The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Holas everyone! I hope everyone's having a good weekend! I'm currently drenched from working in the rain and aggravated with having to deal with typical work nonsense and incompetent people. Lovely. :)

I hope you have a wonderful time at your concert, Rex! I'll be on skype before/after it's done so you let me know how much fun it was, alright? >|D

I've always meant to go see Sweeny Todd, actually but never gotten around to it. I really should though. XD I knew you'd love it, Fox!

On the topic of new people:

I saw and read all of your responses and gave it some thought during work today. I think at the time being my decision will have to be to not accept new people, for a variety of reasons I'll explain, but the main reason is I just don't think it'd be the right time or for the rp's benefit to have that occur at the moment.

Firstly, this rp's come along way. As you guys have mentioned, I'm cautious about finding people who would properly get what this rp entails and what it's going for. People who could readily understand and accept the posting expectations- not just daily, but the finer points of character interaction and contribution to the scenes, powerlevels, the general tone of the rp which for a lot of people is really hard to grasp since this rp has higher standards for those type of things etc. But at the same time, kind of weary with having to explain those kinds of things- from backstory, to current characters (to avoid overlaps, even for other absent characters such as Selan, Lisette and Don etc), it's all a bit too much. Honestly, I'm kind of amazed how Kei and Kathi managed to succeed in that. We're 2500+ posts into the IC, and every single one of those posts and what happened in them is pretty important, for the world building, tone and atmosphere they created. And whilst I could explain that to new people, it'd be a heck of a lot of work, and I'm not sure after all the drama we've had lately I want that so soon. On top of that, we're over halfway through the first part of this rp, and considering where I aim to take this rp in the near future... it doesn't really make sense to bring in new characters at the moment. You all know why. c;

Other things that concern me:- Bringing in unknown factors during Rex's co-gm chapter which I simply will not do at the risk of damaging/upsetting what she has planned, plus for the simple fact that I think it'd be easier for new players to understand the tone and expectations of the rp in a chapter properly run by me. On the same token, I'm not prepared to push Rex's chapter, and Buns' as well, back for scheduling reasons, and I'd rather push on with the plot instead of making more setups for new players. And on top of that, I'll be on holiday with Rex at the end of August/beginning of September and there's a possibility there might not be consistent posting during then due to internet availability, which would also contribute to difficulties with new players and posting expectations for daily posting when the GM... sort of goes missing for a bit.

And on top of all of that, the plans I have made for my chapters following everyone's co-gm chapters already involve a heck of a lot of work and busyness for me in running. What I have planned to aim for those chapters is already large, ambitious and challenging enough that I might be biting off more then I can chew already - having six players now, especially it being you guys, actually makes that a bit easier, but it'll still be hard. More new players, would just make it exponentially more difficult.

I'd also like to build up the relationships between our current characters some more too, and I think new players and characters would get in the way of that a bit. I think we're making excellent progress in that, and I couldn't be happier with everything everyone's done. But I think staying with the players and characters we have at the moment will help us to transform our cast of friends into a tight-knit family and elevate the future drama approaching even better.

Saying that though, you guys know what I have planned with the structure of this rp and the near future of it, and what I aim to do after my chapters and [BIG FAT TIMESKIPPING SPOILERS]. I think that time is probably the best time and place for thinking about recruiting new players, even if that is a while away. It just makes more sense. :)

With regards to this current chapter, I think we'll likely go with Buns' suggestion, which she's free to explain if she wants or we can keep as a surprise for the rest of you. :) Saying that though, if anyone has any ideas or desires for things within the IC, then by all means ask. Ask on the ooc and be communicative, and I'll do my best to oblige if it's possible. With the current rounds and scenes we've got, I still need to catch on the IC but I think we're cool for everyone to be able to freely interact and introduce whatever they like until... next Tuesday? Where I'll introduce the new elements that will be happening this chapter and move the scene along for everyone. :) Go wild and crazy, everyone!

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Hello everyone!

Unfortunately I have some bad news to announce, and that is that Danni has left the rp effective immediately. I won't go into the details explaining why, but I wish her the best of luck in her future rping endeavours.

