Thank ye.

Say, I'd think now seems like a good time for us to talk about what sort of downtime interactions we've got in mind. Cause I think we're supposed to have a brief break before the next group of Pageless.

@The 42nd Gecko

You're welcome.

Assuming you're right and the plot doesn't roll in near immediately, I'd say first and foremost amongst downtime shenanigans is any girls that are interested taking some time to approach Nessie and help her get personally acquainted with everything that doesn't get covered by her initial introduction to the Grand Ministry.

Camelot is obviously going to perform her training routine where she has time, and she's also possibly to see about approaching Ethereal Rose, since IC, this is literally Olivia's first day in London and first mission by the Grand Ministry. She should be a fairly fresh face, aside from whatever impression she may or may not have given at Marrywell during the daytime (assuming she actually went to Marrywell already). Camelot only really knows her at all, because she keeps sort of obsessively overprotective tabs on any news of Alters that join up.

More urgently though, Camelot has to see about making relevant preparations for her Round Table feasts potentially being under Pageless threat going forward. I'm still planning exact details out on that end. Among other things, she may consider starting to invite other Magical Girls to her feasts to have backup, because she sure as hell isn't going to break her personal oaths to the people and stop doing said feasts. As a respected and experienced fellow king peer, Lilac Shimmer is definitely on her list of "approved to interact with her personal project", so she'll get consideration for the offer, but nothing is settled yet.

Camelot also has investigating the gold coin on her list of priorities for sure.

@The 42nd Gecko
Lol, that high-jumping introduction tho. Nice post. Very enthusiastic, that one!
And Lilac Shimmer very much continues to give off that optimistic "heart of the team" vibe that I'd sensed before... with just a sprinkling of issues. Yes, lovely stuff.

Grimoiric Heart

@Ponn personally I see Olivia being someone who goes with the flow of the Ministry so long as they placate her but I imagine she’d be conflicted greatly if she was asked to use her Darling to reign in any errant Magical Girls.

@Lonewolf685

This is, of course, assuming the Ministry is the sort to do that. Camelot is currently only paranoid about them, for example. She doesn't really have any proof of wrongdoing, just unease with the current way they seem to go about things and the unchecked power they apparently possess. That aside, Olivia probably wouldn't be super thrilled about that scenario if it did come about...

Grimoiric Heart

Then there's Olivia, who just wants to make friends...

@Ponn

Exciting first day, huh? XD

Grimoiric Heart

You can already start to see the dividing line between loyalist Magical Girls and rebellious ones forming.

@Lonewolf685

Hoo boy, can you! I'll admit to some hype over that fact. Gonna be some good character interactions/conflict to be found going forward.

Grimoiric Heart

Reading our Seraph’s post reminds me the national flower of Scotland is a thistle. This may not be a flower that handles being Princess carried and having their hand held by an authority figure trying to drag her off to English boarding school while treating everyone like children.

I’m going to relish Nessie’s post.

@Lonewolf685

Pretty much my exact thought process (aside from not knowing the flower trivia). Practically did a spit-take when Lumiere did that.

Grimoiric Heart

And a post has been made.

@Izurich

Nice post. I see the IC misinterpretations continue both ways. Fun stuff.
After all, it's worth noting that this is the first time Camelot's Round Table feast has ever been targeted by Pageless... in all of the 1 year+ that she's been actually doing it on a pretty much daily basis at sunrise and sunset. That isn't to say that Lumiere isn't correct about the danger... just not for the reasons she thinks.
If it weren't for Camelot starting the feast later than normal (thus it being so far past sundown and during prime Pageless hunting time) and the increased aggression of the Pageless as a whole as of late, this may have never come up.

Grimoiric Heart

Hmm. Camelot's an interesting character to a lot of folks. I could see Lilac being like, "Why is she me but better? She has everything together and I don't. O_o." because she doesn't understand Camelot's internal struggles.

@The 42nd Gecko

It should definitely make for some interesting character interactions. While on the surface, both of them might perform similar roles, it is the roles they take in terms of making emotional connections that will certainly set them apart long term and define Lilac amongst the team, her bombastic friendly nature a contrast to Camelot's often distant guardian persona. Plus, there's always the chance of Lilac finally coming into her own and developing new Grimoire powers (which I think was possibly going to be a thing down the line? unless I'm thinking of a similar RP I looked at around the time I found this). There are certainly some interesting ways this could play out.

Grimoiric Heart

So, uh... Having now tried to catch up on what I haven't read... I'm really thinking I'm just not cut out for Advanced. As much as I like the idea of Karen as I wrote her CS, I don't think I can keep up with this RP; I'll probably just drag down the quality. So I think I'm gonna drop as well, unfortunately. Sorry to have wasted your time, all.

@The World

You weren't wasting anyone's time. Hate to see it happen this way, but I personally really liked what I saw from your end. If this is it, I'll merely wish you the best of luck in your future RP endeavors!

<Snipped quote by Lewascan2>

Yeah, I'm down for a collab if you want. I was just gonna have her show up and have gotten lost, but if you have a good idea I'm willing to go with it.

@The World

Sounds good. To reduce spoilers, I'll shoot you a PM and pitch what I have in mind.
