Fantasy Skyfarers: the OOC Chat

alright boiiis

we'll start the RP about a week into the voyage, with a bit of foreshadowing and some downtime to get the characters talking. We'll get some plot about two weeks after that. I'll try to keep the RP going at a steady pace, and probably keep a consistent plot movement post once every two weeks. Does that sound good to everyone?

Ay fam, I think I'mma have to back out anyway. The rp looks great and all, but I feel like I'd be one cook too many. All bases are covered, I've got nothing to add. Y'all are gonna have to have fun without me.

I promise that I'm capable of writing posts shorter than three pages.

See?

No wait, I'm here to ask a quick question: do all the cities speak different languages, or is it more like dialects/accents (to account for the names and other language influences)? Presumably, they can all understand each other, either way, as (most of) the cities communicate with each other a lot.

Oh... man, that stinks. I was really looking forward to writing with you again, sidekick. If there's a secret reason or somethin' I coulda done better, let me know (its all about me amirite) but otherwise, hope you can join in at a later time, maybe as a guest!

Mhm mhm, we have here the best questioner.
The Sorayan language became the cities' trade language, and it's polite to use it when in mixed company, but the cities do have separate languages and resulting accents. Most grow up bilingual as a result of the dominating Sorayan influence on trade.

No, I'd just be hard-pressed to try to remember everyone in the RP. Too many people = too much to handle for me. On the other hand, I might be interested down the line yeah. I could fill a temporary guest role if you'd have me, at some point.

 

[Killigrew]

Alright, prizzy, alright... until we meet again, adieu

And with that, my boi Coin be up in here on this crew

 

[Killigrew]

UPDATE: Alright, and with that we've got our seventh person on the list stepping up to the plate! Everybody welcome Dom!

As for the rest of you, jump on in, the water's fine! Right now the ship is sailing, but surely you can come up with an opportunity to introduce your character, show who they are and what they want. If you need any help brainstorming, I'd love to talk it out with ya.

I'll be adding a description of the ship to the OOC Lore when the opportunity arises, but in essence its speed is determined by a magitech engine that harnesses a battery of solar energy to propel it forward, while a balloon keeps it afloat. We've been warned not to go too fast -- although in theory the ship can fly perpetually (thanks to complex runic commands), it's not like they've had a chance to really test it. A number of narrow catwalks carve into the sides of the ship, but most of the ship is covered. The wheel is positioned at the bow and the lookout tower extends out the hull, designed to view the ground below. It can retract into the ship in case of landing.

So my characters finally done.

 

[Killigrew]

Soviet Panda I shall be talkin' with you shortly I really love the fun you had with your cs, amazin' fun to read it.

Blemmigan
digging the way you write, boi. It's a good read everytime. That last one pulled a chuckle out of me, too! Rena's biting remark x) exquisite

DatDerpyCookie

ahhhh this is gonna be fun it's already funnnn

 

[Mad Prince of Sanity]

You know I HAVE to say, with all you old fuddy-duddies here one would think this was 2014 or something. Well, if there is indeed a gathering of us "old-timers" going on in this here RP, count me in.

 

[Killigrew]

Alright, this'll be a quick check to see if I'm jumping the gun here.

I can put in a final post now to summarize the end of the day and time skip us to a new plotline now that we've introduced our characters! Is everyone ok with that or did you have something else you'd like to add to the scene? I absolutely am all for any ideas you have!! Ain't no collaborative story without no collaboration

 

[Mad Prince of Sanity]

*Stares in through the window of 'to-be-approved'* Yeah no that... that's fine I'll just... be here waiting I guess.

Pff, don't worry! The next scene may be a good place to introduce your character anyway haha

 

[sharramon]

I was working on my own post too. I don't think I'll be part of the mess hall scene, but I'll try to have my post up in a few hours at least.

 

[Killigrew]

Sounds great!

 

[Soviet Panda]

Also me. You sent me some pm's and I'm still unsure as to whether I've been accepted or not.

Alright, I'm finished now. It was really only few sentences, lol

Coolz to end the scene.

 

[sharramon]

I've put in some world building elements into my post. I've tried to take care of the energy problem with an in-world material with really really high specific heat. Since that was bothering me a little lol. I hope this is okay?

Edit: sorry if my writing is a bit sloppy. I'm used to posting and then editing bits of my writing as I read it. But I forgot that this site marks my edits as spam if I do that more than twice ;(
