Call me insane but here's another RP idea by yours truly :smile
I haven't thought about an elaborated plot yet, here are the main plot ideas this will be based on...- Ducky's family goes on a journey to a place (name and details I have yet to come up with) where (similar to the Flyers in LBT 12) they have to do a competition as a ceremony of growing up.
- The competition might have to do with swimming (eg. a short race, a longer swim to test endurance) or it might be based on the social skills a Swimmer needs... or those things combined... something like the "Longneck Test", just more elaborated.
- No member of the Gang or any other character we know of will be in this RP besides Ducky, Spike and Ducky's (and Spike's) Mommy. Ducky's siblings will be OC's, obviously.
- The journey will be perilous (maybe Redclaw will stalk them or just a random raptor?)
- This is happening quite a bit after the Tv-series. The little Swimmers will have reached about the size of a human (not to speak of Spike...)
- The number of Ducky's siblings doesn't really matter though we should have 3 at the very least (as for it's the lowest number of them seen throughout the movies)
Anybody interested?
-
I'm in, of course. Will we be able to come up with our own characterization for whichever sibling of Ducky's we're playing as?
-
Interesting. Been a while since I got to rp as Ducky's sister Diver.
-
That was my thought, yes :) If anybody has problems to come up with a character I can be of help :yes I might even offer you one of my Swimmer OC's (never used them so far :))
I guess a character sheet might be a good idea too :)
Name:
Gender:
Physical appearance:
Personality:
Oh, and maybe, if the characters have a speech pattern of some sort like Ducky has, state that in your character sheet.
Guess we don't need more, everything else like relations among the siblings we will develop throughout the RP:
Yeah, you can use that character Kor :)
I'll start with mine, might post two others later.
Name: Lilly
Gender: female
Physical Appearance: Basically, Lilly looks like Ducky but she is coloured yellow-ish green, no special features like scars etc.
Personality: Lilly has many similarities with Ducky. She's sweet, friendly and caring. She likes to play games and can be very enthusiastic. Lilly doesn't like arguing at all so she mostly avoids quarrels whenever there are some. Lilly is weak compared to her siblings, she used to be ill a lot and she isn't as good in swimming as the others - specially swimming longer distances is a huge problem. She isn't as whiny as Ducky sometimes is but she is fairly sophisticated and more mature then her sister. Lilly speaks very formal english, no accent, does say "heh?" a lot when asking.
-
So, who else is going to join? Still waiting for you sheets :)
I don't think it makes much sense to start discussing now. The plot might depends a little on how many siblings there will be in the end...
-
Name: Diver
Gender: female
Physical appearance: a twin of Ducky, looks exactly like her. When you see a shot of multiple swimmers who look exactly like Ducky, one of them may be Diver.
Personality: Has a decently strong will. Likes to dive deep and hold her breath at times to see if she can extend how long she can hold her breath. Not easily scared, though knows to hide from sharpteeth & fast biters.
Not sure if you'd like the background history I came up for her. I did some looking around and found the original background of her that I did way back when.
-
Sure, she's alright, Kor :)
-
Sounds very interesting. I'm in.
-
yeah, but how would spike fit into the plot, also it seems too OOC for the rest of the gang not to follow.
-
Glad you're in, jansenov :)
Well, Spike is a part of the Swimmer family so it would be odd if they leave him behind. He could help protect his siblings (he has quite grown in the meanwhile, so have the Swimmers) and cheer for them in their competitions. And yeah, the Gang won't have a role to play. They'll just get along without Ducky & Spike for a while.
-
^Unless the rest of the Gang crash the party at some point. But that's up to you.
Here's my character.
Name: Ruddy
Gender: Male
Physical appearance: By this point he's slightly bigger than Ducky, with a somewhat bulkier snout, of green color with a reddish tinge to his mouth, nostrils and eyelids.
Personality: Ruddy is very communicative, even somewhat annoying, with people he knows, but can also become self-absorbed at times, avoiding contact. He is very observant, and tends to devote much thought to minor things which hardly anyone else in his family notices or finds interesting. He sometimes thinks of new games, but abandons them quickly as Ducky doesn't take much time to learn to beat him. He is somewhat jealous at the ease his eldest sister makes friends and "conquers" their parents, but also likes to be in her company, as she is often the most open to his ideas. He tends to become fully immersed in his idea and goes too far even for Ducky's tastes, however, resulting in being called both very smart and very stupid by Ducky, Lily and his mother at times, after his adventure went awry. He does not hang out with the Gang because of a nasty and very foolish incident with Cera, which she has eventually forgiven him, but the atmosphere between the two is still rather chilly. Mr. Threehorn considers him a daydreamer and a good-for-nothing. Though he's even more childish than Ducky in a way, in serious situations he can be very calm and almost recklesly brave, appearing as cold and even slightly crazy in such situations. He's very weak to a girl's tears.
