The Happy Inquisitor: A Restaurant
Thaidakar the Ghostblood replied to Lunamor's topic in Roleplaying
The man frowned, but did as asked, "It's far different than any I, or anyone in my organization, has ever encountered... It's remarkable! The light itself reacts when it comes into contact with organic material, which is why we keep it in spheres rather than other options. If one touches it, it starts to decay. Sand would be horrifying if let out in a breeze," he said, smiling as if he'd told a joke everyone would understand. -

He blinked, looking at FR, "Roshar. Urithiru. At least, that's what I think it is..." -
The Happy Inquisitor: A Restaurant

"So those are money... huh." He rubbed his chin, pulling out a small metal disc with a hole in the middle, "So these aren't money here? Interesting..." he seemed to ponder that for a minute, "No word for-" he said a word in what seemed to be a different language, "-Here? Roshar is so backwards... Using spheres for money... We did that back where I come from, but in a different way..." -
So, uh, the thing that happened yesterday...
Yeah, that might've been a panic attack, still wondering about it...
Uhm.
We'll see how the next bit goes because my emotions and focus have been all over the place.
Love y'all. I'm sorry to all of you doing the romance rp thing. I'll be trying to get that first post out as soon as possible, but I'm asking you to be patient with me. This is really the first time anything has happened like this in such a way (well... besides that one time, but that was something different.)
Anyways.... uhm...
I'm probably not going to post at all until I do that first post for the rp, most likely. If I disappear, it's cause I need to calm down over things and don't want to explode at people for things that normally wouldn't aggravate me as much as they do now.
Uncontrollable emotions and doubts about things that seemed so sure before are not fun...
Have a great day, friends!

The Happy Inquisitor: A Restaurant

"The science of magic!" he said offhandedly, pulling out a small gem and putting it on the table. It wasn't Stormlight. It glowed with an ethereal light, an almost... reverse light. "This," he said, touching a few different metals to the gem, causing light to reflect around the restaurant, "Is anti light. It isn't anti stormlight or anti void light. This, this.." he grinned, pulling out a glowing emerald broam and bringing it near to it, "this is something entirely different." The broam met the anti light. There was a pop and the broam shattered. Wisps of stormlight visibly moved away form the light, clawing away to the cognitive realm. "I don't know what it is, but I will find out. It is anti light, we know that for sure. That scholar from the university said so, though she didn't know which one it was..." -
That would be a yes. The prince as a side character would work, but if I myself would rp him, then I would most likely want him to have a point of view on the goings on. A sort of contemplative self destruction as the world goes down to pieces around him. It really interests me, how I could spin the historical man into a fictionalized caricature, far different from how he was, but the same as well. It would present me with a new challenge that I would love to have. Then again... as I think about it more, it could work better if he was in the sidelines more, but sporadically is part of everything before he isn't again. That... hmmm... It might match him more that way, from what I've read about him online. That would ultimately depend on how things work out. And, if he were a mysterious side character, he would still need someone to play him of which I offer my "humble" services.

What's your favorite tv show?

The Regency Era is easily searchable on google. The magic is going to be more limited. Basically, from what I understand, it's where you can pick to have one power that isn't too op. The power, as I understand it, is entirely up to you to decide upon what it actually is. It'll grow stronger as the Star (which is a whole world building thing) nears. Archie would know more.
-
I'm going to step away from doing stuff on this thread after this post because I need to focus on writing the first post. my vision is a regency rp with a slow apocalypse. The first post will have ground rules, an explanation of the setting and a scene to kick off the rp. Then, the committee will be there to hold continuity and answer questions, nothing else. Is that clear? Should I make a presentation and a powerpoint?
-
This wouldn't be a prince. This would be the prince of the place and time the rp will be taking place. And, besides, wouldn't you rather less confusion at the beginning? I know I would. We're not going to figure out everything, of course, but figuring out certain things is good. And, I think, asking questions of the main thread is also a good choice so that we can try to as closely tailor it as possible to the people playing it, the background information and the beginning post, that is. Getting the public opinion is what you want, isn't it? Just making everything up on the spot and taking over would not be the best thing to do, from what you've said, my friend. I and others are trying to make the background information work seamlessly together for everyone involved. Pre rp stuff is what we're supposed to do, so we'll storming well do it. This is for answering questions and making it so that people will have help when they need it. And what do you mean by that, Aeo?
-
Wanting is fine and all, but we're still working on it. Believe it or not, these things take time to build up so that it works well. *shrug* I mean, it can be that way, though, I would prefer it not to be. This just is a more important role that would impact the rp, it seems like a good thing to ask people about before marching on ahead and taking it with no consideration for the others participating. Edit: I realized, I've been being a bit hostile. Ima step away from the shard for a bit before coming back.
-
Ahhh, what a wonderful idea, my friend! That is unfair to ask of everyone... Why don't I just do it so that I can spare everyone else from having to do it... I definitely never wanted it in the first place. But, yes, I would be open to doing it myself. I just thought that asking the main thread first to see if someone else was wanting to do it would show common courtesy. (frick, do I sound hostile here? I'm not trying to sound hostile, I promise!)
-
How about... no? Think about what that would add? What drama it would bring... imagine the flavor of an impetuous, ridiculous king who wants to keep the aristocracy in the ruling position, yet has a soft spot when it comes to the ladies. Yes, he would order people around, but that's in the rp! He would add someone to fight against as the world is falling apart, someone to blame for all the distress that's happening in the world, someone to point at and say "It's his fault" when it really isn't in any way. Think about it for a minute what kind of interactions he could have with everyone, providing another layer to the political side of the rp... And, besides, think about what sort of romance he would have, as that is part of the main point? Think about all the fun that could come... And... I'm rambling XD
-
Hey, all. I and others were wondering about something (though it was mostly me.) What if someone rped as the Prince Regent, King George IV? He would have to be younger, for the purposes of this rp. We were having a discussion about how to have him in it in our PM and thought to ask the thread. the main option is that we have it where people nominate themselves and then people vote on which one. that one, all in all, seems the most logical solution. Any opinions on that?
-
That's where the fun comes in!

