Cloaked Mystery

So who will the training parters? We could keep Ellis working with Ottoline. Who gets Kaine, the NPC? Must importantly…who gets Zahlin???

@highscribeofaetherium

When should Vethe show up and crash the party? I’m fine if they run into her on the way to fight some dragons or she can run into the scouts or something, I don’t care.

Probably when their already on their way. I don’t know how far she is from them, but the odds of her finding them so quickly would be low.

@rae

Yeah, no problem. It mainly is important for the scouting group.

Ellis

”You wanted us to train your people to fight,” Ellis began. “But that’s way more than we can manage in two weeks, even if we had Nahim and Zahlin to help. There are six of us who are trained to fight, and six who aren’t, so I suggest we pair up and train that way. It w…[Read more]

@keilah-h

I’ll be gone for the next few hours, but I will next time I’m on.

I guess I’ll just do this:

@rae

If you get back and write our transition to the next scene, tag @keilah-h

@trailblazer @keilah-h

@rae usually transitions us, but she posted a status update saying she won’t be back until 4:00 – 4:30 CST. (Oh, wait, that’s 1 – 31 minutes from now.) Somebody else could probably do it though.

@savannah_grace2009 @thearcaneaxiom

The short stories seem to be dated monthly (the most recent one was published this month, November), the previous one, October, so I’m guessing that they publish one a month.

@trailblazer

That’s funny, I was literally just suggesting we move on too!

@everyone @savannah_grace2009 @rae @highscribeofaetherium @acancello @keilah-h @esther-c @trailblazer

Is everyone ready to move on to a new scene? (We only have one scene with four characters happening right now, and it seems to be going nowhere.)

I don’t know what the next scene would be. Should we have it be evening and they regroup in the…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Interesting, I do think that would make more sense, but that also makes the 12 far more arbitrary, though once again, you could put it up to some form of fancy

I’m not too concerned about being arbitrary, but maybe I should be more. I mean, I have a planet whose culture resembles medieval Europe. That would probably be way less l…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

I haven’t even read the second one yet. 😅

@thearcaneaxiom

So question about the 12 note scale. Someone could make beautiful music out of a 13 note scale, and it could also be analyzed the same, but will it suddenly have no magical effects?

Good question. I didn’t think about that. I’m going to say that it probably would work as well, because I’m thinking that the magic will be based more…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 @highscribeofaetherium

😑

Does anyone want to continue the scouting group scene, or should we just fast forward a bit?

@highscribeofaetherium

Yes, we are.

@highscribeofaetherium

Nope. Nope. We’re done.

XD

@savannah_grave2009 @rae @trailblazer @highscribeofaetherium

Now perhaps we should get back to the actual purpose of this RP? 🤨

@highscribeofaetherium

I never said it had been that long since I saw a cat, but that’s the last time I’ve been near one. I can’t even remember how long ago that was though.

@trailblazer

Some families just aren’t pet people.

The same uncle that showed Piper to us owns a fish tank, and at this point he’s just waiting for the one or two remaining fish to die so he can get rid of the tank, lol.

@savannah_grace2009 @rae

If we’re talking about pet origin stories:

Piper

Our uncle saw that some people were giving away a 2-3 month old rabbit, and sent it to our parents (half jokingly I think.) We decided to get her.

We’ve had Piper for eight years. She’s all black, except her nose and the tip of one paw, which are white. She likes it wh…[Read more]

Music as a hard magic system is probably gonna be difficult, as what makes music magical to us is the feeling that it can’t be perfectly quantified

I think that the way music works is actually less ephemeral than non-music theory people think. The reason why music affects us the way it does is still mysterious, but the mechanics by which it do…[Read more]