-
^Also, he's physically stronger than Ducky, but not as agile.
-
Good sheet :) He's going to be interesting, as will all characters, I guess.
Well, here are two more siblings of Ducky I'm using in a (yet unpublished) fanfiction of mine. I'm not sure if I will use them in this RP as well but I thought they might help others to find inspiration (and I wouldn't mind if I'm not the one who controls them ;))
*
Name: Lamby
Gender: Female
Physical appearance: Lamby is coloured red-dish. She's normal-sized, very beautiful and attractive in Swimmer-terms and she has yelloe eyes with long eyelashes.
Personality: Lamby is the self-confident, talkative and naughty one among the Swimmers. Fear, she usually doesn't feel and she'd always prefer go the more adventurous way if given the chance to choose. Lamby is as cheerful as Ducky but other than Ducky she doesn't get upset easily. Her naughty, self-confident character does get her into arguments sometimes but she usually realises her mistakes quickly. She's rather childish but can act mature if she needs to.
Lamby talks in a very informal english.
*
Name: Edmont
Gender: Male
Physical appearance: Edmont's back is black, his middle parts are dark-green and his belly is green too, just brighter. He's neither strong nor weak, and a little taller than the average Great Valley Swimmer. His eyes are blue like Ducky's.
Personality: Edmont, often called "Ed", is calm, friendly, caring and understanding. He's shrewd and quite wise for his young age. He is especially well-versed in interpreting signs of weather changes.
He isn't as cheerful as most of his family is and can be pretty pensive at times. He is undoubtly fairly mature compared to his siblings for which he is especially teased by Lamby.
Edmont generally doesn't mind playing games or going on "little adventures"
His way of speech doesn't have any special phrases. He only tends to use komplex sentences and words a usual boy would quite use.
*
By the way, you can also take Spike, Mama Swimmer and Ducky :) Just reminding you...
-
Glad you're in, jansenov :)
Well, Spike is a part of the Swimmer family so it would be odd if they leave him behind. He could help protect his siblings (he has quite grown in the meanwhile, so have the Swimmers) and cheer for them in their competitions. And yeah, the Gang won't have a role to play. They'll just get along without Ducky & Spike for a while.
At the risk of sounding obsessive, couldn't The gang be there to cheer on ducky too?
-
The plot should focus on the swimmers, not on the gang.
-
I might be interested in taking Edmont. :)
-
You can have him :yes
I'll work on the plot tomorrow if possible... My ideas are in my first post so feel free to suggest changes etc. :)
-
It would be good if our swimmer society and culture has at least some basis in science.
http://www.app.pan.pl/archive/published/app44/app44-237.pdf (http://www.app.pan.pl/archive/published/app44/app44-237.pdf)
This article explains the differences in habitat, diet, anatomy (including sexual dimorphism) and behaviour between lambeosaurines and hadrosaurines. What is important here for our roleplay is that hadrosaurines didn't have pronounced sexual dimorphism (males and females looked alike), lived in open habitats where they grazed on a variety of fibrous plants, were gregarious (social) and their males didn't have permanent territories to guard (relative lack of aggresion). This is actually in agreement with LBT to a degree.
http://blogs.egu.eu/palaeoblog/2012/10/05/...to-be-an-equid/ (http://blogs.egu.eu/palaeoblog/2012/10/05/horsedrosaurus-the-dinosaur-that-wanted-to-be-an-equid/)
This article talks about the sophistication of hadrosaurid teeth (they have the most complex structure in all the animal kingdom), and how they likely ate different plants in different stages of their lives. Which means that our swimmer society should pay a lot of attention to food and the meaning it has to swimmers of different ages. It could also mean that it wouldn't be out of place for swimmers to have several maturity rates or stages. As far as science is concerned, we can write about them as quite "cultured" herbivores
-
Hmm... I'm trying to think of a character that would be interesting, believable, and not too out of the ordinary. How about this:
Name: Tooele (two-ill-uh)
Gender: Male
Physical Appearance: Tooele has a creamy-orange shade of scales and blue eyes. He's a bit bigger than Ducky is, and a stouter build.