The Best Candy (debate)
Thaidakar the Ghostblood replied to Just-A-Stick's topic in Social Groups, Clans, & Guilds
Hmmm... I can see why, now. Holding them like a cigarette wins me over a little bit. I need to try red vines again, though. I've had twizzlers recently and thought they were better than I remember, if they're less plasticy... might be pretty good. Still won't give them the top spot, though. That belongs to my precious chocolate candies. -
The Best Candy (debate)
Thaidakar the Ghostblood replied to Just-A-Stick's topic in Social Groups, Clans, & Guilds
you are sorely mistaken, my friend. It is Twix. w h a t. I've warmed up to them over the years, but they are, surely not, the best candy! -
True, but that depends on your definition of small skills.
-
Some short intense magic fights could be fun. Imagine someone ordering an assassination to get someone out of the way of their plans to get money for some reason. Fun things could go on, depending. And, furthermore, imagine a fight between two people over another person with magic...
-
Idk why, but it's hard to feel calm-
Like I just feel a little over stimulated and was hyperventilating for a bit, I was also a bit shaky and still am a little. Having some chocolate helped, but idk what to do-
I don't know what's wrong- Nothing is really out of the ordinary. I guess I've been a little stressed about how long it takes for me to get school done, but I've been coming up with solutions and know that I can really just take my time. In writing this, I'm starting to guess that it's my subconscious freaking out about school.
I'm just trying to breath and do things that make me calm. It's so weird...
I've turned on the clone wars and now I think I'm better for the most part.

As I've said in a PM, I think having it up to everyone to figure out their own magic systems and what they want is what we should do, making it more customizable. Though, it would be encouraged, as to keep the tone of the story, to make it generally softer rather than harder.
-
It will only be for answering questions about the setting and doing the pre rp stuff. I get it. I'll prove the cynical and untrusting thoughts wrong. OH BTW ALL OF YOU. I need to make it very clear that my activity might be really all over the place with school and all, so I'm sorry for that. I'm also going to be trying really hard not to get myself super into answering every question and inserting myself into every disagreement. So sorry if I cut out randomly for an hour or two when I said I was going to be pretty active. That's gonna be the reason why, most likely. Considering what happened last time I tried to do that kind of thing... *shudder* It did not end well. Not at all.
-
I will do everything in my power to make sure it is only that (and making the intro post.) I swear it. I can't promise other people won't try to make it to control the rp, but I can promise I will fight for it not to be. I know how it can be and how it can help, so I will do my very best to make it that way. Very best and perfect are not the same, so keep that in mind, my friend as we get into this rp.
-
It wouldn't be dictating what you can and can't do. It would be answering questions about the setting. That's not the same as the game makers. The game makers are setting the plot, guiding it, giving deadlines, giving specific rules for how the role-play works in regards to all the specifics.. This is not the same. It's setting some things for the setting so people don't get confused and answering questions. That is not the same, Aeo, so don't pretend it is. It's a thing I came up with to try and help out those like you to not get confused about things. This is the step I've suggested to help prevent a load of confusion and major inconsistencies when it comes to background info. That is all. If you have any issues with this idea, feel free to state it.
