This forum is meant to be a secure place to store the ongoing rp sessions of this character for storytellers to access if they need. I highly encourage you to read this if you are a storyteller. It was posted for your records. If you are a player who is confident that he or she can read on without using this information to metagame, go ahead, I can’t really stop you, though I don’t really see the fun of knowing information ooc when you can’t really do anything with it ic. However, if you are prone to metagaming then stop right there. I do not give you metagamers permission to read this. Hey, I mean it! Stop reading this right now! If you just read that sentence that means you are still reading. Stop reading, you metagamer! You’re still reading, aren’t you? Darn, I didn’t think this all the way through. Note: This information is told ooc. This is the journal of the player, not the character Dorian Thorn. Character History Summary: Viscount Dorian Charles Thorn is the forty-year-old son of Count Dorian Reginald Thorn and a published Gothic horror novelist (who writes under the pen name of Damien Gray). He has returned to England after traveling abroad in Romania, where he became enamored with a vampire named Radu. After being sired by Radu, Dorian developed hellhound black eyes in the process, which make it almost impossible for him to hide his supernatural affliction from humans. Having no need for a vampiric acolyte who can't hide his true species, Radu abandoned Dorian, who decided to return home to England. For full Character Creation information, contact Dorian Thorn in Second Life. Day 1 (Nov. 18, 2011 ooc) Dorian's Arrival Upon arrival, Dorian was shocked to find that England is a much different place than how he left it. His father has died and his family's estate has fallen into ruin, and he has no idea what became of the family's fortune, leaving him to rely solely on the earnings of his publications. He has been unable to find any family or friends and slowly begins to lose hope. In addition, supernatural creatures now roam openly throughout London, leaving Dorian beside himself with how unfamiliar his home has become. On his first night returned, he accidentally walks into a hospital being quarantined to prevent the spread of a strange supernatural sickness. No one will tell him what is happening and he feels further isolated. Then, he befriends Dr. Muircastle, the doctor's wife, and an automaton named Rosabelle. The doctor, in a bout of sadness and guilt, reveals to Dorian that he fed his wife fairy's blood in order to save her from a disease she caught from Pestilence, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Dorian feels deep sympathy and affection for the doctor and his wife for being the first people to make him feel welcome in this drastically altered London. They inform him of their home address (I've forgotten it now) and he expresses his desire to see them again and tell them more about himself. On the way to find lodgings, he came across a man who introduces himself as Mr. McMullian (I can't remember his first name), who was wearing a hospital gown and was apparently involved in the quarantine incident. The Thorn Legacy http://larps.net/lc/topic/the-thorn-legacy#post-8361 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 15:02:06 +0000 DorianThorn2 Resident DorianThorn2 Resident 8361@http://larps.net/lc/ THE TWINS' BIRTH Count Dorian Reginald Thorn paced back and forth outside the bedroom door, his wife Angelina’s vocalized labor pains reaching him in the hallway. The businessman downstairs waited patiently but Count Thorn could sense this man’s impatience growing. Perhaps man was not the appropriate word for the person downstairs but that was the shape he took. Suddenly, Count Thorn’s wife’s cries ended and Count Thorn pushed his way into the room before the midwife could admit him. The midwife held the first child in her arms, wiping away the blood from the child’s skin with a towel. “It’s a boy,” the midwife explained. Angelina Thorn smiled happily and reached out for the child. “Let me hold him,” she said weakly. The poor exhausted woman didn’t know what her husband had promised the man downstairs. Count Thorn took the child without preamble, ignoring his wife’s request. “Reggie?” Angelina said weakly, referring to her husband by the name only his friends used. “What are you doing?” she demanded as he walked from the room. “Let me see our child!” “Shush, Madam,” the midwife cooed. “Not just yet. We have to deliver the next one.” Twins… Reggie smiled to himself as he took the firstborn downstairs. The being that he had made the pact with stood by the front door in the guise of a silver-haired gentleman, wearing a black business suit and rain cloak. The man regarded Reggie through eyes alight with fire. He looked on the child and smiled approvingly. Reggie stopped a few steps from the stranger. “Thank you,” he whispered, gazing down on his first son as proof of the demon’s gift. “You’ve given me what I wanted.” Thronus nodded and held his arms out. “Now, my payment if you please.” Reggie gazed on the boy, frowning slightly. “He’ll be taken care of, won’t he? You’ll be good to him?” The demon resisted the urge to laugh. “Of course,” he lied. “I shale raise him as if he were my own.” Reggie would tell his wife that the child had died. It would break her heart but the pact had to be honored. Say what they would about Reggie, that he could be a heartless businessman at times, but he always kept his promises and never backed out of a deal. He relinquished his son to the demon, who wrapped the child in his cape. “Hello, Dire,” the demon whispered as he carried the child out the door, his black cloak billowing about him as he faded into the darkness. Dire – 1 a: exciting horror <dire suffering> b: DISMAL, OPPRESSIVE <dire days> 2: warning of disaster <a> 3 a: desperately urgent <dire need> b: EXTREME <dire poverty> Reggie felt a knot form in his throat as he watched the demon carry off his son, thinking on the ominous name the demon had given to the child. He took a steadying breath as he returned upstairs to his wife and remaining child. As he approached the bedroom door, the midwife rushed from the room, Count Thorn’s second son in her arms and a horrified look on her face. Another son, Reggie thought happily. This one will be named for his father - Viscount Dorian Thorn. He’s been forced to give up his first child but this boy would be the first of many other children. Then, Reggie realized there was so much blood on the midwife’s clothes. “Don’t go in there, Milord,” the midwife protested. Reggie knew something was wrong and rushed past the midwife. The woman stayed in the hall, tending to the second twin as she heard Count Thorn’s mournful wail from inside the room…</a> Role Playing Journal - Viscount Dorian Charles Thorn (Part 2) http://larps.net/lc/topic/role-playing-journal-viscount-dorian-charles-thorn-part-2#post-8015 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 09:11:07 +0000 DorianThorn Resident DorianThorn Resident 8015@http://larps.net/lc/ Visit this link to read the first part of my RP Journal: <a href="http://larps.net/lc/topic/role-playing-journal-viscount-dorian-charles-thorn" rel="nofollow">http://larps.net/lc/topic/role-playing-journal-viscount-dorian-charles-thorn</a> Role Playing Journal - The Thorns (Part 3) http://larps.net/lc/topic/role-playing-journal-the-thorns-part-3#post-8737 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 04:35:50 +0000 DorianThorn Resident DorianThorn Resident 8737@http://larps.net/lc/ Visit this link to read the previous part of my RP Journal: <a href="http://larps.net/lc/topic/role-playing-journal-viscount-dorian-charles-thorn-part-2" rel="nofollow">http://larps.net/lc/topic/role-playing-journal-viscount-dorian-charles-thorn-part-2</a> 2012 6 February - You and your Dice http://larps.net/lc/topic/2012-6-february-you-and-your-dice#post-9363 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 03:21:15 +0000 Leigh Huet Leigh Huet 9363@http://larps.net/lc/ [17:11] Leigh Huet: for those that don't know me I have the honor of being one of the Storytellers here in Legacies. As does Kev who is standing behind me... [17:12] Leigh Huet: this class is going to concentrate on how one uses the dice to develop their character [17:14] Leigh Huet: there is an order that you want to be sure you go through when using the dice...1. choose a skill 2. emote your attempt. 3. chose your target and 4 go through the tree to chose your dice...so we are going to talk about each step [17:15] Leigh Huet: the first being skills [17:15] Leigh Huet: <a href="http://larps.net/skills_and_professions.php" rel="nofollow">http://larps.net/skills_and_professions.php</a> [17:15] Leigh Huet: if you go to that link I just gave you that will show you a complete list of our current skills that can be chose [17:16] Leigh Huet: some of the skills build automatically like healing if you use the /9healme or /9healthem commands Stealth if you use the /9hide command also will build automatically [17:16] maplesky Nightfire: anyone can use these? [17:17] Leigh Huet: another set that builds are the buffs depending on which one you have active for fighting NPC's like the knife skill for example [17:17] MiaLaura Avril: Hello there. [17:17] MiaLaura Avril: all. Sorry Leigh for push i was lagged- [17:17] Leigh Huet: yes they are there for you to use based upon your character [17:17] Leigh Huet: no worries mia [17:18] Leigh Huet: how you chose a skill depends on your RP there is no canned answer for these everything here is dependent upon your character and how you RP it [17:18] Leigh Huet: one may use enchantment where another may use persuasion [17:19] Leigh Huet: it depends on how you are using that skill [17:19] Leigh Huet: so to activate and use a skill you type in general /9use enchantment [17:20] Leigh Huet: you would then have your character concentratiing on this skill the ability to enchant someone or something [17:20] Leigh Huet: if you want to stop using a skill just type /9use nothing [17:20] maplesky Nightfire: do you want us to hold questions to the end or... [17:21] Leigh Huet: not necessarily you can ask as we go just let me know [17:21] maplesky Nightfire: these skills...there are specific enchantment skills or enchantment is a skill on it's own? [17:21] maplesky Nightfire: (sorry I have no idea what I'm doing with the dice) [17:21] Leigh Huet: enchantment is a skill all on it's own [17:22] maplesky Nightfire: k [17:22] Leigh Huet: just like demonology, illusion, all are depended upon your character [17:23] Leigh Huet: let me see if I can find another way to say this [17:24] Leigh Huet: everyone in RL have unique talents...some of us can sew, some like crafts, some can take a computer apart and put it back together with no extra parts, some of us are good working on cars [17:24] Leigh Huet: all of these are skills [17:25] Leigh Huet: well the same can be said for every character here...some are great at persusation. but no skill at all at potions [17:25] Leigh Huet: yet another knows herbs and their uses like the back of their hand so would concentrate upon potion making more than using enchantment [17:25] Leigh Huet: does that help? [17:27] skysky nods [17:27] Leigh Huet: this is what I mean by it depends on your RP which skills you would use ok? [17:28] Leigh Huet: there are two ways you learn your skills more...one by using them and another by finding someone to teach you [17:29] Leigh Huet: they must have expert ability or higher and the command is /9teach skillname [17:29] Leigh Huet: any other questions about skills? [17:29] Vincent Warrhol: i have sort of a question but not sure if its meant for combat class [17:30] Leigh Huet: what is your question Vincent [17:32] Vincent Warrhol: well say you're in a RP dice fight with someone - there are the rolls for skills like Enchanting and then Ability rolls like say if i wanted to silence someone i could do an ability roll which would cost Power and then the roll would depend on the persons curse shield if it hit - or there is trying an enchantment roll to silence them and that wouldnt be affected by their curse shield - is there a preferred way to dice 'fight' i guess ? [17:32] Vincent Warrhol: should those two different types of rolls be combined in the same encounter [17:33] Leigh Huet: actually that is where I was going next. one should always try their abilites first and as a hint as something can be put on it can also be taken off..smirks [17:33] Leigh Huet: I would like everyone to go to their character sheet for me please [17:33] Leigh Huet: to get there click on the hud itself [17:33] Leigh Huet: choose character [17:34] Leigh Huet: then chose mylarps [17:34] Leigh Huet: load the webpage [17:34] Leigh Huet: let me know please when all of you get there [17:34] MiaLaura Avril: i did [17:34] Gloriana Maertens: I'm there [17:34] Jaxa FiulJaxa Fiul taps his foot from his comp. [17:35] Spatterdash: Done. [17:35] Vincent Warrhol: me too [17:35] Leigh Huet: select details under the icon for your character this will take you to the details page [17:36] Leigh Huet: this is where you will see your stats and a line of words on the left hand side [17:36] Leigh Huet: is everyone there? [17:36] Leigh Huet: sky, Ilse? [17:36] MiaLaura Avril: am [17:36] Jaxa Fiul: I'm waiting for my comp lol [17:37] maplesky Nightfire: where it starts with mailbox? [17:37] Leigh Huet: yes [17:37] maplesky Nightfire: k there [17:37] Jaxa Fiul: I'm there! [17:38] Dallas Aura: there :3 [17:38] Leigh Huet: while we are waiting I want to stress to all of you dice are not just for combat, I call it conflict RP...dice and abilities such as I am going to show you are also for your everyday RP...any place there is a chance that you might fail or succeed [17:39] Leigh Huet: ok now select for me the word abilities [17:39] Leigh Huet: just click on it [17:39] Leigh Huet: it should say Arcanum list of Abilities [17:40] Leigh Huet: is everyone there? [17:40] Jaxa Fiul: Yesh [17:40] maplesky Nightfire: can I ask...isn't it easy to become totally dependant on the dice instead of rping a scene out? that's what I don't understand. [17:41] Leigh Huet: well the dice is how you develop your character it isn't a dependent thing you state your attempt no matter what it is like I know one RP's as a dress maker she sits in the cafe working on some of the small items and does dice rolls to see how her dress is going [17:41] Leigh Huet: the idea of them is just because you say it doesn't make it so...if does give a true sence of you do not know what will happen [17:42] Leigh Huet: just because you reach for your keys in RL doesn't mean you always grab them right? [17:42] Leigh Huet: I have dropped my keys many a time then hit my head when I went to bend over and pick them up.....laughs [17:43] Leigh Huet: I believe they call that a critical fail in dice [17:43] Leigh Huet: this does not mean however you need to roll everytime you go to take a step either [17:43] Jaxa Fiul: I've tried walking into my room and bumped into the door from the top of my steps [17:44] Leigh Huet: exactly and this is what the dice give you that element of a miss you get in RL [17:44] Spatterdash: If I can chip in.. My alt uses rolls at most stages of his work... and seems to get a great many crit fails (no prizes for guessing who...) I think the challenge then is to RP how it happens, and cuts down on the and-in-one-bound-they-were-free type for RP ... [17:45] Leigh Huet: yep...I do the same when I do things especially if I am affecting another player even my partner Nicolie [17:45] Leigh Huet: so lets talk about these abilities [17:45] Leigh Huet: the list you see is the ones you have available to you at this time [17:46] Leigh Huet: everytime you level you do gain more abilities [17:46] Leigh Huet: also the more you use these your reach gets longer and how much they can affect another builds as well [17:47] Leigh Huet: now we do not go necessarily by the name of the ability but by the definition of what it does [17:48] Leigh Huet: it is up to you and your imagination in how you would use these abilities in your RP [17:48] Leigh Huet: for instance....hide [17:48] Leigh Huet: how many ways may one hide? [17:48] Jaxa Fiul: Behind their hands! [17:48] Jaxa Fiul: For one, lol [17:48] Vincent Warrhol: last night i hid in someone shadow using a nexology roll [17:49] Leigh Huet: why not just rp doing that and type /9hide [17:49] Vincent Warrhol: because it allows for a chance to fail and variety is the spice of life [17:49] Leigh Huet: so does the ability [17:49] Leigh Huet: and it builds up your stealth [17:49] Vincent Warrhol: nexology is master over shadows so i thought it was more appropriate [17:50] Leigh Huet: and by building up the stealth when they use sense you would be more dificult to find [17:50] Vincent Warrhol: isnt using sense in that instance kind off metagaming though if you someone is hidden why would you try and do a sense roll out of the blue [17:51] Leigh Huet: I did not say out of the blue [17:51] Leigh Huet: let me give you an example [17:51] Leigh Huet: a player used the hide with me. until they did something that my character would notice I never RPd them being their [17:51] Leigh Huet: then they RPd something that my character would pick up on [17:52] Vincent Warrhol: i was emoting plenty of ways to give myself away like visible cues like eyes, sounds and temperature [17:52] Vincent Warrhol: so the extra defense on the hide isnt even entering in to my thinking [17:52] Leigh Huet: so she tried to extend her senses....that let her know who was around but not exatly the person [17:53] Leigh Huet: I am trying to show you here how there are many ways to develop your character and if you are not using the abilities you have cut what you can develop by half [17:53] Vincent Warrhol: well the thing is the abilities dont really work because people always run around with a curse shield on [17:53] Leigh Huet: then I used a discovery to locate them specifically but not the where. I still had to RP that so 3 steps for me [17:53] Leigh Huet: you can take them off [17:54] Vincent Warrhol: true [17:54] Leigh Huet: just like it can be put on it can be taken off [17:54] Leigh Huet: in this case it is playing smart like playing a game of chess [17:54] Vincent Warrhol: i had this discussion with marcus too i dont see it like chess because then its like im trying to beat the other person [17:55] Vincent Warrhol: i see it more as working together to tell a story but its your class so im gonna be quiet, hehe [17:55] Leigh Huet: it is stratrigic moves when and where and how. no matter the circumstances [17:55] Leigh Huet: we are [17:56] Leigh Huet: in the end when you sign out you should look back at your time of play and go wow that was a great story tonight..or damn that was intence...or wow I have never laughed so hard [17:56] Leigh Huet: how you get to that is by using abilites, the dice all of it is a tool for developing your character [17:57] Leigh Huet: does that make more sense? [17:57] Vincent Warrhol: yeah its just tough when people get competitive sometimes but i think dice helps a great deal in that way to determine the outcome so i agree there [17:57] Leigh Huet: trust me I do not use them just for conflict...I use the ALL the time [17:57] Leigh Huet: laughs [17:58] Leigh Huet: ok so I have shown you the abilites...lets talk about how we chose a dice roll if everyone is ready to move on [17:59] Jaxa Fiul: I'm ready lol [17:59] Leigh Huet: ok first there is a quick access to your dice. that is the blue or purplish crystal on your hud it is a 12 sided Rp die [18:00] Leigh Huet: <a href="http://larps.net/lc/topic/dice-roll-details" rel="nofollow">http://larps.net/lc/topic/dice-roll-details</a> [18:00] Leigh Huet: I am going to go over how you use the dice based on the information located there in our players manual [18:00] maplesky Nightfire: oh this is useful [18:01] Leigh Huet: so we have chosen a skill and typed out our attempt now based on that attempt we are going to chose the dice...the first level is your focus...what are you affecting. a target, yourself, or the environment [18:02] Leigh Huet: so for this lets say we are affecting ourselves..so chose self for me [18:02] Leigh Huet: the next choice is your method...how are you affecting your target, yourself. or the environment [18:03] Leigh Huet: are you affecting physically, mentally, or magically....the last is anything that is supernatural no a normal human way... [18:03] Leigh Huet: like you can hypnotise someone by normal means using a watch but if you can do it supernaturally like say with your eyes or a scent then you would chose magical [18:04] Leigh Huet: make sense? [18:04] Gloriana Maertens: nodnod [18:04] Leigh Huet: make sense may? I want to be sure I don't lose you and go too fast [18:04] SpatterdashSpatterdash nods [18:05] Spatterdash: Can IK ask ... My Characters (as I play them,)( have no magical bent whatsoever .. but then I was told athat all characters are magical, just some don't know it (IC), or don't use it ... [18:05] Leigh Huet: actually spatterdash that is entirely your choice [18:05] Dallas "Wildcat" SwaggerDallas "Wildcat" Swagger misses in performing a mental assist on themselves. [18:06] Leigh Huet: if you never use the magical that is your choice because it is your character [18:06] Drayke FierDrayke Fier focuses on their practiced skill of Evocation, successfully performs a supernatural assist on themselves. [18:06] Leigh Huet: I mean you can use healthem just by handing them some asprin [18:06] maplesky Nightfire: how do you determine whether to use physical mental or magical? [18:06] Dallas "Wildcat" SwaggerDallas "Wildcat" Swagger successfully increases their melee damage. [18:06] Dallas Aura: (( ack sorry [18:06] Spatterdash: And in the likely event of me losing a patient on teh table (stop that giggling Glori [18:07] Leigh Huet: you are gonna hate this answer may....it is totally dependent upon the RP [18:07] GloriGlori clapsher handover her mouth [18:07] Spatterdash: Would I be able to use some sort of ressurection on them, and pass it of as elementary CPR / faulty electronics / XYZ? [18:07] Leigh Huet: I don't see why not [18:08] SpatterdashSpatterdash smiles .. "Thanks .. I just rememberd I read that sufficiently advanced science and advanced magic are indistinguishable ... get out clause, and good news for my patients..." [18:08] Drayke FierDrayke Fier successfully armors themself. [18:08] Gloriana Maertens: you've been amusing me with the mundane-ization of Glori's magical healing ,anyway, Spatter. :D [18:09] Leigh Huet: ok so lets say we are just trying to stand up...in this case it would be physical...if your trying to calm yourself it would be mental [18:09] Leigh Huet: make sense may? [18:10] Dallas "Wildcat" SwaggerDallas "Wildcat" Swagger successfully performs a mental discovery of 8% on the environment. [18:10] Leigh Huet: ok so lets chose mental for now [18:10] skysky critically misses in performing a physical discovery on themselves. [18:10] LaRPS Sentinel: System Message: maplesky Nightfire (sky) ((ROLL INFO on themselves.. ROLLED 9 NEEDED 18+ )) [18:11] Leigh Huet: ok now you have a choice of 6 things and I really need you to understand the difference between grapple and presence [18:11] Leigh Huet: grapple is grabbing, gripping, holding in place grabbing hair, grabing an arm [18:12] Leigh Huet: presence is to change postion or place [18:12] Leigh Huet: if your attempt is about change then you chose presense...if it is about them stying in place then it is grapple [18:12] maplesky Nightfire: is there a place where the definition of each skill is defined? [18:12] Leigh Huet: everyone understand? [18:12] maplesky Nightfire: like where you said presence is to change position or place? [18:13] Leigh Huet: I want to move your hand from my arm...presence [18:13] Leigh Huet: I want to move you from one chair to another presence [18:13] Leigh Huet: I want to change a flower to a weed presence [18:13] Leigh Huet: I want to move my self from one place to another presence [18:14] Leigh Huet: it is all about movement or change [18:16] Leigh Huet: discovery is about learning something specific about another...like how bad is their injury, or to obtain a specific scent [18:16] Leigh Huet: this does not mean that you can just RP looking at someone chose discovery and get their race [18:17] Leigh Huet: any questions about these before I do some samples? [18:18] Leigh Huet: yall make me nervous when your so quiet [18:19] Leigh Huet: I have either put you to sleep or totally lost you [18:19] Jaxa FiulJaxa Fiul watches. [18:19] Jaxa Fiul: :D [18:19] Gloriana Maertens: :D [18:19] Leigh Huet: ok so I am going to give you some RP attempts and I would like you to tell me what you think the roll should be [18:19] Leigh Huet: ready? [18:20] Dallas Aura: yep [18:20] closes her eyes feeling for a certain energy in the room she would then attempt to use those energies to remove Drayke's goggles [18:21] Gloriana Maertens: target magic presence [18:21] Leigh Huet: does everyone agree? [18:22] Jaxa Fiul: Yeah [18:22] Jaxa Fiul: But they aren't goggles :D [18:22] Leigh Huet: ok here is another [18:22] Leigh Huet: ok sorry they sorta look like it from this angle [18:23] Jaxa Fiul: Heheh it's all good [18:24] stares at the new shoes her husband got her she eyes the dagger for the heal and shakes her head putting them on her feet.."well this should be interesting" she says before she attempts to stand wearing those shoes with a very sharp object in place of a heal [18:25] Gloriana Maertens: that's tricky. self physical ... and either harm or presence. [18:25] Leigh Huet: what is the actual attempt here [18:25] Dallas Aura: im guessing its to stand up [18:26] Dallas Aura: soo Self/Physical/Presence [18:26] Leigh Huet: correct to stand [18:26] Leigh Huet: correct dallas [18:26] Leigh Huet: ready for another? [18:27] Jaxa Fiul: Yep [18:27] walked into the room when she breathed she was assaulted with the worst smell she could feel herself gag and attempt to not lose the contents in her tummy [18:27] Spatterdash: self/mental/influence? [18:28] Leigh Huet: that is a good one is there another choice? [18:28] Vincent Warrhol: what about self/physical/grapple [18:28] Gloriana Maertens: nodnod [18:28] Vincent Warrhol: like a sort of struggle with your stomach [18:28] Leigh Huet: correct to keep what is there [18:28] Leigh Huet: both are correct but I would say the second is more correct if that makes sense [18:28] Spatterdash: Hmm.. I'd have thoguh that would be you trying to physcially keep the vom from coming up, not easy without throttling yourself :/ [18:29] Jaxa Fiul: Well, you could push again your stomach to try to attempt to prevent yourself from doing it, but thats not what she'd written [18:29] Leigh Huet: but this also shows the flexability with the rolls as well [18:29] Leigh Huet: you have to pay attention to the details [18:29] Gloriana Maertens: ..Sppaterdash having some experience in these matters. :) [18:30] Leigh Huet: ok let me try another on you [18:30] SpatterdashSpatterdash grins.. You jsut can't forget that juggling lesson, can you...." [18:30] Jaxa FiulJaxa Fiul chortles. [18:30] Dallas Aura: quick question [18:31] was feeling playful she looked to each in the room and would attempt to call the shadows to her having them lift everyone in the room [18:31] Leigh Huet: yes dallas? [18:31] Dallas Aura: you may have already covered this but is there any real difference in probability ? [18:31] Dallas Aura: example [18:31] Jaxa Fiul: Environment/supernatural/presence [18:32] Leigh Huet: that would be one way but I have another that is a little more fun remember those abilties we talked about tonight? [18:32] Dallas Aura: yes [18:32] Leigh Huet: there is this one called levitateall [18:32] Lady Leigh LuvLady Leigh Luv performs Tether of God on the area. [18:32] Dallas Aura: O_O [18:32] Jaxa Fiul: Lol [18:33] Vincent Warrhol: how much power does that cost [18:33] Gloriana Maertens: wheee! [18:33] SpatterdashSpatterdash makes mental note to book Leigh for the Circus as stanby :D [18:33] Leigh Huet: look it up because it is different based on your character [18:33] Vincent Warrhol: oh [18:33] Leigh Huet: so is your reach [18:33] Leigh Huet: it is different based on your character [18:34] Vincent Warrhol: hey someone told me that when they bite me as a vampire they get more hunger relief than other times [18:34] Vincent Warrhol: what is a vampire bite rolled against [18:35] Drayke FierDrayke Fier performs Tether of God on Lady Leigh Luv. [18:35] Vincent Warrhol: does it matter which race they bite or which level [18:35] Leigh Huet: umm darlin I am not incharacter that is the only reason you didn't lift her [18:35] Leigh Huet: actually it does matter who they bite race and level [18:35] Jaxa Fiul: Bah! lol [18:35] Vincent Warrhol: nodnod [18:35] Leigh Huet: also by how much they do it [18:35] Leigh Huet: you also have to be close enough to get that bite off [18:36] Leigh Huet: as far as the dice go for each tree there is a target number for you and a target number for them for a resistance factor [18:37] Leigh Huet: so it is your target number - resistance factor = outcome [18:38] Leigh Huet: this is why we say if they get bare success or higher to honor the roll [18:38] Leigh Huet: their attempt DID happen [18:38] Leigh Huet: you cannot ignore their attempt [18:38] Leigh Huet: we call it honor the roll [18:39] Leigh Huet: just like you would want your roll honored and respected so would they...smiles [18:39] Leigh Huet: so are you ready to talk about outcomes? [18:39] Vincent Warrhol: im not sure i follow you on the honor the roll thing and bare success or higher [18:40] Vincent Warrhol: are you just saying if they dont miss or crit fail then you should go along with their emote [18:42] Leigh Huet: yes because the dice already factored in your resistance. they did get their attempt [18:42] Leigh Huet: to do otherwise disrespects them as a player [18:42] Vincent Warrhol: right, im with you [18:42] Leigh Huet: how much you accept depends on the outcome let me show you an example [18:43] Leigh Huet: here is the scenario [18:43] Leigh Huet: Scenario: Joe winds up to hit Bob square over the head with a bottle. [18:44] Leigh Huet: let me first give you the definitions of the outcomes [18:44] Leigh Huet: Stellar Success - Almost perfect, better than expected. Success - A normal success. Bare Success - It was 50/50, this is borderline success. Miss - Was unable to hit the target, Could be out of range, out of power.... Critical Miss - Missed the target and possibility of self damage (gun backfired). [18:44] Leigh Huet: so based on the scenario I just gave you and the outcomes you will see this is an example of what could be the reaction [18:45] Leigh Huet: - Stellar Success : Joe smashes the bottle square over Bob's head with such force that it drops Bob. [18:45] Leigh Huet: - Success : Joe hits the bottle square over Bob's head, causing damage. [18:45] Leigh Huet: - Barely Successful : Joe hits the bottle on Bob's head but does not shatter, instead it bounces back. [18:46] Leigh Huet: - Miss : Joe swings the bottle but whizzes past Bob's head. [18:46] Leigh Huet: - Critical Miss : Joe swings the bottle but whizzes past Bob's head, smashing it instead on the beam behind him and getting glass in his hands. [18:46] Vincent Warrhol: see i was confused about this idea because i play a ghostly figure sometimes - like sort of a gas or smoke but not -really- there, only on a spiritual level - so if someone performs a Target/Physical/Harm on him and rolls a stellar success.. .to me that made me confused as to how that would even be possible - but in order to RP that out i just need to emote what would make sense - if its a normal punch upon success it would still probably just pass through Vincent .. just as he passes through other people [18:47] Vincent Warrhol: so even if it feels like someone is godmoding its really not [18:48] Leigh Huet: no because your reaction also is dependent upon the character....just because you use holy light on someone does not mean it is going to automatically burn either [18:48] Leigh Huet: so what do you do if that happens....find out why and change tactics? or climb in thier IM box and ask [18:48] Vincent Warrhol: well if the person had an enchanted fist or something of that nature [18:48] Vincent Warrhol: i might even ask in IMs if that was the case before i reacted [18:49] Vincent Warrhol: to make sure magic wasnt involved [18:49] Leigh Huet: if they do not emote it then it didn't happen [18:49] Vincent Warrhol: nod [18:49] Leigh Huet: you can only go by what was RPd [18:49] Leigh Huet: so it is always best to just stay with the RP....stay IC [18:50] Leigh Huet: if I tried to say hit you physically and I know your not physical...well in my book I just waisted effort I would have to figure out a way that WOULD affect your character [18:51] Leigh Huet: keep it IC as much as possible.....if you need to speek OOCly for clarification that is fine I have done it [18:51] Vincent Warrhol: but keeping it IC is also keeping that mystery intact [18:51] Leigh Huet: but I get right back in the game and ignore the IM [18:51] Vincent Warrhol: like you might not know if you can touch him or not and that is part of the fun [18:52] Leigh Huet: correct I call them puzzle pieces because isn't that what RP is? [18:52] Leigh Huet: figuring out the puzzle? [18:52] Vincent Warrhol: yeah and piecing it together with other players [18:53] Leigh Huet: yep [18:53] Leigh Huet: so any other questions? [18:53] Vincent Warrhol: i got all my questions out today , tyvm leigh [18:54] Leigh Huet: vincent may I ask one thing though? [18:54] Jaxa Fiul: Not from me~ [18:54] Vincent Warrhol: yes ? [18:54] Leigh Huet: I know you have your avi hidden it has to do with your RP but...umm I can't see your meter at all [18:55] Vincent Warrhol: -sits up- [18:55] Gloriana Maertens: I saw it. Hm. [18:55] Leigh Huet: that will make this next part a lot easier [18:55] Leigh Huet: I had to cam for it and there were too many invisiprims to find it [18:56] Leigh Huet: I want to thank all of you for your attention and questions and I hope the information that was shared will help you with your day to day RP with the dice [18:56] Leigh Huet: just remember the 4 steps [18:56] Leigh Huet: 1. chose your skill [18:56] Leigh Huet: 2. emote your attempt [18:56] Leigh Huet: 3. chose your target if appropriate [18:56] Leigh Huet: 4. roll the dice The Voice of Your Character http://larps.net/lc/topic/the-voice-of-your-character#post-7531 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 07:42:30 +0000 DorianThorn Resident DorianThorn Resident 7531@http://larps.net/lc/ When your playing Legacies 1891, what voice do you imagine coming out of your character's lips? Do you consider the character an imaginary version of your RL self and hear your own voice? The voice of an actor or actress you really like? Your favorite performer? Or is it a voice you've completely made up in your head? For my character, Viscount Dorian Charles Thorn, I imagine him with the voice of Liam Neeson. Broken Wishes: Sorrow's Creation http://larps.net/lc/topic/broken-wishes-sorrows-creation#post-9328 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 03:43:56 +0000 Goldy Lionheart Goldy Lionheart 9328@http://larps.net/lc/ Kestrel stood before the forge, her heart hammering in her chest. One green eye, one golden red stared at it. In her mind's eye she saw something else entirely, bodies twisting in sheets, a hand in golden curls. Her eyes lower as the faint wishful dream shattered with a pop of a coal on the forge. Her fingers twist together, staring into the heat, unseeing. Someone that was a friend, her mind swam, but nobody she knew fit, instead a face less figure took over her dreams, her bottom lip trembled faintly. Someone that she could love, that she could trust with her heart. A strand of golden hair swept across her face. Someone that would make the world move for her. A heady breath of air was sucked in, and her wings formed behind her, unbeknown, wrapping around herself. Trying to offer her comfort and warmth. She stared into the fire, her eyes swim with tears, the ability to lay her head down on someone else's shoulder. Someone that would understand her, without needing the explanations, or make fun of her. She was the fire, staring into it, wishful dreams in her eyes. It hurt, she was aware of that. "Never.." the words slid from her lips. Like someone was taking all of her dreams and forming them into a small ball and placing them in front of her. A tear rolled down a cheek. She looked away, attempting to hide how she felt, the tear falling to the wooden floor. A soft prayer escaping her lips. A family, people who cared. People surrounding her that understood. Another tear. People who wouldn't reject her, wouldn't hate her for her mouth or her inability to be a certain way. A broken sob escapes her. She remembered Lady Leigh's words last night. The explanation of what a chylder was. She'd understood. That which she wasn't allowed. A family. In the safety of the heat of the forge she let herself vent, resting her head against the warm stone of the front of the forge. Her hopes and dreams brought to the forefront of her mind. She had understood the unspoken message. She had a bond with Saerrn, but she wasn't her chylder. She wasn't allowed. It hurt. She felt her tiny heart breaking. She swallowed back the sob that tried to work it's way out a throat that hurt. She reached up with a calloused hand to rub away the tears as they dripped down her cheeks. Swallowing again and again to fight back the sobs, refusing to let them slip out. She'd understood. They could have. She would have. But they didn't. She wrapped herself in the knowledge, head bowed, attempted to armor her heart. Finally the first words of the night slipped through her lips, and she looked down to see Mister Trouble rubbing his fat self against her leg. "Not good enough for them." the words soft, miserable. She sank to the floor in front of the forge, wrapping her arms around the horrendously fat cat. He smelled like the bathtub, and she puzzled about it for long moments. Mister Trouble, who accepted her as she was. Who never asked for anything but the foot of her bed and his fish and blood. She allowed herself to curl against him, her small form shaking. "Nobody wants me Mister Trouble." the sound watery with her misery. She picked up the cat and headed home, the wings draping around her as she walks. She buried herself in his fur as she walked, going up the stairs and through the other, and then down the pathway to her home. Charity. Bile rose in the back of her throat for long moments, and she rushed into the house, past the doorway and Mister Goudy. She sniffles softly, and rushes to her room, piling up the cushions once more, and taking Mister Trouble into the makeshift bedfort. There she curls up around the fatest cat who was, finally letting tears fall. Mister Trouble curls up against her, purring. Trying to comfort her. The tears soak into his fur as the fat pudge of a cat with wings sought to rub his head against her chin. "Nobody." the words slid out, burrowed into her heart with all her doubts, fears and pain. "Just Nobody.." as she slips into troubled sleep once more.

Request for a Nemesis http://larps.net/lc/topic/request-for-a-nemesis#post-9138 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 10:51:19 +0000 DorianThorn2 Resident DorianThorn2 Resident 9138@http://larps.net/lc/ To the Legacies 1891 community... Many of you probably know that I've taken a pretty daring undertaking and am playing three characters at once, Dorian Thorn, Dire Thorn, and Reggie Thorn, plus a shoulder pet named Dtriobloid. Now, I'd prefer not to play any more characters but I have given Reggie a backstory in which he is fleeing from someone or something that wishes to kill all the Thorns for some unknown reason. At the moment, I've given this person or thing the working name of the Nemesis. I had a few ideas about what the Nemesis was and why it hated the Thorns but I feel like I'm infuencing the storyline of the Thorns too much and wondered if there was anyone interested in creating a new character to serve this role in the Thorn's storyline and play it themselves. Aside from the characteristics listed below, which have been established in Reggie's Backstory, you would have full freedom to decide what the character was, what it looked like, what gender, name, all that fun stuff. Let me know if you're interested so I can post a reply to this message saying the role of the Thorn family's Nemesis has been filled but don't tell me about the character you create because I'd prefer to learn about him or her ICly. If you are not interested in playing a new character, I'd like to ask that you stop reading now because there is some IC information below that may influence your rp. If you continue to read, I ask that you not use this information ICly unless you are able to discover it ICly without metagaming. -The Nemesis can either turn invisible or move too fast to be seen. -The Nemesis murdered all the servants at Thorn Manor so it would probably have to be of an Evil Alignment. -The Nemesis cast a spell that caused Thorn Manor to somehow age and decay in a matter of seconds. -In the initial attack on Thorn Manor, Reggie heard the Nemesis say "pluck all the Thorns" indicating it wished to kill everyone in the Thorn family, unless someone can come up with an alternate interpretation. There are a number of different reasons the Nemesis might hate the Thorns. Reggie was an investment tycoon who, through certain partnerships, took part in some hostile takeovers of various businesses, leaving some pretty ticked-of businessmen. Dire helped kill a half-demon named Thronus who may have some pretty ticked off friends. It might not even have anything to do with the current Thorn generation but be a vendetta that started with one of the Thorn ancestors. -The Nemesis left the smell of smoke or something burning in its wake even though there was no fire. This doesn't necessarily have to be a supernatural characteristic. For all we know, the Nemesis may just like to smoke cigars. -Although scary and mysterious, the Nemesis is not all powerful. Reggie was able to ward it off using spells from a book that's been in the Thorn family's possession sense the 1600s. Aside from these characteristics, whoever would like to give the Nemesis an identity can create whatever kind of character they like. *Meadows Lighthouse, Asphodel Meadows http://larps.net/lc/topic/meadows-lighthouse-asphodel-meadows#post-9325 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 20:53:27 +0000 Faith Diesel Faith Diesel 9325@http://larps.net/lc/ <img src="http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g389/faithdiesel/LHouseExt.jpg" /> <h3>MEADOWS LIGHTHOUSE</h3> Address: The Lighthouse, Asphodel Meadows Description: Perched on a rock looking out to sea, the lighthouse watches over seafarers and pirates alike.

Não seria mais simplesmente a caça, teria ao menos de mostrar um pouco de dignidade e lutar pela minha vida. Decidir dar trabalho aos que me caçam... Os malditos vampiros encontrariam não somente uma dama indefesa, mas alguem que conhecesse sobre como matá-los e como pará-los. Nunca terei a força que os braços de um homem tem. Mas posso investigar, sondar os outros, juntar um grupo para caçá-los... Enfim. Posso ser uma pedre no sapato deles. Um calo dolorido, assim como eles são para mim. Diante disso, consegui convencer Isadora a buscar informações com Sr Lucca Traverso. Lembro-me bem quando ele disse que matou o homem-lobo, e de seu sorriso quando disse que Maat nunca mais me importunaria. Isadora consegueria a tal informação enquando eu cuidava de outros assuntos, e como eu pensei, ela fez. *´¨) ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨) (¸.•´ (¸.•` "[16:26] Isadora batia as mãos nos joelhos, ansiosa para falar. Então, senhora Jade, o tal Sir. Lucca me confidenciou informações sobre como matar as tais criaturas que rondam a cidade. Segundos as palavras dele, a chave está na decaptação. Foi assim que ele matou os dois lobos e a criatura na noite. Ainda me disse que o fogo pode ser utilizado para deixar as criaturas da noite confusas e que uma estaca de madeira em seu coração não os irá matar, apenas os deixa paralisado. Disse também que podemos prende-los até que a luz do sol os possa atingir." Era o momento da decisão! Até então eu era apenas uma jovem de 21 anos tentando manter-me viva, fugindo de seres sobrenaturais e tentando levar uma vida tranquila. Sonhava em casar, ter filhos, ter uma vida normal como qualquer mulher sonharia. Mas parece que o destino não quiz assim. Por algum motivos, os céus parecem estar pregando a peça em mim, colocando desafios que aparentemente não consigo transpor. Diante daquelas informações eu decidi Lutar! Mas para isso, eu precisava tomar uma atitude antes. Minhas atitudes não poderiam afetar aquela que é a minha razão de lutar todos os dias, de acordar todas as manhãs: Minha pequena Isadora... Talvez quando eu olhar para a jovem que possui o mesmo nome de minha filha, sempre me lembre como poderia ser o rosto da minha pequena. Eu jamais poderia permitir que ela morresse por minha causa. Foi aí que tomei tomei coragem de fazer o que sabia que teria de fazer desde que engravidei. Peguei ela em meus braços... Ela parecia dormir tão bem! Tão tranquila! Não pude conter as lágrimas. Meu coração ficou apertado, mas eu sabia que com uma outra família ela poderia estar melhor. Com um pai e uma mãe, ela poderia ter uma boa criação. Não comigo! Uma mãe viúva que foge constantemente destes seres sobrenaturais. Segui viagem de barco.... Viajei para perto de onde nasci... Procurei por uma das casas mais belas. Pedí a Deus que me indicasse o melhor local. Que falasse ao meu coração de mãe. Deixei com ela meu colar de jade, herança de minha mãe. Era como um símbolo de que meu coração e meus pensamentos sempre estariam com ela. E, então, me afastei observando quem a pegaria. De longe eu vi aquela que tomaria meu lugar com certa inveja. Mas em meu íntimo, eu sabia que estava fazendo a coisa certa. A viagem de retorno foi longa. Não desgrudei os olhos um minuto sequer e vomitei horrores, enjoada pelo balançar do navio. Cheguei a Mystico Ville e não queria ir para casa. Olhar o berço dela... As coisas dela... Não aguentaria agora. Fui ver meus cavalos. Eles pareciam sempre estar comigo nas horas difícieis. Eram sempre meus melhores amigos em momentos como aquele. Retornaria e diria que ela faleceu tragicamente. Nunca ninguém saberia da verdade. Nunca ela seria caçada por minha causa. ---------------- Crônica escrita por Sindy Schnute 1248, 03 de fevereiro, Mystico Ville The Song of Your Character http://larps.net/lc/topic/the-song-of-your-character#post-7532 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 08:00:40 +0000 DorianThorn Resident DorianThorn Resident 7532@http://larps.net/lc/ One of the things I love to do is think about which theme songs would best represent my characters.

[18:47] felipe Adamski: um pouco tonto com a mao eleva a cabeça sintindo um pouco de dor vejo um homem em minha frente [18:48] MecLaine percebe que o semblante do senhor mostra uma imagem confusa. [18:48] MecLaine: Senhor, por favor, posso lhe ajudar, vejo que estás um pouco estranho. [18:49] felipe Adamski: olho para o homem com aparencia amigavel eu digo a ele vim de lonje muito distante a viagem nao foi muito boa [18:49] MecLaine de longe vê chegar sua companheira, e sorri por dentro. [18:49] Marianna Cortez caminhava de volta ao castelo após uma breve visita a vila, trazia consigo um embrulho feito em um fino tecido e ao avistar seu Mestre em frente a capela abre um sorriso que ilumina seu rosto despertando a admiração de tds os presentes: “Saudações meu Senhor “ [18:50] MecLaine: Saudações minha cara companheira!! Como é bom vê-la por aqui... acabo de conhecer este jovem homem, de passagem por aqui. [18:51] MecLaine: Senhor, então chegaste de viagem agora pouco? [18:51] felipe Adamski: olho para bela mulher e a comprimento com um sorriso um pouco doloroso [18:51] felipe Adamski: sim para dizer a verdade tem uns dias que dormir em uma estalagem aqui perto [18:51] MecLaine percebe um embrulho reluzente em sua mão. Sorri para ela enquanto olha para o embrulho. [18:51] felipe Adamski: estou um pouco confuso [18:53] Marianna Cortez percebe a presença do jovem forasteiro e enquanto caminha nao deixa de perceber uma energia q lhe emana a aura. “Saudações distinto senhor, vejo q es um viajante em busca de paragens mais tranquilas“ Saúda Marianna, enquanto entrega o embrulho ao seu mestre e sussurra: “Aqui estao as ervas q me pediu“ [18:53] MecLaine começa a se ligar à aura do rapaz, e percebe uma forte presença do destino nos olhos que me fitaram pela primeira vez. [18:54] felipe Adamski: olho para as pessoas em minha frente e digo de onde vim tudo que era de meu pertencce por la ficou nao lembro de muita coisa sei que sinto fome e cede [18:55] MecLaine recebe o embrulho das mãos da jovem, e escuta seus sussuros. Retorna a olhar para o homem a ponto de indicar mentalmente para a Maga que há naquele lugar a presença forte do Daemon. "Algo de grandioso irá acontecer hoje, minha cara, sinto fortes vibrações vindas deste senhor" - diz Meclaine por telepatia. [18:56] MecLaine: Senhor, fome e sede é uma necessidade que precisa ser saciada. Porém, vejo que desejas muito mais que apenas isso.... - firma seu olhar num ponto fíxo dentro da retina do jovem. [18:57] Marianna Cortez ouve telepaticamente a mensagem de seu mestre, volta o olhar e encara o jovem a sua frente e em seguida ruboriza ao notar a forte presença contida dentro dele [18:58] felipe Adamski: olho dentro dos olhos do rapaz e digo: voz pudeste me da o que comer e abrigo em parte lhe dou o que aprendi meus serviços [18:59] felipe Adamski: e com o tempo irei descobri o que tenho que fazer em verdade tambem proucuro uma pessoa [19:00] MecLaine: enquanto olha para o senhor, sem tirar a vista, abaixa. Pessoa, senhor? Pessoa? [19:00] felipe Adamski: um homem chamado meclaine olho em um papel velho q guardaste a muito tempo [19:00] Marianna Cortez da dois passos a frente aproximando-se do jovem e lhe toca delicadamente o ombro enquanto sussura aos seus ouvidos: “O alimento da alma vai além das necessidades físicas Senhor, não temas os caminhos q a vida lhe mostrará a partir de agora... e acima de td aceite a verdade vinda de seu interior“ Afasta-se novamente [19:02] felipe Adamski: sim um homem chamado meclaine [19:02] MecLaine reconhece a força das palavras de sua afilhada, e arrepia seus ombros ao encontrar de frente pra tamanha força desperta. Se emociona por ter partilhado os momentos de despertar desta jovem senhorita. [19:02] felipe Adamski: olho a moça e dou um leve sorriso [19:03] MecLaine percebe que o misterioso senhor estava a falar dele. continua a averiguar. "Pos o que precisas, senhor?" [19:03] MecLaine decide ainda nao revelar nada. [19:03] Marianna Cortez encara seu Mestre (Mec) e seu rosto se ilumina. Volta o olhar ao jovem a quem sussurara verdades jamais ditas e lhe pergunta: “Posso saber sua graça?“ [19:04] felipe Adamski: tempo atraz ante de embarcar nesta viagem encontri uma velha senhora ela nao me passou muita informaçao me deu o que comer o que beber me ajudou e mandou a sua proucura [19:05] felipe Adamski: disse que voce poderia na hora chegada ajudar em minhas lembranças algo que eu tenha perdido [19:05] MecLaine imagens e muitas vozes vêm a sua cabeça. Comunicações telepáticas e visões pedem para serem reveladas e manifestadas. [19:06] MecLaine sabia do que se tratava, apesar de ainda nao saber quem seria aquela velha senhora. [19:06] MecLaine: decide pular etapas e direcionar o foco . Agora já não tinha duvidas do que fazer. [19:06] MecLaine enquanto olha para o senhor, sem tirar a vista, abaixa e fecha a mão no chão, e sobe novamente com um punhado de terra nas mãos. "Veja senhor e adorável senhorita." - olha para a poeira nas mãos e continua - "Se plantar, nasce." [19:07] MecLaine: Assim é e sempre será aqui neste Castelo. Lugar de nascimentos... [19:07] MecLaine: Venha, senhor, venha até este castelo! Entre de corpo aberto! [19:08] Marianna Cortez emociona-se ao ouvir as palavras de seu mestre e amigo (mec), lembra-se do momento de seu despertar, nao tão distante em sua memória. [19:08] felipe Adamski: olho para o rapaz agradeço sinalizando com expreçao de amizade [19:08] MecLaine: Por favor senhorita, nos acompanhe nesta entrada! Vamos recebê-lo de braços abertos, assim como estarão estas portas ao entrar. [19:09] felipe Adamski: agradeço a voces me ajudarem sei que muitas coisas boas vao de acontecer [19:09] Marianna Cortez segue em direção a porta da capela com passos firmes e acompanha a entrada do jovem desperto [19:09] felipe Adamski: acomphei para dentro do castelo [19:10] MecLaine: Pois, agora senhor, estamos em solo protegido. Podemos falar sem pudores. [19:10] felipe Adamski: e fiquei deslumbrado de tanta beleza [19:10] MecLaine: Vejo na sua aura a força de um destino que pulsa para ser seguido e realizado! [19:10] MecLaine: Que você faça valer as palavras da velha senhora que o acompanhou num tempo de sua história. [19:11] MecLaine passa perto de sua afilhada, segura nos ombros sorri, e vai em direção ao cavaleiro. [19:11] MecLaine extende os braços sob seu peito e o cumprimenta. "Saudações, senhor, Me chamo Meclaine" [19:12] felipe Adamski: eu fico estatelado meu nome e vrolarke com a voz tremula [19:13] Marianna Cortez “este local é nosso refúgio, é nosso baluarte na busca pela sabedoria e conhecimento. Percebeste algo de diferente em sua alma ao adentrar este castelo? Sente a paz q buscas? Perceba q a partir de agora faz parte de uma família e que o dom que lhe foi dado faz parteé resultado de séculos de tradições...“ [19:13] MecLaineMecLaine seus olhos brilham e é possível ver faíscas de luz saindo do peito dos três ali presentes. [19:14] Marianna Cortez: “... nnao recuse o conhecimento, ela é como uma porta, uma vez aberta jamais se fechará“ Completa a jovem aprendiz [19:14] felipe Adamski: sou um aprendiz de mago as pessoas q comigo estava nao estao mas presente e de grande felicidade encontra-los [19:15] MecLaine: Pois, que as forças deste Castelo nos escutem! - olha para cima e retorna para o recem chegado. "Gostarias, então, senhor, de firmar morada fixa aqui nesteCastelo? [19:17] felipe Adamski: sim meus caros colegas e de grande desejo ficar com voces sei que voce meclaine podera me ajudar e mariana me orientara como todos desta familia [19:18] Marianna Cortez “Concentre-se, sinta a energia q lhe emana a aura, sinta o sangue que corre em suas veias, concentre-se em seu verdadeiro EU e responda com firmeza jovem aprendiz!!“ Exclama a jovem discípula emocionada [19:18] MecLaineMecLaine sorri e olha para Marianna, as faíscas de luz aumentam até dançarem pelo espaço. [19:19] felipe Adamski: olho para as pessoas e respondo com extrema felicidade sim e aqui que quero ficar [19:20] MecLaine: Pois, que a partir de agora suas forças se encontrem protegidas dentro deste castelo, nobre ser. E a partir de agora estás oficializado neste local sagrado, como um membro desta família [19:21] MecLaineMecLaine leva as mãos em frente ao peito, unidas, e inclina a cabeça em sinal de respeito. [19:21] Marianna Cortez em meio a luz reluzente das velas que iluminam seu rosto, fita o jovem aprendiz, baixa o olhar em busca de resposta apropriada e lhe diz: “No que puder ajudar, conte comigo... no entanto, nesta capela não há melhor guia que meu mestre (mec)“ [19:22] MecLaine: Somos todos mestres um dos outros, meus queridos. Não há diferença entre eu e vocês a não ser por nossas histórias. Aprendamos cada momento com todos os seres! [19:22] felipe Adamski: entao abaixo minha cabeça cruzo os braços e sinto a imensa energia q naquele momento se encontra [19:22] MecLaine: Seja bem vindo, meu caro Mago Desperto!!! [19:23] felipe Adamski: sorrio para maranna e meclaine [19:23] Marianna Cortez: “Seja bem-vindo, que seus dias sejam plenos a partir de agora...“ Completa a jovem discípula emocionada com mais um despertar A Bebida Amaldiçoada (Magos, Humanos, Vampiros) http://larps.net/lc/topic/a-bebida-amaldicoada-magos-humanos-vampiros#post-9248 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:39:31 +0000 Marianna Yoshikawa Marianna Yoshikawa 9248@http://larps.net/lc/ [18:18] Marianna Cortez: "saudações" [18:18] Genesisss olhando para a mulher e abro um sorriso e digo "Saudaçoes." [18:20] Marianna Cortez observa o forasteiro e após os cumprimentos o ignora e volta a caminhar [18:21] Genesisss olhando para a mulher e digo "é perigoso andar por estas ruas sozinhas.." [18:23] Marianna Cortez volta seu olhar para o homem a suas costas e com um leve gesto de cabeça se despede: “Perigo? Não temo a noite...“ Pensa enquanto aprecia as estrelas no céu [18:24] Genesisss abro um sorriso e digo "por enquanto nao mais quem sabe futuramente.." abro um sorriso e observo para onde ela olha e olho para a lua e digo "Hoje esta fazendo uma linda noite.." [18:27] Marianna Cortez olha desconfiada ao homem: “esse homem por acaso lê pensamentos? “ Pensa novamente, apenas o observa com o canto dos olhos e percebe sua pele alva como um fantasma. [18:28] Genesisss olhando para a mulher e baixo a cabeça e vou andando em direção a ela sabendo que ali esta só eu e a jovem [18:30] Marianna Cortez observa a aproximação do estranho e desconfiada afasta-se dois passos com a intenção de manter a distância entre eles. “Vejo que não es desta região, de onde vens?“ Pergunta curiosa [18:30] Jade caminha pela cidade intediada pelos acontecimentos e procurando um pouco de diversão para melhorar sua noite quando fita um pouco à frente Dreaker, o senhor que havia conhecido na noite anterior e uma dama. Ela lembra-se de ter aceitado ir com o mesmo para uma dança, mas após isso estranhamente suas memórias não a deixaram recordar o que havia acontecido. "Saudações..", ela os cumprimenta. [18:33] Genesisss abro um sorriso com meus caninos aparecem e aparetam ser um pouco maior e digo " Venho da Espanha é um otimo lugar e você?" escutava uma voz familiar e levantava a sombrancelha e penso " Sempre tem que aparecer alguem.." suspiro e olhando para as duas humanas e respondo a mulher que acaba de chegar " Saudaçoes lady , fico feliz em te rever ..." vou me aproximando das duas humanas [18:36] Marianna Cortez preocupada com as atitudes suspeitas daquele homem, nem repara a aproximação repentida de uma senhora que também caminhava pela vila, ouve seus cumprimentos ao forasteiro. Retorna sua atenção a ele lhe responde: “Espanha? Pelo visto és meu conterrâneo... Como te chamas senhor? “ [18:37] Jade fita o rosto do senhor, mas tem a impressão de ver caninos avantajados sob a fraca luz do luar. Ela pensa que talvez, com toda a sua história até ali, sua mente pudesse estar lhe pregando uma peça... Ela dá um passo para trás "Dreaker?", confirma se era realmente o cordial senhor que havia falado na noite anterior "Está tudo bem?" [18:42] Genesisss observo a marianna e sua pergunta e depois escuto a jade me chamando e digo " Ela ja disse meu nome ..Dreaker " abro um sorriso e abaixo a cabeça fazendo com que o cabelo caia sobre meu rosto e coço a cabeça e digo "Estou bem assim eu creio , mais estou com um pouco de fome e esta noite e esta lua estao verdadeiramente incrivel.." pensa "um otimo dia para caçar .." [18:44] Marianna Cortez ouve a mulher q acabara de chegar o chamar de Dreaker. Volta seu olhar para o misterioso homem a sua frente e em suas palavras inquietantes. Olha novamente para o céu e como antes volta a dizer: “A noite está linda pq a lua hj está particularmente iluminada, pelo q vejo é noite de lua cheia...“ [18:48] Jade estranha o fato de Dreaker falar em caçar uma hora daquelas. Algo perigoso mesmo para um bom caçador. Ela olha para a mulher e pensa que talvez a caça que ele estivesse se referindo fosse outra e sorri de canto. "Bem, eu acho que preciso de uma bebida.. Boa noite, senhores..." e caminha em direção à taverna. [18:53] Marianna Cortez olha para a mulher q a pouco chegara e a ve caminhando em direção a taverna dos lobos, recorda-se então que alí é um ótimo lugar para encontrar pessoas: “Até iria se já não fosse tão tarde, preciso me recolher“ Pensa enquanto pondera a possibilidade. Volta seus olhos para Dreaker e percebe q ainda não disse seu nome a ele: “Muito prazer senhor dreaker, sou a srta cortez, espero que encontre na vila o que procuras, afinal de contas, td forasteiro busca algo de bom...“ Ajeita seus cabelos e volta a lhe dizer: “Bem, se me da licença, está tarde e preciso me recolher“ [18:56] Genesisss olhava para tudo ao redor e observava a sombra de cada um ali presente e abaixava a cabeça e a respondo "lindo nome " usava naquele momento JOGO DE SOMBRAS no local fazendo todas as sombras ali presente começam a se movimentar as sombras das mulheres presente começam a dançar e a das arvores e os matos que estao sobre o chao começama balançar forte mais o mesmos estavam parados so as sombras se movimentavam e levanto a cabeça e faço uma cara de expanto e digo "o que é isso?" [18:56] Genesisss: ((Genesisss Resident rolls a d10. Result is 4)) [18:57] Marianna Cortez: ((Marianna Yoshikawa rolls a d10. Result is 5)) [18:57] Genesisss Resident: ((Roll to see if you guys are going to intimidate and etc. ..)) [18:59] Jade: ((Sindy Schnute rolls a d10. Result is 9)) [19:00] Jade sente o vento baçançando mais forte, as sombras tremendo de maneira estranha. Ela olha para o alto "Hmmm... Será que vai chover?", ela não se espanta. Apenas acha que está ficando um pouco tarde para andar sozinha. [19:01] Marianna Cortez sente um leve arrepio, leva suas mãos aos braços e passa a massagea-los imaginando ser o frio, olha ao seu redor e comenta: “Creio q o tempo vai virar, está mesmo tarde...“ percebe sombras estranhas e um leve desconforte, entretanto acredita ser o cansaço e apenas disconsidera o fato, ainda mais se tratando de uma feiticeira como ela... poucas coisas neste mundo a impressionavam realmente. [19:12] Genesisss olhava para as duas mulheres e pensava em qual delas ele poderia caçar e pensava " Uma é amiga que conheci ontem , seria um tanto como tolo fazer algo com ela e a outra uma desconhecida e nao faria falta seria uma boa escolha e abria um sorriso e digo para a mulher Marianna e a digo e olhava diretamente para a mulher "Vamos a taberna , Agora..beber um pouco !" usava Comando para a mulher para poder faze-la o acompahar [19:12] Genesisss: ((Genesisss Resident rolls a d10. Result is 4)) [19:13] Caroll Carrasco está Online [19:13] Marianna Cortez: ((Marianna Yoshikawa rolls a d10. Result is 3)) [19:14] Marianna Cortez ajeitava-se para seguir seu caminho quando ouve o convite de Dreaker, volta seu olhar em direção a taverna e ima imensa vontade de entrar naquele pequeno estabelecimento toma conta de seus pensamentos. Fita o homem por instantes e decide acompanha-lo [19:15] Jade continua seu caminho até a taberna, olhando para trás, ela nota os dois vindo para o mesmo local logo atrás dela... [19:17] Genesisss me aproximo do balcao e o pulo e digo "Como sempre vazia ..." começo a buscar por uma bebida [19:17] Jade adentra a taverna e corre os olhos ao redor. Alguns bancos, uma fumaça fedorenta saindo de um objeto esquisito no meio do salão e o atendente no balcão... "Hmm... ", ela olha as garrafas de vinho e pensa que poderia beb4r algo, mas lembra-se de estar amamentando "Ai ai, Isadora... Cresça logo...", resmunga sozinha caminhando em direção ao atendente o balcão. [19:19] Marianna Cortez entra na taverna acompanhando o homem q acabara de conhecer. Já estivera alí outras vezes, entretanto agora algo lhe parecia diferente apesar de não saber o q era. Repara no vazio do lugar e segue parada em meio ao salão. [19:22] Genesisss me abaixo e abro as portas de madeira que tem abaixo atra do balcao e pego uma garrafa de vinho e a abro com minha unha um pouco grande pressiono contra meu outro dedo o cortando e vejo meu sangue sair e deixo um pouco do meu sangue escorrer por dentro da garrada de vinho e balanço um pouco a garrafa fazendo com que meu sague se misture com o vinho o tampo rapidamente e digo "encontrei este é bom ." me levanto com a garrafa do vinho e pego tres taças e coloco sobre a mesa e digo "Vamos beber .." [19:23] Jade aproximando-se, nota que trata-se de Dreaker. "Ora... mas vc não estava....?", ela olha para trás imaginando que ele tivesse atrás dela e vê que não estava "Ah... deixa pra lá..." Estica o pescoço "O que tem de bom para beber aí... sem alcool?", torce o "bico" mostrando certo desagrado em nao poder beber. [19:26] Jade olha para o vinho que ele pega... Sente seus lábios salivarem "Ah... Lamento não acompanhá-lo nessa bebida, sr... mas não posso. Isadora ainda é menor, sabe como é. Não pode consumir bebidas alcóolicas", pisca para ele. "Vou ter que tomar alguma coisa para criança. Tem suco?", sorri. [19:29] Marianna Cortez observa o vinho e algo em seu íntimo lhe grita chamando sua atenção para pequenos gestos, seria seu Deamon interior tentando lhe alertar do perigo? Caminha em direção ao balcão e segura a taça, volta seus olhos para Dreaker e concentra-se tentando perceber as reais intenções por trás daquele estranho evento (1. Advogado do Diabo DESCRIÇÃO LONGA: Os níveis mais esotéricos de Entropia permitem que um magus altere ideias. Afinal de contas, os pensamentos vão e vem como qualquer outra coisa; um toque de influência pode simplesmente corromper ou exaltar um conceito muito mais rápido! ) [19:29] Marianna Cortez: ((Marianna Yoshikawa rolls a d10. Result is 9)) [19:30] Genesisss: ((Genesisss Resident rolls a d10. Result is 9)) [19:32] Genesisss com a garrafa de vinho em mãos retiro a tampa da mesma e começo a encher os tres copos de vinho e conforme vou os enchendo digo a jade " Eu sou escritor como lhe disse anteriormente e um escritor tambem e como escritor tambem leio livros e creio que um copo nao fara mal ." encho as tres taças e digo "Bebam todos ... Nao fara esta disavença ." [19:33] Marianna Cortez leva a taça até sua boca e com goles firmes bebe todo o conteúdo deixando um fio de vinho escorrer-lhe pelo canto de sua boca. [19:35] Jade sorri e caminha até a parte detrás do balcão "Lamento, Dreaker. Mas não quero passar uma noite sem dormir por irresponsabilidade minha...", ela se agaixa atrás do balcão e começa a procurar alguma coisa que possa beber "Tem que ter alguma coisa sem alcool aqui..." [19:36] Genesisss observa ela beber todo o vinho e digo " O que me diz esta bom?" levanto a sombrancelha e fico a espera da resposta e empurro a outra taça sobre o balcao em direção a jade e digo " Vamos beba agora e aprecie , eu seiq ue você quer.." usava minha labia e o comando [19:36] Genesisss: ((Genesisss Resident rolls a d10. Result is 5)) [19:37] Jade: ((Sindy Schnute rolls a d10. Result is 2)) [19:37] Marianna Cortez “nada demais nesse vinho, de péssima safra aliás... já bebi vinhos melhores...“ Responde desdenhando da bebida q lhe fora oferecida. [19:44] Jade continua procurando a bebida, mas nada encontra. Ela nega a bebida do vampiro (por sorte, não olhava em seus olhos) pega uma maça em cima da bancada "Bem, vou comer a maça e ver se acho pelo menos um copo de leite... Que oisa mais sem graça ", resmungava e caminhava com a maça na mão em direção a Mariana. [19:44] Genesisss escutava as palavras da mulher que se chamava Cortez e digo " Bem , porque nao me leve um dia para beber junto a você um vinho melhor?" [19:47] Marianna Cortez “Certamente, pelo visto não entendes muito de bebida não é mesmo Dreaker, não tens vergonha de oferecer um vinho tão ruim a uma dama? Certamente há ótimos vinhos nesta casa mas pelo q vejo terei q traze-lo aqui quando estiver funcionando, vou pedir ao taverneiro o vinho da casa... é ótimo“ Responde em tom irônico. “ Agora se me der licença, devo me recolher“ Vira-se em direção a porta e leva a mão ao estômago pensando q a bebida não lhe caiu bem. [19:49] Jade arregala os olhos observando a mulher sair irritada. Ela olha em direção a Dreaker alguns segundos e sussurra "Acho que ela está irritada com vc...", olhava nvamente para a porta enquanto dava uma mordida na maçã O Arabe (Magos) http://larps.net/lc/topic/o-arabe-magos#post-9247 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:37:08 +0000 Marianna Yoshikawa Marianna Yoshikawa 9247@http://larps.net/lc/ Ao final da tarde, quando os campos de trigo se tornam mais dourados e a natureza reflete sua beleza... As ruas se enchem de vida, e a vila de Mystico ferve com a chegada de novos visitantes. [15:36] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) cavalgava apressada em direção a capela dos magos quando encontra no caminho o jovem q conhecera a dias atrás (Asmodeus) : “Saudações jovem cavaleiro, como tem passado seus dias?“ [15:36] Asmodeus Askari responde para a bela senhorita: Oh senhorita, tenho passado muito bem meus dias [15:41] Asmodeus Askari: Ah sim, senhorita - responde - Sentí falta da estalagem, o lugar onde fiquei por uns tempos [15:42] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) “fizeste muitos amigos no tempo em que se quedou aqui, nnao foi? Espero q estes novos caminhos que se abrem a partir de agora tb lhe traga felicidade“ [15:43] Asmodeus Askari responde feliz à senhorita, meio embabulado: *risos* Obrigado senhorita, fico feliz com sua boa vontade [15:43] Asmodeus Askari ansioso por conheçer mais afudo a senhorita, resolve fazer um teste com ela. [15:44] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) “saibas q pode sempre contar comigo“. Aproxima sua montaria e sussurra:“Melhor não falarmos muito por essas paragens, não é seguro... conversamos mais tarde na capela“ [15:47] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) surpresa enquanto sussurra ao jovem aprendiz, percebe a aproximação de um forasteiro que ao se chegar desloca com ele densa energia percebida apenas pelos mais sensíveis: “Saudações forasteiro... o que o trazes aqui?“ pergunta desconfiada [15:48] Khaymman Cortes: senhorita [15:49] Asmodeus Askari Com um assobio, que soava como uma ordem, manda seu cavalo embora pro castelo [15:49] Khaymman Cortes: Aproxima-se do corcel da donzela e lhe responde: Venho de distantes terras, cara donzela [15:49] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) ao ouvir o cumprimento e a sua forma de se portar percebe se tratar de alguém que vem de terras distantes. [15:50] Asmodeus Askari assistindo a cena desconfiado, permanece calado [15:50] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) “Como se chama distinto Senhor? E o que buscas em terras tão distantes?“ [15:51] Khaymman Cortes: observando que se trata de uma Magi, Khaymman concentra seu arete para tentar descobrir a que casa ela pertence. [15:54] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) fixa o olhar no Senhor parado a sua frente, e logo percebe que o forasteiro guarda segredos, e assim como ela, caminha em busca de conhecimeto e descobertas. Entretanto, como jovem discípula, não consegue decifrar a que casa pertence o forasteiro e portanto apenas se cala abaixando o olhar e alisando a crina de seu belo animal. [15:57] Khaymman Cortes: Nobre donzela, diz Khaymman. meu nome é Ghiyath al-Din Abu'l-Fath Umar ibn Ibrahim Al-Nishapuri al-Khayyam al Amman. Mas pode me chamar de Khaymman. Seu humilde servo. Se inclina e percebe que ela pertence a casa Verbena [15:57] Asmodeus Askari olhando para a senhorita, pensa que ela tentou fazer algo, mas, não sabe explicar. [15:58] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) olha novamente para o forasteiro a sua frente e confusa lhe diz:“Nome interessante, nunca ouvi nada parecido... Encantada Senhor, me chamo Cortez, Srta Cortez“ [15:59] Khaymman Cortes com suavidade repousa a mão sobro o peito e se inclina em sinal de respeito [16:00] Asmodeus Askari olhando para aquele desconhecido, presume que seja uma boa peesoa. [16:01] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) encantada com os modos refinados do forasteiro sorri discretamente e seu rosto se ilumina. [16:01] Khaymman Cortes: Khaymman olhando de lado o jovem rapaz que está junto a donzela, diz: Presumo que estão ocupados. Deixo-vos em paz e sigo meu caminho a procura dos chefes desse lugar. Assalam-u-Alaikum! [16:03] Asmodeus Askari incomodado por ouvir aquela palavra de novo, fica incomodado, imaginando que seja algum tipo de agouro ou azaração, ou feitiço passivo, e pergunta discretamente: Senhor, o que seria Assalam-u-Alaikum? [16:03] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) “Não se preocupe distinto Senhor, creio que encontrarás o q busca.Despeço-me aqui e espero encontra-lo ainda nesta vila“ Fala enquanto toma o rumo da capela. [16:05] Khaymman Cortes olha mais atentamente para o garoto ao lado e percebe sua tenra idade e a inexperiência do mesmo em terras estranhas e o receio de que algum augurio esse termo lhe traga e gentilmente lhe responde: Significa, "Que a paz esteja com vocês. [16:05] Khaymman Cortes: mais uma vez se inclina e segue seu caminho [16:05] Khaymman Cortes: Assalam-u-Alaikum [16:06] Asmodeus Askari desconfiado da mesma forma, tenta pronunciar a frase, de forma zombatória: Allaum Alakum, pra você também [16:07] Asmodeus Askari virando as costas, olha nos olhos da senhorita, chamando-a para seguí-lo A Missão (Magos) http://larps.net/lc/topic/a-missao-magos#post-9246 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:35:21 +0000 Marianna Yoshikawa Marianna Yoshikawa 9246@http://larps.net/lc/ [17:21] Jolli Pecebe que a maga Marianna atendeu seu chamado telapático e a convida para sentar, porque tem algumas instruções a lhe dar [17:24] Jolli Breda olha mariana , sorri e diz: Como está maguinha ? preparada para o futuro ritual? [17:25] Marianna Cortez acabara de chegar após sentir o chamado de Joli, caminhara um longo período preocupada com as notícias q corriam na vila. Entra no boticário e saúda sua Mestre com um leve gesto de cabeça: “Boa noite minha senhora“ ouve suas palavras e completa: “Preparada sim de certo“ [17:28] Marianna Cortez “ confesso q estou muito anciosa, há dias não durmo direito desde q soubera do ritual q se aproxima, sinto q posso realmente contribuir muito para a CASA“ Pondera enquanto arrasta um banquinho para sentar-se [17:29] Jolli Sente que a discipula que está proxima da iniciação está bem animada e anciosa , para o grande dia [17:30] Jolli olha com olhar afetivo a maguinha e lhe diz , tenho novidades para senhorita [17:32] Marianna Cortez “Minha Senhora recebi seu chamado telepático, aconteceu algo grave?“ Pergunta preocupada. “escutei boatos na vila sobre a perseguição as Bruxas, ando muito tensa por conta disso“ Levanta-se e sem esconder a aflição caminha de um lado para o outro, ao ouvir as palavras de sua Senhora, vira-se curiosa e pergunta: “Novidades?“ [17:35] Jolli Breda como está proxima de sua iniciação tenho um cargo para você na mandala ,espero que possa cumprir com exito,´pois sei que é uma discipula aplicada darei -lhr esse cargo como uma missao creio que poderá cumpri-la ,sorri com o medo da maguinha, de caça as bruxas e diz: nada disso senhorita são apenas boatos [17:36] Jolli: "Jollie Breda (jolli.breda) como está proxima de sua iniciação tenho um cargo para você na mandala ,espero que possa cumprir com exito,´pois sei que é uma discipula aplicada darei -lhe esse cargo como uma missao creio que poderá cumpri-la ,sorri com o medo da maguinha, de caça as bruxas e diz: nada disso senhorita são apenas boatos" [17:38] Marianna Cortez ouve atentamente as palavras de Joli e aliviada, percebe então q as notícias eram falsas...… Leva a mão ao peito e suspira aliviada, caminha alguns passos em direção a Joli e após ouvir a respeito de uma Missão se compromete: “ Minha senhora, tenha certeza de farei td q estiver ao meu alcance para cumprir tal missão, diga-me do q se trata? “ [17:41] Jolli: "continua.... como nosso arquimago Meclaine anda muito ocupado, lhe dou a missão de substitui-lo quando estiver ausente e sempre ir a estalagem buscar novos despertos que aqui chegarem, mais tarde será a substituta oficial dele e trabalhará com o nosso estimado mago" [17:43] Marianna Cortez emocionada com tamanha honra, a jovem maga leva a mão a testa em sinal de respeito e curva seu corpo levemente a frente: “Senhora, o Mestre MecLaine é um grande amigo e Mentor, é uma honra poder auxilia-lo nessa missão“ [17:47] Jolli: "calma sente no ambiente as boa energias que a aplicada discipulas deixa no ambiente e lhe diz: tudo isso que estou lhe dando é porque merece, ninguem aqui ganha algo de bom sem merecer e trabalhar, mas acho que o nosso mentor hoje é arquimago mentor do magos, está na maior patente em que um mago poderá chegar" [17:48] Jolli: "continua : por isso espero que cumpra bem essa missão," [17:49] Marianna Cortez “tenho profunda admiração e respeito por ele, desde o dia em q cheguei procuro me espelhar em seu exemplo a procura da sabedorai e conhecimento.... Sei q ainda tenho muitos caminhos a trilhar para q algum dia possa assemelhar-me a ele, entretanto... sinto-me honrada com a confiança depositada em minha pessoa, tenha certeza q darei o melhor de mim“ [17:56] Jolli: "Vê nos olhos da maga a admiração que ela sente pelo Arquimago Mentor e fica descansada por saberque escolheu a discipula certa para esse cargo" [17:59] Jolli: "olha atentamente a maga Marianna e diz: a sua missão começará a partir de hoje, pode ir e começar o seu trabalho , sei que conduzirá os despertos e os ajudará muito" [18:01] Marianna Cortez “De certo Senhora, irei agora mesmo até a estalagem... talvez encontre algum desperto“ [18:03] Jolli: "despede da maga abraça a mesma no sentido de uma benção," [18:03] Marianna Cortez acena com um leve gesto e caminha em direção a porta, ajeita a saia do longo vestido e cobre-se com uma capa para proteger-se da noite fria. [18:06] Jolli: "eleva as mãos aos céus e pede aos deuses a proteção para a missão da maguinha" [18:08] Jolli fecha as portas do boticario, senta na sua cadeira, e continua nos afazeres das novas poções O Ritual de posse dos Magos http://larps.net/lc/topic/o-ritual-de-posse-dos-magos#post-9245 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:33:54 +0000 Marianna Yoshikawa Marianna Yoshikawa 9245@http://larps.net/lc/ [16:22] Jolli entra no meio da madala, no circulo poderoso, a magia está no ar , concentra-se e dirigi a todos contempladosse [16:23] Jolli: "Aos irmãos Somos aqueles Cujos Olhos se Abriram. Nosso Adormecer se foi, e com ele nossas limitações mortais. A Grande Arte é nosso direito de nascença, cedido por Deus aperfeiçoado através de um trabalho infindável. É a linha da Trama da Criação, e nossas mãos seguram a agulha e guiam o tear. Pode-se levar centenas de anos para aprender a costurar e tecer, mas no momento em que você Desperta, a agulha pica seus dedos. A partir de então, você nunca mais Adormecerá." [16:24] Khayyam al Amman Somos virtuosos, homens e mulheres com tamanho gênio, privilégio e percepção que nos sobressaímos em meio ao povo comum. Nada está fora do nosso alcance, nada fora de nossa visão desde que desejemos e o façamos. Simplesmente,somos os Despertos.