With that said, we still have an rp and chapter to continue, so I'll be back to taking the reins for this chapter. I'm not going to be skipping the ending of this chapter since everyone knows that isn't my style, and it'd suck for everyone I think, so we'll be continuing on, in order to help finalise Dylan and Tobias' stories (as well as Dalia) and make use of Rose, Angel and Simon as well. Plus the Academy is a good setting and it'd be a shame to waste it. However, I won't be using the rest of Danni's plans for this chapter, for various reasons. Instead I think it'd be more interesting to tailor the rest of this chapter and its themes, events and plot etc to ideas we can create together as a group, things that we think would be interesting and fun to explore. :D

So with that said, discussion times and possibilities. Anyone have any ideas/concepts they'd like to see and explore with the setting we've got?

Also, since we've lost a couple of players now, I'm somewhat considering (but haven't decided on) recruiting a few more players. Just wondering what people's opinions are on this. Whether it's something they don't want, do want and would be excited for, or could swing either way. Just want to see what our options are with things at the moment.

*totally not jealous*

Among the Sleep looks pretty awesome too, although playing a horror game as a baby seems kinda... hmm. :I I'll have to look it up and watch some playthroughs cus I don't think I'll ever actually play it, lol. PC sucks too much for gaming.

Aliquam: Tobias' Gala - Second Floor

"Marcus likes to be alone a lot. It's kinda weird. Sometimes we find him doing things that don't seem like things he would--" Trixie gasped loudly and reached for both of Estelle's hands this time. "WHAT IF HE'S DANCING. What if, what if he like, is actually really into dancing but didn't tell us cuz he thinks we don't think it's cool and he went down there and is dancing with some random girl right this minute??"

"Leader," Xan chuckled "It looks like you'll have no choice but to dance."

“W-w-what?!” Estelle shouted out loud with an mild scream. There was no way Marcus would leave her to just dance with some random girl… would he? Estelle knew that Marcus was a private man and enjoyed his personal time, she respected that. But she couldn’t believe for a second that the reason why he did was because… was because…

Was because she annoyed him so much that he had to go find another girl to dance with!

Estelle raced out of the room as quickly as she could (which, with the dress she was wearing was easier said then done and a miracle that she didn’t fall over upon snagging her feet on her dress and cracking her head on the floor) to the banister which overlooked the main party hall below, and the spiralling and pirohuetting dancing that was taking place by couples below. She strained her eyes as much as she could to try and see if she could make out Marcus below- but the people were all too far away, and moving so quickly that they simply became a blur. It sucked that for the most part guys wore either only black or white, and not the colourful dresses that she and the other ladies at the party wore- it made it so much harder to distinguish who was who.

She turned on the spot, looking back at her friends with anxiety straining her eyes.

“Well,” Rose began, stifling a laugh. “It looks like we’ll be going down to the main floor to find Estelle’s friend and dance then.” She smiled and tittered in a polite and refined manner, before turning back to Dalia. “My apologies, Miss Dalia, but I’ll have to excuse myself from Tobias’ galleries. And Estelle as well…” She had turned to stare back at the dancefloor below. “I think she’ll want to find her friend first. But perhaps Trixie and Xandra would like to go with you?”

Meanwhile...

Far below, on the ground floor itself, a figure skirted across the perimeter of the ballroom. Their eyes quickly darted from side to side, inspecting each and every person they saw, his eyes focusing upon and lingering on a select few before moving on. His eyes switched to the dancing, and the way in which the dancers moved gracefully, their dresses trailing behind them and marking the paths they stepped, only to then turn to the band that was supplying the room with the wondrous music they gave, and the gusto with which they played. This was definitely a lively party alright, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves heavily. It was all so… so inspiring!

Beautiful women everywhere! As far as the eye could see! It was just so… so…! Perfect!

And then he stopped in his tracks. His eyes bulging with admiration and awe as he spied a scene of unbelievable beauty lying in front of him. His pace quickened, striding straight across the main hall floor, moving as briskly as he could towards his target destination…

"Eyyyyy shake that arse!" Moira bellowed, standing up and imitating the barman's shaking. "Has anyone ever told you what a nice arse you got?" As the barman continued to work upon the drinks he would serve, Moira continued to flaunt her own amazing shaking skills. "Ey, Ree, you do much dancin'? I ain't had a proper dance in forever-"

“SAY CHEESEEEE!”

Flash!

A sharp flash blinded Moira, Amy, Aria and Dylan alike, as a man dressed in a fabulously stunning tuxedo that would put even the world's greatest secret agents to shame suddenly popped up out of nowhere in-between their group and Lucien, Lute and Syed’s own. The camera in his hands flashed repeatedly, as the man angled himselves in many different directions to take multiple photos of the three striking beauties before him. “It’s so nice to see you all again, and you all look even more sexy and hot then before! Wow!!”

