@Fancy Party
just press quote on both posts and you will get both posts in their own little quote box things.

Testing.

Ah, okay, thank you! That works then.

Just for fun, here's the character sheet:

@Archmage MC I had Vanessa go and bring out the food. If you want to post some filler until the TO posts, I'd say eat.

Its a shame no one is making fabrication requests from Toony. Guess she'll just make random crap instead xD.

Sorry it's taken me a while to get this post up, busy weekend and feeling the after-effects of the aforementioned busy weekend this morning. Normal service, or something passing for normal service, should be resumed over the rest of the day.

Okay, two double posts here, which I'm fairly sure is a breach of some rule or other. The Meanwhile! post is safe to ignore if you want, it was just a way of explaining a thing (who paid for the meal) and sort of introducing a character that may end up featuring in the game later on (based on the discussions from the Interest Check thread).

Ooooh, conflict. I wonder how this will resolve. Good luck everyone.

Also, Doctor Frosty seems absolutely nefarious. I see no way this plan could backfire.

It's fine, The Will is going to use diplomacy, so there'll be no trouble whatso-

What even is a Flowjink?
The Will


Ah.

Well, I'd like to keep this scene moving along at a fair old pace, and so will be aiming for a post at around the same time (11am-ish GMT) for the rest of this week at least, providing other folks are posting too. I don't want to leave people behind if I can help it in terms of posting though - if you're struggling to keep up, let me know. Obvious options include asking people to post once a day or so, or maybe come up with some kind of posting order, or maybe sort of split people into two groups for a posting order, or something a bit wackier still. After writing the "Meanwhile!" section, I realised that this could be a way of building the world galaxy - so why not let all of us lot write things like this? It could let those of us who love to post multiple times a day do so without having to worry about moving the action along at a pace that is hard for others to follow.

Are you thinking like similarly introducing/fleshing out new characters and such like you did, or more so maybe flashbacks of their characters' past and things of that nature? I think it would be neat to see snippets of the past.

Okay, y'all have completely left me in the dust. I don't have the time or the energy to keep up with this pace. Forgot what it was like to RP in Casual.

Good luck and have fun!

It shouldn't be too hard to keep up. You can usually summarize what you missed in like a paragraph like I did.

Also I think Toony is going to take a bit after her namesake and be 'toony'. IE both appease and antagonize. xD

Just a correction, Vanessa isn't pointing her gun at the big guy, she's holding it by the barrel with the barrel pointed towards the floor. It's actually one of the safer ways to hold a gun since firing them into the air can kill people miles away. (What goes up must come down.)

She did load it, but she's not openly threatening the big guy with it. That'd make her the antagonist to the situation. She's not looking to start a fight.

@Valor Fair enough. Toony is probably being more antagonistic in this situation anyway xD. Though rightfully so since the other guy started it xD.

It's nice to see everyone chatting and working together. Keep it up team! I'm sure @Hylozoist has something delicious planned for the quest for flavour. Even though I'm confident that @Fancy Party will make a great contribution to our team, still, I hope that nobody drops out in the foreseeable future.

Great, So while Vanessa and Toony are sorta kinda being passive aggressive, Fiddlesticks has started a full on fight.

Hope this doesn't escalate too much xD.

this is why I brought all the soldier bees back again, so we can have a laser light show if things go bad or just bring their food to calm everything down. admittedly our least suited to combat member was not who i expected to take physical action but this should be very interesting as a result.

on the topic of the meanwhile sugestion I rather like the idea, either as plot or just amusing/interesting world building asides in the maner of Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy entires or Terry Pratchett's books's footnotes

@DracoLunaris Well I guess we'll be seeing why Toony was hired sooner rather than later. xD.

Honestly, the Guerlaghiix must be very confused, Vanessa in an implied threatening manner with a loaded rifle after having his "Flowjinks" being insulted by the Captain, while Toony menacingly eats in his general direction and then an oversized wrench to the head. At least, I'd be confused. haha

And I agree, a lot can be done with a few good posts outside of the current situation. Definitely more interesting for the reader as well, as long as it's not, you know, overly confusing and that it's clear that its taking place outside of the current situation. Personally, I had an idea for a story of a run-in with animated, talking clothing down the line.

Vanessa was sneaky about loading her rifle, at least. She's only doing it encase Guerlaghiix pulls out a weapon of his own or got physical himself. I have a response from Vanessa planned out encase this turns into an eatery-wide brawl.

First up, I'm really sorry that we've lost you @Hank - things have been a bit hectic posting wise, and my post about not wanting folks to get left behind was a few days too late. It just goes to show that there's quite a lot to running a game, and it was remiss of me not to think about that sort of thing earlier (especially as I had to drop out of a game recently due to the speed at which it was going!).

On the "Meanwhile!" suggestion, consider it open. I'm not sure where to put them; it might end up cluttering the IC a little too much, it'd probably get lost in the OOC section. For now, the IC will probably be the best place for them, and I'll make a post in the Characters tab that links to them, and that'll hopefully keep them organised. In order to keep it clear what's what, if you're going to post a "Meanwhile!", put it in it's own post, and behind a hider labelled "Meanwhile!".

Anything you write in these may end up getting used at a later date in the game. Fair warning!

Finally, I shall try and get an IC post up later on today. There's quite a lot to consider here. Diplomacy, pulling out weapons, pointed eating and attack wrenches. Goodness.