[16:26] Jolli: "Como o aprendiz kaymman da tradição Batines vem prestando valiosos serviços á casa e a comunidade de Mystico Ville, não é mais que justo que lhe conceda o titulo de" Arquimago". Com sua jornada no Oriente nos trouxe muitos conhecimentos e fundou para todos a biblioteca de Mystico, então lhe concedo esse titulo." [16:27] Khayyam al Amman Sinto-me honrado e espero estar a altura de tal honraria [16:27] Marianna Cortez emocionada, não disfarça as lágrimas que escorrem por seu rosto iluminando-lhe a face... por instantes recorda-se de todo o sofrimento pelo qual passou... de todos os descaminhos que a levaram até alí e conclui que se as estradas tortuosas se fizeram necessárias para seu despertar, então viveria tudo novamente para estar alí em meio a essa família que a acolheu e lhe mostrou o caminho da verdade, o caminho do conhecimento. Vira-se para os presentes e com a voz embargada diz: “Meus amigos e irmãos, após um longo período de estudos e preparação sinto-me honrada em poder receber o título de Mestre Mentora, espero seguir contribuindo de forma dígna a essa capela.“ Leva mão direita ao peito e inclina levemente o corpo para frente em sinal de respeito.

[16:28] Khayyam al AmmanKhayyam al Amman evoca então seus ancestrais e seu deamon atraves de um canto do q'ran [16:30] Jolli: "Peço a todos que se levantem , elevam as mãos aos céus e façam o juramento de fidelidlidade aos deuses e suas habilidades." [16:30] Khayyam al Amman evoca a s foças do ar e dos ventos do desertos para estarem presentes nesse momento e selarem essa cerimônia [16:32] Khayyam al Amman Que meu olhar seja direto e minha mão firme. Que minha porta se abra àqueles que habitam fora da riqueza, da fama e do privilégio. Que os que jamais andarem descalços não encontrem o caminho que chega a minha porta. Que se percam na jornada labiríntica. Que eles voltem. [16:32] Marianna Cortez ergue as mãos aos céus e evoca a proteção dos deuses para a sua jornada q se inicia como Mestre: “Oh deuses presentes em todos os elementos da natureza, juro fidelidade e peço que me guiem no caminho da sabedoria“ [16:32] Ludmilla Benoir: "Que o lugar onde habito seja como uma floresta. Que haja caminhos e veredas para as cavernas e poços e árvores e florestas, e animais e pássaros, todos conhecidos e por mim reverenciados com amor." [16:33] Khayyam al Amman: "Quando falhar, que eu me conceda o perdão." [16:33] Ludmilla Benoir: Que cada Lua Cheia me encontre a olhar para cima, nas árvores desenhadas no céu luminoso. [16:34] Marianna Cortez: "Que eu possa fazer o meu trabalho sem interrupção. Que eu seja uma exilada, se este é o sacrifício. Que eu conheça a procissão sazonada do meu espírito e do meu corpo, e possa celebrar os quartos em cruz, solstícios e equinócios." [16:34] Marianna Cortez: "Quando falhar, que eu me conceda o perdão." [16:35] Ludmilla Benoir: "Que eu possa acariciar flores selvagens, cobri-las com as mãos." [16:38] Jollie Breda: Como nossos companheiros não se encontram entre nós, invoco minhas preces a eles, estão em longa viagem, mas de longe emanam grandes energias para todos nós, no momento estão presentes aqui em espirito [16:39] Jollie Breda: SEJAM BEM - VINDOS , A NOVA ETAPA DE SUAS VIDAS. Entrega a joia pentagrama a todas magas. [16:40] Marianna Cortez Fita todos os presentes serenamente, para por instantes o olhar em Khay e mentalmente o agradece por toda a ajuda e paciência que demonstrou em seus ensinamentos. Volta-se para a arquimaga Joli, caminha alguns passos em sua direção e curva-se em sinal de respeito enquanto estende seu braço humildemente para alcançar o diploma que lhe era entregue: “Minha Senhora, não tenho palavras para agradecer a confiança que depositas em minha pessoa... Sei que o pentagrama é apenas um objeto, mas seu significado para mim transcende as palavras....“ Emocionada caminha em direção ao seu lugar na Mandala. [16:43] Jolli: "eu agradeço a todos vocês o carinho que tem me passado e o trabalho arduo que tque fazem em nome de nosso clã, agora lhes concedo todos poderes que lhes são merecidos" [16:45] Khayyam al Amman: "amados irmãos e irmãs aqui presentes, que as benças de Allah (swt) se amontoem sobre as cabeças de cada um de vocês, que vosso caminhas seja uma estrada rumo a um oásis de delicias, que ele nao nos tire as dificuldades, mas nos dê a força necessaria para sobrebormos as batalhas, allah w aqbar" O Batismo http://larps.net/lc/topic/o-batismo#post-9244 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:31:56 +0000 Marianna Yoshikawa Marianna Yoshikawa 9244@http://larps.net/lc/ Dias de meditação e de estudos se seguiram após seu ultimo encontro da jovem aprendiz Marianna com o Mestre MecLaine, entretanto surpresas ainda estariam por vir e no momento certo o Mago encontra as que procura respostas. [20:15] MecLaine: Para de frente para a chama próximo a ele e concentra suas forças. O dia foi repleto de energias fortes vindas de muitas histórias. [20:16] MecLaine: Ouve os passos conhecidos de sua maga e abre um sorriso pela boa companhia a chegar. [20:18] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) entra na sala de estudos e encontra seu mestre concentrado, percebe o sorriso em eu rosto:“ Saudações Meu Senhor, atrapalho sua meditação?“ [20:18] MecLaine: Não senhorita, já estava mesmo por aqui a procura de uma agradável companhia como a sua. [20:19] MecLaine : Encaminha-se em direção ao local de consulta e convida a senhorita. "Venha, senhorita, vamos conversar em particular, protegidos pelos seres mais altos deste reino." [20:20] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) “Então creio ter sentido sua ância por companhia e a minha por respostas“ caminha em direção ao local de consultas e senta-se em frente do sábio homem. [20:21] MecLaine: Pois então chegamos nos momentos sublimes de sintonia, minha cara. Quando estamos em sincronia com nossa alma, os caminhos são trilhados sem força alguma. Basta-nos apenas contemplar!" [20:22] MecLaine: As forças tomam destino para o centro do peito dos dois Magos, ali presentes. É possível ouvir o barulho do vento em suas direções. [20:24] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) em sintonia com o momento, fecha os olhos e seus sentidos tornam-se aguçados - momentos mágicos. [20:26] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) abre novamente os olhos e encara seu Mestre, com olhar sereno lhe fala:“tenho me dedicado aos estudos Senhor, encarnei completamente essa nova fase de minha vida, aceito com convicção a verdade e quero mais que td ouvi-la, meu coraçao está aberto...“ [20:28] MecLaine: Parte das falas da Maga Aprendiz ecoaram no centro de todos os chakras do Mago Mentor, o que fez recordar a bela visão que teve de sua maga companheira. [20:29] MecLaine: Minha querida Maga, hoje, enquanto caminhava ao lado da cachoeira ao norte da ilha, me deparei com luzes cristalinas sobre a água, com forças que me deixaram repletos de contemplação. [20:29] MecLaine: Eram teus guias, nobre Ser. Estava a falar comigo sobre seu destino e sua vontade, verdadeira, de seguir nos planos da Mágika. [20:30] MecLaine: Era como se fossem anjos sob a forma de nuvens claras que pairavam sob a aura dos seres elementais que ali estavam. Sua força Mágika é forte, minha querida. [20:33] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) surpresa com mais uma revelação:“Meu Senhor, realmente sinto a força da Magika agindo em meu interior, chego a ouvir nitidamente o sangue correr em meu corpo.... como se algo poderoso tentasse se manifestar em mim. Entretanto preciso aprender muito ainda, não conheço os encantamentos certos... preciso de sua orientação Senhor“ [20:33] MecLaine: Sim, meu nobre Ser. Vejo que estás pronta para se batisada nos rituais da Magia. [20:34] MecLaine: Após estas palavras, as forças tomam rumo sob o teto em cima de suas cabeças. Algo grandioso parece seguir sob os olhos dos dois presentes. [20:36] MecLaine: Reconheço que estás pronta e livre de suas bagagens na história para se firmar no rumo da Magia. É por isso que convoco todos os seres, teus guias e os meus, para que formem um circulo de bênçãos em torno de mim e de você, para que assim nossas orações pelo Daemon sejam feitas com louvor! [20:39] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) de olhos bem abertos presencia a magia, entretanto não se assusta com o que ve, se fosse há alguns dias atrás certamente soltaria um grito diante de aparições como esta. fecha os olhos novamente e estende os braços em direção ao céu como se manifestasse sua aceitação. [20:40] MecLaine: Olhe, nobre Ser, fixamente para o fogo em sua direção Olhe e peça para que o batismo venha até ti. [20:41] MecLaine: Veja que é neste fogo que encontras as forças que te batizarão. Peça pelo seu batismo. Peça por suas Mágikas. [20:44] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) se concentra na força interior e fixando o olhar no fogo que se materializou a sua frente humildemente pede;“ Oh, forças elementais, venham até mim... me indique o caminho e me guie pelas estradas sinuosas que é o caminho do conhecimento... batize-me com a chama da sabedoria“ [20:46] MecLaine: De repente, uma luz forte, uma faísca do fogo se torna uma bola de luz que transpassa o peito da Aprendiz e acende o fogo da Kabalah deste clã. [20:46] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) sente a chama aproximar-se de seu peito e como um fantasma lhe atravessa a carne. [20:47] MecLaine: É neste momento, em que eu vejo as forças abençoarem tua vontade, que eu te pergunto, nobre Ser. Desejas trilhar pelos caminhos da Mágika, com a firmeza de uma Maga? [20:50] Marianna Cortez emocionada, olhos úmidos de lágrimas - pequenos brilhos transparentes que escorrem por seu rosto corado que lhe iluminam a face.“ Sim meu Senhor, sinto-me abençoada para seguir os caminhos da Mágika, me tome como sua discípula“ Implora a jovem Maga [20:54] MecLaine: Pois, então, é com as forças do Céu e os caminhos da Terra, por todos os seres nossos guias aqui presentes, por todos os caminhos já trilhados e os que ainda virão, eu te nomeio a Maga Disípula deste Castelo, para trazer força e magia aos governos da Natureza! [20:54] MecLaine: E num estrondo, forças vindas do céu tomam forma e descem até a DISCIPULA Novos caminhos se abrem para a jovem maga que a partir de então tornar-se-á Discípula. O Reconhecimento http://larps.net/lc/topic/o-reconhecimento#post-9243 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:30:06 +0000 Marianna Yoshikawa Marianna Yoshikawa 9243@http://larps.net/lc/ *De volta a solidão de meus dias de busca* pensara a jovem consorte enquanto caminhava em direção a estalagem. Voltara por não se sentir preparada ainda para viver no castelo (Capela dos Magos). Entretanto a vida sempre prepara surpresas agradáveis aos que dela esperam mais, e sem perceber se vê novamente diante de seu Mestre (MecLaine). [19:33] MecLaine: pega uma garrafa de vinho, escondida no balcão para hospedes especiais e serve a adorável comapnheira [19:35] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) senta-se a mesa, convidada por seu mestre, agradece a gentileza e aceita a taça de vinho levando a borda ao nariz para apreciar o aroma [19:37] MecLaine: leva a taça ate o nariz, repetindo o gesto da amiga, e leva até a boca. [19:37] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) agita a taça lentamente para liberar os aromas contidos na bebida, e novamente leva a borda ao nariz e suspira:“humm, tons amadeirados... boa safra a de 1215“ [19:38] MecLaine: sim, se te falar que é feita pelas mãos de moradores especiais aqui da vila, talvez fique ainda mais saboroso [19:40] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa): “ Consegue sentir o gosto amadeirado da bebida, provavelmente envelhecido em tonéis de carvalho? Creio q seja feito de cabernet Sauvinon, encorpado como tal“ [19:44] MecLaine: Observa um jovem senhor aproximar da porta e o convida-o para sentar na mesa [19:44] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) enquanto aprecia a bebida servida por seu companheiro e percebe a aproximação de um jovem distinto, recém-chegado ao vilarejo... [19:44] MecLaine: Por favor, senhor! Entre e fique a vontade, estamos conversndo sobre sabores e aromas! [19:46] Leodulove Resident: bem oque vcs estavom comversando pode comtinuar porfavo . [19:46] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa): “Boa noite distinto Senhor, acompanha-nos em um brinde? Que tal brindar-mos a vida?“ Ergue o braço em direção aos presentes. [19:46] Leodulove Resident: sim claro [19:48] MecLaine: Segue o braço até o alto e brinda sua taça à dos amigos. Brindar é sempre um ato de celebração. Encontros são bênçãos desta mesa, pensa ele. [19:50] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa): “Brindo a vida e acima de tudo ao meu renascimento“ Completa a maga - olha para seu mestre sentado a sua frente e um sorriso se abre em seu rosto o iluminando. [19:52] MecLaine: Ilumina-se com o sorriso da consorte a sua frente e percebe sua vista ficar pequena com tanto brilho ao ver o despertar de tão grande alma. [19:53] MecLaine: Mas decide não avançar em comentários tão reveladores ali naquele local. Afinal de contas, as máscaras urgem por serem postas em locais públicos da Vila [19:53] Leodulove: bem eu tenho que ir senhores senhorita mais muito obrigado ate [19:54] Leodulove: ate senhor , senhorita [19:54] MecLaine: Saudações Senhor, lembre-se, amanhã teremo um café especial aqui na estalagem! [19:54] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) interrompe o brinde com um gole da bebida em sua taça e repara a instrospecção do jovem rapaz que estava sentado ao seu lado. “Despede-se com surpresa e o deseja uma boa noite“ [19:54] Leodulove: sim ok obrigado pelo o lenbrete [19:55] Leodulove: ate .. [19:55] MecLaine: retorna o olhar par a senorita ali na mesa, e continua suas divagações [19:56] MecLaine: Bom senhorita, rompantes de despedida não são inéditos por aqui Sempre há surpresas que não possamos esperar [19:56] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) parada com a taça em suas mãos adimira o líquido vibrante de seu conteudo com um brilho jovial em seus olhos. [19:58] MecLaine: segura a taça com as duas mãos, e coloca-a entre o rosto. "´Muitos ainda estão descobrindo suas caras" [20:01] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) “quantos caminhos tortuosos vivemos...“ [20:01] MecLaine: sabe, senhorita, desde nobres hóspedes até o mais ancião desta vila ainda se perguntam o que é que está para acontecer no próximo soprar dos ventos. [20:01] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) “antes do próximo soprar devemos festejar o início de um novo ano, um novo ciclo de vida“ [20:01] MecLaine: retira a taça do rosto e revela algumas palavras.... [20:02] MecLaine: as vezes tenho a sensação de sermos tão diferentes que parecemos iguais! [20:02] MecLaine: todos da vila parecem vadados a este tipo de destino. mas emfim, são apenasimpresões [20:04] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) “também me senti assim, por vezes cheguei a imaginar que tais diferenças seriam abismos, não acha?“ [20:05] MecLaine: Sim, senhorita, não é atoa que existem picos altos e baixos por aqui. [20:06] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa): leva a taça mais uma vez em direção ao nariz e respira fundo como quem guarda na memória mais uma lembranca agradável de sua nova vida. *esse tom amadeirado de carvalho envelhecido, nnao me esquecerei jamais desse momento agradável* . Pensa enquanto bebe mais um gole de sua bebida vibrante. [20:06] MecLaine: Coloca a taça em cima da mesa e retorna seu olhar com um leve sorriso, desta vez mais certeiro com as metáforas. [20:07] MecLaine: Nada como respirar o calor do peito, não é mesmo senhorita? [20:08] MecLaine: Relembra os fortes momentos de ver a chama queimar o peito da consorte, durante a memorável consulta. [20:09] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa): “Sim, o Senhor está certo“ Sorri novamente a seu interlocutor,lembranças fortes e emocionantes passam em sua mente como recordações guardadas a sete chaves. [20:11] MecLaine: sim senhrita! Talvez conheça mais sobre os próximos ventos, que as vezes assolam de ansiedade a muitos, mas dignificam tantos outros. [20:13] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa): “bebida deliciosa e pertinente para aquecer o coração, me sinto mais leve“ Constata a jovem depois de terminar sua bebida. Ao ouvir as palavras do Sábio, volta sua lembrança ao momento em que sentiu o sangue quente correr por seu corpo e a chama da verdade lhe queimar a alma... um momento mágico. [20:14] MecLaine: Sente seu terceiro olho aguçar sua forma física. Pensa que é chegado a hora de mais revelações. [20:14] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa): “tenho ainda muitas dúvidas Senhor, espero contar ainda com seus sábios conselhos“ [20:16] MecLaine: Sente que os espaços estão vazios. Somente preenchidos por duas almas em comum. Decide avançar em alguns comentários. [20:25] MecLaine: Aproxima o rosto apoiando na mesa até ficar visível o centro de sua testa. Senhorita, vejo que estás retornando ao estado vibrante de nosso primeiro encontro. [20:25] MecLaine: É possível ver um leve brilho azul-índigo em seu terceiro olho [20:28] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) ouve atentamente as palavras do sábio a sua frente e perebe sua sensibilidade apurada - Olhos vibrantes, de um tom difícil de definir... hora cinza, hora verde, azullado como o céu. [20:29] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa): “o que devo fazer Senhor? É mais forte q eu...“ [20:30] MecLaine: Toma um gole da bebida e vira-se em direção à madeira demolida de construção ao seu lado. Passa as mãos ásperas no pilar enquanto diz algumas palavras: "A matéria antes nova e nascida, passa a se tornar forte e renascida." - desce os olhos até encontrar a mão da senhorita em cima da taça. [20:31] MecLaine: Pensa que falar em metáforas é o melhor jeito de fazer magias. [20:32] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) “diga-me, q ouvirei“. Fala a jovem tentando simplificar incompreesível mistério da vida. [20:34] MecLaine: Adianta suas mãos até tocar com carinho as dela. Um simples gesto de acolhida. "Tens bons ouvidos porque tens bom coração, minha jovem." [20:35] MecLaine: "Vejo que seu despertar, outrora tão obscuro pelas noites, está agora a encontrar os primeiros raios solares". [20:36] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) olha com ternura o gesto de seu mestre e percebe não mais estar sozinha em sua jornada, em sua procura pela verdade... Sente-se acolhida e especialmente protegida [20:37] MecLaine: Diga-me, olhe para o fundo de seu peito, e pense naquele lugar que esteve quando me encontraste. O que estás sentindo, minha jovem? [20:38] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa): “naquele momento, me senti em casa - verdadeiramente protegida naquele castelo“ [20:39] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa): “entretanto, achei melhor procurar outro lugar para ficar... não quiz parecer impertinente“ [20:41] MecLaine: Sente a humildade nas palavras da consorte, e reconhece com um sorriso seu nobre ato. "A estalagem é um bom lugar de encontros e também podemos encontrar por aqui boa acolhida. Mas nada como um retorno para a casa, não é minha jovem?" [20:45] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa): *Casa...* Pensa a jovem tentando buscar em algum lugar perdido nas mais antigas lembranças e percebe q jamais teve um lar.“Seeria muito bom estar entre aqueles a quem considero guia de minha trajetória... e acima de td ter sua compania meu Senhor, me sentiria muito protegida e mais segura de mim mesma“ [20:47] MecLaine: Seu coração é seu guia, amada jovem. Não há ninguem mais neste mundo, nem coisa alguma que poderá fornecer-lhe segurança como ele. [20:47] MecLaine: com poucos movimentos, fixa seus olhos nos dela afim de oferecer leituras além das palavras. E pergunta "Reconhece, no fundo de seu corpo inteiro, sua vontade de morar Naquele lugar? " [20:51] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa): “Tens razão meu senhor, mas no momento sinto-me como uma criança que aprende os primeiros passos de uma nova vida... Sim, gostaria muito de viver naquele lugar“ Acente com a cabeça e logo baixa o olhar em sinal de timidez, seu rosto levemente corado denuncia sua felicidade. [20:53] MecLaine: Vê com olhos de menino aquela menina tímida a sua frente. Sua cumplicidade é grande. [20:53] MecLaine: Olha para um lado e para o outro, afim de não perceber ninguém. "Pois que todos os ventos preencham seus vazios, pois a sua morada acaba de se firmar no alto daquele topo!" [20:54] MecLaine: Aproxima da consorte e diz em tom baixo, sussurando: é uma maga agora, minha jovem, és a expressão da sua própria vontade! [20:55] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) ergue os olhos em direção ao seu mestre - discretamente lágrimas escorrem de seus olhos vibrantes. “Muito obrigada meu Senhor, tens me ajudado muito...“ [20:57] MecLaine: Levanta de rompante e com um sorriso largo no rosto! Pois então venha, vamos até a sua própria casa! Suba e pegue seus pertences, arrume sua mala e vamos até o topo! [20:59] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) levanta-se e sem conter a própria alegria sobe as escadas da estalagem em passos apressados, em instantes volta com seus poucos pertences e caminha em direção a porta. Mais uma etapa de sua jornada se fecha, Marianna caminha então junto a seu Mestre, em direção a Capela dos Magos. O Despertar http://larps.net/lc/topic/o-despertar#post-9242 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:24:15 +0000 Marianna Yoshikawa Marianna Yoshikawa 9242@http://larps.net/lc/ Desde que chegara ao Vilarejo de Mystico, Marianna Cortez não consegue esquecer os momentos vivenciados logo após sua chegada. O homem misterioso que lhe fizera grandes revelações havia citado um nome a quem deveria procurar - MacLaine. Agora, a jovem sabendo onde encontra-lo e tomada por essa ância resolve subir as escadas do antigo castelo (capela dos Magos)... [10:48] MecLaine: Em meditação na geometria sagrada da Madala da Vida, percebe chegar a senhorita que sobe as escadas. Sob o olhar, seu vestido lembra o início da noite.... [10:48] MecLaine: Saudações Senhorita, por favor, sinta-se a vontade neste lugar! [10:48] MecLaine: Como andam seus dias pela ilha? [10:51] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) sobe as escadas da Capela anciosa por encontrar o mago por quem tem procurado há tempos, ao adentrar o recinto percebe q o encontrou e satisfeita, não consegue disfarçar sua alegria:“Saudações meu Senhor, devo confessar q meus dias não tem sido fáceis“ Senta-se a sua frente [10:53] MecLaine: percebe um sorriso claro e vibrante em seu rosto. Sua sensação de estar de frente para uma noite fresca e estrelada, com brilhos fortes dos astros se expande ao ver senhorita sentada no Círculo de Proteção do Consorte.... [10:54] MecLaine: Sim senhorita, vejo que o que diz é verdadeiro. A ilha nos reserva momentos de surpresas eternas, porém mesmo assim, reconheço que conseguiste manter sua leveza e brilho nos olhos... [10:55] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa): “desde q cheguei a essa ilha tenho tido sonhos confusos, acordo assustada no meio da noite e por vezes creio estar ficando louca pois até vozes ando escutando.... o que há de errado comigo??“ Pergunta a jovem aflita - seus olhos enchem-se de lágrimas. [10:57] MecLaine: Jovem, me diga, antes de tudo, já estás firmada e morando neste Castelo ? [10:58] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) “sim, fui recebida pelo Senhor Wyllyp que me acolheu e me alimentou, ele me fez grandes revelações... entretanto ainda tenho muitas dúvidas“ [11:00] MecLaine: Olha fixamente para os olhos da jovem, ao mesmo tempo traz o semblante de leve ternura frente à luz de sua aura. E diz: "As vozes da Ilha costumam gritar quando percebe alguém seguindo seu Daemon”. [11:03] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) “Daemon?... Não sei como encontra-lo... venho buscando explicações mas me sinto tão pequena diante do mundo.... “ [11:05] MecLaine: O Daemon é uma expressão primitiva da natureza de nossa alma, nobre Ser. Diga-me, já estivestes numa situação onde tudo que fazes, não sabe como e por quê? [11:09] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa): “minha vida não tem sido fácil... e agora que tocaste nesse assunto... devo dizer que algo parecido me ocorreu, ainda na noite em que embarquei cheia de esperanças para essa terra que diziam ser próspera“ Sobe o olhar em encontro ao do mestre a sua frente, e seu rosto aflito revela a angústia guardada desde que chegara. “Sim... na noite em q embarquei, enquanto apreciava as ondas do mar e sentia a brisa marítima em meus cabelos, fechei os olhos e algo de extraordinário me ocorreu... senti um calor e uma luz que preencheu tds os vazios de minha alma.... não sei bem explicar, parecia q eu estava em transe“ [11:12] MecLaine: Sorri. Um sorriso branco, leve, mas ao mesmo tempo revelador de um verdadeiro encontro com um Mago e seu Daemon. Ele sente a força de um destino culminando-se em desejo de expressão. E diz: “Senhorita, por favor, para que eu te diga algumas palavras, olhe fixamente para o centro de meu chakra cardíaco.“ [11:14] MecLaine: Concentre e pense na força de sua alma. [11:14] MecLaine: Sinta e veja o que quiser ver. Perceba no centro do meu peito uma projeção de seu próprio destino. Olhe, minha jovem maga, olhe fixamente. [11:16] MecLaine: Como num rompante, uma chama se acende no peito do Mago Mentor. [11:16] MecLaine: O calor se espalha em linha reta até atingir a consulente. [11:18] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) ouvindo as palavras do sábio resolve enfrentar seus medos, concentra-se em seu mestre, fecha os olhos novamente e instantaneamente passa a sentir o sangue correr em suas veias, ao abrir os olhos fixa o olhar em direção ao peito de seu mestre e uma onda de calor e luzes passam a ser percebidas por ela. [11:18] MecLaine: Agora que estás sob a chama da paixão pela Criação, poderás entender a força de seu momento. [11:21] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa): “não recusarei a verdade, a porta se abriu e nao há mais como fechá-la... agora percebo q não há mais o q temer, me sinto mais forte e confiante“ [11:21] MecLaine: O Daemon se aproxima de seu corpo, nobre Ser. Não mais apenas em seus pensamentos e sonhos noturnos. Em tantas vezes que fizestes coisas que não compreendias, agora tens a chance de trazer às claras. O seu destino se faz carne, anseia para seguir seus passos com seus pés. Escute e veja seu Daemon mais de perto agora. Jogue suas dores e emoções nestas chamas. [11:22] MecLaine: A dor e a angústia é uma forma de trazer a tona a libertação. A sua verdade vem ser verdade, minha nobre maga . [11:25] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) relembra de tds a suas angústias, sua história de rejeição e sofrimento, lembra-se de sua família... aquela que nunca soube amá-la de verdade, as estradas tortuosas da vida e os descaminhos que a levaram a estar alí. Não há renascimento sem sofrimento, e libertar-se das amarras que a ligam ao passado insano é o primeiro passo para o descobrimento - o descobrimento de seu verdadeiro EU. [11:27] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) em seu intimo o conflito de sentimentos, dor, angústias e incertezas aos poucos se desfazem e um tom sereno passa a transparecer no semblante da jovem. [11:28] MecLaine: Veja e sinta a profunda transformação ocorrendo em suas células até a programação de seu DNA. Toda a sua história passada, nobre Ser, será transformada em uma história real de uma Maga. Sua história será, a partir de agora, sua lenda pessoal, rumo ao infinito da Criação. [11:28] MecLaine: És uma Maga em batismo pelo Daemon. [11:29] MecLaine: veja, esta chama é a essência do Daemon materializado. Concentre-se em seu chakra cardíaco e faça-o brilhar forte pela primeira vez, nobre Ser, essência divina! [11:31] MecLaine: Sinta a força da sua alma, perceba que a essência de um Mago é a paixão. [11:32] MecLaine: a paixão pelo destino, pelo anjo-demônio Daemon, aquele que nos faz seguir para onde aponta nossa essência! [11:32] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) sente o fogo de sua alma q percorre seu corpo e lhe aquece o coração [11:38] MecLaine: Em suas mãos, aparecem um livro e uma caneta de pena longa, onde irá anotar algumas coisas.... [11:52] MecLaine: Por favor, minha nobre Maga, responda a esta pergunta:Dentro desta chama que consome e faz surgir sua essência verdadeira, o que poderia me dizer a respeito de você agora? Por favor, concentre e pense numa palavra que resuma seu Ser em expressão. [11:58] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) Abre os olhos lentamente como se saísse de um profundo transe e ao ouvir as palavras do Sábio e sem titubear responde com firmeza: “Sinto como se pudesse ver mais do que antes, vejo a alma das coisas, vejo o vento ao meu redor que voa levando o sopro da vida, vejo cores mais vibrantes - os campos mais verdes, e o cheiro da chuva que se aproxima, me sinto mais ligada a natureza q antes... Me diga meu Senhor, que caminho devo seguir?“ [12:01] MecLaine: Este meu sorriso é uma acolhida a seu estado de alma tão elevado e vidente. Vejo que seu contato com o elemento fogo é forte, nobre Ser. Por isso, atividades relacionadas a ele encontram-se na sintonia, podemos citar algumas ligadas à calderia: [12:02] MecLaine: Confecção de Chás Medicinais, Alquimia dos Alimentos, Fervura, Óleos Medicinais Quentes, Fermentação de Essências Agradáveis ao cheiro, Confecção de Argila e Barro em fornos de pedra..... [12:03] MecLaine: Apenas sugestões de prática nesta ilha minha senhorita, pois sabes, temos que ter máscaras no rosto ao sair deste castelo. [12:03] MecLaine: Porém, aqui dentro, permita-me reconhecer que trazes o dom da Transmutação, pois é isto que o fogo faz. [12:03] MecLaine: Sua capacidade de transmutar energias é forte. [12:04] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa): “sei bem que vivemos em tempos conturbados e contudo serei grata se puder trabalhar com Óleos medicinais quentes e chás medicinais“ [12:07] MecLaine: Parte de sua personalidade parece trazer em essência a capacidade de compreensão profunda do outro. Isto faz sentido para você, nobre Ser? [12:09] Marianna Cortez (marianna.yoshikawa) : “Sim, Sábio homem... gostaria de ajudar ao próximo como fui ajudada algumas vezes em minha jornada... “ [12:10] MecLaine: Sim, senhorita, vejo que trazes em seu peito a natureza de modificar sentimentos a favor do bem, isso se traduziria numa personalidade altamente compreensiva das necessidades do outro. [12:11] MecLaine: De repente, viu a chama no centro da senhorita mudar para uma cor azul-índigo, percebendo que era um avanço da alma para o silêncio, momento em que algumas informações eram necessárias serem filtradas para a mente da consulente. Portanto, sugeriu: [12:12] MecLaine: Senhorita, vejo que estás entrando num transe necessário para suas futuras descobertas. Tome seu tempo, vá descansar um pouco, por hoje tivemos muitas descobertas. Volte quando seus sonhos se tornarem mais claros e as descobertas sobre si estiverem a pino. [12:13] MecLaine: retira-se para a montanha mais perto, enquanto vê a senhoria em silêncio encaminhar-se para seu descanso. Marianna resolve retornar a Estalagem, confusa com a experiência que acabara de viver, tudo que precisava era de descanço. [Mystico Ville] Yo, ho, trevas virão! http://larps.net/lc/topic/mystico-ville-yo-ho-trevas-virao#post-9219 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:09:48 +0000 Anita Silent Anita Silent 9219@http://larps.net/lc/ "O rei e seus homens Roubaram a rainha de sua cama E amarraram ela a seus ossos Os mares serão nossos pela força Onde estaremos, nós vagaremos Yo, ho, todos juntos Icem as bandeiras! Levantem-se, pedintes e ladrões Nunca deveremos morrer Alguns homens morreram e alguns estão vivos E outros navegam no mar Com as chaves da gaiola E o diabo para pagar, nós mandamos o novato trapaceiro O sino se levanda Da sua sepultura de água Você ouve este toque sepulcral? Nós vamos chamar a todos, pagar o guia para a ventania E vire a vela e volte para casa" ((Hoist The Colors - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqbXrluyfSU))" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqbXrluyfSU))</a> A forte brisa do oceano soprava em sua direção. Os longos cabelos vermelhos da cor do fogo agitavam-se nervosamente ao redor de seu rosto. Os olhos verdes, que de tão claros tornavam-se quase amarelos, fitavam o horizonte, perdidos na imensidão do mar. Naquele momento, ninguém seria capaz de saber que tipo de pensamentos rondavam a mente da Condessa Ariel de Évora... Eis então que um jovem cavalheiro se aproxima: - Saudações milady, espero não estar interrompendo seus devaneios. - ele dizia. Ela olha para trás por sobre o ombro. Assustara-se com a aproximação repentina do rapaz, mas nem por isso perdia tempo em examiná-lo. Era bonito e bem apessoado, exatamente do tipo que a faria ser gentil: - Saudações, cavalheiro. Não me interrompes, de forma alguma. E mesmo se o fizesses, posso garantir-lhe que não me importarias. Mal ela dissera aquelas palavras, um outro rapaz se aproximava. Queria informações a respeito dos atendentes da estalagem. Ariel não os tinha visto naquela manhã, de forma que não poderia lhe ser muito útil. Era nova na cidade, assim como o cavalheiro bonitão que a retirara de seus devaneios. Mas aquele senhor recém chegado parecia mais perdido que ambos: - Obrigado senhorita, estou conhecendo a vila, sabe me informar onde estamos? - ele pergunta. Mas que diabos de rapaz era aquele que viajava sem saber seu destino? Ariel não se contém e pergunta. Então o senhor lhe informa que não havia acabado de chegar, como ela imaginara, mas que estava ai faziam três dias. Como ele ainda não sabia o nome do local era um grande mistério. A conversa prossegue, e o cavalheiro bonitão lhe pergunta o que o trouxera àquelas terras. A Condessa Ariel de Évora tinha resolvido ignorar o recém chegado. Parecia, além de perdido, um tanto desalinhado. Retirara uma maçã suja da bolsa para comer, e ela não duvidava nada de que estivesse podre. Concentrava toda sua atenção no outro rapaz. Esse sim, trajava roupas bonitas, que pareciam limpas. Tinha uma postura imponente, altiva. Belo rosto, traços fortes... Enquanto isso, os outros dois homens permaneciam conversando. O rapaz desalinhado confidencia que o motivo de sua mudança para aquela vila baseava-se na ciência. Segundo ele, aquele era uma região rica em ervas medicinais. O outro cavalheiro parece gostar de obter aquela informação. Mas Ariel não. Pelo jeito precário como os habitantes daquela vila viviam, ela esperava mais era que todos morressem doentes mesmo. Saber que o lugar era cheio de plantas daquele tipo contribui ainda mais para sua antipatia pelo local. Estava prestes a vomitar quando uma idéia súbita lhe ocorre. Resolve ser simpática com o rapaz maltrapilho, no final das contas. Puro interesse, é claro! - E como faz para identificar tais ervas, senhor? São tantos tipos de plantas por aqui que gostaria de saber o que procurar, caso precise. - ela diz com a expressão mais inocente do mundo. O rapaz prontamente responde: - Meu pai era curandeiro também, então é uma tradição de família. Meu pai me ensinou tudo que sei, mais sinto falta de conhecimento sobre o assunto, então como falei, eu viajo para assimilar conhecimento. Ariel ouve a explicação enrolada do senhor. Pelo jeito, ele tinha o dom da oratória, porque falou, falou e não disse nada. Ela continuava sem a resposta que precisava. Resolve insistir, já quase perdendo a paciência: - Entendo, senhor. Realmente, estamos todos sempre acumulando conhecimentos... Mas imagino que para saber que esta região é abundante em tal erva, imagino que o senhor seja capaz de reconhecê-la, não é mesmo? - ela pergunta, astuta. Seria difícil enrolá-la daquela vez. O rapaz parecia finalmente seguir sua linha de raciocínio, não precisaria desenhar. Responde-a positivamente: sim, ele sabia reconhecer tais ervas. Seu pai o havia treinado a vida toda para aquilo. Era tudo que Ariel queria ouvir. - Pois então, senhor, poderias me ensinar a reconhecê-las assim como o fazes? - pergunta animada. O rapaz diz que sim, mas não sem antes fazer seu blá-blá-blá costumeiro sobre como ela teria que estudar milhões de livros antes. A Condessa obviamente não tinha tempo para aquilo. Já não conseguia mais esconder sua impaciência, e resolve apelar para sua persuasão: - Mas senhor, isso tudo leva muito tempo. Penso que reconhecer o aspecto das ervas medicinais é mais urgente e que poderíamos tirar proveito delas ajudando os cidadãos da vila mais rapidamente, não achas? - ela dizia enquanto o olhava nos olhos, tentando persuadi-lo mentalmente a concordar. Cada palavra daquela era uma grande mentira, mas ele não tinha como saber daquilo. Como era de se esperar, o rapaz não poderia negar-lhe aquela informação. Não depois que estava sobre o maravilhoso efeito de sua persuasão. Então ele diz: - Claro, recebi um relatório de um estudo daqui feito com determinadas espécies de plantas, claro que a população vai tirar proveito, as plantas das montanhas são meu foco. Finalmente ela tinha a informação que queria. Não precisava mais dele, de modo que volta sua atenção novamente ao cavalheiro bonitão. Ele tinha reparado em seu interesse pela localização das ervas medicinais, mas interpretara errado suas motivações. Fazia-lhe um convite para que procurasse emprego na casa de saúde da vila. Imagine! Logo ela, Condessa Ariel de Évora, uma Succubus, trabalhando em cuidar dos doentes! Um completo absurdo! O rapaz maltrapilho ainda tenta capturar sua atenção novamente, fazendo algumas perguntas sobre o lugar de onde ela tinha vindo. Mas Ariel apenas lhe fornece uma resposta malcriada e se afasta, deixando os dois homens pra trás. Ela tinha muitas coisas para pensar agora. Uma conversa completamente despretensiosa lhe rendera duas novas cartas na manga, cartas essas que ela não hesitaria em utilizar num futuro próximo. Um sorriso perverso brincava em seus lábios ao pensar que as trevas se aproximavam cada vez mais... "Yo, ho, todos juntos Icem as bandeiras! Levantem-se, pedintes e ladrões Nunca deveremos morrer Alguns homens morreram e alguns estão vivos E outros navegam no mar Com as chaves da gaiola E o diabo para pagar, nós mandamos o novato trapaceiro" ((Hoist The Colors - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqbXrluyfSU))" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqbXrluyfSU))</a> ---------- Ariel, Mystico Ville, 24 de Janeiro de 1248.

Com sua jornada no Oriente nos trouxe muitos conhecimentos e fundou para todos a biblioteca de Mystico, então lhe concedo esse titulo." [16:27] Khayyam al Amman Sinto-me honrado e espero estar a altura de tal honraria [16:27] Marianna Cortez emocionada, não disfarça as lágrimas que escorrem por seu rosto iluminando-lhe a face... por instantes recorda-se de todo o sofrimento pelo qual passou... de todos os descaminhos que a levaram até alí e conclui que se as estradas tortuosas se fizeram necessárias para seu despertar, então viveria tudo novamente para estar alí em meio a essa família que a acolheu e lhe mostrou o caminho da verdade, o caminho do conhecimento. Vira-se para os presentes e com a voz embargada diz: “Meus amigos e irmãos, após um longo período de estudos e preparação sinto-me honrada em poder receber o título de Mestre Mentora, espero seguir contribuindo de forma dígna a essa capela.“ Leva mão direita ao peito e inclina levemente o corpo para frente em sinal de respeito.

