[OOC] Who Believes In Fairytales?

[Drag]

@DragYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! *Tackle hugs* glad to have you here Drag. This is gonna be wonderful :)

@Crosswire

MY SPLEEN

[Crosswire]

@DragYou are ded now, not big surprise.

@Drag Great to see you again, Drag. I'll start hacking away at a post and should have it up in a few days. Rebecca definitely isn't going to like being strong-armed, but she likes Crier. Hmmm...I shall ponder this.

EDIT: Also, how much would Rebecca reasonably know about the Hundred Acre apartments? Do I have free rein to create some of the complex's inhabitants?

@Lexicon

I'd say that's fine, though preferably the more obscure the better, that way there's less of a risk of someone taking that Tale later on in the off chance.

And Crier doesn't like Rebecca yet isn't exactly well liked by any other information broker, oh what a wonderful pair eh?~

[Lexicon]

@Drag Sounds good! You might also want to send a threadwide tag to everyone to let them know this RP isn't dead. Just a thought :P

[Drag]

@Lexicon hmmm, you make a good point. I'll leave it a day or two and if I don't see 'em check the thread I'll do a quick mention just to be safe

[Holy Soldier]

@Drag@CrosswireIf I ever leave a game, I let people know. Otherwise, I'm not always social in the OOC.

[Drag]

So, I rather enjoy music! I also like looking at this rp as though it's akin to a television show, to that end I decided to kind of put into a playlist what I figure the "soundtrack" would be. I considered, since this is set in the eighties, there'd be some synth elements to it and other genres (That said, this playlist is hardly authentic, which I'm kind of annoyed by, but the songs I picked I felt set the tone and aesthetic) I also kind of approached this from the angle of someone just listening to the radio as everything in Taletown unfolds behind him so maybe things may be a bit lopsided idk. So if you wanna listen while writing, driving, making a sandwich then please do and I hope you enjoy.

If you think something sounds out of place or have a request then by all means tell me

Track List

Kavinsky - Nightcall
(The wolf howl and lyrics as well as darkwave sound made me think this suited best as an opener, preferably playing as we sweep through the city of New York at night)

The Pixies - Where Is My Mind?

Desire - Under Your Spell

Electric Light Orchestra - Livin' Thing

Garbage - Not Your Kind Of People

Maximum Love - We've Just Begun

King Harvest - Dancing In The Moonlight

Droid Bishop - Nightland

I'm here. I'd let you know if I had to go.
I was just I N S A N E L Y busy.
I'll have something up within the next 2 days!

[Riflebird]

It's getting quite busy in here lately.

Although I won't say much, know that I will always be here. Watching this thread. Watching you.

Yes. Even when you poop, I will be there. Watching you poop.

Cuz that's how I roll.

Poop.

[Utrax]

My post is up!
Also!! Feel free to run into Mothman while he does his running.
He definitely passes by most of the "important places" on his way to the gym just to keep an eye on people.
And to make his presence known-- that vigilante stuff, you know.

Mothrun Route for Reference

[Lexicon]

Planning to have my post up no later than Wednesday. It's actually already written, but I want to edit it. I'll probably address Mothman and a few other odds and ends in a later post so this one doesn't end up being gigantic.

EDIT: Some songs that I've come to associate with Boogie.

"Fever" by Peggy Lee

"Under the Boardwalk" by the Drifters

"Sympathy for the Devil" by the Rolling Stones

"The Miracle (of Joey Ramone)" by U2 ((Something a little more recent))

"Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears
youtube.com/watch?v=ST86JM1RPl0

"Hungry like the Wolf" by Duran Duran

"I Don't Want to set the World on Fire" by the Inkspots
youtube.com/watch?v=6l6vqPUM_FE

[Utrax]

OH! That playlist is really cool @Drag!
And great additions @Lexicon!

TBH, I'd love to completely disrupt the vibe and flow of the whole thing...
By having the only song Mothman needs in his life added...

[Lexicon]

As a side note, if anyone wants to use Br'er Rabbit or Tweedledee and Tweedledum as informants for their characters feel free to. All the NPCs I mention in my posts are available for others to interact with unless I say otherwise. At the moment, only the Nunez brothers and the shades are off limits. Of course, if one of our fine GMs needs to commandeer one of these folks then that's fine.

[Lexicon]

@Drag Working on my next post. Terror is doing alot of talking so if you think it's too much then let me know and I'll make some edits. I want Crier to be able to respond, but I also don't want us to get stuck in a back and forth type dealie. And I don't want to godmod your character lol. I should have it done tonight so let me know if anything jumps out at you.

[Crosswire]

@LexiconWhy don't you do a collaboration? Me and Odds did one for Little Red and the Pale Queen.

[Lexicon]

@Crosswire We probably will at some point, but I kinda wanted to free Crier up since it takes me longer to post. We'll see what Drag says. I'll post it, and make edits if necessary.

[Drag]

@Lexicon You weren't kidding about the length lol. I'll try get a response up either tomorrow or the day after that.

I'm hoping to write up who is actually on the council so that people don't need to be so vague talking about them. My intent is to make a CS for one of them as my secondary character though I may or may not have other stuff that might make that a bit of a pain, I'll kinda look at how things are so that I don't risk holding anything up

[Lexicon]

@Drag No rush lol. Part of the reason I was able to whip this up so quickly is I'd been thinking about how this conversation between Crier and Boogie might go. I also wanted to introduce Boogie's PTSD stuff, which actually worked out pretty well. And yeah...part of me was thinking about claiming Merlin as a secondary character. But it might be better to have someone else, be it a GM or a new player, controlling him so I'm not having prolonged conversations with myself XP Regardless, take your time on the response, and I look forward to reading what you write.

Also, Boogie is crazy biased against the Council because of Merlin so she's going to essentially disregard whatever good they've done in the community. The only reason I mention this is because some folks might actually view the Council as an effective governing body. Others, like Boogie, might disagree with that. Either way, I leave the actual depiction of these other Tales to the GMs' discretion. Now, I'm going to bed. Hope everyone had a good Fourth!

[Lexicon]

Also, and this is kind of a weird question, but we're still in the first in-game evening, right? Normally, it's not a huge deal, but my character and daylight don't exactly get along lol.