Flash, flash, flash



“And you’ve even brought a new friend with you!!” Simon’s nostrils flared up with a huff as he took photo after photo, the latest ones focused on Aria. “My name’s Simon! Who might you be?”

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Heyas everyone! Just caught up on everyone's posts, and you'll doing absolutely wonderful! I'm going to start writing and update a scene, and then do the rest a little bit later today. I just really need to sneak in and add something before the opportunity is lost >:D

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Aliquam: Tobias' Gala - Second Floor

“A superhero? Oh my.” Rose lifted her hand to cover her mouth, startled by the adorableness that Trixie the pixie wondergirl brought in front of her. It was almost too much. If they were at the Academy, Rose might have grown a trifle more stern, to warn Trixie that such games were unbecoming of a student or visitor within the Academy lest it lead to accidents and disasters such as the earlier transgressions that Trixie’s friends, Lute and Lucien caused. But seeing as they weren’t at the Academy, and were instead at one Mister Tobias Smith’s party, whose own flirtatious deviancies with students had caused her much headache and aggravation in its own right…

“Well, we should be ever vigilant for troublemakers and villains then, shouldn’t we?” Rose replied with a serene smile, patting Trixie’s shoulder and introducing herself to, and greeting Estelle and Xandra one after the other. Estelle’s shoulders relaxed from their stiffness after seeing how surprisingly kind and down to earth Rose was. She always had the impression that most rich people were stiff and full of decorum, manners and pompousness that made them look down upon poorer people. Lisette was a rare exception to the rule. And to Estelle’s delight, it seemed Rose shared that trait. It was relaxing.

"Pleasure to meet you," Xandra said with a nod. "We were just planning to look around, but aside from that we're doing well." She gave the woman a smile. "What about yourself?" The manners with which Xandra spoke filled Rose with a great sense of satisfaction and pleasure – Xandra certainly knew how to conduct herself well.

“I was actually about to take a stroll and converse with a few more of my friends about the party, if not partake in a spot of dancing as well.” Rose smiled. “Would you care to join me?”

“D-d-dancing?” Estelle stammered, her cheeks flush with red. “I-I-I, er, don’t do dancing…”

Aliquam: Tobias' Gala - Second Floor: Recreation Room

Marcus’ eyes twinkled with a smirk on his lips at the promise of interest. He certainly hadn’t come to Tobias’ party with the expectation of a game of cards being played at the same time as all of the fine dancing, eating, drinking and conversation, Aliquam and Tobias himself almost seeming a tad too refined to allow that, but at the same time he shouldn’t have been that greatly surprised. Where there were people with a lot of money congregated together, they tended to take great delight in gambling amongst each other, even those whom were meant to be students.

“Angel, it’s a delight to meet you again, and… ?!” Marcus’ eyes bulged in disbelief at Sebastian sitting on one of the chairs around the circular table, holding his hand of cards within his hooves close to his muzzle, shiftily looking from side to side to make sure nobody could see. His fine moustache bristled with a snort from the horse, who also wore a low visor cap to make sure even those looking over his shoulders couldn’t see.

“Isn’t that… isn’t that the horse which… with Lucien…?” Marcus was, for once, rendered utterly speechless.

Sebastian looked up at him and snorted his bristling moustache again with a snort. He tilted his head to one of the free chairs at the table and then looked at his cards again. The expression was clear:- If Marcus was going to play, then play.

“I… I don’t mind playing. I think a game like this would be interesting, actually. But I’m afraid I don’t have any money on me at the moment… and I’m not certain I could actually match the stakes you’re all probably playing for...?”

Congrats on the one month anniversary, Aki!

RPs are notoriously difficult to get off the ground and keep going. I think the majority of rps that die early don't last three weeks, so a month is super promising and a good indicator of future success. :) Best of luck on your voyages, cap'n!

Morning Kathi! ^o^

What game are you playing?

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Hey there, El! Unfortunately the RP is currently closed to new players for the foreseeable future. However, if a spot for new players does open up, I'll be sure to inform you. :) Thank you for the interest, and I wish you the best of luck with your rping and a pleasant day. I also love your avatar and sig. :)

Kei: POTATO DONO NOOOOOOOOOOO
