Indeed it is, @bloonewb. Just go ahead and write up a character, and I'll be available if you need anything for doing so.

I don't want you to take this the wrong way, @rocketrobie2, but that's incredibly disappointing; not because I'm disappointed in you, I want to stress that as much as I possibly can, but because I was really looking forward to a character actually trying to go to the Hunter's Dream.
Um... though now I'm a bit at a loss as to what to do. I guess I will just have to wait until someone is ready to post...

@Dark Jack I'll try to do some power R'n'R so I can get back to this ASAP. I was really looking forward to seeing what was in the Hunter's Dream now too.

I noticed the group doesn't use the Char tab. Is this by intention?

It is, yes. In my experience (as was affirmed repeatedly even just in this RP) only a fraction of the players that make characters for an RP end up sticking with it. Since I'd rather not make it so that players have to scroll through character sheets for essentially abandoned characters, and the only way to remove posts on RPGuild is through a moderator, I just think that it's more convenient for everyone involved to have the characters in the OOC with me linking their information in the OP. This way I have control of which characters are presented where (like moving them to the "Inactive characters"-section).

I realize that the current CS is just a start, but I notice that Morgraine is described as already having the garb of a Hunter, seemingly designed specifically for hunting beasts, yet she is listed as a false Paleblood Hunter. I just wanted to point out:
False Paleblood Hunter - Highly recommended
You are one of the hapless men and women unknowingly inflicted with false Paleblood by the Healing Church, who sought blood healing and was contracted to be a Hunter. In almost every regard you will be the same as a true Paleblood Hunter, testament to the success of the experiment... but beware, the false Paleblood may have made you different in unpredictable ways. These differences may be beneficial or adverse; who knows? Only time will tell what the consequences of false Paleblood really are.
You will awaken in the room in the remote clinic, unarmed, along with the other Paleblood Hunters.
NotH OP, "Race"-section


In other words, up until this point of becoming a false Paleblood Hunter, Morgraine wouldn't have been a Hunter. She might have wanted to be one and volunteered for the treatment and have prepared for becoming a Hunter in advance, though.

Oh, thank you. I'll continue tinkering with the sheet.

Alright I think my sheet is ready to be scrutinized. Do you have a plan as for how to integrate a late joiner like myself into the story with the other players?

Hm. Interesting. So she anticipated having to become a Hunter not because she wanted to as such, but because it was the only way she knew to pay for the treatment. And superstition seems to play a large role in the character's world view... I'm quite curious as to how she would handle some of the things I have planned.
The character is, of course, accepted. I'll add it to the OP.

As for how to integrate a "late joiner", that's actually still quite simple; she will just wake up in the room where the other (false) Paleblood Hunters (shorthand for Paleblood Hunters and false Paleblood Hunters, collectively) woke up and barely have to do anything to find the others, since they haven't actually moved a lot. I think @DrabberRogue's character might even still be in the room where Morgraine will awaken.
For reference, there is a detailed description of how the room Morgraine will awaken in in the first IC post, and a briefer, more up-to-date one in this post. There's also a simple map of the area here.

I deliberately avoided mentioning your character, @DrabberRogue, but it would still be appreciated if you could maybe manage a line of dialogue or two, at least?

Eugh, things are getting... a little awkward by now IC. @rocketrobie2, any chance you could predict whether Nigel is going to break away from the lantern or keep looking into it? Otherwise progressing things with Morgraine will potentially end up causing some pretty severe desync.

@Dark Jack I'll do you one better and try to get a post out today as well. I'm sorry to have thrown a spanner into things and I think I've had enough of a break to start rolling into writing again.

I will have Nigel continue to look at the lantern.

Roger that, in that case I'm gonna aim for putting up post within the next couple days. It's about time I got back into writing.

Is there something perhaps my character could do that doesn't require activity on the part of other players?

In case it wasn't clear from the IC-post, I just went with rocketrobie2's statement that Nigel kept staring at the lantern and used that to both give rocketrobie2 a bit more to write about, and to set the scene for Morgraine. So even if DrabberRogue can't find the time to write a post, you should be good to go, @bloonewb.

Will there be a place soon up ahead for the new hunters to pick up trick weapons?

I mean, I don't think I'm spoiling too much by saying that there is currently two venues for the characters to get proper trick weapons: they can get them in the Hunter's Dream, or they can be granted trick weapons by the White Church in the Cathedral Ward.

Those two ways aren't the only two ways for the characters to get trick weapons, nor are they equivalent; going either place will provide different degrees of freedom in which weapons are available and how willing the ones supplying the weapons are to part with them. Essentially each of the factions in the RP - the white and black Healing Churches, the Vilebloods, the Fire Dancers, the Followers, even the Harrow - along with the Hunter's Dream have the potential to be a source of proper Hunter-weapons, with more scattered across the IC world to be discovered and claimed, including quite a few original and unique ones. The Hunter's Dream is only known concretely to Nigel, and by inference to Morgraine, Torquil and Arcturus, making the White Church the only one actually known to them at the moment.

Do the characters have anything else they want to do at or near the Hunter's clinic, or are you okay with me fast-forwarding a bit, since at least Torquil and Morgraine appear to be opting out of interacting with the lantern? @bloonewb and @DrabberRogue?
(Also, maybe a little something just to give a gist of what Arcturus is thinking about all this?)

I'm still around! Sorry about the long delay again. I'm wrestling with a case of accidentally becoming nocturnal, it's done nasty things to my productivity.

I'd like to get that post I've been promising out before a time skip, but I also don't want to hold the rp back, so I'm fine with a fast-forward if you want to do that.

Finally posted~! Ow my brain hurts, it's been a little while since I've written that much...

In any case, I hopefully have Arcturus positioned for the time skip. So long as nothing impedes him, he's gonna finish searching the reception before using whatever furniture is suitable to fortify the clinic door (and windows if there are any) from the inside. Once he's done with that, he'll peer into the lantern and see where it takes him.