Personality description: Tooele is a curious, thoughtful young man who's one of the older siblings in his large family. Investigative by nature, he enjoys solving problems and loves to think of possible explanations about things he doesn't understand, even if he can get carried away in his thoughts at times. He's a fairly quiet boy, and can seem a bit too reserved in conversations or meetings... Except when it's about something he's interested in, in which case he can be a tad too enthusiastic. In some regards, he's similar to his elder sister's friend Littlefoot-- however, unlike Littlefoot, who has a strong sense of duty and a desire to put others needs ahead of his own, Tooele is uncomfortable at the idea of making big decisions or handling, and prefers to delegate with others on decisions where responsibilities are shared. He is protective of his siblings, even if he's not always sure what he can say that will help in every situation, and enjoys their company in a quiet way.
One of Tooele's best friends is a flier with an accent that resembles a Baltimore southern accent, which has rubbed off on his own accent.
Edit: After researching the Baltimore accent, I realized the accent I had in mind is lost somewhere in a spectrum of Virginia Tidewater, old Georgia, costal North Carolina, southern appelaciean, and northern Virginia accents. Therefore, I'll just call it a 'mild Dixie' accent and leave it up to your own interpretation what that entails.
-
What type of flyer his friend. One of Ducky's friends is a flyer named Rhyn, who's the same type of flyer the Rhynchus is.
-
By the way, I wouldn't mind playing Spike too, if nobody else wants to.
-
What type of flyer his friend. One of Ducky's friends is a flyer named Rhyn, who's the same type of flyer the Rhynchus is.
Good question. I'd like it not to be the same person or a direct relative as that wouldn't explain how Tooele picked up an accent while no one else who's friends with Rhyn has. Maybe they can be cousins, and Tooele's friend only relatively recently came to the great valley. Is that alright?
-
Do you plan to give his Flyer friend a role to play, Loyfe?
Alright, he's your character, jansenov :)
I think I might play as Mama Swimmer... if nobody else wants to.
-
Sure, I wouldn't mind making his friend a character. Did somebody else want to play him, or should I?
-
Well... actually, I planned this RP to be a "swimmers only" RP, Spike being an exception for obvious reasons. If we take him along, wouldn't it be odd that Petrie is staying behind with the rest of the Gang? If Petrie joins the journey as well, half of the Gang would be part of the RP which is something I'm actually against... So how about this: Tooele meets him during the journey (maybe one of the swimmers saves him from getting caught by some sort of beast...) and befriends with Tooele...
-
To be completely honest, I only ever even mentioned a friend because I saw Silence of the Lambs just before I made the character and thought 'That's a very mild, pleasant sounding southern dialect. I'd love to have a character who talks like that!' For one of Ducky's siblings have an accent completely different from everyone else in the valley would mean he'd have to have been raised somewhere other than the great valley (not doable) developed it completely spontaneously (too unbelievable), or he picked it up from someone else, which I figured would be the most logical explanations. I figured an older, wiser, immigrant character would be the most likely kind of person would probably 'pick up' an accent from, and as to why I why I picked a flier, I just figured it's make sense that a flyer would be more likely to have a dialect simply because it's easier for them to migrate farther distances.
I never intended the flier to be a character :lol So what would be best?
-
Ah, I get'cha. You just mentioned the Flyer for the sake of explaining the accent... Maybe Tooele (what's the name's origin btw? Sounds interesting) could just mention his Flyer friend when one of the Swimmers Ducky's family will meet at the competition asks why his accent is different...
-
That sounds great.
And I'm actually really glad you asked about the name came from. I think I mentioned before that I was writing a baseball fanfic, and that meant dishing out a minimum of nine names over 26 or so different teams, and unfortunately, easy stock names like 'John' or 'Adam' don't seem to come up in Land Before Time stories. So, I've been trying to take inspiration from a lot of sources: the names of Jazz musicians, plants, a lot of one syllable words, and the like, but what I've found most effective so far are place names. A lot of US towns and areas have the kind of phonetic flavor that seems to fit well in Land Before Time names, and this is especially true with where I live.
