disclaimer:    The red sections of the thread are essentially logs of what happened in-game, so in that regard the events are considered in-character and apply.  However, this is not a public announcement available for our characters to read in Yliakum.  So, unless your character was present, or told about  any goings on, they are unaware.  This thread is for our out-of-character selves to read about what has happened and to discuss those and potential things to come.  But, if your character assumes a role in the story, this thread will allow them to  acquire any necessary knowledge to play the role.  White text is straight up out-of-character.


[IC log thingy]

Thoss Yonbur, a young Dermorian around 25 cycles old, came rambling into the Hydlaa plaza appearing quite cheery.  He had just returned from a bit of hiking and exploration, which never fails to leave him in high spirits.  If one were to assume, they might think he was on his way to Kada-El's for a bit of a wind down.  However, Thoss never quite made it there.

While walking in front of the Statue of Laanx in the center of the Hydlaa Plaza he stopped short with a curious look on his face.  Apparently something in the fountain pool surrounding the statue had caught his eye, for he then set down his pack and climbed directly into the water without a bit of hesitation, clothes and all.

He stood there, knee deep in the water, staring in wonderment at whatever had caught his eye.  With a gleeful look in his eye he slid his hand underneath the water and proceeded to let out a horrific shriek!  Immediately he jumped from the pool up onto the stone enclosure in an effort to flee, but the water from his boots interrupted his plans.  His left foot slipped on the stone, shooting off to the side, and slammed into the block rising nearby.  This induced a second episode of shrieking as the ankle bone splintered upon contact.

Even in the midst of the pain his attention immediately returned to whatever was under the water as he continued trying to flee.  In his stricken state  he was unable to rise and so began clawing and thrusting his way from the fountain on his hands and one good leg, while the other trailed behind useless...

This is a bit of an augmentation of the ideas I had with the “Roleplay – Learning and testing in-game” thread I had started.  With some advice and inspiration from a forum member, I've been flipping around the net and ran across some RPG forums of the “play-by-post” type, and thought I would blend a little bit of that idea with some gameplay here with PS.  The difference being that all the IC happens would occur in-game and this thread can serve as an OOC thread concerning those events and also as a sort of journal to log what has been happening so others may join in at some point if they so wish.

So here is Thoss, who found something in the fountain and wound up frightened, broken, and helpless in the middle of the plaza.  I would enjoy some characters to join in if anyone would like.  A few helpers for Thoss to start.

Then I will try and log the story line here, and if someone envisions a character that could fill a spot that has developed, then that would give opportunity to join.

If you do want to join, drop a single post here stating as much.  I would like the roleplays times in-game to be somewhat scheduled.  We can coordinate that through PM and then post that the times here in case anyone wants to drop in.

So that's that...if any other weird dynamics come up we can figure it out then.