Entrega a joia pentagrama a todas magas. [16:40] Marianna Cortez Fita todos os presentes serenamente, para por instantes o olhar em Khay e mentalmente o agradece por toda a ajuda e paciência que demonstrou em seus ensinamentos. Volta-se para a arquimaga Joli, caminha alguns passos em sua direção e curva-se em sinal de respeito enquanto estende seu braço humildemente para alcançar o diploma que lhe era entregue: “Minha Senhora, não tenho palavras para agradecer a confiança que depositas em minha pessoa... Sei que o pentagrama é apenas um objeto, mas seu significado para mim transcende as palavras....“ Emocionada caminha em direção ao seu lugar na Mandala. [16:43] Jolli: "eu agradeço a todos vocês o carinho que tem me passado e o trabalho arduo que tque fazem em nome de nosso clã, agora lhes concedo todos poderes que lhes são merecidos" [16:45] Khayyam al Amman: "amados irmãos e irmãs aqui presentes, que as bençãos de Allah (swt) se amontoem sobre as cabeças de cada um de vocês, que vosso caminhas seja uma estrada rumo a um oásis de delicias, que ele nao nos tire as dificuldades, mas nos dê a força necessaria para sobrebormos as batalhas, allah w aqbar" [Mystico Ville] - Demônio Aprisionado http://larps.net/lc/topic/mystico-ville-demonio-aprisionado#post-9226 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:16:40 +0000 Marianna Yoshikawa Marianna Yoshikawa 9226@http://larps.net/lc/ A noite corria calma e a vila começava a se recolher. Nas montanhas uma densa neblina encobria o topo e estendia-se até o rio. O silêncio que tomava conta agora do deserto vale de Mystico é cortado pelos passos de um ser misterioso (Cali Cortes) que caminhava lentamente em direção ao antigo moinho. A figura certamente despertaria a curiosidade de alguns. Religiosos poderiam afirmar se tratar de uma assombração, outros se encantariam com a beleza daquele andar ...tão sedutor.... Aos olhos de um inocente, a cena não traria desconfiança se não fosse pela hora avançada. *Seria uma donzela perdida? Tão linda, tão desprotegida...* pensaria algum aldeão. Talvez em uma outra ocasião essa seria sua real intenção: corromper a alma e o coração dos homens. Afinal de contas, uma natureza misteriosa e demoníaca pode se esconder por tras de uma aparência calma e inofensiva. Entretanto, naquela noite, sua intenção era outra... Naquele exato momento em outro canto da vila, uma jovem (Marianna Cortez) prepara-se para sair. Veste sua capa, e com tamanha destreza sussurra palavras inaudíveis aos ouvidos de qualquer pessoa. Seus pensamentos a remetem aos preparativos do Ritual a ser realizado no dia seguinte - o Sabbat de Litha - em comemoração ao Solstício de verão. “não posso esquecer de colher as ervas“ Pensa a jovem ao bater a porta. Aparentemente apenas a estrada mal iluminada, as árvores sombrias e os olhares brilhantes dos animais noturnos acompanhavam sua movimentação. Apesar do clima de mistério que a envolvia, ouvia-se apenas o barulho do vento. Entretanto, ao alcançar a ponte que a levaria ao lado oposto do rio se depara com uma figura já conhecida, a lembrança da jovem (Cali) que avistara há dias na Estalagem lhe vem a mente: “Boa noite Srta.“ "Boa noite Senhorita Cortez." Sorri de longe ao definir a silueta da mulher e inclina a cabeça em cumprimento. Marianna para por um instante e como da ultima vez que vira a mulher, sente que algo pertubador pudesse ocorrer, e ao encará-la pensa: *o que há de diferente nela? Naquele dia essa jovem me pareceu muito pertubada, hj no entanto me parece mais serena apesar de sentir a densa energia que lhe emana a aura*. Fecha os olhos por um instante e se concentra em seu talismã. "A Senhorita esta sentindo-se bem ?" É interrompida pela voz doce que lhe falava. “sim, estou apenas me recordado de meus afazeres“ responde Marianna desconfiada com a aproximação. "Estive ontem na estalagem, fui jantar ... Perguntei ao vosso amigo (Mec) como tens passado, e inclusive Senhorita, quero-lhes pedir desculpas se fui rude ou reservada demais outro dia...". Baixa a cabeça alguns instantes e a fita novamente direto nos olhos. “lembro-me de te-la visto na estalagem enquanto apreciava a refeição e não pude deixar de notar que lhe chamaram de Cali, é esse o seu nome srta?“. Pergunta apesar de já saber a resposta - apenas um modo de continuar a conversa. Ajeita seus cabelos levemente embaraçados pelo vento que sopra a beira do mar e continua..“Ah sim, meu amigo Mec, ele passa muito bem e não se preocupe srta não costumo me impressionar com pessoas famintas, geralmente elas se tornam ariscas com a fome“ Um sorriso malicioso surge no rosto da jovem misteriosa que prontamente responde: Sim... Me chamo Cali, Cali Cortes Senhorita!" “Muito prazer, vejo que tens o mesmo nome de família que o meu“ Constata, curiosa. Marianna ainda pergunta... “seria rude de minha parte lhe perguntar de onde vens?“ "Não de forma alguma Senhorita, venho de Paris - France! E vos ? Eres mesmo a famosa Mari Cortez ?“. Pergunta em tom suave, talvez com a intenção de distrair a jovem que encontrara. “Sou de Sevilha na Espanha“ baixa o olhar e franze as sombrancelhas: “famosa Mari cortez? Acabei de chegar a esta vila, não conheço muitas pessoas... deve estar me confundindo com uma homônima“ Sorri com o rosto enrubescido. "Não não a Senhorita mesmo! Ja ouvi falar da Senhora desde que desembarcou no Porto, talvez nem tenha notado a minha insignificante presença mas, ... Belos corpos são notoriamente percebidos mesmo meio a uma multidão. Sem contar que cidade é pequena todos aqui acabam se conhecendo.... Como havia dito, meio a uma conversa mais calma com vosso amigo Mec, ele acabou apresentando-a mesmo com vossa ausencia de forma digna." Bate as mãos para tirar o excesso de poeira e a estende em sinal de cordialidade à Marianna. "Senhorita, muito prazer!" Surpresa e ao mesmo tempo desconfiada com tamanha revelação e gentileza, estende sua delicada mão em direção a Srta Cali, afinal de contas é sempre bom ter conhecidos com quem possa contar em tempos difíceis. E apesar de notar a aura pesada e misteriosa de sua interlocutora, acredita que desse encontro ainda poderão surgir bons frutos. Ao leve toque da mão da jovem, Cali aperta e segura firmemente e lhe fixa um olhar na tentativa de invadir sua alma. Entretanto a tentativa falha pois a jovem Maga carrega consigo sempre um talismã que a protege contra td o mal, e não sai de casa sem antes convocar a proteção dos espíritos da floresta. Marianna Percebe a tentativa de sua oponente, em seu intimo sabe que aquela figura misteriosa guarda segredos inconfessáveis. Então afasta-se dois passos como forma de se precaver. Insatisfeita e frustrada por ter falhado Cali tenta nova aproximação: " A noite esta um pouco fria hoje, gostaria de dividir um vermute Senhorita? Seria uma honra servi-la para me desculpar dos atropelos da noite passada." Desconfiada marianna recusa com gentileza: “agradeço a boa vontade, e acredito que nos veremos em breve senhorita cali...“ responde Cortez. “Quanto ao vermute srta, poderemos deixar para uma próxima vez, oportunidades não faltarão pelo q vejo“ "Possivelmente Senhorita Cortez". Diz ajustando sua sacola em seus ombros e com três leves toques ao ombro da jovem se despede. "Então, tenhas uma boa noite Senhorita, vou me indo ainda tenho muito trabalho hoje! Mais uma vez foi com imenso prazer conhecê-la." E enquanto pensa na oportunidade de obter conhecimentos mágicos por meio da jovem q tentara persuadir nem imagina que poderia se tornar vítima esta noite. Mantém um ar polido e sereno praparando-se para partir quando a voz de Marianna se faz ouvir mais uma vez... “...antes de ir Srta, gostaria de lhe dizer algo...“ Aproxima-se da jovem e lhe sussurra um feitiço para tentar aprisionar sua alma afim de usa-la depois. Cali para e ruboriza sentindo estranho formigamento em seu corpo, gargalha e enquanto os ruidosos risos forçados ecoavam pela escuridão, tenta mais uma vez invadir a alma da jovem invocando toda sua força negra para se desvencilhar do feitiço. Marianna percebe as tentativas de Cali em vão e após prender a alma da jovem em seu talismã, olha para os lados e constata estar sozinha... segue então seu caminho e apressa os passos em direção ao castelo dos magos. Caçadora de almas, Cali certamente não esperava por esse desfecho - agora aprisionada em um talismã. Marianna por sua vez acabara de optar por um caminho sinuoso entre o bem e o mal, sentira-se ameaçada com a presença da jovem misteriosa e agora... certamente carrega um trunfo a ser usado posteriormente. Paciência, o mundo cruel em que vivemos é para poucos e a sobrevivencia torna-se meta, ainda mais para quem já provou dos desabores da vida. Crônica de Marianna Cortez Embasado no RP feito no dia 21/12/2011 [Mystico Ville] - A Orfã http://larps.net/lc/topic/mystico-ville-a-orfa#post-9224 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:07:54 +0000 Marianna Yoshikawa Marianna Yoshikawa 9224@http://larps.net/lc/ “Aqui estou eu, como diante de um espelho. Minha imagem inteira se projeta - um esforço apenas, deteriorado por todas as espécies de sonhos. Sinto-me de pé à espera de algo maior que no momento ainda não sei o que é, em meu íntimo sentimentos conflitantes apavoram meu jovem coração, transformação - sei, sei dolorosamente que venho me transformando em algo que nem mesmo sei explicar - e enquanto isto, ouço correr dentro de mim esse sangue feito pelos detritos de tudo o que amei, de tudo o que concebi e que supus mais alto.“ “Há um inverno permanente que me cerca - sinto que me falam ao ouvido, palavras que ninguém jamais escutou - e a solidão traça seus estreitos caminhos, quando o mar bate e o tempo fala de suas débeis conquistas. Me sinto diferente, saio a procura de respostas e percebo o quanto sou pequena - o que existe, está além, muito além de mim. As vozes que escuto são sombras da verdade e o medo há muito tempo faz parte de minha vida, faço minhas orações e peço perdão pelos meus pecados.“ Pensamentos como esses tornavam-se cada vez mais presentes na vida da jovem camponesa. Parada agora em frente a janela, seu olhar se perde em meio ao horizonte - o brilho da fina chuva que se refletia aos ultimos raios de sol a fascinavam, era como se pudesse sentir e ver coisas inexplicáveis - a flor que nasce após a tempestade, o vento que carrega as sementes de uma nova vida. As vezes, suas angústias a levavam crer que não nascera com sorte. Recém-nascida, fora abandonada na porta de igreja. “Que futuro poderia ter uma garota enjeitada pela própria mãe?“ Muitas vezes se perguntava. Sua infância fora relativamente comum, embora não se soubesse muito bem se era feliz. Sua família adotiva a tratava com certa reserva, talvez por sua origem incerta, talvez por sua beleza sobre-humana, ou provavelmente, por ser ela uma criança séria e reservada, que gostava de se abrigar no silêncio e na escuridão. “Marianna, Marianna... o que fazes aí parada? Não mandei que esfregasse esse chão? Garota estranha, não vejo futuro nenhuma para ti... me arrependo de tê-la criado“ Resmungava sua mãe adotiva pelos cantos da casa onde crescera. Quando completou 13 anos e a puberdade se fez em seu corpo, tornando-a mais próxima da mulher que seria do que da criança que um dia fora, Marianna se vira acuada por seu pai adotivo, num dos cantos da casa, onde ele tentara ardentemente, violá-la. A menina amedrontada, defendendo-se com todas as forças que tinha, num ato de desespero agarrou a faca sobre a mesa e o cravou no pescoço do infeliz, se quedou ali por um instante horrorizada com o sangue em suas mãos, vendo-o perecer a seus pés. Nada mais restaria a fazer, se não fugir daquele lar insano em que vivera. E assim, a vida de Marianna ganhara novo rumo. Pelas ruas perambulava fazendo serviços de faxina, trabalhando em tabernas, e se escondendo constantemente da família que agora a perseguia. Crescera assim, às escondidas, se defendendo das inúmeras tentativas de violação, pois sua beleza incomum era capaz de despertar no homem mais casto volúpias inconfessáveis. Ao completar 20 anos, ainda cumprindo o seu destino de fugitiva, embarcou numa navegação que ao que se dizia a levaria a uma ilha próspera, aquelas palavras lhe soavam auspiciosas e sem temer, se deixou levar. Na mesma nave em que viajava em busca da nova vida, haviam pessoas de todos os tipos - não imaginava estar sendo observada. Contudo, sua discrição não escondia a ansiedade, e seus olhos curiosos, acompanhavam todos os ali presentes. E pela primeira vez em muitos anos, sentira um misto de esperança e otimismo, como se estivesse retornado ao lugar que lhe era devido. “Quantos caminhos percorrera para chegar até ali?“ Já não devia rememorá-los tão prontamente, mas em algum recanto secreto de sua mente guardava-os de cor. Ouvindo o barulho do mar e o suave toque da brisa marítima em seus longos cabelos, fecha os olhos e sente uma nítida Luz, que apesar da escuridão, preenchera todos os vazios. Pela primeira vez, a jovem percebera a presença de algo maior em sua vida, algo inexplicável que lhe falava há anos em seus sonhos, palavras ainda desconhecidas. Horas se passaram em minutos, e sem perceber, o destino final da nave se aproximara - O vilarejo de Mystico. Sentiara um cheiro doce no ar, e isso a despertou de seu transe. Atordoada, Marianna desembarcou e se deixou levar pela multidão que anciosa caminhava em direção a praça. No caminho um homem fino e bem apessoado que lhe chamara a atenção quando embarcou, sorria em um gesto de cordialidade...estava sentando próximo a estrada, nas pedras do penhasco que dava para a praia, sob a luz incidiosa do quatro crescente. Ali, por horas a fio, Marianna se deixou ficar, ouvindo as estranhas revelações que ele lhe fazia. Ele a alimentou e cuidou dela com gentileza, fato que nunca ocorrera em sua vida - explicou-lhe que agora fazia parte de uma família, que vinha de uma linhagem muito antiga, e que agora, também ela, deveria aprender os mistérios que tal dom lhe presenteava. Ainda hoje, passados meses de sua chegada na Vila, as palavras do homem ecoam em sua mente: “procure um sábio homem chamado MeClein, ele lhe ajudará a encontrar o seu caminho“ O que há mais para dizer do labirinto que fora a sua demasiada trajetória? Como justificar os caminhos e descaminhos de seu insano percurso que a trouxeram até aqui? Perdera ela o fio de Ariadne? Certamente não a recusara. Assim como não recusará a verdade a ser descoberta...

It contains patient information, hospital information and may be IC character information. Please do not meta game the information within the journal unless you read it ICly.)) 26 January 1891 Orderly Swan met me at my home rather late. Said he was picking up a Toffee Apple, which he did not have on his person but smelled of the candy. I presume he inhaled the treat on the way to my home from the hospital. The man is large and perhaps needs quite a deal of food to keep his energy up, or at least that is why I see him shoveling something into his gaping maw at any moment when he is not busy actually doing something. Despite his unappetizing eating habits and his general state of being a tad bit too rough with unruly patients, he is a good man, dedicated to his job and easy to control. Must discuss with board of directors about perhaps giving him and his counterpart Pigeon a raise. Arrived to find Mori working on our physician, John Spatterdash. She was treating him with natural remedies and magical means right in the lobby. From observation and inspection of his person, he seemed to have had a nasty fall and had done a great deal of damage to his leg. Glass, dirt and a variety of other nasty things were around the wound and he was also wearing a tourniquet which he stated he'd kept on for over 20 hours! The leg looked infected to me and I am concerned with the smell of gangrene that was faint but present. Mori assured me that he would be better and had loosened the tourniquet around the leg. I felt the man's lower leg and foot for a pulse and found one, even though it was faint to the touch. Whatever herbs Mori did give John caused him to act out in a most strange manner. He began talking about the turnips in the nearby market speaking to him and talking to his hat as if it was another person. For his safety, I had Pigeon and Swan take him to the psychiatric ward and place him in a cell for the night or till he seemed more himself. Then the would move him to a bed and let the nurses observe his leg for any changes, better or worse and act accordingly. He will be first on the patient rolls once I arrive tomorrow evening. Speaking of Mori, must work with Mateem at the university. Heard he was teaching a class on potions. Would like to have a class started or perhaps work on developing a class for nurses, staff and doctors to learn to make medicines. The class could be taught by myself or via the university. Hospital is in need of a person who would be a wonderful apothecary or pharmacist. Working with local herbalists would create community involvement, help solve the problem of medicines being stolen from the hospital and also would help staff know more of how to care for patients with medicines. Also could relieve patients staying in the hospital for medical care when they could convalesce at home. While I was observing John who was walking around the padded room, flapping his arms like a chicken, I received a message from Lady Leigh, sent via Clio. I was requested to attend Patch's reprimand of the murder of an inspector. Patch had chosen to receive 20 lashes with a whip, a painful but survivable punishment if the whip master is skilled hand. Luckily for Patch, Victoria knows how to handle a whip. It was a repulsive thing to watch and I did my best to remain detached and stick to the task of making sure that there would be minimal damage to the skin of the man. Once the task was finished, I tried to slow the blood from the poor thing's back but it would not allay and I seemed to only cause more pain than necessary. Patch collapsed on the shoulder of a friend and refused further treatment, seeking the solace of his own blood pool. Must remind myself to perhaps raise funds for a healing pool for the hospital in case a similar need for the people of London. I will send one of the orderlies round to see if he's doing better once checking the patient rolls for the day to make sure he has not come in for treatment. Payday tomorrow. Reminder to see the bank clerk for the pay. Sebastion Muricastle - Last checked on him he was healing but orderlies say they went to the home to see how he was and there was no answer to the door. Assume he is resting or away with wife recuperating. Will send Swan by the house again tomorrow and if there's no answer, may consider they are gone for a few days. Two physicians down ill. Not a good start for the year. Also, must make time to meet with new Mayor and discuss the hospital funds, needs and so forth. Will send letter for her to make arraignments when she has time.

What have you done!?” Nathaniel’s voice pierced the darkness of the apothecary, staying me where I crept in the back room, only the slightest scuff of my boot shod foot betraying my presence as I waited for my mother to respond. “What do you mean, my dear,” my mother said finally, her voice soft but an filled with edge of tension that drifted through the shoppe like a thick ground fog. Not liking my mother’s tone and not wishing to get caught lurking when I ought to be sleeping, I carefully made my way to my pallet. Buried deep within the shadows of the back room, I slipped my boots off my feet, a sigh escaping me as I peeled my socks off and gently massaged my feet. The newly thick skin of my feet drew my attention as I waited for my father to speak. A man of few words he is but even this interminably long time to respond had me verging on a near panic because I knew who they were really talking about. “Where did Saerrn come from?” he finally asked, ice cold words slipping from his mouth. Listening to his booted heels click across the floor, I slipped in under my gray woolen blanket and pulled the covers tightly around me, heat radiating from my small frame though I paid it no mind as terror began its slow twisting rise in me. “Why Nathaniel,” she began, carefully measuring her words. “She came from us…a creation of us both…don’t you believe that?” My mother’s voice was low, controlled but filled with venom I had never heard before and was not so certain my father had either. Focusing my attention on the room around me, my dark eyes ran over the bookcases filled with tomes my father sold to his ‘clients.’ His ‘special clients’ as he always called them. At thirteen, I’d only begun reading what filled the shelves. Most I did not understand but something deep within me told me that I must learn to understand them. “Liar!” I started, pulled deep from my thoughts as my father’s voice boomed through the front room, my eyes involuntarily flaring as I heard and felt the impact of his fist across the meaty flesh of my mother’s face, her paled scream marking her fall to the floor. Pulling my blanket loose from my sleeping pallet, I edged carefully to a nook between two crammed full bookcases, trying to disappear if at all possible, knowing I would continue to listen. “You know what I mean,” my father continued as I heard my mother struggling to stand from where the blow had knocked her to the floor. “People are talking, Rebecca. They can see the…changes! I can see the changes. Did you think I was stupid and would not know? Do you know that Reardon’s father came to me and offered gold coins to keep her away from him? The shame of it!” Buried deep within the shadows I hid in, I listened to the heavy footsteps of my father as he began to pace the rough hewn floors of the shoppe. “Have you seen her arms? She tries to hide them but when she forgets herself, I see them. She is developing scales. Scales! What did you do?” I listened to my mother’s sniffles for a long moment. Sniffles related to her injuries I am sure—my mother never cried. “Nathaniel,” she said at long last, the silence broken by her steady controlled voice. “She is my daughter…and the daughter of one that I summoned. Amon.” My mother fell silent after her simple admission, nothing further did she intend to say on the matter. Listening to her footsteps retreat further back in to the shoppe, I waited until the click of her shoes could be heard making their way up the stairs to their living quarters above the shoppe before finally closing my eyes and feeling the embrace of the deathly chill that fell on the building. A heavy rain began to fall outside as I sat in the deep silence, the only sounds that of my father’s heavy steps as he made his way around the shoppe, his hands mechanically cleaning bottles and jars, and that of rain that punished the roughly shingled roof of the building. As the night deepened, I remained buried in the hole I had made for myself and became aware of eyes on me, my father’s words cutting through me as he watched me--words that had no answer. “Oh, Saerrn. What I am going to do with you?” ((Complete blog located @ <a href="http://thesaerrnchronicles.wordpress.com/))" rel="nofollow">http://thesaerrnchronicles.wordpress.com/))</a> [Mystico Ville] O Veneno http://larps.net/lc/topic/mystico-ville-o-veneno#post-9206 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 01:33:44 +0000 Lik Kayo Lik Kayo 9206@http://larps.net/lc/ [12:36] Pablo Ceratti ao aproximar-se do boticario ve uma jovem lá dentro então pensa é agora e entra.

After the cat meowed the witch turned back to Mateem and said, "The cat says no," without another word she turns back and continues to sweep the floor.

That Mateem was here, and he'd like to speak to him?" [08:05 PM] Gamja Myanamotu * The witch didn't respond but Felicia would walk over to Mateen and paw at his pants looking up at him with those odd color eyes, one green and one blue, she'd meow waiting for the message. [08:09 PM] Mateem crouched down to the cat, until he was on all four's and speaking at eye level, "Let him know that Mateem was here, and convey my apologies for not being here Friday's eve? The family matter had held out longer than I suspected it would, and left me short on time." [08:11 PM] Gamja Myanamotu *Felicia would meow and purr contently and rub up against the man’s shoulder flicking her long slender tail by his face, her way of letting him know she got the message and would deliver it. [08:13 PM] Mateem bowed his head in thanks to the cat, before coming to a stand and making his way back out into the night, continuing on his tour of places in the city he'd not been ever since the iron curtain of winter fell, "Wonder if anythings new about at Tuski Haven?" [08:14 PM] Gamja Myanamotu * The cat would chortle to the witch and in the night would be heard that eerie cackling of her laugh. 2012Jan28: Memorial for Evona Blackthorne http://larps.net/lc/topic/2010jan28-memorial-for-evona-blackthorne#post-9156 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 10:34:17 +0000 Faith Diesel Faith Diesel 9156@http://larps.net/lc/ <img src="http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g389/faithdiesel/EvonaInMemoriam.jpg" /> Monsters, One and All http://larps.net/lc/topic/monsters-one-and-all#post-9172 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 20:29:34 +0000 Chandra Magic Chandra Magic 9172@http://larps.net/lc/ Chandra eyed herself in the mirror for a long moment, before nodding her head. A quick look around the inn room she was renting and she spotted the item she was looking for. A hairbrush sitting on the night stand beside the bed. With a quick stride, she went over and grabbed it, before once more standing before the large mirror. With a patient air about her, Chandra started to slowly brush her long, red hair out. As she did so, she thought of the last few days. From Eden's 'accident' with the stranger, to the conversation she'd had in Underhill, to the most recent discussion she'd had with Ariana the night before. "We're all monsters, indeed." The fae lad, Mephesto or something, he'd understood her. Of course, he -was- Fae, and Unseelie at that. "Monsters, one all, aye," Chandra muses as she pauses in her hair brushing and takes in her slim frame, long, pointed ears and red eyes... "Otch, need tae fix that, I do." A look of concentration appears on the redhead's face and the red bleeds from her eyes, a deep blue taking its place. "There; that shall do it," Chandra murmurs, going back to brushing her hair out as she lets her mind drift to the days before. "Knew Eden was a leech, I did," she mutters, barely refraining from shaking her head, so as to not mess up her brushing job. "Dinnae think the lass would lose 'erself in bloodfrenzy." She pauses and taps her lips. "Still; fair good she dinnae eat the doctor lad, an' the stranger did get better, the wee lad did." A light giggle then. "Poor lass; a monster trying tae hide 'er nature, she is." Still, Chandra didn't trust easy, and the leeches less so. Only time would bear out if Eden was friend or foe. "An' then the fae lad, Mephesto," she hums thoughtfully, switching mental gears. "Tha' lad knew what me meant, he did. At leas', mostly. Thinking me calling him a 'terrible beauty' was a compliment." A grin then, and she hums as she finishes brushing her hair. "Tis true, could be taken as such, but was jus' an observation 'bout the Fae in general." The Fae would have to be watch too. They seemed to be recruiting her. Or something, and her friend, Glori...and who would have thought she'd be friends with anyone? Eden, perhaps, and Glori more so. Right. Glori. The poor lass was being taught by a fae, and by one presumably highly ranked. A soft sigh and a shrug, before Chandra once more surveys herself in the mirror, nodding her head absently at her appearance, and the dress she choose to wear. All part of her seeming, it was. She flashes a wide smile, showing too many, too sharp teeth in the mirror for a moment, before letitng her smile soften to a slight upturn of the corners of her pouty lips. "An' we're all monsters here, e'er las' one o' us." With a wicked laugh, she turns and sways out of her room, intent on seeing what the day brought.

I thought it would be fun to hear some of those stories, though preferably we should exclude Legos charactes from this topic and only include characters outside the Legos universe, that way we don't OOCly influence the Legacies rp. Back in college, I played a lot of Liv-Action-Role-Plays set in the Vampire The Masquerade rpg, plus a couple of D&D table-top games. The first couple of years, I only played Neutral Good and Lawful Good characters. For the third semester, some of my friends suggested that I try out an Evil character, saying that those kinds of characters could be fun. I gave it a try and created Malachai... Malachai was a Chaotic-Evil Nosferatu whose deformity was that he had an elongated snout and scaly skin that was continuously peeling off - he basically looked like a really disgusting anthropomorphic alegator. He had a weakness in that he couldn't drink blood so the only way he could feed was by injusting fresh meat, absorbing the blood from the meat, and then vomiting the meat up afterwards. He was Sabbat and had no qualms about killing humans or vampires in the most vicious ways. It was an interesting experience but after a while I just got so disturbed by the character that I stopped enjoying the rp. Then, my Sabbat pack got in trouble for basically deserting the Sabbat to go off on our own and we were all tracked down and put on trial. Malachai tried to escape during the trial and got staked and was later burned out in the sun. I was pretty glad that I could put that character to bed. Despite the fact that I didn't really enjoy playing Malachai, I think it was a useful experience to help me develop as an RPer and figure out the sorts of characters I enjoy playing - not necessarily all good characters but characters who don't go around ripping people up and eating them. Your turn... [Mystico Ville] O homem da, o diabo leva! A Crônica http://larps.net/lc/topic/mystico-ville-o-homem-da-o-diabo-leva-a-cronica#post-9120 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 02:51:12 +0000 KelenFranizzi Kegel KelenFranizzi Kegel 9120@http://larps.net/lc/ O homem dá, o diabo leva! Uma crônica de: KelenFranizzi Kegel Baseado em uma partida de RPG em Mystico Ville- Second Life Players envolvidos: Anita Silent, Cali Cortes, Thizan & Sindy [...] Capitulo I O homem dá, o diabo leva! A jovem guia local corria bosque a dentro carregando em seus braços um recém-nascido em busca de socorro. _”Fogoooo!” Clamava a jovem Senhora desesperadamente. O fim de tarde na pacata Vila de Mystico tomou rapidamente gradação de escuro no céu causado pela nuvem de fumaça preta que subia do seu foco. A única biblioteca acabara de arder em chamas, transformando pequeno acervo em cinzas e com o vento o pó levava. Os prantos da mulher chamaram atenção da “alberga” e da cliente presente no momento, as duas donzelas correm até a porta e constatando o obvio também tomam seus rumos. Mas como a biblioteca fora incendiada? Vingança? Vandalismo? Ou um simples descuido de um funcionário que deixara as lamparinas acesas? No que se sabe de fato é que os residentes desta vila perderam seus livros e alguns até marcas dos seus registros de residência. Muitos manuscritos em formas originais queimaram-se e agora só resta reconstruir e começar tudo de novo. Capitulo II De um grande encontro. Cali Cortes para repentinamente com forte passagem de um vendo catabatico e o semblante instantaneamente desfeito como se soubesse ou intuísse a natureza daquele ser a sua frente neste momento, recomeça a voz baixa. _"Espero querida que quem a mandastes aqui também dissera que aqui quem manda sou eu!" Lança a sua interlocutora um sorriso confiante e não se move. _ "Inclusive tenho a dizer que! Não vale a pena catalogarmos detalhes agora, somente entenda que um passo falso será o fim." Indo de encontro ao delicado rosto angelical com um olhar ameaçador e como sempre aprecia seu aspecto simples e risonho, gargalha. _"Bom!” Coçando a cabeça na tentativa de mudar de assunto. _”Já visitastes a biblioteca local Senhorita ? " Propõe Senhorita Cali a jovem Ariel. Ariel se aproxima do balcão num movimento rápido e coloca as mãos sobre ele, dizendo em tom de voz baixo. _ "Então, recapitulando, lady, não se interfira em meus assuntos que não interferirei nos seus." Sorria para ela desafiadoramente, recomponde-se. _"Tens uma biblioteca por aqui? Como permitiste uma coisa dessas?" Duas Senhoritas na recepção da estalagem trocam galantes ameaças em ares sardônicos, desaprovadores e duvidosos, maliciosos e cheios de gana. Ariel nobre condessa recém chegada a cidade, beleza exuberante a pele clara, cabelos macios ígneos em tom, olhos verdes, ar soberbo como toda nobre não economiza as queixas em tudo que vê. Diante dela Cali Cortes, herdeira do Castelo Negro, filha única da Senhora Kelen Cortes que impecavelmente reinou e após sua morte deixara apenas ela. Jovem quão normal, simples e meiga, exerce sua função voluntaria na recepção da estalagem local afim de fazer novas amizades e distrair. Portanto, também não esconde a mais preciosa herança que deixara sua mãe, forte caráter e arrogância. As duas inversamente começaram as apresentações detestáveis até que se assuma uma perfeita compatibilidade. Elas realmente se merecem. Capitulo III Faces Em um piscar de olhos muda-se as cascas e garnidas de maldições restam ao meio do salão da pequena biblioteca as duas. Com um propósito comum e não em busca de um elucidário, uma delas toma a frente enquanto no olhar da outra nota-se que exatamente o mesmo plano fora minuciosamente arquitetado. No que fez parecer um descuido de um funcionário as palavras de ódio ecoam na sala e as torças presas a parede caem sobre a mesa de carvalho. O fogo se alastra e a ruidosas gargalhadas as duas companheiras gozam da situação alimentando suas almas deste prazer. A outra maquiavélica em sua descrença que o fogo propagasse até a ultima estante atiça mais as chamas que sobem vivas jogando os exemplares do acervo sobre estas. Como vieram saíram e de volta a casca original apenas assiste o fim da biblioteca. Capitulo IV O Propósito Divertimento apenas imaginativo daquelas faces que lutaram para construir o lugar. O prazer do sofrimento à aqueles que deverão fazer tudo novamente. Afinal de contas uma população instruída é muito mais difícil de ser manipulada. _” Senhor supremos dos Infernos venha a mim e alastre por este lugar toda dor, decepção, ódio, caos e maldição. Que estes pobres homens entreguem-se ao inferno e junte a nos, que ardam em seus pecados e sofram. Que a decepção estampe crua no olhar destes medíocres que aqui suaram para construção, falsários. Ah Gloria de Satã!” Poucas palavras proferidas em fabulare. 26 do mês I de 1248.

"Saudações Senhorita, em que posso ajudá-la? " *logo lembra-se da nobre que recebera outro dia* [11:46] Ariel descia as escadas do quarto em direção à recepção da estalagem. Estava entediada e não tinha nada de interessante para fazer naquela cidade. Pelo menos não àquela hora, quando a tal taverna não deveria estar aberta. Ao descer, percebe que a jovem da recepção estava atrás do balcão e resolve se aproximar "Saudações, senhora. Vejo que teremos o jantar hoje, já que se encontra em seu posto." [11:48] Cali Cortes desperta uma curiosidade em si, do que uma nobre viera fazer a estas terras e deslizando sua língua em seus caninos a fita da cabeça aos pés. Mais cedo ou mais tarde descobrira o que tanto atrai diversas criaturas a pacata Mystico Ville! As palavras da Senhorita clareia em seu semblante um sorriso e de um tom agradável diz: "Sim, ontem foi meu dia de folga! Aproveitei para passear no mercado em busca de novas especiarias estava agorinha mesmo pensando o que farei para hoje a noite a Senhorita sugere algo ? Os habitantes desta Vila não estão nada acostumados a culinária fina mas, vejo que a Senhorita sim! " [11:53] Ariel sorria para a jovem ao notar que ela percebera seus hábitos requintados, o que sempre despertava sua simpatia e boa educação "Sim, tens razão, minha cara. Mas duvido muito que tenhas disponível nesse fim de mundo todas as iguarias as quais meu paladar está acostumado." Ela alisava o vestido de seda vermelho, enquanto olhava ao redor "Mas acho que não precisas se preocupar com a refeição desta noite, parece que não tem ninguém aqui para apreciá-la além de mim." [12:07] Cali Cortes entrelaça os dedos e debruça sobre o balcão fixadamente mergulhando no verde dos olhos da cliente e sorri com os dizeres da jovem "Sabe Senhorita, Mystico Ville atrai mais diversas espécies , pessoas vinda de todos os mundos. Compreendo vosso requinte e finesse particular portanto de onde venho costumamos dizer que nem tudo que se parece de fato é" [12:17] ArielAriel observa a jovem senhora se debruçar sobre o balcão e proferir algumas palavras que lhe parecem bastante misteriosas. Apertava os olhos e unia as sobrancelhas, visivelmente tentando compreende-las. Sem conseguir se conter, aproxima-se do balcão, dizendo "Confesso não ter compreendido exatamente o que a senhora quis dizer com isso. Poderia ser mais clara em suas palavras, por gentileza?" [12:19] Cali Cortes Cali sorri acompanhando com movimento leve de braço dando a volta no balcão e frente a cliente seus olhos brilham "Reconhecemos somente os nossos Senhorita!" *gargalha retomando centro do salão em direção a janela* [12:20] Cali CortesCali Cortes focuses on their skill of Transmutation, gets a stellar success in performing a physical presence on themselves. [12:21] Cali CortesCali Cortes seus olhos passam do preto ao vermelho em fração de segundos e volta a jovem Senhorita parando atrás dela sussurra. "Tens aproveitado das nossas terras jovem? O que uma nobre sozinha viera fazer por aqui ? " [12:22] Cali CortesCali Cortes focuses their legendary skill of Mind Reading. [12:28] ArielAriel observa a jovem senhora dar a volta no balcão e se aproximar ainda mais. Seus comentários estavam cada vez mais misteriosos, a ela começava a desconfiar do por quê. Sem tirar os olhos da jovem, percebe quando seus olhos ficam vermelhos e a compreensão toma conta dela. Sorria maliciosamente ao finalmente reconhecer a que a senhora se referia em suas palavras "Venho cumprir ordens, senhora. Imagino que compreendas." [12:31] Cali CortesCali Cortes sente um ar vivo clarear seu espírito acompanhado de um arrepio , observa jogando um olhar desaprovador e duvidoso "Cumprindo ordens Senhorita... Uma doce pele clara e nobre não bastaria que a dar ordens, explica o que acabei de lhes dizer" *sorri maliciosamente e com um fim de sorriso nos lábios concentra-se ao adentrar nos segredos das Senhorita presente guardando seu silencio* [12:32] Cali CortesCali Cortes focuses on their legendary skill of Mind Reading, successfully performs a mental discovery on Ariel. [12:33] Cali CortesCali Cortes do ígneo luzidio dos cabelos da jovem da um passo a trás e com os cotovelos instala-se sobre o balcão. "Também espero que compreendas Senhorita!" [12:36] Cali CortesCali Cortes focuses their legendary skill of Deception. [12:41] ArielAriel ouve o comentário maldoso que faz a senhora sobre os motivos que a trouxeram na cidade. Não conseguia entender aquele dar de superioridade que ela agora exalava, como se aquela informação tivesse lhe fornecido uma carta na manda. Estava tão intrigada com o comportamento da moça que quase não percebe as pequenas faíscas em sua mente. Nunca tido sido submetida àquele tipo de invasão anteriormente, mas tinha uma leve noção do que significava: estava nas mãos dela. Sentindo que precisava descobrir o que ela sabia, resolve acuá-la próximo ao balcão e olhá-la profundamente nos olhos, tentando desvendar o que se passava em sua mente. [12:42] ArielAriel focuses on their legendary skill of Mind Reading, successfully performs a mental discovery on Cali Cortes. [12:47] Cali CortesCali Cortes para repentinamente com forte passagem de um vendo catabatico e o semblante instantaneamente desfeito como se soubesse ou intuísse a natureza daquele ser a sua frente neste momento, recomeça a voz baixa "Espero querida que quem a mandastes aqui também dissera que aqui quem manda sou eu!" *lança a sua interlocutora um sorriso confiante e não se move* "Inclusive tenho a dizer que! Não vale a pena catalogarmos detalhes agora, somente entenda que um passo falso será o fim." *vai de encontro ao delicado rosto angelical com um olhar ameaçador e como sempre aprecia seu aspecto simples e risonho, gargalha* "Ira deixar hoje a noite esta estalagem! Sei onde ira viver daqui para frente Jovem!" *retoma seu lugar atrás do balcão ao ver de relance do lado de fora um a silueta vagar* [12:48] Cali CortesCali Cortes focuses their skill of Demonic Law. [12:48] Cali CortesCali Cortes focuses on their skill of Demonic Law, misses in performing a mental influence on Ariel. [12:50] Cali Cortes: "Até que se prove do contrario, entendeu-me bem ? " *Percebe o Senhor diante da porta e disfarçadamente saúda "Saudações Senhor, felicidades tê-lo por aqui! Em que posso ajudá-lo?" [12:50] Lucca TraversoLucca Traverso caminha em direção a estalagem lembrando-se do que aconteceu a algumas noites atrás, ele bate na madeira lateral onde ficaria a porta com calma e fala calmamente. "Scusa signorina, estou apenas aqui para informá-la que como o mais novo membro da milícia, estou a sua disposição caso algo errado ou suspeito ocorra, por favor, se veres algo estranho acontecendo, por favor, venha reportar a mim." ele sorri carismaticamente enquanto ele as cumprimenta com um leve gesto de sua cabeça. [12:52] Cali Cortes: "Que boa nova Senhor! A ordem finalmente ira prevalecer a estas terras, irei sim. A temporada atraiu alguns indivíduos ao comportamento sórdido, afim de evitá-los cortaremos o "mau" pela raiz." *pisca o olho ao Senhor de pé parado confiante*" [12:52] ArielAriel ao invadir-lhe os pensamentos, finalmente compreende o que se passava na mente daquela senhora. Ela não só havia descoberto os reais motivos de estar na cidade, como também agora sabia sobre seu maior segredo: sua natureza infernal. Antes que o desespero pudesse dominar-lhe as idéias, ela percebe que não era só a senhora que tinha uma carta na manga. Ela também a possuía, já que a verdadeira natureza de ambas era a mesma. Ouve a senhora proferir pretensas ameaças, que não a atingem. Sabia perfeitamente seu devido lugar, e era uma sorte tremenda que tivesse esbarrado logo na lady do feudo "Como queiras, senhora. Não pretendo de maneira alguma criar-lhe problemas." Sorria para ela com certo ar de superioridade. [12:54] Lucca TraversoLucca Traverso curva-se levemente. "Vou continuar a comunicar aos outros moradores da ilha, signorina, se precisar de algo, por favor, me avise." ele se vira e caminha na direção do porto. Ele parece não ter ouvido a conversa que se passava antes. [12:55] ArielAriel se afastava do balcão e então percebe um senhor parado na porta. Parecia ser assunto para a lady resolver, então não se mete. Ouvia seu aviso desejando que fosse embora rapidamente para continuarem seus assuntos. [12:55] Cali CortesCali Cortes dedilhando suas unhas negras afiadas no balcão apenas sorri sinal que o pacto fora feito e mais um aliado chegara em seus planos para aquela cidade pacata, acena com a mão ao Senhor que se distancia mais rápido que a velocidade do vento* [12:56] Cali Cortes: "Bom! *coça a cabeça na tentativa de mudar de assunto* "Já visitastes a biblioteca local Senhorita ? "" [12:58] ArielAriel ao ver que o senhor se afastara novamente, se aproxima do balcão num movimento rápido e coloca as mãos sobre ele, dizendo em tom de voz baixo "Então, recapitulando, lady, não se interfira em meus assuntos que não interferirei nos seus." Sorria para ela desafiadoramente, recomponde-se "Tens uma biblioteca por aqui? Como permitiste uma coisa dessas?" [12:58] Cali CortesCali Cortes focuses their skill of Transmutation. [12:59] Cali CortesCali Cortes uma fez a natureza destes seres descoberta deixa sua furia e em demonic profere: [13:00] Cali Cortes: Sujos e incompetentes lacaios que os infernos nos envia todos os dias precisei eu mesma vir até aqui e acabar com esta palhaçada. [13:00] Cali Cortes: ((other language)): sens ter skye airle see ot omta see sens ot reti omta ot sens see reti ter airle see reti wre [13:01] Cali CortesCali Cortes bruscamente toma uma nova casca e sorrindo a jovem a sua nova imagem a convida. "Vamos visitar a biblioteca da patuléia!" [13:02] Cali CortesCali Cortes focuses on their skill of Transmutation, successfully performs a physical presence on themselves. [13:05] ArielAriel ouve a lady proferir algumas maldições em fabulare e acha graça. Num piscar de olhos, ela já estava com outra forma. Convidava-a para visitar a biblioteca da villa, o que de certa forma seria uma boa distração. Podia quase pressentir as idéias maliciosas que poderiam estar passando pela mente da lady. Além disso, concordar em acompanhá-la era uma forma de mostrar que não desejava criar nenhum tipo de animosidade "Vamos sim, com prazer, senhora." dizia ironicamente antes de também mudar completamente sua aparência. [13:05] ArielAriel focuses on their skill of Transmutation, successfully performs a physical presence on themselves. [13:08] Cali CortesCali Cortes ao sair da estalagem olha para os lados e apenas os vendedores em frente ao estabelecimento, logo caminha até a porta da biblioteca que encontra-se fechada e ao fechar os olhos clama sua maldição. [13:08] Cali CortesCali Cortes performs ShadowStepper on themself. [13:10] ArielAriel saindo da estalagem, caminha até a pequena porta da biblioteca. Observa a lady usar sua habilidade de atravessar paredes e solta um pequeno sorrisinho. Enquanto esperava que ela abrisse a porta pelo lado de dentro, olhava para os lados certificando-se que ninguém prestava atenção nas duas. [13:11] Cali CortesCali Cortes ao obter sucesso em seus poderes atravessa facilmente o muro solido de pedra e gargalha. "Vejamos o que temos por aqui .... Registros, elucidários, textos e textos ..." *suspira* "Humanos adoram escrever as coisas que eles acham que são sem ao menos saber quem de fato são!" [13:13] Cali CortesCali Cortes ao perceber que o demônio menor não conseguira atravessar a parede sorrindo abre a porta "Vamos já para dentro!" [13:13] ArielAriel percebe a demora da lady em abrir a porta e imagina se ela não a teria esquecido ali fora. Dá duas batidinhas para ver se ela abria. [13:14] Cali CortesCali Cortes logo em seguida fecha a porta mais uma vez certificando que ninguém estava por perto. [13:15] ArielAriel entra na biblioteca, observando as muitas estantes cheias de livros "Ah, mas quanta porcaria eles guardam aqui! Precisamos dar um jeito nisso, não achas?" [13:15] Cali CortesCali Cortes aponta para o fundo da sala "Veja que descuido, a funcionaria deixara duas torchas acesas! Owww... que acidente trágico... " *sorri sem mais dizer sobre seus planos a sua jovem companheira* [13:17] ArielAriel gargalha ao finalmente perceber a intenção da lady quando aponta para as tochas. Sem dizer mais nada, pega uma delas e aproxima de uma das estantes, esperando que o contato do fogo com o papel fizesse seu trabalho sozinho. [13:17] Cali CortesCali Cortes a ruidosas risadas maléficas volta ao fundo do estabelecimento "Este povo não precisa de informação existe apenas uma verdade, vamos veja rapidamente se algo nos interessa e sem fazer barulho sairemos daqui cada uma para seu lado" [13:19] Cali CortesCali Cortes diante do fogo em seus olhos refletem a chamas da maldade em fabulare profere seu ódio. [13:20] ArielAriel olhava ao redor imaginando o estrago que o fogo não faria com aquele monte de papel junto. [13:21] Cali Cortes: Senhor supremos dos Infernos venha a mim e alastre por este lugar toda dor, decepção, odio e maldição. Que estes pobres homens entreguem-se ao inferno e junte a nos, que ardam em seus pecados sofram. Ah Gloria de Satã!

[13:26] Cali CortesCali Cortes ao estalar os dedos clama sua maldição e sai do estabelecimento .

I am Seras and I have the pleasure of being a ST in training here at legacies so feel free to ask any questions. We will be discussion the Laws of Legacies. So to start off is there only one type of government in Legacies? [17:00] Seras Tearfall: Hello Gloriana [17:00] Gloriana Maertens: 'allo! [17:01] Seras Tearfall: Hello Pandora [17:01] Pandora Fireguard: hi hi Victoria, hi all. [17:02] Gloriana Maertens: in answer to your question, I don't think so. [17:02] Edenz: no, I don't think there is [17:03] Seras Tearfall: That is a popular statement but it is incorrect. The human goverment is the one that say the constables work under. They enforce the common laws of the city [17:03] Seras Tearfall: oh wait...you were right forgot what I said ugh off to a bad start [17:03] Bunny Allardyce: could be worse [17:03] Edenz: no worries [17:03] Earth Alcott: are we using voice? [17:04] Edenz: I don't think so Earth [17:04] Earth Alcott: k [17:05] Seras Tearfall: There is also something called the dark government which are things that are inhuman in nature. As well as other goverment type systems as well but the laws as they are stated are enforced in the human government. Though that does not mean the other systems will not try and get you if they deem you guilty as well [17:06] Can't rez object 'Constable Class Box (Laws)' at { 117.442, 152.815, 1500.94 } on parcel 'Legacies 1891 RP Dark Victorian RolePlay, No OOC (LaRPS MMORPG)' in region Isle of Legacies because the owner of this land does not allow it. Use the land tool to s [17:06] Bunny Allardyce: guilty of what crimes though? [17:07] Seras Tearfall: exactly...you would have to find that out icly =) Ok so there is a box behind me that everyone can click and get a copy of the laws of Legacies and we can start at the first and go over them all [17:09] Pandora Fireguard: raises hand. Question. [17:09] Seras Tearfall: go ahead Pandora [17:09] Pandora Fireguard: Wasn't the dark government mentioned when Mod was sworn in as mayor? I was confused. [17:10] Seras Tearfall: yes and there is an ic reason for that, we elect the mayor, but they are swearing on a book, and it is not the bible I will tell ya that [17:11] Seras Tearfall: cant delve to deep into ic info like that though here, but any other questions before we continue? [17:11] Pandora Fireguard: ok, but she is mayor of the human government? [17:11] Seras Tearfall: yes [17:11] Pandora Fireguard: i understand if you can't go into it. [17:12] Pandora Fireguard: that's good. thank you. [17:12] Seras Tearfall: K awesome so the one thing we have to keep in mind is in Legacies the laws are set by presedence, we cant go fully on the common laws of england cause well... this isnt england of the time. [17:15] Seras Tearfall: First law is Murder. Duals of honor are allowed as long as they are done in the right manor, make sure you have another person there to mediate the dual as an on looker. And really the normal penalty for murder is death. does not have to be perma death mind you so you can come back if you rp it [17:17] Seras Tearfall: There is also Manslaughter which is the normal sentencing for a death that was not entirely planned out like say the carriage ran over a person and killed them. that would be man slaughter. and that normally is a fine and jail time, perhaps some community service as well. [17:19] Seras Tearfall: You will find that most are a simple fine and jail time, perhaps a bit of community service mainly because we can not go and put all characters in jail forever mainly because you would die of bordem [17:19] Seras Tearfall: and it is no fun to sit in a cell alot. and we do not like to hault peoples rp like that [17:20] Earth Alcott: Victoria, are many of the laws broken here? If so how often ..what is the crime rate [17:20] Seras Tearfall: All the time, and the crime rate is horrid lol I am the commissioner of the Constables so it is my job to get all the arrests and cases. [17:21] Earth Alcott: okay thank you for the answer to my question [17:22] Bunny Allardyce: how many people are falesely convicted :o [17:23] Seras Tearfall: K second we come to Rape, which is a fine and community service, though I do have to admit the rulings have been getting switched up a bit so makes penalties a bit more random. But for Rape and most other crimes your have 4 convictons before you are put to death. And not to many I would like to think. occasionly one or two get thrown in there for the evening if they are being troublesome causing public disturbances. [17:24] Earth Alcott: ( i am sorry have to log ) thank you! [17:25] Seras Tearfall: np earth have a good day [17:26] Seras Tearfall: K so if you havent looked already was it acceptable for a husband to beat his wife in those times? [17:26] Gloriana Maertens: yup. Ye old rule of thumb. [17:27] Edenz: Yes I think, like Gloriana, it was not a crime [17:28] Seras Tearfall: indeed, rule of thumb was the husband should not strike his wife with a cane of anything bigger than the width of his thumb. Any disfigurement would be a death and other wise it is a fine and service mostly. Though if continued there is a fast seperation option for the wife as well as the husband might need to watch his back if word got around. [17:31] Seras Tearfall: K so next is what most of the crimes are Assult. Can be done by hand, weapon, firearm, or magic all possibly end you up in the jail. and all are fines, jail time, and service. But tell me is it illegal for a vampire of other blood drinking creature to feed? [17:31] Lourdes Denimore: its ok if its consentual [17:31] Bunny Allardyce: if the victim is willing, no [17:32] Seras Tearfall: exactly as long as the person is willing no big deal even if you are out in public, though that may invoke the wrath of the vampire law by breaking the masquerade. [17:33] Bunny Allardyce: so wut about vampire's ability to enthrall people? [17:34] Seras Tearfall: that is to enchant them correct? [17:34] Bunny Allardyce: enthrall, control them, basically hypnotism [17:35] Seras Tearfall: all good, not really causing them damage, as long as you do it subtly and no one sees you do it cant really have any legal ramifications [17:36] Bunny Allardyce: but if caught, it would be illegal, no? [17:38] Seras Tearfall: K next is theft. they have to pay back what it was worth and do community service, equal to one hour for every 50 coins it was worth [17:38] Bunny Allardyce: if they're caught [17:39] Bunny Allardyce: or can you just accuse someone? [17:39] Seras Tearfall: I do not believe it would be Bunny you did not really assult them, unless they are harmed by it, but that may be a question ofr you to icly ack the magistrate or prosecutor about [17:39] Seras Tearfall: or actually....it would be we will get to that law in a little while [17:39] Bunny Allardyce: does there have to be evidence that someone stole something, or can you just claim to have seen someone steal your stuff? [17:39] Seras Tearfall: further down the list, forgot the laws for a moment [17:40] Seras Tearfall: they can claim it but they need evidence for a trail and to get a warrant and all. Normally if there are no witnesses or evidence we can not really do anything [17:41] Bunny Allardyce: what about a false witness? [17:41] Seras Tearfall: there are skills to help with that but always an element of luck and surprise [17:41] Bunny Allardyce: or suppose you were forced to steal the things, what happens then? [17:42] Seras Tearfall: truth reading, scyring, body language... then if they have evidence against you and you have nothing as an alibi you may be taking the fall, all depends how the magistrate see it [17:43] Seras Tearfall: any further questions before we carry on? [17:43] Edenz: nope [17:44] Seras Tearfall: K next is lieing in the court of law. If you are called as a witness and you are caught in a lie you will be arrested and have to pay a fine. the amount goes up each time it happens until the forth time you are to be sent to death. [17:45] Seras Tearfall: it is called purger y [17:45] Bunny Allardyce: o.o [17:45] Bunny Allardyce: O.o [17:45] Bunny Allardyce: o.O [17:45] Bunny Allardyce: that seems a bit harsh [17:46] Seras Tearfall: hehe again how the magistrate sees it, even though it says you are to be put to death doesnt mean it will happen. We dont like killing off characters much [17:46] Bunny Allardyce: how often does someone get sentenced to death? [17:46] Bunny Allardyce: and how often do they escape :o [17:46] Seras Tearfall: I havent seen any since I have rped here [17:46] Bunny Allardyce: huh, well thats boring [17:47] Seras Tearfall: and it is hard to escape from the jail. you could ask Vicky icly about what goes into the cells [17:47] Seras Tearfall: also there are constables always there. [17:47] Bunny Allardyce: i did have a question about those constables, are they all human (not controlled by people, but human in race)? [17:48] Seras Tearfall: nope. not even all the npc constables are human [17:48] Seras Tearfall: mixed bag in that station [17:48] Bunny Allardyce: such as? [17:48] Seras Tearfall: find out icly =P [17:48] Seras Tearfall: call and st and you can rp with them whenever [17:51] Seras Tearfall: K next is Damage or trespassing on others property fines and community service. but tell me if you are running a shop and have a public business license if you have your house in the upper half is it considered a private residence then if it is in the same building? [17:51] Bunny Allardyce: should be [17:51] Bunny Allardyce: at least the upper half [17:52] Edenz: depends [17:52] Edenz: but I would think yes in most instances [17:52] Seras Tearfall: nope. if you have a public business license it counts for the whole building. So keep that in mind and may wish to hire someone to put in a larps lockable door in the upper half if that is what you were thinking. [17:55] Seras Tearfall: Next one is something we do not see much of. It is assuming power without proper appointment or elections. Say if Eden said one day "I am mayor" and just kicked in the door to the mayors manor and started doing mayor things... she would have to spend some time in the stocks for it. and Yes there is a cart with rotten cabbage to throw at people i the stocks [17:56] Edenz: LOL well I'll try and control myself and my political asperations ...or however you spell it [17:56] Bunny Allardyce: aspirations [17:57] Seras Tearfall: Next you can not buy or sell slaves in the city. Cant go and kidnap someone and turn around and sell them to Fiendish Pleasure as a new stripper. [17:57] Edenz: thank you...just as well you can't get put in the stocks for bad spelling...I'd live in the bleeding thing [17:57] Bunny Allardyce: not true, you totally can! so long as you don't get caught [17:58] Seras Tearfall: lol well that is the hard thing isnt it..never know who the government has in there pocket [17:58] Bunny Allardyce: and besides, everyone has a price [17:59] Seras Tearfall: DING DING! off topic but something that people forget is not all constables are out for the good. always a bad cop around somewhere, if you ever find yourself in a spot you can start asking around [17:59] Seras Tearfall: perhaps buy your way out of that nasty jail time [18:01] Seras Tearfall: K here is your one from earlier Bunny. It is illegal to hold one against their will by physical or magical means. [18:02] Bunny Allardyce: woot [18:04] Seras Tearfall: Something now that I feel more people should try to do: it is illegal to set fire to the city. This is quite a costly offense though it is nearly equal parts damage and fine to the city as well as community service, that is if you get out alive last one to try it met an untimely death to an angry shop owner [18:05] Bunny Allardyce: really? [18:05] Seras Tearfall: mmhmm [18:06] Bunny Allardyce: well... how would you catch someone who uses magical means to start a fire? [18:07] Bunny Allardyce: its not likely that someone would stick around after lighting the fire, so how would you go about finding the guilty party? [18:07] Seras Tearfall: you still have to be in the general area to start the fire, cant be like in the cafe and start the constable station on fire. and smoke does rise quickly and people do actually pay attention to residence when that is posted [18:08] Seras Tearfall: and if you just do it once most of the time it will not cause much damage [18:08] Seras Tearfall: that character was in 1 shop alone for nearly 4 hours to get it about half destroyed [18:08] Bunny Allardyce: i dunno, some magic fires can be pretty intense and damaging/widespread [18:09] Seras Tearfall: all up to the ST for the fire as well, need one there to effect the enviroment [18:10] Bunny Allardyce: oh right ... okay, i need to go stalk someone in town ¬.¬ see ya~ [18:10] Bunny Allardyce: thanks for the info ^^ [18:10] Seras Tearfall: K next is impeding of the law, if constable are there to do their job or collect a warrant and you stop them more than likely a target as well, most people do not know but impeding charges we do not need a warrant for [18:12] Seras Tearfall: and lastly to protect you all =) we can not keep prisoners without any hope of trial. if there are no charges we can usually on keep you for 1 day. and even if there are charges we can not keep you in jail forever. [18:12] Seras Tearfall: Any questions before we fiish up here? [18:12] Seras Tearfall: *finish [18:12] Chandra Magic: Fishing? Someone said fishing? [18:12] Edenz: Nope all good here [18:13] Gloriana Maertens: Think I'm good. :D [18:13] Edenz: LOL Chandra [18:13] Chandra Magic: Right, I'm going to get mah coffee, if we're not going fishing. [18:13] Seras Tearfall: Alright all can you make sure your meter are on and I will pass out rewards. K.D. gets an eyefull http://larps.net/lc/topic/kd-gets-an-eyefull#post-9074 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:27:46 +0000 Leigh Huet Leigh Huet 9074@http://larps.net/lc/ K.D. Silvansky takes one look. Gacks, and turns away. he hurries to the nearest wall. "Darklord forgive me from kinky old people sex.." he mutters as he all but runs at the wall. He attempts to reach for the nexus and get the hell out of there. "LET ME OUT!!!" all but screaming in horror seeing hands on old people that shouldn't be there. K.D. Silvansky K.D. Silvansky shadowsteps OUT of the house...except...he forgot one thing. Before he can get his wings out. He plummets into the water. "AAAAAHHHHHHH SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!" and a Kersplash. He surfaces and glares around. "Urgughghghhahhss.." shuddering all over. "I'm BLIND!" he yells at the house. "TOTALLY FUCKING BLIND! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT WITH ME ASLEEP IN THE CORNER!!!" the words screamed and choked around the water. Chandra Magic blinks and looks to the east. "Wait, did you hear something just now? Someone yelling to 'let..out..'.? Bah, probably nothing." Dr. Sebastion Muircastle sits up, "Kev?" he looks at Astrid, "I did not know he was still here, where was he?" He watches the man screaming as he runs into the walls rather like a trapped bird until he finally manages to regain his senses enough to cast a portal spell. "That was odd, good thing he was not in here ten minutes later" Gloriana looks up hearing disembodied screaming. She looks down at the bottle in her hand. Gloriana thrusts the bottle back at Chandra. "That's enough f'r me, I think…" she says unsteadily. Chandra takes the bottle, looks at it, looks to the east, where there was a great...disturbance, yes, disturbance in the spirutal. She rocks on her heels, looks to the east agian, then takes a long, deep pull off the bottle. "For some reason, I think I need that." K.D. Silvansky K.D. Silvansky walks up to Borris, hand clasped over his eye. "Borris..help?!!?" Kev was dripping water ALL over the place, soaked to the skin, and looking rather pathetic. A bit of seaweed hangs in his hair. He pulls his hand down and gives Borris an absolutely pathetic look. "Can I have a towel and a very very large glass of alcohol?" John "Shadow" McMullian would cry on the floor heavily.. he would crawl his way to one of the inspectors.. " please.. fetch me K.D. .. i need to talk to him... immediately.. " he says. they dispatch an officer to go retrieve Mr. K.D. Silvansky Borris would raise his eyebrow and said.."go below get cleaned I will go get clothes from your man...the one that likes the fish so much what ever you got into I am sure you will NOT do it again by the looks of ya now quite messing up my floor." K.D. Silvansky heads downstairs, splashing a bit as he moves. "Borris, I can tell you with absolute Certainty..that you will NEVER get me back into the Muircastle Residence." the words sour. "EVER." K.D. Silvansky steps out of the downstairs and peers at Borris, half glaring he mutters and hands him the coins for his drink. "Thank anything that Goudy put a towel in." he mutters. He takes his drink, and his severely injured pride, and starts towards the office, he pauses as a Constable runs up to him. "John wants to speak to you." he rubs at his face. "Okay, tell him to come to KD's office. I'm heading there now..." he shudders again as he heads out walking. "Urghghghg..Blegh." Borris would follow with his mop and said. "why I do it all the time. what did you see a little hanky panky? hell why do you think I never knock..never know what I am going to float into." K.D. Silvansky pauses, and gacks. He spits out the liquor. "BORRIS!!!" he looks at the bottle, then at the ghost. "Ughhgh..I'm going to the office..." he shudders and continues to the office and John. Borris would follow for this was too good not too..he patted his head..."awwww poor thing....want another? I could bring one back ya know." K.D. Silvansky: "Borris, I will get you a girlfriend if you please...please..leave me alone.." Borris smirked or at least that would be the emotional feeling one might get.."like what am I going to do with a girlfriend..." he rubbed his jaw as certain metaphores came to mind and cackled all the way back to the cafe. K.D. Silvansky rolls his eyes when he finds his office empty, and heads to the Constables office, he smart mouths as he walks. "I don't know, you have bones you know!" he calls after as he steps into the Constables. Meet Dtriobloid http://larps.net/lc/topic/meet-dtriobloid#post-9103 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 10:18:09 +0000 DorianThorn Resident DorianThorn Resident 9103@http://larps.net/lc/ MEET DTRIOBLOID Nothing was planned for the ten hours surrounding midnight, beginning at 7:00 pm and ending at 5:00 pm. Dire pulled out the silver chains from his knapsack, wearing gloves and being careful not to touch the silver with his bare skin. He’d locked the door to his chamber from the inside. Wrapping the chains around the chair, he set them in readiness for when he needed to wrap himself in the chains. Stripping down and pulling on a crude loincloth made out of old scraps, Dire sat down in the chair and pulled the chains around himself, his skin blistering under the touch of the chains. He locked the chains with a padlock at his chest and hid the key down behind the chair where the wolf would not notice. Dire took several ragged breaths, fighting the urge to scream as the silver chains burned into his flesh. Several moments later, moonlight shone through his window and he let out an even more painful cry. Moon-induced transformations hurt even worse than his willing transformations. From a nearby chamber, Dorian sat at his desk writing the next chapter to his novel when he heard his brother Dire's agonized cry from the next door chamber, which resolved itself into a vicious roar. Dorian felt an urge to go check on Dire but he decided against it, remaining at his seat and continuing to write. [19:05] Dire Thorn misses in performing a mental assist on themselves. [19:06] Dire Thorn struggled to maintain his sanity but he lost himself to the wolf, which struggled violently but futilely at the silver chains holding him in place. Somewhere in town... [19:21] Mateem chuffed and shook his head a bit at the squeezing, before he turned to a collection of shadows and tried to cajole them to deliver a message for him. [19:22] Mateem focuses on their expert skill of Nexology, gets a stellar success in performing a supernatural influence of 25% on the environment. Whispers filled the streets and parlors from the shadows in every corner in the realm, with a simple message, "The Potions course tonight is cancelled for the night, due to the instructor having a family emergency. [19:32] Dorian Thorn was preparing to head out to class when he heard the voices speaking from the shadows, announcing the cancellation of Mateem's class for that night. He placed his coat aside and walked to the chamber next door in Cinder's castle. Stopping outside the locked door, he whispered. "Dire, it's me. Are you okay? [19:33] Dire Thorn successfully performs a mental assist on themselves. [19:34] Dire Thorn momentarily reasserted his sanity and called out to Dorian, his voice coming out as a speechless whimper. [19:35] Dorian Thorn placed a hand against the door. "Mateem's class was canceled for tonight. I can stay with you if you'd like." He sat down outside the door. "I'm right here, all right?" A small winged creature flapped clumsily through the sky, making its way higher and higher when it noticed a floating structure hovering over the city of London. The creature felt tired - it had never flown so high before and it needed a place to rest. It flew towards the floating castle and swerved into a window, not understanding the existence of glass as it struck the closed portal. [19:55] Dire Thorn heard something strike the window behind him and let out a startled snarl. [19:55] Dire Thorn successfully performs a mental assist on themselves. [19:55] Dire Thorn despite being startled, Dire maintained his sanity a moment longer and yelped out to gain Dorian's attention. [19:58] Dorian Thorn looked over his shoulder and placed his hand on the door. "Dire, what's the matter?" [20:00] Dire Thorn struggled against his chains, barking madly at whatever was scratching at the window behind him. [20:00] Dorian Thorn stood and knocked against the door. "Dire!" [20:02] Cinder tilts her head "what’s with the noise" [20:03] Dire Thorn struggled against his chains and roared in anger, the creature outside squealing as it tried to get inside. [20:03] Dorian Thorn: "Dire's acting strange. He sounds like he's scared." [20:04] Cinder pulled a the skeleton key from her pocket she moved to open the door "stay to the side in case he pounces...." [20:05] Dorian Thorn moved out of Cinder's way and waited. [20:05] Cinder carefully put the key into the slot turning and opening the door slowly [20:06] Dire Thorn sat in the chair, struggling against the silver chains restraining him as a dark winged shape banged and scraped against the window. At first glance, it might be mistaken for a large bat. [20:06] Dire Thorn successfully performs a mental assist on themselves. [20:07] Dire Thorn was able to keep his sanity despite his frustration. He looked up at Cinder and whimpered. [20:08] Dorian Thorn pointed to the window. "What the hell is that?" [20:08] Cinder moved over to get a look at the creature with a blink "I’m....not sure" [20:09] Cinder successfully performs a physical discovery of 10% on the environment. [20:10] Dorian Thorn moved closer to the window as well. As Cinder gazed out the window, the creature let out a startled screech and flew up out of sight, but not before Cinder got enough of a look at it to see it was a small horned serpentine creature with claws and bat like wings. [20:12] Dire Thorn flinched at Cinder's proximity and felt the wolf start to reassert its vicious personality. [20:12] Dire Thorn successfully performs a mental assist on themselves. [20:13] Dire Thorn bit into his own arm to keep himself under control. [20:13] Cinder blinks slightly "oh wow....." shakes her head a bit before quickly heading out of the room and tossing the key to dorian "may want to lock him back up for now" [20:14] Dorian Thorn hurried after Cinder. "Don't worry, Dire, we'll take care of this," Dorian said before he pulled the door closed and locked the door. [20:14] Cinder " follow me once your done" quickly ran up the other set of steps [20:15] Cinder stopped, looking around for it now closely [20:15] Cinder critically misses in performing a physical discovery on the environment. [20:15] Dorian Thorn came up the steps with Cinder. "What did you see?" [20:18] Cinder "it was a winged serpent...."looking around for it” [20:19] Cinder successfully performs a physical discovery of 8% on the environment. [20:20] The baby dragon flew about the air in exhaustion when Cinder caught sight of it, trying to make its way up to the top of one of the towers. [20:21] Cinder points as it disappeared out of sight "come on" hurried to the tower [20:22] Dorian Thorn hurried after Cinder to the top of the tower. [20:23] The baby dragon flapped weakly until it came to the top of the tower, let out a pitiful whimper and slowly fell from the air to the hard floor below. [20:23] Cinder squeaked and seen it fall quickly moving to catch it [20:24] Cinder gets a stellar success in performing a physical grapple of 17% on the environment. [20:25] The baby dragon would fall into Cinder's arms like a rag doll, its breaths quick and weak like a kitten's. [20:27] Dorian Thorn stared at the creature in Cinder's hands. "What on earth is that?" [20:27] Cinder held the dragon close to her to keep it warm "......a dragon...just a hatchling..." [20:28] The baby dragon would begin to stir as Cinder warmed it, opening its eyes and regarding her curiously. [20:29] Dorian Thorn moved closer and looked down at the small creature. "That's a dragon?" he asked in amazement. [20:31] Cinder nods " it is...."looking down seeing it was waking up " let’s go downstairs where its warmer...its freezing on my skin...and that’s not good" [20:32] The baby dragon noticed the smoke rising from Dorian's pipe and perked up a little, trying to crawl from Cinder's arms for Dorian. [20:33] Cinder opened her arms a bit for it to climb over [20:33] The baby dragon made a giggling noise and leapt at Dorian. [20:34] Dorian Thorn cried out in surprise as the infant dragon launched itself at him. He tried to catch it. [20:34] Dorian Thorn gets a stellar success in performing a physical grapple of 11% on the environment. [20:35] Cinder laughed "seems to like you" [20:36] Dorian Thorn caught the infant dragon, which crawled up his chest like a monkey and positioned itself on his shoulder, sniffing curiously at his pipe. It pointed at the pipe with its front paw and then looked off towards the sky. [20:36] The baby dragon released a stream of fire from its mouth, the flames pointed harmlessly into the air where they quickly dissipated. [20:38] Dorian Thorn jumped slightly. "Bloody hell!" [20:38] Cinder snickers " nice..." held out her hand to see if she could pet it [20:40] The baby dragon clung affectionately to Dorian's shoulder but rubbed its head against Cinder's hand. [20:40] Dorian Thorn successfully performs a physical harm on Cinder. [20:40] The baby dragon didn't realize about its horns and pricked one of Cinder's fingers. [20:41] Cinder felt the small prick with a tiny wince pulling her hand back slowly and watched it bleed for a moment before licking the blood away with a shrug [20:42] Dorian Thorn noticed Cinder's finger and reached out to inspect it. "Oh no, are you all right?" [20:42] The baby dragon looked from Dorian to Cinder, not understanding what had happened. [20:44] Cinder nods " yeah I’m alright just a small cut from one of its horns...no big deal" pulled her finger from her mouth to show it as it had already started to heal [20:45] Dorian Thorn stared at the creature on his shoulder. "What on earth does it want with me?" he asked blankly. He began to head down the stairs as Cinder had advised, sensing the creature shivering slightly against his shoulder. He walked rigidly down the steps, pausing whenever the creature moved. [20:46] Cinder follows him down " i think....it thinks you’re a dragon because of your pipe" [20:48] Dorian Thorn paused outside his chamber and removed the pipe from his mouth. "Let's see what his reaction is," he suggested. [20:49] Cinder watched to see what the lil one would do now that the pipe was gone [20:50] The baby dragon watched as Dorian took his pipe out of his mouth and leaned out to sniff it. It reached inside its own mouth but couldn't seem to find anything that was supposed to be pulled out. It coughed and snuggled down into the satin of Dorian's shirt and vest, its shivering having subsided a little. [20:54] Cinder smiles " yeah it definitely likes you ...." [20:55] Dorian Thorn ran his hand along the dragon's back, careful not to tip it off his shoulder. "It's almost like a cat or dog. I always thought dragons would be - I don't know, a bit more wild." [20:55] The baby dragon yawned and curled up against Dorian's cheek, wrapping itself with its wings. [20:56] Cinder smiles " well its young...i dont think it knows any better right now" [20:57] Dorian Thorn smiled, the little creature beginning to tug on his heart strings. "What are we going to call you, little one?" [20:59] Cinder smiles " I would say trouble....." [21:04] Dorian Thorn laughed. "Trouble, eh? You know, the Irish word for trouble is dtrioblóid." He looked at the dragon and smiled. "Is that your name? Dtriobloid?" [21:07] Dtriobloid swallowed a little in his sleep before mumbling the word in an almost human sounding tongue. "dtrioblóid." [21:08] Cinder blinks ."it speaks...." [21:10] Dorian Thorn raised an eyebrow. "Konstantine Shadowsong did say dragons had their own language. Perhaps they can learn ours as well." He lightly stroked the infants shoulder with his finger. "Dtriobloid it is, then." [21:14] Cinder nods " i think the name fits him well...and he seems to like it as well" [21:15] Dorian Thorn glances up at Cinder. "Konstantine also told me that dragons were mortal enemies of demons, yet Dtriobloid seems to like you well enough." [21:20] Cinder tilts her head " I’m not sure dragons are usually considered good creatures" [21:21] Dtriobloid: "Dragons..." [21:22] Dtriobloid: "Good..." [21:24] Dorian Thorn smiled. "At this rate, he'll have a vocabulary even more sophisticated than mine in less than a month," he chided. Dorian frowned. "Where do you suppose his parents are?" Dorian paused. "And can we be sure it’s a male?" [21:27] Cinder tilts her head " I’m not sure....one this young as far as I knew shouldn’t be on its own yet...." snickers "as far as it being male....I’m not sure...it sounds male" [21:29] Dorian Thorn clears his throat uncomfortably and gingerly lifts the napping dragon's tail, craning his back to take a quick cursory examination. [21:30] Dorian Thorn successfully performs a physical discovery of 7% on the environment. [21:30] Dorian Thorn took only a second to look and lowered the tail. "Yes, it's a male," he said, coughing awkwardly. [21:33] Cinder laughs " think we should show dire so that he is not freaking out anymore on this?" [21:34] Dorian Thorn nodded. "Perhaps you're right." He lead the way to Dire's room. He took out the key and unlocked the door. Heading inside, he peered cautiously at Dire to see if he was still stable. [21:35] Dire Thorn looked up as Dorian and Cinder entered. [21:35] Dire Thorn successfully performs a mental assist on themselves. [21:36] Dire Thorn kept the wolf's insanity in check as he stared at them, his bright blue eyes widening at the sight of the dragon perched on Dorian's shoulder. Despite being in control - at least for the moment - he let out a suspicious growl. [21:37] Cinder moved over to dire slowly he seemed stable enough to approach him " it’s alright....he is young....it’s a dragon..." [21:38] Dorian Thorn nodded, gently petting the creature. "We're calling him Dtriobloid." [21:39] Dire Thorn stopped growling and regarded the dragon more calmly. [21:40] Cinder reached up and gently scratched behind Dire’s ears [21:40] Dorian Thorn frowned. "Cinder, that might not be wise. His control comes and goes." [21:41] Dire Thorn purred a little at Cinder's touch but then jerked his head away, shaking his head in a negative gesture as another surge of madness threatened to overtake him. [21:41] Dire Thorn misses in performing a mental assist on themselves. [21:42] Dire Thorn let out a hideous snarl. [21:42] Cinder stood there but held her ground when he snarled putting her hand back to her side [21:43] Dtriobloid was stirred by the sound and looked up, seeing Dire and letting out a terrified cry. [21:44] Cinder looked back at the lil one " it’s alright calm down..." [21:45] Dire Thorn turned to the dragon and roared, yanking at his chains despite the painful burns that were causing them to stick to his flesh. [21:46] Cinder frowns slightly watching them [21:47] Dtriobloid looked back between Cinder and Dire and let out a stream of fire at Dire. [21:48] Dorian Thorn successfully performs a physical harm on Dire Thorn. [21:49] Dtriobloid lit Dire on fire. [21:50] Dire Thorn roars in fury and began to scream, his wolfish voice actually forming words momentarily. "It burns!" he said in a gravelly bestial voice. [21:51] Dorian Thorn cried out in horror and began to rush at Dire to assist him. [21:54] Cinder eyes glared at the dragon quickly before turning to dire attempting to use the shadows to put him out quickly [21:54] Cinder focuses on their legendary skill of Nexology, successfully performs a supernatural assist on Dire Thorn. [21:56] Dorian Thorn skidded to a stop when he saw the flames being extinguished by Cinder's magic. [21:57] Dire Thorn gets a stellar success in performing a mental assist on themselves. [21:58] Dire Thorn regains himself as the flames were extinguished and he leaned back in his chair, allowing his Lycan body to heal itself of the fire, though perhaps more slowly than other injuries he's sustained. [22:02] Cinder turned to the dragon and glared "bad Dtriobloid....." [22:02] Dtriobloid huddled on Dorian's shoulder, trembling so hard that it felt like Dorian's arm was being vibrated out of its socket. [22:02] Dorian Thorn stared at his brother in shock. "My God, Dire, are you all right?" [22:03] Dire Thorn nodded, giving Dorian a weary smile before turning a furious - and perhaps murderous glare at Dtriobloid. [22:04] Cinder moved over and wrapped her arms around dire gently not caring for her own safety for the moment [22:05] Dire Thorn successfully performs a mental assist on themselves. [22:05] Dire Thorn leaned his head into Cinder, controlling himself for the moment. [22:08] Cinder smiled a bit and cuddled him slightly [22:08] Dorian Thorn gently removed Dtriobloid and carried him to the door, setting him down. "Don't move!" he said angrily. He turned around and hurried back, placing his hands on Dire and quickly infusing him with power to speed up his healing. [22:08] Dorian Thorn performs Insurge on Dire Thorn. [22:09] Dire Thorn moaned a little in relief, giving Dorian an appreciative wolfish smile. [22:14] Cinder smiles as dire was feeling better now and not as patchy with the flame spots [22:15] Dire Thorn leaned over and licked Cinder's cheek. His eyes then filled with panic and he pulled away from her, jerking his arm and gently pushing her back as another wave of madness threatened to overtake him. [22:15] Dire Thorn gets a stellar success in performing a mental assist on themselves. [22:16] Dire Thorn sighs as he successfully suppresses the madness and points toward the door, chuffing at Dorian and Cinder solemnly. [22:17] Cinder was pushed back but took a step forward again kissed his cheek before she would move back to the door [22:17] Dorian Thorn gently gave Dire a hug before following Cinder to the door. He locked the door behind him with the skeleton key and picked Dtriobloid off the floor, positioning him on his shoulder before leaving Dire's bedroom. [22:19] Dorian Thorn followed Cinder to her bedroom door but respectfully remained at the foot of the steps leading up to the door. "Cinder, are you all right?" [22:19] Cinder nods " yeah I’m alright....just needed a moment...I don’t like seeing him like that" [22:20] Dorian Thorn nodded sadly. "I know what you mean." [22:20] Dtriobloid hid behind Dorian's shoulder, peering at Cinder in fright. [22:21] Cinder gives a lil growl to the dragon not happy with him at all [22:23] Dorian Thorn also gives Dtriobloid a hard glare. "I'm not happy with him either but, this time at least, perhaps we can forgive him? It is my theory he thought Dire was trying to harm us." [22:31] Cinder frowns " i suppose so....but if he wants to stay he cannot do that again..." The Keeper Comes http://larps.net/lc/topic/the-keeper-comes#post-8712 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 07:36:57 +0000 Gloriana Maertens Gloriana Maertens 8712@http://larps.net/lc/ [21:20] Gloriana Maertens bursts out her flat clad only in bandages and her night gown and bends overs as another violent coughing fit wracks through her. When she recovers she removes the handkerchief from her mouth and peers out into the darkness. She blanches as she catches sight of Fiendish Pleasures. [21:35] Gloriana 's heart pounds hard within her chest as she glances about, taking note of her surroundings. Not seeing any immediate danger she calms slightly as another cough shakes her frame, and she winces as the movement shifts the bandages on her back. She takes a hesitant step forward, and then another, and then starts to run towards the entrance of the club as she realizes someone might be inside and hurt. "Hallllloooo!" she calls out. "Is anyone there?" [21:39] [ The area seems to have a sense of eerie, lonely abandonment that only the aftermath of a disaster can Invoke. It does seem as though there had been efforts put forth to put out the fire, and all that remained was the smoke yet to clear. As she nears the front, she may be able to see that the smoke was coming from a window that had melted. ] [21:43] Gloriana slows as the debris on the ground starts to become thicker, blackened beams and soggy, charred detritus littering the cobblestones. She lifts the hems of her night gown, still coughing , and calls out again but only silence returns. Ahead she sees a denser cloud of smoke and starts to move towards it, but stops, seeing a charred husk just ahead in the road. "Oh, God…" she breathes, and clamps her hand over her mouth to try to control the revulsion that instantly appeared. [21:45] [ So utterly charred the body was, that it would be difficult to ascertain anything about the identity of the form from this distance.] [21:47] Gloriana is shivering violently, and it's not the cold now that's causing it. "Not again," she whispers to herself, "Oh sweet God, please…" Her weakened body is racked suddenly as the repulsion rips through her. [21:48] Gloriana misses in performing a physical assist on themselves. [21:53] Gloriana manages, just, to turn before she heaves the contents of her stomach into the street; the drugs the doctor at the hospital had given her to sleep mixed with the stench of burned flesh was too much for her to overcome. But at least she wasn't facing the ….thing… anymore. As the dry heaving slows, she raises her arm to her mouth and wipes it, sniffling, and raises her eyes to the heavens as if begging for strength. The look of guilt on her face is piteous, but she steels herself to look again. [21:53] Gloriana misses in performing a mental assist on themselves. [22:03] Gloriana can't bring herself to look. She pushes her arms out as if to ward something away, her breathing becoming more ragged. And the streets are abandoned, and nothing but smoke fills the air, but she sees something in the darkness and shakes her head, petrified. "Tol' you it would happen, I did," she whispers hoarsely. "Tol' you it would happen again if'n y'didn't take the right -steps-." She opens her eyes and looks out blindly. "The girl can't control it, y'made sure of that and now you're surprised when she fails? Th' fuck were y'thinkin' man?" She tilts her head in a near-predatory manner and looks around the streets in anger. [22:09] Gloriana 's eyes catch focus on the body and she stares down at it dispassionately, stubbing at it with her hoof. And then kicks (at) it. "-That- for your damned meddling," she hisses, and then looks down in cold observation, attempting to determine who it is. Not able to recognize the figure as anyone from the Asylum she moves forward, steps steady, to examine the plume of smoke billowing from the window. [22:10] Gloriana misses in performing a physical harm on the environment. [22:22] Gloriana inches slowly towards the window, raising the handkerchief to her mouth. "Anyone in there?" she calls out in a strident voice, waving her free arm to attempt clear the smoke so she could see inside. [22:31] Gloriana steps back, seeing nothing, and no movement inside, removing herself to a more smoke-free air of the street, She sighs and pauses for a moment, and then closes her eyes and shakes her head as if to clear it. After a time opens her eyes again, and they are glowing slightly. [22:40] Gloriana starts to shiver from the cold. Slowly the anger dissipated from her and she looked, really looked now, at her surroundings. "T'hell is this place?" she mutters. "This ain't the Asylum. Not at all…." She furrows her brows in disgust. "Damned girl's got herself in to a right pickle this time." Drawing from within, she attempts to access the pool of memories she and the others shared between them. [22:42] Gloriana gets a stellar success in performing a mental discovery on themselves. [22:52] Gloriana tilts her head as the mental images of Gloriana's past days in Legacies come flooding in, eyes flickering at the different scenes; sorting them, cataloguing and shifting them around. At one point she lifts her hands to her ribcage and grimaces. "……oh, f'r fuck's sake," she says finally, her voice softening. "An' I've been asleep the whole time, the poor girl." She sighs now and takes stock of what's around her: the smoke filled building, the corpse. She shakes her head: not her problem. Shifting to the bandages lining her neck and trailing down her back, bite marks on her neck, the hooves, the tail, the ears, all of it. These come under close scrutiny. "An' it wasn't supposed to happen like this, not at all… damned fucking doctors and their stupid tests." She starts to move back towards Gloriana's flat, stomping as she goes in anger. "Let's get you to bed, little girl. We got's some cleaning up to do, I see that now…."

