My post is up!

It's pretty short, but that's because me and Rex have decided to take a small seat back with regards to leading and introducing the majority of things to allow you guys to take the initiative. Explore the grounds and create your own setups for yourself and everyone! We have a bevy of characters who work for the circus waiting to be introduced and interact to you guys at great opportune moments, but don't be afraid to explore and help create those moments. There's a whole circus grounds here waiting to be explored, so absolutely go for it!

If anyone has any problems or ideas they'd like to run before Rex and me first, you can always ask in the ooc or send us a pm or something. But I think both myself and Rex are fine if everyone takes the initiative to do and explore as you see fit. :) I don't think there's any way people can do anything wrong at the moment, so don't be afraid of that. ^_^



Phillis Circus: Grounds

“Trixie, wait-!” Estelle’s hand shot out to try and stop the speeding pixie prankster, but she was lost in the flurry of crowds around them before she could. Lucien and Lute quickly took off in pursuit, pushing and elbowing their way through to find her at the shooting gallery, leaving Estelle, Xandra, Moira, Syed, Aria and Eric behind. Aria’s eyes glanced to the large ferris wheel that overlooked the entire circus grounds, making the wise suggestion to scope the grounds out from there as well as get the lay of the land, whilst the others could perhaps explore on the ground…

“I don’t mind going on the Ferris Wheel with you!” Eric’s hand shot up with an enthusiastic, eager grin. Estelle meanwhile shook her head with a sigh and pushed the man away, stepping in front.

“I’ll go with you, Aria,” Estelle grinned. In truth, she was disappointed not to be riding the circus’ various attractions from the immediate get go, but that could all come in time. She thought it was just as good of an idea as the illusionist to scope out the entire circus grounds first, before inspecting each individual area, tent and game afterwards. Because if she didn’t at least have a rough idea of where she was going, Estelle would knowingly backtrack about herself over and over again.

And resting her feet after their walk to and from Morris sounded like a good idea too.

“Hey, Aria, should we get some cotton candy first?” Estelle asked.

Behind them, a sobbing Eric rejoined Xandra, Moira and Syed, as the trio decided amongst themselves what they’d do first. Eric was happy to follow their lead doing anything they wanted. He just hoped he could find his niece quickly.
Heyas everyone! I've not actually seen Adventure Time before, it's something I should get around to doing sometime >.>;

And yus! FRIDAY >8D Weekend tomorrow heck yeah!! Only a couple of more days until Rex comes to visit! >8D Your castshot pictures are working perfectly now, Fox! :)

Give me your achievement//trophies suggestions guuuuys >80

Gonna catch up on the IC and then write a post. C: I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
Re: Speedposting or having a post overlap others, in my rp we generally just 'call' the next post within the ooc to allow others to know not to post for the next hour or so whilst we write a post, and/or post a 'WIP' in the IC to obviously let everyone know the IC post is a work in progress.

I dislike collabing or the idea of using titanpad or otherwise within a small group as opposed to just getting on with the IC posting itself. All it takes is for one person to slow things down within a collab and it hinders and slows down the rest too (not to mention the difficulties involved with seperate timezones and the like), whereas if you've got the IC actually continually moving it makes it easier for every other player to respond to.

As for larger group/character roleplays, yeah, multiple groups/scenes are always handy and something I strive to set up. Makes inter-character interaction and scenes better and more interesting whilst also making plot development easier too.
Pretty sure that, being in the RP Discussion area, this is meant to be about bitching and gripes for RP related matters.
Post is up! :D

Whilst I was working today, I had a pretty neat and funny thought. You know how most games nowadays come with achievements you can unlock? Well I was wondering, what if the rp was a game and had achievements... what kind of things would there be? Completed and still to obtain? BD Let's go!

Listen to Moira swear 9999 times

• That must feel pretty sore

• Guilders Assemble!
Assemble and unite all 16 members of the Pride

Phillis Circus: Grounds

One by one the Pride began to meet Sammie, paying the entry fee to access the circus’ fairgrounds and then follow after Trixie to explore the site. With Moira, Syed and Aria still dealing with the matter of discreetly hiding their weapons and equipment, and everyone else already marching off to the prop room after Trixie, it left Estelle and Eric moments after entering the gate.

“Mhng… my poor, aching wallet…” Estelle quietly sobbed, as she tilted her purse upside down and jingled it back and forth, hoping to find some coins left in the darkest recesses of its shadows, only for a puff of dust to fall instead. Her face instantly turned to one of anger and glare, and she shot off to the side, gripping Eric by his collar and shaking him back and forth violently. “Why did I have to pay for you?!”

“Ah! C-c-c-c-cus I don’t have any moneeeey!” Eric wailed. “I spent the last of it on that yummy milk floaaaat!”

“Grrr!” Estelle threw him down to the ground, putting her hands on her hips as she looked down at him. “Priorities, man! You don’t spend the last of your money on a milk float when your niece is missing!!”

“I’m… I’m sorry…” Eric scratched the back of his head. “I actually bought it for her… to cheer her up when I found her… but I tried it, just to make sure it was okay… and it was so delicious I drank it alugnghg!”

Eric was silenced with a steaming boot to the face, followed by Estelle stomping off to join Xandra in exploring the fairground.

