Members Meeting the Characters

You're not bossy at all, Pangea.

Do any of you have some idea what to do about Sierra and Rinkus, once me, Ruby and Chronicler find the cure?

The Chronicler · **Reply #481 on:** September 09, 2010, 10:15:14 AM

You're doing great so far, Pangaea. I doubt I could run this RP as well as you could (based on my experience).

I would like to add on to the current plans, just so you're aware. My character, Ruby, Chomper, and Claw (Myrkin) plan to leave first thing in the morning to go to Ruby's old home to find a cure for Claw. Before they leave, however, they hear about the plans for a rescue party to save Pangaea. At first, they refuse to join, stating that Claw is in just as much danger. But when the person who found out about Pangaea's capture tells them where they went, Ruby realizes that it's close to where she used to live. Realizing that they could solve two big problems in one day, the group of four decides to join the rescue party.

How does that idea sound?

Pangaea · **Reply #482 on:** September 10, 2010, 12:56:06 AM

Thanks, both of you.

Sure, Chronicler, that'll work.

LBTFan13 · **Reply #483 on:** September 10, 2010, 01:23:55 AM

Pangea, I know how stressful it can be to run an RP, especially to fill in for somebody who has left. But believe me, you are doing a fine job so far and you are not coming off as bossy or whatnot. It's only natural to want to try and get things organized after just starting on something, even though this RP has been going on for a while now.

My advice is to take it one step at a time, and you'll be fine

Pangaea · **Reply #484 on:** September 10, 2010, 02:12:04 AM

Thanks, Rob.

(It's okay if I call you that, right?)

I forgot to say before: I'm not sure what you could do with Sierra and Rinkus, Myrkin. Did you have a reason in mind for why they are in the valley and trying to spy on the residents? One possibility that comes to mind is that they could meet up with Ozzy and Strut at some point, and try to convince them to help them with whatever they have planned.

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #485 on:** September 13, 2010, 01:04:08 AM

Ducky's mother is at her nesting area, and my character and Ducky are headed that way. So far, I plan on Cera sneaking off to find me and Ducky and tell us about this rescue mission

.

Myrkin · **Reply #486 on:** September 13, 2010, 06:11:11 AM

Well... I planned for them to be in the Valley to rest before they go looking for something, which could turn out to be responsible for teleporting humans into LBT universe. What do you think of this?

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #487 on:** September 13, 2010, 05:28:12 PM

Your idea is intriguing Myrkin, although if I remember correctly, it is never really explained what exactly brought the humans into the LBT world. But I'll give the idea a bit more thought and we'll see if it'll work.

The Chronicler · **Reply #488 on:** September 13, 2010, 09:20:10 PM

I had my own idea on how everyone finds out about how the humans were brought to the LBT universe. We all know that the two Rainbowfaces are likely aliens (or something else, based on my theory that you all probably know about by now). Anyway, maybe a day or two after after our current plans, my character suspects them of hiding something, so he follows them like some crazy conspiracy theorist. Eventually, he sees them vanish in that pillar of light we remember from the end of LBT7, so he jumps into it before it disappears, sending him somewhere with them. After that, well, I haven't put much thought into it yet.

Pangaea · **Reply #489 on:** September 14, 2010, 08:05:08 AM

Frankly I’m more comfortable with keeping it mysterious as to how our characters were brought to the LBT world. (I figure we all probably have our own ideas at this point, anyway.) This RP is “In The Land Before Time”, after all; personally, I’d rather we keep it there.

No one has yet volunteered to pick up Mr. Threehorn or Tria, and I’d really prefer to not go much further with the RP until someone does. I could take them if absolutely no one else wants to, but I don’t think I’d be able to handle them very well (I’ll be playing nine characters, for one thing, not counting my dinosona).

By the way, I’ve been a real slacker as far as posting in the RP lately.

Just wanted to apologize for that.

Since Rat_lady7 still hasn’t responded to the PM I sent her, I’ll try to write a post today in which her character leaves the valley. Then I’ll try to at least get my character on the road to meeting Ozzy and Strut and getting the capture-and-rescue event underway.

Kor · **Reply #490 on:** September 14, 2010, 04:03:04 PM

I could take one or both of them, if no one else wants to rp as them. I do have 4 characters I'm doing.

I guess it's nighttime there & most of the kids are going to bed?

