backstory plotting??? sooo i originally had the idea of clarice posing as a noblewoman's handmaiden, so that she would be able to have access to all kinds of areas, given that her powers work best (read: properly) when she has an actual idea of the places she intends to portal to. BUT since they're meant to be visiting foreigners, i'm dithering on that a little... i also had the idea maybe she could part of some kind of traveling entertainment troupe (throwback to olivia eeey) and be a fortune teller or something?! pretend her portals show ~insights into the person's mind~ as opposed to like. the outside. :U;; but i also think the idea of her having to act like some kind of noble or important lady with a handful of male attendants is hilarious...

IDK IDK I'M OPEN TO THIS i should have done this in the cr meme but oops...

that said i'd love to do some bounties if anyone would like to pair or group up! with regards to the ambush, clarice will be focused on helping the civilians as opposed to helping the guards, and if she actually sees the guards be a little too violent, she might jump in and interfere... not to say she'd be helping the sea clan ladies, either, but basically if anyone's getting violent, she'll be inclined to try and put a stop to it. (which may include your character?? :O) if things get dicey enough, she may resort to using her portals.

I was kinda leaning towards the noble district myself. Jason's used to having to placate people in power and knows a thing or two about status (though Western tradition is probably going to be VERY different, so it might not get him far). Plus being a Negotiator might help get him an "in" or at least help get them around a bit?

[fuchsiative]

FUNNILY ENOUGH clarice would be the worst person to have around nobles, so this could be great for like. terrible laughs. with regards to exploring, she'd stick to the slums (it's familiar, heh) but she knows she'd have to gain access to the harder-to-get places is she wants to be.. at all useful... with her powers... 8|a

[notthatjason]

Jason accidentally selects hard mode on his mission status XD Go figure.

Maybe he could try to be the one to convince her to go into Noble territory...like "please i need a lady friend or no one will talk to me"

But if you're leaning more the performance route that wouldn't necessarily be out of Jason's wheel house either. I mean he can control the air so making things float or something would be a fun trick to perform?

GOD someone babysit these kids... BUT NO THAT'D BE A CUTE IDEA she's currently talking to hayame right now, so maybe she could bring up needing diff kinds of disguises...? if jason is like 'halp' then clarice would be inclined to make sure he doesn't land himself in fantasy japan jail

[notthatjason]

His last babysitter was half-goat...anything else would be an improvement (maybe).

Jail would be a new one...hasn't been in jail yet before.

[fuchsiative]

IT'S NOT FUN, FRIEND don't do it

[notthatjason]

LISTEN. LISTEN.

IT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE WORSE THAN DYING.

And Jason's already done that at least once...nearly twice. No problem. If he can avoid insulting the gods and getting blasted to ashes, he's pretty sure he can avoid insulting some mortals.

[fuchsiative]

HANG ON HE DIED???? puts him in a pocket to protecc him!!!

[rhinostagros]

I'm trying to figure out how to throw Phi at Clarice during all this!! But whatever she does, he could follow her and just be an invisible helper... I'm also open for some sort of bounty too ahhh

[fuchsiative]

I WANT THEM TO MEET PLS (well. "meet") once i figure out her backstory i will toss up a toplevel, i think and we can work something out then? i need... to protecc phi...

which bounty were you looking at tho? c:

[rhinostagros]

YES PLS. And yeah, I think I can more easily figure out something once I see everyone's top levels. WE'LL MAKE IT WORK.

As for bounties, I've been eyeing one of the main ones (except for probably the sake one haha...) or any of the special bounties to level skills.

[fuchsiative]

sneaks phi a lil sip of sake

NO jk

i probably won't get anything up until tomorrow since my brain's shut off for the evening but points to eyes points to you

the bird one might be cute? were you thinking something actiony or chill?

[rhinostagros]

NO SAKE, HE'S A GOOD BOY!!

AND THAT'S OKAY. My brain is dying too, so much is happening...

He miiight be doing the bird one with Jason already, just waiting on confirmation from the player. But I'm fine with either actiony or chill! They could also rescue baby goats..? Or maybe we can also think of another cute custom one but I'll have to give it more thought.

[fuchsiative]

yes, continue to be a good boy...

THINKING MORE ON IT idek if i'll toplevel but if we decide to do a bounty we can always do a separate log... but i need them to meet first HMMM hm

[rhinostagros]

OK WELL I miiiight top-level but I'm also having trouble thinking of prompts right now. Ahhhhghh. Separate log is fine too!!

[fuchsiative]

JK I TOPLEVELED AFTER ALL but idk if any of those will work... lmk...

[moneyman]

i mean i can definitely offer up a male attendant if you haven't had enough of him yet

[fuchsiative]

you mean you dont wanna rp pretend marriages again

[moneyman]

sorry he's still happily fake-married to someone else

for real though i'm down for whatever dumb thing you want

[fuchsiative]

ok first of all: how dare you

second of all I THINK hayame is convincing her to be a fake fortune teller... does vaughn wanna be her uh. helper. guy. 8D;;;

[moneyman]

tee hee!!!

but uh hell yes that sounds hilarious i'm in

[fuchsiative]

points to eyes points to you

[moneyman]

since we both have toplevels do you have a preference on how to do this? i can tag whatever or you can wildcard mine, either is fine with me!

[fuchsiative]

im gonna take a look at toplevels to tag around tomorrow! whoever gets to whoever first? :O alternatively, i can write us a custom starter for fake fortune telling...
