Wanderlust - Out Of Character

[NessieAlways]

Glad you all are here!


I'll give it several more hours before I declare the rest of the people gone.


I think we'll be able to continue with the few of you that are still here =)

Just so you know! ^^

That's right bitch


Nah I checked already it's Eheu


I probably wont recruit anymore people just cus it takes too long and I want this to start already

(Writing this on extremely unreliable hotel wifi & uncomfortable mobile keyboard. Apologies for more concise wording.)


Still here, still really excited about this rp & about being a part of it. However, won't be able to write anything substantial until I return from my trip in Eastern Europe in ten more days (approx. the 22nd.)


I hope that the fact that my chara is one of the later ones to join up could buy me some justification in-character. Though, if you folks consider the delay too much of a hassle & would have to exclude me from this, please know that there will be no hard feelings at all.


Either way, best of luck & have a nice time! See you all soon.

Don't worry Hun!


I'll wait for you to come back from your trip!


I hope you're having as much fun as I did!




Okay so now I believe most of us are here so let's pick up where we left off...


Did everyone decide how their characters are going to be introduced to the story?

 

[NessieAlways]

Ehem...I'm going to take the silence as in everyone is ready to begin...


I'll start writing a connecting post so that old characters and new characters have place to meet up before going to the next activity!


If anyone has any suggestions of ideas let me know!


If not I'll have the post up by this weekend!

 

[eheu]

@NessieAlways : Thanks for being so lenient. I'll be sure to catch up the best I can once I return.


As for the treatment of this delay in character: would it be just the old group and the new one meeting up, or are the new members to be introduced one by one? Either way - may I propose having someone receive a call from Daisy saying that she got lost looking for the meetup point & ended up far enough away that she decided to roll with it for the time being & join later on (or something along those lines - whatever would work best for you)? Would that work well?


EDIT: considering that I'll be back in around a week, I'll probably miss a couple of posting cycles at most. In that case the aforementioned arrangement might not be necessary. Just a mention in my prospective intro post of Daisy being late to the gathering may buy enough wiggle time for things to still go smoothly ic.


Again, whatever you think would work best.


Incidentally, Nessie: I recall that I havent been able to post the relationship proposals before you took leave & have therefore not received a confirmation on relationships with Jerylin. Would you mind filling me in on that bit? Please and thank you.


Once again, very sorry for the inconvenience.

Well it would be easier for the entire new group to meet up with the old group, but it might not be as realistic especially if we play the "Hey what a coincidence" card.


However if we just say the new group met them up later because of "X" reason, then there should be a meeting point somewhere.


As for Daisy joining them later, that's perfectly fine!


I'll take a look at the past conversation pages and see if I can come up with a relationship chart for the characters that are here =)

 

[MyUsualTriumph]

I think @Sasil 's character and mine are already intending to join up together

 

[Sasil]

@SimplyMusicality Yes, if I remember correctly ( correct me if I am wrong it has been a bit lol ) Rowen stayed behind to get a tattoo finished up and Kieran was staying behind for some reason...I can't remember. I am really sorry ; n; But I remember that they were staying behind together and finding there way together.

 

[eheu]

@NessieAlways thanks for the info. Also excitedly anticipating the relationship chart.


If all of the new cast were invited to join the trip & all just couldn't go for various reasons, wouldn't it be quite reasonable if they all just got together at some point & figured out that they could go together as a second patch, contacted the old group, and made arrangements to meet up at, say, the next stop on their trip - thereby eliminating the need for a coincidence card while keeping the neat meetup point? A suggestion.