He slowly nods.. and starts to work.. slowly putting everything together. He attempts to make the first pair of legs.

He would finish that pair of legs and wipe his hands off on his shirt, getting the sweat off. He would look at the other set, "Let us see if I can get the last pair set."

[14:51] The Tinker focuses on their expert skill of Clock making, successfully performs a physical presence of 10% on the environment. [15:08] The Tinker would feel a slight burning as he slowly finishes up the last two pairs, "Well... these hands did good work today..." He looks upon the nearly completed clockwork spider.. his eyes blinking a bit... flickering between the design and the spider. He would slowly nod, "Almost..." He would look underneath the workbench, pulling a small drawer out. He pulls a crystal out and looks to the body of the spider. He nods a bit, the crystal being a good size. He looks back to the spider and then looks for the mainspring. He picks it up and places the crystal and the spring side by side. He holds his hands over each and slowly starts to focus, He attempts to call forth energy rom within himself, attempting to breing it to his hands.

[15:54] The Tinker focuses a new skill of Transmutation. [15:54] The Tinker focuses on their skill of Transmutation, successfully performs a supernatural presence of 7% on the environment. [16:03] The Tinker would watch the spring and crysta glow a faint grey, the color of his own magic. He would slowly nod s he sees the spring wind.. and then unwind, wind then unwind. He would tap them both to stop it for the moment. He would then look to the spider and where the main spring would go, "Placement..." he would then get to work, attempting to place the main spring in along with the crystal.

He would look it over briefly before looking to the small crystal, "Now.. the last bit..."

It jumps off and starts exploring the building only. 2012, Jan 25 Larps HUD Class http://larps.net/lc/topic/2012-jan-25-larps-hud-class#post-9094 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 23:40:37 +0000 Keighvin Silvansky Keighvin Silvansky 9094@http://larps.net/lc/ [14:33] Kev: Okay, welcome to Larps Basic, For those of you who do not know me (hi Chandra!) [14:33] Kev: My name is Kev. I have the honor to be a Legacies Storyteller [14:33] Victoria VanTasselVictoria VanTassel doesnt know Kev at all [14:33] ChandraChandra waves her hand! [14:34] Kev: Today's class will be about the Hud and how to use it--because it can be confusing if you don't know. First make sure that your not ooc please, you can click the blank part of your hud, and turn it on and off from the menu button. [14:35] ChandraChandra nods and is on. [14:35] Kev: Okay at the top of your hud, you will see something that says Health. This is how much health you have, when you become damaged, this number drops. When it hits 0, you are defeated. [14:36] Chandra: Right, had that happen to me while mugging zombies. [14:36] K.D. Silvansky : ((Keighvin Silvansky is in StoryTeller mode.)) [14:37] Kev: You gain life by roleplaying, and doing quests, as well as NPC killing. These all give you experience points, which lets your health rise. [14:38] Kev: You gain the life by leveling on your character. Now if you would for me click the empty spot between the blue dice and the word target. A menu should come up [14:38] Kev: This is the main menu. Hi Serenity! Come on in [14:38] Serenity: hi Kev [14:38] Chandra: Yay, another victim! [14:38] Kev: Here you can watch your Level, Power, Money and Experience points. [14:39] ChandraChandra goes clicky click and nods. [14:39] Victoria VanTassel: question. Is there any sort of chart at what number do you level up? [14:39] Kev: not that I'm aware of Victoria, the levels only matter in that your stats rise and that you gain new abilities as you level. [14:39] Serenity: Hi Chandra & Victoria 【ツ】 [14:39] Victoria VanTassel: Hello Serenity [14:40] Victoria VanTassel: thank you Kev [14:40] Chandra: That, is a good question and I've wondred that, but then, I realized it only matters in the case of mugging zombies, so. I stopped worrying. [14:40] Kev: Now I'm sure you have all seen the "Strength" right next to the health- does anyone know what Strength is? [14:40] Chandra: Your tiredness level type thing. [14:40] Chandra: I think. [14:41] Kev: Very good Chandra, It is how much your body can handle. For instance if your fighting zombies, try to move around as little as possible--the more you move the more exhausted you will be. the lower your strength drops. When your strength is gone, your life will come off all the faster. [14:42] Chandra: Yeahm it starts eating at health and life and I've found my strength drops like a freaking stone. [14:42] Kev: *nod* [14:43] Kev: The next statistic we're going to look at is the Life. As you can guess, this is the points until your character dies. And yes, if something hits you hard enough, it can do this. For instance, the ice golems killed me. it's what I get for picking on them. [14:43] Kev: *laugh* [14:43] Chandra: Big bully. D: [14:43] Victoria VanTassel: lol [14:43] Kev: However this is not a permadeath. It's a temporary death. [14:44] Kev: and if your npc farming [14:44] Kev: that's different *laugh* [14:44] Kev: Now next to this is Hunger. Can anyone tell me how hunger works? Premature Aging http://larps.net/lc/topic/premature-aging#post-8955 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 17:46:40 +0000 Astrid Floresby Astrid Floresby 8955@http://larps.net/lc/ 1/15 Astrid Muircastle rolls over in bed as she awakens. She stretches her arm to reach for her husband, her eyes opening as her arm falls to the bed. She frowns, unsure if he even came to their bed after last night’s unfortunate.... unfinished ending. She sighs heavily and climbs out of bed wrapping her house dress around her form. Dr. Muircastle sits at his desk, working, he had left the house before dawn unable to sleep after last night's debacle. Rolling weary shoulders he looks at the clock and rises stiffly, surgery in 30 minutes and he needed to see the patient again. Stepping in to the hall he notes the startled look of Alfred and raises a brow thinking he must have caught the man doing something he should not have. He gives him a stern look, never hurt to let them think he knew all. Heading to the OR he notes several staff staring at him. Checking his fly he shrugs and leans heavily upon his cane, God his leg hurt today. ********* Dr. Sebastion Muircastle chuckles softly, "no love I am truly grateful, I do not know why I am so exhausted" Astrid Muircastle frowns, "Has anything else felt differently lately?" She hesitates then hands him the small mirror from her vanity. Dr. Sebastion Muircastle takes the mirror giving her an odd look, "time to trim my nose hair again?" Astrid Muircastle shakes her head but remains quiet. She leans forward to pour two cups of tea. Astrid Muircastle focuses on their skill of Table manners, successfully performs a physical presence of 6% on the environment. Dr. Sebastion Muircastle giving her a bemused look, he raises the mirror to his face and stares long into it. He blinks, lowers it, then looks into it again. When he finally speaks it is in a strained voice barely audible over the crackle of the fire............."What in bloody hell is happening to me?" Astrid Muircastle frowns and shakes head, for the first time that night her eyes tell him how scared she is. "I don't know love... that is... that's why I asked you." Dr. Sebastion Muircastle picks up his tea, the cup clattering on the saucer as his hands shake. Seeing her face, that look in her eyes. He closes his eyes briefly taking a deep breath. "This is not natural Astrid, something is causing this. I do not know what to do......."

"What has happened to Vedis?" Victoria VanTassel quickly noticed the power was off on the cell and not to power on the other sighing faintly as she stepped forward attempting to fix the matter herself. Victoria VanTassel successfully performs a physical presence of 6% on the environment. K.D. Silvansky "We do not know Sire..Victoria has not been to the office as she was resting and exhausted, to my knowledge. You will have to ask them what happened." the words a quiet murmur. Madame Vedis Seid uncurls fully from John, her movements slow, tentacles to chilled to flow smoothly about her. She pulls herself to her feet, turning to face her Sister. She flinches as the power ripples through the bars once more, stretching her jaws her teeth snap shut. "Ghost." she murmurs, "Attacked the Jail...made it...uncomfortable." she sighs and looks away. Lady Leigh Luv raised her eyebrow.."well that is different have the constables been able to give you what you need?" there was true concern in her voice. Patch remained silent as he heard them speak, keeping his eyes on Madison when he didn't have them closed to try and stave off his anxiety. Victoria VanTassel nodded faintly "Reverend George..." seeming to tense in anger "Constable Mac sent a report in to me I only received but a short time ago, Mac stated the reverend seemed to die and was sent to the morgue. I need to speak with him and investigate this body soon." as she spoke Victoria moved to the center cell power and attempted to turn it to full power. Victoria VanTassel gets a stellar success in performing a physical presence of 17% on the environment. Madison Smythe wordlessly kept an eye on Patch as well, leaning as close to the bars as she could stand, the hairs on her arm prickling up at the charge of the nearby bars. Madame Vedis Seid steps closer to the bars, her dark eyes empty, the flesh around them cracked though it was no where NEAR as bad as it had been, the bars throwing shadows over her face, "I'm hungry." she murmurs, voice dark, her hand lifting to hover over the electrified metal, "And I really....REALLY hate cages..." the power tingling in the palm of her hand and her tails flick twice, tempted to grab the bar, and her hand trembles to control the impulse. She grits her teeth and drops her hand, clasping them behind her. "Lovely to see you as always Sister Dearest." she whispers. Dire Thorn heard the mention of a reverend dying and stood up. "Uh, excuse me," he called awkwardly. "Did you say a Reverend died? I only ask because I saw a reverend die some weeks ago and then come back to life. I don't know if it's the same man, though. Thought you might like to know." K.D. Silvansky his arms cross, remaining silent, his gaze fastening on the electric knobs that controlled the cells, his expression is blank, his eyes too expressionless, waiting for the High Magistrate to call upon him for the charges. Lady Leigh Luv looked down her hair coming into her face she closed her eyes as this was not easy for her. "I wish the circumstances were better dear sister but you know I am bound by the laws of the realm and must follow them." she looked between then each of the cells noticing that two were sleeping. 'well I was hoping everyone would be a wake" she then would seem to stand taller it was as if a switch had been turned off and said. "Lord Silvansky what are the charges?" Victoria VanTassel turned hearing Dire as she sighed "Well glad you can hear everything out there, but yes I investigated into that death, he did it to himself, and perhaps this time he may stay it. I have had multiple reports come up on the man as well as a nasty run in with him myself." then hearing Leigh as Victoria drew silent and looked quite stoic. Madame Vedis Seid inclines her head to Leigh, hands going wide in acknowedgement of her duties. She lets her hands fall to her lower back once more, gripping them tight to keep them from shaking, she rests her tails on John's shoulder her head healed high as she waits. Listening for sounds from Patch or Usagi. Dire Thorn winced. "Sorry, I didn't mean to eave's drop. I'll wait outside, give you all some privacy." K.D. Silvansky his voice was deep, event, blank. His gaze the same, his gaze finally sweeps towards those within the cells. "The Prosecution at this time requests the charges as such, High Magistrate. "Upon Madame Vedis Seid, impeding a Constable while Carrying out a Warrant, Assaulting with Magic Against Two Constables." the words blank. "Upon John McMullian, Impeding a Constable while Carrying Out a Warrant, Assault with a Weapon Against a Constable." his voice continues. "Upon Usagi Impeding a Constable While Carrying out A Warrant, Assault with Magic against two Constables.." his gaze moves towards Patch, and he actually bows his head. "Upon Patch, Impeding a Constable While Carrying Out A Warrant, And Murder." The words simple. Tired. Cold. Patch let out a small sound as his charge was read, hands clenching into fist as hearing it from another brought back the severity of his action. He'd feel his heart stop once more, the scene playing in his mind yet again to torment him. Madame Vedis Seid closes her eyes and lets out a long slow breath, unmoving otherwise. The sound from Patch breaking her heart, and still she stood unmoving, letting the words roll over her. Lady Leigh Luv lowered her head hearing all the charges she first looked to Vedis and said, "this is not a trial only for your words to state guilty or innocence...How do you plead Madame Vedis?" Madame Vedis Seid opens her eyes and lifts her gaze to Leigh's, empty, echoing her own, "Guilty." she murmurs. Lady Leigh Luv then turned her attention to Patch and said. "Patch the same for you this is only to determine how you plead. Guilty or innocent." Patch kept his head low as he took a slowly breath. He'd turn his gaze to Maddison once more, an apologetic gaze that would linger till he finally turned his eyes to Leigh, "....Guilty..." would be all he would say. K.D. Silvansky his eyes close, almost in pain, his head bows slightly. He reaches with a hand to cover his face momentarily. Tsuri pushed through the door in time to hear the voice he knew all to well utter the words of guilty and he lets out an annoyed sigh as he tried to cross the room with little attention being drawn to him. Victoria VanTassel heard Patch's peal as she clenched her fist slightly before going to reach for Kev, her face looked quite conflicted with the plea. Lady Leigh Luv stood stock still she watched Patch and then to Vedis her lips pressed, she then turned her head to Kev and Victoria and then said. "do either of you have or wish for representation?" K.D. Silvansky his hand reached for Victora's as he reached for hers, his hands clench and unclench around hers. He expels a soft breath. Closing his eyes once more. Chandra Magic nods to the man passing outside the constable's office as she meanders up to the announcement board and peruses the announcements. Lady Leigh Luv closed her eyes to say she was in shell shock would put it mildly she had to restate her question..."do you Madame Vedis or Patch wish or have representation?" Madame Vedis Seid licks her lips, dropping her head. She closes her eyes hands clenched tightly behind her. She grits her teeth, "We want it over." she hisses, "We attacked the constable because we want it all OVER, Leigh." she lifts her eyes to the woman once more, a plea in her gaze, tired, and in pain, she begs for her family with everything she was, "Leigh, we wish to be left alone, we want this OVER. We have made our mistakes, let us pay our wereguild. My family is hurting, We want to go home to heal." she closes her eyes, "Please." Chandra nods to the man pacing outside the constable's office as she meanders up to the announcement board and peruses the announcements. Tsuri let his eyes venture throughout the faces in the room, pausing on Maddisons for a long moment before looking to his mistress and hearing the pain in her voice...it all made him sick and he grit his teeth to keep from screaming out at the foolishness of all this. K.D. Silvansky makes a choked noise, he turns away, covering his face. "Madame Vedis, do you understand that their is only one sentence for Murder?" the words almost choked out. Patch slowly stood to his feet as he heard Kev, slowly wiping his brow. He'd stay silent a moment longer, trying to give his heart a chance to slow itself. Madison Smythe rises from the wall. "Even in self defense?" Madame Vedis Seid turns her empty gaze to K.D. "Yes." she whispers, her voice broken, "I am aware." she lifts her chin as a single crimson tear breaks loose from her control and slips down her cracked pale cheeks. she falls silent, saying nothing more. Lady Leigh Luv said. "I have one question Vedis and I really think only you can answer this. Why? Why did you fight them over a fine..mere coins..and lack of doing community service? Do you think I enjoy sending constables to your home and business? You think that I get some sense of power over it? Because I will be clear right now. I MUST follow the law I am bound by it here Do you understand this?" she turned her head to the woman and said. "two constables walked in to serve a warrant for Gallyanna for contempt of court that was it and only one left alive..tell me how that was self defense." Madame Vedis Seid she shakes her head, "I paid her fine, her punishment was illegal to begin with. She paid her dues." she steps forward, feeling the hum of the bars against her flesh, "I had just had a man attack my home, nearly burn it to the ground, and you would take my defense, you would steal from me my ability to protect my people." she shakes her head, "No more Leigh. No more." Patch finally lifted his head and brushed his hair from his face. "It ...it was not self defense..." he’d interrupt with a soft voice. "....Your officers who were suppose to deliver a warrant..struck Galy not once..but twice. I...I acted to stop them, to try and end the situation. "he’d whisper and gently rub his arm. "...I made a misjudgment. And went to far. I plead guilty..and desire no representation..." Madison Smythe narrows her eyes. "The constables drew their blades first. And Patch.... Patch was in pain. Not thinking. Acting on sheer survival instinct... He had no intent to kill your constable." Tsuri sighs softly and mutters. "Sounds like western justice to me" he rolled his eyes and looked off to the side avoiding looking at any of the constables. "Abuse of power..." he added quietly Victoria VanTassel looked to the woman along the wall "My dear woman you may wish to study the laws, for though I drew my blades first, I did not act first before being attacked by another." K.D. Silvansky his voice is drawn. "Do and been free." he struggles to keep his composure. "Do you not understand the Laws at ALL?" he ground out. "If you felt the judgment illegal you could have appealed it. She could have paid the bloody fine within the time frame given by the court, would it have killed her to do a little community service?" the words drawn. "Do you even know what the usual sentence is for contempt of court?" he demands of those within the jail. "IT's a Damn FINE." the words harsh. "Instead Legacies has lost one of her biggest treasures...because of money." the words hard. Lady Leigh Luv: "I steal nothing Vedis, I only learned of the fire after I do not even know why he did it or who it was. but you who claim to be lawful did any of you ever come to me to appeal Artur's ruling? I cannot ACT for you Vedis when you do not come to me. I am fair I follow the law and the procedures Artur was even stripped of his magistrate duties for his behavior. I did not even like his ruling but I cannot change anything unless an appeal is done. this is not about power this is not about me this is strictly about the Law and how I must follow it. And frankly I am tired of all of it. If you want my ruling now I will give it. and it may even surprise you." Tsuri growled a little baring his fangs. "then let it be heard" he hissed. "Speak your peace instead of drawing this out....the longer those two are behind bars the more damage it does to their reputation and their pride" he growled and clenched his fists at his side. Madame Vedis Seid lifts her hands, "We do not claim defense. We do not claim justice. We claim guilt. We shall take our punishment as required by...your laws." She looks to K.D. "I know my crimes. I am Demon. I shall play Adversary if I must. So be it." she looks back to Leigh, and inclines her head, "So be it." K.D. Silvansky "Why did you not request an appeal Vedis? Why?" he clenches his eyes together. "Did you not think I would listen? That I am not bound to the law as Leigh is? That I would not do so?" Madame Vedis Seid turns dark eyes to K.D. empty of all but the soft roll of her hunger. The shear force of will to keep from panicking in the close confines of the cell. Her body trembles with it, and still she simply looks to him, his answer in her silence. Lady Leigh Luv did not turn nor say anything to the one behind her "they are not my laws Vedis but the law of this land that existed before I even came here and the laws that have changed because of precedence which I am fixing to set now. I am fully aware how all of this has escalated and it stops now. this night no more." Patch snickered suddenly and started to laugh. He'd grip his forehead and laugh a bit louder, cold and humorless it was as he shook his head, "Mistress...they speak as if you were the one to take a life y'know..." eh'd finaly sigh, "Its as if they believe you control all my actions...even the breath I take..." Victoria VanTassel kept silent as she waited for Leigh to pass judgment. Her eyes passing over the accused that stood in the cells. Tsuri took in a deep breath in an attempt to steady himself before casting a pained glance at Madison then to patch as he spoke Madison Smythe tucks her fists beneath her biceps, settling back against the brick and mortar. Lady Leigh Luv: "Madame Vedis for two counts of magical assault upon constables the maximum fine doubled to be paid 20,000 coins There is to be no community service but you are to have Galy present herself to the constables to face her contempt of court. You have only one week to pay your fines and 24 hours to have Gally in this office unless within that time you wish to still appeal upon Gally's defense." K.D. Silvansky his face stays impassive as he listens to the Magistrate's decision. His eyes lower to the floor. His fingers tight around Victoria's. Madame Vedis Seid doesn't move, she cared not about her fine. She continues to wait, unblinking....just...waiting. Victoria VanTassel kept her grasp on Kev's hand as she looked to Vedis wondering her response. Patch stood still as he heard Vedis' judgment, figuring it would not be much different for everyone else. yet his blood would run cold as he tried to keep his stance, to keep his eyes fixed upon Leigh as he awaited her judgment. Lady Leigh Luv looked then to Patch and said. "a wise little pixie in her ghost form had some very wise words. I would like to share those words with you. she said. ' Kestrel "I have spent my entire...existence bound to a being of a war and strife..and I have never understood the way that people seem to think that killing one another fixes everything..." her gaze fixes on Saerrn. "Death ....death doesn't fix things. " she gestures towards the shield "Did this fix anything for them? Did killing me..destroying my bond with the goddess fix anything for them? Would killing Galyanna have fixed anything.." she shakes her head. "Death doesn't fix..it makes it worse. Lots and Lots and Lots Worse. " her words tight. "They don't wish to be held accountable for anything....John tried to kill Victoria..and yet I'd lay all of the coin I had...that he'll never mention it...if he would have connected it would have been through her chest.." the words soft. "Luckily..she was wearing armor and he's a crap aim." the words soft. I don't understand..why..why anyone would go to such lengths...Being dead and being angry and hating are two different things.." her voice soft. "Being angry..that's natural..it's an emotion..hating..that's an emotion too..but the balance is acting on those..instead of releasing them .." her voice is soft. "People always made fun of me because of my behavior..I was pixie..nothing between brain and mouth..and it was to let off pressure....when your bound to that particular goddess you have a lot of anger..kind of comes with it.." the words bounced softly, almost echoing. "Anger and hate isn't bad.." the words amused. "It's what you do with them...personaly..I dealt with my anger and hatred in helping that long haired pointed eared bastardy hotness gain a sense of humor...and teaching Victoria how to protect herself.." Lady Leigh Luv would wait and let the words sink in with everyone in the room and in hearing distance. Victoria VanTassel heard the words as she wiped away a tear and pressed herself closer to Kev fighting the urge to sob again. Victoria kept herself silent though as she did not wish to make things worse with her emotion fueled words as she simply kept herself close to kev and looked to the floor her floppy brimmed hat covering her face from the others. Madame Vedis Seid lifts a shaky hand to the cracked flesh of her brow. Her control tentative as it was. She frowns and looks back up, hands falling behind her back once more. She says nothing, what was there to say? K.D. Silvansky covers his face with his hand, the words could only be Kestrels, his face tightens, and he nods his agreement to this words. "I have ever wondered at the Wisdom that can spring from a person with no way to hold back between brain and lips." the words soft. "Her wisdom is often overseen ...ignored...but she is right..Death does not fix things." he bows his head, nodding to Leigh. "The Prosecutor agree's with you High Magistrate. The normal charge of Murder is answerable only by Death." the words soft and hard, pained. "I do not find it fitting. Not because of a difference in the law..but because I know the form of those words..their is only one person that has ever called me that..but also because it is her wish...that Death is not going to fix this. You have my complete agreement." the words almost choked out. He reached out and attempted to draw Victoria to him. Tsuri sighed softly and glanced around the room like an anxious child waiting for something he wanted, all he wanted was to hear the judgment, all the rest was meaningless to him and he was not in any particular mood to hide it, his mistress might be getting off with a fine, but his lovely little boy might not be so lucky....he remain quiet however Patch stood perfectly still, statuesque in his appearance save for the black tears slowly rolling down his cheeks. He'd begin to quiver as he could still see Kestral's eye impaled on his blade, the shock of realizing what he had done, how deep the blade had gone. The sound it had made when she pulled off of it, that wet slick sound that burned his ears even now took his breath away as he looked at Leigh and Kev with an air of confusion. Lady Leigh Luv: "I cannot give a death sentence when I hear those words, another death will not fix anything it will only make the wound that already exist between your clan Vedis and those of the law. I will not continue to pour salt into the wound but I can set precedence I can take into account all that has happened and I can take into account what a little pixie said. I cannot however let the deed go unpunished. So this is my ruling. There will be 20 lashes with the flogger names will be dropped into a hat from your choosing and those of the constables. It will be administered privately as by the law for judicial corporal punishment. Patch will remain till as time the punishment is administered. I cannot release the other two until I hear from their own mouths their answer to their own charges. I want this city to heal I do not have the luxury of choosing which laws are just and fair, I can only follow that which is there. This is my ruling." Tsuri sighed softly and relaxed finally after hearing the verdict, a hand went up and brushed his own hair back, sliding between his horns before falling away, a smile spreading over his lips. Sure the flogging was gonna be horrible, and he'd take it easy on the boy...but it was better than death Patch let out a long sigh of honest relief before pausing. "....w-wait...uh...um.. "eh'd slowly wipe his tears away and scratch his head, "...I..will get to choose that hat in which the names will be drawn?" Madison Smythe cracks her eyes open, an eyebrow arching, her chest heaving out, then dropping with a slowly released sigh of relief... "Please allow me to add my name to the pile..." Lady Leigh Luv: "you will choose 3 names. The constables will choose 3 names...all dropped into a hat and you will pull out the name from the hat." Lady Leigh Luv: "you may also chose one from your family to be present during the punishment." Patch nods slowly and then look to Madison and the size of her arms. He'd visbly quiver in fear before shaking his head, "...I..I think I'll pass on that notion..." he'd whisper, "....still...will I get to choose which hat it'll be drawn from?....could it be Borris'?" Lady Leigh Luv: "yes it can be from Borris' hat and he can even draw the name if you would like that will be your choice" K.D. Silvansky his gaze shoots to Vedis, then to Patch. "I wish you to understand something..the only...the only reason..that I believe anyone considered something different has nothing to do with Clan Seid." the words clear as he looks around. "If I am correct, and I know that I am..for it is only Kestrel that calls me his bastardy hotness..." the words soft. "Her words even as a ghost are what is saving you from Death. Her choice. Remember that. Death is NEVER an answer.." the words quiet. "Remember that...and respect it. That is all the Prosecutor Asks." Patch nods, "I...accept this..." he'd whisper, "...and..already have the three in mind I'd like to choose..." Madame Vedis Seid lifts her hand to the bar, letting it float above the soft tingle of electricity. "So be it." she murmurs. Tension still written upon every line of her features, the pain radiating from flesh unhealed, hunger unsaited. "If we are done..." she whispers, "I would like to seek proper medical care...and dinner...I am...*desperate* for something to eat." her words come out as a soft growl, empty eyes holding on Leigh. hardly hearing anything else. Victoria VanTassel nodded to Madame as Victoria moved to the cell to turn off the electricity looking to Leigh "Her sentencing has been served correct? she is free to go herself?" Tsuri smiled wide at his mistress. "Aye...bet you are" he said softly and stepped forward a step. "Shall i escort you madam or are you able to travel on your own?" he asked smiling in pride to be able to serve. Madison Smythe clucks softly.. "There is food here." she whispers faintly, guestruring with a nod of her head towards the basket of food she'd brought. Lady Leigh Luv nodded "yes" Victoria VanTassel heard Leigh as Victoria reaches up to the electricity and attempts to turn it off. Victoria's eyes only meeting Vedis's figure for a moment. Victoria VanTassel successfully performs a physical presence of 9% on the environment. Madame Vedis Seid chuckles softly, "As much as I am sure your food is divine Madison, I am unable to injest just offerings. Or I would have fed by now." She looks to Victoria, eyes dark, "I require...Other things." she draws her eyes away from the woman to Tsuri, she waits for the doors to open before stepping out. Victoria VanTassel saw the electricity was off as she waited for a moment to make sure all the charge had left the bars before reaching down with her key and unlocking the cell and opening the bars. Stopping for a moment as she looked to Madame Vedis "Are you referring to sustenance still or are you referring to items that may have been removed before your imprisonment, mostly because Shay made no note of anything being placed in evidence." Tsuri met his mistresses blank eyes, his own narrow and mischevious knowing what she needed and being more than willing to provide her with it. The corner of his mouth twisted up in a little playful smirk and he tilted his head to the side a little to show his neck, teasing her a little. Patch would slowly sit down within his little cage and sigh, hearing the sudden change in tone form a few as Vedis was relived, smiling himself in silence. Madison Smythe whistles softly, her face flushing a bit as she turned her eyes back toward back, her heart soaring a little at the sight of his smile. " How soon can we see to carrying out Mister Patch's sentence?" Madison Smythe: "If'n it'll help speed things along.. I'd take off my belt right now."" Patch quickly shakes his head, "nnnnoooo.... "he'd whisper in a soft plea. Lady Leigh Luv: "as soon as all names have been turned in to me and arrangements made" she looked to the woman and said. "I do not believe your belt counts as a flogger." Dire Thorn stopped his pacing and sat down on the steps outside the constable's office. Madame Vedis Seid steps from the cage with a soft sigh, fingers clenching and unclenching at her side. She waves Victoria away, "I have all of the things I brought when I came." She narrows her eyes on Tsuri at his offering, twin tails snapping like whips behind her back. She turns to Patch's Cell, giving Patch a small reassuring smile. Though the emptiness in her eyes would tell him exactly what her beast had in store for Tsuri when they returned home. She turns to Leigh and inclines her head. "If we are done?" she murmurs. Patch liftedh is head to Vedis as she smiled to him, giving her a weak smile back, "...I told you...things would work out..." hed' hwisper before calling out, "...Master Tsuri?..please do take care of the Mistress for me?...and uh...come visit sometime..." Victoria VanTassel saw the wave ans assumed Vedis was done with her as Victoria leaned back down to lock the door and turn back on the electricity as John was still in the cell. Victoria VanTassel misses in performing a physical presence on the environment. Madison Smythe snorts, running her fingers across the creaked leather of her own belt.. "Perhaps not in name... But it'll cut all the same, when used right." Her nose crinkles a bit in wicked mischeif as she glances toward the Madame and her consort. "Don't ya'll take too long in turnin them names in.. Ain't no reason not to do it now, is it?" Lady Leigh Luv: "we are done. do you have enough to keep you warm till you get home sister?" she was not asking as a magistrate but as her sister the white in her hair seeming to come up further for a moment before going to just the tips. "I do know how the cold affects you." Tsuri felt a little shudder of morbid pleasure run through him and he glanced to Madison. "I'll leave patch in your care...I’m sure you'll be able to take care of our little jail bird" he grinned. "I must care for our mistress" he looked to her. Madame Vedis Seid touches the cracks around her eyes, a reminder of the chill. She chuckles and pulls her cloak from around her waist, she settles it around her shoulders and nods, "Well enough to get home." she murmurs, curling her tentacles around her shoulders to help insulate her. Her eyes lifting to K.D. before she lifts the hood, obscuring her eyes all together, only the soft cracks upon her lips exposed. She takes Tsuri's arm and steps towards the door. Victoria VanTassel saw her hand slipped from the power as she grumble slightly and wipes her hands along her pant legs before reaching up again attempting to turn on the power to the middle cell containing John. Victoria VanTassel critically misses in performing a physical presence on the environment. Victoria VanTassel saw the man stir as she stepped back slowly not realing her hand was still on the power as she cut her finger on a sharp edge of metal on the device cursing to herself lightly. Dire Thorn glanced up as the two individuals left the constables office. John "Shadow" McMullian would sturr from his sleep and look up at the crowd before him.. suddenly.. a thought came to voice " whoh.. deja vu.. " Lady Leigh Luv then turned at the voice and raised her eyebrow. "Oh good your awake 2 down 2 to go at this rate maybe Usagi will wake as well. "John are you awake enough to hear your charges?" John "Shadow" McMullian would slap himself on the forehead.. cursing himself " well that about put me in a wakeful state.. " he says, grumbling in frustration " what's on the list this time leigh ??" he says, rather pissed off, but still calm... for now.. Lady Leigh Luv raised her eyebrow she could taste the anger in him and said. "why so angry John?" John "Shadow" McMullian would sigh softly " you try waking up and being told your charged with something.. it's much like being woken up with cold water.. your bound to be pissy till you come around to it.. " he says, his anger dropping.. seeing how she could sense it like a animal could smell fear.. Lady Leigh Luv: "I can come back later if you prefer sir" Patch chuckled as he heard John's complaining and slowly closed is eyes. "there was nothing to do now but rest until the constables choose who amongst them would enter their names in the hat. (oob) John "Shadow" McMullian would shake his head " just.. tell me already.. i may be angry.. but i can't do anything about it.. and i'm not brash enough to be a idiot neither... " K.D. Silvansky looks to his Sire. "Shall I read Mr. McMullians' charges...again." Lady Leigh Luv turned to Kev her stature changing once again her small frame would seem to stand taller if possible and said "read the charges." Madison Smythe settles down into the corner. there were still things to be said... but the wern't meant for mixed company. Her eyes slit closed as she waits for the place to grow less crowded again. (oob)" K.D. Silvansky he inclines his head, his voice emptying until it was a blank thing once more. "The Prosecutor has decided upon the Charges for Mister John McMullian." the words formal and yet empty. "The charges are thus, impeding a Constable while Carrying Out a Warrant, Assaulting a Constable, only one--with a weapon." K.D. Silvansky pauses a moment. "This makes the second time he has attacked a Constable Sire." his voice quiet. Lady Leigh Luv: "what do you plead John?" John "Shadow" McMullian would grumble softly " let me guess.. i plead guilty, everything is cut and drawn.. and i could get a reduced sentence.. not guilty. and it's to trial.. i'm getting this right.. yes .. ? " he says, grumbling still... Victoria VanTassel growled slightly as she drew back from the cell "Well you seem to understand the law somewhat, perhaps if you spent some time out of a cell you could you that knowledge." John "Shadow" McMullian would hiss slightly at victoria " like i'd want to help the system ? hell.. i want to be as damn far from it as possible.. but nooo.. fate keeps throwing me the 'jail' card.. " he says, his frustration being quite evident... Lady Leigh Luv sighed she closed her eyes and wished he had been awake to hear all that was said before his contempt palpable in the air and said. "you think this a light matter John? you think that this is play time. Do you realize that if you had just let the constables do their job that all Galy would face would be just another fine? you feel that her punishment unjust or do you even know why she had a punishment to begin with. Everyone seems to think I pick and choose which laws I will follow I do not have the luxury. I am bound by them John I do not nor can I pick and choose. This is not about a vengeance to any family we are not picking and choosing who is prosecuted. ..and if you followed the law you would NOT BE HERE!!" the last words cold like a dagger. Victoria VanTassel snapped back "Yes fate caused you to try and run me through, fate made you disregard my attempt to reason with you that day. Fate is just choosing to systematically destroy you, for one that was so fond of his reputation you have been in this office in a nearly weekly basis." she stops and attempts to calm down simply stating "Guilty or not guilty?" John "Shadow" McMullian would rise up and growl aggressively " oh.. but of course.. high magistrate.. this is play time.. i get to be with all the lovely women and men and children and spin around in a circle as well all fall into pits of steel spikes.. " he sighs.. breathing heavy to control himself... " no.. i wouldn't of realized that.. but in the heat of the moment.. i was only following my orders.. to prevent her capture at any cost.. " he would grumble something about she was close to the money about the law picking.. " i'm not guilty.. " he says, giving them his final answer... Lady Leigh Luv raised her eyebrow she did move closer to the cell her voice now almost a whisper quiet and soft but it would carry about the room. "I will not defend myself to you, but I will share with you something that you need to understand. Each and every one of us has a choice in everything we do, You by your own words said I was only following order to prevent capture at any cost....those are words of guilt, and then in the next breath you seem to think I gain from the coin that is gathered last I checked I personally have more coin than the city and I could care less about it so it is not about the money John it is about the law. Law exists to protect people from getting hurt, and when others break those laws then there is a consequence for those choices that are made, If you followed orders that says you are guilty for Madame Vedis pled guilty as did Patch for murder. Now you stand there and say not guilty? You have a mind sir I suggest you use it. You have a conscious somewhere again I suggest you use it. this is not a clan war this is not one set of power against another this is about the law of this realm that I am bound to follow. So I will ask again John be careful of your answer "guilty or not guilty did you or did you not assalt an officer while they were in Fiendish Pleasure only there to serve out a warrant."" John "Shadow" McMullian would cross his arms and try to lower his already fanned temper " ma'am.. being close the money, doesn't mean your taking actually currency.. i'm surprised you were able to hear that though my own mumbling.. which to even myself is not clear... secondly.. by any means, if i had hit an officer, could mean guilt.. but obviously miss van tassle here is un marked by my blade.. although i do admit guilt to impeding her and the late kestrel's search.. which, if in my statement.. along with others.. " he would look at victoria for a moment " the warrent was failed to be produced before the actual fight broke out.. " he would look back to leigh.. " but even an attempt to assault is assault.. if i so believe.. so i change my answer.. guilty.. but, let this serve as a warning.. train your officers well.. keep their temperament under control.. lest they lose a eye.. " he says, chuckling softly as he sits down again... K.D. Silvansky goes stalk still, struggling with all his might not to lose it. His hands start to shake as he struggles to not do that which he was sworn against doing. Shaking with the pressure of it. K.D. Silvansky critically misses in performing a mental assist on themselves. K.D. Silvansky growls as he starts towards the cell...snarling loudly..his anger evident on his face. "You fucking piece of shit..." the words hard. Victoria VanTassel seemed to snap as John spoke "What did you just say to me! You are damn lucky that I cannot legally cut you from balls to brains and see what you are truly made of John. I can swear this, if you ever raise a blade to me or one of my officers again I will take it an attempt at a fatal blow and I will not hold back." As she saw Kev start toward the cell trying to restrain him knowing neither of them should do foolish things on John's behalf Victoria VanTassel focuses on their legendary skill of Wrestling, successfully performs a physical grapple on K.D. Silvansky . Lady Leigh Luv: "I would also suggest not threating an officer, as with Vedis the fine is the maximum....." she was about to continue till her head turned abruptly toward Kev she turned her head and said. "both of you OUT of here right now. there will be no threats you will follow the law or you will both lose your positions. NOW GO!!!"" K.D. Silvansky pressed against Victoria but did not fight her. Letting her hold him still. His eyes are blood red. Cold as burning ice. "I'm going to go out into the hallway..but that..sire..is ..." he shakes his head at John. "Sick." the words actually hissed. Victoria VanTassel let go of Kev as she moved toward the door speaking through gritted teeth "Very well High Magistrate." not even looking to John fearing she would not be able to control herself any further. John "Shadow" McMullian would smile and sigh softly " who's threatening? i'm mearly stating what i observed.. and the current circumstances are proving themselves as well.. " he says cooly. he would look to victoria and wink " i would not have it any other way my dear " he says, his air of calm now making it so that he was not riled up any more.. Madison Smythe slowly raises a hand to the bridge of her nose, rubbing it between forefinger and thumb. "Gods.. damn i, John.." she mumbles faintly. K.D. Silvansky kev walks to the corner, resting his head against it, trying to gain control of his emotions. He struggles with it, the raw fury pounding through his body, the black rage that made his hands shake. He attempts to force himself to calmness. K.D. Silvansky critically misses in performing a mental influence on themselves. Lady Leigh Luv: "you do not get it sir do you? you really do not." K.D. Silvansky unable to get a grasp on his emotions he snarls wildy, hunkering down in the corner and placing his hands in his hair. Then rests his head against the stone and looks down. His fingers tangling in his hair, pulling upon the strands as he tried to keep himself from going back in there. John "Shadow" McMullian would wrap his fingers and cup the back of his head " then please tell me what i'm failing to see then.. " he says, his cockiness being now high, since he was able to compromise the mental integrity of two high powered postioned people.. Victoria VanTassel looked to Kev as she was feeling the rage inside herself building as well as getting some pass from Kev as well "Love, i am going to speak with Dire, once done I was going to the boxing ring in the Screaming Banshee, I need to clear my mind in case Leigh still wishes our help. The least I could do is attempt to have a clear mind." Dire Thorn stood up as Victoria and nodded, eyes widening at Victoria's seeming anger. Dire Thorn: "Yes Ma'am" Lady Leigh Luv: "if you think you caused them to lose it because of your words and you are proud of this it is the wrong thing John and only proves to me more you have learned nothing. Because of your actions, Vedis', Usagi, and especially Patch a constable was lost. you missed her own words so perhaps I should share them with you this is the same constable that you threw against the bars causing electricity to move through her body and she was lucky she did not die then so listen carefully John because nothing else is getting through, At least Patch when facing the possibility of death he manned up and accepted gracefully..." Dire Thorn nodded. "Yes, that's fine." Lady Leigh Luv: "Kestrel "I have spent my entire...existance bound to a being of a war and strife..and I have never understood the way that people seem to think that killing one another fixes everything..." her gaze fixes on Saerrn. "Death ....death doesn't fix things. " she gestures towards the shield "Did this fix anything for them? Did killing me..destroying my bond with the goddess fix anything for them? Would killing Galyanna have fixed anything.." she shakes her head. "Death doesn't fix..it makes it worse. Lots and Lots and Lots Worse. " her words tight. "They don't wish to be held accountable for anything....John tried to kill Victoria..and yet I'd lay all of the coin I had...that he'll never mention it...if he would have connected it would have been through her chest.." the words soft. "Luckily..she was wearing armor and he's a crap aim." the words soft. "I don't understand..why..why anyone would go to such lengths...Being dead and being angry and hating are two different things.." her voice soft. "Being angry..that's natural..it's an emotion..hating..that's an emotion too..but the balance is acting on those..instead of releasing them .." her voice is soft. "People always made fun of me because of my behavior..I was pixie..nothing between brain and mouth..and it was to let off pressure....when your bound to that particular goddess you have a lot of anger..kind of comes with it.." the words bounced softly, almost echoing. "Anger and hate isn't bad.." the words amused. "It's what you do with them...personaly..I dealt with my anger and hatred in helping that long haired pointed eared bastardy hotness gain a sense of humor...and teaching Victoria how to protect herself……I told the other..I cannot give a death sentence when I hear those words, another death will not fix anything it will only make the wound that already exist between your clan Vedis and those of the law. I will not continue to pour salt into the wound but I can set precedence....and even with you from the attack on the mayor has set precedence John but this attitude is not helping you." K.D. Silvansky rests his head against the stones, he finally lets loose that which he could not show to others, black tears leaking out of his eyes, sliding down his face. His fear, his hate and anger boiling up in him. He closes his eyes as he remembered Kestrel's words. "It's not bad..the balance is acting on those, instead of releasing them.." he presses his head against the brick, and attempts to let the emotions go..to release them. The wisdom reaching down into him as the black tears rolled down his cheeks. K.D. Silvansky misses in performing a mental influence on themselves. John "Shadow" McMullian would smile at her " oh.. my actions ? i wasn't the first to draw blades.. i wasn't wrestling with officers other than that lunge, to which i sheathed my blade, seeing that victoria was already being distracted by the Madame's fire.. a crueler man would of tried to kill her then.. i dislike her greatly.. but i know she's a vampire madame.. and had she gotten out of there if i had wounded her.. to which i also wouldn't of persuaded.. she would of made it to your baths.. and healed.." he would grumble softly " ma'am.. ever since that bloody moment of that demon taking me on a joy ride and violating the mayor.. i swear since then.. you have been following me.. tracking me.. and every time i've slipped up.. i've been thrown back in here.. whether it was timing, choice or fate.. it matters not.. " he looks to the ceiling.. " a eye for a eye, makes the whole world blind.." he looks back at leigh " a wise man once said those words... meaning that death for death, eye for eye, coin for coin.. eventually everyone loses everything.. i never hated your.. or the others.. i always give people a chance to prove themselves.. but from what i've seen.. i've been misplacing my trust.. and though kestrel was doing her job.. if i were in her position.. i would expect every day to be my last day here.. if i had her job... but she did something that made me not so regretful of that push i may of done while intoxicated.. is to go behind my back and become a snake, my dear.. she imprisoned my 'sire' at the time, after i told her in confidence what had happened in that case.. and you can see why i have this attitude now.. betrayal is a strong emotion.. much like rage and intense hatred.. i know it makes it naught right.. but it still does the damned same job... " he also remembers one final quote " from the same wise man again : there are many causes that i am prepared to die for.. but no causes that i am prepared to kill for.. ' .. i am ready to die doing what i do.. but killing is optional.. and should be that way... " he says.. finally.." K.D. Silvansky closes his eyes, shaking as he failed once more. "Death doesn't fix anything. It makes it worse. Being dead and being angry and hating are two different things. Being angry is natural, hating is an emotion too..the balance is acting on those..instead of releasing them.." he struggles for that control..that balance..trying to bring them into equal with the rest of thing. "Going in there and ripping off bodyparts won't make it better..She's right..damn ..wise...fucking...pixie.." he rests his head against the stone and finally lets himself attempt to vent his pain, his fury, and his grief. The magical core inside of him attempted to similuate that which existed in his life. The black magic of the tears leaking down his face, burning a pathway through him. Not phyically, but emotionally, as he reached for the peace and balance those words could offer. "You are wise, littlest of them all. Wiser than many who have walked taller and smaller. He inhales sharply, drawing clean air into his lungs. "Ne'er do I …through all the winter long…that in the springtime will grow.." the words soft, remembered. "I am the voice of the past that will always be, filled with my sorrow and blood in my fields..I am the voice of your future..bring me your peace…and my wounds..they will heal…I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain..I am the voice of your hunger and pain…" attempting to release the emotions and calm himself entirely. K.D. Silvansky successfully performs a mental influence on themselves. Usagi yawns a loud squeeky yawn and slowly staggers to her feet... "Mehh. . . Did i miss anything.." Lady Leigh Luv just shook her head and said. "John I am not following you or as far as I know anyone else. I don't have time for it, I have a desk full of paper, I have an assistant trying to keep my appointments in order and I have those I care about that are family, that need guidance and as strange as it sounds need me, I helped you not once but twice, the first time was to bring your memory back and you puled back so fast it gave me a headache, the second I was attacked by that demon that was within you, do you think I actually enjoyed writting the warrant for your arrest? You have no idea the pain I went through to do it knowing it was wrong but by the laws I had no choice. I do know what others say about me and frankly it really doesn't matter because no matter what I say or do there is someone else saying I am corrupt because I follow the law. You have stated your guilt and I am no longer going to waste my breath. because in the end you will believe what you chose, it is quite simple really. Follow the laws of the realm and you will remain out of this cell. I know no matter what we do now you will only see yourself as a victim that is your choice. So here is my ruling for you John by your very words you have stated you are guilty this is not your first offense but this is the first that did not have extenuating circumstances. You have one week to pay your fine of 10,000 coins, You are also to serve 1 month of community service here and walk in the same footsteps of a constable as if you were one in training to see the other side that you so easily scoff The Reverend and the Kitten http://larps.net/lc/topic/the-reverend-and-the-kitten#post-9004 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 02:32:26 +0000 shadowcat1811 Resident shadowcat1811 Resident 9004@http://larps.net/lc/ Reverend George raised a brow, very slowly as it seemed to be held back by a heavy wet lock of hair sticking to it and trickling with water. He then twitched and blinked behind his glasses upon receiving some trickling water down his face. He sniffled a few times and cleared his throat once again while moving to open the doors at hearing vague distant voices echoing, however he could not hear what they spoke off. It was then he lost his patience and epically kicked the door "This is it, I shall enter!" he spoke before rushing to the next door Usagi looked up at the sudden racket.... "Hm.... Don't they usually tell you they are going to kill you BEFORE they send in the cleric?" Valene SilverPard closes her eyes and lets whatever is happening around her fade away as she satarts to faintly sing under her breath, tying in words to help put up an illusion on herself, making the eyes tha tlook upon her see her where she is, or at least attempting to, as the Reverend barges into the jail area. Valene SilverPard focuses on their skill of Illusion, successfully performs a supernatural influence on themselves. Reverend George kicked open the door before wildly straightening himself. Obviously he was somewhere tresspassing. He rythmically squelched his wet shoes to the floor before slowly turning to look around the room "Well well" he raised a brow "I wish I was here to redecorate." he cleared his throat before looking between the one of the male figures in one of his cells to drift then to the catlike woman he had beheld before and the rabbit looking one "Are they locking up animals here these days?" he muttered to himself in a grumpy deep voice before smiling rather thinly "Goodday" he bowed his head "It seems I am here to offer my services" he then slowly paced up closer to the cells, leaving wet footsteps behind him and small drippings of water from his hair and clothing Valene SilverPard hides from view. Reverend George blinked a few times at where he thought to have seen the figure of a catlike woman, however he could not see her anymore. He twitched violently before moving to rub his eyes behind his glasses Usagi simply stared back.... "Ar'nt you goingto ask me to confess my crimes, or something ?" Valene SilverPard sighs in relief as the spell goes though, leaving a thin image of herself sitting on the floor as if in a trance. Unmoving from the spot she is in, she starts a slightly different song, the energies weaving through the air as she tries to bend her power on herself, to force the charm that she wears to activate and transfigure herself into her tiny form. Valene SilverPard focuses on their skill of Transmutation, misses in performing a supernatural influence on themselves. Valene SilverPard growls as the spells fails her this time. She clenches her eyes tightly closed and forces more power into the song, trying to force the magic to go through, knowing that this would make the change more painful but not caring. Valene SilverPard focuses on their skill of Transmutation, successfully performs a supernatural influence on themselves. Reverend George looked down his clothes and rubbed his chin in a sour face. Indeed he was soaked all over, everywhere the water dripped down and that itch...that horrible irriation at his legs where his skin must be red due to the scraping of the wet sandy cloth of pants. He tensens his nostrils before straightening himself once again, then straightening his collar as he cleared his throat and twitched momentarily at seeing the woman again sitting near the cellar door. "Yes it seems I am here indeed to make you all confess, however it shan't be but pleasurable, m'am" he pushed up his glasses before attempting to pace back and forth, however his pants halted him "As a humble reverend it is my task to help your souls in anyway I can you see, perchance christianity is the only way to save yourselves" "Inspector Bip makes a tinny but deep sort of laugh. "Take a long time to listen to that ones crimes"" Usagi "What if i don't have anything to.. confess?" John "Shadow" McMullian would look to the father " and what if we choose not to believe neither, and believe we naught need saving? " he says, tossing a curious question to him.. "the metallic rumbles starts again and Inspector Bip holds his ample stomach "Whiter than driven snow, that one" and laughs again at his own joke" Valene SilverPard whimpers in pain as the transformation hits, her bones cracking and reshaping as she starts to shrink, fur splitting the pale spotted skin, the hair on her head mingling with the actual fur as her eyes shift to a deep blue color, not at all like her usual green-gold. Her spine folds and her hands become paws,muzzle elongating. The last detail apears around her neck, courtesy of the spell: A light pink collar sit around her neck, nametag upon it. She shifts from under the now discarded clothing and walks out from behind her own illusion to plop cutely on the Reverend's shoes, whimpering up at him Valene SilverPard reappears from their hiding place. Reverend George rubs his chin slowly, his finger making a rather sandpaperlike sound in its touch. He pursed his lips in thought and raised a brow as he stared straight towards the rabbitlike woman "If you speak nothing but the truth, as God is my witness. Perchance you can speak of why you are here?" he would then shift his eyes towards the figure of a man before shaking his head and make a cross with his hand "Then I hope when you stand at the gates, you can speak of why. However apart from religion I shall say it must be but a true relief to speak of one's wrongdoings" he'd then look over to inspector Bip and twitched...however fortunately the inspector seemed not to mind his barging in....however the comment about 'whiter than driven snow' made him pull a rather difficult face. A drip of sweat ran down his head down as if the man had a sudden rash and he shivered for a moment "It truly is a rather clammy and cold place here" he muttered when he felt something at his shoes, making him look down to see...a kitten Reverend GeorgeReverend George parted his mouth, staring at it dumbfoundedly Bast mrews sweetly up at him, climbing all over his shoe before she rubs the top of her tiny head on his leg, warmh generating from the small body as she pushes close John "Shadow" McMullian would look at the father and sigh " from what i've been told i have done, and what i have seen. .i regret somethings.. but now and again, i don't regret what's ive done.. " he sees val take her rather.. pocket sized form. he would smile at the little kitten, and it's adorableness.. " heh.. i can see your good with animals " he says, chuckling softly as the kitten shows it's attention to the father.. Usagi ponders.... "Why am I here... That's a bit complicated.. But in a nutshell, i will be accused of aiding and abetting a suspected criminal... They may even decide that I'm an accomplish to a murder.. Even though i never raised my hand to anyone in the entire altercation.... or more like... I am here simply because I choose not to be an agent of Leigh's dictatorship.. And instead choose to make my alliance with Clan Seid.... or it could just be that the constables want to stare at a near naked bunneh and not have to pay for that privilage." Sargeant James lears just to emphasize Usagi's point. Reverend George stared down as the cat pushed itself against his leg, his lip trembled and hand spasmed and cramped up as if the man was malfunctioning upon staring at the furry creature. He slowly moved his hand to his chest and slightly seeming to hunch over, water dripping from his moppy hair just around the cuddly kitten as he swallowed, a trickle of drool started running from his mouth then since he could not resist the strange warmth to his wet cold shivering pants, something seemed to call out to him from the distance and there was that odd rush again that almost told him to slowly move his hands to it and....."n-no I shan't" he mutter then before moving to get a vial of holy water and sprinkle it on his hands compulsively "fleas...most unholy" Usagi slowly rose to her feet, turned and flashed the constable... Usagi "There.. happy now?" Bast whines faintly and shakes herself, ridding the water that the Reverend had just spilled upon her before she clamors gracefully off of his feet and runs to paw at the door, starting to yowl loudly in protest of being trapped in the room, fur lifting up in apparent distress Reverend George looked from the man towards the rabbitlike woman then and coughed "So you claim you are not involved...and you speak of 'Leigh's'...who ever this woman might be...her dictatorship. There is not anything you are at fault at?" he spoke singsongy inbetween letting out an awkward squeak at feeling the thing Constable Uggy grunted, very orclike, and rubbed the back of his neck. "Now you know tha' aint so Ma'am. It ain't our choice to have magic clothin an the like." he eeps a little when he's flashed, and turns away, looking to Alice Jillian. "Side's, the lot of you ain't been charged yet. Don't count your..rabbits before they get chomped by the wolf." the orc sniffed a bit, turning to his paper. "Choosin to be in jail..never heard o' such things. Aye, cause that's a grand way to show someone bein a dictator." he glances at Allice once more, cheering up a bit when she smiles towards him. The tight clothing showing as he moved over to hand her a piece of paper. Reverend George "WILL YOU SHUT UP!" he yelled and stomped derangedly after he felt the small critter left his feet and took the warmth with it to yowl at the door The sargeant grins unabashed and Inspectpr Bip coughs at him loudly "Sargeant perhap you would like to catch up on some paperwork" Usagi smiled slowly... "Wolf chasing bunneh.." Madame Vedis Seid sighs rubbing the back of her neck as she wakes, "Are you talking shit again Usagi?" she murmurs, "Your not helping you do realize that yes?" she lifts her gaze to look out through the bars, sighing softly, "Who's this then?" she mutters. Usagi "Bunnhe tail flashing from sight.." Usagi "Wolf falls behind, lost." Bast looks up at the Reverend and is cats could smile, the tiny kitten would surely be doing so before it perversly starts to yowl louder, scratching at the door insistently with tiny little claws Usagi "The reverned was asking me a question.. I was simply answering... I'll shut up now." Inspector Bip jumps at the Reverends robust outburst "See here Your Reverence. There is no call for be yellin' an' stompin' on small creatures" Madame Vedis SeidMadame Vedis Seid chuckles and touches her arm with a tentacle, leaning her head back against the wall. She looks to the man, "Reverend eh?" she murmurs, she shakes her head, "This day just gets better and better." Reverend George 's lip trembles as he shifted his gaze "Truly our Lord works in mysterious ways, sometimes indeed the world around us is unfair, people get wrongly accused. Our history has been filled with these. And IF indeed you speak the truth and see you are innocent, I perchance can offer you a prayer in hope of a better future and bless you. However if indeed there IS something you are at fault and perhaps you do not wish to see it in retrospect, as the crowd didn't see upon Jesus's crucification what their wrongdoing was, it is but a sin." he spoke hastily hearing the cat yowl louder and louder Bast looks up a the dripping wet man before growling now, the pawing against he door becoming more urgent. She turns her big blue eyes to constable who had come to her defense, letting her ears droop before she gives a pathetic little whine, eyes staring unblinkingly up at him as if asking for him to let her out. Reverend George slowly saw a figure rise up at the back...stretching out something looking like sharplooking wings with bright flashing colors "o-oh my" he grumbled to himself and straightened himself once again, rubbed his hands to his soaking wet cloth "glrh" he felt that sandpaper again, right there..."yes it seems I am m'am" he adressed her and bowed his head "I am reverend George and I am here to be of service to help you through your retrospect on life and to guide you through your punishments" Reverend George turned around like a dramatic chipmunk now, his dull eyes almost flaming in anger as he stomped wildly, his wet hair following him dramatically in his movement "WILL YOU STOP IT CAT!" he then stomped over and attempted to bend over and pull up the cat Madame Vedis Seid chuckles softly, pushing herself to her feet, her body uncurling in the cage, her tentacles rippling softly along her spine. She smiles, flashing her fangs in the dim light of the cage, dark empty eyes looking him over, her hand resting on her hip, "Are you now?" she chuckles, eyes flashing, "Please Sir...Do tell me, what is your favorite sin?" her fingers lifting to flick at the buttons on her jacket, eyebrow cocked. Watching him grump with the cat, her chuckle delightfully wicked. Reverend George successfully performs a physical grapple on Bast. Bast hisses as she is picked up, wriggling around in his grip before she lashes out with her claws at his cheek, clearly not happy as she tries to scratch him Bast focuses on their skill of Transmutation, successfully performs a physical harm on Reverend George. John "Shadow" McMullian would notice the reverend loosing his cool " the little un just wants out sir.. surely you can understand what she was doin, hmm ? Reverend GeorgeReverend George just halfway pulling up the struggling kitten he turned and had it right at right spot as he looked over to the strange tentacled woman as she seemed to sway her hips and spoke near husky to him. He slightly parted his lips as he stared her down almost as if undressing here when the cat was like a storm lashing out everywhere and shot to scratch him straigh in the face "WHAAAAAA" he cried it out and bended backwards in attempting to throw the cat away. Whether it was a fail or success he landed right to the floor on his wet buttocks and reached out for his cheek where blood started to run from a fresh gash Reverend George successfully performs a physical presence on Bast. Bast goes flying as the Reverend throws her away, a loud yowl of fear and anger rips free from her mouth as she tries to turn her body in time to land on her feet and not harm herself Bast successfully performs a physical assist on themselves. Madame Vedis Seid chuckles, shaking her head, she slides her jacket off down her arms, catching it with delicate fingertips. Pale skin exposed her hunger prowling beneath her flesh, "I wonder if they have anything to eat around here..." she muses, eyes dancing amused as she watches the kitten, rolling her shoulders as she works the tension from her shoulders. Reverend George continued to stare at the woman, his brow slightly twitching and his mouth parting. He cringed a little however the cold wet buttocks hitting the floor ache was trivial to the strange yet fascinating female creature that drew his attention. Slowly his hand brushed his scratch while his other hand would support him into crawling himself forward a little, then push up slightly. There was another trickle of drool running down from his mough and he tensened his nostrils "Do they not serve any good meals in here, m'am?" he spoke in a deep voice John "Shadow" McMullian would sigh softly " i take that back.. apprently you hate animals.. yet they come to ya in flocks.. isn't that what your suppost to be good at ? taming flocks ?" he would scolf sharply at him.. Bast tries to leap onto the Reverend's shoulder, her fur on end and bristling with surpressed anger, wanting OUT of the jail Bast misses in performing a physical presence on Reverend George. Madame Vedis Seid glances between the constables, she crouches down to be on the same level as the drooling man, her smirk amused, his pale uplifted face reflected in her voidlike eyes, "Oh...I know James is a delight, but I do believe he is 'on duty' and feeding me would be...quite inappropreate." she chuckles, "Why don't you let the kitten out, and you can assist me with my....physical form...rather than my spiritual. Your sermons would do little good if I were to waste way from hunger..." she looks the man over slowly, gaze like a caress, "Don't you think?" Reverend George would shoot up and straighten himself in a quick movement, he shivered and pressed his mouth to his nose to sneeze then, his glasses nearly launching of his nosebridge as they slid down, his hair whipping before him and most likely in his shooting up and forward, the poor kitten would just miss his shoulder Bast misses him but lands, a hissing, spitting ball of adorable fluff. She stalks forward, stiff-legged and tries to sink her tiny fangs into his leg, obviously angry at the wet drooling man Bast gets a stellar success in performing a physical harm on Reverend George. Reverend George removed his hand slowly from his nose and mouth having some stretching ropes of snot to it, he'd frown deeply at taking in the sight of it hanging between his nose and hands before letting out a small "scuse me" to reach for his pocket and get out a small vial of holywater and a handkerchief. With those he'd cleanse his hands when the corners of his mouth curled up into a vile grin "I do not know what kind of whoring temptress you might be m'am, however I shall not have it. This cat obviously belongs to one of the constables, else I cannot quite explain as of why it is here unless you just gave birth to it, which wouldn't surprise me" he pushed up his glasses quickly to hide a small glimpse of his dulled eyes between his wet locks of hair "now....wait a minute" he sang softly before reaching to his other purse and getting out a chunk of bread to step over to the woman and reach it out "Now shall you confess your sins?" Madame Vedis Seid chuckles soflty, straightening, "Could be a lycan." she cocks an eyebrow, watching the man approach, she rolls her eyes and looks to Alice, "Will you let it out please, the man is obviously allergic, and doesn't seem to be set on leaving himself." she waves idly, "It probably needs to use the bathroom, I don't see any litter in here." she sighs and leans against the wall, "It's called...Succ-u-bus...Sir. I'm surprised you've not met one before." she seems unphased by him, more weary, the buzz of her hunger under her flesh doing little to ease her. Reverend George chuckled softly as he frowned at the woman "m'am...this truly is the first time instead of letting me call a woman one, the woman calls herself one beforehand. I wish you not be too hard upon yourself and hide yourself behind such a delusion. Instead embrace your inner good for truly I believe it has been given." he wiggled the bread towards her "Now I don't see the urge in...'releasing' the critter you seem to care so much about..." his lip twitched "however as you might realize this cold place does seem like a perfect box for the cat to drop and tingle" he made a cross with his hands before holding ot the vial of holywater, threatening to pop off the lid with his thumb "care to have something to drink? Truly this water is beyond pure" Reverend George stood there rather coldly, not realizing the small kitten had dove its teeth into his left wet leg. However it was now when the reverend suddenly shot forward to slam his head against the bars "glr.....gLRUAAAAAH" he cried it out before attempting to kick off the small critter that was hanging to his leg, puncturing it Reverend George successfully performs a physical influence on Bast. Bast goes flying once again, before she snarls at the uncooperative man and funs back to the door, scratching hard and and angry, her body panting as if loosing energy with the effort she is exerting. her claws, small as they are, are extremely sharp as the Reverend found out before and might leave marks in the wooden door. Bast critically misses in performing a physical harm on the environment. Bast stumbles and ends up scratching herself with her claws, drawing tip beads of blood and a pained yowl slipping free. Madame Vedis Seid sighs and rolls her eyes, turning her back on the man, she steps to the back of the cell and trails her fingers over Usagi's ear. She lets the man fight with the tiny cat, unable to do anything to help, she ignores him. Leaning against the wall, she slides down the metal and sits, letting her fingers trail across her collarbone, her tails flicking softly as her fingers curl on her thigh. Her hunger lighting her flesh softly, a gentle glow as she teases lights from her own flesh. Reverend George brought his hands to the bar, his mouth turning into a line as the woman turned her back on him....slowly he hung his head and shook it, upon hearing the cat scratching louder and louder though he turned slowly "It seems you are overwhelmed with a humble reverends exterior asw...." he stopped halfway in talking and fidgetting with his collar upon seeing the critter scratching itself. he raised a brow and trembled slightly, his eyes blinking unevenly and unhingedly behind his glasses before he spoke "It seems there are three innocents in jail. It is very unlikely, however so be it...for now" he grumbled coldly before his hands would attempt to pick up the cat once again. Reverend George misses in performing a physical grapple on Bast. Bast wiggles away from the hand that are trying to pick her up, hissing in anger as she hobbles to the side, very not amused at the situation Madame Vedis Seid closes her eyes and bunches her jacket up behind her head, watching with limited amusement. She closes her eyes and begins to slip into her trance once more. Reverend George snapped loudly at the cat now, his hair standing up in fury almost, or atleast some of it that seemed to have dried slightly "MAY THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELL YOU!" he released drops of spit and his glasses would go crooked as he almost lost his balance in jumping forward to get the cat "You SHAN'T ESCAPE!" he twitched and fumed in anger "Not YOU! This..this time I WILL SUCCEED and I shall not let you go on a destructive path. I shall TAME you and you will find the righteous path being a creature of God and God only!" he ranted zealously shaking his fists before once again....attempting to grab the cat Reverend George misses in performing a physical grapple on Bast. Bast looks as confused as a cat possibly could and again moves away from the hands, sitting on the top step and mewing at the door, as if she was asking for someone sane to please let her out of the madhouse. Her little tail twitches back and forth, the tip showing her aggravation Reverend George wiped a drop of sweat from his forehead if it wasn't still residue of water, his face started to look slightly red around the eyes hidden behind his glasses and he threw himself against the wall "truly you shall have it my way cat!" he shook his fist and huffed, then gurgled some in a strange wave of nausea, his eyes momentarily rolling to the back of his skull before he swatted himself in the face as if he had a fly sitting there and let out a strange giggle "I shall persist and shall be rewarded. In case one of the constables owns you I shall not let you run out like an idiot and bump into a carriage" he twitched before lettting out a huge battlecry and attempting to lunge at and grab the cat Reverend George misses in performing a physical grapple on Bast. John "Shadow" McMullian would sigh heavily "for pitty's sake, let the damned cat out!!!" he would cry, trying to give good sense to the father... Bast growls and leaps out of the way before turning to look at him and hisses ones, her body shaking in rage. She stamps one paw on the step before turning to glare at the door, her tail lashing faster and harder behind her Reverend George tripped over his wet shoe that slid over the cold stares and smacked straight into the stairs. He gurgled and grumbled then, shivering, then pressed his hands to his mouth and shot up in a sneeze "glrh..." Bast repeats her growl and the pointed stare at the door John "Shadow" McMullian would lookat the bumbling father and sigh " just open the door.. and let her out.. you came to do a job.. now get it done " he says, shaking his head at the shameful father.. Reverend George then tried to recollect himself after a short while, strugglng his way upwards, his facial expressions hidden by the locks of his hair, resembling a mop hanging over his face He brought his hand to the bleeding scratch on his cheek when he spasmed. It was almost as if a crackle of green energy shot down over it. He'd stomp the floor then and shivered, sniffing in a growing cold "f-fine....go and kill yourself then....you bleeding...rat" he grumlbed to himself in a rather futile sounding deep voice "However you shall let me go first" he twitched and attempted to push the kitten aside and press his feet against where he opened the door Reverend George successfully performs a physical influence on Bast. Bast moves along with the foot, settling down as the door is finally opened. As she follows the Reverend out, She cast a silent thought back at the illusion telling it, or trying to at least, to dissapear Bast successfully performs a supernatural influence of 10% on the environment. John "Shadow" McMullian would see val's clothes appear.. he reaches out between the bars and tries to bring back the clothes before anyone notices...

