Hey c: Sorry I haven’t been on! School started and I got busy xD Anyways, I’ll try to get a reply up either today or tomorrow with any luck :D

@BuzzingBee Sorry, I had the same thing happen. Projects have been killer this semester, and I just got engaged, so I had wedding planning on top of everything else @.@ I finished my finals early if you want to pick this up again!

Honestly it got so crazy for me lately that I just wasn’t able to reply xc I’m definitely up for continuing. It might be a while for me to get a reply up though

@BuzzingBee It's all good! Just reply when you can if you want to pick this up again :)

I'll bring my laptop with me to my hotel tomorrow, but I don't know if I'll be able to reply right away. I'll shoot to have it done by Wednesday though!

No worries! :D Take you’re time

Finished my reply! Sorry it took so long. I tried to log in earlier, but the site was down

No worries! Sorry it took me a while too cx The site was down when I was first going to reply and then I just got busy with work

It’s all good! I’ve been traveling a lot, so I didn’t have as much time to write. I’m home for the next two weeks though :)

Ahh nice c: I’ll try to keep active then lol

I remember we decided the market was where Crow gets framed for that other thief, but I don’t know what’s after that. Do you have any ideas? I was thinking we could go in a couple different directions:

1. Crow and Penelope escape from the knights, getting separated from William and Abraxas (not sure what would happen to the latter two)

2. Crow gets arrested and Penelope and the others fight to get him away from the knights (this would put a target on their backs)

3. Everyone escapes fine (least eventful option)

What do you think? If you have any other ideas, let me know :)
Also, if you have any ideas for what should come after this scene, I’d like to hear them! I don’t think I have any yet

I feel like we'd have to go with either 1 or 2 since I feel like them having a target on their back would cause for a bit more trouble than the small group could handle with the whole trying to sneak into the castle.

I don't really have any plans. If they get separated and stuck on their own we could maybe play around with the idea of their feelings coming out? My sorta map of it all was that Penelope would admit/act on her feelings from him like right before or during the height of the mission because she fears one of them might not make it out. If they're alone and something happens right before, (like maybe they have to go separate ways into the castle for some reason?? Not sure) I feel like that would make a little more sense for it to happen if they're on their own for a while lol.

Though I still think we need a couple things leading up to that but I'm not sure what.

I don't really have it well thought out lol but I figure it would make sense for their journey home. Like debating what to do with their feelings and such

That’s true. I’m fine with whatever, but I agree that they should end up by themselves at some point while they’re in Younis.

I was also thinking we could have Hartley (the real one lol) pop up again sometime. He was the voice who sold Crow out at the market, so I could see him wanting to tag along when Crow and Penelope escape from the knights. If you like the idea too, I’ll make a CS for him

I'd be up for that! Also how are you thinking they should escape? I figure Penelope will wait until they're in a less crowded area before making any moves to free him

Either with a diversion or waiting out the crowd, probably. I'll leave that to your discretion :P

Oo I think Hartley’s going to be interesting cx I have a feeling he’s going to drive penelope nuts lol

He's going to drive Crow nuts too xD
Crow is super meticulous about thievery, but Hartley is just like "Hey, here's some money. It's mine now." He doesn't plan at all, which is like a cardinal sin to Crow. I could honestly see him trying to take Hartley under his wing and teach him how to steal more successfully

Also, I was thinking it could be funny if Hartley has a shameless crush on Penelope. He's younger than her and a criminal, so it would be interesting to see how all the others react

That’s funny cx I like how he’s kind of the opposite of both of them in that sense. Neither Crow or Penelope are that impulsive nor reckless
Penelope’s not going to be happy about that xD She’ll probably to try and talk him into doing something other than stealing

I think that’d be fun! Penelope probably won’t know what to do once she realizes he likes her lol

Yeah, that's why I think he should come back later in the story. His personality will be an interesting addition to our characters. I think William will hate him for being a criminal, Abraxas won't know what to make of him, and Crow and Penelope will be annoyed

She'll probably catch on pretty quick. Hartley isn't exactly subtle xD

Yeah I think so too. Maybe he ends up leaving Younis to go to Brerra with them? I think Penelope will be annoyed with him for a while but if she learns his story she might want to try and help him. Especially if she sees Crow trying to teach him more about stealing lol

True haha
