@McHaggis lol okay fair enough, but little late now since the RP has been going on a while and it's been listed as her least favorite memory for nearly a month. I am sure Lance can come with up a reason to why so there would be another side to the story.

@Lady Amalthea

Yeah, I kinda missed that part, aaaaaaaa.

But, look alike butler? Kid can't tell the difference between mustached menace and her father. I know I mistook a pair of jeans as my mom and was like AAAAAAAAAA when I found out it wasn't (both on a lady and on a mannequin hEH). So *shrug* I've just run it through my head multiple times and I can't see Reginald being physically abusive. As a counterpoint, it doesn't make sense for him to lock Marisol in a cupboard for knocking down an expensive thing and then give Gabe a stern talking to when he does the same thing (because I established he was the rowdy child between he, Rowan, Tati, Daniel, and Sam). I don't think he would change his tactics over the year, much less be sexist about it.

It's not really what I thought when making him either and he's developed a lot further than I expected him to. So, not sure how I missed that part of the CS. It's my bad there. But, Iunno. Go ahead and keep it there and I'll have a workaround for it when the issue gets brought up ICly.

@HalfOfLancelot My first thought was either A) home invasion occured at the same time and he threw her in there for safety. Or B) it was her biological father and she transferred over the memory to Reginald over the years because of the problems at home and wanting to remember her bio family in a perfect light.

Granted both ideas have their issues but that was just the first two, so I am sure there is a way to work it out.

@Lady Amalthea

The B one seems the most plausible ;o but, yeah, hopefully we can work something out. I'll have something, though, since it was my fault for missing it. D;

Biologically abusive parents seems logical, but that depends on when she was adopted and when her parents died? Because she was orphaned, right? I believe she was. ;o

[Lady Absinthia]

@HalfOfLancelot Yes, like Tati, but I don't believe there is an age listed to when or how old she was. So that leaves plenty of room to work with.

[GoddessSophia]

@HalfOfLancelot her mother died not long after she was born
Her father when she was 4 or 5 so she was adopted few months to a year later :)
If that thought works.

[Lady Absinthia]

Blah, I want to post but trying to wait for @murdoc

[murdoc]

Ugh, sorry guys, but my muse for Wyatt is (or has been) completely dead. Think I'm gonna have to let this one go. Again, sorry for the late notice/inconvenience, I'm the worst. OTL

[Gowi]

I'm due for Oliver within the next day or two, took a few days to talk with Phae and get things sorted.

[Lady Absinthia]

@murdoc Tati wants a refund! Lol

[murdoc]

@murdoc Tati wants a refund! Lol

@Lady Amalthea

Too late, he's already spent the money on a lifetime supply of hot pockets in the event of a nuclear apocalypse.

In all seriousness though, y'all are free to use Wyatt as an NPC (or not).

[Lady Absinthia]

@HalfOfLancelot If I could talk a friend into taking over Wyatt since Murdoc dropped, would that be okay?

[HalfOfLancelot]

@Lady Amalthea Uh, you'll have to discuss that extensively with @murdoc, since that's his character.

But, I'm willing to let your friend come in with a new character. ;o

[Lady Absinthia]

@HalfOfLancelot Am going to, but was asking if it was an option since the plane has already taken off and so much work already has gone into pairings and back stories. He said we could use Wyatt as an Npc since he's dropping, wanting to make sure it was okay with the gming staff before I took anymore steps.

[Gowi]

>>feels like they can finally post and get Oliver going
>>catches stomach flu

Wonderful.

@Lady Amalthea

I assume this means I should write Ollie's first post from the perspective after taking off?

[Lady Absinthia]

@HalfOfLancelot Murdoc has given me his offical okie dokie. I have a friend willing to take on the role. He's catching up on post reading and such. We'll get a colab together soon.

[HalfOfLancelot]

You all seem stuck, I think?

Time zones *shakes fist*

So, I think, what I'm gonna do, and bare with me, is ban collabs for a little while. Until we can get this train rolling because all these ginormous posts and we've only gotten to the plane. ;(

So, I'm gonna have the plane ride be no collabs, and when they touch down, I think it'd be wise for all the characters to unwind in their respective rooms with their plus ones [where you can begin collabing], and then we'll separate the Carringtons from the guests. ;D How does that sound to everyone (minus @Lady Amalthea for her first post with her new dude bro friend, but afterwards, yeah).

I think, for any big events Miso and I plan on doing, we're gonna put this collab ban into action and then after the events are over, we'll drop it. Does that sound good for everyone? Yes? No? Maybe?

[HalfOfLancelot]

I should tag everyone in here *cough*

@Undine, @impervious, @murdoc, @Lady Amalthea, @GoddessSophia, @McHaggis, @Gowi, @Liriia, @Subject Zero, @Dirty Pretty Lies, @Ex, @Symphoni

I'm mainly doing this because we're still stuck in the beginning, and while I'm fine with this being a slow RP, I don't think it's wise to make it stagnant, if you catch my drift. ;o

Also, it's very hard to do a 4 man collab cause people have lives, live on the other side of the world *cough* haggis *cough* zero *cough* or simply don't feel comfortable writing a collab with people they don't know? *Shrug*

[Venus]

@HalfOfLancelot I have no objections! I think it would speed things up a bit! :D