Reverend George huffed beneath his hair and hunched over to swallow deeply. He felt a familiar growing nausea taking over his troubled mind and brought his hands to his chest, gurgled slightly as he watched between his hair the small critter taking its leave. "damn monstrosity" he muttered to himself in an angry voice between some panting. He gurgled again and shot forward, pressing his hand to his mouth then. There was something really odd stirring at him. Something he couldn't explain as it seemed to call out, emitting the sound of throbbing in his hand. It was in a flash when his disgust would vanish as he stared down the cats small silhouette entering the vague twilight of the outside that perchance he did not want it to leave and wanted it to fill the void in his.....just at this stab of sentimentality the man would suddenly look as if blasting in a huge energy of green electricity shooting all over "glrh" he now collapsed, trickles of vomit running down his mouth, when he landed with a loud thud on the floor Reverend George: ((other language)): sens muse Bast feels the spell dissapear. She would slip outside, turning her head back at the ripe acrid scent of vomit, she would watch the Reverend collapse onto the ground. She gives a feline frown as her sweet-hearted nature came though. She turns and lays one paw on his prone form and makes a keening mew soiund, pushing energy throough the man and trying to heal the cuts she had given him and maybe the cold that he seems to be suffering from Bast focuses on their skill of Healing, misses in performing a supernatural assist on Reverend George Reverend George shuddered to the floor, one could not quite tell whether it was his growing cold after being soaked somehow or something more since the man indeed seemed to spasm derangedly and gurgled between sniffing and sneezing. It was then when slowly his head would rise at feeling the small paw to his arm and there was a glimpe of an eye staring at the cat, it seemed to shudder and lose its dullness to look like a bright green eye, when slowly it closed and the man relaxed to the floor. It looked as if he took his final breath and the air grew strangely cold around him and sucked strangely. It was as if a small cloud suddenly shot from his body, bringing along with it the crackles of energy to fade into nothingness Bast gives a startled yip as the man apparently dies under her paw, eyes widening in fear before turn and flees into the nights air Proclamation of the New Mayor http://larps.net/lc/topic/proclamation-of-the-new-mayor#post-9026 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 06:19:17 +0000 Mateem Batistuta Mateem Batistuta 9026@http://larps.net/lc/ [17:01] Leigh HuetLeigh Huet would go to the Abyss headed to her sire's throne room she looked for him but did not see him though she could feel his strong presences as always as she looked upon his chair a key and an envelope would appear she steped soundlessly up the steps to his seat and reached for that which laid there and said.

"upon this book the representation of all that is known, all that is..and all that will be, the laws that are followed place your left hand upon it and raise your right hand."

[17:22] Eden BucannanEden Bucannan walks up to Viola " They didn't turn up, and I have to go home now. Will you see them on your own or wait for another day?"

[17:26] ModestyModesty feels a chill for a moment and gives an imperceptible shiver as the shadows wrap about her wrist and hand, the woman's lips parting in a soft gasp of surprise. She gathers herself and dips her head respectfully, "Thank you." [17:26] Eden BucannanEden Bucannan smiles to Chandra as she walks past [17:26] SaerrnSaerrn would move away from the light of windows of the Ten Bells, seeking out the Shadows of the boxing ring as she'd look up at Modestly, a soft smile as she'd wait quietly and let the woman have her moment.

[17:28] RazorRazor 's eye wanders the crowd...getting the feeling in the back of his mind that something isn't right...writing it off as nerves as he digs at the ground [17:28] Lady Leigh LuvLady Leigh Luv would raise the corner of her mouth as the bindings took place she then extened to her the key to the dark government building a symbolism and said. " The key to the Dark Government, may you leaarn from those around you and listen to their needs, remembering always that you are a servant to the citizens of this realm and may you guide with wisdom and knowledge." [17:29] K.D. Silvansky K.D. Silvansky glances towards Saerrn, a small smile touching his lips. He nods his head, and then moves closer to Victoria. [17:29] AisinAisin whispered to Pandora. "I imagine Mr. Wardark would like the company of a friend, just now. I know I would were I in his place." [17:29] Helene de la Fort du PontHelene de la Fort du Pont wraps her arms around herself, giving a sudden shiver.,. [17:30] SaerrnSaerrn would turn to look back at her brother, feeling the warmth of her brother's smile as she watched him for a long moment, returning his nod before she'd lean quietly against the edge of the boxing ring and murmur softly, her voice louder this time, "Congratulations, Modesty." [17:31] Victoria VanTasselVictoria VanTassel seeing Kev tilting her head curiously "what?" leaning in toward him as she poked at his chest "What was that look about?" she said in a whisper [17:31] ModestyModesty reaches for the key, taking the heavy object and wrapping her fingers about it. The young woman feels the warmth move through her, giving a smile as she looks to Saerrn close by. She nods again respectfully to Leigh and then takes a few steps closer to the crowd, "Thank you. Thank you all, whether you voted for me or not as you took an interest in your City and your government." she lets her green gaze sweep the people gathered, "I will make good on my promises. I should imagine that the next little while will be busy as I get down to work but I promise that I will gather together a town hall soon so that we can discuss matters together." [17:31] RazorRazor turns his remaining eye to the male that seems to be growling at his...his lips curling slightly as he lets out a low growl of his own [17:32] PandoraPandora whispers back. "Knowing him, he will have his friends and everyone else in for drinks. " manages a smile. [17:32] K.D. Silvansky K.D.

[17:32] ChandraChandra hums and shrugs, before giving Viola a slight wave of her fingers, and a minor salute of her index and middle fingersto Modesty before she meanders off, looking for mischief. [17:32] K.D. Silvansky K.D. Silvansky gives Victoria VanTassel a soothing kiss. [17:32] Madison SmytheMadison Smythe saunters into the squrare, gently shaking the cold from her shoulders... Her gaze lingers over the dark clad woman standing just beside the ring, her eyes narrowing sharply. [17:33] ParisWestParisWest moves closer to miss pandora, to comfort her, "was a job well done, pandora, and it says so by the election results!" [17:33] AisinAisin whispered "Men. You can't live with them, and you can't make an armchair out of them." [17:33] Dire ThornDire Thorn raises his hands placatingly to the wolf. "Wow, boy, I was just asking a question." He tilted his head at Razor. "So, I' take it you didn't understand what I was saying?" [17:33] ParisWest: "only one vote difference!" [17:33] ViolaViola glances at the woman next to, then turns back to the ring, she frowns then turns back and forces a smile "Good evening Miss, did you enjoy your 'date' with John th e other evening?"

[17:34] Helene de la Fort du PontHelene de la Fort du Pont shivers again, glancing around her to search for a cause. Catching sight of the gentleman behind her with the long hair, she gives him a small, curious nod. [17:35] ModestyModesty smiles to Leigh, murmuring softly over the crowd's din, "I should very much like to sit down when its convenient and discuss matters with you milady.

There he looks about as the waves crashing in as the tides would rise and fall. A soft smile covet his lips as he knew well what he really desired. At a young age since memory would never fault that the Sea would be his safety net. The child would walk home for it was time it as his mother would sing softly to him as night drew in, songs of tales of the seas and high adventure. Fate is a cruel Mistress as one evening, a group of men with their torches and chants of " Get out, Get out, We do not want you here!", A young man would be clutched close to his Mother as his Father would stand at the door keeping a look out as his hand would be on the hilt of his sword. The group of men was a mile away but their chants could be heard well. a soft knock came upon the door as His father would open the door. Friends of the family would stand before and uttered " We came as fast as we could." The Father nodded as he looked at his son with a smile, then he looks back to his friends and say " Take my son with you. Not matter what happens to us but my son must be carried to safety. Make sure he knows of us,train him and make sure he is trained well of sword and magick. " The friends nodded gently as stepping forward for the boy. The boy did not understand what was going on, but his Mother would sing her last song as crystal tears rolled down her gentle face. " Fear not my son, go with them now. Go for I will always be with thee." there upon her neck she took off her necklace of crystal would drape it around the boy's neck. As fate has handed down, The Friends and the boy would safely go out into the night and head for the nearest Port to sail out. What became of the Mother & Father, the group of men stormed the place killing both but not before the Mother & Father would fight long and hard before their wills and energy would fail after a while. The group of men chanted that they vanquished the vile Fae from their lands. The Friends were mortal humans that allied with the Fae in the lands of Eire and would discover what became of the Mother & Father, but would tell the boy until he was of age to understand of what happened that fateful night. Upon the Sea, the boy grew into a man as he was told of the story of what became of his parents. By that time he has been trained in the fine arts of sword, and the Friends kept their words as he was taught the fine art of Elemental magicks his kin were so well knowledge about. Anger the man felt as he sought vengeance in his heart for his murdered family. The man and his mates visited his once home to find the home in ruins and the charred bodies of the Mother & Father within the ruined home. That day he buried the bodies in proper respect of his dead parents. That night was a different story as the man and his mate sought those responsible. In the town the ones responsible were older and not as strong as they were once. The man and his crew would storm the town taking those responsible as it was told of him of whom was involved. One by one each man was killed for their part of his parent's death. The man finishing the task as justice has been served properly would return to his ship as an out law and pirate. For many years he sailed upon the seas, taking with him the ventures a Sailor has. Finally after many years at sea, he found the Port of Legacies and there a new story would enter in his life.

No pequeno espaço da estalagem, o silêncio reina, as pedras húmidas e frias refletem a clareira do fogo, quando bruscamente seu felino salta em seus braços. Apesar da sua estatura baixa e seu físico magro, reage sempre calmamente e não é de se assustar facilmente com nada, mas, nesta noite seus pensamentos concentram-se somente no que vai lhes dizer aquele Demônio e por quais motivos a chamou aqui . Sabes também que, deste honronso encontro terás apoio, poder e acesso aos manuscritos necessários a continuidade das suas pesquisas. Acalentando seu felino em seus braços, dirige-se até a janela e conta as estrelas,dentro de alguns instantes o sol desaparecera completamente e o momento que tanto almejas chegara. Acomoda a criatura em seus ombros e refaz sua trança antes de sair em sua perigrinação até o Luxuoso Castelo dos Infernais. Havia calculado 5 árvores frutiferas a sua frente, no campo de flores mistas 1 caverna, finalmente a grande arvore e chegaria. Em silencio adentra a floresta e segue segura dos seus passos. Meio a sua caminhada escuta uma voz... _ "Venha Rosier, venha bela! Venha a nos querida." A jovem não reconhece aquela voz e não conhece se quer outra pessoa na cidade a não ser a Senhorita Hélix, proprietaria do armazém. Continuara cautelosamente sua caminhada ignorando "a voz". Ao passar pela quarta arvore frutifera vê uma aparição de horror,com uma mascara no rosto dificilmente reconhecivel e escuta novamente uma voz... _ "Venha Rosier, venha bela! Volta a mim querida." Ruboriza ao seu nome verdadeiro ecoando em seus ouvidos e reconhecendo a voz do seu Lorde de Gehenna: _"Senhor Supremo dos Infernos, por que aqui estou? O que queres de mim?." A criatura entra em um odio tenebroso e clama em som sobrenatural do dialeto Fabulare. _" kadishtu kadishtu 'bthnk kadishtu tharanak vulgtm zhro shogg zhro fm'latgh wgah'n tharanak vulgtm vulgtm tharanak tharanak tharanak nilgh'ri 'bthnk 'bthnk vulgtm fm'latgh nilgh'ri nilgh'ri shogg nilgh'ri 'bthnk 'bthnk shogg shogg 'bthnk vulgtm shogg nilgh'ri 'bthnk shogg kadishtu wgah'n shogg tharanak zhro wgah'n tharanak zhro 'bthnk 'bthnk shogg fm'latgh fm'latgh vulgtm fm'latgh nilgh'ri wgah'n vulgtm tharanak fm'latgh wgah'n wgah'n shogg nilgh'ri tharanak vulgtm vulgtm wgah'n vulgtm 'bthnk zhro shogg" ((Tradução: _"Rosier receba em sua alma os poderes de uma Succubi. Este reino fora abandonado por outros infernais e todos que aqui viviam foram mandados de volta ao Inferno, ordeno que aqui fique e receba os nossos. Fique atenta a tudo e com bastante cautela proteja nossos segredos, espalhe o terror e o mau nesta cidade, teras os poderes de uma Succubi e consequentemente todos que em seu caminho passara sofera de uma amnésia aguda, não lembraras mais dos seus familiares e amigos.")) Confusa tenta movimenta-se mas, seu corpo não responde, aos poucos sente um mal-estar, a poucos metros do Castelo o encantamento faz efeito e logo desfalece diante do monólito negro. A Terra estremece e ardem as chamas em tudo ao redor. Seus olhos cristalizam , suas unhas crescem e seus chifres perfuram seu crânio, balbucia a terra de tom grave: _“A gloria de Satã!” e instantaneamente da sua boca expeli um facho de luz vermelha. Diluvio começara acalmando as chamas, criando uma nuvem de fumaça negra. Sob a grama os respingos tocam seu rosto e enfraquecida abre vagarosamente os olhos. Leva-se e a passaradas curtas até os imensos portões observa de relance o salão principal, assegurando-se que não ha ninguém e adentra.

Quer dizer, querido não... Vamos deixar de frescura? Eu preciso de alguém para conversar e não posso falar com ninguém.

Será que nem aqui eu terei sussego? Mas para que você me entenda, vou precisar começar a história do começo. Pois bem, estava eu voltando do banqueiro (afinal, preciso cuidar do patrimônio da família até que Vanderbor resolva aparecer novamente), quando, na entrada da vila eu notei a chegada de uma nova forasteira. Sua maneira de vestir-se chamou minha atenção. Ela trajava um vestido negro, de tecidos caríssimos. Queixo elevado, posição das mãos e pose daquelas madames que nunca lavaram uma louça na vida. E lá fui eu 'xeretar' a vida alheia. Não que a vida alheia me importe, mas se chega alguém com dinheiro na vila, eu tenho que conhecer, afinal, negócios são negócios. Seu nome era Arikel. Esbanjava superioridade e glamour. A chata da dona do tabelionato estava com ela e, obviamente ambas estavam se engafiando. Claro que eu alfinetei mais ainda... Seria engraçado vê as duas "damas da sociedade" rolando as barras dos longos vestidos na terra vermelha. - "Sua nova amiga?", perguntei à senhora do Tavelionato. - "Amiga?", ela gargalha, "Alguma vez me viste com alguma? Tenho conhecidas casuais.. apenas.. quando me convém". - "Não se preocupe minha cara. Também não sou de amigos. Tentarei não cruzar novamente o seu... como posso dizer? Caminho" , disse Arikel sorrindo. - "Fique a vontade para cruzá-lo desde que tenha albers na bolsa e boa vontade de gastá-los!", sorria zombeteira a senhora do tabelionato. - "Deve ter notado que riqueza não é meu problema. Poderia gastar quantos albers você quisesse, se me levasse a um determinado lugar..." - "Sinto muito, querida! Apesar de adorar os albers, não sou dama de companhia. Vá à taverna, la há de tudo um pouco . Creio que possa achar um.. guia.. para sua caminhada". Bem, nesse momento meus olhinhos brilharam com a idéia. A mulher estava perdida, tinha dinheiro e queria gastá-los. Eu queria também gastar, mas não tinha o dinheiro. Então, eu tive a brilhante idéia e me ofereci de guia. Claro que eu "metí a faca" na senhorita... Mas se ela queria ajuda e tinha como pagar, não tinha que ficar com dó do dinheiro. Negócios são negócios. Em meio a toda essa negociação foi que ele apareceu. Loiro, alto, esbelto, pele clara... Ele parecia ser a perdição para muitas mulheres (depois dizem que nós é que somos a perdição do mundo). Seu nome era Maat. Nos apresentamos e depois seguimos nosso caminho. Eu achava que não o veria tão cedo. Fui uma tola... Cumpri minha parte do acordo levando a bruxa (Arikel) até a taverna. Infelizmente, tivemos que voltar, pois não conseguimos as informações. O caminho foi longo, diário, mas você precisava ver minha cara de satisfação ao vê-la enchendo a saia de capim, esbravejando aos quatro ventos e amaldiçoando sua existência todo o caminho. Então, eu a deixei na estalagem... Mas na volta, lá estava o loiro alto novamente. Puxou assunto, fiquei conversando. Vai que ele também tivesse dinheiro? Para minha supresa, do nada ele pulou em meu pescoço. De início, achei que ele quizesse me beijar e o empurrei. Mas tamanha foi minha supresa quando vi seus caninos pontiagudos e seus olhos vermelhos em minha direção. Eu gritei com todas as minhas forças: - "SOCORROOOOOOOO!!! É O DEMÔNIOOOOOOOOOOOO.... O DEMÔNIOOOOOOOOO..... SOCORROOOOOOOOOOO....." Para meu desespero ninguém apareceu. Tentei fugir dele, mas ele me segurou e me levou para trás de uma montanha. Ele parecia asustado como eu e me pedia para deixar explicar. Mas eu não iria pagar para ver.... Era a Schmooz. Aquela vampira maldita mandando seus vassalos me caçarem! Maldita seja! Até aqui ela não me deixará em paz? Foi então que a salvação chegou. DEUS SEJA LOUVADO! O homem com a espada desembanhada apareceu para me salvar. Me senti uma daquelas princesas na mão do malfeitor... O homem o chamou para um duelo, ele tentou fugir, mas o bravo cavalheiro não deixou. Eu estava assustada demais. Não sabia se corria, ou se ficava para ajudar. Estava sem armas, achei que não fosse precisar delas novamente. Mas... Infelizmente, o homem que me atacou feriu gravemente meu salvador. Para minha sorte, ele fugiu após a vitória. Pensa que as emoções acabaram por aí? Tem mais... Fui tentar ajudá-lo a levantar-se. Tinha que ajudá-lo, claro. O mínimo que eu podia fazer era levá-lo até a Santa Casa. Então, apareceu aquela chata do Tabelionato e, como se ele fosse uma luva, levou-o nos braços para casa. Ela dizia que poderia cuidar dele melhor e disse para eu procurar a mílicia. Bem, e aqui estou eu na frente da milícia esperando alguém aparecer. Onde eles estão quando precisamos deles? Parece que as coisas nesse mundo nunca irão mudar... Pagamos impostos e mais impostos e, quando precisamos da mílicia, não os encontramos. Estou deixando tudo anotado porque agora tenho assuntos a investigar e não posso esquecer de nenhuma detalhe: 1º Quem era o vampiro que tentou me morder. Quantos são? O que querem aqui? A vampira Tzimisce está mesmo por detrás disso tudo? 2º O que é Soraya? Qual o segredo de sua força sobre-humana? 3º Bem... Esse não é bem uma pergunta. É apenas algo que devo fazer: Encontrar o homem que me salvou e agradecer-lhe por sua honra e pelo que fez. É o meu momento princesa... *´¨) ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨) (¸.•´ (¸.•` Crônica de Sindy Schnute.

No alto do cume, eu sentia a brisa refrescante sacudir meus cabelos negros. O sol avermelhado tocava as montanhas ao Norte enquanto uma pequena e singela vila era iluminada pelo seu esplendor. Eu ainda respirava um tanto ofegante carregando o peso da minha barriga. Acariciei-a por cima dos trapos que vestia carinhosamente. Havia amanhecido mais disposta, sem enjôos ou algo parecido. Entretanto, meus pés ainda estavam um tanto quanto inchados. Precisávamos chegar à pequena vila e procurar por uma parteira urgentemente. Ainda assim eu sorria com certa satisfação por conseguir andar até aquele ponto sem precisar tanto da ajuda de Rivanc... -" Achei que tivesse dito que eu enfrentaria um oponente à altura!", o provoquei com um sorriso sarcástico por ter chegado ao alto do cume primeiro. -"É.... Você me surpreendeu, mesmo nessas condições...", ele assumia enquanto descarregava algumas toras de madeira. Peso bem maior que o da minha barriga, certamente. A viagem de navio fora longa. Eu fitava a pequena vila pensativa e um tanto preocupada. A cidade parecia esquecida pela sociedade. Lendas e histórias que contadas por meu bisavô de arrepiar todos os fios de cabelos, estavam de acordo com aquelas coordenadas. Para nós, que fugíamos da Inquisição e daquela vampira maldita, parecia o lugar perfeito para nos esconder. Em nossa jornada, até aquele local, já havíamos visto muito sangue inocente derramado. Tudo o que queríamos agora, era um pouco de sussego para finalmente termos uma família normal. Nosso filho, ou filha, estava chegando. Era preciso estarmos longe daquela batalha. E aquela parecia cativante e encantadora. Estaríamos corretos? Pois bem... Quando chegamos à cidade, Rivanc tratou logo de ir procurar um lugar para passarmos a noite, enquanto eu, estava faminta e fui procurar algo para comer. Avistei um aglomerado de pessoas no que mais parecia uma taverna e aproximei-me. As pessoas conversavam e bebiam. Um deles gentilmente me cedeu o lugar para sentar (Kenji) e eu aceitei, afinal estava muito cansada. A taverneira era simpática (Lua Amaterasu) e me serviu muito bem enquanto eu, observadora como sempre, fitava as pessoas ao meu redor. Algumas dispunham de vestimentas chamativas, certamente alguem importante na cidade (KelenFranizz.). Ela conversava bastante tempo com o Oriental que gentilmente me cedera o lugar (Kenji). Uma outra senhora, com a pele tão clara quanto a minha, parecia ser discreta, de poucas palavras, e observava os outros conversarem acompanhada de outra senhora (Lua Adder e Pompom). O que mais havia me chamado atenção, entretanto, era a de um jovem solitário no fundo da taverna (Genesisss ). De certa forma, quando ele se aproximou de mim, eu senti calafrios subindo pelo meu corpo. A sensação era a mesma que meu Maldito padrastro causava em mim. Senti um mal-estar repentino enquanto meu bebê, mechia-se em minha barriga como há dias não fazia. Eu não queria mais ficar naquele lugar. Algo de errado, e eu não sei exatamente o que, estava para acontecer. Fui tomada por um súbito medo e aceitei a sugestão da Taverneira de passar a noite na parte superior da Taverna. Por sorte, ela dizia-se parteira. Eu, aparentemete, estava em boas mãos. Não sei se consegueria dormir bem naquela noite. Os sonhos... Eles me avisam as coisas, mas na maioria das vezes eu não quero dar ouvidos a eles. Estaria eu ficando louca? Se estou ou não, o melhor naquele momento era descançar. Uma boa noite de sono poderia livrar-me de tais alucinações. Um novo local para começar de novo, poderia manter-me longe desse rastro de destruição que me persegue. E com o nascer do sol, um novo dia... Uma nova vida... Uma nova história.

Passando em frente ao armazém da Senhorita Hélix, insiste ao bater na porta, porém a jovem também acabara seu dia mais cedo e o estabelecimento encontra-se fechado. Galopa até o outro lado da vila e em frente a taverna avista ao interior um casal, finalmente desce do seu cavalo e o amarra com uma soga. Em frente ao estabelecimento, fita o casal que ali se encontrava, uma jovem vestida com um longo vestido fino violeta, com cabelos brilhantes negro e um rapaz a meia idade, robusto e de boa aparência. Bate com o bico da bota no degrau de entrada a fim de ser notada e educadamente cumprimenta ambos. _"Saudações Senhores". Inclina-se levemente a Senhorita Cortes aos indivíduos ali presentes. Ao escutar a voz da Senhorita Cortes, a jovem taverneira seu semblante autotélico, volta a si mesma, como se estava longe em seus pensamentos, nem percebera a chegada da cliente e a responde: _”Saudações.” O rapaz, sentindo ainda intrigado com o lugar e as palavras as quais a taverneira balbuciava com dificuldade, apenas audíveis, retira cinco moedas de ouro da sacola e coloca sobre o balcão. _”Obrigado Senhorita, mas devo me ausentar agora, amanhã de manhã venho comer mais de seus deliciosos biscoitos". Proferia de bom tom, em seguida vira-se e começa a andar até a saída cabisbaixo e com ar de reflexão. O rapaz parecia estar com muita pressa, havia um acerto de contas, que inclusive a responsável pelo estabelecimento recusara o tal pagamento, devolvendo as moedas ao rapaz. Neste exato momento, Senhorita Cortes adentra, tentando decifrar o conteúdo da negociação mas, o rapaz despede-se esbarrando-se em seus ombros ao sair do local. Faminta, Senhorita Cortes gesticula levando a mão a seu ventre e não disfarça sua gana mesmo anestesiada pelo belo sorriso da jovem e indaga de um tom suave. _"O que serves por aqui Senhorita? Tenho fome!" _”Desculpe-me Lady, meu estoque está vazio, posso lhes servir alguns biscoitos e boas bebidas”. Responde a garçonete atrás do balcão. De uma excelência inabitual que atiçou a curiosidade de Cali que a cada gesto delicado da garçonete pensava consigo o porquê e do como, esta criatura que nunca havia visto antes lhes fora tão solicita. Decide sentar-se e provar estes biscoitos que exalam encantamento hipnotizante em seu cheiro açucarado e ainda poderia sentir o bafo quente que saia da fornalha. _"Qualquer coisa seria bem-vinda, estou mesmo faminta." Voga Senhorita Cortes. A taverneira sem desmanchar seu sorriso, pega alguns biscoitos que acabara de assar e coloca diretamente no prato para servir a moça. _”Aqui está, o que queres para acompanhar? Pergunta a garçonete. _”Mmmm!! Parecem maravilhosos Senhorita, gostaria de um café se tens, por favor! Completa Senhorita Cortes , aceitando de bom coração o alimento estende em seus lábios um sorriso com um brilho nos olhos refletindo o luzidio do açúcar cristalino, saliva sua fome. _”Acabei de colocar água para fever para um chá, mas faço sim um café. Diz a taverneira. Gesticula com as mãos veemente Senhorita Cortes, com a boca cheia de biscoitos: _"Não não ... precisa se preocupar não, adoro chá também... só preciso ficar um pouco esperta hoje estou meio cansada um café iria despertar!" Completa. A garçonete insiste em seu serviço fora de série e propõe um chá de dente de leão, que segundo ela é energético e indaga: _”Como chama-se Lady?” _”Me chamo Cali Cortes, Senhorita e vos?”. Estendendo a mão e sorrindo agradecida. Mesmo sentindo em seu corpo a vibração da casa mudar, a taverneira continua polida para com a sua cliente e responde enquanto salpica as ervas na água antes de entrar em ebulição: _”Me chamo Lua LeFeu”. Aproveitando este momento de distração da garçonete Senhorita cortes concentra-se e tenta invadir a alma da criatura afim de desvendar seus segredos mas, com uma energia forte e uma áurea de um brilho exuberante falha em sua ação. Senhorita LeFeu, em pensamento cria um ciclo de proteção no estabelecimento para que não sofra nenhum dano e para grande surpresa da Senhorita Cortes que também percebe as faíscas ao seu redor, logo detecta o uso de mágika no local e ruboriza. A mesma sabes que aquele momento fora arriscado, podendo lhes causar marcas indeléveis e disfarçadamente inventa uma desculpa de um compromisso de ultima hora para sair o mais rápido possível da taverna, comendo os biscoitos desesperadamente, esquecendo das boas maneiras, levanta da mesa antes mesmo que a garçonete deposite a bandeja com seu chá, desculpa-se da indelicadeza retirando do seu cois da saia alguns réis suficientes para quitar sua dividia. A taverneira nada entende e continuara a insistir que beba o chá mas, ambas criaturas sabem que houve um choque de energias. Acompanhada da taverneira, Senhorita Cortes, mais uma vez agradece,elogia desculpando-se da sua descortês repentina e deixa a taverna, na porta a jovem deseja boa viagem acenando com a mão e ao fecha-la, cai no chão sem força para erguer-se, ora pedindo proteção para ela e seu estabelecimento, enquanto Senhorita Cortes a galopes como veio, com garra parte floresta a dentro. ✣✣✣ Crônica de: KelenFranizzi Kegel, Mystico Ville 1247.

So... we called for and ST and Leigh arrived. This is the resulting rp. Thanks to Leigh for her patience and guidance. I have edited out the comings and goings of my friends to improve readability. 19:22] Scarlett Lovett spotted the woman in somewhat dainty clothing and laughed to herself as she moved further down the hill. As she moved closer she looked to her and said, "Good evening Miss..." then looked around them for a moment crossing her arms into each other... "What is such a fine lady like yourself doing in the muddy forest?" she said in a tone that was dark, yet sensual [19:25] Pandora picks up the last coin bag and looks around as she hears someone speak. Her knife is in her hand, bloody from hacking at the zombies. She slides her hand into the folds of her skirt. "I am here persuading the zombies to return to where they belong. It is a charitable thing i do for them. [19:26] Emilia O'Boyle followed behind her Sire as if her shadow.. Her dark eyes leering about the area and falling finally upon the woman and a sharp hesitant sneer escaped her lips after Scarlett's words.. She knew how she worked and would watch like a good pupil.. A bit of pleasure she would get knowing she personally had a grunge against the woman scoffing at her reply.. "Sweet to zombies but not to Immigrants?" she'd shake her head slowly stepping around Scarlett for a better view. [19:30] Scarlett Lovett perked a brow hearing her Chylde's words, and she stepped closer to the woman "Oh dear, now that can't be true.... just look at you...." she would tilt her head and give a rather seductive grin, just barely showing her bottom teeth, "Such a beautiful woman would be kind hearted to all walks of earth... especially other beautiful woman such as Miss Emilia..." [19:34] Pandora scoffs at the woman's words, shaking her head and canting her head to the woman in white. " You are speaking of this woman? You are wasting you time, Madame. She is as coarse as they come and would not recognize a kindness if one were to be offered to her. I recognize her. She cost me my best employee with her rudeness. I have no knowledge of her being an immigrant for whatever that is worth. She was treated with the utmost courtesy in our cafe and she complained and slung it back in our faces." [19:37] Emilia O'Boyle felt a pull from her Sire to stop her train or rage towards the woman and flipped a smile.. "Oh of course.. I was mistaken.. Wasn't you forgive my tongue.. It likes to lash out without sniffing first.. " her nose would crinkle into a smutty grin.. Forgetting for now her twisted version of the events that night.. [19:41] Scarlett Lovett would attempt to reach up and pluck a flower off the woman's hat, and brush it against her own cheek closing her eyes for a moment before saying, "See... no harm done." then she would place it between her breasts and continue, "I own the rather large manor just over the hill top, a wonderful place it is...." then she would move in even closer and stare into the woman's eyes as she almost cooed, "I would just love to have you over for dinner sometime." [19:43] Scarlett Lovett successfully performs a physical grapple on Pandora. [19:45] (last line and roll voided) [19:56] Pandora eyes widen as the woman reaches out towards her head. She takes a few steps back, staring at woman. eyes narrow and piercing. "How dare you presume to try to touch me, Madame." Her gaze meets the woman's eyes and then she looks her up and down, brow furrowed. "What manner of lady are you to be so forward? " She continues squinting into the darkness, attempting to see the woman more closely. [19:56] Emilia O'Boyle folded her arms across her stomach and wrapped east wrist digging her nails into them.. She had been starving far too long.. and now a turn of jealousy crashed with rage in her eyes.. That was her Sire and sharing such affection was was her own self struggles spilling out onto the job at hand.. A large growl ensued.. "Sire... I would rather have something special for dinner tonight and...." she gave the woman with the hat the most pleasant sneer she could muster... "She seams too busy anyways to be joining us.." she'd growl at the zombie and rat blood splashed about her gown with a prude notion so shoot up her nose but rejected it... Making excuses however for her jealous fit at the moment was entitling her to remain more calm than she was behind her cold shell. [19:57] Pandora focuses on their expert skill of Dressmaking, successfully performs a physical discovery on Scarlett Lovett. [20:04] Scarlett Lovett let out a frustrated sigh hearing the woman talk down to her, "Are you questioning my status Miss?" she asked narrowing her eyes, "If I'm not mistaken you yourself are -not- a Lady... no, not at all."... hearing Emi she parted her lips as a small laugh escaped, "Now dear Chylde, have patience...." she said never turning her head from the woman, but instead she stepped closer, "Now me, myself will be marrying a Lord in just a few short weeks... do you know what that makes me Miss?" Her tone then grew angry and even darker, all the seducing now gone as she nearly yelled, "A Lady." [20:05] Pandora: "Your dress, madame, to my eyes appears to be somewhat dated in style. and those wing-like...decorations are not attached to the dress. I am not sure what they are. " A look of uncertainty and fear crosses her face. " Given your flamboyant exposure of skin, as a proper lady, I really must decline your invitation. It would be most unseemly for me to be in your company"" [20:11] Emilia O'Boyle about lost it at that moment.. Emilia's rage frolicked right down her arms and to her fingers making her reach her hand back with a strain as she stepped towards the woman.. A loud hiss as her eyes seeped the anger from inside.. "YOUGH WILGGE NOAGHT TALK TO HERGHH THAGHT WAGY!" She'd attempt a quick flash step to close in on the distance between the two and approach the hatted woman from behind. [20:12] Emilia O'Boyle performs ShadowStepper on themself. [20:13] Scarlett Lovett tilted her chin up and peered down at the woman narrowing her eyes, "Choose your next words wisely m'dear, for my collar... the 'wings' may be the last thing those beady little eyes see." she said before looking over to Emi and giving a slight nod. [20:27] Pandora senses the woman behind her. She chews her lips, but doesn't say anything. She fingers the knife in the folds of her skirt and takes a deep breath. " Since you are engaged miss, and to a lord, I assume you plan to continue to reside here. As the lady wife of a Lord, are you certain you wish to be associated with a woman of such.... habits as your companion here? She really reflects poorly on you and will do your Lord no service to one of his stature. Don't you agree? Look at her. Don't you see a woman beneath a woman of your soon to be stature? Look at her for the pathetic creature she really is." She cuts her eyes quickly back towards the woman behind her, then gazes at the woman in black. "Take a really good look at her and you will see what I see." [20:28] Pandora successfully performs a mental influence on Scarlett Lovett. [20:32] Scarlett Lovett moved in as far as she could without actually touching the woman. She would peer under the hat as her eyes grew darker with anger, "I chose her to become apart of my family... apart of my -bloodline-!" she glanced down at the knife in her hand and attempted to use her inhuman speed to take it from her, into her own hands. [20:33] (last line voided) [20:34] Emilia O'Boyle moved her hands up quickly attempting to take the woman mid sentence by the back of her head.. She'd clench her netted bun and wrench down on it with twice normal human strength.. Weak for the fading young ling that she was.. but stronger than a human and pulled her down attempting to buckle the woman onto her back and smack in hard against the mud.. [20:34] Emilia O'Boyle successfully performs a physical grapple on Pandora. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRESENCE SO ST AND EMILIA'S PLAYER AGREED THAT IT FAILED. [20:51] Scarlett Lovett watched Emilia attempt to grab the woman and she stopped her after considering Pandora's words, "ENOUGH!" she yelled attempting to stop her from attacking, "Our bloodline doesn't feast on Mangy Mutts..." she said tilting her chin to the air once more looking back up the hill, "Let us be on our way." [20:52] Scarlett Lovett gets a stellar success in performing a mental influence on Emilia O'Boyle. [20:57] Pandora stands still, breathing heavily, still clutching her knife. As she hears the woman's words, she closes her eyes briefly, then opens them and waits to see if the women leave. [20:58] Emilia O'Boyle stopped her hand at once and moved away.. She'd stare at the woman completely convinced she was in fact, a mangy mutt...the disease of mange and the thought of it making her skin crawl.. Having almost bitten a dog would surly have put a damper on her bloodlines history.. She quivered as moved back behind her Sire shadowing her as they moved away. [21:02] Scarlett Lovett turned and walked away reaching back and adjusting the wings, "It's a bloody collar, and it's attached to my BEAUTIFUL dress..." she said through clenched teeth darting up the hil You, Your Dice, Your Skills and Your character http://larps.net/lc/topic/you-your-dice-your-skills-and-your-character#post-8964 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 00:55:27 +0000 Leigh Huet Leigh Huet 8964@http://larps.net/lc/ [14:01] Leigh Huet: greetings everyone [14:01] Lady Leigh Luv: ((Leigh Huet is in StoryTeller mode.))

