Time Travelling Roleplay?

Editing previous posts sounds like a massive headache and a lot of work prone to errors and mistakes. But a time travel rp has potential.

I'd suggest simply making it explicit and clear the time and date of a post within the IC, and then frequently updating the op of an rp with a timeline of dates (and if neccessary, times during those days) along with a summary of what happened there, as an easier guide and reference. For any changes that occur, make it clear in the summary how that branches off and what new events happen (ala parallel worlds).

Los Paraisos: The Grande Diamond: Conference Room

She wanted a demonstration of their skills now?

Thunderhawk bit the edge of his lip, as one by one the rest of his companions began to display their various talents in an effort to showcase their worth as an employee of the Grande Diamond. Doing their best to win Lady Vasco’s admiration in order to secure a job and thus not have their cover horribly blown. One by one, his companions began to provide short demonstrations, from incredible displays of art, song and dance, to more practical abilities that would aid in serving the establishment’s clientele in the running of games, serving of food and drink, and perking up the spirits of rich clients in look of companionship.

And Thunderhawk realised he had no such skills to showcase.

There wasn’t anything here he could do to impress Lady Vasco. He didn’t have any magical abilities that could be exploited, nor did he have any grace or charm in which to soothe anyone. The majority of the time, he proved the complete opposite. He was a hardy enough fighter when it came to being embroiled in a scrap, and he had enough common sense to know when enough was enough and getting the hell out of danger when the coinage simply wasn’t worth it in order to save his skin, but how on Ddaear would that be of any benefit? And in this pause, as he deeply considered just what he could do, what he could actually contribute to the world and his friends, he realised… there was nothing.

He was an abysmal Guilder and an abysmal man. He was lucky he ever managed to reach C rank, and blessed that he had only ever gotten deranked and not dismissed. He was lucky he even had these people he was worth right now to talk to. After all, he had wasted his life being nothing more then a lecherous, cynical drunk. A life that was now coming back to haunt him, and throw them all in jeaopardy.

This was it, he thought to himself as Xandra finished her demonstration. This is where it all falls apart because I absolutely useless-

Wait. Wait that was it!

“Batilda, Blue Lagoon, Greyhound, a Lime Rickey, Red Lotus, Sexy Beach, Blue Blazer… I know every type of alcoholic drink there is in the world, how to make and serve them,” Thunderhawk replied with a smile. “Unfortunately I can’t demonstrate this right now unless we were at a bar, but I can assure you… you wouldn’t be disappointed.”

The rest of the group all fixed their eyes and stared at him. As far as abilities went, that was certainly Thunderhawk. Who could have ever imagined he would use such a horrible negative facet of himself as a good thing?

“As for me,” Marcus picked up, smiling a bedazzling smile. “I have a very acute attention of my surroundings and finer details. Good hearing too, and a good reader of body language, which makes it both easy and fun to handle customers. For example.” Marcus turned her eyes in the direction of the door, the window inset to it, and the stunning curvaceous woman beyond. “We have an audience.”

Ohhh, I was checking the for a sec in class and didn't notice that the only one I looked at was the prequel (released years later), which is only 300 pages. Yeah, the books are long... But hey, now $20 for over 2000 pages doesn't seem so bad, huh? :p The only book series I've ever read that were that long were Harry Potter, I haven't had the patience in a long time and I'd really like to fix that, so now I'm leaning more towards "what the hell", lol.

Yeah I noticed there was a prequel book. Idk if it should be read first or later when it was originally published, be that after book seven or ten or whatever. Probably the latter. Better to start with 'The Eye of the World?'



(UK cover is superiorrrrr)

I've not read enough proper books lately which is why I want to change that too. c: I'm also about 2/3 of the way through the first Mistborn book 'The Final Empire' that Danni mentioned waaaay back at the start of the rp's continuation and it's been a massive blast. Part of the reason I'm interested in Wheel of Time other then how long, epic and well reviewed it is is because the Mistborn writer took over WoT after the original author died, using his notes. It'll be fun 8]

/jealous of you fast readers. Pach isn't fast ;A;

But it should be great fun 8D

All of you guys' posts have been amazing <3 So much fun to read and I can't wait to respond to them :D Really awesome and interesting ideas from everyone! Lucien made me die from laughter and Xandra's was really, really clever actually. Good showcase of balance for waitressing etc c:

What to do with Marcus and THawk, hmm~

Hope everyone's doing okay! It is the frigging weekend and thank god for that! NO WORK TOMORROW HALLELUJAH

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Los Paraisos: The Grande Diamond: ???

“Well well, if it isn’t my favourite girl Heather,” Bart leaned back in his chair, propping his feet back on top of the embankment of controls for the monitors, casually looking through his magazine as the other rolled up more and more of his noodles with his chopsticks.

