Cloaked Mystery

@everyone

As I was saying before my post was rudely deleted…

I haven’t had worked on this at all in a while, but I’ve been thinking about it in the back of my head. I realized that I have very little attachment to the vague plot ideas I have so far, or most of the characters, which leaves the setting as basically the only thing I do care ab…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

I’m painfully aware. I’ll rewrite it later. *sigh*

@rae

Yeah, that sounds cool!

(Funnily enough I’ve been thinking about a somewhat similar RP idea, but I didn’t propose it because as it is other RPs are struggling along. (Not that I have a problem with starting a new one if other people want to.) Basically my idea was that we could have a world where a bunch of different parts of our own wor…[Read more]

@rae

Kate apparently didn’t understand the Queen’s last sentence

That’s because I didn’t either XD. Is she saying that it’s better to force them to fight than for her people to die? In that case, Kate simply wouldn’t agree anyway.

@rae @keilah-h @princesachronicle22 @beth-torres

Kate

“Very noble of you to force other people to risk their lives for you,” sneered Kate. “I’m not going to do what you say even if it means I never leave!” She turned and briskly walked out.

@rae @keilah-h @princesachronicle22 @beth-torres

Kate

Are you kidding me? Thought Kate.

The queen had pulled them all here to clean up her mess—as though Kate didn’t have enough problems of her own—and some people, at least the dragon, were going along with this?

“Look,” said Kate. “You’re not the only one with problems. …[Read more]

I’ll rank them if that’s helpful:

• Fantasy
• Sci-fi
• Historical fiction
• Contemporary

@esther-c

Sounds awesome! I can’t guarantee I’ll reliably have time to participate, but I will whenever I can!

@stephie

A book club does sound fun, but my schedule is too full for me to be able to reliably read, so I’m gonna sit this out. If you happen to read a book that I’ve already read, I might pop in here with some thoughts when you’re discussing, if that’s okay. Hope you all have a fun time with this!

@thearcaneaxiom

So, how exactly does discord’s streaming work? I’m honestly not sure if I would have time at this point. I’ve been pretty busy with school (which is why I haven’t been on KP much lately) and on top of that, I’m also training for my karate black belt test, which has been pretty time consuming. Things will probably be changing a lot…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Ah, great.

@keilah-h @princesachronicle22

We can continue here if anyone wants to.

@thearcaneaxiom

I just had an idea! Do you have discord? What if we streamed it on there?

Yeah, I do have discord. I don’t use it very much but I have it. You can stream things on discord?

Yeah, there’s a few, I could find one and we can revive it, or we can make a new one.

Sure. Probably better to reuse an old one, but it doesn’t matter too much.

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah, I think it’s important to remember that it’s never bad for a villain to be non sympathetic, it’s just all in the execution.

I would also say that it depends on the villain’s role. Sometimes you need a sympathetic villain for the story to work. But yeah, in and of themselves, a non-sympathetic villain isn’t a bad thing…[Read more]

@princesachronicle22

Yeah, I haven’t gotten far at all in any of mine either (I mean I’ve wrote and rewrote one of them like four times or so and scrapped each attempt, but aside from that…) so lack of well-developed villains hasn’t been a problem.

My main difficulty is giving villains good motivation. I definitely don’t want to end up with…[Read more]

@princesachronicle22

I’m kind of in the same boat when it comes to villains. I have relatively few that I would consider to “exist.” I can probably count them. I think five. Out of those, two are of the non-sympathetic, pure evil variety (and one is just the crony of the other), two are not very fleshed out, and the last is only moderately well…[Read more]

@princesachronicle22

Okay, idea. What if the villains are already in the castle, and meet the groups that way to start working with them?

I’m thinking it would be better to have them arrive in a separate scene, so that they can be briefed on what they’re supposed to do. (I also haven’t even decided on mine yet.)

@rae

Do you want to go next, since you technically own the Lillenings, and I would assume they have to show themselves now?

I haven’t seen you on here for a while, so if you’re busy don’t feel pressured.

@everyone

Yikes, it’s been a while since we’ve RPd. I’ve been pretty busy lately, so I haven’t had much time. I might be able to some time tomorrow. I think we should go ahead and have them go in.
