commoner's district

[pummelling]

Kung Jin's an ex-thief and trusts people of lower status as sources more, so he will be inclined to take to the commoner's district, both searching around and speaking to either the children or the old merchant woman. ICly he'd be more inclined to taking ex-ALASTAIR members with him, but OOCly i love conflict please bully him into dragging you along lmfao

hit me up here or on smithsyndicate if you'd like to plot anything else out!

[fuchsiative]

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.

[fuchsiative]

oh oh... clarice would be of the same mind... SHE'S GOOD WITH CHILDREN ish?!

[ofobedience]

Gio's prooobably gonna go with noblewoman's aid/assistant in terms of his back story, so I'd really like to check out any of the noble district threads if anyone wants to group up! Particularly the guards or guy on his own, maybe!

ALSO in terms of the ambush he will of course try to help the guards and Giovanni can be a bit trigger happy so I would love for one of his teammates to help rein him in a bit, convince him to capture not kill!

[justbeingknife]

I'd also be interested in exploring the commoner's district! Majima likes kids and merchants have a finger on the pulse of the populace :|b.

As for a reason to come with, uh... idk less chance of him barging in somewhere and blowing his cover if he's with veterans?

noble's district

[cachemoney]

Fiona is obviously going to dress herself ALL FANCY AND SHIT and will be approaching the young man. What's up, buddy? It's okay, you can talk to strange women.....

She would like some girls and at least one man to come with her, just so the dude will be more at ease.

Hit me up here or through PM/Discord (theresa#5038) if you want to plot more!

[predomination]

/slides in here Urahara prefers hanging out with the commoners more than he does anyone. he can only pretend to be a bumbling manservant helping out his ladyfriends for so long, y'know.

[notthatjason]

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?

[healstaffs]

heyyyyy wanna take lissa with you, fiona, she's young and cute and technically a princess (even if she doesn't act like one)

they can pretend they're sisters or something and lure people in. even though they look nothing alike.

flowerlands

[abortz]

Bortz will be most inclined to head away from the more populated areas and check out the Flowerlands. They'd be good for helping deal with that ogre and generally searching the area, but they'd probably be better off with some assistance when it comes to actually talking to the huntress!

FLOWERLANDS

[forcevisions]

YO REY is all about that "young huntress who stalks a hulking ogre and will refuse to speak until her prey has been taken care of." Who's gonna come fight an ogre with her. bc seriously it won't take her long to get sick of the Effort involved in trying to my fair lady her entire life for the mountain ppl

[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

[fuchsiative]

srsly someone hold these newbies' hands 8C;;

[cachemoney]

fiona barely looks like her real sister either, it's Fine

But yes!!!! Let's do this, it'll be cute. What should they ask? Maybe like... are he and his wife planning on leaving or something, why is he so spooked? That ambush was scary, guy, what's the haps

Re: FLOWERLANDS

[refashioned]

LET'S FIGHT AN OGRE

[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?

[dbag]

i'm thinking either something in the noble district, trying to schmooze some guards orrr (not so) stealthily eavesdrop on their conversations — in which case he will need a lady friend to accompany him! — or something in the flowerlands, maybe AGGRESSIVELY TRYING TO BEFRIEND A HERMIT, depending on which i get interest in!!!

useless noodle lfg

Re: FLOWERLANDS

[tolight]

LET'S HELLA FIGHT AN OGRE

[hedonistic]

raises hand for ogre fight

[tirejacked]

ngl I'm into this one

ETA: WHOOPS you got a lot of takers while I was scrolling, I'm cool with grabbing you somewhere else if need be so you dont get overloaded

[fuchsiative]

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

[forcevisions]

HELL YEAH i'm assuming this is for keith

[healstaffs]

HMMMM those sound like good questions to me! what's the haps for real.....

also bc lissa sucks, she will probably want to ask the married (??) lady couple about their lives - how they met, if there are a lot of married lady couples around, also do they want kids


bc she's a nosy busybody, sorry fiona

[tenthousandmiles]

ginko would be interested in speaking with the old merchant woman! also he's obviously not ex-ALASTAIR but he's stubborn and would probably just...follow along anyway??? if that works dkjflkasjf lmao

[rhinostagros]

Laphicet will follow and help with the fighting. also the non-spiritual sense types will be able to see his magic flying around too
