Re: Downtime planning thread.

That works for me, saves me the time of researching how one would be held. Indeed we only need a reason and not a spesific one.

by Nicole Bouchard Sat Aug 18, 2018 5:25 pm

True enough.

Let's say for PC-PC threads, it's up to *us* to work out how such an scene would occur [if they could at all]. As long as we run the idea past you before going with it...

by **Anja Rebekka Schultze** Sat Aug 18, 2018 6:33 pm

If it is just PC/PC interaction you can arrange it as you will yourself there is not need to run that by me just if NPCs are interacted with to a great extend and such that is important.

I have invited Tane's player to take part in this thread as well.

by Tane Karyak Thu Aug 23, 2018 3:36 am

[Tane's apartment]

there was a werespider who was slain in the battle

That might be the one i'm talking about. Is that true? Do we have the remains?

If we overextend ourselves, we'll have our necks cut.

I sadly agree. Tane nodded with a grin

what it looked like from the outside, but your words ring true.

Nobody asked me to stop at the moment. When i was retieving her i was asked not to kill her, something i was clearly not going to do. I know how valuable that kind of prisoner could be. We could know where and how are the other nephandus groups. If we could strike them with force when they are licking their wounds and disorganiced, more so if there's no other labyrinth but just individuals around, that would be awesome.

It would have been... easier to get home, I suppose, if you had simply hurried out as you were told to.

If the place was a piece of corrupted spirit with the strenght to do any harm, it would have been very irresponsible to leave if, having the power to get back and the allies needed to take it out, i wouldn't. My mission is to watch over this town at large. One angry spirit like that could come back and spit us any kind of lesser spirit, eat etherite's crafts or who knows what.

other factions close.

They see us as another race altogether, and we are. They also see us all secret and magick and want to preserve theirs secret as long as possible.

I was allowed to share in its senses, in short glimpses.

A, i see. Well, i was not in berserker rage or anything like that, i disobeyed simply because i saw a weak command and that nephanda was hard as nails.

((Ok then!))

[Tane] (Steelhaven at 8 30 in the evening)

though being chased around the airport by a crazy bitch Nephanda might be less standard

That airport used to be a fair neutral point. Now it's just scene to a new kind of aggression. Regretable.

I hate that she was hurt like that.

Well, we're taking care of it and it will never happen again, so for now we can just focus on rebuilding

(Talking with an old shaman.)

And even then it will be far from safe.

Well, now i need to reach it and study it so that i can get an idea of how to use it...

You posted this in the wrong thread.

by **Anja Rebekka Schultze** Fri Aug 24, 2018 10:56 pm

Did we remember the ghost boy at the hospital's gift to Bon Bon the cat and Amadeus trying to give Susannah his secondary Avatar, those two should probably also be on the list if they are not already.

by Warpmind Fri Aug 24, 2018 11:15 pm

I remembered about Amadeus' companion Avatar - the point about trying to summon a Psychopomp to help with that.

Ghost boy, though... Ah, thread 22... Nurse Mona was supposed to find and finish Tommy's gift to Bon Bon, wasn't she? Wouldn't necessarily need our involvement?

by **Anja Rebekka Schultze** Fri Aug 24, 2018 11:25 pm

Nurse Mona was going to help finish the gift but I think Colin promised to help have it delivered to Bon Bon but for convenience as it was a minor plot point we can have her send it to his home.

Yeah summoning a Psycopomp would be useful for Amadeus's project, perhaps wait with that until after the time skip then to let Colin have some time to study the book he got from Dalisse?

by Warpmind Fri Aug 24, 2018 11:28 pm

Oh, yeah, Colin said he'd help with delivery...

Eh, that can still be done in the background; not much need for deep interaction in that regard.

And yeah, studying to summon the Psychopomp would probably take some time - but Colin doesn't have to be the one to do that; he did find the ritual for it, but he'll gladly defer performing the ritual to Morgan or anyone else present with vastly greater skill and experience. He might insist on being present for it, though. Razz

Never saw what was was about XD hey, so, posting ideas an character development thingies... I like it!

Plans (For Peace):
-Visit airport's spirit for a chat
-Commune with Henrietta's ex-husband's spirit (And getting his help with her)
-Helping Henrietta to internallize hate in a less destructive way
-Helping Beatrice's take her actual first step out of bed ( <3 )
-Try to understand little Jean Cole's father's motives for letting her out (and try to guide the little one to be properly educated in her Fera heritage)
-Have a comfortable and disinteresed chat with the old werewolve Shaman
-Write a new book, probably a sadder one
-Help secure the city
-Sleep a whole night
-Learn more about and bond with Strawberry, Paula, and Alessa
-Humiliate de D'angelos fuckers (just if i can, for fun and a little revenge)
-Play D&D (in game, please, that'd be Awesome) with Lily and meet her friends
-Ensure Lily get's proper magikal education
-Help Lily's friend understand MAGICK or at least her new world

I said that's all. This has to be updated XD
This was the idea? No?