The Salt Lake City mega region (or as we call it locally, the Wasatch Front) is quietly becoming one of the most rapidly expanding urban areas in the United States, but many of the place names go back to older terms that appealed to Mormon pioneers. Cities like Ogden, Lehi, Jordan, Magna, Kearns, Draper, Logan, Sandy (where I live), Layton, and Orem could all pass for quirky names. Tooele is a town that's on the fringe of what would be considered the Wasatch region, located behind the western side of the Salt Lake Valley, behind the gargantuan Bingham canyon copper mine (which is the largest open pit mine on the planet and easily visible from space). It's anode rate sized town, most notable for having a chemical weapon disposal plant, but it's growing. It's a name that sticks out even to Utahns, and that's where I picked up the name. I was going to use it as a character name in my baseball fic, but I thought it's be better to use it here. Sorry if that's more of an explanation than you wanted. :smile
-
Totally fine! :DD I personally am pretty bad at picking names... I'm glad that you have a strategy that works :)
And 2500th post...
-
What type of flyer his friend. One of Ducky's friends is a flyer named Rhyn, who's the same type of flyer the Rhynchus is.
Good question. I'd like it not to be the same person or a direct relative as that wouldn't explain how Tooele picked up an accent while no one else who's friends with Rhyn has. Maybe they can be cousins, and Tooele's friend only relatively recently came to the great valley. Is that alright?
Sure, that can fit. They can be cousins if you want. Up to you how long he's been in the Great Valley.
-
After reviewing Edmont again, I actually share a lot of his characteristics. :) This'll help me a great deal in playing him I think. :yes
-
Ruddy, Edmont and Tooele share a number of characteristics, but I'm not worried that they'll turn out to be alike during the play. The player's have quirks of their own that will translate into the characters.
-
Name: Sonar
Gender: Male
Physical appearance: Sonar has a dark green, almost black color to him. His beak is fairly pointed, and Ducky's Normal size as he is the runt.
Personality: Sonar hatched blind and developed a tough Personality. Sonar is smart mouthed, sarcastic and fearless. Despite both his small size for his age, and that he's blind, Sonar doesn't let it stop him from having fun. With Chomper's help, he learned to rely on his 'sniffer'. In addition, his sense of hearing is better, to the point he can use it to 'see' by making clicking sounds to get an Idea on his surroundings.
Sonar is known to be blunt, telling it how it is, even to his Mom and siblings. Despite this, he takes offense to anyone being mean to them and treatens graphic bodily harm to said dinosaur.
-
Sorry for not posting this earlier...
It seems as if everybody has picked their characters
Narrator: Ducky123
Ducky: Rocky
Spike: jansenov
Mama Swimmer: Ducky123
Lilly: Ducky123
Diver: Kor
Ruddy: jansenov
Lamby: Ducky123
Edmont: Pterano
Tooele: LoyfeCycleProtector
Sonar: Rocky
Mara: Cancerian Tiger
Anybody wants to take Lamby? If not, I will take her :) I will NOT play Ducky though :p Anybody else may.
If there are people who still think about joining this RP, they should announce it within the next few days as it will be very difficult to add a sibling in the mid of the RP :p
*
Now here's the (very rough) synopsis of the plot.
Evening in the Great Valley, Mama Swimmer tells her sons and daughters that they will have to go on a journey to the "Swimmer Swamps", a region far south-east of the Great Valley. The reason behind this is some sort of "Day of the Swimmers". At the Swamps, they will have to pass several competitions that will test abilities a grown-up Swimmer has to have. Examples may be swimming competitions (both single and team competitions), competitions that'll test their strength (in case they have to defend themselves) and competitions that'll test their social skills needed in adulthood.
The RP will start during the Cold Time (I think that's a good idea since it'd be pretty hot at the Swimmer Swamps during summertime. Besides, I think, if we imagine this place to have a somewhat subtropic climate, it'd be the dry season over there. During the rain season, I imagine such a place to be very muddy and flooded...).
How does this sound? suggesions are welcomed :yes
There will be many dangers of course. Redclaw (or just any random Sharptooth) might be stalking and attacking them, they might get into a severe snowstorm or other severe weather, they might have to cross fast waters, high mountains, violent volcanos - you get the point...
-
I approve of the plot idea! It sounds good to me. :yes One thing I was envisioning would be that if we're heading into a subtropic climate, we get attacked by sharpteeth on something akin to the North Yungas Road (http://assets.atlasobscura.com/media/BAhbCVsHOgZmSSI1dXBsb2Fkcy9wbGFjZV9pbWFnZXMvMjAzMzcyNDk3NF82ZDA2NTQxZWM2XzAuanBnBjoGRVRbCDoGcDoKdGh1bWJJIgo2MDB4PgY7BlRbBzsHOgpzdHJpcFsJOwc6DGNvbnZlcnRJIhAtcXVhbGl0eSA5MQY7BlQw/2033724974_6d06541ec6_0.jpg) in Bolivia. It's a very narrow road with a sheer drop on one side that travels from the Bolivian highlands down to the the rainforest areas. That would certainly make for a bit of a thrilling and dangerous chase, wouldn't it? :angel
-
:wow Certainly, it would!
