Yo, this here quest be good shit! Vote ya scurvy punks!


Also, speaking of voting, I vote for being from Gaules.

 

[High Moon]

The Sublime State it is, all shall hail the sick man!

 

[Teh Frixz]

I wouldn't mind a change of pace, Gaules for me too

 

[Jaye]

I like the sound of Unterland, please.


(Thanks for the ref. Silvertongued!)

 

[Dusky]

hOLY SHIT PIRATES AND TEMPESTUOUS OCEANS YES


[1] Albion. The salt is in your veins.

 

[Grey]

So, that's two for Gaules so far.  Gonna give everyone a short time to see if there's any more unanimous result, but so far Gaules has it.

 

[Dusky]

I'm a rebel like that.

Oh we're voting? I thought we were all coming from different places. Um...I vote Albion? Or Unterland? Or...oh dear.


Um, um, um, I withdraw my vote and pass.

 

[Dusky]

In a Quest, the story is written by the QM (Grey in this instance) and the readers regularly vote on where the story will go.

 

[Wixard]

oooh

 

[Grey]

Gaules it is. 

 

[Grey]

1. ...born into a noble Silverblood lineage, you remember your fine education and finer attire high above the ignorant masses.


2. ...the back-alleys and secluded balconies where you spilled blood for the masters as an Academy Ward, for the promise of sorcerous instruction.


3. ...the narrow streets and sprawling hinterlands, where Dullbloods like you toiled as farmers or served as watchmen.


4. ...the sewers and abandoned buildings, the terror and the silence of places a Pauper might be welcome.

 

[Wixard]

In this story I would play as a 4 so...


2!

 

[Dusky]

[4] And some places where you were perhaps not so welcome - but some things are unavoidable.

 

[Scattered Ambitions]

[2] Magic!

 

[Jaye]

2!


Because I love the idea of literal cut-throat business.

 

[Teh Frixz]

Looks like the 2s have it for me 

 

[Tedronai]

So this is a quest, not a traditional RP? Shame.

 

[Silvertongued]

Quests are pretty badass my friend.


And fuck it, 2 as well. We can be a conniving stabby fucker.

 

[Grey]

So this is a quest, not a traditional RP? Shame.

There will be a typical RP version in time.  Looks like there's enough enthusiasm here to justify it.


For the rest of you - Academy Ward it is.

 

[Grey]

1. Climb onto the barge


2. Swim away from the barge


3. Write in

 

[Wixard]

wait wait how did we get into the water

 

[Teh Frixz]

Doesn't matter, we need out of the water and have to dry off. Let's climb into the barge and see what we can take off the bodies on it. 


Also, I've never done a quest RP before, I feel like it's an interesting concept. All of our RPN selves arguing and controlling a body. A la inside out/John Malcovich 

 

[Wixard]

We're an academy ward. We don't loot corpses. Probably should get on the barge tho, so that we can get out of the water.