I have a possible solution, Great One: to put in a 'newsticker' on the front page of 'recent posts'. Then, everyone will see at quick glance all the threads which have been replied to recently.

by **Anja Rebekka Schultze** Sat Aug 25, 2018 1:02 pm

Warp I am thinking we do the attempt at healing Susannah after the downtime.

Marino we are aging to have some downtime the story is currently in September and we are skipping some time ahead to November for the continuation of the story. Before then we are finishing up various scenes that needs to be played thorugh. So we are discussing what to do before the time skip. But yes your list is goid some of them are more long term goals but some of them will happen before November and we can make little scenes and play them thrugh.

Nucole sure but I will probably forget to do so if anyone want to mark new threafs though go ahead.

by Nicole Bouchard Sat Aug 25, 2018 1:53 pm

The 'newsticker' is a forum plugin, Great One. Like the one on this forum: http://ankhandrose.darkbb.com/ - it's the 'latest topics' down the left side of the page.

If you think that might be a good idea, I can talk you through how to do it using your Admin tools.

by **Anja Rebekka Schultze** Sat Aug 25, 2018 2:07 pm

I can look at that but not right now though thank you for the offer, it have been rather busy for me for a while and I have to try to keep up with the game and do not have allot of time right now so for the moment the various players will have to check in to see if there is any posts of interest themselves and we can have a look at it later.

by Nicole Bouchard Sat Aug 25, 2018 2:17 pm

No worries, and no rush. Merely bringing your attention to a) it exists and b) I know how to do it so can talk you through it.

I'm busy myself right now too, so know how it feels...

by **Anja Rebekka Schultze** Sat Aug 25, 2018 2:20 pm

Thank you for telling me about it.

by **Anja Rebekka Schultze** Tue Aug 28, 2018 4:09 pm

One more point I remembered where Richard's first aid class. I am thinking we can do that in downtime and then anyone who attend get one dot in Medicine for free which is about what you have if you have an up to date first aid course taken recently.

Also we are nearing the end of thread 29 what do everyone want to do for their first scene for the clean up thread? With Adley perhaps going to Chicago to deal with Carmon but it us up to you guys.

by Warpmind Tue Aug 28, 2018 4:58 pm

First thing I'd want Colin to do would be to meet the local Werewolves. With or without Tane.

by **Anja Rebekka Schultze** Tue Aug 28, 2018 5:04 pm

It will vary a bit on if it is with or without Tane. With Tane we should have anotjer scene going as well since Marino posts slower. Without Tane. Well the pach leader Dino is a child's heart specialist he was in one of Colin's visions so he might want to get to know him better due to Anna.

by Jeremy Silverstein Tue Aug 28, 2018 5:07 pm

What are clean-up threads?

If it's just scenes happening in downtime I suppose Serge would get on with his tasks for tomorrow. Going to the library with Kyle as a start and then slowly going through the day (i.e meeting his grand-mentor and then ikea trip with Rosa).

by Warpmind Tue Aug 28, 2018 5:10 pm

Oh, right, and the meeting with Mr. Ameli.

by **Anja Rebekka Schultze** Tue Aug 28, 2018 5:34 pm

We are using thread 30 for the various scenes that we want to roleplay that comes between now and November, these schenes will be so spread out in time it is not practical to play them day to day, so that for example Colin have a meeting the next day with a vampire and Serge might want to have that meeting between him, his uncle and his Mentor's teacher.

We could have the meeting with the werewolves as a join scene with Colin and with Tane and then start with the meeting with Mr Ameli when thread 30 starts.

by Adley Tue Aug 28, 2018 7:25 pm

going to Chicago and tying up what can be dealt with for Adley (seeing Carmon, paying back the brothers spirit, the funeral for Dylan's child, perhaps discussing that book with Crexia), but it depends on if he can get a 'ride' - seeing how their teleporters all just got a thousand paradox on their shoulders, though perhaps Hans could give him a lift. But as soon as appropriate.

by Nicole Bouchard Tue Aug 28, 2018 9:36 pm

Nick would do the first-aid course, as long as it didn't clash with anything else - her day job in itself is a pretty dangerous affair.

Regarding Downtime threads, perhaps the first one we *should* start is the cabal meeting - Nick and Serge need to be introduced and all that stuff...

The Great One and I are slowly ploughing through Nick's stuff [I left much up in the air as I thought Nick might die] and so far haven't come across anything which either of us feels *must* be RP'd [feel free to tell me if I'm wrong on this!]. However, doesn't mean there won't be one in the future.

I'm also up for any PC-PC scenes [aka one not needing any ST intervention] if anybody else wishes it [though once IC #29 is done]. I think I could think of a premise for any player to spend some time with Nicole.
