OOC talk for Monster Academy.

[Godot]

Hmm, @JennyDK I'm glad you mentioned Julia to Hiro as Yoko in your recent reply in the assembly hall, but it actually reminded me of something.
Julia's "curious about humans" trait didn't really fulfill itself when she and Hiro met, at least that's the way I noticed it.
Is there more to that, am I missing something, or perhaps she's not "curious" as much as I expected?

[JennyDK]

She was, actually. She had found books about human culture and history. They spoke quite a lot about it, from what I recall.

[Godot]

Well, must be my bad memory then! Certainly hope to see more scenes between Hiro and your characters in the future. They're quite intriguing.

[JennyDK]

Thank you kindly!

You are free to suggest some when those you wish to do scenes w ith, are more free.

How do you like the event so far?

[Godot]

I like it! I managed to start tons of nice scenes with tons of great people! Honestly, makes me yearn for more, but I'll hold onto that greed for now. :v

[JennyDK]

Awesome. I am very happy with how it is turning out so far! There will definitely be more and different stuff happening in the future.

[Godot]

Yeah, I hope so. There's tons of other events that can happen, such as the academy traveling to a private island for a few days for summer fun, or maybe some sort of mountains in Asia where there's hot springs and such. I could imagine lots of really nice encounters there, some may be lewd, some may be romantic, some may be just overall good fun.

[JennyDK]

Having extra locations doesn't seem like a good idea, as pointed out by Icarian. It's best to keep things within the locations there.

[Godot]

That's a bummer. I'm not sure what that means, but is it possible to move threads to different sections? If so, then even if you do make extra locations, you can always just put them in some sort of archive section. It doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Besides, you can just make someone else manage all that, if you can't handle it! 

[JennyDK]

I just don't really think it's fitting at all. I have to agree fully with Icarian on that.

[Godot]

Your club, your rules!

Not sure what's not fitting about expanding the world of Monster Academy by making events that go to different places, but I'll respect every decision! ^^

[JennyDK]

I mostly stick to the K.I.S.S. principle as much as I can.

Sorry to stifle the ideas and possibilties though.

[JennyDK]

Hello there and good morning to you lovely folks!

I hope you are doing well so far?

[Icarian Dreams]

Sup Jen! Been a while since I woke up this early - aaaand will probably be heading right back to sleep. The daylight, it buuuurns~!

[JennyDK]

Greetings and salutions @Icarian Dreams. I hope you are doing well otherwise!

Sleep tight, unless you decide to stay in the land of the awake

[Icarian Dreams]

Hey, @JennyDK, could you maybe cut out the part with Mary hitting Julie with the tranquilizer dart from your post? Feels to me like a bit too quick deescalation of the situation, especially since now I'd have to have Victor react on the presumption that the shot connects, which cheapens the tension (not to mention you're taking away player agency by that).

[JennyDK]

I understand what you are saying, but that is literally what she would do and the mermaid literally is attacking someone. I don't see how this would NOT be the result. Should an expert marksman miss?

What do you think the alternative would be?

Even if, you still ought to leave that up to the other player to decide. That's literally Roleplaying 101.

But, to address your point, keep in mind that she's shooting in the middle of a raging storm, with most likely rather light flechettes, into what's also most likely a cluster of at least two people fighting. You can write "expert marksman" on your sheet all you want, but that's still a near-impossible shot, no matter how much training you have.

If anything I'd imagine someone actually trained with a weapon would likely not take that shot at all and not risk friendly fire, but then I'm not exactly an expert on that, so take that as a presumption rather than a statement.

The alternative is literally what I said. Cut the segment off, and let the other players decide how the scene turns out.

[JennyDK]

I will try and take a second look at it.

[Icarian Dreams]

Appreciated.

[JennyDK]

Of course, I do wish to be fair and nice. We can all make mistakes or bad calls.

[Thatannoyinggod]

Guten Morgen everyone ^~^ *crawls out from the pillow and blanket cave groggily*

[JennyDK]

Greeting and saluations to you

Sadly, I won't be around too much longer as I get company in less than an hour. Of course, I will return once I am just myself again.

I hope you are doing well?

[Thatannoyinggod]

No problem! Have fun! We'll hold the fort here.

And I'm doing well enough ^^ all woke up and about to leave for work

[SilverGirl20]

I'm really excited about the rp at the moment. I hope the trankes miss though because I think I mentioned a few posts back that she wouldn't survive them because she is so close to death. She cant controls her powers at the moment and can only summon a storm when she thinks she will die.