I hope I'll still remember that in a few months. If not, I hope you remember to remember me :p
-
I'll remember, for sure. :yes Glad you like it! :DD
-
I would like the Swimmer Swamps to be more like the Okavango delta. During the summer this region is basically a desert, but during the winter when the Okavango river floods the area it creates a lush landscape teeming with life, with herds of herbivores reaching spectacular numbers.
This seasonal contrast would provide the rationale behind huge seasonal gatherings, and would also ensure that the area has no indigenous populations of swimmers that might resist incursions of other herds.
Unless one might specifically want to have well-established herds in a climatically more stable area, that won't look kindly on the "silly" maturation rituals of their migrating neighbors (who by the way eat their food!) and would present a whole host of problems to the wannabe adults.
-
Also, what about Ducky? Draw straws so we see who gets her? :p
-
Fair enough :) I was sitting there earlier and thought about which way around will be the better choice... I guess you have convinced me. If everybody else doesn't mind your idea, we'll go with your version.
As for Ducky... anybody may take her (preferably somebody who has only one character yet)
-
Those are some great ideas there. As for who gets Ducky, is she the favorite of certain people here? That could be one who gets her.
-
Say, will Spike be taking the test too?
-
Glad you ask...
He won't. Guido didn't take the Flyer test since he ain't a Flyer. Correspondingly, Spike can't take the Swimmer test since he ain't a Swimmer. He'll cheer for his brothers and sisters though. :)
I know somebody who might want to join (still waiting for a response) so I'll wait until the weekend. We still need Ducky... :smile Expect this to be started around the weekend then :)
-
how about we have Dil and Icky as the baddies?
-
Good idea, Rocky :)
I think it would be best to have them rather late in the story when they reach moist areas (another option would be having the Swimmers follow a river). The first carnivore following them should be Redclaw + his minions. Dil and Icky may pose a big threat (well, Dil in particular since the Swimmers are already quite a bit bigger than Icky :p) so we'll use them very likely :)
-
glad to help, also can I play as ducky?
-
Maybe Icky could be flying around looking for a good spot for prey for him and Dill. He may see the swimmers & then go and tell Dill about what he saw. Just thought of that as maybe a reason why they show up.
-
I'm in on this one.
If Rocky wants to play Ducky, that's fine. I have an OC sister of hers, and I should have her rap sheet posted soon :yes.
-
I'd gladly take Ichy as well since he's one of my faves from the series. :smile
-
I'll take dil.
-
Okay, you can have Ducky and Dil, Rocky.
Maybe Icky could be flying around looking for a good spot for prey for him and Dill. He may see the swimmers & then go and tell Dill about what he saw. Just thought of that as maybe a reason why they show up.
Yeah, that should work well. Good suggestion.
Welcome to the family, Anna :) I'll get this RP started as soon as you have your sheet ready.
You can have him, Pterano. Though I'm not sure how much time will pass until he'll be introduced.
-
also we'll have to come up with how they got back together since they went their separate ways in journey through the mists.
-
Name: Mara
Gender: Female
Physical appearance: Similar to Ducky's; only Mara's shades of green are deeper in appearance and she has greenish-blue eyes. She has a scar on her right elbow and a few smaller scars on her knees from fall she's taken while playing hard (she's a tomboy). Mara is somewhat bigger than Ducky, and physically stronger in appearance.
Personality: Mara is caring like Ducky, but she is more headstrong. She is "one of the boys" and prefers whatever her brothers are doing over the "sissy stuff" her sisters seem to like. I guess you can say she is more like Cera, but perhaps not as brash. Mara is seemingly fearless, and would consider it a great accomplishment to kick Redclaw's butt. She could be described as 13 going on 30, and often uses "language" (dino language like "rockhead" and "son of a tarpit", but some other GOF-friendly words may apply).
-
Love the name :lol Mara...
Alright, I'll get it started now :)
I think I have an idea about how they could meet again, Rocky... Icky spots the swimmers and stalks them, from up high, he spots Dil who's nearby out of pure coincidence. They decide to give it another try and go after the swimmers.
-
Lets get it on!!!!!!!!!
-
I will wait until Loyfe has posted (he's probably somewhat busied atm which I can't blame anybody for) :) Any conversations among the siblings may be continued, yep, yep, yep.