  Name	Ship
  Raphael	Jerylin saw some people taking advantage of Raphael and stood up for him. Since then she's adopted a motherly attitude towards him and feels like it's her duty to defend him.
  Cage	Cage is a food person so Jerylin bakes for him. Plus, he's Jaxson's roommate. One day he went with Jaxson to one of his many shopping trips. While Jaxson shopped, Cage and Jerylin began to chat. Cage complained about being hungry, so Jerylin fed him explaining that she used to bake when she was little. Cage, being a food junkie, made her bake for him the next time he walked into the store. Since then Jerylin is Cage's personal baker.
  Kieran
  Leah	Both with an energetic nature, Jerylin and Piper have found a nice friendship. Though the difference between city girl and country girl are clearly present the two have more in common than most people realize.
  Daisy	Jerylin and Daisy have a lot in common which provides for a strong friendship. The two girls met outside of Jerylin's computer store and since then have been bonding over coffee beans and old tunes. Jerylin and Daisy have several inside jokes regarding electronics and technology. Over all they have a good mix of similar traits to nurture a close friendship.
  Rowen	Drawn to Rowen's artistic side, Jerylin has been the number one fan of this aspiring artist. Their friendship began over their love of Batman as Jerylin over saw Rowen's doodle book. Being outgoing and social, Jerylin and Rowen kept meeting up for lunch dates once a week to share their love for the dark knight.

  Name	Ship
  Jerylin	Raphael is Jerlyin’s child. xD
  Cage	They were roommates in freshmen year but Raphael became to roommate from hell to Cage so the two aren’t all that thrilled with one another.
  Kieran	Kieran and Raphael enjoy each other's quiet company. Rapha does like his quiet time and would love to be near someone he knew wouldn’t get all loud and crazy.
  Leah	Pip’s nature would probably throw Rapha off a lot and he wouldn’t really know what to say around her. In a way it’d be like she was bullying him without knowing she is. Rapha also would be the one who wouldn’t mind explaining to her things she doesn’t understand when it revolves around the internet. She would be the type of person to go up and talk to Raph
  Daisy	Daisy, Daisy, Daisy… I love Daisy. I love her a lot. I would like for her and Rapha to be on good terms if that’s okay with you. I feel like they could be something of close friends like Rapha is to Charlie because of her optimism. It would certainly keep Rapha in high spirits and I feel like she could bring him out of his shell at times. I can also see those two just having sessions together where they’d just go back and forth, spitting out random facts at one another just to do it. As for a history I know for a fact that Rapha would totally have a crush on her at some point. If they do end up being friends I feel like his crush would be beforehand and possibly the reason they became such good friends in the first place. She might have found out and confronted him about it and the rest of it is history. I’m not sure if he’d continue to have the crush or not in the rp but that would just have to play out. But I def want them to be friends.
  Rowen	I am biased toward Rowen because she literally has the name of my school and for some reason that excites the hell out of me. I love her character and I think her Rapha would be friends if not acquaintances. He would appreciate her artwork and whatnot and they’d probably be the ones that are polite to one another when they see the other. It’s like Ruby Rose, I can’t really make up a relationship between these two but I do know it probably wouldn’t be one that was negative.

  Jerylin	Cage is a food person so Jerylin bakes for him. Jaxson bribed Cage to join him on one of his shopping trips. While Jaxson shopped, Cage and Jerylin began to chat. Cage, being Cage, complained about being hungry, so Jerylin fed him and mentioned that she used to bake when she was little. Cage, being a food junkie, got really excited and made her bake for him. Since then Jerylin is Cage's personal baker.
  Raphael	They were roommates their freshman year of college and to Cage’s dismay, Raphael proved to be a nice guy with horrible sleeping schedule. Raphael would be awake at odd hours and had a lot of loud experiments. Cage blamed Raphael for his insomnia during Freshman year but he feels indifferent towards the guy as long as they never have to share the same room again.
  Kieran
  Leah	No Response
  Daisy	Daisy is quite the character. LOL I can imagine a fun relationship between them since Cage loves fun and the unexpected and Daisy seems to be the type to bring randomness to the group. Maybe they were partners for a general ed class (this could be anything like choir LOL) and they could be partner for a project like singing a duet. Cage wanted to drop the class because singing in front of class wasn't his idea but Daisy bugged him to stay with it? They could keep in touch afterwards and he invites her to his parties? Lol let me know if you have other ideas.
  Rowen	Rowen is into aquatic life, I was thinking maybe they could meet at the beach or at the pool or something Freshman year? Cage eats quite a bit and I doubt swimming stops him so maybe he could get cramps while playing around and ended up drowning. Maybe he grabbed onto Rowen's leg since she was the closest and pulled her down with him. Maybe as a signal for help or just trying to save himself lol. She could end up saving him, giving him cpr and knowing Cage, he'd probably be pretty embarrassed about it. Apologies ensue with Cage brushing it off by teasing her that she likes him enough to give cpr to a stranger. That, my friend, could be a start of a beautiful friendship. Lemme know if you got more ideas.

