Friday 5/16 [One-Shot]

[Howl]

Hey guys! My ST rotation starts next week, so I'll be running a one-shot on Friday evening (the 16th.) This scene has a high probability of combat, so be prepared for violence and creepy things, but there will also be cuteness and the chance of character death is very low.

The scene will begin at 6pm site time, and I'm capping the player count at 4 in the interest of time and sanity. So if you're interested, sign up below.

[FYI: If you're arachnophobic, you may want to avoid this one.]

Also, just a note. I will be starting a new SL (more than likely) the following week. So ideally I'd like to keep the slots on this one-shot open for players/characters who are less likely to get involved in the SL. But anyone is still welcome to sign up - I'll just be using that as a guide if we go over the player cap. More info about the upcoming SL will be posted next week.

Well. Some humans totes want in on your SL, and will leave space in your one shot accordingly.

Howevs, if there remains space or opens a space last minute day of, I may desire to pounce upon it.

Some humans also want in on the SL, so ditto what Ix said! But hell yeah, arachnids!

I may have once had a professional costume maker create a masterpiece of a spider costume with many legs for me to wear at a children's theater production of Charlotte's Web. It was also a great way for this teacher's pet to wear full-on goth makeup all day at school and not get sent home. "It's for a play. Honest."

*soft spot for nature's little bug hunters*

I got to take part in the last SL, so I shall toss a Lucy at the oneshot!* Coincidentally I am arachnophobic but eh. Eh, I say, eh. A heads up is all I need and you have given one so all should be good =]


*but if like a spot opens in the SL I will totally hurl her in that direction as an alternate.

[Samael]

I echo Niko's thoughts exactly. Just substitute "Lena" for Lucy.

Oh, and I'm not archnophobic. Unless they're spiders in clown makeup.

[Damon]

Me! With Richard!

[mnemosyne]

I think I'm'a ask for a spot in the one-shot with Sera, as I don't believe I'll have the time / brain power to slip into a storyline in the next couple of months.

[Howl]

Alright, as of this moment the roster for Friday is as follows:

1: Richard
2: Sera
3: Lucy
4: Lena

And Kalen and/or Grace can swap in if space opens up.

Now, that said. I'm not totally ready to make a big SL announcement yet because plotting is still heavily underway, but in the interest of full disclosure, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to accommodate anyone who wants to be involved (I'll just end up splitting the characters into groups.) More likely it'll be scheduling that gets in the way, since I can only run evening scenes and that's not always convenient for everyone. Additionally, I also want to warn that it will be more of a TT-style adventure, in that it is very immersive and will involve travel away from Denver. There is a turning point in the story where, from that point onward, characters will not be able to interact with anyone outside the SL until the story is finished. So that's another potentially limiting factor. (On the plus side though, I'm setting it up so that players won't actually need me to be around in order to have fun in the setting, so at least you won't be stuck twiddling your thumbs while you wait for me to run the next scene.)

Anyway, I just figured I'd add that information in case it changes anyone's mind about potential SL involvement.

[Howl]

Alright, so! First of all, you guys did an excellent job at handling the insanity of talking foxes and giant spiders and staying up ridiculous-late. So a big thank you to everyone involved in the scene last night for your contributions and patience.

Now, I mentioned a follow-up scene. And this can be done a few different ways, depending on how everyone feels.

1) We can do another scene whenever we're all able to get together again. I'll be around tonight (probably a bit late-ish since I have dinner plans) and tomorrow evening, although I also sorely need to do scenes with both Alyssa and Grace for Ix's SL (which I may be able to condense into one if Alyssa lets Ian bring Grace along to their meeting.) After that, I will have next Friday free (5/23.)

2) We can do the scene on the forum, in which case we won't need to worry about scheduling.

3) If you guys are feeling more like you'd rather move on to other things, I can post a wrap-up epilogue on the forum explaining what happens after Henry and Red get back from dealing with the spiders.

So just let me know which option sounds best for you, and we can go from there.

Well, obviously I was not available today. It is tabletop day today, so...

I will also be mostly unavailable Tuesday.

Just about any other day though, I am on a 9-5ish work schedule, so whenever!