EDIT: I will wait to play Mama Swimmer again until all conversations are over because I don't like to interrupt them :)
Also, I think we should start the journey asap. Means that the swimmers will leave the valley the next morning :)
-
Hey everyone. In the future, you may see one of my posts that look like this:
[RESERVED]
My computer is currently misbehaving, so I have to write by phone. I find this takes so much time for the long posts that I like to write that I fear someone else will post by the time I'm done. The [RESERVED] just means I'm currently writing a post, and it'll come up as an edit, replacing the [RESERVED]. Sorry for the future inconvenience.
-
I've written a nice chunk of material myself, but I'm starting to coordinate with other members for a more coherent story so it may take a while before I post. I will have the next post in two or three hours most likely, but I posted this just so those of you I haven't contacted yet know what'll be going on in the future.
-
The 2nd paragraph, though long, gives a summary of Diver's backstory. Hope it's not to odd or breaking of the rp. I don't think that it is.
-
^The backround story looks good to me. However, you should keep in mind the implications of Diver's actions. If Diver can hear what Tooele said, even though Tooele took extra precautions not to be heard, then Ruddy and Edmont will hear what Diver said, and Ruddy will have his suspicions confirmed.
This is likely to upset both Ruddy and Edmont, but Ruddy even more so. Since he tends to take things too far when he is convinced of the correctness of his ideas, he could go and confront his mother. The problem with what Ruddy is doing is that what he knows by this point is by no means the whole truth.
Ruddy, Edmont, Tooele and Lamby may be attentative and even quite smart, but they are children and still cannot possibly understand the true intentions of their mother, and their interpretations of her actions are fairly superficial.
Though I do not know what David has exactly in mind, I'm pretty sure it's not true that Ms. Swimmer wants to go to permanently live with another herd, or that she would risk her children's lives for something you can live without. She is far more experienced than her children and has given the issue way more thought than they could. There is a lush place out there in the winter than can be provide more than enough food for all swimmers. It is quite possible that this is the same place where Ms. Swimmer and her husband came from, since the Mysterious Beyond has been greening from greater rainfall in the last few years, andthat news have arrived jsut recently. Ms. Swimmer has talked with other swimmers and has likely made detailed plans on who will travel, which way they will they travel, and how they will come back, and likely has a fallback plan or two should things go wrong at some point.
When Ruddy confronts her with what he knows, she is likely to be offended and angry. From her perspective Ruddy's sketch of the situation would appear cartoonish and possibly even malevolent, if Ruddy could really think such bad things about his mother (he doesn't really, but he's not acting completely sane at this point).
So, unless some more level-headed sibling stops Ruddy (Edmont could do it, but he would be angry at his mother too at this point), Ruddy will likely hurt his mother's feelings and complicate the trip for everyone.
-
Ah, ok. I did a slight change, removing the bit aobut going to live with a swimmer only herd. Not sure if that is enough or not, or if you want me to further edit my post. Removing that sentence of dialog made it so it made no sense for Diver to have thoughts what she'd do since she has no reason to run away, thus removing a summary of her back story.
-
The post is alright the way it is now, Kor :) I haven't seen the original though, but that's not important to know-
Though I do not know what David has exactly in mind, I'm pretty sure it's not true that Ms. Swimmer wants to go to permanently live with another herd, or that she would risk her children's lives for something you can live without.
This theory is a nice one, albeit it is not what I had in mind. The siblings are worried and curious so coming up with theories about their mother's unusual behavior is exactly what I had in mind :)
I'm happy that you really put some effort into your posts. It's much easier to find something to reply to in a post of.. say three paragraphs than in one with two sentences... However, it sometimes just can't be helped :smile Some situations rather require a shorter response, such as Kor's recent post :)
BTW: It's your turn to post, Rocky :yes
-
I'm basically waiting for Loyfe to post but he seems to be really busied... If you want to continue the story rather than wait until he posts, please let me know. I'm fine either way :)
-
Whatever you want to do, Ducky. You're the GM. :) If you feel it's necessary to wait, then wait. :)
-
Nobody gets left behind. I'll wait.
-
I have messaged Loyfe again. If he doesn't make an appearance soon, I'm afraid we need to move on without him for a while. If we're waiting any longer we'll lose interest and ideas possibly...
-
bump!
Some people still haven't posted and some show inactivity lately which worries me... Filling in for OC's is always tricky...
-
If this doesn't work you could try pm's maybe. Not sure which most prefer.
-
Yeah I could pm them.
