[OOC] Carvings of the Galaxy

[Deserted]

I think we should update our character relationships fairly often. Mine is done.

[beyond visions]

@DesertedOh I was going to mention that after Benji gets an opportunity to interact with two characters he has thus so far had little to no time with: Rend and Echo.

But yeah, if you guys want to start updating the relationship sheets now, feel free to do so.

[TheMadAsshatter]

@Deserted As was mine.

Also, dibs on the next post.

[beyond visions]

@TheMadAsshatter That's awesome! Always look forward to reading a Tahlia post right after Rend's.

@SheriffLlama Hey so, I want to make sure you get a chance to post before I do since my next post will close the scene and move on to the next. You good with going next after TheMadAsshatter? Or do you have anything else in mind?

[beyond visions]

@Deserted Maybe it is best to go with your original decision, because now it seems out of place for the Principality to just now reprimand her after both Rend and Tahlia appealed to them. And with your original decision, it does progress the story more rather backtracking them further with Principality. If you do not want to change it back to your original decision, that is fine to. I can try working with that.

[Deserted]

@beyond visionsI mean, technically you did hold a spot in the OOC that you were going to have a response but had to make the time. I think you can still make it work. Here's a couple of options.
1) The party has been very internally focused, you could have the response of the aliens already going on, but the PC's simply haven't noticed.
2) You could assume that this is a bit of an argument with people shouting over each other and thus very little time has actually passed.
Either way you need to take the next post.

On the other hand, I do have a way to put them in their place... if they are smart. *Evil Smile* But it could result in everybody standing behind me. I'm not sure if you want to go that way.

I can switch it back if you like. I'm totally flexible. Your call.

[beyond visions]

Hmmhmm, I have started on the next post and I can definitely see myself taking your first suggestion. What I like about Echo sitting on the throne is that it can lead to a collab between Echo and Benji, something I really want to see. So, I'm going to stick to my plan to have Echo sent away from the crew. She will not be going home with them.

EDIT: Oh, I have a great idea to make everything flow well together...

[TheMadAsshatter]

Oh man, shit's getting intense.

[beyond visions]

@SheriffLlama I'm really far into my post, seeing now it would be best to have Yaz's post come right after mine.

So, guys expect mine next. Maybe I can get it out tonight.

[beyond visions]

And it's out!

@Deserted I'll get to you with a PM hopefully tomorrow for a collab.

[SheriffLlama]

@beyond visions Could we possibly get a reference or description of what this secret location looks like? I'll try to post tomorrow if not tonight.

[beyond visions]

@SheriffLlama No problem, here's a description below.

The Palace of an Exiled Utopia

The Palace of an Exiled Utopia

---

---

The Exiled Utopia was a palace once built for spared monarchs. Traditionally, if a monarch is challenged by another monarch to any sort of test of skill and is defeated, that monarch is royally executed, their race is no longer protected by the Principality, and they are force to relocate on a different homeland. However, monarchs were not always executed, some kings and queens have taken a more liberal approach by sparing their opponent. All of the same penalty would be enforced upon their specie, although now, their monarch would be living it up in a fancy fortress far far away. A sickening feeling... So it makes sense why this place has become a famous suicide point. Well, so far three have taken their lives. The first, jumped off the balcony connected to the master bedroom (the room Owen and Tahlia currently sleep in), the second drowned herself in the tub, and the third starved himself (this could have actually been an accidental suicide in a religious fasting process that went wrong, but that is what the rumor says...).

But that is the historical account of the Exiled Utopia. It is obvious why it gets the Exiled part of its name, but it gets the Utopia part for being rather perfect, and luxurious, or at least it was once when first built. Now, the palace is rather outdated with no electricity and plumbing. It feels like living in the medieval era. Some might value that aspect of it, others depreciate it. Though no matter, those living there are daily supplied with food, firewood, matches, and hot water in the tubs. Although, if you want to bathe in the hot water, it is best to wake up rather early since the tubs get filled during the night when all others are sleeping. Those that supply such needs for the crew are servants paid by the Principality.

As for the rooms themselves, there is a master bedroom (Owen and Tahlia's room), a child's room with two twin beds (Yaz and Echo's room), and one more empty bedroom with fireplace and furnished with queen size bed and a wardrobe. There is a drawing room, where most drawing rooms are used to entertain guest, this is an ironic place because, well, who gets guest when you live on a isolated island surrounded by snow and ice? But, still this is a room supplied with cushioned benches and an overhanging chandelier. There is a small library supplied with books and even scrolls, although none of the crew would understand any of the text, but studying the pictures might be interesting...

Speaking of pictures, located right next to the library, there is a gallery with paintings of multiple locations on the current planet they are stationed- Katex. This was a room that was suppose to lightened the hearts of the exiled by giving them at least a glimpse of the world around them, but it just enough induces further depression.

There are three bathrooms supplied with a wooden tub for a bath, water basin, and a garderobe (wooden medieval toilet).

And finally, a dining room. This room has a wooden table surrounded by chairs. Overhanging from the ceiling there is a chandelier, and a fireplace in front of the table. The flooring is stone and the walls are paneled with wood. Hung on the walls, are some historical paintings because clearly this is a place riddled with history.

Since the palace is outdated, it no longer houses exiled monarchs but occasionally some upper-class citizen that afford to vacation at such a place do when it is not currently occupied.

Happy Thanksgiving, nerds!

Just FYI, I'm visiting my dad for the weekend, so forgive me if I'm inactive until next week.

[SheriffLlama]

Kinda took a creative liberty with my idea for Yazmin's arm. Thought it would be alright since it doesn't immediately affect anyone, but let me know if anyone's not for it.

[beyond visions]

@SheriffLlama Ah, love it! I see Yaz becoming stronger emotionally and physically.

[Eru Iluvatar]

@beyond visions I'm quite intrigued as to your inspirations for this new alien language: '"Ettyk Strierots! Naqu henn eaq'yhru truotyrk freidrylst the Vruewrurd! Crub henn rapruk Vruari! Mesynn ybenn gneqreahshue, stouob kaxux klan!"

"C-Clieffyhsea glicea... Knis troukkilp phoess kaxux klan. Henn freidrylst gledrom otihr syxeolka freidrylst?"'

What languages did you draw from in creating this, or is this just random garble? Either way, it's convincing.

Also that green text is intimidating - that means a significant new character... whose text colour reminds me of a certain Doctor.

@TheMadAsshatter @Atrophy I think there is no reason to not begin a collaborative post from here - I'll make a PM?

[TheMadAsshatter]

@Eru Iluvatar sounds good to me, man.

[Atrophy]

@Eru IluvatarLet's collab it up.

[beyond visions]

@TheMadAsshatter@Atrophy@Eru Iluvatar How's the collab going?