  Name	Ship
  Jerylin
  Raphael	Kieran and Raphael enjoy each other's quiet company. Kieran definitely being more intense quiet than awkward quiet.
  Cage
  Leah	I could definitely see her being really close to Kieran! they have a similar grounded outlook, even though it developed in different ways. They're also both generally intense and deep thinking people, and I could definitely see them talking about them. She's probably the closest thing he has to a best friend.
  Daisy	Kieran is definitely under the assumption that Daisy is borderline insane. Though this doesn't mean he dislikes her, just that he can only handle her in small doses. As Kieran is an all-around intense person and a cynic, Daisy can be exhausting. Their initial conversation probably resulted in Kieran giving her a raised eyebrow before continuing on his way, opting not to bother with her. (He's a generally busy guy.) They probably spoke again through mutual friends, and it tends to be how they interact, though Kieran isn't 100% opposed to time spent with her and her alone. (Probably close to 78%.) Though it's possible a closer kinship could develop... We'll have to see how it plays out! And I don't object to his place on her list of pretty people! xD
  Rowen	I love Rowen! Since she's a bit of a goofball, I think she'd bring out the lighter side of Kieran. I think he'd definitely consider her one of his closer friends. I can also see Kieran possibly developing an infatuation with her, or possibly having had one in the past and she shot him down. Something about her art, her tattoos, her smile... She would definitely catch his eye and potentially become his muse. (At least until he moved on, which tends to happen. He's passionate, but endlessly fickle.)

  Name	Ship
  Jerylin	Seeing as Piper acts on the brighter side of life and Jerilyn seems like a happier sort of person. She'd probably be a bit thrown off by her spontaneity but after awhile find it almost endearing. Piper gets along with pretty much most people and therefore finds Jerilyn's friendliness and her ability to charm and chat to be qualities that she would happily be around.
  Raphael	Pip’s nature would probably throw Rapha off a lot and he wouldn’t really know what to say around her. In a way it’d be like she was bullying him without knowing she is. Rapha also would be the one who wouldn’t mind explaining to her things she doesn’t understand when it revolves around the internet. She would be the type of person to go up and talk to Raph
  Cage	Piper is being pulled into Cage's friendly and outgoing nature and would even attempt to be adventurous a bit when around him. She doesn't know much more about food then how to cook what she had been taught on the farm (stews, baked chicken, apple pies, etc) and will probably be a bit uncertain about trying out foods she hasn't heard of or can't pronounce. Still, Cage's nature seems to be a bit infectious and Piper will probably follow a bit along behind until he becomes reckless. Piper's more thoughtful approach has her thinking things through before doing them and she doesn't like taking actual dangerous risks (besides stuff like riding horses).
  Kieran	Piper matches Kieran in being the type to think things through and I can see her consulting with him on plans and ideas that she isn't entirely sure about (say like 'would it be better to try out rock climbing or go swimming for the day, pros and cons of both choices' kind of thing). They'd also be laughing buddies; as caught up as she is with herself she still gets the giggles over silly little things, even poor jokes. She finds the attempt of the joke more funny then anything. I can see them getting along, truly... especially if Kieran's deeper thoughts ever extended towards the true intelligence of animals and plants.
  Daisy	Once Piper finds out that Daisy is the type to take advantage of her ignorance, she'd probably be careful about what she admitted to the girl. Then again, she may not even notice... she'd just take Daisy for her word until something told her otherwise and depending on the thing, she might think Daisy misinformed and explain to her. After the first time she may not go to Daisy with questions about things anymore; believing her to be wrong about possible more things. She would find Daisy interesting for the sake of her being a city girl, though, and may find reasons to talk to her about the differences out of her curiousness on what she missed out on and what Daisy missed out on not being a ranch hand. Overall I have a feeling they would have a love-hate relationship; moments where they get along and moments where Pip will be actively avoiding her.
  Rowen	At first Leah would find Rowen a bit weird, but with time she'll grow used to her little quirks and even join her in being quirky as well. They don't hate each other but they don't seem to be the best of buds. If any kind of comment was thrown at Rowen way she would definitely start to over think it and perhaps just thinking that causes her to not seek Leah's company. They just try to not be alone together.

