Figured we could have an ooc channel, if anyone wants to join or comment without disrupting the flow of the story.
Feel free to msg here, for suggestions, whatever, and constructive criticism.
If you wish to join in, drop a message here, and I\'ll figure out a way to include you, should you have good ideas for the direction of the thing, feel free to drop those suggestions here too.
Simple rules? No posing for others, you can play from their poses, work from them, etc. Try to give detail when you describe something.
If you think that something doesn\'t fit, discuss it here. if you see logical inconsistencies, again, discuss it here.
The story is that of thsoe who help write it, and becomes those who read it ony vicariously... if you want to join, I\'ll find a way to work you in, like I said.
If there\'s something that is occuring that only your char would see, it will be private messaged. Otherwise, if there\'s a group there, it will be said in the thread to the group.
Anyway.. good storytelling!
-
i need a point of clarification. are the current events happening before or after the bits of information that you sent me?
-
Actually, currently after. There\'s more going on than meets the eye, fear I. But Such is as such is nigh. *chuckles*
-
hymmm i didnt read this before i posted
^^
if u want get moogie to delete it....
-
No worries. :) Will just have to fit you in. *grins* I figure we work things out, and if everything goes as planned, it\'s not nearly as much fun!
-
yay :)
-
Basically at this point you\'re a member of the party, your motivations are your own, this was a simple, one-off RP. Might expand from that, was originally just to sing songs in the tavern, but.. *shrugs* Best laid plans...
*chuckles wryly* Ahh well. And so many clues and teasers. I will usually send you things in private message, but sometimes here.
-
just snuck on the net (>.> )
make taser die, cuz taser isnt here, or someone else say wat taser does :P
-
*awwwws* and snugs. Hope you come back someday.

I have progressed to the point in my story that I can give away more about my character without jumping ahead of it. If I return to this story, would you like me to keep writing as I have been (from an outside point of view) or would you like to get into Fen\'s head a bit and find out what those one sided conversations are really about? And what does he hide under the cloth on his left arm? (if you read my story up to the latest chapter, you already know) Either way, I will try to continue from the last PM Lyistra sent me. I have something dramatic planned up in the dark.
However, all of this depends on if my PC continues working. Damn thing still freezes randomly, when it starts at all.
Ok, to make sure I get this right, let me some up what has gone on in the tale so far.
Day one: Lyistra goes into the tavern and sings a few songs for a man in the shadows who keeps his left arm hidden and a fighter name Steuben, who has a past he cannot forget and a sword that he cannot leave behind.
The next few days: Lyistra sings and tells stories and no one disturbs her.
Day?lets say six, just for good measure: The man and Steuben are in the tavern again as Lyistra tells a tall tale about an Enki chasing the Moon. (A tale only, we all know there is no moon in PS) The man refers to himself as ?Fen?, though all there sense that is not his true name. He also claims to have been born under the moon and tells of his world. Lyistra reveals that she has a shadowed past of her own.
From day seven on: Ehmaahre comes into the scene, an injured young enki who can?t speak. Lyistra saves her from the guards and elects to take any punishment the young girl has coming. Steuben and Lyisra reveal a little more of their pasts. Lyistra?s punishment comes in the form of losing the tip of her tail and being branded with a glyph.
-Steuben wishes he could have stopped it, but an oath holds him. He hears a strange conversation about ?take the bate?
-Fen, deep in the wild, gets a message from a dead man that indicates that Lyistra has somehow been tricked and is in danger. After a short conversation with ?himself? he heads on the long journey back to the tavern.
-Strange things happen in Lyistra?s room that night, but she can?t remember them.
-The next morning, a man uses a Glyph a her, using her like a puppet. Something spirit like exits her body. Fen senses it from across the street and rushes to help. Lyistra collapses and Fen meets her assailant in the door, but lets him pass for reasons known only to him. Steuben enters and has Fen carry Lyistra to her room.
- Lyistra will not wake. Ehmaahre tries to write but the glyphs in her claws won?t let her. She finally writes that Lyistra?s spirit has been taken. She then leads Steuben and Fen down into the sewers. A ghost cheetah leads them to a warded wooden door. Steuben think it is Lyistra. Fen leaves suddenly though a shadow on the wall. Ehmaahre and Steuben get the door open and find a puzzle room. The figure it out and find a hole in the floor. Then?.
-
yeah, pretty much sums it up. though, steuben would perhaps have used the solider instead.
-
Good summation, sorry for being so idle, player has been sick and occupied RL anyway. But things are continuing as I can make them.
-
Is the spirit protecting Steuben or the puppetmaster? Either way, I have a way to deal with it. I cannot help Emaarhe. Steuben will have to deal with the kitten and the man himself, as Fen will be...indisposed for a bit.
Feel better, we miss you.
-
Protecting the puppetmaster.
NOt sure how you will deal with it, but should be interesting.
-
as i prep the dance between steuben and the kitten, is there anything i should be aware of weapons, etc.?
-
Dealt with. You like it? The chain is actually the Den\'feire, the \'Chain of Souls\' from my story. You set your story up just right for me to use its power. And I thought Lyistra would like to see Fen\'s world.