Pangaea · **Reply #491 on:** September 15, 2010, 10:04:07 PM

Are you sure about that, Kor? I was expecting that Mr. Threehorn would play a rather large role in the upcoming rescue mission (probably being one of those who leads it), and I recall you mentioning that you’re more comfortable having your characters interact mainly among themselves, rather than doing a lot of interacting with other players’ characters. I wouldn’t want to pressure you into doing something you weren’t comfortable with.

Also, I may have misworded myself before: I think I could play Mr. Threehorn and Tria for the duration of the rescue mission, but I wouldn’t know what to do with them afterwards. If you’d prefer, Kor, I could give them to you once all the action is over, so you wouldn’t have to be at the center of attention so much in the upcoming event. Or someone else could take them.

By the way, it’s not quite nighttime yet, though it’s getting close. The sun should be just about starting to set. (It would probably be at least twilight by the time the rescue party leaves to save my character from Screech, Thud, and Red Claw.)

P.S. Sorry for taking longer than I said I would with posting.

I found out that there was still a possibility I could talk with Rat_lady about what to do with her character, so I made one more attempt to contact her. I’m starting to doubt that she’ll respond though, so I’ll continue to work on that post (which I’m finding incredibly hard

). Sorry again for the continued holdup.

Kor · **Reply #492 on:** September 15, 2010, 11:07:43 PM

You want ot take Mr. Threehorn? Ok. That's ok with me.

I don't mind interacting with others, it's just that some rp's I find it hard to tell who is where and with who.

Pangaea · **Reply #493 on:** September 17, 2010, 11:06:11 PM

Just wanted to apologize again for taking so blasted long with posting.

After this, I'll try to post in the RP much more frequently, hopefully once a day at minimum, at least until I've reached a point where I'm not holding up everyone else. (You know, I used to not want to participate in RPs because I was afraid of stalling them; I never expected to be stalling an RP that I had been put in charge of.

)

Okay, Kor, I guess I'll take Mr. Threehorn and Tria for the duration of the rescue mission (unless someone else jumps in and says they'd like to take them). After that, I can give them to you if you still want them.

The Chronicler · **Reply #494 on:** September 19, 2010, 07:12:55 PM

Not to bother you, Pangaea, but, in case if you had forgotten, my characters are in a discussion with Petrie's mom, who you are controlling. I can't make another post until you have her say something in response.

Pangaea · **Reply #495 on:** September 20, 2010, 12:25:41 AM

Sorry about that. I wasn't sure what to have Petrie's mom say in response to your last post, so I guess I was hoping that you would post again and speak to her a second time.

(Like I said before, this is why I'm not a very good RPer; I need a lot of prompting.

) Anyway, I've posted a response now.

Please, by all means let me know if you are ever expecting one of my characters to do something and I do not appear to be responding. I don't want to inconvenience anyone.

Belmont2500 · **Reply #496 on:** September 24, 2010, 05:25:53 PM

Don't mind me asking, but what time is it (In the RP)?

Pangaea · **Reply #497 on:** September 26, 2010, 01:24:36 AM

The sun is setting right about now. It'll be dark by the time my character is captured by the fast biters and word gets out about it.

Pangaea · **Reply #498 on:** October 14, 2010, 09:29:15 AM

First off, I want to say that I'm so, so sorry for being such a freakin' slow and unreliable RPer,

and that I feel really bad for keeping all of you waiting so long.

Anyway, things are ready now for those who are interested to gather for the rescue mission. I've just had Mr. Threehorn give an “alarm roar” that the valley dinosaurs typically use in an emergency to summon everyone within earshot to their location. Any GOF members who aren't with a valley resident at the moment could just go to find out what is going on (Mind you, not every character in the RP would need to show up; mainly just those who end up joining the rescue party).

I was thinking that the grownups might bring Chomper along to track down Screech and Thud, but would probably tell the rest of the kids to stay home. The gang could still sneak after them if anyone wanted, though.

LBTFan13 · **Reply #499 on:** October 14, 2010, 11:09:48 AM

Don't worry about it Pangaea

Everybody has things in their lives that bundle up on top of you, so it's understandable.

I was thinking of having myself switch back to my human form for the rescue party, but there was something else I wanted to run by. Would it be possible if I switched my dinosona? I think I'd prefer to become a fast biter over a longneck, and I didn't think about it until now.

What I was actually thinking of was having my character become trapped in a fast biter form and not be able to switch back to human form. Maybe during the fight I get only minorly injured and that causes me to turn into a fast biter, I don't know. Just an idea I had.