The place was rife with all manners of attractions, from the various vibrant coloured stalls selling sweets, candy and other delicious savouries, to those of more exciting attractions, such as the Magitech powered Dodgems and Teacups. There were plenty of other small stands too with fun games to try, such as the shooting gallery played with weak rifles aiming at targets, or goldfish catching with tiny net minigames, all in the hopes of winning various prizes – be it stuffed toys or other miscellaneous knick knacks. In the middle of two tents, one a tent dedicated to fortune telling, the other a magician who specialised in card tricks, was a Highstriker attraction, just waiting to test passerbys’ strength.

Set to an area to the side of the tents and stalls, a little distance away from the big top and ferris wheel, was a section filled with large, heavy metal cages. Inside of those cages were the circus’ animals – elephants, lions, gorillas and more, all decorated in their own flamboyant way. A large, muscular and bare chested man with a smooth, slicked moustache worked inside the cages, cleaning and mopping them as well as feeding each of them. He smiled and worked with a hearty laugh as he talked to and petted each of the intimidating animals.

Atop one of the slow moving ferris’ wheels main support beams, high overlooking the rest of the circus’ grounds (and drawing many a point, stare and murmur from patrons riding inside of the ferris wheel’s compartments) was a man sitting cross-legged, his head relaxed on his hands behind him, as he lazily stared down at the ground below through his red tinted goggles, with a straw of wheat casually being chewed within his mouth. One of the circus’ workers, the blonde youth had retreated to his preferred resting spot to avoid doing some of his daily chores for the time being.
Holas everyone! How is everyone today? I hope you're all doing incredibly awesome today <3

Can I just say how much I've loved everyone's posts? I can't wait to dig in with exploring the circus, massive kudos and props to Rex for the setup and the magnificent way she's done so. Rex, I honestly don't feel you need to worry at all when it comes to GMing, be it setup or pacing or anything, and this isn't just me being nice in saying that either. I think you're doing a remarkable job! I'm having so much fun!

Kei, don't roast to death :0 And Kathi, I hope you and Mandu settle in to college nicely and have a lot of fun! :)

Or is it just me and my browser or is Fox's castshot pics not showing up for anyone else? XD Hope school's been going okay, Fox! And that work is good for you too, Buns! :)

I'm going to get started on a post now!!


Morris: Circus Grounds

Xandra’s eyes surveyed the scene of the circus fairgrounds before her, taking in all the fanciful and colourful attractions before them, and the metal fence surrounding it and the gatekeeper dressed in black a short distance away. Her body tense, Xan’s mind was completely focused upon the mission of trying to find the missing people, and considering the possibility the circus may be involved, the best way of investigating. Aria’s suggestion of using her illusion magic was a good one, but not one that could be readily prolonged throughout the fairgrounds. Even if they were to get past the gatekeeper this way, there was no telling what might happen if they were discovered with their weapons intact by any of the troupe members on the inside, short of absolute chaos. Moira begrudgingly resigned herself to this fact, removing her sword and armour, as Xandra tried to reassure Trixie, before then turning to address Estelle.

Unfortunately, however…

"Leader, it might be best if we kept things subtle..." She remarked, turning briefly to look to where Estelle was standing, only for her eyes to catch Lucien already speaking to the gatekeeper, leaving no time for the opinions of any of the others. Her brow twitched, before she was suddenly shocked by something moving very quickly behind her, their feet creating a noticeable din as they touched the ground.

Xandra spun on the ground to find Estelle having jumped out of the nearby large tree, devoid of her sword and chest armour, which, after trailing her eyes upwards, Xandra found them having been neatly hidden in the branches above. And then… then Estelle began charging towards the gate right behind Lucien, yelling and shouting cries of excitement behind him.

“Oh my gods look at that ferris wheel!!” Estelle pumped her fist high in the air, rushing as quickly as she could. “And look at those magi-dodgems! And… OH MY GODS! Trixie! Look! They’ve got cotton candy!”



“It’s the circus, the circus!” Eric chippily shouted as he too ran behind after the pair, skidding to a halt behind them and in front of the fingernail tending Sammie, who looked up at the dopey looking trio above her as she blew a large bubblegum from her lips.
Hey everyone! I hope you're all doing amazingly well! ^^

I've absolutely loved everyone's posts and am going to get to work on one in a jiffy! :D

Good luck with your flight, Kathi! Have fun in America and enjoy college along with Mandu. :) You kids take care and be smart and don't go getting drunk and raving too much like my sister does, yeah?

Fox and Kei's music links 8D

Good luck with work, Buns!

Rex said Btw my posting time this Sat/Sun will be... uh... idk! I'm leaving for the airport on Saturday at like 2am and not flying off until 4:55 or something? Then I've got a six hour layover in Chicago before taking off for England. I'm hoping I'll have a good enough internet connection during that time to post, because I have a lot of difficulty sleeping on planes (motion sickness) and sleeping in public. I can bet money I'll be awake 90% of all this time. @.@ Anyway, you'll hear from me if I'm able to post. ^^

My arrival will be Sunday morning but I'm 200% likely to sleep after my arrival so I guess I'll be playing by ear from then on re: when I post. XD Sorry for the inconveniences this may cause!




Have a great day, everyone!!