  Jerylin	It actually wasn’t until I re-read her CS that I realized how much Daisy had in common with her (my fault). Could be a good thing or a bad thing. I imagine that if they met each other it wouldn’t be hard for them to become friends in the first place - good ones even. 80’s music, antiques (probably one iteration in Daisy’s endless cycle of finding new obsessions) , engineering and stuff (Daisy isn’t particularly excited about computer science & engineering, but always nice to have someone to tell the inside jokes to, I guess?) - it won’t be hard to come up with an overlap. If you’re alright with it I’d wish to have them to be on good terms with each other, at least in the beginning even if it doesn’t last. Please let me know what you think about this?
  Raphael	Daisy will most certainly try her best to cheer Raphael up whenever she’s around him. This could have varying effects - it’s an important note that Daisy is much better at maintaining a positive outlook herself than she is at persuading other people to look at things the same way she does. Of all people, though, maybe Raphael will be one of those few who can see her good intentions behind all the questionable actions, and that’s probably a very cherishable thing.
  Cage	I confirm that Daisy’s existence is a pain for anyone around her who would prefer to keep their life nice and predictable. Cage does seem like the sort of person that’ll be first in line to become targets for Daisy to spontaneously befriend, so it won’t be a hard thing to initially establish a relationship. A long-term friendship, though, will probably ultimately depend more on tolerance. (Just a general note. From what I’ve read I think Cage’ll do fine in this regard.) If an ongoing friendship does happen, then Cage will definitely be on the default list of people to bother when she has nothing else to do.
  Kieran	From what I’ve read of his demeanor and personality I imagine him to be the sort of person that Daisy would approach and attempt to befriend upon meeting, if just because of that philosopher(?) aura around him - without question he’s someone Daisy will really like. The question is just whether that relationship is mutual, and frankly I’ll need to request your input on this because I don’t think I know him well enough to speculate.
  Leah	Once Daisy gets hold of the piece of information that Piper’s not very informed about pop culture and the internet, she’ll probably be trying to take every advantage of this to mess with her - things like making a joke or a reference and then providing reasonable but facetious explanations when asked, all for the sake of obfuscation. All the trolling and flame wars and false links and whatnot.
  Rowen	Daisy will find Rowen quite likeable. She’ll probably see herself a bit in the “carefree spirit” part of Rowen’s personality, will find Rowen’s daydreams and fascination over jellyfish very interesting, and will greatly admire her because of her artistic talent (that one thing Daisy has none of). The first thing Daisy learns from Rowen will probably be not to touch her hair. Depending on the day, Daisy may have the decency to ask first, so hopefully that isn’t something that puts them on bad terms right off the beginning.