-
Ok, I wasn\'t paying serious attention to what\'s going on here. Now, can someone give me a brief sum-up, please? Are you guys telling stories, or are you acting out stories or what? I could find out myself, but I\'m sure it\'ll make more sense if you jsut tell me.
-
Look up 8 posts. :D
-
Right, ok, well, it looks like you\'re in the middle of your own thing then, so I won\'t interrupt.
-
No interrupting involved if it continues the story somehow. *smiles* Private message me, with ideas, I\'ll see what I can do.
-
No, I was just thinking of throwing my character in, but I don\'t think he\'d fit well. Besides you people seem to know what you\'re doing, whereas I\'m sort of confused, so...
-
What shall we do now? Fen will still be out for a while. Perhaps Steuben could have Taser help drag the kitten and Fen back to the tavern, unless Lyistra has something more planned down in the sewers. I will think of something to write tomorrow. Maybe I will have Lyistra meet some of the people from Fen\'s memory until he wakes. She would like Sabrene.
-
Fine with me. Can do part of that through private message. Other ways we can talk too. Dunno if you yahoo or AIM.
I have a couple of things I\'m working on, so pretty idly here and in-game.
-
actually the part that steuben isn\'t looking forward to is getting everybody back up. unless there is another way out. i can\'t imagine the puppet master would shimmy up and down a rope each and every time. that and he isn\'t dead, merely unconcious for the time being.
edit: may as well assume that everybody has been gathered up into lystra\'s room for the next series in the \"real world\"
-
I\'m not sure where to go from here. Just kind of spining my wheels in a scene with Steuben. Need input. I did add a little twist to my character though. Handle with care...and guard your ladies.:evil: He may be on a leash, but you never know what he may do.
Ok...input received. *looks at Steuben* Shall you or I go next.
If you wish to include...well I suppose it\'s Yamuel until Fen wakes...in your own posts, remember that he is vile beyond belief, barely restrained by his fear of \'punishment\' from Fen. He has no qualms over killing, as Fen does, which may or may not come in handy. The chain easily absorbs the power of any Glyph that is used against it. However, \'bad things\' happen if it actualy touches one. Not to him, to those around him. He hates Steuben for some reason, especialy his sword.
-
[steuben]he\'s more the fool for fearing the blade over its master.[/steuben]
perhaps, it is because he sees in steuben a person who is willing and capable of doing that which yamuel whispers to fen. but, who chooses, at least apparently, not to.
i may have a plot neutral, or reasonably neutral, filler. i\'ll pm the details to see if anything conflicts will lyistra\'s hints
-
Who said anything about fear? I just said he hates it. ;) As to the rest, who knows what goes on in the mind of evil?
-
the shadow knows.
looking back i think we\'ve forgotten about the kitten, poor lass. we may have to rejuggle a couple of things. somehow.
-
The kitten in the room, or Emaarhe? The kitten, I see as trapped by Emaahre?s ward. Emaarhe herself, I figured to be still frozen on the litter with Lyistra after touching the glyph box. They are being carried together, I asume. Why did she touch it, though. Was it to protect her from Yamuel?or from herself. We will have to wait for Lyistra to return to find out. Yamuel/Fen can?t break the power of the glyphs holding them, as they are too close and the ensuing ?warp? would most likely kill them. Another way will need to be found. And then there is the puppet master in the litter. Can?t forget about him. This tale is starting to get complicated?just the way I like it.J
On a side note, the ?white flute? from one of my earliest posts, the ?ship? from the ?dream world?, and the ?Enki?s eyes? from my last post have been explained and given deeper meaning in ?Chain of Souls?, which is now complete. Yamuel?s ?punishment?, however, is not. You will have to wait for my next tale for that. ;)
*edit to avoid double post*
Awk...you knew I couldn\'t stay away. Can\'t leave Steuben all by himself to have all the fun. And I won\'t let this tale die until it does end, since it is the one and only active RP in the RP forum. Since Fen left to go write CoS at Kada\'s, I have taken a character from Steuben\'s post. Hope you like it, and meet you at the grapes.
-
Regrettably, the player is having some severe neurological problems, so my time here has been limited by my pain tolerance.
So, without further ado, I\'ll be back for a bit, I hope.
-
Feel better. :(
Does anybody mind if I set up the endgame? I have a little something special planned. It may get a little long and descriptive to get the setting just right. It may also take a few days to think it through.
-
At this point, go for it. Fraid I\'m a little strapped for energy at the moment, hoping to be back on keel by the morrow, when I have coffee. ;)
You folks take care, and I\'ll work on seeing what I can think up tomorrow to continue. My apologies for my continued absence, but hopefully I shall be able to return forthwith. Or possibly thirdwith, then proceeding to fourth. ;)
-
The stage is set, the curtains are drawn, the lights dim...final act.
Ok, I\'m sure you\'ve figured out that the women are under the same control as the Fenkies were. The glass spheres contain the \'flesh\' that Lyistra wrote about earlier. The cloaked figure may or may not be LeLekkard. Also, the women where never killed. Their deaths were faked, they were enslaved by magic, and they will kill for their new master, though not of their own choice.