Not sure how I'm going to manage it yet. *dimple* [14:11] Leigh Huet: now some of the skills will build automatically like those in the melee area...knife sword, fists....which ever you have enabled on your hud for the melee it will grow as you play with the different critters [14:12] Seras TearfallSeras Tearfall mumbles to herself "float like a Scotswoman sting like a bee" then draws silent [14:12] Leigh Huet: horse riding is another if you obtain a LaRPS horse on the game floor...though you will get kicked off at first...as your skill grows the amount of times you get kicked off lessons [14:12] Leigh Huet: any questions about the skills? [14:12] Goldy Lionheart: I have a question Leigh. [14:12] Adramalech Wardark: nuh uh [14:13] Leigh Huet: goldy [14:14] Goldy Lionheart: I notice that some of the skills kind of inherently point to damage, but some do not. Could you use a skill like dancing, or smelting, or something off the wall based on your rp (anyone who's seem me rp knows that my character gets in the most unlikely situations) could you roll like..harm with a different type of skill? Like doing ..well pardon the pun, but scottish dancing where you kick your feet out, and purposely kick someone in the shins? [14:15] Leigh Huet: actually that sounds like an interesting way to use it...laughs and depeneding on how you RPd it I don't see any reason why not.. [14:16] Goldy Lionheart: okay, that's what I was curious about, is if their where skills you couldn't use to harm or assist. Because cooking could be --omg-- dangerous with Kestrel [14:16] ArianaWhiteViolet: giggles and thinks it might be an idea to keep away from kestral on Robbie burns day [14:17] Leigh Huet: now I know how easy it is to forget about that skill and come up with somethiing off the wall like dressmaking and use harm.....personally I tend to retype my use of a skill when I am unsure but you can always look at your character sheet as well [14:17] Jaxa Fiul: Alright, so we're not going ot visit Kestrel for the holidays, got it. [14:17] Goldy Lionheart: *blushes* [14:17] Goldy Lionheart: sorry off the wall question, I'll shush now ty Leigh [14:18] Stary DreamscapeStary Dreamscape makes a mental note not to be around Kestrel when she is cooking [14:18] Leigh Huet: do try to remember what your focus is because it does make a difference on your actual roll...and your fine goldy it was a good question [14:18] Leigh Huet: any others before I move on? [14:19] Leigh Huet: guess not and gives the next link [14:19] Leigh Huet: <a href="http://larps.net/lc/topic/dice-roll-details" rel="nofollow">http://larps.net/lc/topic/dice-roll-details</a> [14:19] Leigh Huet: this is what I use to always help me make a decision on what dice to use based upon what my attempt is [14:20] Leigh Huet: so lets talk about the tree of choices [14:20] Leigh Huet: click on your hud for me the item that looks like a crystal at the end [14:20] Kestrel: ((Goldy Lionheart is In Character)) [14:20] Leigh Huet: it is a 12 sided RP die [14:20] Adramalech Wardark: ((Adramalech Wardark is In Character)) [14:20] Zion: ((Zion Volos is In Character)) [14:21] Zephan Dellamorte: ((Shade Requiem is In Character)) [14:21] Leigh Huet: the first level you have are the ones we are going to be dealing with...target, self, environment [14:21] Leigh Huet: this is your focus...what is your character focusing on...a specific target? themselves? or something in the environment... [14:22] Leigh Huet: now here is a quick question...if someone has say a hat on....is their hat the environment or would you use target? [14:22] Adramalech Wardark: Target [14:22] Seras Tearfall: target [14:22] Leigh Huet: why? [14:22] Goldy Lionheart: if it's on them, target. if it falls off, enviroment. [14:22] Zion Volos: target, it's their hat. Part of their character? [14:22] Seras Tearfall: because it is there hat [14:23] Adramalech Wardark: Because the other player is touching it. [14:23] Leigh Huet: correct..it is part of them...so even though you are not talking about them perse you are targeting them because it is a part of them [14:23] Leigh Huet: ok choose self for me please [14:24] Edenz: ok [14:24] Leigh Huet: now on this level of the dice this is where you are choosing your method [14:24] Leigh Huet: how are you going to affect your focus [14:24] Leigh Huet: will it be physical? mental. or magical...the last is anything supernatural [14:24] ArianaWhiteViolet: how do you chose self [14:24] Shade Requiem: Mental [14:25] Leigh Huet: did you chose the crystal on your hud? [14:25] Leigh Huet: if so you will see the word self [14:25] ArianaWhiteViolet: ok got it .. duh [14:25] Shade Requiem: Or was that not a question about Focus itself? [14:25] Leigh Huet: smiles [14:26] Leigh Huet: ok so lets say we are going to do something physical to ourself so now chose physical [14:26] Leigh Huet: all areas have these same choices but now we are narrowing it down to action...what it is you are actually attempting [14:27] KestrelKestrel attempts to facepalm. [14:27] Leigh Huet: the first is grapple...this is getting a hold of, to keep in place...to hold still [14:27] Leigh Huet: the next is influence [14:28] Leigh Huet: that one is pretty easy but the next is something I had trouble with presence [14:28] Leigh Huet: presence is to change...like to change from one location to another [14:28] Leigh Huet: discovery is if you want to learn something.. [14:28] Leigh Huet: assit to help [14:29] Edenz: or change appearance too isn't it? [14:29] Leigh Huet: and harm...well you might want to harm yourself as well.. [14:29] Leigh Huet: yes Endenz [14:29] Goldy Lionheart: what would you do for something like a facepalm though? you don't really want to do any of those. [14:29] Leigh Huet: so like if you do not naturally have another form but want to try to change something about yourself presence would be good [14:29] Jaxa Fiul: You'd be attempting to grapple your face, lol [14:30] Leigh Huet: there ya go...makes sense.. [14:30] Zion Volos: xD [14:30] Unicornis AlchemiUnicornis Alchemi pays attention [14:30] Goldy Lionheart: I was rolling presence. which ...now knowing what presence means, isn't right *laugh* [14:30] Jaxa Fiul: Or harm, both could work for one, depending on your intent, lol. [14:31] ArianaWhiteVioletArianaWhiteViolet focuses on their skill of Maid duties, successfully performs a physical discovery on themselves. [14:31] Leigh Huet: ok so now you are aware of our tree of choices let me give you some attempts you tell me what you think the roll should be [14:31] Miss StaryMiss Stary misses in performing a physical discovery on themselves. [14:31] ZionZion focuses on their skill of Common, successfully performs a physical discovery on themselves. [14:32] Adramalech WardarkAdramalech Wardark tries to keep the burgeoning power of Nexology buried inside of himself. [14:32] Adramalech WardarkAdramalech Wardark focuses on their skill of Nexology, gets a stellar success in performing a physical grapple on themselves. [14:32] Leigh Huet: ok ready for some examples? [14:32] Unicornis Alchemi: yes [14:32] Goldy Lionheart: yes [14:32] Stary Dreamscape: yes [14:32] Seras Tearfall: yep [14:32] Zion Volos: ready [14:33] Adramalech Wardark: No. Just to be different. [14:33] ArianaWhiteViolet: yes [14:33] watches adra she could almost see the shadows move about him raising the corner of her mouth and attempts to cause them to hold him to his chair. [14:33] Leigh Huet: what would the roll be? [14:33] Seras Tearfall: target magical grapple [14:33] Jaxa Fiul: Magical grapple? [14:34] Adramalech Wardark: What Sera's said [14:34] Zion Volos: target magical grapple, yeah [14:34] ArianaWhiteViolet: nods , beibg too slow to typ[e [14:34] Unicornis Alchemi: target magical grapple [14:34] Leigh Huet: very good [14:34] Leigh Huet: ok another one [14:35] Goldy Lionheart: question [14:35] Goldy Lionheart: if I can [14:35] reaches down to her boot pulling out her dagger and attempts to throw it next to Victoria to get her attention [14:35] Seras Tearfall: target physical influence? [14:36] Adramalech Wardark: Hmmm Enviornment Physical Presence. [14:36] Goldy Lionheart: enviroment physical harm [14:36] Unicornis Alchemi: target physical presence [14:36] Zion Volos: environment, physical influence [14:36] Edenz: target, physical, presence ? [14:36] Unicornis Alchemi: environment physical presence * [14:36] Leigh Huet: tricky one isn't it... [14:37] Leigh Huet: because I am not trying to harm victoria at all [14:37] Zion Volos: I'd say, no two answers alike haha [14:37] ArianaWhiteViolet: target physical influence ?????? [14:37] Jaxa Fiul: Well, you're trying to get her attention, but it's into the environment, so I'd go with environmental physical presence [14:37] Leigh Huet: so would I Jaxa [14:37] Goldy Lionheart: Leigh on the instance of shadows grappling Adra to the chair--couldn't you use an ability for that too? Like the Freeze them ability? Trying to understand the difference [14:37] Leigh Huet: actually yes you can [14:37] Edenz: or target, physical , influence...as she wants to get her attention [14:38] Leigh Huet: and that roll would not be wrong either Edenz [14:38] Leigh Huet: there is flexability based upon what is RPd [14:39] Leigh Huet: now..if I wanted to make the point stick in her shoe for instance now that changes the roll doesn't it [14:39] Leigh Huet: so what would the roll be then? [14:39] Goldy Lionheart: target physical harm [14:39] Goldy Lionheart: cause your harming her shoe [14:39] Adramalech Wardark: Target Physical Presence, since you're just trying to get her boot and not her foot. [14:39] Stary Dreamscape: target physical harm [14:40] Jaxa Fiul: I'd say target physical presence too [14:40] Leigh Huet: it would be the harm as goldy said..I am harming her shoe which is a part of her not the environment because she is wearing said shoe [14:40] Seras Tearfall: I just bought these boots ;_; [14:40] Unicornis Alchemi: Target Physical Presence [14:40] Leigh Huet: but I am not moving her [14:41] Leigh Huet: the only thing that is moving is my dagger... [14:41] Leigh Huet: I am not rolling to see if my dagger moves I am rolling to see if it sticks into her shoe [14:41] Leigh Huet: see the difference? [14:42] Unicornis Alchemi: Enviornment Physical grapple? [14:42] Goldy Lionheart: It's tricky [14:42] Leigh Huet: ok let me redo the attempt [14:42] Adramalech Wardark: Presence - To affect the target's presence. Teleporting, body deformations, other physical affects that has no harm, heal or change of mental. Sooo it could be presence too. [14:42] Unicornis Alchemi: that was something I had to do with my horn and didn't know how to roll for it [14:44] reaches down into her boot for her dagger, she then throws it aiming for the bottom of her shoe hoping that it would stick into it to get her attention. [14:44] Edenz: Are you still throwing the show or using magice to move it? [14:44] Leigh Huet: Victoria is my target, I am doing it physically [14:44] Zion Volos: Target physical harm. Presence is "other physical affects that has no harm" but you're harming the shoe, which is on her foot, so considered her. [14:44] Leigh Huet: the question now is what is the last part [14:45] Goldy Lionheart: target, physical, harm. Your still damaging the shoe [14:45] Leigh Huet: correct Zion.. [14:45] Zion Volos: \o/ [14:45] Leigh Huet: and then prays she doesn't get a stellar on a post like that..laughs [14:46] Leigh Huet: ok now you have an idea of choices for rolls lets talk about the outcomes you see [14:47] Shade Requiem: Question on the examples so far. [14:47] Leigh Huet: of course Shade [14:48] Shade Requiem: In the first, where you were throwing a knife into a chair to gain attention... [14:48] Leigh Huet: yes... [14:48] Shade Requiem: Would you -have- to roll something against the environment, since its not affecting a character directly, or can you just rp it out? [14:49] Leigh Huet: I would roll for it makes it more fun and by using the dice when there is an element of chance this is how you develop your charcter by doing things [14:50] Seras Tearfall: I have a question [14:50] Leigh Huet: I even roll against my partner sometimes depending on what we are doing [14:50] Leigh Huet: yes Seras? [14:50] Shade Requiem: Right, I agree it helps develop things, but what if you're trying to further something? It seems at times it would slow down the rp, or hinder it if its done too much? [14:51] Leigh Huet: actually did a RP with jitter she rolled to make the circle in blood it took over an hour but also made the RP more interesting [14:51] Unicornis Alchemi: I have a question when there is a free moment [14:51] Seras Tearfall: Specifically on the skills. Should one take the skill level of the skill being used into account? say I am just starting to use sword fighting and succeed, would we need to rp it worse depending on the post if the individual was a ledgend? [14:51] Leigh Huet: it takes out that just because you say it doesn't make it so...it isn't a hinderance more of adding that element of chance [14:51] Goldy Lionheart: I have a question too. *chimes in with the others* [14:52] Leigh Huet: ok slow down for me a moment....laughs [14:52] Leigh Huet: does that help shade? [14:52] Shade Requiem: I guess I'm just wary that some may overuse it. Such as determining when they sneeze if they're able to grab a handkerchief in time. Sounds silly, but I've had experience with people going overboard in dice meters. [14:52] Leigh Huet: some do that and a personal choice...there is no requirement for it however [14:53] Shade Requiem: I see, thank you. [14:53] Leigh Huet: Jitter used to roll just to see if she could get her cloak off all the time [14:53] Leigh Huet: and will admit the time she had 3 criticals in a row I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe [14:53] Leigh Huet: she RPd it caught in her horns and the image was too funny [14:54] Goldy Lionheart: ...batman? [14:54] Goldy Lionheart: *grin* [14:54] Edenz: laughs [14:55] Leigh Huet: in the end it is your RP and your choice when you wish to use the dice for your RP...but if your going to affect others it is always good when in doubt roll for it..have fun with it [14:55] Leigh Huet: ok now to Victoria's question [14:55] Zephan DellamorteZephan Dellamorte nods. [14:55] Leigh Huet: I will be honest and say...as ST's we have not talked about the reactions based upon the amount of knowledge one has with the skills [14:56] Leigh Huet: your knowledge of a certain level automatically does have an affect of what your success number would be however [14:56] Leigh Huet: so it does already take that into consideration for that outcome [14:56] Seras Tearfall: I would think it would be dufficult just because is someone with legend skills rped "Cuts your head off" then that is not the best posting [14:56] Leigh Huet: well we do not allow one shot kills either [14:57] Leigh Huet: does that address your question Seras? [14:57] Seras Tearfall: yes thank you [14:58] Leigh Huet: ok whos question was next goldy's or alchemi's [14:58] Goldy Lionheart: alchemi was before me [14:59] Leigh Huet: thank you I couldn't remember Alchemi what was your question? [15:00] Unicornis Alchemi: thank you goldy, My question is about combat warning and my horn. I used my horn to remove someones glove as a warning they were to close to me. How would I properly RP and roll for that? [15:00] Leigh Huet: ummmm /2/me attempt to move her horn towards his right hand hoping the tip would slice just the fabric wanting them to move away from her.. [15:01] Unicornis Alchemi: I stomped about and rolled to snag my horn on their approaching gloved hand [15:01] Leigh Huet: that sounds good too [15:01] Leigh Huet: then it would be target physical harm...for your wanting to harm the glove [15:01] Unicornis Alchemi: hmmmm I used grapple was that wrong? [15:02] Leigh Huet: did you want your horn to stay stuck on the glove? [15:02] Stary Dreamscape: sorry guys, I have to run, thanks for the information [15:02] Unicornis Alchemi: more like caught then fling my head to throw it in a random direction [15:03] Leigh Huet: yw welcome. Stary [15:03] Leigh Huet: well that sounds like a two stepper if your wanting the glove to go flying [15:03] Leigh Huet: first to grip it with your horn...grappel [15:03] Leigh Huet: then to move it presence [15:04] Leigh Huet: does that help? [15:04] Unicornis Alchemi: so two rolls? [15:04] Leigh Huet: I would say so..two significant actions [15:04] Unicornis Alchemi: do wait for the other person to reply before I post two? [15:05] Leigh Huet: always because they react based on the outcome of the roll [15:05] Unicornis Alchemi: ok, thank you [15:05] Leigh Huet: there is only one time you react to a roll and that is with a critical because it backfires [15:05] Leigh Huet: let me refrase that better [15:06] Leigh Huet: there is only one time you react to your own roll because it is a critical and it backfires on you only you can RP what happens to you [15:06] Leigh Huet: make sense? [15:06] Unicornis Alchemi: yes [15:06] Edenz: yeap [15:06] Leigh Huet: ok goldy your question [15:09] Goldy Lionheart: well I actually have a two part question -looks bashful. Sorry. The first one is about enviromentals, I've seen a lot of people rolling enviromentals as area of affect spells. Wouldn't they have an effect on the enviroment instead of the players, or am I misunderstanding them? I would think an ability would work better, but I wanted to clarify. My second part is well about the "it's a personal choice with no requirement" --and this is just a question because I was wondering, but if your attempting to assist someone or in a conflict, don't you kind of have to roll either dice or ability to affect them? Sorry that kind of confused me. [15:10] Leigh Huet: breaks down her question....when you are affecting multiple characters it is always best to use an area of effect or AOE ability first [15:11] Goldy Lionheart: *nod* I didn't understand how an AOE could be an enviroment, for instance someone using a sleep spell, because wouldnt' that affect the enviroment instead of targets? It confuses me. [15:12] Unicornis Alchemi: oh I see what you mean [15:13] Adramalech Wardark: I was under the impression that you rolled environment when effecting more than one person. So you rolled environment because the people are actually in and a part of the environment. [15:13] Leigh Huet: it would affect those nearest them the most...and only those in the room they are in because they are in the environment...but as I said use the AOE first..if you don't have an AOE that would fall within what your attempting the next best is to use the /9tar nearest....then the hud makes of choice of who you would be affecting instead of trying to affect a whole room...but a lot depends on the RP [15:13] Edenz: I thought that too Adra [15:13] Leigh Huet: and you are correct as well Adra they are in the environment but it would only be those in the same room [15:14] Adramalech WardarkAdramalech Wardark nods, "Sometimes people also use the % number to determine how many meters out the effect goes. [15:14] Leigh Huet: correct [15:14] Goldy Lionheart: so it's better to use an aoe ability though--that's what I was curious about. [15:15] Leigh Huet: yes it is better to use an AOE [15:15] Edenz: Ok sill question time ....what is AOE? [15:15] Goldy Lionheart: The second part is what you said about it being an RP choice to use the dice. Don't some situations pretty much demand dice? Like healing someone or damaging them? Because you can't tell how much damage or how much you help if you don't use the meter in some ability [15:15] Leigh Huet: area of effect [15:15] Edenz: TY [15:15] Unicornis Alchemi: - /9tar nearest doesn't work for me [15:16] Leigh Huet: I will have to double check on that command [15:16] Shade Requiem: Forgive me, have to exit. I'll catch the rest of this on the forums. Thank you for the class, Leigh. [15:17] Leigh Huet: and to answer your question Goldy it also depends on who your RPing with... [15:17] Leigh Huet: personally I always use the dice when I am affecting another player be it good bad or indefferent [15:18] Leigh Huet: and should be for everyone...but....if say...Nic and I wanted to just RP and go with it not using dice then he and I would have an agreement before hand [15:18] Leigh Huet: a lot of that depends on who your RPing with [15:18] Leigh Huet: does that make sense goldy? [15:19] Unicornis Alchemi: I always use dice with people I don't know every well [15:19] Seras Tearfall: Oh I need to talk to Kev about that, never fails to crit miss at cuddling [15:19] Goldy Lionheart: okay thank you Leigh, sorry that kind of confused me :) was thinking a stranger. [15:19] Leigh Huet: oh definatly with a stranger use the dice..smiles [15:19] Zion Volos: He would >.> [15:20] Leigh Huet: ok I havn't gotten to the outcomes and the class has already run over would you like me to continue? [15:20] Adramalech Wardark: I'm good for more. [15:20] Zion Volos: Same [15:20] Edenz: fine [15:21] Unicornis Alchemi: same [15:21] Jaxa Fiul: I'd love to continue [15:21] Leigh Huet: ok...smiles and continues [15:21] Leigh Huet: ok this I am just going to copy from the sight I gave you to save my fingers [15:21] Leigh Huet: Stellar Success - Almost perfect, better than expected. Success - A normal success. Bare Success - It was 50/50, this is borderline success. Miss - Was unable to hit the target, Could be out of range, out of power.... Critical Miss - Missed the target and possibility of self damage (gun backfired). [15:22] Leigh Huet: now having just dumped that on you going to give you a bit more based on that [15:22] Leigh Huet: Scenario: Joe winds up to hit Bob square over the head with a bottle. - Stellar Success : Joe smashes the bottle square over Bob's head with such force that it drops Bob. - Success : Joe hits the bottle square over Bob's head, causing damage. - Barely Successful : Joe hits the bottle on Bob's head but does not shatter, instead it bounces back. - Fail : Joe swings the bottle but whizzes past Bob's head. - Critical Fail : Joe swings the bottle but whizzes past Bob's head, smashing it instead on the beam behind him and getting glass in his hands. [15:22] ArianaWhiteViolet: nods [15:24] Leigh Huet: that is a good example of the type of reactions that can be done [15:24] Leigh Huet: so lets go with something simple [15:25] Seras TearfallSeras Tearfall likes simple [15:25] attempts to influence Adra to believe the sky is green and the grass is blue [15:25] Leigh Huet: I roll and get a stellar [15:25] Adramalech Wardark: Yeesh always picking on Adra! [15:26] Leigh Huet: what kind of reaction would go with that attempt [15:26] Lord Nic Luv: ((Nicolie Luv is in StoryTeller mode.)) [15:26] Adramalech Wardark: The sky is now green and the grass is now blue, as far as Adra's personal IC perception would go. [15:27] Leigh Huet: ok someone else what if I just got a success? [15:27] KestrelKestrel (Pretends to Be Adra) "Oooo pretty Clouds...Nice and green today..Odd that..hmm..and grass..blue grass..when did we get blue grass..ooo butterfly..wait..why do we have black butterflies?" [15:27] Unicornis Alchemi: rofl [15:27] Leigh Huet: laughs [15:27] ArianaWhiteViolet: giggles [15:27] Leigh Huet: ok someone else...bare success [15:28] Adramalech Wardark: O_o When did Adra become so flighty? [15:28] Zion Volos: Well, the sky's green now too... [15:28] Seras Tearfall: perhaps they are just tinted slightly not looking exactly green and blue [15:28] Edenz: well he would still believe the grass was aquamarine [15:28] Leigh Huet: nice it is a 50/50 on that maybe for a min beleives then sees the reality of it [15:28] Nicolie Luv: Lucky charms and pink horse shoes? [15:28] Leigh Huet: it sorta worked [15:28] Leigh Huet: laughs [15:29] Leigh Huet: ok miss [15:29] ArianaWhiteVioletArianaWhiteViolet looks at the sky and frowns , it seems to have a green tinge , she shakes her head [15:29] Zion Volos: sky is blue, grass is green, I suppose [15:29] Nicolie Luv: damn now I want cereal [15:29] Leigh Huet: correct because I did not convince him of anything [15:29] Leigh Huet: critical [15:29] Edenz: he would see the grass as green & the sky blue, nothing would change [15:29] Zion Volos: You see the sky green and the grass blue? haha [15:29] Edenz: critacal you migt see them the way you wanted him to [15:30] Leigh Huet: exactly [15:30] ArianaWhiteViolet: you might see the sky green yourself with critical [15:30] Edenz: bugger can't type or spell aaahhh1 [15:30] Leigh Huet: so this may take a bit...but if you like we can do a round robin where you get to apply everything we talked about today [15:30] KestrelKestrel Critical: Oooo blue grass. I need to sell this in the bar.. People will buy blue grass. [15:31] AlbaAlba looked to the blue sky and green grass and all was right in the world. Before turning to step away the unicorn gave Leigh a smirk as only unicorns could.

He leaps out of his chair covering his mouth, squeezing his eyes closed against the sights and scents. He wobbles as he walks, his chest heaving as he feels the bile building to vomit. It boils over and possibly lands in someone's lap. [15:50] Adramalech WardarkAdramalech Wardark focuses on their skill of Human Biology, successfully performs a physical presence on Drayke Fier.

[16:13] Adramalech Wardark: Nothing works. /9use Nothing [16:13] Leigh Huet: I always go with nothing [16:13] Leigh Huet: so time what adra said [16:13] Unicornis Alchemi: or maybe clear ability option? [16:13] Leigh Huet: type* [16:13] Goldy Lionheart: that is the clear ability option I think [16:13] Leigh Huet: typing /9use nothing clears the skill being used [16:13] Adramalech Wardark: Nothing means you focus on nothing.

In the background the decaying, bloated and fully eviscerated corpse of some nameless unfortunate laid upon the cold slate slab that adorned her study. Had it not been for the time of year the room would most certainly have been busy with the buzzing of bluebottles, thankfully the weather had not permitted such activity! Mona eased back in her chair, turning her head to the bloated, greening mass. She eyed – with a quiet smirk – the rusted and blood stained tools of dissection and amputation that lay upon the bench, some of which were of her own design… She noted in her haste she had allowed the sternum to fall to the ground, and that it had stayed there under the table, the flesh slowly transforming into a viscous liquid that oozed over the floor boards. To the side of this was a large glass vat filled to the brim with a number of dissected organs coated in formalin - a potent smell that Mona utterly adored. Perhaps at some point she would reconstruct the cadaver – a process she had mastered to a fine art – though at this stage of decomposition the task would be awkward and time consuming, and frankly she had neither the enthusiasm nor the patients right now… And if truth be told, she found the gore-ridden sight compelling and beautiful. But for now she would leave the room, turning her dark gaze one last time – her sly grin widening. She locked the door behind her and headed to the hospital hoping perhaps she would find Dr Bedrosian and that her formal introduction as the new resident Pathologist could take place.

Saerrn would tip her head to the three contestants as she watched her sire make her way in. "Best of words to all three of you," she'd murmur softly before slipping over further in the hall and taking position behind the main debate area, her eyes intently slipping around the room as she kept her mindful watch. Anjolie Criss "Hello Tinker. Good to see you." The Tinker took a seat near the back on one of the sides.. His gaze moving around... looking to all before looking to Anjolie, "Evening Miss.." Anjolie Criss "I trust you got my note?" Madame Vedis Seid steps into the hall, lifting the hood up off her horns carefully. Dark eyes taking in the room before moving in farther, tentacles curled tight around her under her cloak. The Tinker would slowly nod, "Aye Anjolie. If you are here alone... Have a seat... I have had my head in my owrk.. and I do not know much.. political rabble.." Anjolie Criss "Oh neither do I but Do you mind if we move a bit closer? I'm afraid I might have a bit of trouble hearing from back here." Emilia O'Boyle sat without a word... Her pale arms folded over her stomach clenching upon the flesh and pulling at the skin displacing pain as she stared intently at the podium.. The Tinker would slowly nod and stand up to walk around with her, "Mind if I join you?" Nathaniel Ballard: "Waves to Anjolie" Viola sits in silence and looks aroudn at the growing crowd, she sighs quietly and closes her eyes for a moment Charolette Treville politely stands at the back of the room, "I have heard there may be violence so I shall stand close to the exit," she whispers to herself. Anjolie Criss twitters a bit in her seat, "So Tinker .. have you ever been to one of these before?" Lady Leigh Luv hoped all were in hearing distance and began. "welcome one and all the the Great Debate. I am sure many already have at least met with your candidates but let me introduce you to them once again as I do let them come forward and stand before their podium. For your questions I will ask that you raise your hand I will take note in the order in which you raise your hand so that you may concentrate upon the answers given when it is your turn I will indicate when it is your turn. Listen, learn, and decide for Saturday you will make your final vote." The Tinker takes his seat and slowly nods, "A while ago..." He would fall silent as Leigh talks Pandora rushes in and slips into a seat just in time. Valene SilverPard slips into the hall and wanders over to Vedis' side, giving a tiny mew of greeting as she turns her eyes towards the stage Lady Leigh Luv: "First we have Adra Wardark" Lady Leigh Luv: "next would be Dr. Lux Tharnaby" Madame Vedis Seid smiles down at Val and rests a hand upon her shoulder, lifting her eyes to the candidates once more. Anjolie Criss claps but looks around to see if anyone else is clapping ... and then puts her hands down quick realizing she's the only one. Adramalech Wardark winks over to Anjolie. Victoria VanTassel slowly made her way int keeping to the back of the room as she stood guard at the door. Victoria seemed to kick her foot up behind her and lean against the wall as she looked over the group. Lady Leigh Luv: "and lastly Miss Modesty Bury....each will take 1st to answer a question as they are asked." Emilia O'Boyle took a long slow deep breath.. her exhale would growl slightly as a wrenching pain contorted her face.. never moving her hands to attempt to clap. Valene SilverPard leans intot he hand on her hand and gives a soft applause with Anj before quieting herself, whispering to Vedis "I can barely see mistress" Modesty smiles as she approaches her podium, giving a polite nod to the crowd. Lady Leigh Luv then looked over the assemlage and said. "who would like to ask the first question?" Charolette Treville looks around and smiles at the two ladies standing behind her. Modesty peeks around the podium, frowning a bit as its taller then she is.. Victoria VanTassel raises her hand as she kicks herself off the wall Clio looked from the candidates to the crowd finding the preceeding interesting. Pandora raises hand Gloriana fidgets in her seat a moment, and then straightens up to listen. Viola glances around and raises her hand Madame Vedis Seid hmms at Val's whisper, nodding once she steps around to the edge of the benches, to the steps, where Val could see better. Lady Leigh Luv inclines her head to Pandora and said ask your quetion Saerrn silently watches the three candidates take their places, her hands slipping to the small of her back where she cupped them lightly together as she inclined her head to the room around her, eyes piercing as she continued to remain watchful, listening quietly. Pandora: "How does each candidates propose to raise revenue to fund the basic services for the city. Health and safety, in particular. Thank you." Valene SilverPard follows Vedis gratefully, purring quietly. leaning against the the side of the bench "Thank you mistress" Lady Leigh Luv: "Adra will answer first on this round" Lady Leigh Luv inclined her head to viola indicating she will be next with her question. Viola smiles in response Madame Vedis Seid cocks an eyebrow at Leigh's hair, looking her over with a hint of amusement in her eyes before looking to Adra, tails flicking softly beneath her cloak. Adramalech Wardark nods, "I've made no secret of how I intend to raise funds for the city to function properly. I only wish for all of us to follow the laws of our city. I wish to see the tax laws enforced to help build the cities coffers from their seemingly dismal state. I don't intend to force anyone to pay back taxes because that would destroy every private citizen's finances. I will gladly be the first to pay my taxes I hope everyone would be willing to follow my example to ensure the future of our fair city." Lady Leigh Luv: "Dr. Tharnaby" Lux Tharnaby: "I'll get the job done by instating a new kind of city council, composed of business people and families, with members evenly distributed amonst us all. Future city councils will be invested in the city, as will be their sponsers, you citizens who put them there to begin with. The citizens will feel a connection to the government...and to raising funds as needed."" Lady Leigh Luv: "Miss Bury" Emilia O'Boyle gives a slow clap and a smile.. Madame Vedis Seid grins. Lady Leigh Luv would watch around the hall for any to raise their hands wishing to ask a question of the candidates so that she may keep track of the order. Victoria VanTassel kept her hand raised as the candidates spoke. Victoria's face stoic and emotionless at the moment as she simply waited for her turn. Modesty listens to the previous candidate's answer and then nods to Leigh. She looks to Pandora, directing her answer to her, "I don't believe there is any one answer. The City is for all intents and purposes a closed economy. Given the small number of people that can come and go at will there is not a large enough import or export of monies and goods to support trade. It means that other then some luxury items coming in we must be self sufficient. All goods and services that our citizens need must be made beneath the Darkness. Some of you have healthy and growing businesses by fulfilling a need within the City. Supply and demand. But how do we keep social services, like the hospital and the constabulary, afloat per your question." Modesty smiles over to Adramalech, "With all due respect to Mr. Wardark I did look into taxation and there are no current tax laws on the books." she looks back to crowd, "But taxation is definately a valid option, and one I would look into to understand who should be taxed, how much, and how would we collect it. I would also look to see what social services we currently have funded through the City coffers that may move to a pay for service model instead of being treated as a charity. Perhaps doctors in the hospital can supplement funding through appropriate fees. As might the constabulary with a fine model in working with the courts. I would pledge to look into all options and not just put in place a single solution." Lyn leaned forward and rested her elbows on her knees as her body shook. Trying to keep her focus on what the candidates were saying. Lady Leigh Luv inclined her head to Victoria indicating she was aware she then inclined her head to Viola for her to ask her question stating "Dr. Tharnaby will answer first." Viola clears her throat before speaking "How do the candidates intend to support and nurture independent businesses in the city, both new and old? And how would each candidate tax businesses?" The Tinker would listen with silence.. his hand reaching down to his leg absently, rubbing the metal casing. He would rbing his hand back and turns his attention to the three... curious himself. Lux Tharnaby: "I'll nurture businesses by giving them a chance to have a government that hears what they need from representatives each sends to the City Council. For those of you who don't already know, should i win, I won't be the one making these decisions, you will. This is what I will do should the citizens elect me as Mayor: 1. Thank the City Council members for their service. 2. Ask them all to step down. 3. Appoint new City Council members to change their bylaws. 4. Change City Council bylaws so residents pick the members. 5. Change City Council bylaws to dissolve the Mayor post. 6. Ask the City Council members to step down. 7. Ask families & businesses to submit choices for Council. 8. Choose a dozen qualified City Council members 9. Dismiss the Vice Mayor 10. Resign" Clio looked at Barrister Lyn with a raised brow then looked back to the podiums when she heard Dr Lux's response. Lady Leigh Luv remained emotionless and unmoving as she listened then said. "Miss Bury your answer." Dr. Giada Bedrosian put her gloved hand up towards her lip, hiding her small laugh as she listened to the answers. She then coughed and composed herself, her hands moving to interlace her fingers at her waist. Modesty nods to Viola, "I believe proper representation and open government will aid our independent business owners. Regular townhalls where business owners as individuals or perhaps as a group might come and voice their opinions and their concerns in an open forum. And then your mayor and council attempting to address those issues as they're raised. As for taxation I understand that there has been some discussion in the past on such topics. Certainly if taxation was the answer, either in the form of a sales tax or a property tax upon local businesses, then we would look to work with our local entrepeneurs to find a fair and appropriate manner of payment. Perhaps tax breaks for new businesses to ensure that they get a foothold before unfairly burdening what may be a difficult time initially in garnering business within the City". Lady Leigh Luv: "Mr. Wardark" Adramalech Wardark listens to the other two and smiles softly as his turn comes, "New businesses have to pay for a license in order to operate. Any business owner knows this. It has to be renewed after a certain time interval. This is basically all the taxes a business would need to pay. While Mistress Modesty seems to think that a city like ours is unable to support it's own economy she's a little mistaken. Business owners have to sell items, to buy these items citizens have to make money, to make money citizens need jobs from business owners. The same is true of a city wide tax on all of it citizens. Individuals pay their taxes, the city pays it's workers, the workers pay the business owners, the business owners pay their employees, everyone pays their taxes. This is how an economy works, and I think we're a large and powerful economy." Viola listens to the three answers with interest and nods in thanks to the candidates Lady Leigh Luv listens then inclines her head to Victoria and said. "your question madame. Miss. Bury will answer first." then gaze around the hall for any other hands from those wishing to ask their questions. Nathaniel Ballard raises a hand Lady Leigh Luv inclined her head to Nathaniel that she recognized his hand for the next question still looking over the group for any others. Victoria VanTassel stepped forward toward the benches "I will keep this question short and sweet, I hear what you intend to do to obtain money but with the recent events that have left the constables and other government funded organizations without money I ask, how will you prevent another situation like what happened with Mr. Bastion Steele seeming to up and leave with all the cities funds?" Madame Vedis Seid cocks an eyebrow at this news, chuckling softly. She looks back to the canidates, hand on her hip. Saerrn 's silvered blue orbs slipped to Victoria as the question was asked, a slow rising of her dark lips curling before looking between the three candidates. Pandora eyes widen. Lyn shook her head, wincing at the pain that it caused "Well at least now I know why they bring charges then aquit them.Got to raise funds somehow" she grumbled to herself. Modesty peeks around the podium, looking to the side and from beneath until she sees Victoria in the crowd. She finally frowns at the offending podium and steps to one side slightly before smiling, "I admit I am not privy to exactly how Mr. Steele made off with the City's funds. I would imagine that given the estimated size of the City's coffers it would have taken a wagon or two?" She tilts her head, pondering, "An interesting question. Aside from trust for your mayor, regardless of which of the three of us you choose, a simple solution would be to provide guards upon the City's vaults and the application of magical wards or seals upon it. I am not an expert but ensure that two or more officials from government need be present to open the seals to deposit or withdraw funds." Aisin raises her hand, diffidently. Lady Leigh Luv scanned the crowd always watchful for the raising of hands then said. "Mr. Wardark" incling her head to Aisin making note of the order. Adramalech Wardark nods as he listens to Modesty, "A sound plan Mistress Modesty. But a little over complicated. The cities money simply needs to be stored in a central location, such as the bank. I've never heard of it being robbed so it seems secure enough. Then just require a constable to accompany the treasurer that is selected to the safe and to the location the money needs to be taken to. Considering the funds it requires to pay any of the cities institutions and its workers it seems to make perfect sense for their to be a guard to protect the treasurer from brigands and themselves." Madame Vedis Seid laughs, biting her tongue to silence it. She hides her smile behind her hand and frowns, trying to look serious. Modesty frowns a bit at Adra's answer and tentatively puts up her hand, not sure she can ask a question or not. Dorian Thorn walked into the hall and looked about, looking around contemplatively. Charolette Treville sees Mr. Thorn, and waves Lady Leigh Luv raised her eyebrow to Modesty and said. "Please allow Dr. Tharnaby to answer first." Dorian Thorn catches sight of Belle and smiles happily. He makes his way to her. Modesty nods to Leigh respectfully, clasping her hands behind her back. Lux Tharnaby: "Victoria, the Mayor is not able to wave a magic want and cure the city's ills. (Well, the Mayor would be able to do that should you become Mayor one day.) The City Leaders need to delegate responsibility so that things get done by many busy hands, many busy minds. That's why I want to revitalize the City Council. What does the Mayor do? Fill the City Council with his or her cronies, that's what. And then he or she rages around about this and that and achieves nothing. No one wants to participate in a setup government. I've been living and working here for over two years. I've been Chief of Staff at the Hospital, and I've seen so many Mayors come and go. I find the constant bickering between the Mayor and the Council to be nothing but a distraction. And frankly, no one gives a damn. The position has *always* been a drain on all of our resources. Let the council make the laws. Let the families, clans and businesses revoke their representatives when their interests are not served. And let the council toss any lazy bones with a 2/3 vote of no confidence. That's all we need. Really." Lady Leigh Luv: "Miss Bury you wished to address a statement that was made in regards to this question." Modesty dips her head and murmurs, "Mr. Wardark, where do you think the City coffers kept now if not in the Bank?" Madame Vedis Seid chuckles, "In Mr. Steele's pockets?" she murmurs, rather loudly. Modesty looks to Madame Vedis with a barely contained smirk before peering back around her ponderous podium at Adramalech. Dorian Thorn takes a seat beside Belle. Adramalech Wardark: "The ex treasurer's pockets seems a likely location. But there's also the security of the constabulary itself. With all the constables there it would be exceedingly hard for someone to steal the funds as seems to have happened already. There are quite a few secure locations that the cities funds could reside in. One will simply have to be picked." The Tinker whispers as he turn to look at Anjolie, "I think... I heard enough... Would you be up for tea?" Saerrn 's lips quirk up the barest before she'd tighten her grip on her cupped hands before her face would slip back to its emotionless impassiveness, her feet shuffling quietly as she'd continue listening and watching the room around her. Lady Leigh Luv looked between the three constituants "is there to be further discussion on this topic?" Charolette Treville smiles at her friend, "Oh, the more I hear, the more confused I get, I wish I could be more help!" Modesty shakes her head and smiles to Leigh, "No, that was sufficient for me. Thank you milady" She turns back to the crowd. Anjolie Criss smiled thankfully at the Tinker, "Yes but perhaps later? I'm going to stay a bit longer." Eden Bucannan sneaks into the Hall, looking around for friendly faces and trying to listen in the candidates The Tinker would slowly nod before turning his attention back to the others. Dorian Thorn chuckles. Charolette Treville waves at Eden Lady Leigh Luv then inclined her head to Nathaniel and said. "your question sir Mr. Wardark will answer first." she then looked to see if any others raised their hands to ask their question. Nathaniel Ballard stands up John McMullian would walk up to the Madame and val, and stand silently with them.. having saw them from the enterence.. Viola glances around the hall as people continue to make comments about the city's coffers and spies Eden, she gives her a little wave and pats the seat next to her Pandora is still giggling at what Madame Vedis said. Takes out a square of linen and pretends to dab at her lips. PearlGrey smiles and nods at Eden. Madame Vedis Seid shakes her head and turns, looking to Val and John, she lifts the hood of her cloak back up over her horns and steps to the door, the night calling to her. "Fun, fun." she murmurs softly. Dorian Thorn waves at Eden. Nathaniel Ballard: "Thank you madam magistrate. My question is for all candidates, but primarily for the good doctor. Firstly, I am not a big business, I have no family ,and I am not in any clan, cult or other group. Who represents me? Who will be my voice? Secondly, what recourse do people like me, not a big business etc, have when the representatives on this council are doing their job very well, representing the interests of big business to the extent that it is to the detriment of those who aren't part of that business or clan?" Valene SilverPard tilts her head back as John joins them before smiling and looping her fluffy tail around his wrist welcomingly, her attention turning back to the stages, starting as Vedis moves off "Should we follow?" She whispers ot him Eden Bucannan waves back to Viola, making her way over to her to sit down , nodding and waving to people she knows on the way. Guest Lecture: January 19: Victorian Weapons http://larps.net/lc/topic/guest-lecture-january-19-victorian-weapons#post-8942 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 02:01:43 +0000 Seras Tearfall Seras Tearfall 8942@http://larps.net/lc/ [17:00] Seras Tearfall: Ok all I will try and not be as long winded as my last class. Let us begin. Hello for those who do not know me I am Victorian and I have the pleasure of being one of legacies greets, so if you have any questions feel free to ask me and we will get you all fixed up [17:01] Snyper Chesnokov: Heya Seras [17:02] Seras Tearfall: This class we will be talking about Victorian weapons and what you would most likely find in London at that time period. My first questions is, would one most likely find a Katana in Victorian London? [17:02] Aisin: ! [17:02] Seras Tearfall: Yes Aisin? [17:02] PersephoneKore Plutonian: I would says yes [17:03] PersephoneKore Plutonian: if it was imported [17:03] Aisin: Wasn't there a craze for all things Japanese for a while? If Gilbert And Sullivan are to be believed. However apart from on someone's wall, no, a katana would probably not be a weapon of choice. [17:03] Aisin: Nor would my claws. [17:04] Snyper Chesnokov: I would say Yes for a diferent reason... The museums.... [17:05] Seras Tearfall: All good answers and yes Aisin, plausibly if you were wishing to carry a Katana you would most likly have come from Japan or an area near it. or had it special ordered. Though the other swords of the time are much more fitting I personally think to London rp [17:08] Seras Tearfall: Most common sword you would see in London in 1891 would be Rapiers, Cutlasses, Sabers, and even the occasional Gladius, the one thing you have to remember is London was a navel force to be feared. and the weapons would normally react that with naval officers and what not [17:08] Seras Tearfall: can someone tell me what most of these swords have on common? [17:08] Snyper Chesnokov: A gladius? Suprised about that... that was a standard for Roman legionairs... [17:09] Vain Adder: Yes, but that style was used for a long peroid of time as it was simple and easy to manufacture [17:09] Seras Tearfall: yes very good fact there snyper, they are also used for officers swords or decorative pieces swords to be worn when being fancy and yes Vain [17:09] Snyper Chesnokov: Other than that... they are all thin... more for slashing and 'whiping' You do not stab much with a thin sword... for the possibility of it breaking [17:10] Vain Adder: Most of the swords from the era were double edged, where as a katana would have been single [17:11] Keighvin Silvansky: One of the things they mostly had in common was a hand cage to protect the hands. [17:13] Seras Tearfall: Excellent all of you. the weapons of the time as snyper said were mores used for slashing and that has a history in their navel fleets, if your ship was being borded and the enemy ship had gotten ropes over to your ship you are not going to want to stab at them, you are going to want to chop them, and get free. This also required a short sword not a large two handed sword of years before. [17:14] Seras Tearfall: And everyone I am wanting to you to keep this in mind that even though we are going over this we are not telling you how to rp, if you have a plausible reason for having whatever weapon you carry then that is wonderful. [17:14] Snyper Chesnokov: The Cutlass.. was mostly a pirate sword... [17:15] Seras Tearfall: Protecting the hand was important, Victorian medicine was rather primitive, an injured hand could mean someone who could not fight from then on out. Blades of the time period tended to reflect that, as armor on the hands was not common. The style of weapon reflected that weakness. [17:15] PersephoneKore PlutonianPersephoneKore Plutonian taps her frying pan and gives a wink around the room. [17:15] Keighvin Silvansky: May I intrude for a moment Victoria? [17:15] Seras Tearfall: be my guest Kev [17:16] Keighvin Silvansky: A cutlass is a short, broad sabre or slashing sword, with a straight or slightly curved blade sharpened on the cutting edge, and a hilt often featuring a solid cupped or basket shaped guard. It was a common naval weapon. Especially in 1890 Victorian Europe and france. [17:16] Seras Tearfall: wiki much Kev? =P j/k [17:16] Keighvin Silvansky: So yes, quite likely to be seen on any naval officer, or pirate *wink* [17:17] Seras Tearfall: Ok so lets get back on track, with weapons comes plausibility as I stated before, people did not just give birth to weapons. They need to either be rp brought with you, ordered from barnes or Ragnoth, or see a rp smithy. [17:18] Seras Tearfall: or made [17:19] Seras Tearfall: if you get the items to make a weapon and get it approved with the sts about forging it then by all means go for it. it is a fun rp I must say [17:19] bellezora: What if Charolette had a derringer in her luggage on the way over? [17:19] Snyper Chesnokov: Plausible [17:19] Seras Tearfall: then that would be you brining it with you... but remember there is a gun license required for personal fire arms [17:20] Seras Tearfall: and there may be an ic consiquence if you do not have a gun license and you are found with it [17:20] Seras Tearfall: Ok any questions so far? [17:21] Snyper Chesnokov: A history question seras? [17:21] Snyper Chesnokov: for all? [17:21] Seras Tearfall: oh god, I am no history buff but fire away (Gun Pun) [17:21] Snyper Chesnokov: Now... which type of gun was used to kill Lincoln? [17:21] Aisin: What about other..less glamorous weapons like coshes, brass knuckles, pocketknives, and so on? [17:22] Snyper Chesnokov: without using wiki... shoulda asked that yesterday... [17:22] Snyper Chesnokov: lol [17:22] Aisin: A muzzle loading derringer? [17:22] Gloriana Maertens: *grins [17:22] Inumaru Udein: it was a SW revolver :3 snyper [17:22] Inumaru Udein: i believe [17:23] Snyper Chesnokov: It was not a revolver [17:23] Snyper Chesnokov: Aisin got it right... it was a Derringer [17:23] Seras Tearfall: those are all acceptable, and to my knowledge I have not seen anyone use them in a fight ...and thank you for saving your teacher class ^_^ [17:23] Aisin: What about things like these claws? [17:23] Aisin: Iwould need to have them made? [17:24] Seras Tearfall: Hello Pink, and if they are metal then as other weapons you would need them made of have brought them with you [17:24] Aisin: Thank you. [17:24] Pink Gearz: Thank you Victoria.. *kicks lag* [17:25] PersephoneKore PlutonianPersephoneKore Plutonian waves at Pink [17:25] Pink Gearz: *waves madly* [17:26] Seras Tearfall: Ok so on to ranged weapons, so why is everyone not walking around with pistols and shooting each other? [17:27] Aisin: You can hit people you weren't aiming at? [17:27] Snyper Chesnokov: Um... pistols were not that accurate back then? Unlike the rifles of the time.. such as the winchesters. [17:28] Gloriana Maertens: They were also pretty pricy, as I recall. [17:28] Gloriana Maertens: And aren't they single shot right around now? [17:28] Inumaru Udein: because they were mostly military, or sporting.. not for murder.. sometimes >> [17:29] Snyper Chesnokov: Nope Glori... THey had the Winchester Repeater [17:29] Gloriana Maertens: Ah yes, of course. [17:29] bellezora: Ha ha...military is still killing isn't it? [17:29] Inumaru Udein: :I [17:30] Seras Tearfall: Exactly both of you, the old version pistols are not the weapons we have today, the first ever cartridge round being commercially used in Britain is around 1856, so that technology was still fairly new and at first only being used in rifles [17:30] Inumaru Udein: i believe pump action shotguns >> [17:30] Inumaru Udein: it's not till maybe at least the 1900 is when box cartrages came to pistols :I [17:30] Inumaru Udein: hehe.. 1911 :3 [17:30] bellezora: I saw a movie, yesterday, set in 1763 and they were using rifles... [17:31] Snyper Chesnokov: Aye Belle... [17:31] Seras Tearfall: yes, but mostly likely in that year a black powder rifle with a musket ball type ammo [17:31] Gloriana Maertens: <-- prefers to use her melodious singing voice as a weapon and shies away from boomsticks. :D [17:31] bellezora: Yes [17:32] Keighvin Silvansky: *coughs* Folks, chit chat is fine, as is replying, please respect Victoria as this is her lecture. Let's try to stay on topic and let her do so. [17:32] bellezora: ummm sorry Victoria [17:32] Seras Tearfall: those were not the most accurate of weapons. the first Cartriage revolver came out in 1856 in the USA from a little company called Smith and Wessons.. anyone heard of them ;) [17:32] Seras Tearfall: oh no worries Bell you were making a statement [17:33] Seras Tearfall: K so we covered guns, does anyone have a question at this point? [17:33] Seras Tearfall: ^gun history [17:34] PersephoneKore Plutonian: I know nothing about weapons [17:34] PersephoneKore Plutonian: well almost nothing [17:35] Inumaru Udein: can i list some that would be ok :D ? please. [17:35] Inumaru Udein: for what i know and so i can get understanind of good and bad D: ? [17:35] Seras Tearfall: weapons? sure [17:35] Inumaru Udein: repeaters/ lever action rifles [17:36] Inumaru Udein: black powder rifles [17:36] Inumaru Udein: latch release shotguns [17:36] Inumaru Udein: sawed off, unsure >> [17:36] Inumaru Udein: lagg [17:36] Inumaru Udein: maybe pump action ? [17:36] Inumaru Udein: revolvers, flintlock pistols [17:36] Inumaru Udein: blunderbusts [17:37] Inumaru Udein: just to name a few >> [17:37] Inumaru Udein: and don't forget people.. though we have to be time accurate.. don't mean steam punk can't help out :D [17:37] Snyper Chesnokov: But... Automatics are out... even with the gatlin being plausible... [17:38] Inumaru Udein: meaning.. if you can put a spring in a metal drum, you can likely make a really old fasion version of the more modern AA-12 [17:38] Inumaru Udein: using logic >> [17:38] Vain Adder: By 1891 a Blunderbuss would be an antique, as well as a match lock and wheel lock firearm [17:38] Inumaru Udein: very true.. but people could still use em.. if their not fragile :I [17:39] Vain Adder: Yes, but unlikely [17:39] Inumaru Udein: as they say, if it ain't broke.. us it [17:39] Inumaru Udein: use* [17:39] Seras Tearfall: Repeater, lever yes, black powder yes, latch / break action yes, sawed off was not to popular because most made them poorly and they exploded in your face and were a damage to everyone. Pump action was not till 1897, revolvers, flintlocks yes, and as you said blunderbuss is ancient [17:39] Inumaru Udein: ^.^ [17:39] Vain Adder: Those are also highly unreliable weapons, even the flintlocks are [17:39] Seras Tearfall: the one thing I may add is revolving carbines, like a revolver but in a rifle. quite cool looking if I may say [17:40] Vain Adder: The flintlocks would be much more common and still used [17:40] Snyper Chesnokov: well the double barrel shotgun, or the underslung barrel, were kinda common... as coach guns... [17:40] Inumaru Udein: *nods* :I [17:40] Inumaru Udein: true.. [17:40] Inumaru Udein: to which, if i remember.. also had a bayonette attached in the middle.. ( saw one on pawn stars) [17:41] Seras Tearfall: Ok carrying on I wanted to talk a bit about Legacies gun rules. Does anyone know right off hand the maximum clip sized allows for guns in legiaces? [17:41] Inumaru Udein: actually no.. i'd say maybe 14 round ? [17:42] Inumaru Udein: rounds* [17:42] Inumaru Udein: in a rifle [17:42] Inumaru Udein: XD [17:42] Vain Adder: Five [17:42] Seras Tearfall: OH so close john, it is actually 15 is the size max, and it must have at least a 3 second reload time [17:43] Seras Tearfall: Buuuut it really doesnt matter, because all damage is rped here... [17:43] Seras Tearfall: basically just saying "Hey... no machine guns." [17:44] Seras Tearfall: Also you have to make sure your weapons does not orbit cage or instant kill [17:44] Seras Tearfall: any questions before we start to wrap up? [17:45] Pink Gearz: no. [17:45] Inumaru Udein: umm.. could i have you check my one rifle.. just to check :3 [17:45] Inumaru Udein: after class i mean [17:46] Seras Tearfall: Just remember. e. You don't need any scripts for LaRPS. In fact no scripts are needed at al. Rez a prim, attach it to your arm, you'll do the same damage as when you bought that 5000L Uber Super Sword. Basically, LARPS is essentially free. It was designed that way by TriJin, No, it does not use the LL Damage System. It uses the system that TriJin invented. The weapons you buy from shops are not scripted with damage, they are scripted to vanish/show when drawn or sheathed. Their scripts also play animations for various keystrokes. That kind of scripting is quite simple and many free scripts are available for playing animations, and plausibility is everything. If you every have any questions about allowed or banned weapons you can always ask an st [17:47] Seras Tearfall: and if no one has any further questions we are done, everyone shoudl stay aroudn a few moments while we pass out experiance [17:47] Keighvin Silvansky: and merits :) [17:47] Inumaru Udein: and merits.. i was promised merits :3 [17:47] PersephoneKore Plutonian: I have been building weapons for someone should I have them checked by a ST? [17:47] Seras Tearfall: and merits.... [17:47] Keighvin Silvansky: so hold up please :) [17:48] Seras Tearfall: make sure your meters are on everyone Pearl Grey purchases fabric from Jackson Barnes http://larps.net/lc/topic/pearl-grey-purchases-fabric-from-jackson-barnes#post-8936 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:23:35 +0000 PearlGrey Resident PearlGrey Resident 8936@http://larps.net/lc/ [14:48] PearlGrey puts on her cloak again and makes her way out into the cold to see if Barnes has fabric. [14:54] PearlGrey picks up a wooden bucket [14:55] PearlGrey smiles. "Hello Ned, do you have a moment?" [14:55] Ned: What do ya want? Can't you see I'm busy. [14:57] PearlGrey sighs. "Of course you are. I need some sheer fabric immediately to make something to wear to a party on Saturday evening. It's too late to order it and I'm wondering if there's anything on hand that people have ordered and neglected to pick up." [14:58] Ned: How should I know. I'm just a poor grunt. [15:01] PearlGrey smiles sweetly and bats her eyelashes a little. "No, no you're not. I know that Barnes couldn't do without you. Remember me? I ordered the fencing gear and paid an exhorbitant price for it? Now I just want to see if there's any sheer lavender fabric about--in a lavender or pink perhaps. There's to be a harem party at Underhill. Are you going?" She tilts her head and gives him a shy smile. [15:03] Ned: Pleased to meet ya... Not! Now let me get back to work before the boss sees me. 15:04] PearlGrey shakes her head. "Ned, we've already met. What's the matter with you today?" She gives him a look and goes inside to look around. [15:08] PearlGrey shaking her head goes inside and looks around the area with forgotten items. Sneezing, she patiently looks putting everything back as carefully as she found it. Finding some sheer fabric in a blue color, she lays it out seeing it will be enough for her costume. [15:11] PearlGrey meekly goes up to Jackson Barnes, holding the fabric. Jumping back a bit as he barks at her, she gathers her courage and requests to purchase the fabric. "Remember me, Pearl Grey? I ordered a fencing suit from France about a month ago. I work for Doctor Foxtrotter and we've corresponded." She winces as he snarls something under his breath. She attempts to use a soothing and appreciative manner on him. [15:12] PearlGrey focuses on their practiced skill of Persuasion, critically misses in performing a mental presence on the environment. [15:14] PearlGrey jumps back startled as he slams his fist down on the counter yelling something about being busy and not interested in the finery and frumpery of tarts. She stumbles and falls, skinning her elbow. As it starts to bleed, tears come to her eyes. "Damn you, now I'll have an ugly scab at the party, you old grump ass!" [15:17] PearlGrey scurries to her feet as he demands she get up before someone comes in and sees her. "Look, I don't want to be here any longer than you want me here. This fabric is sitting around in your way. I'm offering to buy it from you! I'll take it off your hands and you can make some coins." [15:17] PearlGrey fumbles for money in her reticule and flashes some of it, hoping that will expedite the business at hand. [15:18] PearlGrey focuses on their practiced skill of Persuasion, successfully performs a physical presence of 8% on the environment. [15:20] PearlGrey sees the glint of greed alight in the eyes of Barnes. She offers a fair amount for the fabric and is shocked when he names a price that's double what she's offered. "I'm doing you a favor by taking this off your hands. Why on earth would you charge me twice what it's worth? I've a mind to just forget it. It can sit here and rot for all I care." She goes to put the fabric back where she found it. [15:24] PearlGrey turns to see Barnes has apparently forgotten about her already. She smiles sweetly and attempts to reason with him. "If this goes well, I can remind people there are items laying about here and perhaps you can make a little more money off them." [15:24] PearlGrey focuses on their practiced skill of Persuasion, gets a stellar success in performing a mental presence of 15% on the environment. [15:25] PearlGrey hides a triumphant grin as she sees him glance greedily at her purse. After haggling a bit more, they agree on a price and she goes to pay the register. The blue fabric is hers! [15:33] Cash Register churns and splutters, "Exact money please. No refunds are given if you pay too much.", The machine appears to giggle but you shake your head and realize it's just some internal gears churning due to old age. [15:33] PearlGrey gives some money to Cash Register [15:35] PearlGrey smiles at Ned. Holding up the fabric she whispers. "I managed to get the old bastard to give me what I needed...don't know why he's so mean." [15:35] Ned: Yeah right. Get my attention so I lose time. I'll probably be docked wages for this. No thanks to you. [15:36] PearlGrey shakes her head. "You know that's not my intention at all Ned." [15:36] PearlGrey hums to herself as she returns to her home. Jackson Barnes reads the morning post http://larps.net/lc/topic/jackson-barnes-reads-the-morning-post#post-8924 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:40:34 +0000 BenBold Resident BenBold Resident 8924@http://larps.net/lc/ Mr Barnes looked up as he heard the sound of whistling in the street. He looked at the clock and then shook his head with a wry grin. "Ridiculous idea," he muttered. "It's way too early for the lads." He grabbed his cane and opened the door, looking down at the street. He nodded politely to the source of the whistling; the postman, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs, sorting through his bag. "Good morning, Wallace," he said, with a slight smile. "Right you are there, Mr Barnes," said Wallace, pulling out a handful of letters and catalogues as he started up the stairs. "Just a few for you this morning." Mr Barnes leaned down and took the handful of post. "Thank you, Wallace. And how is your lady wife? Feeling any better?" Wallace grinned as he fastened the cover of his bag. "Much better thanks. Those pills you got for her have done her the world of good, whatever they were. That and the special reserve brandy." Mr Barnes nodded. "I'm glad to hear it, Wallace, I'm glad to hear it. Good morning to you." He nodded one final time as Wallace sauntered down the street, whistling again, and went inside. "Special reserve, indeed," he laughed, glancing at the row of very ordinary looking bottles on the shelf and the envelope of assorted labels. Lighting a cigar, he sat down to peruse the post. "Ah, finally, the price for Mr Mateem's still." He slit open the envelope and read it quckly. "Dear sir.... your esteemed order... we have decided to add the 10 gallon still to our product range... absorb the design costs.... 500 coins more than the five gallon version, total to you, including delivery of 6000..... Hmmm, interesting. Now what did I tell him?" He leafs through his clipboard. "Hmm, I told him 1000 extra on top of the 6000 for the five gallon one, so that'll be a nice little bonus." He grined at the thought of an unexpected profit margin. A few more letters were quickly scanned and placed on his in-tray, then he turned his attention to a rather ornately inscribed catalogue. "Zebulon Crabbe's Exotic Plant Emporium" was the title on the front. He leafed through it quickly, raising an eyebrow now and again. "Hmmm, some interesting stuff here," he muttered to himself. "Ah, mandrake. Finally. Five coins for just three seeds?" He let out a low whistle. "Ah well, it's his money." He pulled a sheet of notepaper and envelope out of the drawer and scribbled a note to Mr Mateem, c/o Raylon Loordes. He put it in the tray ready for the late morning collection and settled back, browsing through the exotic plant catalogue with interest.

For those of you who do not know me my name is Keighvin, but you are welcome to call me Kev, everyone does. I have the honor and privledge to be a storyteller in Legacies 1891. [14:03] K.D. Silvansky : ((Keighvin Silvansky is in StoryTeller mode.)) [14:04] K.D.: First of all we're going to cover some basic information of the sim--but some of this is new ladies and gentlemen. We are constantly getting new things from the dark lord brought down to us, so the information might not be what your expecting. The first thing I'd like to cover is what is a Storyteller? Anyone? [14:06] Edenz: Experienced Legacies RP's who we can go to for suggestions if we feel our RP is stale or if we need a ruling on some outcome? [14:06] Gloriana Maertens: People who assist and facilitate RP here on Legacies. [14:06] Gloriana Maertens: ...if I had to give a quick "pat" answer. I'm ure there's more to it. :) [14:07] K.D.: That is an excellent answer Gloriana. Storytellers are people who facilitate and assist, and protect the immersion of Legacies. So, the next thing I'd like is for everyone to give me one question you might ask yourself before calling an ST? [14:07] Victoria VanTassel: am I effecting the enviroment? [14:08] K.D.: Excellent Victoria. [14:08] K.D.: What's one of the other five? Anyone else? [14:09] K.D.: Alright, I'll help you guys out..Ask yourself 5 Simple Questions about your rp... [14:09] Gloriana Maertens: Will my health be affected [14:09] K.D.: Bingo Gloriana. Affect Health? [14:09] K.D.: Affect Strength? [14:09] K.D.: Affect Life? [14:09] K.D.: Affect Mental State [14:09] K.D.: Affects ANY visible object or build. [14:09] K.D.: Does anyone know why the last one might be? [14:10] Victoria VanTassel: possessions? [14:10] Victoria VanTassel: scratch that [14:10] K.D.: One of those reasons is recording the roleplays. For instance, if you burn a whole in a building. We can put down what we call a stateball-this ensures that other people will see the changes. [14:11] RP Target Ball: rezzed [14:11] Victoria VanTassel: like breaking and entering, destroying property [14:11] RP Target Ball: rezzed [14:11] K.D.: This is what a Stateball looks like. [14:11] K.D.: It helps us know where to look to find the rp so we can make sure that everyone see's the same thing. [14:12] K.D.: Now, you can call an ST by having your meter and hud on , and typing in /9st [14:12] K.D.: This will on most viewers open a dialogue box [14:13] K.D.: So just because a ST shows up in a RP this does not mean you are in trouble. [14:13] K.D.: A lot of times it's just to record something or to ensure fairness with dice rolls. [14:14] K.D.: So, when a ST comes on the scene, their's a couple of different things they might say. The first is usually [14:14] Pause RP [14:14] K.D.: This means the scene is held for a few minutes up to 30 so they can read information leading up to the rp. [14:14] DEFER [14:15] K.D.: This means that a Scene is held a day until ALL players are going to continue-- this is VERY rare. [14:15] VOID LAST POST [14:16] K.D.: This means that the last post was voided for a reason, it has been completely voided and rolled back until the previous post. [14:16] VOID [14:16] K.D.: Scene is completely removed and rolled back to a certain timestamp. [14:16] K.D.: Complete Void's are very very very rare. We don't like to do them. The Reforging of The Tinker http://larps.net/lc/topic/the-reforging-of-the-tinker#post-8908 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:39:03 +0000 Snyper Chesnokov Snyper Chesnokov 8908@http://larps.net/lc/ The Tinker looked down at his work with a sigh, his finger joins burning with arthritis as he continues on, “This head… I hope it will work fine. The thing I need is a large enough and a light enough crystal to preserve my memories and everything that is I. Without that crystal, this golem cannot become me. I will talk to a few people about it at some time in a private setting.” He would turn quiet as he places the gears into the rigging that was set for them. The void in the center almost painfully obvious. He would place a cloth over what he had done with the head and moves it over to his other work bench to keep it safe. He then heads up the stairs of his place and looks toward the boxes, “Now… the hands…” He would look through the boxes, picking out pieces here and there, placing them on his person, in his pockets. He then heads down the stairs with careful ease and heads to the work bench. He pulls out the pieces and places them on the work bench, wires, metal tubes, small gears, and a multitude of other metal pieces. He arranges the pieces carefully and slowly starts to work on the fingers, taking great care with each and every placement. His hands burning, he pauses and reaches for the vial, rubbing some of the arthritis balm on his fingers. He waits a few minutes before going back to his work. Hours later, he finds himself down with a few fingers, his hands complaining loudly to him now. “I need to get this done… soon…” He would shake his head and pile the remaining scraps near the partially completed hand and place another cloth over it. He shakes his head slowly, knowing that his time, even with the lungs, as Doctor Katherine said, were that of his age long ago. He looks down to his leg, the one replaced with his earlier mechanization with a slight sigh, “The first piece is done... I have much more to go and maybe a few months. I do hope this new body will work out for me… if not… The Tinker, I, will be no more.” He turns off the light in the work room and headed up to his bed to lay down, his metal leg detached and placed at the head of the bed on the floor.

