Discussion of "A sudden change of species"

No problems, Vonboy

And yep, that plan sounds good to me!

Nahla · **Reply #201 on:** June 09, 2014, 11:49:01 PM

Sounds good to me.

What is the place? If it was decided,I might of missed it if there is a special location they all meet at.

If not decided maybe that big rocky thing?

Yeah you'll be like

"Nahla,girl what the hell is the big rocky thing you speak of?"

Yeah I'm helpful,but I don't believe it has an official name.

What I mean is that place the gang use in LBT to talk about their parents and where they see the egg stealers?

Just throwing ideas out there *shrug* or maybe just a random clearing or something.

Nahla, girl what the hell is the big rocky thing you speak of? I think we said something about them meeting near those cave thingies where Chomper and Ruby apparently live (since I don't watch the show this might be wrong), but I don't know if we actually agreed on it. Maybe someone'll know what the hell I'm speaking about

I'd be up for the big rocky thing if people prefer that

It's already been discussed that it's a hillock with a large open clearing at the top so they can face each other when they wake up.

It's far enough away from the center of the GV that no adults will see the awakening.

Right, I remember now. Thanks for reminding me. I might have an idea how to include Nahla's suggestion later. The place, as seen in LBT 2, is a great vantage point and sort of allows them to stay hidden so it *might* be a place they would be looking for after regaining their senses

I'll have the next post up in a bit

Ducky123 · **Reply #205 on:** June 23, 2014, 03:36:35 PM

Still waiting for vonboy

Well, guess it's time to tell you my plans for the next scene now that the dream sequence is over. (thanks for reminding rhombus

) The Gang will awake, facing each other. You can probably tell that they will be scared when they wake up at an unknown location, facing a bunch of predators after having dreamed of some

So, my idea is that there's a lot of chaos and confusion until they realise what happened.
Here are some aspects you might want to include into your posts:
1. Some of them change from being quadrupedal to being bipedal so they need to get used to that first
2. They might inspect they own body... let your description skills flourish!

3. They'll be overwhelmed by the smells they can now detect extremely well.
4. They might start to start thinking about what has happened and where this might lead to

Well, I'm gonna do the narrator once vonboy finishes the previous scene. Then I think we should give everybody a chance to have one post of their character awakening until the order doesn't necessarily need to be kept. Though it would be nice if all characters have a similar screen time

bushwacked · **Reply #206 on:** June 23, 2014, 04:01:09 PM

Sounds good

Though I'll probably include other stuff for what Petrie notices when he wakes up, might get a little samey if we all put the same descriptions and observations.

Ducky123 · **Reply #207 on:** June 23, 2014, 06:12:40 PM

Sure, these are only things people can base their post on but they don't have to... it's only a little inspiration, yep, yep, yep

bushwacked · **Reply #208 on:** June 23, 2014, 06:17:13 PM

Oops, I'm dumb - I read it wrong and thought that's what you wanted us to put in the posts

Nahla · **Reply #209 on:** June 23, 2014, 07:38:04 PM

Seems good,I have a pretty good idea of what my post will be come my turn I just hope it somewhat fits with everyone eleses without pretty much copying,

Oh in the dream part,Littlefoot is dead if you were wondering cause I didn't really make that clear,I just didn't know we were meant to write the deaths as well,so I just wrote the killing blow being made.

Why no one explain these things to me...I'm too dumb to realize on my own

But yeah,his dead..as is everyone else..how dramatic xD.

So if vonboy wants to join the sharptooth in eating my character in a dream,he is free to do so xD

rhombus · **Reply #210 on:** June 23, 2014, 07:52:39 PM

I already have an idea of what I will post when it is time for Spike's awakening, but I can change the details if necessary to coincide with the posts of everyone else. The one thing that I am concerned about, however, is that my planned description of Spike's awakening is relatively large for an RP - at around 700 words in length. I figured that that was the necessary length for me to describe what sensations Spike was going through both immediately prior and immediately after opening his eyes for the first time as a fastbiter, but if that would be considered too verbose by everyone else then I suppose I could break it up into 2 posts.

bushwacked · **Reply #211 on:** June 23, 2014, 08:10:12 PM

I'd be okay with it

Mine might be a little lengthy too, but I've done RP posts around that long before and nobody chewed me out for it so I suppose it's alright

rhombus · **Reply #212 on:** June 23, 2014, 08:41:16 PM

^ Thanks for the response.

My followup posts will not be that verbose, but since so much is going to be discovered by the characters in such a short time I guess that it is reasonable if these initial posts are a bit on the long size.

Ducky123 · **Reply #213 on:** July 02, 2014, 12:15:48 PM

Vonboy???

If he doesn't post soon, somebody can fill in.

bushwacked · **Reply #214 on:** July 03, 2014, 07:35:21 AM

If nobody else wants to take him, I guess I could for a bit just to get the story moving again.

Ducky123 · **Reply #215 on:** July 16, 2014, 02:29:03 PM

Guys, why does it always takes the very same people so long to post? Without me steadily reminding you, you probably wouldn't even post at all. Taking a character in a roleplay also means that you have a sort of responsibility to keep checking whose turn it is to post and what is being discussed in the discussion thread (well, there isn't much to discuss for we hardly make progress...). Those players who really take that responsibility serious are the ones suffering from your inactivity because they really want to roleplay, to push forward the plot...

This doesn't mean I'm mad... I'm only a little disappointed.

bushwacked · **Reply #216 on:** July 16, 2014, 07:05:30 PM

Hey guys, had we actually decided what we want to happen once all the characters have woken up? As in, whether we want them to sneak out undetected, or get chased out after they somehow alert the other dinosaurs? I thought of a way Petrie might cause a disturbance and wake the adults which I could put in my next post, but if some of you had other ideas and wanted to be more sneaky about it, I could change up my idea slightly

You want an answer? I don't feel I'm capable of matching the detail of the posts that have just been written. They're all exceptional, but I'm feeling blocked and stymied. Creatively I just don't feel up to the task, but I suppose I could give it my best shot... though someone else feel free to take my transformation post. I'm only holding everyone else up at this point...

Glad you mention it

Well, I thought that the Gang should have some time to figure out what actually happened and (for those having been quadrupedal before) how to walk properly. I do remember Nahla coming up with a good idea... She suggested to have them hide at the place the Gang hid in LBT 2 when they were angry about their parents treating them like babies. I believe they should hide there and THEN one of them can screw up and they're being discovered.

How does this sound?

Okay, that's alright. I, myself, am not always as creative when writing my posts as I would like to... Just try when you feel better in terms of creativity. As long as we're waiting for Nahla, you're not holding us up.
I really don't like to say this but I got to be honest: You can't do worse than vonboy... I'm really sorry von, but your post is too short. Please try to make it at least a paragraph with a few sentences. A one-liner is just too weak in a situation like this

And by saying this, Pterano, it's totally okay if you make a shorter post (you don't have to be as detailed as everyone else). I'd only like you to write at least one paragraph, okay, and you can wait a little longer for your creativity to return? I won't force you of course (hey, I'm just trying to do a good job at leading this RP and I would like the result to be decent at least

) but I would appreciate it.

Sure, that sounds okay, although I'm not so sure that at the moment Petrie would be calm enough to sit down and take the time to try and understand what's happened to him and his friends. I could always break my idea down into a couple of posts to give everyone else enough time to do that
