TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 Like writing a Autumn post in which she distracts her from outsparkling you. (Even though I was talking about Kobold. ) I'm not about to be out-sparkled by a fictional character, Edge. 2
Edgedancer he/him Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 I'm not about to be out-sparkled by a fictional character, Edge. Then go, go and sparkle. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Still not as high on the sparklescale as Shiny Sparkle is. Outsparkle Shiny Sparkle? 3
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 Then go, go and sparkle. I shall. By the way, would Lucentia give the Financier orders to attack any strange Epics who approached his outhouse? I was thinking she would as a defensive measure, but if she'd rather give him a phone and tell him to call for help instead, I'll write that.

Fatebreaker he/him Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Woah, had the strangest dream yesterday. I'd been replaced by an old man with some disturbingly valid points... Weird... 4
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 I'm excited. Not on sight, no. If they seem threatening, then?
Edgedancer he/him Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 If they seem threatening, then? Cll in the cavalry, sure.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 Cll in the cavalry, sure. All right. Just wondering what his response to Bioterror should be.
Edgedancer he/him Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 It's weird to hear about Tylor Swift in the news now. 3
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 It's weird to hear about Tylor Swift in the news now. "Taylor Swift has a new boyfriend…" Does she, now? And what happened to the old one, Mr. TMZ News Man, hmmm? 4
Kobold King he/him Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) It's weird to hear about Tylor Swift in the news now. It's still weird hearing about Oregon in the news for me. EDIT: "Portland powering homes using underground water turbines." Which Epic is responsible for that? Does CorpseMaker know about this? Edited April 2, 2015 by Kobold King 5
Comatose he/him Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 I don't want Kobold to die. You know why? Nobody wants Backtrack. Especially not me. Personally, from what I've read thus far, I LOVE Backtrack, and would totally take him over. Of course, part of why I enjoy him is due to Kobold's writing, so obviously the best option is Kobold not dying so he can continue to write great Backtrack posts. I think Backtrack is my second favorite character in The Dalles right now (behind Autumn Glass, and not counting Koschei since he's dead). To be fair, I haven't read much of the Portland or Astoria arcs, so maybe if I read more these opinions would change. "Taylor Swift has a new boyfriend…" Does she, now? And what happened to the old one, Mr. TMZ News Man, hmmm? I have also been having difficult separating the real Taylor Swift's personality from Epic Taylor Swift's personality. Me while in the line for a cashier at the grocery store: "Oh look, there is Taylor Swift on the cover of a magazine with a super model. That's weird, why hasn't she ripped that model's face off? Oh yeah, that's the real life Taylor Swift, who does not have murderous tendencies and shape-shifting abilities (as far as I know)." 5

Seriously, thanks--that means a lot to me. To be honest, Backtrack has only been consistent as a character since he came to The Dalles. I wrote him more as an overconfident slontze in his first Portland posts, only establishing his current easily-frightened personality after he was bullied by Lightwards and Nighthound. Before then, I was envisioning him like a much less powerful version of Deathwish. One of the really cool things about the RP is seeing characters develop and change on the page in that way, I think. It happens with everybody to some extent or another, but I get the feeling it happens a little more with me because of my relative lack of experience writing characters. 2

That cute little thing can shine some more. Your segments are always a joy. I remember that Backtrack, he still shows himself sometimes. Then we happen. (Although, if I remember right, Nighthound didn't actually bully him. Backtrack just got scared by Nighthound's inherent... nighthoundness.) I've said this before but most my characters don't walk down the path I intended for them. By now my guideline is not to assume I figured their personality out, until I wrote them. 1

By now my guideline is not to assume I figured their personality out, until I wrote them. "Nighthoundness" should be an adjective describing everything full of so much abject horror it defies all description but "nighthoundlike." "I figured their personality out, until I wrote them." Can I adopt that as my personal mantra? In all seriousness, though, I think this game is awesome for character development. Nothing helped me develop my characters more than being forced to answer questions like "How would they respond to a grouchy necromancer?" or "How would they fight an Epic brimming with nighthoundness?" 1

YES. Also, YES. I have decided to just come up with a basic, kind of one-dementional idea for character personalities, and then let the game flesh them out. Timeport was never meant to be this much of a slontze. Edited April 2, 2015 by mail-mi

Somehow, being a slontze just... suits him. I need this website every time he has a PoV. 3

mail-mi he/him Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) I think I found a headline from the day Timeport dies: I just realized. Timeport is going to join Lightwards after the CM war. With Nighthound. *shudder* I'm so sorry. Edited April 2, 2015 by mail-mi
Kobold King he/him Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 I just realized. Timeport is going to join Lightwards after the CM war. With Nighthound. *shudder* And with Lightwards getting progressively more violent and less rational with every death... ...they could form a new trifecta.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 I just realized. Timeport is going to join Lightwards after the CM war. With Nighthound. *shudder* Nuh-uh. Nighthound and Timeport will die as Ray and Angel link arms and skip off into the Paradise Land of Pancakes and Merryness. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Nuh-uh. Nighthound and Timeport will die as Ray and Angel link arms and skip off into the Paradise Land of Pancakes and Merryness. We might very well need a "What Happened in the Paradise Land of Pancakes and Merriness" thread to rehabilitate us before all is said and done.
Edgedancer he/him Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 I just realized. Timeport is going to join Lightwards after the CM war. With Nighthound. *shudder* I'm so sorry. To quote myself again: Ant then he joined Lightwards' empire and replaced Koschei as Nighthounds BFF of nightmares. Anyway ...why wait? Nuh-uh. Nighthound and Timeport will die as Ray and Angel link arms and skip off into the Paradise Land of Pancakes and Merryness. On the back of the mystical Voiddragon?
