"Is there a range limitation to runes? Someone with the permission to be there and knowledge of the defences could take an unorthodox entrance like the roof and bypass the defences that way," Ryuuko wondered, doing her best to memorise the magical information whilst translating it into more mundane terminology. Barriers presented an analogy to walls and doors themselves, simply improved, and area wards had a similarity to biometric identification or even simply cameras. Runes of a limited range could represent even more focused cameras... or traps triggered around them, perhaps the patrols of guards.

The heiress pulled away from the red light, considering where a flaw could be. The important thing was to work out if magic innately protected against unexpected methods of entry. The floor and ceiling when you had up to date plans of the building would be easily exploited if not covered for. Even a few good protections around the target with a mage able to break them were meaningless if the alarms were silenced and the outer defences skipped.

Silence reigned aside from the humming of the engine. For once in a blue moon, Toshiko's car was being driven with all due respect to the law--and not pushing its components to their absolute limit. It wouldn't be long before the tires needed replacing, as well as the brakes... let alone all the essential maintenance running a car nearly as old as either of them entailed before you decided to push it as much as possible. Ryuuko suspected magic was involved, though Toshiko didn't seem that knowledgeable about mechanics...

After a few minutes, she started the conversation again: "What protections could mages use against theft? Onmyoudo is traditionally used for barriers and protection even without real magic. Though not in the sense of stopping thieves..."

Graciously taking the keys, Ryuuko lead the way outside and to the car... wondering once again how Toshiko had so few dents on its red paintwork with the way she drove. Thankfully, the saloon wasn't a sports model or brand new, since with her employer's driving there was even more a guarantee that she'd hit something unexpected...

Once the car was open and the younger of the two seated firmly in the driver's seat, not forgetting the seatbelt, she waited for the detective to get in as well. Fortunately, she didn't need directions: the file had included the location of the crime and she'd made sure to learn the local area pretty well when she'd joined the agency. It would be no good to not know where any jobs the agency was hired for were going to happen.

If you see a picture more than once day for even a month but never the person it corresponds to, then they show up... failure of recognition is the strange response. I'm not sure why you're trying to caricature it to demanding instant worship. I said he's got odd definitions of unusual; none of this really goes against that.

(Plus Fyre and I have been RPing together for three years so)

@pugbutter

I don't see how that can justify or explain only responding to one character properly. Isn't the point of joining new roleplays to interact with other people? :T

Blades of Iron Roses: A fantasy Knight RP

No, unless you consider reading the world information to be metagaming. There's always going to be parts of character backgrounds that are common knowledge. Something as part of the public history of the knights as 'was one of the founders' isn't metagaming in the slightest. And the post mentioned a portrait and the 'well-known' part as a secondary note. Ignoring both of them means selectively choosing canon--not a choice that leads to a world with the slightest bit of coherency.

Not to mention how much more metagaming recognising a burly stranger as a surgeon in the knights would be if character backgrounds are supposedly beyond IC knowledge.

Blades of Iron Roses: A fantasy Knight RP

Which... is why there is a character background field. And the helpful note in the post that she has a portrait? Because there's a limit to showing "this character is actually well known" with only my own posts. It's a roleplay, not a book; people have to actually co-operate for certain things to be shown.

Blades of Iron Roses: A fantasy Knight RP

As I said, unusual priorities. It makes no sense intuitively or probabilistically. :T

Blades of Iron Roses: A fantasy Knight RP

Odd that you'd rate meeting a GP as stranger than meeting Faraday or Curie or something. Or, more generally, meeting a common type of person is stranger than a specific person with no reason to be there?

How frightening and perplexing should a slightly taller than average suit of armor be to him?

On a scale from "demon armor trapped in ice which has turned into a little girl" to "fifteen foot tall direwolf that can talk and is apparently also a member of the peerage," that is. ;)

@pugbutter

Wrong character. The armour's not remarkable as she's nearly part of the furniture.

Those would also be strange--though I'm not sure the wolf's a member of the peerage rather than just... oddly named. He's finding a doctor stranger than the person in clothes from another continent... who's an archmage that hasn't been seen for years. And has a portrait around here.

Fair bit stranger than meeting a surgeon.

Without even a second's delay, the purple-haired swordswoman held out one hand expectantly: "Keys." Toshiko had relented, so she wasn't going to wait on her to unlock everything. Aside from being demeaning, Ryuuko couldn't shake the feeling that the mage would change her mind once in the car and undo the brief effort. Besides, she did want some idea of the potentially bypassed protections instead of acting as a complete novice on arrival...
