[OOC] Crestwood Hollow

[Hillan]

Just to let everyone know, Hillan has withdrawn from the RP.

@Lord Wraith

He has. Thanks everyone for a good run, and best of luck.

[Roman]

Not that anyone seemed to care. The Winter girl still wouldn't drop her version of events even two weeks after the fire. She insisted there had been werewolves and that Rita had used her superstrength to punch one. If it was true why didn't everyone else believe it? Why didn't Rita say it was true? Answer: because it wasn't.

@Blue Demon This is incorrect.

Memories were wiped at the dance; all anyone was left with was fear and a fire, to which Louis and Elroy confessed. Jonas and Winter were left unaffected due to magical wards and hypegenes respectively, and have since then kept their secret.

Winter's outburst is the first time anyone has claimed the events of the dance were different to the current narrative that the city as a whole has agreed upon. This is not incessant nagging; this is a distressed, inevitable outburst.

[Blue Demon]

@Blue Demon This is incorrect.

@Roman

I apparently had read it as Winter had told her story a few times and no one had believed her. I'll revise that.

Edit: Fixed

And now we're painting Winter as the crazy girl. Wraith, you better have my back on this.

@FantasyChic

Welllllll...... I'm unsure if what I'm doing with Sebastian yet. Can't see Jonas backing her just yet either.

[FantasyChic]

If this is how it's going to go, Winter will probably leave then. Call a car or something to get her. I can't see her wanting to stay with people who think she's gone mental.

I'll probably have Jonas take her away from the group to cool down. If she leaves this arc is kind of out the window since we need Winter to start to restore memories haha.

[FantasyChic]

@Lord Wraith Fair enough. So long as he explains himself she'll probably stay.

@Lord Wraith If you wanna collab, lemme know. Might be easier

I will probably set it up later today so it's ready for when the last two 0osts go up.

[Taka]

You guys still....accepting sheets?

[Lord Wraith]

@Kal-El

Well a spot did just open up, so go ahead and fire me a sheet.

[Lord Wraith]

Which reminds me... @Blue Demon, can you throw your sheet into the character tab when you have a moment?

@Lord Wraith

YESH!

Alright. I'll present a sheet by Monday or Tuesday. Using my work computer and GF's laptop till I get my own again. So slightly limited but hey I'll work as hard as I can.

@Lord Wraith

Haha. I forgot about that didn't I?

Done. <3

But hey you didn't forget to post and that's what truly matters.

I mean, you needn't take it as a personal attack on Winter or, indeed, yourself. Aiden has too much at stake to allow his abilities to become public information - from multiple cases of arson to most recently setting a fellow student alight. He's only really managed to evade responsibility due to Lou's confession, people finding out about his fire powers would be more than enough to re-incriminate him. I feel his response was more than valid.

As for the others, well... I don't think many of the characters who attended the dance will truly think Winter is crazy - she called out certain characters by name and claimed they used their powers, and most of these have already recognised that they did use their powers in some form, so Winter is really confirming a lot of their suspicions.

The issue is, these kids are guarded and Hypes aren't well-received by the public. They don't want that kind of info being made public. Plus, there's also the fact that it's Winter's word against literally everyone else's. So sure, she might be making claims that speak a degree of truth to some characters, but they might be inclined to at least doubt her on some level when she starts rambling about werewolves and wizards. Sure, they might remember using their powers to some capacity, but none of them will have any sort of memory about the more fantastical appearances of the night.

I think you should see this more as an opportunity to explore Winter in a position where she is not at the top of the food chain, and then enjoy her redemption later on when she is able to prove to the others that she was right by way of restoring their memories.

TL;DR - No one legitimately thinks Winter is crazy. She's unfortunately just a victim of her own knowledge, and it's likely that few will show her support in order to protect themselves. School is rough, yo.

[Lord Wraith]

I'll be creating a Skype Chat for Crestwood, if anyone would like to be added to it, feel free to PM me your Skype address or post it here if you're comfortable with that. So far it's just Roman, Tyler and I.

EDIT: Sent the rest of you all a link so use it if you're interested and ignore otherwise.

[Tyler]

Fun thought: wouldn't it just be an absolute blast if someone posted IC?

[Blue Demon]

@TylerI just posted. Someone else needs to step up. :)