Heather O’Roark. Diligent, dutiful and reliable, if but to a fault, she single mindingly focus on the job first, and fun last. That was something Bart could get behind, compared to his other companions who enjoyed wiling away their time on pointless frivolities, although Heather was simply a tad too high strung. She needed to loosen up more, as if cracking a smile would kill her, although it certainly helped maintain their group’s reputation with all the work she would do to make up for Bart’s own lack of. Either way, Bart had made himself a promise an eternity ago that he would be the one to force a smile to crack on her lips... somehow.

“Mistress wants a green tea?” Bart replied, returning his eyes to his magazine and picturing Heather’s head atop the many lovely portraits inside. His chair swung just so that he, and the magazine, were out of his partner’s view. “Sure, I can get you a green tea, if you give me a back and foot massage.”

Los Paraisos: The Grande Diamond: Ground Floor: Conference Room

He felt his entire body tense up the moment she entered the room. He knew that the ease in which they originally got into the building would be a small feint for much harder trials within, but he hadn’t expected to have his disguise and mannerisms scrutinised by a woman like this quite so early. And a woman like Lady Vasco… Thunderhawk knew all too well. The kind of women he would have his eyes locked on to the moment he’d seen them. The type that commanded attention whilst subtly glancing over and taking notice of a hundred different details about you. The type that looked down on you. The type that was just like her.

He watched Selan pace up and down the conference room, following Dylan and Aria, and with Lucien and Xandra following. He took note of the way in which they swaggered, their hips rocking from side to side, and their chest bounced up and down, along with that sultry turn and wink back to their interviewer in an attempt to charm and gain her approval. He took great care and attention to observe all of this, with the hope that he could somehow, magically replicate it so as to not have their ruse busted from the outset. And he promised, that was the only reason he ogled his partners so intensely.

‘Huh, Aria and Selan really do have it going on… shame about their personalities, though.’ Thunderhawk mused to himself. ‘Even Xandra’s more woman then I thought she was. Was she acting like Aria just then? Is… is that what I should do? Try to impersonate Aria and Selan…? Can I? Can I- oh shit, it’s my turn now isn’t it?!’



Thunderhawk was snapped out of his reverie once he realised that after Marcus finished his walk, it would be his turn, and the spotlight was centered squarely on him. He… he wasn’t ready. He couldn’t be ready. How in the world could he have thought he’d be able to masquerade as a woman?!

“The reason why I’d like to work here, at the Grande Diamond, is that there’s no finer establishment on the entire island… if not the entire world.” Marcus explained, with his uncannily on pitch feminine voice and delicately subtle mannerisms. It was frightening how good he was. “If one is to work, should it not be at the best?”

He slowly turned, gracefully stepping foot over foot back to his seat, leaving all eyes on attention resting firmly on Thunderhawk. This… this was the moment of truth. He gulped, and rose from his seat. It was forntunate indeed that Aria had recommended the long dress – not to mask the hairiness of his legs but to obscure the shaking of his knees.

‘Deep breath, Hawk, deep breath. You can do this. You’re a C… well, D Rank Guilder. And a bit of subterfuge is nothing for a D Rank Guilder.’

His chest fell as he exhaled, and his eyes flicked open with a spark of unbridled determination. He started to walk forwards, from one end of the table to the other, doing his best to follow in the footsteps of his allies and show ‘the goods’ for Lady Vasco to be able to see quite clearly. And then, centring himself as he did, he spoke.

And by the gods, it wasn’t actually terrible.

“My name is Henrietta, age 23. As for the reason I am applying for this job, well…”

His mind suddenly stopped, coming to a blank on what to say next. He needed something. Something good. Something convincing, that would help not only keep any suspicion away, but to make sure it couldn’t have a chance of igniting in the first place. He thought back over his partners’ various reasons. He could copy one of theirs, wording it slightly different, and the result would be perfectly okay, wouldn’t it? But then it also risked the chance of sounding… well, boring. And knowing the type of woman Lady Vasco was like Thunderhawk did, they couldn’t stomach boredom. Their time was precious. Far too precious to be witnessing the same thing over and over. They had to see something different and interesting. Something that left an impression.

Instead of appealing to her as a simple job interviewer…

Thunderhawk decided to try honesty and respect (of a sorts). Instead of trying to charm and butter her up with politeness as the others had, he would appeal to her more personally and truthfully (...well, again, of a sorts).

“The money. I’ve heard the job pays well. I'm quite willing to do anything for good money.” He winked.

Edit 2: Okay, done. It's a little short, yeah. Pach, lemme know if I should be posting for Neil, if so I'll get on that ASAP tomorrow.

Only if and when you want to. He's shared between us, so I don't mind if and when you do but there's also no necessary expectation from me. :) If inspiration strikes you, go for it! I'll be picking up Kenneth and Neil's scene again in a couple/few-ish days depending on how much the plot progresses, and you'll definitely know when a good moment is for you to control him ^o^ If you want I can explain more in pm. c:

How is everyone? Pach just finished work and is soaking wet and exhausted and wants to crawl up in his bed and fall asleep!

In other words it's Thursday D|
