Responsibility belongs not to the name stenciled on the mantel, but to the one who carries the mantle.

We need to wait for Hailey.

The problem I am seeing is that it could become confusing. Take your attack post Clever girls to distract the guards, while I'm standing here so wonderfully close to Vlad. I had turned to watch Dallas and Roxy approach the tables of knives, and in so doing stepped a little closer the vile man, apparently unaware of his proximity. A quick step back as Roxy threw her blades, put me behind and to one side of Vlad, he saw me stepping back I think, he tried to turn and face me. I had shifted my upper torso and head already, and bit at his neck, grabbing at his shoulders with my paws. If the weasel didn't dive to the floor, I'd have his neck in my jaws, and then it'd be a matter of time before his neck was broken, I probably wouldn't even have to try, the tazers would do the trick for me. If he did dive to the floor, I'd bring my paws down on his unprotected ribs, since human instinct would protect his head and neck, trying to crush his ribs and the organs beneath them. By now the guards would likely be attacking me, I just hoped the other three would make it out okay.

Here is what I would have liked to post:
Clever girls to distract the guards, while I'm standing here so wonderfully close to Vlad. I had turned to watch Dallas and Roxy approach the tables of knives, and in so doing stepped a little closer the vile man, apparently unaware of his proximity.VLAD WAS AWARE OF ISA AND SO WERE SOME OF THE GUARDS THEY WATCHED HIM WARILY.(Vlad is very aware of his personal space. Most people are) A quick step back Guards that noticed the move took aim so that they could be ready to take the teen out if they needed to.as Roxy threw her blades, put me behind and to one side of Vlad, he saw me stepping back I think, he tried to turn and face me(Controlling but I over look it). I had shifted my upper torso and head already Guards take aim. They had been told to shoot if the teens transfer without permission., and bit at his neck,Guards shot tranqs at Isa. They know that they might hit Vlad but that was a risk they were willing to take. They couldn't allow the scientist to day on their watch. grabbing at his shoulders with my pawsSoldier taz Isa just to get the transforming boy away from the scientist. (my last post with Vlad drapping) If the weasel didn't dive to the floor, I'd have his neck in my jaws, and then it'd be a matter of time before his neck was broken, I probably wouldn't even have to try, the tazers would do the trick for me. If he did dive to the floor, I'd bring my paws down on his unprotected ribs, since human instinct would protect his head and neck, trying to crush his ribs and the organs beneath them. By now the guards would likely be attacking me, I just hoped the other three would make it out okay. Isa is hit with several tranqs and atleast two tazers.


That's the art of post cutting: posting something that happens during someone else's post. As long as you give reference to when exactly each action is happening, like I did when referencing Roxy's attack, it's all good rping. (at least it is for me, because that's how I was taught play by post rping)

Ahhh, see...

Isa's world is broken. He rarely feels emotions anymore, he's usually what most would call clinically depressed. He cares about one thing, finding his sisters, everything else is just something in his way. He's far more focused than your average teen, and won't fit in well if asked to blend well with people his age. The shifting is a tool he needs, so he practices with it often. And you'll see that as we continue this RP. The biggest IC reason he's attacking Vlad, is that he believes that Vlad is an active hindrance to finding his sisters, based on his irrational treatment of Roxy. Right now his trigger is a memory of his two sisters, playing on a white tiger pattern rug by the open hearth back in Russia.

Will shifting time decrease with practice?

@Tracyarmav
I know it isn't instant but it should be close. His shifting should take a couple of minutes as well. I figure five to 10 minutes depending on the amount of control and practice. I have Roxy at about half an hour for a full change and she has had her DNA longer then anyone.


Ahhh, I was not thinking anything close to that long, I had a max of a two minutes in my head. My bad, sorry for screwing this up so bad. >.<

Out of curiosity why have the changes take so long? That would be a distinct disadvantage on the battlefield later...

@KatherinWinter May I propose a time skip to the next day then please?

Yes, the future actions have to be posted twice, however it gives those around me a better picture of how I plan for my character to react to the world around him. And most times the world doesn't do what I expect it to, so the "if/thens" get interrupted, which helps show a flow of time, and the actions of my second post build off of the differences in my expectations and reality.

I will attempt to forgo the use of "if/thens" in the future if you like.

Actually that isn't true. It would limit your post but I wouldn't make a post impossible. I have done it and I have had others do it. If you don't want to control the guards then you are going to have to give me room to have them post. Because Isa shouldn't have been able to grab Vlad at all unless he was right next to him. And then the guards would have tranqed him as soon as his hand touched Vlad. Which makes your last post completely impossible. He couldn't have twisted away from Lucifer or pounced on Vlad.


Okay two things

1: Isa was in fact right next to Vlad.

2: Tranquilizer isn't magic, it takes several MINUTES to knock a creature out, it isn't like the movies where it knocks them out instantly. Even IF Isa is immediately shot with tranquilizer darts as soon as he starts shifting, He'd still have time to spin away from Lucifer and jump on a prone Vlad, though he would be well on his way to taking a nap once there.

Ahhh, I prefer you run the guards, and was posting under the assumption that you were. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm accustomed to the GM running all NPC's not made by/for a specific player. That's a carry over from the D&D campaigns I started with.

Edited my post, is that better?
In Animal Army 11 yrs ago Forum: Free Roleplay
Forgive me for I fail to see why it's impossible. No one has tranqed him yet, so I can't respond to the gaurds tranqing Isa...@KatherinWinter

That would be power gaming at the least...

I'm okay if he get's tranq... my post does not prevent that from happening nor does it presume that it will not happen.
In Animal Army 11 yrs ago Forum: Free Roleplay
@KatherinWinter I'm saying that Isa isn't snapping at anyone in my post, I'm just elaborating what will happen if they don't tranq him before they approach. Make sense? And Luci is being compliant, not attacking the guards.
In Animal Army 11 yrs ago Forum: Free Roleplay
@Tracyarmav Huh? I imagine you would have to ask the guard and wait for Vlad or Sean to answer your request.


I meant how do I get Vlad permanently installed as Isa's new mattress, I finally found out what Vlad is good for.