  Name	Ship
  Jerylin	For the Jerlyin, Rowen friendship. I was trying to think they could perhaps have a fondness for batman. I can see Rowen having a rather geeky side, being an artist and into the animation field of study. Perhaps they share this love? Perhaps Jerlyin was walking the cafeteria and saw Rowen doodling a little picture of Batman and it just stuck. Not sure, your thoughts?
  Raphael	That is actually super cool and totally accidental xD I don’t think they would have a negative relationship either xD I could see Rowen and him getting along rather well. For some reason I can see the two of them meeting the one day she is drawing and tells him to stop walking and to stand still. Random stranger to stranger. If he asked why she would just go on to say ‘you have this look I want to get for this character. Now shush and wait a moment.’ And just go back to her drawing of him for a few more moments. After she would finish she would call him over and show off the picture. Your thoughts?
  Cage	I think Rowen is probably a pretty good swimmer having to help her father with his job probably a lot as a child (or just plain wanting to) so lucky for him grabbing her leg and dragging her down since she would be able to get him to land easily. I think after saving him she would probably scold him a bit for being so reckless but of course stop short when he would accuse her of liking him, and doing all that work just to get a chance to kiss him. She probably just roll her eyes and leave the scene. Maybe after that he could have tried to talk to her more. Maybe at a party? I think you mentioned that before. Oh! Maybe when they see each other she kisses him again and is all like, ‘That is me trying to kiss you in a way I like you. What I did? Strictly saving your ass.’ And from then on they were friends xD I dunno, let me know what you think.
  Kieran	I think Rowen and Kieran would have the ‘my mother passed away’ to share. They probably never talked about it much—to sad. But I can’t see her disliking this boy. Probably really enjoys hi music and has full hope he will make it far in the path he has chosen. What do you think?
  Leah	At first Leah would find Rowen a bit weird, but with time she'll grow used to her little quirks and even join her in being quirky as well. They don't hate each other but they don't seem to be the best of buds. If any kind of comment was thrown at Rowen way she would definitely start to over think it and perhaps just thinking that causes her to not seek Leah's company. They just try to not be alone together.
  Daisy	Anywho, I agree. I think the two could get along rather well. If she touched her hair without asking she may get a lashing--but if she asked. Well, shemay make an exception. After all, they did ask right? Unless when they first met and she did it without asking then yeah...Definet angry Rowen. I don't think it would cause them to much grief though maybe for a bit until they start talking or something.

 

[JujuBee]

All looks good to me!

 

[eheu]

I'm home temporarily (yay stable internet and comfortable keyboard) but am leaving again tomorrow morning, won't be permanently back until three-four more days later. I'm doing my best to catch up with all the new info so that I can jump right back in by then.


That list was incredibly helpful. Also, everything looks good on my end. Thanks @NessieAlways .

 

[NessieAlways]

I have half a post down, wasn't quite able to finish this weekend since I was out of town, but I'll have it up by tonight!


If you still have no idea how your character is coming into the story please figure something out!


As of now the old group is meeting up with Rowen and Kieran. Don't know if anyone else is joining them or you each have your entrances planned already

 

[NessieAlways]

Oh also...


I wrote it in and forgot to ask...


@FirePolaris @JujuBee


Since I haven't hear back from Mittens or Bear, I was going to end the scene we're out right now and send their characters off to the next location and have our characters meet up Kieran and Rowen. Is it okay if I write that Jerylin dragged Cage with her cus jealousy of now wanting him to go with Felice and Raphael tagging along cus awkwardness of being alone with Felice and Charlie? If not I'll just leave it open as if Jerylin went by herself and then your characters can follow

Write Raphael however you want. You certainly have my permission.

Sounds good Nessie! I'll just follow up with whatever Jer decides to do.

 

[NessieAlways]

Posted!


I wasn't able to post last night since I was waiting for Po to answer, but I got to it this morning!


If there's anything that I need or you want me to change let me know!

 

[MyUsualTriumph]

Hey @Sasil , if you wanna post first, go for it! I get the sense that Rowen would kind of drag Kieran along anyway xD

Hey!


So I saw you liked the last post I made...does that mean you're back?!


Or will you be lurking for the time being?

Edited: Oh but it seems as though you already have a set plan already in play. I don't want to bother that. Perhaps lurking will be better for me. @NessieAlways

Of course I'll have you!!





And don't worry about that...


It's just the people who are still here going to pick up the new characters.


(Where you here for that or shall I fill in?)


I'll make Jax fit right in again =)
