levia as the naïve type.

 

[Grand Master Koop]

@Sky5372 You know you're up right?

 

[kyuukestu]

You're doing a good job at it, portrays Levia as the naïve type.

She isn't naive, just uninformed. For her age, all she can remember is the vault. All the stories are as good as fairy tales to her. She just lacks a sense of gravity for the situation. That'll probably change pretty quickly.

 

[Grand Master Koop]

She is ignorant of the outside world so everything is blissfully positive to her, I don't know this just sounds like Naivety to me.

 

[Mystic Zander]

She’s naive with the outside world, not everything.

I think that’s what Kyuu is trying to convey.

That makes her not naïve? So far I saw her as naïve so I'm commenting that way.

 

[Barefoot_Kittens]

Naive or not, Levia is freaking adorable. Anyways, we kinda are still waiting on Neb to continue. Anyone know where that one ran off to? Should we continue without them?

Edi: according to Neb's status post thing, they are busy with irl stuff. Which is alright, they'll just have to catch up. For now, I'm moving on.

 

[Sky_]

@Sky5372 You know you're up right?

Yup, had to revise for a test yesterday, sorry about that. Will get a response up tonight

 

[Grand Master Koop]

Levia fits under the good kind of childlike attitude, not annoying and well balanced.

Oh hush, I'll get it done in a sec, don't egg me on IC as well. Lemme go have dinner first and then I'll beat you in a race

No rush though, just got bored and saw an opportunity to reply to Marik.

 

[Grand Master Koop]

Kyla reflected the exact opposite of what he wanted from society. Selfishness, arrogance, and anger.

Well that's not how I imagined her to be, Selfish maybe but less so for the rest.

 

[Barefoot_Kittens]

@Mystic Zander I know it seems early. But it's really up to you as to when that merc comes in- probably some time soon. Unless you want to save him for now (in which case I can create another enemy like a wild animal of some kind)

 

[Mystic Zander]

I think dealing with the wild would be best for now. I’d say after we start to get settled, then a villain would be appropriate.

 

[Barefoot_Kittens]

Per tradition, I'll start with an easy opponents. Maybe I can have a beast of some sort go after Jackson and Marik (assuming nobody else followed) and when the others go to help a few more animals show up. At that point it would be (I'm thinking some sort of giant hog) like maybe one animal per two or three children- and they are too far for the adults to even hear or see them.

Everyone good with that?

If we’re so far away that no one can see us, how would the other kids know that we need help?

No objections.

 

[kyuukestu]

RIP I was thinking about posting with Levia, but Kitten beat me to the post.

I suppose fixing rifts like this is Levia's self-imposed job, so she'll probably try to do something about the way the group is fracturing.

Levia: Really!? Not even Five Minutes!

 

[Grand Master Koop]

I don’t know, feel like the hostility Marik showed towards Kyla was a bit unwarranted, like did he actually think she was being serious?

 

[Mystic Zander]

I don’t really see any fractures.

My assumption was Kyla just talked to Marik like that all the time.
And to be quite honest, Marik just wouldn’t care. Words are words.

Edit: What hostility? He wasn’t aggressive in any way. He’s a bit bored.
If anything, Kyla was just randomly super aggressive for no reason.

As a side note, people keep claiming to clash with Marik, but I just don’t see it. Marik just doesn’t argue. He may throw a comment back, but he really doesn't care about the others opinions. He’s mostly just worried about some of them.

I might've also been thinking about having Eric go with Marik only for Kitten to beat me too

... I realise now I think I've just done that to you now

 

[Grand Master Koop]

If you though that was aggressive then you clearly took it too seriously.

 

[Barefoot_Kittens]

Everyone needs to stop assuming that everyone is attacking their characters. Remember that when we post it is from our character's perspective, not ours. Just because Zander's post calls Kyla rude, it doesn't eman that she is, it means that Marik thinks she is. Which is fine, it happens all the time in real life. So do miscommunications and random outburst- don't get made at each other because of such minuscule thigns. If something happens that you don't like, just roll with it- it's just the character, a stupid little kid, making a bad judgement. All of this tensiona dn conflict makes the RP more realistic, keep in mind that it's just an RP- don't take anything personally.

As for the baddies. We'll have Erik notice Jackson and Marik as they begin to wander (at that point they are a good distance away). So It's Marik and Jackson in the lead, with the others like 20-50 feet away from them. My next post will have the hogs (which anyone can auto, feel free to take one hog for each child as well if that's more fun). It'll give us a chance to exercise each child's individual ability and monitor their current skill, when the return all beat up or whatever (that's when the Rp will really start rolling).

 

[Mystic Zander]

If you though that was aggressive then you clearly took it too seriously.

I took it how it was written. Apologies if I misinterpreted the weight of the rude remarks, but you made no effort whatsoever to clarify it was intended a joke. I can only react to things I know about.

Maybe next time clarify when sarcasm is implied, as it doesn’t translate well through role play texts.

@Barefoot_Kittens I was under the impression we were all essentially novices with our elements. How are we intended to drop a group of...beast...hog....things? Lol

 

[Grand Master Koop]

She spoke in a mercilessly blunt fashion yet not a trace of malice can be detected.

I wrote this.

 

[Barefoot_Kittens]

They are hogs. I'll nerf them if you want, to make them regular hogs. They're if it's two against one, and the kids have powers- I think it's a fairly even fight. It won't take a lot of fire to scare away a hog- unfortunately the plant element is the least offensive in this situation so Marik might just be fighting with his bare hands. We can change it to one hog for the whole group- would anyone prefer that?