[17:37] The Tinker would nod, "Aye I do... for the right price. It all depends on the plausibility.... and some other factors..." His hands drop the knife and fork on the plate... grimacing slightly... before flexing his hands briefly and picking the tool back up, "What do you have in mind sir?" [17:40] Vincent considered for a moment "Well.. as you can see, I am in possession of a healthy human body. But.. I would not be opposed to making bold alterations like yourself. Infact.. I would like to visit your shop and explore the possibilities." [17:44] The Tinker would look up to him, his face looking bitter, "This design was first intended for those that have lost their own limbs by an accident... I had it done on purpose to test my own design and... how would someone say it... walk a partial lifetime in someone else's shoes?" He would sigh a bit before placing the plate on the table in front of him, giving Borris an apologetic nod before standing up, "If you still want to come, i need to head on home anyhow. I need to continue on with another project." [17:44] Vincent followed and spoke while following "Perhaps we could replace my bones with iron to make them unbreakable..." [17:46] The Tinker would pause in his steps, "Let us talk about this... at my place..." and heads on out.. shaking his head. [17:56] Vincent brought his leg up to rest on his knee then "What kind of metal is your leg crafted from ?" [17:57] The Tinker would open the door, and close it after the man entered. He would point toward the front chairs as he hobbles over to his own chair, "Copper, a bit of iron, and some other alloys. What is your name sir?" [18:00] Vincent seemed to pause then "Jeffrey .. Worthington.. is my name. I am a cigar salesman." and he attempted to be convincing [18:00] Vincent focuses on their practiced legendary skill of Persuasion, successfully performs a mental influence on The Tinker. [18:03] The Tinker would slowly nod... his eyes flickering about. He would look over his shoulder through the glass at the cloth covered project before looking back to Vincent, "So... Jeffery... You would wish for me to build a replacement leg?" [18:04] Vincent canted his head at the covered object "Actually, I'd like to see your most recent work first. Perhaps you'd like to show me ?" [18:08] The Tinker would slowly nod, "Some of the works are out there... with customers, some watches... and some other items." He would stand up and head over to the door, slipping a key out of his pocket and unlocking the door, "Few come back here Jeffery. Only customers..." He holds the door open after hearing the familiar click of the tumblers. [18:12] Vincent nodded with understanding "I will keep that in mind.. what should I call you ?" and he approached the workbench and leaned on his cane [18:13] The Tinker would slowly nod, sitting down on the stool, "The Tinker... simply." He would then pull the cloth off his recent project, "The start of a bigger construction... A body of a sorts..." He would see the start of what can be called a head. [18:22] Vincent narrowed his eyes then "I see. ..I do believe I have my eyes on that, I most certainly do." his eyes studied each part quickly and then he regarded the short genius of a man "Sir.. Tinker.. would you put such a prototype up for sale and if so, is there a number which could possibly measure your desired profit-margin ?" [18:28] The Tinker would look over his work, his eyes flickering along the construction. His eyes would snap back to Vincent, "Jeffery... This is the start of a golem... I will not mas produce golems... It is unwise to mass produce Golems that are hard to destroy by regular means.... This golem.. would take a reasonable hit... Only a train would be able to destroy it comepletely if everything comes together well..." He would look back to the head, "This is not something you would tamper with... My mentor.. master.. what ever you would call him after being under his foor for a decade..." He would shake his head, "He made a golem that he could not control..." [18:33] Vincent listened carefully then "I see. Please do not take my offer of coin as an insult. To commercialize your artistry would undeniably diminish it." he gestured with velvet gloves and leaned on his cane "I've also learned from experience like you... the way of being cautious. I pity your mentor, really I do.. so even if you could sell me some sort of lesser golem.. I would be most confidential.. and grateful." [18:36] The Tinker would look back to the head.. before looking back to the man, "Such as a bird? or another... animal?" [18:38] Vincent paused "Actually.. something about my size and symmetrical like a human would be perfect. But if that is the only humanoid creation you plan to design then I understand your desire to keep it." [18:39] Anjolie Criss wrapped on the window as she waved with a smile to the Tinker. Then moved on. [18:40] Vincent noted an attractive woman at the window and so he turned toward the Tinker in a whisper "My word. Your daughter is exceptional, Sir." [18:41] Anjolie Criss moved her head to the right to see the other, not recognizing him she would smile and wave at him nonetheless. [18:43] Vincent nodded cordially to her and like a gentleman he did not watch her as she walked away, but he was sort of stiff in posture as if he was forcing himself not to "So.. perhaps I should give you some time to think my offer over. Please remember that I am serious and I will make your genius worth your time in coins." [18:44] The Tinker would snap his gaze to the window.. his gaze landing on Anjolie.. before nodding to her, giving her a curt nod before turning his gaze back to Jeffery, "Sir, I will not make a human..." stopping suddenly, "She... is not my daughter... I have not had sex.. at all..." He would shake his head before continuing on, "Human golems are not my forte... This is a body... for me..." [18:46] Vincent held up a delicate hand to The Tinker "Please.. do not make any firm decisions yet... and if nothing else, perhaps we could try my idea of replacing my bones with iron. I will take my leave of you and let you continue your personal golem, which you might sell to me one day." [18:55] The Tinker would just shake his head, "There is no way I will make a stand alone human golem... The body is my own.... it will become my own..." He would sigh a bit before turning around on the stool, "As for the iron bones... I do not have any study in how the body would work with iron. I do not want to be the cause of your death. IF you can... visit the hospital... or find a Doctor Katherine. She will know more than I..." [18:58] Vincent paused with one of the doors partway open "Sir.. I will come back and see you about the bones. You needn't worry about being the death of me. I do know where the hospital is, as I recently made a donation there. Please consider this." and he would push on and out to the next door "Thank you Sir.. until next time." [19:00] The Tinker would nod before turning around to face his work, "Seems like there is someone that might respect this work..." He would place the cloth over the work and stand up to walk the man out, "Have a good evening Jeffery..." [19:01] Vincent: /me gave a cordial nod and descended the steps out into the cobblestone street Wherein Lyra visits Borris http://larps.net/lc/topic/wherein-lyra-visits-borris#post-8902 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 01:12:13 +0000 Astrid Floresby Astrid Floresby 8902@http://larps.net/lc/ Lyra sets off, her stomach was feeling better thanks to the peppermint tea, Sebastion was sleeping rather deeply, and Astrid was buried deep in some book. So, with a playful smile on her face she skips out of their house for an adventure. Lyra flits into the cafe and makes her way up to Borris. Her wings flutter excitedly, "Borris! Want to play?" Borris growled and let out a huff..."Last time you played it was hide and seek with my hat." Lyra's brows curl up as she looks at him in confusion. She flies up over him, a sprinkling of faerie dust falling over Borris's head, "Yes! That was fun!" She giggles as she tries to play with his broom. Lyra focuses on their skill of Wrestling, misses in performing a physical grapple on Borris. Borris dodges the little fae and her magic dust he then starts to attempt to sweep up the mess...."always making messes." he then smirks...as if he had lips...and said..."how about some ice cream." Lyra backs away leaving Borris' broom alone, her eyes going wide at the mention of ice cream, "Oh Yes!" She says enthusiastically, her wings fluttering rapidly at the thought. Borris would dissapear a moment and come back with a bowl that had two scoops of icecream he would place it on one of the tables and says.."keep your dust to yourself do enjoy" he figured that this was going to be fun to watch. Lyra flits around the bowl of ice cream excitedly, she dips a tiny finger into the bowl, then tastes the creamy, sugary, treat, "Thank you Borris!" Lyra looks at the full-human-sized spoon in the bowl of ice cream, it was probably about half her size, but she had seen the people them, it couldn't be that hard. She grips the spoon and attempts to scoop up the ice cream like a shovel. Lyra focuses on their skill of Wrestling, successfully performs a physical presence of 5% on the environment. Lyra looks at the spoonful of Ice Cream, there was much too much for one of her size of bites so she guides the spoon to the side of the bowl, trying to balance it so she can lean in and take a small bite of it. Lyra focuses on their skill of Wrestling, successfully performs a physical presence of 10% on the environment. Lyra manages to get the spoon balanced just right, but as she goes in for the bite, the spoon goes flying across to the other side of the table and she flips over landing bottom first on top of the ice cream. Borris would chuckle watching the little fae he debated and then pulled out a smaller spoon and floated over..."well you can just stay there and eat it now that you are wearing it or you might try this" placing a small spoon upon the table in amusement. Lyra works her way to the edge of the bowl and reaches for the small spoon on the table, of course, it was out of her short reach and she climbs out of the bowl, leaving little faerie ice cream foot prints as she steps to pick it up. This spoon much lighter she flits up and hovers over the ice cream spooning a more reasonably sized bite. Borris watches and got exactly what he expected...."I will do the clean up later...something tells me there is more to come." it would be difficult to tell who was getting more enjoyment of this him or her. Goudy appears in a cloud of smoke with a cigar tucked inside his mouth. He hurries over to Borris. "Can I get some fish and chips Borris?" the wide half toothless grin of the rather heavyset messenger and the smell of unwashed fish eating male. "You know how I enjoy it so..." Lyra tries to take the bite as gracefully as she can. She tried to act very much like a tiny lady, but the smoky messenger catches her eye. Her mouth covered in ice cream, she flits over to peek over the top of the chair at it, ice cream dripping onto the fabric. Borris: "Indeed I do Goudy...you here for more than just food?" he would pile it high as he liked it and placed it on the table..."no messes Goudy.." then sees the dripping fae..."drip in the bowl not on the furniture damnit." going to get a wet cloth grumbling.."more work always more work." Lyra scrunches her nose at Borris and moves back to the table. She looks at the ice cream with a wicked grin. And flits high into the air and divebombs into the bowl of ice cream. Goudy McFall processed to start eating him some fish and chips. He watches the little winged creature, then attempts to imitate her by placing his face in the plate of fish and chips and starting to gobble. "Yummmm Yummm Yumm Nom nom nom" Borris gave up at least while they were in the cafe his boney hand with a rag upon it covers his boney face and begins to shake his head..."never give fae sugar..never give fae sugar..." then dives into a cataloge to see if they make something for them to take it with them like ice cream. Goudy shakes his head back and forth, snorting and mostly inhaling his fish. Pieces of it fall on the floor and all over the table, He starts polishing the plate off, and then...starts to eat the plate with a well satisfied look on his face. He belches loudly in Lyra's direction attempting to make the little creature go topsie turvey. Borris watched dismayed..."you know those plates cost money yes? that we wash them to use them again? that they are NOT on the menu Goudy?!?!?!?!" Lyra happily begins spooning the ice cream in the bowl with her hands and slurping it down oblivious to anyone around her as she ate in her blissful sugar induced state.... until.. the THING burped. She flips backward then hovers spouting something that was obviously mean in Faerie. Lyra: ((other language)): see reti sens reti see airle reti ot ta Goudy reaches down his shirt, and starts attempting to throw scraps of fish at Lyra. He belches nastily again, and having the best day off ever, proceeds to try to hit the bull’s-eye. Vincent strode in a healthy way up the steps of the cafe, adjusted his grip on the ornate cane he carried and turned to survey the painting on the wall, emitting a quiet pleasured murmer from his lips which were partly dry, there was a burp behind him and he turned "Ohh.. bless you." he said as if it were a sneeze Lyra squeaks and tries to fly upwards to dodge the flying fishy bits. She chitters away then flits down to the bowl of ice cream, scoops up a handful of the ice cream and throws it at him. Lyra focuses on their skill of Wrestling, critically misses in performing a physical assist on themselves. Vincent squinted his reflective yellow eyes at the scene near the table, he stepped over to get a good look at the ice cream flinger Lyra Some of the fish hits her wing and sends her spinning, before falling right in front of the newcomer.

Private Diary of Miss Pearl Grey http://larps.net/lc/topic/private-diary-of-miss-pearl-grey#post-8220 Sun, 25 Dec 2011 23:21:45 +0000 PearlGrey Resident PearlGrey Resident 8220@http://larps.net/lc/ Christmas 1891 In the hush and stillness of this early morning I retrieved this journal from a hiding place behind a loose brick upstairs in the office building. Now that I have this cozy, relatively safe room above the Apothecary, I shall keep it in the secret compartment of the heavy Jacobean dresser. I feel I can now relax my vigilance enough to exhale and begin the writing of things I can tell no one. I took a moment of silence to run my hand over the smooth, creamy rose-colored cover in memory of the unknown woman for whom the journal was intended. A woman who no longer has affairs in this world to record. As I begin to write I wonder, if I were to meet my demise soon and when this little book would be discovered amongst my effects---would someone pause briefly in a moment of silence to remember a young life cut short? I think not, for most here are seemingly not like me. And if they are, they keep it carefully well hidden--not wearing their hearts upon their sleeves as I am likely to do. Physically I am alone today-- but as I sit near the brisk fire crackling away on the grate, sipping the fragrant tea-- I am comforted, wrapped in the third cloak of the human. Sometimes I am unaware of its presence, and in dire situations I am even lost from the wisdom of the second cloak, but today it is with me along with the gentle awareness of my ancestors. I can sense their admiration and encouragement at the way I am conducting myself on this journey. Repairing my dresses earlier-- the gown worn when recently plunged into the icy waters of the sea, the other with the tiny beak marks of the owl and yet another with spatters of blood-- I came into the awareness that the third cloak is my greatest treasure. So great that I am no longer in touch with the vanity that has recently been nipping and gnawing at me in regards to my strange wardrobe. These were not my gowns but they are mine now. Sometimes I've thought that the satchel packed with them, and so unceremoniously tossed from the ship at my feet, belonged to an actor or entertainer or a more sinister type of illusionist. But they can be as a sort of shield for me now, hiding who I am in the appearance of an insignificant, eccentric, silly girl. And so I take this diary and these gowns that were never really intended for me by any human will and I move forward on this path that I had never actually intended for myself and I use the three invisible cloaks, alone or in various combination, to inform and serve me. I must still remain vigilant but these moments of respite occur often enough that I can honestly say I love my life. 25 things Writers should start doing...from PenMonkey! http://larps.net/lc/topic/25-things-writers-should-start-doingfrom-penmonkey#post-8883 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:06:04 +0000 Vedis Seid Vedis Seid 8883@http://larps.net/lc/ <a href="http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2012/01/17/25-things-writers-should-start-doing/" rel="nofollow">http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2012/01/17/25-things-writers-should-start-doing/</a> In other words....WRITE BITCHES...if you call yourself a writer, you need to...ya'know...write.

London Gazette - The Mayoral Race http://larps.net/lc/topic/london-gazette-the-mayoral-race#post-8878 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 05:57:23 +0000 Modesty Bury Modesty Bury 8878@http://larps.net/lc/ To the Legacies Gazette. January 16, 1891 Dear Gazette and its readers, as you are all well aware we are in the midst of a mayoral election again. Lady Winter and myself thought to take a moment to open a discussion with you the readers and citizens of this City on the various campaign goals for this race. I am certainly not one to speak ill of others however some of the promises and statements from our erstwhile fellow candidates concern us and we believe concern you. We have the greatest respect for Dr. Tharnaby as a doctor within our great City. However, his views and campaign goals, while interesting, we view as somewhat misguided. We applaud his wanting to build a council with equal representation from all groups within the City. However, does the method in which he suggests going about it appear to either favour the more powerful groups in the City or support the very oligarchy he has stated he dislikes? Or alternatively, wouldn't representing every group within the City, including the disenfranchised, create a council so large and unwieldy that nothing would get done or decided? Eliminating the mayor and vice-mayor positions is also viewed with some disbelief as we've heard from those who have spoken to us on the subject. Our view, and that of other citizens', is that the mayor is more than just a figure-head, an administrator, but someone to keep the council in check and to see that the City is guided correctly. A shepherd or a servant to the City and its citizens. And that is certainly what Lady Winter and I intend should you grant us the opportunity. It also concerns us that this appears to be Dr. Tharnaby's only point on the platform. We have not been privy to all the talks he has given obviously but we would be curious as to his views on policy and the issues the City faces. We have to wonder too what importance Dr. Tharnaby places upon the critical events that occur within the City and with its citizens when the good Doctor does not even show up to the electoral pronouncement regarding his potential grace into the second round of campaigning? We are sure the Doctor was otherwise tied up helping to heal a poor soul in need at the time. Mr. Wardark, our second worthy opponent, would appear to be a very generous soul. His donation of his own personal funds to the hospital at the beginning of the campaign should be lauded as an incredible act of charity. However, as much as those funds will help the hospital over the short-term we have heard nothing from Mr. Wardark as to how he intends to fund the hospital over the longer term. Vague promises of making citizens pay taxes and citing an existing City law would seem to be the way of it. We would ask Mr. Wardark to provide his opinion on how he would collect taxes from the City's citizens. Would the Tax Man start knocking on doors? Or perhaps he would like to opine on what happens to those that cannot pay their taxes. Debtor's prison? We are sure neither of those are on Mr. Wardark's mind and he has a worthy plan. A financial plan most grand we would expect. Mr. Wardark seems to throw his own personal fortune about as if he prints the money himself. Again Mr. Wardark's generosity was shown at the fund-raiser the other night. A worthy cause certainly and again we applaud our esteemed co-candidate in helping those in need. But Mr. Wardark is so free with his own money one has to wonder how fiscally responsible he will be once he controls the City's funds? The monies of the very citizens he is serving. Perhaps he will truly hold those monies with the care and respect they deserve. Much the same respect Mr. Wardark had for the magistrate's announcement of who has passed the preliminary votes into the second round. Ah, but he wasn't there we're reminded. Perhaps he had other more pressing matters to attend, such as running his personal businesses. Lady Winter and I do have a plan. A plan for open and transparent government. Appropriate representation on City council. Communication with the citizenry and providing them with a voice. Regular townhalls open to all. A welcome centre for the newly landed. Fiscal responsibility for the coffers of this City. A vote for Miss Modesty and Lady Winter is a vote for your future.

Alcoholic, non-alcoholic, coffee, tea, soda, juice, energy drink... I think Dorian would be a peppermint hot chocolate. PS It would be so cool if we ended up making an whole series of these that just went on and on. This would be the fourth one. Songs for Legacies http://larps.net/lc/topic/songs-for-legacies#post-8305 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 14:46:30 +0000 BenBold Resident BenBold Resident 8305@http://larps.net/lc/ Those of you who are involved in fandom have probably come across filking - rewriting the words of a popular song to turn it into a song about your favourite SF show/character etc. A prime example would be Weird Al's version of Star Wars, The Saga Begins - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77Y4OPmBRAE" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77Y4OPmBRAE</a> So, here is the challenge - write a song about Legacies. It could be about the whole sim, the characters in it, the places, your favourite meal at the cafe, how to work the HUD or dice rolls even. Think of a well-known song, and twist the lyrics, rewrite them and turn it into your song about Legacies. Extra credit if you can do it to a period song :) Some ideas to kick you off - or at least give you a taste of how to proceed Take something like "House of the Rising Sun" and turn it into "There is a place in Lagacies, it's called Vamporium..." Or take "Bloody Mary" from "South Pacific" and turn it into "Madam Vedis is the girl I love..." Or, take "59th Street Bridge Song (Feeling Groovy)" and start off with "Slow down, you drink too fast, we've got to make the blood wine last..." For more period pieces, you could try things like Come Into the Garden, Maud (<a href="http://www.victorianweb.org/mt/parlorsongs/8.html)" rel="nofollow">http://www.victorianweb.org/mt/parlorsongs/8.html)</a>; On The Road to Mandalay; If It Wasn't For the 'Ouses In Between; My Old Dutch etc...

[11:02] Faith Diesel: this class is intended to give you an overview to how the larps works so you can get down on the gamefloor and rp [11:02] Faith Diesel: sticks her tongue out at CB [11:03] Faith Diesel: CB is a storyteller too with a loose bladder [11:03] Tatiana Spellhunter: ★* ℓøόσøℓ *★ [11:03] Stary DreamscapeStary Dreamscape laughs [11:03] Jaxa FiulJaxa Fiul chuckles. [11:03] Mathilda DellamorteMathilda Dellamorte giggles. [11:04] Faith Diesel: we aim for good quality rp in legacies [11:04] Faith Diesel: we call it fully immersive freeform rp - does everyone understand what that means? [11:05] Stary Dreamscape: I think so [11:05] Faith Diesel: no one want to have a go at explaining it [11:06] Faith Diesel: winks let me [11:06] Tatiana Spellhunter: nods [11:06] Faith Diesel: imersive means we do our damnedest to make the environment of legacies realistic so you can live your character [11:07] Faith Diesel: forget the outside world [11:07] Aerigo: Well great job so far, Im enjoying myself with it [11:08] Aerigo: kinda like walking around in a dark fairytale novel [11:08] Faith Diesel: and freeform means that as long as you stay plausible to the backstory of legacies and to the character you create your imagination is the limit to what you can rp [11:08] Stary Dreamscape: same here, I enjoyed last night auction at Alberts hall. [11:08] Faith Diesel: grins [11:08] Faith Diesel: does everyone know how to find information about the backstory? [11:09] Stary Dreamscape: on the website? [11:09] Faith Diesel: <a href="http://legacies1891.com/?page_id=2" rel="nofollow">http://legacies1891.com/?page_id=2</a> [11:09] Faith Diesel: thats the link [11:09] Faith Diesel: you can also find out icly by asking other characters [11:09] Faith Diesel: and by doing the journal quest [11:10] Faith Diesel: your character is entirely up to you to invent [11:10] Speyeder Farina: journal quest? [11:11] Faith Diesel: we have a series of quests you can do in legacies [11:11] Stary Dreamscape: yeah I saw that, was thinking about starting it [11:11] Faith Diesel: they are all on the wall in the room with the green crystal [11:11] Faith Diesel: just grab the notecard [11:11] Faith Diesel: okies characters [11:12] Speyeder Farina: AH wondered what that was, can we start it with any of them? [11:12] CB Coeyman: they are always a good way to explore the sim [11:12] Faith Diesel: just saying dont start as a super mage as your dice rolls wont match your chaaracter [11:12] Faith Diesel: yes Spey do any at any time [11:12] Faith Diesel: i tend to do quests when there isnt anyone to rp with on the sim [11:13] Stary Dreamscape: early mornings then, lol. [11:13] Faith Diesel: also dont forget all characters have weakness and vices as well as abilities and virtues [11:14] Aerigo: I been looking at the board out there seems to have a lot of things to do here [11:14] Faith Diesel: no all powerful characters please and please dont chose an actual character from a book, myth or real life [11:15] Faith Diesel: their history is set and our rp goes in random directions [11:15] Faith Diesel: any questions? [11:15] Aerigo: can anyone stop you from going to a place if it's in the open, [11:16] TheSineater: Well, ICly they could, I would suppose? [11:16] Aerigo: like tell you you don't belong there and wont let you get past them unless you fight, even if you tell them you are not armed and do not want to fight. [11:16] Faith Diesel: one of the things we will go through today - noone can affect your character without an attempt in rp and a dice rolls to see if it is successful [11:16] Faith Diesel: but they can sure try [11:17] Speyeder Farina: ok on dice, is "rolling a 1" still self disatserous? [11:17] Faith Diesel: they can rp anything they want - doesnt have to be fair or polite [11:17] Aerigo: if you do not want to fight them can you just go on about your business even if they roll against you? [11:17] Faith Diesel: let me show you an attempt [11:17] Aerigo: I am asking for a reason actually [11:17] CB Coeyman: ah here it comes [11:18] FateFate tries to take CB's hat [11:18] FateFate focuses on their practiced skill of Taming, gets a stellar success in performing a physical presence on CB. [11:18] CB Coeyman: you can RP out of anything if you think about it [11:18] LaRPS Sentinel: System Message: Faith Diesel (Fate) ((ROLL INFO on CB.. ROLLED 97 NEEDED 16+ )) [11:18] Faith Diesel: yay - stellar!!! [11:19] Ezekiel Cyrado: Ah, but the true test is RPing your way out of a paper bag. All RPers must pass this test in order to be declared competent. [11:19] Faith Diesel: i gets hat unless CB has plausible reason why not [11:19] Faith Diesel: CB has to rp the reaction - ie what happens [11:19] Speyeder Farina: he has to roll the counter though? [11:19] Faith Diesel: the resistance is built in [11:20] Speyeder Farina: That is interesting [11:20] Faith Diesel: so he gets his roll because i targeted him [11:20] CBCB tries to grab his hat back, the very one he peed in recently, but it appears Faith was too quick [11:20] Stary Dreamscape: lol [11:20] Faith Diesel: you must target if you want to do something to another character [11:21] Faith Diesel: you see CB has to honour the roll [11:21] Faith Diesel: lets step back a bit [11:21] Faith Diesel: does everyone know how to post your rp using the /2 commands [11:22] Stary DreamscapeStary Dreamscape thinks she is still learning them [11:22] Fate: "This is how to speak using /2 in front of what you are saying" [11:22] Speyeder Farina: it /2rp right? [11:22] TheSineater: Mmhmm! I went ahead and made a gesture for it, both speaking and emotes. [11:22] Miss Stary: "like this?" [11:22] CB Coeyman: Have a seat Ezekiel [11:23] FateFate looks round the room using /2m [11:23] Faith Diesel: just /2 for speech spey [11:23] Faith Diesel: and /2m for action [11:23] Speyeder Farina: ah ok [11:23] Faith Diesel: there are many more like shouting and whispering [11:23] Drayke FierDrayke Fier sings, because he totally can do that. [11:23] Oden: m sings, because he totally can do that. [11:23] Jaxa Fiul: Hmm [11:24] Faith Diesel: you can look them up in the quick guide in the players manual [11:24] Jaxa Fiul: I had on anotherthing, lol [11:24] Faith Diesel: <a href="http://larps.net/lc/forum/player-manual" rel="nofollow">http://larps.net/lc/forum/player-manual</a> [11:25] Faith Diesel: it is important because if you dont use /2 larps doesnt know are rping and your character wont improve [11:25] CB Coeyman: and no one recognizes the RP without it [11:25] Faith Diesel: as quality rp is our aim it is only right that verbosity is our most important stat which affects all others [11:26] Faith Diesel: winks at CB [11:26] Faith Diesel: this is a fundamental of the larps system - anyone unsure? [11:27] Faith Diesel: can i move on a bit? [11:27] Aerigo: I have not really done anything with the dice yet just walked around and explore so it looks like I have more to use when I explore. [11:28] Faith Diesel: we have one more step before i come on to the dice [11:28] Stary Dreamscape: yeah, I haven't used dice yet either, I am sure there will come a time when I look like a noob when I first use it, lol. [11:28] Jaxa Fiul: How do you target someone? AInt figured that out, lol. [11:28] Stary Dreamscape: think you just click on them Jaxa [11:29] Faith Diesel: one thing first then i will get onto how to dice roll [11:29] Faith Diesel: what should you put in an rp post? [11:29] Faith Diesel: i dont mean the actual words but the types of things [11:30] Speyeder Farina: reaction [11:30] Faith Diesel: let me explain [11:30] TheSineater: In.. any RP post? It's great if you can take the time to incorporate environment, character appearances, small nuances that your character may do at times.. [11:30] TheSineater: Color the scenery, so to speak. [11:30] Stary Dreamscape: actions, reactions, emotions [11:30] Faith Diesel: good sineater [11:31] Faith Diesel: you can have: speech, description and action [11:31] Faith Diesel: no emotions please stary [11:31] Stary Dreamscape: ok [11:32] Jaxa Fiul: What if you rp emotion through action? [11:32] Faith Diesel: thats like a think statement and no character can respond to whats in your characters head [11:32] CB Coeyman: no emotes or emotions? [11:32] Faith Diesel: think of yourself as an actor in a play talking to other actors [11:32] Aerigo: what about mind reading? [11:32] Aerigo: like the tv show scrubs [11:33] Faith Diesel: if you have that ability then you can discover for it [11:33] Faith Diesel: but posting think statement is what we call dead rp [11:33] TheSineater: Instead of, "Mathilda is sad," a more acceptable post might be more like, "Mathilda's expression darkens, eyes misting somewhat." In regards to emotions through RP emote? I'm sorry, it's still early, coffee, etc etc. [11:33] Faith Diesel: except for mind readers everyone else is getting ooc info that can be metagamed if used [11:34] Aerigo: ok [11:34] Faith Diesel: so speech everyone understands [11:35] Faith Diesel: description - this gives information everyone can use about your character or the scene [11:35] Faith Diesel: and can include all the senses [11:35] Aerigo: what about if someone speaks a different language can they do that here, like chinese or something [11:35] Faith Diesel: like sounds and smells [11:35] Faith Diesel: this is an english speaking sim [11:36] Faith Diesel: but the speech element can be any language you know [11:36] Faith Diesel: yes you can be chinese or russian [11:36] Aerigo: but you have to speak it in english? [11:37] FateFate speaks in french to the lady next to her "Bonjour Madame" [11:38] Aerigo: ok thank you [11:38] Faith Diesel: well thats not plausible for fate - my character cos she doesnt speak french [11:38] Faith Diesel: but she does speak fae [11:38] Fate: ((other language)): reti ot see omta [11:38] Fate: This is the fae language [11:39] Faith Diesel: each race can speak in its own language using /22 [11:39] Faith Diesel: and all other faes can read what I said [11:39] Drayke Fier: ((other language)): ter ot ter airle sens [11:39] LaRPS HUD: ((Help Request from TriJin Bade Reyvi Resident Requires an invite to OOC observer group.)) [11:40] Faith Diesel: humans of course speak common which is english [11:40] Faith Diesel: but i showed you how you could speak other languages like french [11:40] Aerigo: so no way to keep others from understanding the humans? unless maybe the other rp not understanding that language? [11:41] Faith Diesel: just remember you need the translation to give the other french [11:41] Faith Diesel: its london -almost everyone in london will speak english [11:41] Faith Diesel: or at least a little [11:42] Faith Diesel: its plausible if you think about it [11:42] Aerigo: umm have you looked around in that city, not to menthion here not everyone is human [11:42] Aerigo: or my pipe is full of hookah [11:42] Faith Diesel: if you are not human you have your race language [11:42] Faith Diesel: okies - back to how to use larps to post [11:43] Faith Diesel: we have talked about speech and description [11:43] Faith Diesel: you can also use /9title <description> to add things that other characters in a scene would notice about you [11:44] Stary Dreamscape: like perfume smell [11:44] Faith Diesel: smells, fleas [11:44] Faith Diesel: if you are in disguise is useful [11:45] Faith Diesel: so people know you cannot be recognised [11:45] Faith Diesel: then the last thing in your post [11:45] Faith Diesel: action [11:46] Faith Diesel: you can have one or two actions in a post but only one SIGNIFICANT action [11:46] Faith Diesel: it has to be plausible for your character [11:46] Faith Diesel: so i can pull on my boots and walk out the door in one post normally [11:47] Faith Diesel: they are not significant normally as far as larps is concerned [11:47] Faith Diesel: the normally is important [11:48] Faith Diesel: a significant action as far as larps is concerned is one with a significant risk of failure [11:48] Faith Diesel: so if you put your boots on every day you are unlikely to fail at it [11:49] Faith Diesel: its not significant and you dont have to roll for it [11:49] Jaxa Fiul: You can fail at walking out of the door! I've done it. [11:49] Stary Dreamscape: unless you get a swollen foot, lol [11:49] Jaxa Fiul: I've walked into my door a few times. :X [11:49] Faith Diesel: laughs - if YOU think you are going to fail going out the dooor [11:49] Faith Diesel: then it becomes significant and you must attempt it and roll for it [11:49] TheSineater: Epic hangover! Do you succeed in getting up without head injury? *rolls for it and fails* Back to bed. :< [11:50] Faith Diesel: but that would be your choice [11:50] Aerigo: so you can roll for pretty much everything [11:50] Faith Diesel: the only actions you must roll for are those against other players [11:50] Aerigo: ? [11:51] Aerigo: but can you roll if you want to see if you can sit in a seat? or make the piano work that your trying to play? [11:51] Faith Diesel: no you roll for what you think your character is likely to fail at [11:51] Faith Diesel: and when your action is against another player [11:51] Faith Diesel: you do not know how another character will react [11:52] Faith Diesel: and it would be godmodding to decide for them [11:52] LaRPS HUD: ((Help Request from Blaisphemy Resident rented Vamporium Keep House, need add to group and Doors set, items returned)) [11:52] Faith Diesel: for instance of i try to chop off CBs finger [11:53] Faith Diesel: he is made of flesh lets say [11:53] Faith Diesel: it could be chopped off [11:53] CBCB glares [11:53] Aerigo: what about rolling to put new tobacco in my pipe, I may not fail at it but could I roll for it anyway? or would that not be a good idea? [11:53] Faith Diesel: but say the character i try to bit a finger off of is a mecha [11:53] Faith Diesel: i might break my teeth [11:54] Faith Diesel: and i probably wont know that [11:55] Faith Diesel: you might not want to roll for your pipe every time [11:55] Faith Diesel: but if it fits your rp then you might now and again Aerigo [11:55] Aerigo: ok cause so far I kinda keep to myself [11:56] Faith Diesel: i took a long time to do my first rp [11:56] Faith Diesel: giggles [11:56] Aerigo: I'm just enjoying exploring and seeing all the ummm errr strange things [11:56] Jaxa Fiul: I technically still haven't done my first one here [11:56] Faith Diesel: i was nervous - i hope this class will make you less nervous [11:56] Speyeder Farina: I came in yesterday and hafter the rgill I stared at the crystal wondering what to do LOL [11:56] Aerigo: sorry im talking to much I will zip it [11:57] Faith Diesel: the crystal starts you on your journey [11:57] Faith Diesel: lets get the structure of a turn straight [11:57] Speyeder FarinaSpeyeder Farina nods "I almost clicked it then rememebred, No backstory and got scared [11:57] Speyeder FarinaSpeyeder Farina nods [11:57] Faith Diesel: an rp post ALWAYS come first [11:57] Stary Dreamscape: I loaded my Hud and went straight down, maybe I was too quick, but I like jumping in at the deep end, lol. [11:58] Aerigo: I have amnesia [11:58] Aerigo: so to give me time to create on lol [11:58] Faith Diesel: post - target - diceroll - outcome - post (one turn) [11:59] Faith Diesel: you only need to target if you are affecting something with an active meter [11:59] Faith Diesel: if you have a significant action - you must post it as an attempt [12:00] Faith Diesel: [11:18] FateFate tries to take CB's hat [12:00] Faith Diesel: i didnt take it - i tried to take it [12:01] Faith Diesel: to target - just left click on the person you want to target [12:01] Faith Diesel: it is easier if the person is standing up [12:01] Faith Diesel: want to try [12:01] Faith Diesel: if you click on me you should see fates name in orange on the hud [12:02] Faith Diesel: under the word target [12:02] Jaxa Fiul: Aha, it worked. [12:02] Faith Diesel: yay [12:02] Faith Diesel: everyone managed to target? [12:02] Speyeder Farina: yup [12:02] Stary Dreamscape: yup, I have your name there [12:03] Faith Diesel: great [12:03] Faith Diesel: you can also use /9tar fate [12:03] Faith Diesel: for those who are difficult to target manually [12:04] Faith Diesel: now you are all ready to do a dice roll affecting fate [12:04] Faith Diesel: click the blue gem on the hud [12:05] Faith Diesel: forget the dice rolls starting with d [12:05] Faith Diesel: can everyone see target self & environment? [12:05] Stary Dreamscape: yup [12:05] Faith Diesel: at the top of the dropdown [12:06] LaRPS HUD v0.25.4 :: 15 AUG 2011: ((Speyeder Farina is attaching a new HUD)) [12:06] Faith Diesel: target - affects the active meter you target [12:06] Faith Diesel: self - affects you [12:06] Aerigo: yes I see it some [12:06] Faith Diesel: and environment affects all objects you cannot target [12:07] Faith Diesel: if you are going to affect me - press target button [12:07] Faith Diesel: and you get another set of choices [12:07] Jaxa Fiul: Mmmhmm [12:08] Faith Diesel: physical mental & magical [12:08] Faith Diesel: this is how you are trying to affect something or someone [12:08] Faith Diesel: you can do someone physically - like taking a hat [12:09] Faith Diesel: you can do it mentally - like i can try to convince you your hat isnt there [12:10] Faith Diesel: using your mind to do something [12:10] Faith Diesel: or you can do something magically [12:10] Faith Diesel: fate does a lot magically [12:10] Faith Diesel: lets pretend i am wearing CBs hat [12:11] Faith Diesel: and you want to snatch it [12:11] Faith Diesel: so physical [12:11] Faith Diesel: when you click physical you have 6 last choices [12:11] Faith Diesel: and these are about what you trying to do [12:12] Faith Diesel: grapple is about restraining or holding something or someone [12:12] Faith Diesel: everyone following? [12:12] Stary Dreamscape: yups [12:12] Jaxa Fiul: I am! [12:12] Faith Diesel: tell me if im going too fast [12:12] Aerigo: yes [12:12] Tatiana Spellhunter: yes [12:13] Aerigo: not going to fast am following [12:13] Faith Diesel: influence is about affecting anothers mind [12:13] Faith Diesel: i could have magically tried to convince CB his hat was missing [12:13] Faith Diesel: so target-magical-influence [12:14] Faith Diesel: i was trying to remove the hat physically so i chose presence [12:14] Faith Diesel: which is about moving or manupulating something or someone [12:14] Faith Diesel: it does not include harm [12:15] Faith Diesel: if harm is involved - you must use harm [12:15] Stary Dreamscape: like as in knock to the ground to take the hat? [12:16] Faith Diesel: any movement of the hat [12:16] Jaxa Fiul: That might be a grapple, if you're pinning Fate. [12:16] Faith Diesel: yes if you restrain then grapple [12:16] Faith Diesel: mostly talking about restraining a person [12:16] Faith Diesel: but yes - you chose to suit your rp [12:16] Faith Diesel: choose* [12:17] Faith Diesel: and discovery is about investigation or interrogation for example [12:18] Faith Diesel: but dont forget you can just ask. discovery against a person is usually where they dont want to tell you something [12:18] Faith Diesel: and you can use discovery with an ST present to do a postmortem on a body for example [12:19] Faith Diesel: now if you would like to click presence to take CBs hat from fate you will see what happens [12:19] Drayke FierDrayke Fier successfully performs a physical presence on Fate. [12:20] Faith Diesel: so drayke took the hat [12:20] Miss StaryMiss Stary successfully performs a physical presence on Fate. [12:20] Drayke FierDrayke Fier cheers for himself! [12:20] Faith Diesel: or at least flipped it off my head [12:20] SpeyederSpeyeder misses in performing a physical presence on Fate. [12:20] Faith Diesel: stary did too [12:20] Speyeder Farina: Swing and a miss [12:20] Faith Diesel: but spey failed [12:21] Speyeder Farina: I need my spider lgs >.> [12:21] Faith Diesel: and as you did it to fate - i get to post what happened [12:21] Faith Diesel: any last questions [12:21] AerigoAerigo looks at the crouching man using his can moving it in a motion in an attempt to knock the hat off the man. [12:21] AerigoAerigo misses in performing a physical presence on CB. [12:22] Faith Diesel: the only time the target doesnt do the reaction is a critical miss [12:22] Aerigo: so I would not respond to that because I missed? [12:22] Faith Diesel: because then its a backfire and happens to the person doing the action [12:23] Faith Diesel: no that was a normal miss [12:23] Speyeder Farina: LOL oh so you still can totally mess up [12:23] Aerigo: so I would wait on him to respond? [12:23] Faith Diesel: CB would do the reaction to a normal miss [12:23] Faith Diesel: he probably did a little sidestep [12:24] CBCB watches the cane fly past his head [12:24] Faith Diesel: giggles [12:24] Aerigo: and if I did not fail? [12:24] Faith Diesel: yes Aerigo - you need to know what happened before you proceed with your rp [12:24] Jaxa Fiul: We will never know. [12:25] Aerigo: ok makes sense now [12:25] Faith Diesel: if you succeeded - CB would rp about what happened to the hat [12:25] Faith Diesel: but he must honour your attempt and the outcome [12:25] Aerigo: ok that brings me back to a question [12:26] Faith Diesel: yes [12:26] Faith Diesel: fire away [12:26] Aerigo: if someone tries to keep you from moving past them, and wants to fight you but you do not want to fight them and it's a public area what would be the best thing to do? [12:26] Fate: ((Faith Diesel is in StoryTeller mode.)) [12:27] Faith Diesel: noone can be aggressive toward you unless they meet the challenge rule [12:27] Aerigo: and you told them you want to go see the area but are unarmed and do not care to fight [12:27] Faith Diesel: you can rp that [12:28] Faith Diesel: if you rp with them - they have met the challenge rule and may agress [12:28] Aerigo: and if they meet the challange rule even if you tell them you are unarmed and do not want to fight and start to walk past them. [12:28] Faith Diesel: they can attempt to prevent you yes [12:29] Faith Diesel: but they must rp the attempt and roll for it [12:29] Aerigo: I had someone try to force me into a fight and I did not want too fight [12:29] Faith Diesel: then rp out of the scene [12:29] Aerigo: I do not know enough about it to fight, and was just trying to go to the graveyard to look for quest stuff [12:30] Faith Diesel: noone can make you fight - fights take time and sometimes rl means we dont have time [12:30] Faith Diesel: but if you have an active meter - you are part of the game [12:31] Faith Diesel: if you just want to observe - dont put your meter on [12:31] Aerigo: but this player was not going to let me get past them, but I do not see how they can keep you from going to a place if you do not want to, I did not want to seem like an ass but I was a little confused I told him I did not want to fight but he told me I had to leave or fight to get past [12:31] Faith Diesel: if you dont have an active meter - you are not part of the game [12:31] Aerigo: no I was just role playing exploring trying to understand where I was [12:32] Aerigo: Im not a fighter, and do not really care to be [12:32] Faith Diesel: then i suggest rping out [12:33] Faith Diesel: but it would not be fair to him if his character is there to bar the way and you want to avoid that rp [12:33] Faith Diesel: it would mean your character was getting past him oocly [12:33] Aerigo: right I understand that part which is what I tried to do by telling him I was unarmed and did not want to fight so I was told I could only continue my way if I made it past him [12:34] Faith Diesel: that is his right to rp that [12:34] Faith Diesel: your character needs to find a way round him [12:34] Aerigo: humm, well Im not going to fight him [12:34] Faith Diesel: maybe you find another root [12:34] Faith Diesel: or fine a magical way to sneak past [12:35] Aerigo: but my character does not do magic [12:35] Faith Diesel: or sweet talk him into letting you past [12:35] Aerigo: there was no sweet talking him [12:35] Faith Diesel: does not have to be a fight [12:35] Aerigo: he was not a happy man [12:35] Faith Diesel: and if someone wants to fight you - call an ST [12:35] Faith Diesel: its one of our rules [12:35] Aerigo: but how do you keep from fighting and honor his rp if you dont respond if he rolls to swing at you, [12:36] Faith Diesel: <a href="http://legacies1891.com/?page_id=181" rel="nofollow">http://legacies1891.com/?page_id=181</a> [12:36] Faith Diesel: he cant swing at you if he hasnt met the challenge rule [12:36] Aerigo: ok well if it happens again I will do that, because I made no aggression toward him. [12:37] Aerigo: sorry I was just a little confused [12:37] Faith Diesel: characters can be aggressive without provocation [12:37] Faith Diesel: think about real life [12:37] Faith Diesel: it happens [12:37] Aerigo: so can I do what I would do and just keep walking [12:37] Aerigo: like walking past him and do what I want, it was not a home [12:38] Faith Diesel: no if you are active and you continue rping you must honour the rp [12:38] Faith Diesel: but it does not mean it automatically becomes a fight [12:38] Faith Diesel: you might roll to see if you can run past him [12:38] Faith Diesel: he may be too slow to catch you [12:39] Aerigo: humm, well thats good because I don't like to fight and I am still learning the dice so not sure I would know what I was doing, anyway Im sorry I have talked to much [12:39] Faith Diesel: you need to respect his rp and he needs to respect yours and STs are here to help by refereeing [12:40] Faith Diesel: no its a good point [12:40] Faith Diesel: this is not a combat meter [12:40] Faith Diesel: we are not a combat sim [12:40] Faith Diesel: being sneaky is as valid as a brawl [12:40] Faith Diesel: its all in the rp [12:41] Faith Diesel: let me give out xp [12:41] Fate: ((Drayke Fier is given 1000 experience points.))

[12:45] Faith Diesel: thank you all for coming to class [12:45] Speyeder FarinaSpeyeder Farina nods "I like these classes [12:45] Faith Diesel: that was a good sess [12:45] Aerigo: thank you sorry if I talked too much [12:45] Tatiana Spellhunter: Faith I have a question a bit off topic [12:45] Faith Diesel: grins - you are getting a merit for talking [12:45] Faith Diesel: we like you involved [12:46] Faith Diesel: take me a little time to sort the merits [12:46] Aerigo: thank you, now I need to go find the tobacco store [12:46] Faith Diesel: laughs Bloodlust and Betrayal - The Journal of Vedis Seid http://larps.net/lc/topic/bloodlust-and-betrayal-the-journal-of-vedis-seid#post-4496 Sun, 19 Jun 2011 14:08:22 +0000 Vedis Seid Vedis Seid 4496@http://larps.net/lc/ <img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5075/5848924372_c77e669d32.jpg" /> <a href="http://bloodlustandbetrayal.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">http://bloodlustandbetrayal.wordpress.com/</a> You have stumbled across the (in character) diary of a demoness currently living in Legacies 1891. A thick tomb bound by strange soft leather. The cover is warm to the touch and seems to shift under your fingers. It is full of pages written in deep crimson ink. The first pages are so faded as to hardly be recognizable. Written in a strange combination of languages, it is mostly written in Demonic script, the letters shifting on the page as if alive. Names found within are difficult to read, unable to be looked at directly as if a spell is keeping you from seeing them fully. Some entries are written in clean short script, information that shouldn’t be known and yet somehow is recorded in the pages of this manuscript. Other entries are written in a flowing script, seemingly by the demoness herself. There are bits of loose pages stuck in the journal here and there, notes crammed into the pages to be kept. This is a living document…in more ways than one. 2012Jan14: ST Grill http://larps.net/lc/topic/2012jan14-st-grill#post-8816 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:15:12 +0000 Faith Diesel Faith Diesel 8816@http://larps.net/lc/ TRANSCRIPT OF ST GRILL (The STs answered in voice so Faith has added a summary of the answers so this transcript makes more sense.) [14:11] Faith Diesel: you dont have to voice but feel free to listen [14:11] Lord Nic LuvLord Nic Luv attempts slapthem but misses The Tinker [14:11] Faith Diesel: and ask quesitons in here [14:11] Lord Nic Luv: ((Nicolie Luv is in StoryTeller mode.)) [14:12] SaerrnSaerrn slaps The Tinker. [14:12] Saerrn: ((Jitterbug Haggwood is in StoryTeller mode.)) [We do the grills in voice so that you have a chance to see that we, the STs, are real people, players just like the rest of the community who volunteer their time to help with the day-to-day management of the sim & to help you all have as immersive & enjoyable rp as possible. [14:12] Usagi Vyper: wait wait wait. your real peoples... Ok time to stop drinking. [14:12] Usagi Vyper: so long as the majority agree i have no problems [14:13] Usagi Vyper: not yet, but i want to say thank you [14:13] Snyper Chesnokov: Anybody want to ask a question to get this grill started? [14:13] Faith Diesel: you can ask anything in here [14:13] Faith Diesel: you can also voice concerns [14:13] Usagi Vyper: familair rocks !! woo hoo !! finnaly !!! [TriJin added the Familiar race recently - Usagi's request] [14:13] Faith Diesel: and make suggestions [14:14] Aisin: Is Legacies meant to be what was the East End of London, 1891? [Legacies represents the whole of London but due to the constraints of sl, we only have selected parts of London represented on the sims.] [14:14] Winter Illios: ok i'll go [14:14] Winter Illios: i'd like to see sidhe given either into elf or fae, and have it put into the race description for which one it belongs to. [Sidhe (pronounced Shee) is one mythology related to fae & elves. You as characters can use any mythology you like. (There are at least 5 main fae mythologies - none is wrong, just different. Its up to you and your imagination what you choose. All we ask is that you respect other peoples choices. It is worth thinking of ways to allow your character to co-exist with other interpretations. You can add Sidhe to the "custom race hybrid" field on your character sheet.] [14:15] Aisin: Shee. [14:15] Speyeder Farina: Oh so I could put Drider in Hybrid if I decide to go that way eventually? [14:15] Winter Illios: it shee [14:15] Speyeder Farina: not keen on arachnid LOL [14:15] Winter Illios: not sid-hey [14:15] Winter Illios: lol [14:16] Winter Illios: just sheee [14:16] Winter Illios: gaelic is odd [14:16] Speyeder Farina: oh ok this is ooc this works [Yes Spey, the Hub is ooc.] [14:16] Winter Illios: i feel for you [14:16] Winter Illios: but stay away from my cattle [14:17] Aisin: damn. [14:17] Speyeder Farina: Cattle? [14:18] Aisin: Sidhe have a legendary taste for milk and butter. [14:18] Winter Illios: lol little fae maybe [14:18] Usagi Vyper: yes [14:19] Winter Illios: respect the rp [14:19] Winter Illios: i look at it like there are so many layers, like an onion, and what may be true for one layer is different on another [14:19] TornTooth: So, no Hollywood Vamps then? [You can play any mythology you like, including Hollywood Vamps. We hope we can persuade you away from the sparkly kind of Vamp as they seem very implausible to us but its your rp - be sparkly if you must. The stumbling block is affect of sunlight. Sunlight should affect vampires. Most of Legacies is dark so there are many places for a vampire to go. But there are a few places with daylight.] [14:19] Speyeder Farina: ok call me daft but I just noticed squares over my name? [14:19] TornTooth: Christopher Lee [14:20] Winter Illios: lol. spey's first day [14:20] Usagi Vyper: if you sparkle i KEEL you [14:20] Speyeder Farina: Dracula [14:20] TornTooth: Personally, I write about Lycan species. [14:20] Speyeder Farina: Speye's first hour O.o [14:21] TornTooth: I know little about vamps.... Only the long tooths [14:21] BenBold: Spey - that's your meter [14:21] Usagi Vyper: oh sure you can. just your gonna come back all black, and chrispy. [14:21] Aisin: actually, to be a pain in the arse, according to the book (Dracula) The man himself was out in the afternoon, in London, and seen by the Harkers. [14:21] Winter Illios: yes, he was just weaker aisin, without all of the power he'd have at night [14:21] Speyeder Farina: Well I think weather can affect that, if it is dark and cludy during the day [14:21] Speyeder Farina: cloudy [14:22] Aisin: agreed, just responding to the black and crispy bit. [14:22] Winter Illios: lol well since the sun only shines on torn oak... [14:22] Speyeder Farina: ok would an Hellsing, Alucard-ish vampire work? [14:23] Speyeder Farina: he is like a super vamp [14:23] Winter Illios: faith is special that way and we love her wings. lol [14:23] Speyeder Farina: LOL well yeah :) I ment the mystically enhance vamp deal [14:24] Speyeder Farina: and now I wnat to watch Hellsing >.< [14:24] TornTooth: Hellsing cartoon were quite entertaining. But that was based ona very modern theme. I dont se Alucard fitting in with the Victorian times. [14:24] Speyeder Farina: Like a psychic vampire [14:24] TornTooth: .... his guns were cool tho [14:24] Speyeder Farina: I have them, and the Harkonnen [14:25] TornTooth: I'm working on a Jek/Hyde with a lycan twist [14:25] Winter Illios: lol. what's a nuke? *grins* [14:26] Usagi Vyper: or just be weird like me. totally not a vampyre bunneh [14:26] Aisin: <--immune to mustard. [14:26] Speyeder Farina: LOL that is why the Hellsing question, his skills in that made him rather god mode ish [14:26] TornTooth: :P [14:26] Faith Diesel: any other questions? [14:26] Winter Illios: we just love hearing you talk [14:26] Jitterbug Haggwood: plausibility rules the day in your character choice... [Remember that no character can be all powerful. It will have weaknesses and vices as well as abilities and virtues. Also all characters start with very basic stats and it 'LEARNS' over time. The character will not start with Mage powers or amazing strength, so you need to think of a plausible reason for that and allow your character to learn and grow over time. Also you cannot be legendary at every skill. Choose 3 or 4 that most suit your character and concentrate on those.] [14:27] Leigh Huet: can everyone hear us? [14:27] Speyeder Farina: OK Can I just do this all the time XD I haven't had this much fun just chatting about RP in years [14:27] Usagi Vyper: we heard last time that there was a new skills list, and character creation process.. how is that coming ? [14:27] Faith Diesel: what we are saying is that your character is yours [14:27] Speyeder Farina: I keep forgetting about that laugh >.< [14:27] Usagi Vyper: sort of a buy it by points process ? [14:28] TornTooth: So you get 100%, but you have to do stuff that gets distributed? [14:28] Usagi Vyper: x points to start, and you have caps for starting [14:28] Faith Diesel: your character needs to chose a few skills to be good at [14:28] Faith Diesel: not all of them [14:28] Usagi Vyper: sure you can, it just takes FOREVER. [14:28] Usagi Vyper: the bunneh still can't cook [14:29] Winter Illios: not sure what he's been doing, but i'm sure he's bending over his pages [14:29] Speyeder Farina: If you have sharp claws you don't need a knife [14:29] Speyeder Farina: Skinning? [14:30] Faith Diesel: fate is never going to be good at ironing [14:30] Usagi Vyper: if you eat the meat it might be taking that into account [14:30] Jitterbug Haggwood: <~~has hired help for the ironing [14:30] Faith Diesel: doesnt think its important as she has a little magic for that [14:30] Usagi Vyper: da bunnhe is an ok domestic servant ! [14:31] TornTooth: I hate ironing. That's why I just lay my cloths under my matress before I go to bed. [14:31] Winter Illios: <- has brownies for domesticity [14:31] Usagi Vyper: but i am not insured if i toast your laundry.. dang machines ! [14:31] Aisin: How do you start a business in the sim? [How would you start a business in real life? Just rp finding out what to do and then setting up the business. You do need a business licence to run a business legally otherwise you might get into trouble icly.] [Tinker revealed that he didnt have a business licence (remember this is IC information given OOCly so it would be metagaming to use IC information gained here on the gamefloor.] [14:31] Winter Illios: bad tinker [14:32] Jitterbug Haggwood: slaps tinker around again [14:32] TornTooth: Where do we get licenses? [14:32] Aisin: *trying to think of legit ways to earn coins.* [14:32] Usagi Vyper: nope he's gonna get fined and pay all kinda taxes ! [14:32] Winter Illios: vedis is [14:32] Winter Illios: or was [14:33] TornToothTornTooth thumbs up [14:33] Helene Cadienne: ouch, does that mean i have to get a new one since Tam's character isn't coming back? [14:33] Helene Cadienne: i never had one [14:33] TornTooth: Ah, does the license cover the person or the property or the business itself? [14:33] Helene Cadienne: she had the license [14:34] TornTooth: Ok, like a real world "Inc." [Vedis used to give out the licences but the storyline has moved on and you need to find out on the game floor. The licence belongs to the character not the place where it resides due to that fact that the buildings are OOC rented.] [14:34] Jitterbug Haggwood: the business travels with you [14:34] TornTooth: I saw the clothing shop. Awesome. [14:34] TornTooth: Great for me cos I'm skint. [14:35] TornTooth: How about vehicles. Can we use Hanson cabs of our own, horses etc [14:36] TornTooth: Appreciated. [14:36] Faith Diesel: part of the Legacies Ethos is that anyone can play in legacies - you dont need lindens to do so [There are plenty of properties to run your business out of that are not part of the ooc rentals. Spitalfields market has many stalls. You could become a costermonger and sell your wares on a daily basis. You may rez 32prims free of charge for the duration of a scene but you must pick them up afterwards. If you want to keep them in play after you log or move on to a new scene then you must pay lindens for a rental in that sim.] [14:36] Winter Illios: lol the legacies horses are cool, but they buckyou off a lot [14:37] TornTooth: Mine has a temper... I guess cos I don't feed it. [14:37] Faith Diesel: you start as a novice horserider [14:37] Faith Diesel: who will be thrown off [14:37] Usagi Vyper: evil. . . [14:38] TornTooth: How about Steam Driven cabs or mechanical vehicles. Are they allowed? [14:38] Faith Diesel: the more you ride the better you will get at riding [14:38] TornTooth: ... as long as it's picked up after :P [14:38] TornTooth: :) [14:39] Faith Diesel: you may have 32prims to rp with for free but please pick up after you finish your sceen [14:39] Usagi Vyper: wax cylinders were the first use. [14:39] Speyeder Farina: they were more for education or lecture use I believe [We talked about the use of record players in 1891. You cannot wear clothes or use props not available till after 1891. Google is your friend. If you want to know if something was around in 1891 - google it.] [14:39] Jitterbug Haggwood: for snyper: <a href="http://www.google.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com</a> [14:40] BenBold: The phonograph record player, or gramophone (from the Greek: γράμμα, gramma, "letter" and φωνή, phōnē, "voice"), is a device introduced in 1877 t [14:40] Aisin: But at that time it was wax cylinders, not flat records. [14:41] Faith Diesel: Does anyone have questions or suggestions about the running of legacies [14:41] Nicolie Luv: <a href="http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bledisondiscphpgraph.htm" rel="nofollow">http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bledisondiscphpgraph.htm</a> [14:41] TornTooth: That would be fun to see a hiphop DJ trying to "scratch" a wax cylinder [14:41] Winter Illios: i'm good faith [14:42] TornTooth: I noticed there's a dark city in the clouds that isn't victorian... Is that part of Legacies RP too? [Everything on the ground level is part of the gamefloor and some of the skyboxes as well. You are correct, Torn, that there are buildings of a strange architecture not in keeping with Victorian construction. You need to find out why ICly.] [14:43] TornTooth: cool. just wanted to know if it was IC [14:43] Aisin: How do we or..rather, can we suggest story ideas for simwide rp? [14:43] Faith Diesel: Everything on the game floor is ic [14:44] Faith Diesel: and Jitter is right there are some ic areas at higher levels [14:44] Helene Cadienne: ah, the speed of the gossip mill! [14:44] Faith Diesel: Simwide rps - let us know and we can help [14:44] TornTooth: Oh God No.... SIMWIDE VIRUS RP.... like EVERY other RP sim keeps doing. They are soooo boring [14:45] Faith Diesel: we try not to have simwide virus [14:45] Speyeder Farina: They can be fun once every couple years [14:45] Faith Diesel: we usually make simwide rps optional [14:45] Faith Diesel: you choose to join in or not [14:46] Faith Diesel: Leigh is reminding us that we have a community group thinking up quests and simwide rps [14:47] Aisin: It's just that there was a writing guild and I thought that was what it was for. [14:47] Faith Diesel: get with Keighvin Silvansky to get involved [Anyone in the community can join the Quest builders group.] [14:47] Faith Diesel: writing guild is ooc and in the forum for those who like writing [14:47] TornTooth: I like the Guild... for writers, that's a boon. Like a busman's holiday [14:48] Jitterbug Haggwood: yup...just join in with us right on the forum...exercises are posted and updated occasionally to keep us on our toes [14:48] Jitterbug Haggwood: as well as writer's resources [14:48] Faith Diesel: rp is quite different to writing and we like to promote both [14:48] Winter Illios: im usually only able to get classes on weekends. my work hours are brutal, though my days will be changing so weekends are going to suck too now. but the classes i've attended have been well done [14:49] Faith Diesel: Guest lectures: any resident can give a guest lecture [14:49] Faith Diesel: just ask me or Leigh to set it up [14:49] Winter Illios: i'll think about it. i'm waiting on tenter hooks to find out if modesty makes it past this round of voting. [14:50] Faith Diesel: Just asking if there are any rental questiosn [14:50] Winter Illios: yes. unfortunately i wont be on, its table top gaming day [14:50] TornTooth: Is there aPrime Minister role in Legacies London? [14:51] Winter Illios: lol. just answered my question leigh [14:51] Faith Diesel: you probably need to ask about the government/s icly and/or check the forum [14:51] Faith Diesel: grins [14:51] TornTooth: Well, the Prime Minister being human, I guess he ran with the Queen and government out of London [14:52] Faith Diesel: winks at Torn [14:52] Jitterbug Haggwood: well...or got eaten? [14:52] Faith Diesel: laughs [14:52] TornTooth: "PM Pies" [14:52] BenBold: somebody mistook him for prime rib [14:52] Speyeder Farina: or many depending on his size [14:53] Winter Illios: roflmao. we do have a meat pie shop on the floor if i remember right. who knows... [14:53] Faith Diesel: we have parliament sauce - why not pie [14:53] Winter Illios: well if ben's around, it probably has rum [14:53] TornTooth: Yo ho ho [14:54] BenBold: oh, there is definitely rum in the sauce [14:54] BenBold: in two different ways... [14:55] Speyeder Farina: seen both [14:55] Aisin: <--wants Wow-Wow sauce [14:55] Speyeder Farina: very good [If you want to get a feel for 1891 Victorian London, you could watch Sweeney Todd, Sherlock Holmes, Any Dickins and many more. There are some links in the forum to various examples or accent and dress.] [14:55] Winter Illios: i love sweeny todd [14:55] TornTooth: "from Hell" is a great movie to watch [14:55] Speyeder Farina: league of extraordanairy gentleman? [14:55] Aisin: It's the 200th anniversary of Dickens btw, so bbc-4-extra is running Dickens radio plays. [14:56] TornTooth: [Cockney] Hello [14:56] Helene Cadienne: i avoid typing my accent, it would be too annoying to read [14:57] Usagi Vyper: break out ? [14:57] TornTooth: What do we do if we have an OOC problem? Who do we contact? [14:57] Jitterbug Haggwood: <~~avoids jail [14:57] Speyeder Farina: Walk in [14:58] TornTooth: What is the process? [Please call an ST using /9ST in local as soon as you get what we call an OOC problem. (Dont forget to type what the problem is - it helps us find the best experienced person to deal with your issue.) We are here to help and the sooner we get called into help the easier it is to fix. We don't care what you rp as long as it is plausible and fair to other players. Our big rule is that you must respect the other players in the community. You dont have to love everyone but you do have to show them respect. 1. For a breach of Legacies rules (which you should all have a copy of) no less than 3 moderators will mediate. 2. STs involved in the incident cannot take part in that mediation. 3. No one gets banned for a first offence except griefers. (We would much rather you learnt from what happened and no more issues arise.] 4. You might just a get a tap. Thats just a heads up. 5. Official warnings are just that - we go through what is against the rules and how you might avoid it in future. Further steps are temporary ban & permaban. We really hate having to perma-ban and only do this if that player is persistently affecting the immersion and/or the well-being of other members of the community. 6. We will tell all involved in an incident when the matter has been resolved but never talk about any resolution with anyone other than the person involved. We value & respect your privacy. 7. If you dont tell us about it, with evidence, we cant do anything about it. 8. TriJin is last resort. If you still arent happy with an issue then you may send a notecard direct to TriJin and his decision, as sim owner, is final.] [14:58] Helene Cadienne: eh, Monsieur, eet would bee razzer annoyING to read comme ca, sance i cannot use ze grammare effectIVE [14:58] Usagi Vyper: type /9st [14:58] TornTooth: Awesome [14:59] TornTooth: In prior sims (not naming them), they are heavily "Admin Godmod" based. [14:59] Jitterbug Haggwood: we don't work that way Torn...we abhor that kind of thing [14:59] Helene CadienneHelene Cadienne is too sweet and innocent to go to jail :P [15:00] Faith Diesel: every mediation has at least 3 people involved [15:01] TornTooth: Sounds fair and well thought out. [15:01] Jitterbug Haggwood: exactly...and just waht i was gonna say Leigh [15:01] Faith Diesel: and no staff member involved in an issue can be involved in the moderation [15:02] TornTooth: Other places tend to scare players into not making OOC complaints for fear of ban. [15:02] Faith Diesel: we ask you to come forward [15:02] TornTooth: :) [15:02] Faith Diesel: we expect all players to respect each other [15:03] TornTooth: "Unbiased Moderation" - Love it [15:04] Usagi Vyper: Torn.. I've gone head to head with the ST's before.. It did'nt allways go my way, but I'm not afraid to speak up.. That's never been an issue for me. [15:04] TornTooth: hehe [15:04] Usagi Vyper: da bunneh is aposter child for 'issues' [15:04] Usagi Vyper: i almost won that fight ! [15:05] Faith Diesel: we refer all our mediations to the rules of legacies - tris rules for us moderators are very strict so everything is fair [15:05] TornTooth: bunneh slippers [15:05] Usagi Vyper: i had Leigh down to around 10% [15:05] Usagi Vyper: then she KILLE me !! [15:05] Usagi Vyper: i shall have my REVENGE ! [15:05] TornTooth: So we get to take on the STs in the ring :P COOOOL [15:06] Faith Diesel: and yes - we do not tell anyone other than the player concerned about a resolution - your privacy is paramount [15:06] Usagi Vyper: no it was health. i was watching that VERY closely [15:06] Speyeder Farina: battle royal :D [15:06] Helene Cadienne: a gym! does that mean we can have one of those vibrating horses?! [15:06] Speyeder Farina: not seen it yet [15:06] Usagi Vyper: still, i got to beat the prosecutor down. that was worth gettn killed. [15:06] Winter Illios: haha spey hasn't been on the rp floor yet [15:06] TornTooth: Tag Team Cage Fight... I'll have the Rock Moss as a partner :P [15:07] Helene Cadienne: the victorians were wild for 'health' [15:07] Usagi Vyper: he had it comming [15:07] TornTooth: He is nasty. [15:07] Winter Illios: lol it might eat you [15:07] Usagi Vyper: the ice golems hit harder. [15:07] Faith Diesel: giggles would love it if someone ran a gym and organised illegal fisticuffs in the ring [15:08] BenBold: I had a long chat with them the other day, and it looks like they are starting somethone [15:08] Usagi Vyper: well if you want illegal.. just slug a constable.. hehe [15:08] Usagi Vyper: free room an board. [15:08] TornTooth: All I can say is... great build, great organization... and finding out that this has been going for over 3 years, I'm surprised it isn't advertised a great deal. [15:08] Usagi Vyper: all the horrible food you can eat. [15:08] TornTooth: I guess it filters out all the "asshats" [15:09] Jitterbug Haggwood: lol [15:09] Usagi Vyper: oh no, they do themselves in in short order. [15:09] Faith Diesel: Legacies is about 4years old [15:09] Helene Cadienne: indeed. when people find out i'm on sl, all i talk about is Legacies [15:09] Faith Diesel: and yes we believe in the players recommending legacies to others [15:09] TornTooth: WOW [15:10] Winter Illios: well, i've never been as greatful as when i finally let rune talk me into coming to legacies because i've had good rp ever since [15:11] Faith Diesel: Tri is a lover of creative rp [15:11] Faith Diesel: he does this for the love of rp [15:11] Helene Cadienne: o, i'm the queen of free stuff. hardly anything i use in game cost anything [15:11] TornTooth: Solutions made from the passion of it, have a defining quality over that which is made for profit. [15:12] TornTooth: The Chronicles are just personal diaries, I guess. [15:12] Aisin: What is a a merit? What are they for? [15:13] TornTooth: So, in the Chronciles, I can write as an "author" [15:13] BenBold: Yes - check "Home is the Sailor" for example [15:13] Faith Diesel: A merit is our way of showing appreciation for your creativity [15:14] BenBold: a gold star, just like school [15:14] TornTooth: "A pat on the back" [15:14] Faith Diesel: tri is working on making merit exchangeable to things but that hasnt started yet [15:14] Usagi Vyper: for the record, feel free to use anything about the bunneh you might happen to play at, or find out. [15:15] TornTooth: I've yet to read them all. There's so many [15:15] TornTooth: It wouldn't surprise me if there's a famous writer lurking around Legacies :P [15:16] Aisin: Thank God because I'm pants at combat. [15:16] Helene Cadienne: famous writers and other things [15:16] LaRPS Meter v0.25: ((Mista Pawpad's meter has been detached.)) [15:16] Helene Cadienne: (she said, modestly) [15:17] BenBold: turns Helene's key [15:17] TornTooth: The technology of Second Life doesn't work well with combat. I play Skyrim, WoW, .. etc. Better SL to be a calmer version [15:17] Helene CadienneHelene Cadienne fwaps Bed. "Quiet, you!" [15:18] BenBold: I've only been here a little under a year, and I haven't felt the need to go elsewhere [15:18] Usagi Vyper: i came from a combat SIM, when it folded we al lscattered. but no one would allow the bunneh. A friend found legacies for me, brought me here, then she left. but I've been here sense. just over a year now. [15:19] Winter Illios: what are some good ways to give back? [15:19] Winter Illios: for instance, i mentor [15:20] BenBold: ifyou want to be a greeter etc, come see me [15:20] Usagi Vyper: read my profile, it clearly states I'm a LEGACIES persona.. hehe [15:20] Faith Diesel: Your rentals, donations and buying from vamporium pays for the sim - at least part of it [15:21] Usagi Vyper: it only tok a year.. still waiting on SEXCRAFT !! hehe [15:21] Winter Illios: haha. courtesan skills [15:21] Faith Diesel: and as Leigh says Greeting is a great way to help - just talk to Benbold [15:21] TornTooth: Oooo farming in SexCraft LOL, imagine the grinding on that! :P [15:22] Faith Diesel: giggles [15:22] Jitterbug Haggwood: lol [15:22] Faith Diesel: that would make Tri laugh [15:22] Helene Cadienne: does that fall under Animal Husbandry?

