((Sorry for the wall of text; I just saw in Eskel's relationships hider that he noted Peter "was destroyed", and I decided to come in and say, "well, aCTUALLY-" xD))

But, anyway, back on a lighter note: Do you guys think that the whole party has seen Crow outside of their plague doctor outfit, or just a few of them/no one at all?


Yeah I did catch that Peter is still around, just no longer sentient, Eskel meant destroyed as in the whatever part of the magic that made him sentient has been damaged beyond repair etc.

Also I did something about Eskel not even knowing what Crow looked like under the plague doctor outfit, but I took it out because your sheet seemed to imply that they did take off sometimes. Happy to go with that idea though if you want.

Oh, okay. Thanks for the clarification! I must've read something wrong. :')

And, honestly? I'm okay with either and, like, Crow probably does take it off sometimes, especially if it's hot.

Ay, first IC post!

This is just some setup to show her state of mind. After a few others get their posts in, I’ll jump ahead a few days to when she receives Gideon’s letter.

Which raises the question, how prevalent is teleportation magic in this world? Is this high-magic enough for there to be, say, an established teleportation circle between Gwangju and Bradena? That'll make a difference on how quickly she meets up with the others.

I hadn't planned on using teleportation magic, but now I'm thinking I might for the sake of moving the story along faster. What do you guys think? Also @Quartz, I never said where my character was going to be, but if you don't mind, do you want to meet up first? I'd say Yadira has been traveling across the different lands doing odd jobs while looking for a new purpose in life since the disband and she happened to end up in Nagaya. After her little run in, she hadn't really been worried about it until she received the letter from Gideon, but she just happened to stop by your village

@Hyyde322 Sounds good! If Yadira has been travelling, Gideon probably can't address a letter to her. But she could go to Nagaya looking to discuss that strange event, and Shiri will show her the letter she got.

As for teleportation, it's probably best to keep it limited, so travel won't be too convenient. Perhaps a mage with the right specialization (e.g. Eskel) can do short-range teleportation freely, but long-range can only be done between teleportation circles that are difficult to create and so are only in a few places. So Yadira and Shiri could hire someone to teleport them from Gwangju to Bradena.

Good posts, guys ~

@King Cosmos @Dragonfly 9 Do you two need any more outside input for your starting posts? Not to hurry you, but since you two are the ones not yet locked into an interaction.

As an aside, I haven't done a group roleplay in years, but back when I did we would use an Etherpad page (a collaborative online text editor) to write dialogue and then post the whole conversation in one go, instead of having to do ten small posts back and forth. That's something to consider for the characters who are about to get into a one-on-one conversation.

I went a bit over the top with my post...

If anything needs toning down or if I added some lore that is incorrect, just let me know and I am happy to make some changes.

Since I did things in the opposite order that I originally proposed, next I will work on my character relationships section.

Nah, I've been busy. I'm planning on doing my post right after typing out this one, actually!

I understand your worry, though; thanks for the offer! <3

Hopefully, it's as good as the others. :'3

But yeah, Crow's heading to Bradena! Who do you guys think they should run into when in that city first?

@Quartz I hope you don't me meeting with your sister right off the bat, also I've never heard of an etherpad page, but if it makes things easier for people, I'd be willing to use it

I realized I forgot to describe anything about how Naivara is dressed, so slipped this into my post:

@Dragonfly 9 Gideon, probably, then we'll be paired off for a bit before the group gathers fully.

@Hyyde322 That actually works well with the follow-up post I already had in mind. I'll respond in a day or two.

In the meanwhile, I'll send you guys a link to an etherpad page in PMs, so it's there if we want to use it. It's not for every post but it's useful if you need to throw back and forth with a conversation partner repeatedly. Especially for characters who don't talk much.

@Abstract Proxy I like the underdress. She's resisting not just the culture but also the genre conventions.

Thanks! Not gonna lie, I pretty much just went on a deep dive into medieval fashion from our own history (and I was never a big fan of the fantasy convention of "all women wear very little clothing at all times").

As far as my readings go, it was an interesting time in the sense that on the one hand the wealthy wanted to flex with their fashion (e.g,. a lots of very fancy stuff, like precious metal embroidery and jewelry), but moral/religious expectations meant that baring a lot of skin was far from acceptable, so the solution was to make stuff like deep v-necks more modest with underdresses.

That's my rambling for the night done, lol, but it was an interesting bit of reading (the intersection of culture/morality/modesty/fashion is quite neat).
