[OOC] Vanish Into Light

[El Taco Taco]

WOOSH! I even got a CS up for you. I'll, eventually, either digitally ink/colour that sketch or go and take a proper scan/photo of it... but I'm lazy right meow.

[Alfbie]

You can draw! *swoons, dies* Sadly, I don't have the same talent. So, I'll have to figure out some sort of visual for Jeron when I put together his CS. *rubs hands together*

[El Taco Taco]

Haha, rather poorly I'm afraid! *_* If you find like, a reference face, I could give Jeron a shot? -shrug!-

[El Taco Taco]

Updated my CS with a better drawing and an equipment list. Woosh!

[Alfbie]

Nice! And that's a good idea, keeping an item list. I'll have a CS and new post soon (a day or two; I'm making good time with my homework).

[El Taco Taco]

I'll have to add a spell list eventually, but I ran out of time.

[Alfbie]

I'm possibly putting my foot in my mouth and making quite a dumb statement, but I'm curious: Who's the man at the bottom of all your posts? I'm assuming he's a celebrity of some sort, a singer perhaps? *ducks under a rock from the embarrassment of not knowing*

[El Taco Taco]

No worries! It's Macklemore. :D It's kind of my shtick, I guess? I've always had Macklemore gifs for my sig here. I saved like, ten bajillion gifs of him for a character on another site, but it never went anywhere. So I just cycle through them randomly here, because he is a handsome motherfucker.

[Alfbie]

What kind of a rock have I been living under? Turns out he's a grammy award winning rapper o.0 There was a song a few years ago, "Same Love," that was all over the radio -- I didn't know this was the dude that sang it, haha. Well, I learned something today :3

[El Taco Taco]

Haha, it's all good! I barely recognize celebrities unless I use them as faces for characters. =_=' Ah, yeah! I super love the version Mary Lambert released though. Hers is just, GAH, so heartwrenching! ;_;

[Alfbie]

Hi :) Just letting you know that I haven't forgotten about the RP (that's sorta impossible, haha). Finals for this term in school are around the corner, so I've been crazy-swamped. But I promise to get something out within a few days. Thanks so much for your patience!

[El Taco Taco]

No worries, homeskillet! <3 I totes understand. Looking forward to your post like crazy, but I get it. Finals are the worssst.

[Alfbie]

At long last, an update! Thank you so much for your patience! To be honest, I haven't brainstormed too many ideas for the scroll as of yet. Now is a good time to brainstorm: I have a few vague ideas, but I don't mind changing any or all of it up: The scroll is obviously magical in nature. There is definitely text on it, one just has to figure out how to access it. Me thinks only one person is able to read it -- either Jeron or Chamera. Perhaps the scroll is made to specifically be found and read by that person. Perhaps some sort of magical group or cult is trying to contact one of them. But why, I'm not sure yet (dun dun duuuuun).

[El Taco Taco]

Aww, Jeeroooooon bby! ;A; SO. We have a little bit of in game time to figure it out, since Chamera's not a magical expert. BUT. ON MY HUNT THROUGH THE WIKI, I FOUND SOMETHING PERFECTLY VAGUE Brief history lesson, woosh! So, the Harpers, who Elminster helps lead, had a member, Khelban Blackstaff. He ended up feeling like the Harpers weren't doing enough and broke off to form the Moonstars (also known as The Tell'Teukiira). He and his wife wanted to control their agents more closely, be more secretive, and be less discerning in who they let into the group and such. They legit had an evil aligned vampire in their ranks because he was useful. BUT!! Khelben found an ancient elven prophecy, that only he really understood and DUDE. DUDE IT IS SO VAGUE AND PERFECT. LIKE DAMN.

The Tel'Teukiira will come hidden and in many guises and faces. They dwell in shadow and speak in omens, yet they shall bring about waking dreams and save us from the Three Threats Who Wait in Darkness, the Prefects, and ourselves.

LIKE BAM EPIC PROPHECY QUEST TIME

[Alfbie]

First of all, I never get tired of your "woosh!" in your responses :) And YES, the vagueness of that prophecy is DIVINE! Allow me to spout off some ideas. You don't have to agree with 'em, this is just initial stuff popping into my mind after reading that bit of awesome. I must read up on the Tel'Teukiira: their "We'll do anything for our cause" intrigues me. I have a character who could play this role as one of them. Also, as a bit of backstory: I intended that young Maura was about to be recruited by a mysterious group (it could be these guys!) because her magic was pretty slick before things went Horribly Wrong(TM). They could have been keeping tabs on Jeron without his knowing due to reasons even he doesn't know about (mainly due to who his father is). Because Chamera is part of the Harpers, they could be keeping tabs on her as well because of Reasons (of your choosing). The Three Threats (dun dun duuuun). What could they be? Perhaps ourselves, darkness, and prefects are the three threats? Ourselves: One or both of our characters could have some inner conflict that could prove to be a real threat, mwahaha. Jeron wants to learn how to use magic so that he could do some not-so-pleasant things with it, or so he believes. Whether or not he actually has it in him to do dastardly things is another matter. The Darkness: A more obvious threat? Monsters, baddies, evil-do'ers? Prefects: Perhaps a betrayal of some sort is in the works. How much can we trust Pan, for instance? Bwahaha! And yes, great that we have a bit of game time cushion to hash this out :D

[El Taco Taco]

WOOOSH! ;D

RIGHT YES.

Yeah, the Moonstars are legit like, THA GREATER GOOD!!1!! Blackstaff was kind of an asshole, but whatever.

Ooooh, yes, totes for Maura gettin' scoped by the Moonstars.

There are a bajillion reasons for Chamera to be watched. The girl gets in trouble errwhere.

HMMM I think the three threats are distinct from the other things. I think ourselves refers to the elves that made the prophecy, so like, maybe hella elitist elves (sun ellllveeesss wut wut) have a Big Plan To Regain Lost Glory. The darkness could be legit anything, altho maybe it refers to like, Shar?? She has a shadow weave, which could be the source of all the weird ass magic goin' on in Shadowdale. Matter meets antimatter, shit annihilates and things get weird??

The prefects could be like literally anything in power. Some magistrate? I'm going to have to do research. There's always corrupt government officials in league with evil people in the realms, tho.

As long as Pan's getting paid, Pan's a happy human. Of course, the Harpers might not be so willing to give Chamera money considering they pretty much just destroyed Shadowdale... but he doesn't have to know that yet. >.> But yeah, gurlfren is going to get hella chewed out for being so bad at her job.

[El Taco Taco]