Question about Reporters http://larps.net/lc/topic/question-about-reporters#post-8781 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 19:46:07 +0000 DorianThorn Resident DorianThorn Resident 8781@http://larps.net/lc/ Hi Legos community. Got a few questions about the newspapers. My character Dorian Thorn is looking to become a reporter but, in regards to rping this, I'm sort of stumped. I don't know how to go about applying ICly for a job at either The News of the World or The London News. I sent a couple of private messages to Johnnie Wendt and Olivia Shadowcry but I don't know if they're the directors of these papers or just reporters. So... 1. Am I allowed to just do freelance reporting and submit articles for one of these papers and assume they pay Dorian a salary for his articles or would that be an inappropriate way to rp? 2. Who would the administrators for these papers be to track down for an interview 3. What would the interview process be? 4. Are these papers even hiring reporters?

How may I be of service?" Pandora smiles at Borris. " I brought you the fresh oysters you asked about. They are plump and I dotted them with a bit of hot sauce from India." Pandora: "Dapper hat." Borris gives a small nod, "Thank you... It was an awful pain to retrieve." Takes an oyster and pops in his jaw. It seems to go somewhere. " Mmm, these are incredibly fresh, the heat of the sauce and the texture of the oyster with the bit of brine...delicious." Borris selects another oyster and slurps it down. Pandora: "Speaking of hats, and clothing in general, Borris, I am designing a line of clothing for the... the ..especially slim. I am calling it City Splendor in Slender. I am hoping to persuade you to buy a few pieces. I can show you my sketches." She pulls out her sketchbook and Borris appears interested as he pages throught the sketches, pointing to this one and that one. " I do like these, right here, Miss Pandora. Might I have a sample of the fabrics you have available?" /me smiles. " Oh, indeed, Borris! I have some with a very thin thread count.... er... rather, some that will drape well on you. " Borris nods. " Have them sent round and I will look through them. That's a gest, Miss Pandora. I' m thin, look through... oh never mind." " I shall be glad to Borris. I think you wiil be pleased if you let me outfit you in fresh up to date styles. I shall send them round tomorrow."" Lux's Discussion in the Park http://larps.net/lc/topic/luxs-discussion-in-the-park#post-8773 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 04:15:34 +0000 Lux Tharnaby Lux Tharnaby 8773@http://larps.net/lc/ [2012/01/12 18:40] Lux Tharnaby: "Anyway, I'd like to speak to you today about why I'm running for Mayor and what I would do should you elect me." [2012/01/12 18:40] Lux Tharnaby: As I understand the bylaws of our city, each new Mayor selects the members of the City Council, and together they select the Magistrates, and they make the laws and important decisions for us all. [2012/01/12 18:40] Lux Tharnaby: "As I understand the bylaws of our city, each new Mayor selects the members of the City Council, and together they select the Magistrates, and they make the laws and important decisions for us all." [2012/01/12 18:41] Lux Tharnaby: /me gestures for Modesty to come forward. "Please...come, Modesty. You're as welcome as anyone." [2012/01/12 18:41] Modesty: /me pauses on her way to the cafe. She smiles to the small group and gives a small curtsey, "Good evening everyone." [2012/01/12 18:42] Lux Tharnaby: "As I was saying, What's wrong with that? Well, in fact the City Council usually does a good job. However in recent months, cases of simple citizens being taken advantage of by the government has increased. As I walk around and introduce myself to those I've not met, citizens often tell me they feel barred from participating in government and unrepresented by those who do participate. My patients tell me that too. In fact, the city has become an Oligarchy, a government where control rests in the hands of an elite class distinguished by royalty, wealth, family ties, commercial, and/or military legitimacy." [2012/01/12 18:42] Modesty: /me moves closer, listening curiously. [2012/01/12 18:43] Eden Bucannan: /me turns and smiles to the woman recognizing her as one of the Mayoral canditates that she saw speaking in the boxing ring [2012/01/12 18:43] Lux Tharnaby: /me tips his head to Glo. "Good evening Miss Maertens!" [2012/01/12 18:44] Lux Tharnaby: "My plan is simple. As Mayor I'll select city council members committed to chaining the bylaws so that the Mayor will no longer select the council members. Instead, each established family, clan or business can choose who it wants from among them to represent them on the Council. And we'll reserve a spot for a resident who is not affiliated with a family, clan or counsel. (I'd prefer to have one from each major neighborhood actually -- IL, BD, VM, AM, and TO, but I cannot yet come up with a simple way to select these people.)" [2012/01/12 18:44] Modesty: /me looks over, giving a smile to Gloriana and a small curtsey before turning back to Lux. [2012/01/12 18:44] Gloriana Maertens: x [2012/01/12 18:44] Gloriana: /me approaches the group, purpose to her step. She stops at the outskirts of the crowd. "Good," she mutters, "I did'nae miss it after all‚Ä¶" She moves in close to listen. [2012/01/12 18:44] Eden Bucannan: /me smiles at Gloriana [2012/01/12 18:45] Lux Tharnaby: Once the City Council has changed the bylaws, I'll ask the new Council to make one more change -- to abolish the Mayor and Vice Mayor posts. And when that is done, I will fire the Vice Mayor and myself. [2012/01/12 18:45] Lux Tharnaby: "Once the City Council has changed the bylaws, I'll ask the new Council to make one more change -- to abolish the Mayor and Vice Mayor posts. And when that is done, I will fire the Vice Mayor and myself." [2012/01/12 18:46] Gloriana: /me cocks her head at Eden as she spies her, a blank look on her face. Which is nearly almost instantly replaced with a warm smile. [2012/01/12 18:46] Lux Tharnaby: "I will step down no matter what within 30 days, whether I'm successful or not. And there are many ways in which my plans can fail. The old members might fight my actions in court. The new council members may change their mind and not help me change the bylaws. And how do you all know that I mean it when I promise to step down? All good questions." [2012/01/12 18:47] Pandora: /me turns an smiles at the women who have arrived. [2012/01/12 18:48] Lux Tharnaby: "That's it, in a nutshell. Does my plan make sense to you all?" [2012/01/12 18:49] Eden Bucannan: /me shifts from foot to foot builing up the courage to speak " If I may?" [2012/01/12 18:50] Lux Tharnaby: "Of course, Eden. What would you like to know?" [2012/01/12 18:50] Modesty: /me smiles to Eden, keeping her question for the moment as she listens. [2012/01/12 18:50] Gloriana: /me responds, finally, to Lux. "Gd'evening sir," she says, fixing him with an anticipatory look. [2012/01/12 18:52] Eden Bucannan: /me You say the representives will be chosen from the clans and business‚Äô ‚ÄúHow many places are there? And if there as more clans and businesses then council positions how will they be allocated?‚Äù [2012/01/12 18:54] Lux Tharnaby: /me nods. "Some businesses are clearly already validsubmit a signed letter of intent and shall have at the very least 4 members." [2012/01/12 18:55] Lux Tharnaby: "valid. Others will submit...." [2012/01/12 18:55] Lux Tharnaby: "The hospital, bank, constabulary...they each will be asked to send Council members." [2012/01/12 18:56] Lux Tharnaby: "And the major clans like the Black Rose, Clan Seid...several others. And don't forget that I will ask the city to select an unaffiliated citizen as well." [2012/01/12 18:56] Pandora: /me shakes her head. "With all due respect, doctor, I feel you have contradicted yourself. On the one hand, you say, and I shall attempt to quote you, 'he city has become an Oligarchy, a government where control rests in the hands of an elite class distinguished by royalty, wealth, family ties, commercial, and/or military legitimacy.' Then you propose to put the large and important families on the council, with a gratuitous nod to the unafilliated folks. And again, I will try to quote you. ' Instead, each established family, clan or business can choose who it wants from among them to represent them on the Council. And we'll reserve a spot for a resident who is not affiliated with a family, clan or counsel. ' I confess, I cannot follow your logic here. You are proposing the very oligarchy which you say the citizens complain of. [2012/01/12 18:56] Modesty: /me ponders for a moment, tilting her head, "That would be a rather large and unwieldy council indeed. " [2012/01/12 18:57] Pandora: /me nods in agreement with Miss Modesty. [2012/01/12 18:58] Gloriana: /me 's look would tend to indicate this is is just a touch beyond her. She rubs her arms, trying to warm up. [2012/01/12 18:58] Lux Tharnaby: /me nods. "All reasonable objections. But I think I can allay your concerns. We'll limit the council at first to 10 or perhaps 12 members. Now of course many of the city's prominent citizens will be urged to serve. But now, only a few groups are served. We'll be making a big improvement on that. [2012/01/12 18:59] Eden Bucannan: /me nods "Might I ask who the groups being served are now?" [2012/01/12 19:02] Lux Tharnaby: "The Council is overwhelmingly represented by members of the Black Rose family...Leigh, Raylon, Saern. And the rest are from the hospital I believe. I'll prevent any clan from sending more than one member." [2012/01/12 19:04] Modesty: /me brushes her errant tresses from her eyes, "I understand your desire to rework the council Sir, but I admit I am still puzzled by your desire to eliminate the mayor position." [2012/01/12 19:05] Eden Bucannan: /me nods in agreement [2012/01/12 19:07] Lux Tharnaby: /me nods. "Modesty, I've been living and working here for over two years. I've been Chief of Staff at the Hospital, and I've seen so many Mayors come and go. I find the constant bickering between the Mayor and the Council to be a distraction. And frankly my dear, no one gives a damn. Look at us...two days before the election and I'm the only one who has yet held a session like this, as far as I know. And in my audience of four, two of you are really here to support other tickets. The position has *always* been a drain on all of our resources. Let the council make the laws. Let the families, clans and businesses revoke their representatives when their interests are not served. And let the council toss any lazy bones with a 2/3 no confidence vote. That's all we need. Really. [2012/01/12 19:09] Lux Tharnaby: /me peers over to Viola. "Excuse me..we are 6 all totaled. [2012/01/12 19:09] Viola Ringtail: /me softly shakes her head with a grin. "No appologys needed. I just recently stopped in." [2012/01/12 19:10] Lux Tharnaby: /me continues.... [2012/01/12 19:11] Modesty: /me smiles, "Honestly I didn't know you were holding a rally good Sir. I was just on my way to the cafe. She nods, "But I understand your concern regarding the mayor's impact within the council and the City. I just don't agree that it should be abolished. Would things not be better served if you made your changes but kept your position as mayor? If you can make such a sweeping and hopefully beneficial change would it not be of value to keep such a one in the mayor's seat?" [2012/01/12 19:11] Eden Bucannan: /me Looks around the group then back at Lux ‚ÄúAnd how do you know how our votes will be cast?‚Äù [2012/01/12 19:12] Lux Tharnaby: "What does the Mayor do? Fill the City Council with his or her cronies, that's what. And then he or she rages around about this and that and achieves nothing. No one wants to participate in a setup government. Now once I've come and gone, the Council is free to reinstate the Mayor. But I'm not to be Mayor...I simply lack the time." Lux turns to Eden. "Ballots will be cast in specially arragned ballot boxes by the current head of the city council, who is Leigh. (She is also the Chief Magistrate, by the way.)" Lux shakes his head." [2012/01/12 19:14] Eden Bucannan: /me shakes her head "No, I know how to cast a vote ....you said that 2 people here would be voting for other candidates...I am merely asking how you know how people will vote? I for one am undecided" [2012/01/12 19:17] Pandora: "I am sure he was referring to Miss Modesty and me, as Adra is my business partner. But I came to make sure I was understanding his platform rather than misinterpreting." [2012/01/12 19:17] Lux Tharnaby: /me laughs. "I'm sorry. I was simply making an observation...and in bad taste. Modesty, as you know, is running against me." Lux turns to Modesty. "I have no ill will, I assure you dear." Lux turns back to Eden. "And I believe, from her frosty statements at the boxing ring that Miss Fireguard favors another as well." Lux turns to Pandora. "I'll still buy your suits, Miss Fireguard. You are so very skilled." [2012/01/12 19:18] Gloriana Maertens: /me's confusion is slowly being replaced with interest, which then grows into something resembling morbid fascination. "‚Ä¶naught but a bunch of damned lunatics," she mutters to herself, amazed. [2012/01/12 19:18] Gloriana: /me 's confusion is slowly being replaced with interest, which then grows into something resembling morbid fascination. "‚Ä¶naught but a bunch of damned lunatics," she mutters to herself, amazed. [2012/01/12 19:19] Modesty: /me smiles and shakes her head, murmuring, "I did not take it as such Sir. We have differing opinions but that does not set us against each other personally." [2012/01/12 19:19] Pandora: "And you wear them so well. Dr. Tharnaby. I admit, I was hoping to hear that you had moved away from your initial proposal to hand power over to the already powerful." [2012/01/12 19:21] Lux Tharnaby: /me frowns. "Why would you think that I favor the elite, Miss Fireguard? Now...I do not believe that any newcomer and vagrant can presume to represent the town's interests, but we're providing for families as small as 3 members...all that is required is a statement of intent. You three in front of me can be a family and send someone!" [2012/01/12 19:23] Lux Tharnaby: "And I have already proposed that in the future, the council should have a seat for an unaffiliated member...one from each of the 5 main neighborhoods...IL, BD, VM, AM and TO." [2012/01/12 19:23] Lux Tharnaby: "I just don't know how to organize such widespread nominations just yet. But the council is free to do it." [2012/01/12 19:23] Pandora: /me frowns. "But you are forcing us to be families in order to be represented. As a human, my family would be my husband, children and parents and so forth. My family is back in the Cotswolds. I have no family here." [2012/01/12 19:25] Lux Tharnaby: "I don't see this as a big obstacle. Just get two of your friends to become a clan then...which is nothing more than a club when it comes down to it. And if you truly need to remain completely unaffiliated, then go for *that* spot on the council!" [2012/01/12 19:28] Pandora: /me looks extremely puzzled. " Clans are in Scotland. I..I. suppose I could have a sewing or reading club, but that does not mean we would feel the same way about politics." shakes her head and is silent. [2012/01/12 19:28] Lux Tharnaby: "My friends, I suspect that we'll have to beg to get a dozen Council members...that's how cynical our citizens are about participating in politics here. I hope to do as the ancient Greeks once did...and open the council to residents from all walks...all sorts of businesses, not just the big one...all clans, species, and needs." Lux looks at them in ernest. I really believe this will work."" [2012/01/12 19:29] Eden Bucannan: "I can see your concern Miss Fireguard as that was one of mine too. I applaud you Mr Tharnaby for thinking outside the box so to speak, I am just not sure how successful it would be in practice as each council member would be working in their own interests of their clan or buisness....but as you say that is happening already" [2012/01/12 19:30] Gloriana: /me moves closer to Pandora as the debate continues. She catches her eye and whispers, "A moment of your time, Miss Pandora. When you have a moment. A business matter." [2012/01/12 19:30] Pandora: /me nods as she listens to Gloriana. [2012/01/12 19:30] Lux Tharnaby: /me nods. "Yes, it is. It always has. But my council will have the ability to toss self-serving members. I admit tht this may get intense...but with two ways tto rremove non-contributors, it's the best anyone can do. [2012/01/12 19:31] Eden Bucannan: "then would it not be best if, should you win, that you say as Mayor to make sure that your idea come to fruition and is not tainted in anyway?" [2012/01/12 19:33] Edenz: *any way [2012/01/12 19:33] Lux Tharnaby: /me looks puzzled. "Would you try asking once more please Eden...I don't understand. [2012/01/12 19:34] Eden Bucannan: /me smiles "My point is that you will resign as Mayor, once you have set the council up, yes?" [2012/01/12 19:34] Lux Tharnaby: /me nods. "that is correct, whether I'm successful or not. [2012/01/12 19:35] Eden Bucannan: "and have said if the council wish to reinstate the Mayoral position if they wish, and the chances are they will" [2012/01/12 19:36] Lux Tharnaby: /me shrugs. "I have no idea what future Council members might decide is best. [2012/01/12 19:36] Eden Bucannan: "therefore they can overturn all that you have changed and the status quo will be returned to how it is now" [2012/01/12 19:36] Lux Tharnaby: /me nods. "Certainly. [2012/01/12 19:37] Eden Bucannan: "surely if you implement the changes it was be a wise move to keep the roll to keep your suggestions in place" [2012/01/12 19:37] Eden Bucannan: /me looks to the crowd "Have I made that clearer?" [2012/01/12 19:37] Lux Tharnaby: "But...they'll need to change the law...and that means that the council will have to agree on this. I will make my plan law. Not so easy to overturn. I can be done...as it should be possible. But why would they do that if it's working?" [2012/01/12 19:39] Eden Bucannan: /me shrugs "power....I would think all things come back to that...this is politics after all" [2012/01/12 19:39] Pandora: /me nods. "Yes, you have, Miss Bucannan. [2012/01/12 19:39] Gloriana: /me 's slow drawl pipes out over the crowd. It's said and meant kindly. "Think you might be making the assumption they've got a scrap of common sense b'twixt 'em sir. They might. They might not." [2012/01/12 19:41] Lux Tharnaby: /me nods. "Yes, but those who believe they weid power usually do not. As I've said...I've seen so many rise and fall." Lux pauses. "There were times when a great leader emerged in a place...and all benefitted so long as that leader lived. Let's wait for one, instead of just electing an endless string of Joes and Janes." [2012/01/12 19:42] Pandora: "nods again. " What is to stop them from acting in their own self-interest. The Mayor is check of power. But that is the way of England. We elect people. We are not craven, cowering in caves until the next biggest club-wielder lumbers up to the cave door."" [2012/01/12 19:44] Lux Tharnaby: /me nods. "You are, Miss Fireguard, you! Should a business send a self-serving council member, you and the others will talk about it and stop shopping in their store! You hold the power...that's the point. [2012/01/12 19:45] Gloriana: /me looks up with a start. "Gods above, I'll be late for class at this rate," she mumbles, and then leans over to whisper in Pandora's ear. "I've need of things made. Clothes, and the like. I know you sew. Thought we might talk about it when you can, but I've got to get to class. I'll try to speak t'ye after, if I can find ye?" [2012/01/12 19:46] Eden Bucannan: /me one would hope they have the right to throw him/her out of council, as opposed to just not shop at the store......talking of which would they have that right? And would the buiness or clan have to send someone else or lose their position on the council altogether?" [2012/01/12 19:47] Modesty: /me smiles as she realizes the time, giving a curtsey to the small group. She wanders off quietly not wanting to interrupt. [2012/01/12 19:47] Lux Tharnaby: /me shrugs. "None of us thinks that we will ever be rid of selfish lack of regard for others' interests. We do the best we can. Politics requires vigilance...one must endeavor to persevere." [2012/01/12 19:48] Lux Tharnaby: /me has a seat. "I'm all out of words for today, ladies. Thank you for listening." [2012/01/12 19:49] Pandora: "turns to Gloriana. " I am so sorry. Have you got one minute to let me know what you need?" [2012/01/12 19:49] Gloriana: /me nods. "One moment." She approaches Mr. Tharnaby quickly, and thrusts a small envelope out to him. "Good luck with your candidacy, sir," she says, [2012/01/12 19:50] Lux Tharnaby: /me looks up to Miss Maertens blinking. He accepts the envelope. "What is this, Miss Maertens?" [2012/01/12 19:51] Gloriana: "Not for now, Sir. I know you're busy. When you have time." [2012/01/12 19:51] Pandora: "Thank you for your time and good humour , Dr. Tharnaby. 'smiles and nods. "I am afraid we will not agree on this but that is the way of politics. I cannot agree to an oligarchy and the mayor abdicating postition and responsibility once elected." [2012/01/12 19:51] Lux Tharnaby: /me nods and tucks the envelope into his coat. [2012/01/12 19:51] Pandora: /me steps aside. [2012/01/12 19:52] Lux Tharnaby: /me waves. "Thank you for your thoughs, Miss Fireguard!" [2012/01/12 19:52] Pandora: "Miss Gloriana, may I send a seamstress by to get your measurements and a list of what you need?" [2012/01/12 19:52] Gloriana: /me returns to Pandora. "I've got class to get to, but‚Ä¶ a corset. Can you make those?" [2012/01/12 19:53] Eden Bucannan: /me walks over to Lux and motions to te seat next to him "May I?" [2012/01/12 19:53] Pandora: "Oh yes. I make corsets." [2012/01/12 19:53] Gloriana: /me sighs in relief. "Good. An' -- whale bone, Ye use that, right? No metal stays?" [2012/01/12 19:54] Lux Tharnaby: /me gestures to Eden. "Have a seat. It's time I told you a bit about myself." [2012/01/12 19:54] Lux Tharnaby: /me pats the bench seat beside him [2012/01/12 19:54] Pandora: "I can show you some styles and how they work. No , I do would never use metal. If whale bone is what you prefer, that is what I shall use." [2012/01/12 19:55] Eden Bucannan: /me smiles "Thank you" [2012/01/12 19:56] Gloriana: /me nos. "Good," she says emphatically. "Good. I -- I have class, Mis, I must run, but‚Ä¶ I'll try to find you later. And of course, please do send your girl around. I'm at 616 Baker." And with that she breaks into a run towards the tram. [2012/01/12 19:56] Pandora: /me smiles. "And I can make them in a variety of colors. No need to be drab under one's clothes. [2012/01/12 19:56] Gloriana: /me grins as she runs off [2012/01/12 19:57] Lux Tharnaby: /me grins. [2012/01/12 19:58] Eden Bucannan: /me looks at Lux and smiles "I think that went better than your speech in the boxing ring. I am not nearly as confused" [2012/01/12 20:00] Lux Tharnaby: /me nods. "I hope you'll spread the word. Class: January 12: Constables, Laws, Jail, and You http://larps.net/lc/topic/class-january-12-constables-laws-jail-and-you#post-8771 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 02:50:54 +0000 Seras Tearfall Seras Tearfall 8771@http://larps.net/lc/ [17:01] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Hello everyone and welcome to Constables and You. An informative class on the constables and their workings within Legacies. As well as a brief overview of the Laws of Legacies and the misunderstood jail time rp. [17:02] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): I would like to introduce myself for those who do not know me I am Victoria, I have been rping in Legaices for a while now and have the honor of being one of the greeting staff so if you have any questions feel free to ask me if you see me about, and now on with the show :) First off how many of you believe the constables only hire seasoned players and will not accept any new players? [17:03] Inumaru Udein: old and new should be able to join the ranks, i'd believe.. equal opritunity ? [17:03] Emilia (pink.gearz): back sorry [17:03] Inumaru Udein: wb [17:03] Emilia (pink.gearz): tyty [17:04] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): I always thought seasoned players could only be constables. [17:04] Vain Bloodsmoore (vain.adder): That is not true [17:04] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Exactly John, we have no preference as long as you want the job and are not a visible serial killer you have a chance. That is one of the biggest misunderstandings I have heard as some have stated that they are new and are not able to work as a constable thinking they are not strong enough. [17:04] Inumaru Udein: you may get knocked around easier.. but that's just RP in general XD [17:06] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): And as you said equal opportunity, all constables are not made the same, I am sure we all have our images of iconic constables and there is one thing I can add to that, not every constables or law enforcer is out for the betterment of the city, can someone give me an example from rp, movies books wherever? [17:06] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Hello Edenz [17:06] Vain Bloodsmoore (vain.adder): Shyles Oliver Suppenkraut, the finest officer to walk the streets of Rivet Town and Legacies [17:07] Edenz: oh sorry...waiting for it all to rezz [17:07] Crion Ringtail (crion.clanger): What about the archtype of the "Dirty cop"? Taking bribes, being leniant or doing favors to a criminal orginization that has payed them off for these favors? [17:07] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): I can't remember the show or the character's name but he's bald and played by the same guy who played the Thing in Fantastic Four [17:08] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): He's a good dirty cop example [17:08] Inumaru Udein: you mean the guy from die hard << ? [17:08] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): No, I don't think that's him [17:08] K.D. (keighvin.silvansky): The NCIS shows have had several bad cops. [17:08] Aerigo: well the have lots of bad guys too [17:09] Inumaru Udein: yea << [17:09] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Exactly what i was getting at. through a ruse they might have been hired to the constables with their own wicked intentions, bribed extortion, you name it. If you act well enough to get the job you can if you get hired. One of the most funny rps I have done as Commissioner was I hired someone who made it clear in IMs after that he only asked me for directions and I misread it and though he asked for a job. [17:09] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Hello Lux and Pandora [17:10] K.D. (keighvin.silvansky): *snickers* [17:11] Pandora Fireguard: smiles. hi hi [17:11] Inumaru Udein: XD [17:11] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): Vic Mackey from The Shield, played by Michael Chiklis. He's the dirty cop example I was thinking of. [17:11] Lux Tharnaby waves [17:11] Pandora Fireguard: He is horrible. lol [17:11] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Ok all I would like to ask, what exactly do you allthink constables do for their job? [17:11] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): ? [17:12] Inumaru Udein: patrol the city, respond to calls.. normal cop stuff [17:12] Pandora Fireguard: mmm walk about the city? [17:12] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): excelent D. havent ever watched the shield may have to start sometime [17:12] Lux Tharnaby: They knocks muthufuckas out! [17:12] Emilia (pink.gearz): Stand around poke people with night sticks and tell.. "Move along nothing to see here!" [17:12] Vain Bloodsmoore (vain.adder) stokes his beard. "I was a desk jockey." [17:12] Aerigo: they investigate? [17:12] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Hello Leigh [17:12] Aerigo: and walk the streets with a gas latern [17:13] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): eat donuts [17:13] Vain Bloodsmoore (vain.adder): I never ate a donut on duty, I had scones. [17:13] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): and all great answers but Aerigo broke the steriotype I was looking for. Though a constable is occasionally needed to crack heads and kick some bad guy booty most of the job is evidence and investigation. We are old school CSI's [17:13] Pandora Fireguard: take fruit off of fruit carts? [17:14] Vain Bloodsmoore (vain.adder) glances over his shoulder. "Leigh is here, I'd better behave myself." [17:14] Inumaru Udein: X3 [17:15] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): puts a finger to her lips not wanting to disturb [17:15] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Now if everyone would like to click the click the top constables box behind me I will go over the new system that has been instilled in the constables. Not every constable does the same job, before you look it over can someone think of a few different types there might be? [17:15] Emilia (pink.gearz): Desk Clerk.. Investigator.. Street cop.. etc [17:16] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Oh very good guesses Emilia and quite accurate. At the moment we have 4 departments within the constables that each have their own sergeant in charge of their affairs. [17:17] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): First off we have General affairs constable who are the more street cops who go out and are the one who collect the warrants and are more than likely the ones you will see patrolling the city most often [17:17] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Hello Nic [17:18] Nic Luv (nicolie.luv): waves and hides behind his wife [17:18] Aerigo: damn he is huge [17:19] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Second we have Detectives who are the more personable ones who are experts at getting you to spill the beans, they are also the lead evidence gatherers. [17:20] Aerigo: good cop bad cop? [17:20] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Thirdly we have Forensics, yes it did exist back then but not to the extent we have now, and they are more the desk sitters who just wait for us to get evidence to them and they are best at picking up clues left, perhaps there is something special about a dead body that no one else saw, it would be them to find it [17:21] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): and yes exactly we can always play a little good cop bad cop with the suspects if they are not talking [17:21] Inumaru Udein: forensics could also be on scene, and are great at gathering minute details :D ? [17:22] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): and Lastly we have Department of Magical affairs, can anyone tell me exactly what the reason for having a strictly magicl dealing department would be used for? [17:22] Edenz: Do you also use the "Eyes too close together " school of thought? Didn't they study what the considered to be typical facial features of criminals? [17:23] Aerigo: do you offer em a smoke and a cup a joe? [17:23] Emilia (pink.gearz): Seeing if magic was used to cover things or commit the crime have to know magic to discover the forensics of it. [17:23] Inumaru Udein: it's because magic can prove anything to be true.. it's why you don't use it for discoveries.. often [17:24] Inumaru Udein: and that XD [17:25] Aerigo: can it prove something to be true if it isnt true? [17:25] Emilia (pink.gearz): This statement is false [17:26] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): hmm no I haven't heard of that Edenz but a awesome idea, and if they request a cup of coffee it may be considered depending if they are good. and excellent answers all though you will not see magically obtained evidence much there is alot of magic about Legacies and not every constable is a mage, if we sent a person who has never heard of these new fangled "Spells" to a case where the person was killed by magic it would not be to effective would it [17:27] Inumaru Udein: nope :I [17:27] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Alright I think we have the constable and their departments covered one last but about them is that we do more than just arrest. If any look into becoming a constable there is A LOT of paperwork that goes with the job. [17:28] Inumaru Udein: so.. they are specialists, that are good at noticing spell based damage, residue, etc ? [17:28] Inumaru Udein: lol [17:28] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): Oh boy, I got to teach Dire how to read before he applies to the constabulatory. [17:28] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Yes, most of those officers are spell casters themselves so they understand the arcane arts more then say someone who rps a big physical fighter [17:29] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Lol D. [17:29] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Ok so before we move on are there any last questions? [17:30] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): One that part ugh cant tyep tonight [17:30] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): -_- [17:30] Vain Bloodsmoore (vain.adder) rifles through his notecards and glances up briefly to shake his head. [17:31] Emilia (pink.gearz): <--was taught silence means no [17:31] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): good here [17:31] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Alrighty then we shall go on to the next big difference. So do the Laws of Legacies mean they are the same as the Laws of the USA or even entirely as the Queens London of that time? [17:32] Pandora Fireguard: murmurs to herself. "And teach Dire proper table manners" [17:32] Pandora Fireguard: Basically, yes [17:32] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): One thing at a time, Pandora. [17:32] Vain Bloodsmoore (vain.adder) holds up a notecard. "My laws list is out of date." [17:32] Pandora Fireguard: With some adjustments for race.. [17:33] Emilia (pink.gearz): No [17:33] Pandora Fireguard: smiles sweetly at Dorian. [17:33] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Nope though good try pandora. If everyone would like to click on the lower box now there is the newest (To my knowledge) updates laws od Legacies [17:34] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): Long list. (wipes forehead nervously) [17:35] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): The one thing to keep in mind with these laws and rulings on trials is precedence takes all, if there has been a ruling before on the same case or nearly the same case you can guess the outcome, but there is always a bit of randomness to keep it fun [17:36] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): are there any questions on the laws that you can see so far? [17:37] Vain Bloodsmoore (vain.adder) shakes his head. "Good to see it updated though." [17:37] Emilia (pink.gearz): question [17:38] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Go for it Emilia [17:38] Emilia (pink.gearz): Part 1a [17:38] Emilia (pink.gearz): If you can't kill off characters.. Is that law really possible? [17:38] Emilia (pink.gearz): The penalty for murder is death. The convicted is to be hung by the neck until dead, though the method of execution may vary depending the convicted's species should this method be ineffective. [17:39] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): I can answer that if you like [17:39] Vain Bloodsmoore (vain.adder): There is no 'death' in Legacies [17:39] Inumaru Udein: someone could appear dead, my ring out dead, but pop up later XD [17:39] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): got for it Leigh [17:39] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): *go [17:39] Vain Bloodsmoore (vain.adder): Options are always open to be something else [17:40] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): the rule is there is no PErMA death that does not mean one cannot die...one can always come back to life.. dead does not mean the end of one's character [17:40] Emilia (pink.gearz): but you would still be ripping another characters roleplay and force them to veer in another direction.. Is that possible? If the RP leads to murder for a crime. [17:41] Emilia (pink.gearz): So then even if the person comes back to life the person that "killed them momentarily" would still be commiting a crime? Or once they pop up its all good?" [17:41] Emilia (pink.gearz): -" [17:42] Emilia (pink.gearz): Like road runner and Wile E. Coyote.. [17:42] Aerigo: acme [17:42] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): if one had commited murder and hung for it....if they came back to life if your asking if they would be hung again for the same crime the answer is no but if they commit another....well....I can only say it depends on the RP [17:43] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): kinda like double jeopardy [17:43] Emilia (pink.gearz): Sorry I was being confusing I suppose.. [17:43] Emilia (pink.gearz): I mean to say [17:44] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): no worries Emilia, there are no bad questions here. [17:44] Sexy Lady (gabrielle.sharpshire) is offline. [17:45] Emilia (pink.gearz): i.e. If I kill "A" and "A" and it jumes comes back.. once it's alive again. Can "A" still charge me for murder? [17:45] Emilia (pink.gearz): jumes- [17:45] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): yep they can [17:45] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): not many people can just spring back to life plausibly [17:45] Pandora Fireguard: well, wouldn't the rp end at that point? it is over unless, as Leigh said, there is another crime? [17:46] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): ok let me see if I can help clear this up for everyone and I didn't come in here to hijack Victoria's class [17:47] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): no worries Leigh though I was planning a Law class at a later date hehe [17:47] Emilia (pink.gearz): Didn't mean to make it complicated. Apologies >,< [17:48] Inumaru Udein: omg my head hurts >< [17:48] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): a lot of this are IC questions but to answer you oocly....IF it is proven that ICly Pandora was killed...even though she is brought back through RP...she was still killed it would not negate her being dead...and yes there is IC presedence about this very thing. [17:49] Emilia (pink.gearz): That answers it thank you Leigh [17:50] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): Can I ask for a clarification about one thing? [17:50] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): alright any other questions before we carry on? [17:50] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): go for it D. [17:50] Inumaru Udein: i brb.. gonna slowly make dinner [17:51] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): dont burn yourself [17:51] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): If A murders B and A is executed for the murder and then A is brought back to life, does A get executed a second time or would it be like double jeapordy? [17:51] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): I believe that would be double jepordy [17:52] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): okay, I got it [17:52] Lux Tharnaby: If A commits suicide and then is brought back, does A have to stand trial for murder? [17:52] Pandora Fireguard: ok. i assume when a murders b, if a is arrested, convicted, and punished, then even when b comes back, the rp is over. unless a kills b again. [17:52] Aerigo: did they have double jeapordy in 1891? [17:52] Emilia (pink.gearz): Double jeapordy has to do with charging for the same crime under two different jurisdictions of law.. Legacies is just one. [17:53] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): stand trial for murdering yourself? that would be a twisted court case lol who was the witness...yourself? [17:53] Edenz: you can't be tried for the same crime twice..... [17:53] Emilia (pink.gearz): What Leigh and Eden said.. Charged only once and punished once. [17:53] Pandora Fireguard: that is what i thought double jeopardy was,, too. [17:53] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): but no I doubt you would be charged with murdering yourself [17:54] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): please remember when doing reasearch about laws that you are not using American laws [17:54] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): we do try to follow the english common laws that existed in 1891 along with what has been set as presedence based on RP's [17:55] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Ok so are we all good on laws now? [17:55] Emilia (pink.gearz): yes [17:55] Edenz: yeap [17:56] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): yes [17:57] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Alright then now our last bit we need to cover is interaction with the constables and misunderstood jail time, first off when a constable comes on the scene does everyone have to scatter and yell "Oh no it is the fuz!"? [17:57] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): uh, if you're committing a crime, I'd assume that's what you would do. [17:58] Aerigo: po po [17:58] Crion Ringtail (crion.clanger): Or if you have been acting extreamly silly. [17:58] Aerigo: fire in the hole [17:58] Aerigo: walking bacon [17:58] Pandora Fireguard: no, they have to have reasonable cause or a warrant to arrest us, don't they? [17:58] Emilia (pink.gearz): Probable cause, but thats an american thing [17:59] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): yes, but you dont have to make it obvious, you can be nonchalant and actually talk to them, that is what they would least expect from a criminal as long as you are far enough away from your evidence and can lie yourself out of a paper bag you could get away clean...for now [17:59] Emilia (pink.gearz): Isolating constables from all RP bc they wear a badge is poor RP. [18:00] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): and yes unless we need a warrant of to see you commiting a crime to do anything right away and THANK YOU Emilia [18:00] Pandora Fireguard: how are they being isolated from rp? [18:01] K.D. (keighvin.silvansky): Well, if everyone always run from the cops, how do they get to rp with anyone? They are players too. *zips his own lips shut* [18:01] Emilia (pink.gearz): If the only RP victoria ever gets is.. "STUTTERS RUNS AND HIDES!" It limits them from interacting with the community. [18:01] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): that is something you can find out icly, but you do get treated different if you are an officer on duty or off duty [18:01] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): and yes another good point Emilia [18:01] Pandora Fireguard: usually the constables seem to be on their way somewhere else. [18:02] Gamja Myanamotu: i mean if you ahve someone that is a career criminal the last thing they are gonna do is strike up conversations with the po po let's be realistic, that's not iisolating them from rp, I have played criminals in other rps and my chars don't chat up cops, they want to be as far away from cops as possible [18:02] Pandora Fireguard: i feel like i don't want to detain them. [18:02] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): also, they're good people to go to for help if your character is in trouble. Most of the constables I've met asked if I was okay, including Victoria [18:03] Emilia (pink.gearz): Not true.. Actually more non fiction serial killers are very charming and get pleasure with the adrenaline from speaking to law enforcement. [18:03] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): well I know on patrol I usually just walk about waiting for rp, and yes D. do keep in mind that constables are there to help you. London in a dangerous place [18:03] Vain Bloodsmoore (vain.adder): I wouldn't say that, I've known a few 'criminals' that made pests of themselves at the station house. [18:04] Gamja Myanamotu: that's a serial killer, not a street thug, career criminals are street thugs, serial killers are not career criminals [18:04] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Ah pests.. on that note lets side step to Jail. So lets say you are arrested, does that mean your rp is haulted and you can not do anything but sit there [18:04] Ginny Darwin is offline. [18:05] Emilia (pink.gearz): Still this is an RP environment on a digital platform we use to make roleplay.. Running away from the law with that *run and hide* idea segregates us. [18:05] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): you can rp in jail [18:06] Gamja Myanamotu: i grew up around strett thugs and to me rp should be realistic, the street thugs i grew up around loathed the police and wen the police was around they took their business elsewhere, let's be realistic [18:06] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): if I may [18:06] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): go for it Leigh [18:07] Lux Tharnaby: Excuse me folks. Gotta go make an IC speech in the Park [18:07] Vain Bloodsmoore (vain.adder): Have fun. [18:07] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): sorry I am running over Lux have fun and I hope it was informative [18:07] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): anyone can RP their criminal character any way they chose...but there is one suggestion...usually the one you least likely suspect is the one that is open with are the ones that are near [18:08] Emilia (pink.gearz): But this is not real... This place is not real.. If you only sit in your house and RP with yourself bc you emote selling cocaine once an hour.. Limits your story and interaction with others.. All I'm saying is like Leigh said. If we all ignore the cops.. the who wants to RP being one? Defeats the purpose of being in an RP environment. [18:09] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): yes excellent D. Most people think you just have to sit there and do nothing. I have a few great examples of rp that has happened while in jail we had one recently that actually rped with the on duty constables and got tired of waiting and was under a spell for a while and electrocuted himself. [18:09] Emilia (pink.gearz): then who wants* [18:10] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): and yes we are telling anyone how to rp here, just advice that may help your rp grow [18:10] Gamja Myanamotu: if you'e selling cocaine you're not gonna be a good seller if you sell in your house, that's for one thin, I like realizm in my rp so when I play a criminal i act like a criminal, that's all I'm saying, I don't like unrealistic characters [18:10] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): *are not [18:10] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): lol the exact oppisite of what I ment with 1 word missing [18:10] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): actually that one will stick out more to an observant officer...your RP...enjoy your jurneies [18:11] Emilia (pink.gearz): agrees with Leigh [18:11] Gamja Myanamotu: but that's how a street thug acts, unless the cop stops him and question him [18:11] K.D. (keighvin.silvansky): what are some of the things you can do in the jail Victoria? [18:12] Aerigo: be someones girlfriend [18:15] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): We also had a recently imprisoneddshadow reaver a while ago that did all sorts of things as he annoyed the constables, and did normal things you would expect a prisoner to do: talk, yell, etc to get attention. But there are so many things you can do in jail. Hell you could start going crazy, sing to try and keep your spirits up, stick to you being innocent and try and prove it all the time. we do give paper and a pencil and you can write notes to get others to come visit you in jail, You can attempt to break out once a day, rp with the npc's or on duty cops to get their stories, also as long as it is reasonable we can bring things for you to work on skills. books are a pretty safe bet so you can try working on skills while in jail. Though do keep in mind it is jail not a luxury retreat as well. [18:19] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): And lastly does everyone know there is more than one way to get out of jail? [18:19] Aerigo: die [18:19] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): (appears intrigued) go on... [18:21] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): oh we could keep your corpse as a lovely decoration. However I was looking for Summary Judgment which is when a magistrate comes and asks if you are guilty and you take your punishment and get out quick. Or you can go for a trial and ask for bail to be set and if it is refused you are in for a sometimes long hall with barristers and jail time while you try and make your defence with your barrister until the date is set and you go to trial. [18:23] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Alright any last questions before we are dismissed? [18:23] D.Thorn (dorianthorn): I'm good [18:23] Emilia (pink.gearz): good too [18:23] Edenz: nope, all good [18:24] Pandora Fireguard: i don't have any. [18:25] Aerigo: nope [18:25] Vain Bloodsmoore (vain.adder): I'm all good [18:25] Victoria VanTassel (seras.tearfall): Awesome well just keep in mind that constables are here to help you and unless you are guilty no need to run =) and thank you all for making my first class great (Can one of the St's give out exp?) and everyone will need their meters on for this last part Lux's Mayor Platform http://larps.net/lc/topic/luxs-mayor-platform#post-8654 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 22:28:20 +0000 Lux Tharnaby Lux Tharnaby 8654@http://larps.net/lc/ The City Council is headed by the Mayor, and together they make all the important decisions in Legacies. I want the city council to represent more of the city's responsible citizens. Currently the City Council members are all appointed by the Mayor. So the Mayor gets to put whoever he likes on the council. That's too much power for one citizen to have. So I'm running for Mayor to change this. I want to overhaul the City Council. Vedis Seid suggested an appealing approach. The Council members would be chosen by the 10 most prominent businesses, clans and families in Legacies, one Council member per business, clan and family. If the business, clan or family sours on its Council member, they can remove that member and submit another. (In fact, we should encourage that they replace their member from time to time.) The Council can also make a change, by voting out any member who is not providing value to the Council and the city. I originally proposed that a majority vote would do, but I think it wiser to require a 2/3 vote for the Council to remove one of its members. Once we've got a dozen able Council members, I will have the Council dissolve the Mayor's position. Then I will fire the Vice Mayor and myself. Here's one problem with the plan. Independent citizens currently have no way to participate in government aside from voting for Mayor. We'd be taking that one opportunity away from them. To solve this problem, I propose that one of the City Council members come from the unaffiliated residents…someone with no business, clan or family ties. We can hold a city-wide election to select this individual. (We can even call this person the Mayor if we wish to.) That's really all there is to it. This should put a lot more control into the hands of the citizens most able to run the city. Some questions to ask: Will the City Council fall into back-biting and self-interest? Probably at times, yes. But with two ways to remove a pesky Council Member, we should be better able to fix it. -- Lux Tharnaby, Physician, Hypnotist, Hypnotherapist Never Boils http://larps.net/lc/topic/never-boils#post-8732 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:37:58 +0000 Gamja Myanamotu Gamja Myanamotu 8732@http://larps.net/lc/ [03:27 PM] Mordechai Rumil Singollo walked up to Jolie’s house whistling and would rapt lightly on the door. [03:29 PM] Anjolie Criss disgusted with what she was reading, she tossed the book on the chair as she rose to answer the door. Her hand on her stomach, rubbing it, she'd peek out the window to see who was knocking at her door. She smiled wide seeing Chai. She ran around to the door and swung it open, "Hello Chai! Come right in!" She'd step back and offer a dramatic sweep of her hand indicating he should step right in. [03:32 PM] Mordechai Rumil Singollo turned his eyes down to the little woman, his little woman and would lean down to place a peck on her cheek. Moving into the sitting room he would sit down on the couch and reaching up he’d gently take her hands to pull her down, “So how are you, dear?” He asked, his brilliant eyes flowing over her form. [03:36 PM] Anjolie Criss landed gently in his lap, draping her arms around his neck. She looked into his eyes but quickly looked away. Her voice was happy though, "I'm much better! I don't know what got into me but I just felt terrible. Katherine was right though, a good night's sleep was really all I needed." She's lace her gloved fingers into his, "How was your night?" She glanced up at him waiting his answer. [03:42 PM] Mordechai Rumil Singollo noticed that she quickly looked away from him and he’d try to look into her eyes but when she kept them away from him, he’d shrug wondering if she was alright, “I’m fine,” he said and then looked around, “Save the fact you still haven’t cooked for me.” Slowly he’d bat his long eyelashes and that sly little smile would crawl across his lips, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” [03:47 PM] Anjolie Criss smirk, "Oh so now I have to worry about your heart?" She stood up from his lap and began imitating the lustful waitress from the tea room that ogles him, "Yes Mr. Singollo..what can I get you? Coffee, Tea... or me?" She'd make believe she was holding a pad of paper and a pen to take his order. [03:52 PM] Mordechai Rumil Singollo * That brought a grin to his lips, “She oogles me a bit more than that,” he’d chuckle and recline on the couch, “I’ll take whatever you have made, dear, sans meat, you know how I hate meat. Perhaps some shepherd’s pie sans meat, if you have it, as for drinks, let’s see if I can handle that.” Lifting up his hand he’d try to conjure up a bottle of Dark Sacrament, sans the secret ingredient. [03:57 PM] Anjolie Criss turns toward the small kitchen area, if one could call it that, and mouthes to herself with a furrowed brow, "Shepard's pie?". She would then call back to him, "Sure - no problem!" as if it would be a piece of cake. Once in the kitchen area, she'd peek back to make sure he was not looking her way. [04:00 PM] Mordechai Rumil Singollo ‘s eyes watched as she went and he’d smile, turning back to the bottle of Dark Sacrament, his concoction he had made for The Emporium and would sell only to Adra but he did drink of it time after time. It was a superb drink, but he would be damned if he’d pay 250 coins for a glass of it just to have the added secret ingredient which he didn’t care for at all. Taking one of the glasses form the tray he would open the bottle and pour the black liquid into it. [04:03 PM] Anjolie Criss sighed relieved he was distracted with the drinks. She went to the farthest corner of the room so he couldn't readily see her and paced a bit anxiously, quietly she uttered to herself as she bit her finger, "I don't know how to make Shepard's pie ... he couldn't ask for like ... a salad. The man eats a damn salad every damn day ... now he wants Shepard's Pie." She sighs and rolls up her sleeves. "Ok ... it's now or never." She rubs her hands together, "First ... I gotta at least make it sound like I'm cooking." [04:05 PM] Anjolie Criss would snap her fingers trying to create the illusion, but instead the sound of a thousand pots and pans crashing through the floor reverbate through the entire flat! Borris probably heard the damn noise in the Black Rose Cafe! [04:08 PM] Mordechai Rumil Singollo reclined on the couch and lifted the drink to his lips inhaling the fragrance of it, sweet and citrus like. He would sip it and get that earthly taste bursting over his tongue followed by a rush of mandarin orange and then the lingering aftermath of cinnamon. The two aphrodisiacs in the drink throb in his veins, not like he really needed them anyway. He began to look about the room, looking at the art on the walls, smiling at the nudes, “The birth of Venus, how appropriate.” He smiled. [04:15 PM] Anjolie Criss ran to the doorway. She'd fist pump seeing him sitting there, "Yes! He must be deaf!" She tiptoed back to the kitchen area and tried to remember what's in a Shepard's pie, "Oh ... shepard can't be in it ... he said sans meat. Good thing for the Shepard." She'd laugh to herself over that one. "Katherine .. why couldn't you actually eat something once in awhile. Probably the only woman in London without a recipe book!" She thought over the ingredients again, "Screw it ... what could possibly be in the damn thing." She rummaged around and found some potatoes, butter, salt, pepper, and eggs. Then she found some carrots, an onion, and something else that looked like seasonings. She mixed them altogether well except the potatoes . Then she found a carrot, onion, tomato, and something that looked like herbs. One can only hope. She dumped everything into a pot and put it on the stove. Holding her hands over it and waving them around. 'Please cook ... " [04:19 PM] Mordechai Rumil Singollo sat there oblivious to what was going on in the kitchen area and gently he began to sing out a song. It was soft and smooth spoken from his soul this time, instead of his heart and while it would calm the listener’s ears it did not seek to seduce them, “I try to not get suckered in But it looks like it's happening again and again Over and over I stumble and fall I try to carry my head high I try to walk tall But there it is again My heart starts leaping It's thumping again and again Over and over again….” His deep sensual voice sung out smooth and gently filled with thick heady emotions. [04:19 PM] Anjolie Criss the food started to bubble and simmer, at first she smiled in relief but then it happened ... just as she placed the lid on the pot with a smile, the pot started to rumble, it actually started bouncing right there on the stove. With a poof, the lid blew up into the air and hit the ceiling. Anj's eyes went wide, "Oh shiiiiii" But she didn't have time to finish the sentence! The contents of the pot flew straight up and out all over the place! She turned to run but it was way too late. "Chai..." She would say as she entered the living room covered in exploded potato, carrots, onion, and of course sprinkled with that mixture of seasoning ... "I think we should go out to dinner." Race Class 101: Neko http://larps.net/lc/topic/race-class-101-neko#post-8728 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:19:17 +0000 Keighvin Silvansky Keighvin Silvansky 8728@http://larps.net/lc/ [02:01 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: Alright, think we have some that will show as we go. Welcome to Race Class 101, Neko. Meow! [02:02 PM] Seras Tearfall purs [02:03 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: So first of all, Neko's sound pretty easy to roleplay, right? Half cat and half human. The big issue that most people have is that they don't know how to make a background for a neko. I mean, where did a half cat person come from? To give some assistance to this issue we're going to go back into the base of the race. Does anyone know where the word Neko comes from--without googling it. *wink* [02:04 PM] Vincent Warrhol: japan ? [02:04 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: Bingo Vincent. [02:05 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: You see, Neko means "Cat" in Japanese. Catgirls in Japanese typiccaly started being called Nekomusume or Nekomimi. Now, has anyone ever heard of the word called Bakeneko? [02:06 PM] Seras Tearfall: no, I havent [02:06 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: Gamja? Vincent, Jin? [02:06 PM] Vincent Warrhol: not me [02:07 PM] JinMiyazaki Resident: I just got here [02:09 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: A bakenko is one of the most interesting folklores about cat people. It means "monster" cat. In Japenese folklore it is a cat with supernatural abilities akin to those of a fox or raccoon dog. A cat could become this in many ways--get to a certain age, be kept for a certain numbe of years, or be a certain size, or allowed to keep it's long tail. The tail forks in two creating a nekomata. The bakeneko will haunt any household and create ghostly fireballs, menace sleepers, walk on it's hind legs, change it's shape into a human..*waggles brows* [02:09 PM] Sis Pawpad is Offline [02:09 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: and even devour it's owners. Then take the owner's place while shapeshifting. The bakeneko- or evil cat spirit, is believed to be able to reanimate a body by jumping over it. [02:09 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: Doesn't sound all that cute and cuddly does it? [02:10 PM] JinMiyazaki Resident: Sounds like the perfect gift to someone you hate [02:10 PM] Seras Tearfall: lol [02:10 PM] Persephone Kelaino Plutonian's Soul: ((PersephoneKore Plutonian has entered the area.)) [02:10 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: Neko's as a rule do not have to be cute, cuddly furballs. [02:11 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: They can be quite the "monster" race. People forget about the really solid basis as a monster. [02:12 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: Monsterous cats have survived in society folklores for hundreds of years. Now, in roleplay, how could a cute cuddley furball human cat , a neko, be dangerous? [02:12 PM] Astrid Floresby: claws! [02:13 PM] JinMiyazaki Resident: Sharp teeth [02:13 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: Claws and sharp teeth. Excellent. Anything else? [02:13 PM] Seras Tearfall: people can underestimate them [02:13 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: Very nice. Most people autmatically go. "Oh it's nothing but a neko." [02:13 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: Other ways they can be dangerous? [02:13 PM] Astrid Floresby: behind the claws, they are driv en by both human emotions and animal instincts? [02:14 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: yep! Animal instincts in a largish humansized body. give it sharp teeth and claws and Make it intelligent. [02:15 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: So, can anyone else tell me..what are some things that Neko's can do that other races probably can't? [02:16 PM] Remington Carmicheal Steele III: ((Chaos Diavolo is In Character)) [02:16 PM] Seras Tearfall: ummm look adorable =^_^= [02:16 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: Beyond eat mice and love fish. *wink* Most cats are exceptionally limber. to me it makes perfect sense that a neko would be very limber, able to fit in places that some other races might not. [02:16 PM] Astrid Floresby: elfies are adorable~! *wiggles her button nose* [02:17 PM] Vincent Warrhol: maybe climb up a wall in darkness since they have hooked claws and you know, good eyesight in the dark.. they are very stealthy to me [02:17 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: What about quick? Have you ever seen a cat strike? They are supreme predators when they are hungery, annoyed, or mad. [02:17 PM] Astrid Floresby: ooooh [02:17 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: Very nice Vincent! [02:18 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: They have a prowess as well. *taps his nose* [02:18 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: most neko's do have an enhanced sense of smell. [02:18 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: As well as excellent hearing [02:18 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: Really most of their senses are quite keen. Taste, sense, smell. [02:19 PM] Keighvin Silvansky: What are some of the disadvantages that you might encounter being a neko? [02:20 PM] Seras Tearfall: hairballs? [02:20 PM] JinMiyazaki Resident: They can't swim or fly [02:20 PM] Vincent Warrhol: well how do most nekos feel about water, since theres that whole idea that cats dont like water [02:20 PM] Edenz Resident is Offline [02:20 PM] PersephoneKore Plutonian: possible laziness, damage by water and ...
