Trials of Khordom: The Beginning

[Aldrea945]

His rushing in like that could be to warn the school of an attack.  Kick start the RP.    We get to be creative, figure our way out...

[Kitane Blackfyre]

^Thank you

[kivabunny]

i'm glad you have a plan, but if it is story based plan, we would kinda like to hear it, i'm ok with the idea of the "under attack" thing, but why would you come to the school?
sudden transitions are cool and all but it irritated me extremely because you decided to tell anyone that you were changing the plot, not only that but i was right in the middle of a conversation


you don't change plot in major ways without telling people, it screws with character interaction and the "plan" you may have for the plot may void any "plan" anyone had for their character


be considerate enough to warn people next time, if there is a next time


~minirant over~

[Kitane Blackfyre]

Lol, sorry. I fell out of the rp for a while, because I forgot about it completely. But yes, apologies if I did ruin anyone's plans for their character. If anyone's mad at me, then my bad. Though, that was kinda my plan instead of having him just lay there for a while.

[kivabunny]

you could have just come in and sat at the lunch table y'know

[Kitane Blackfyre]

Well, I like a dramatical entrance c:

[kivabunny]

bit over the top

[Kitane Blackfyre]

Eh, sorry. If I get an idea, I have to put it into play, and I really wanted to get back into this rp ^^

[Aldrea945]

You know, the dramatic entrance begs the question of why he went to the Cafeteria, what he wanted to acheive, etc.  Kiva has a point.  We don't know what you have in mind, why, what relation this has on the plot, et cetera.  Mind explaining?

Personally, (I'm not religious so this may effect my opinion) if there are people getting thrown/dropped/etc from whatever Heaven or Hell there happens to be, It begs the question of if this has happened before.  If so, maybe such an event sparked the people in the roleplay to build a city with no way in or out to protect people from a possibly still raging war.  If it hasn't, we haven't given many people reactions.  Maybe the characters are only visible to certain people?

It also begs the question of why the police were never called.  Strange people from the sky?  Not the greatest idea in an enclosed city.  It wouldn't matter what the people that fell from the sky said, they'd either be taken away or killed.  Human nature says that we must protect ourselves from danger.

If it's the war idea or something similar, maybe the nine tolls were set in place to warn of the past coming back to haunt us.

There's a lot I've been hoping you guys would explain.  Could you?  I think we need the ideas explained to understand what the do.  Otherwise, I can't say I'll be ABLE to respond personally.

a- no one has reacted to me because while they see me as what i am, they do not know what i am
b- i have not gotten to the part where i planned to flood the school with cops examining a crater
c- in my mind everyone is just to assume me to be a new kid, who's to say it isn't a really really big town and i moved from another part of it, there were not really too many around when i appeared...i think i almost hit a teacher, but he ran away, for all he knows it was a meteor
as for language...that is a secret i will save for a little later

[Aldrea945]

Uh, Kiva?  That answer you put for A just makes it MORE unlikely that they've yet to react.  There's a reason non-reactions to weird stuff is a humor trope: It, quite simply, DOESN'T HAPPEN.  If I came up to you with a second head, tail, alligator body, and feet made of plates, you'd ask what the hell is up with me, right?  It's no different here.  Not knowing what something is or why it's there creates fear and curiosity.  Fear means you'll tell someone about said thing.  Curiosity means they would ask about it.

Trainwreck Syndrome is the PRIME example of this.

[Kitane Blackfyre]

Just because I do something different from the rest doesn't mean it should stop anyone from posting in the rp. Sure, it may have been sudden, I get that. But ya don't gotta get on my case about it. Why can't we enjoy a twist in the rp every once in a while? If I have an idea, I will post it here from now on and ruin the surprise. So please, let's just get on with it.

nonononono
you don't understand, they see me, but people have so pretty questionable appearances here anyway, when weird is the norm, it blends in, when i said they don't know what i am, i mean they don't know what i REALLY  am aka, they think i'm from earth, not a forsaken child of the  unholy and holy realms


anyway have you SEEN  how long it takes cops to respond in some areas?

Hikari, you dropped a "Twist' on us without context, warning, or relation to existing events. Your character rushes into the school cafeteria, collapses, and you expect everyone to drop into place without ANY idea of what's going ON.  Next two posts?  Forgotten entirely, save for Kiva bringing it back up.  There is no follow up, no explanation.  I don't want to overstep my boundaries into modding, but this is a MASSIVE problem in the RP.  In Kiss of Death, I had dropped things in, but explained what happened and why, particularly when asked.  This... not so much.

Considering Kiva's character is supposed to be a fallen angel, I have to accept that things get weird.  It's part of a roleplay to have fun with senarios and aspects.  But you have to tell us WHY and HOW.  You act like the "Twist" would be ruined by having people know what's going on.  Plot TWISTS are twists because there is surprise, yes, but to the characters, not the RPers themselves, not on this large a scale.  As another point, Twists are when something has been built up carefully and one would expect it to go one way, but it suddenly shows itself as something else.  Plot POINTS define a story and are massive events, like being attacked.  Darth Vader as Luke's father was a twist because it played with our beliefs of what was true and false.  Luke going to Yoda was a point because we were being introduced to a turning point in the story.

And to Kiva, eh, I'll give you the cop thing, but it's still been several hours.  In an area with a LOT of kids.  Why would it take that quite so long?

Please try to get along. Drama is not something for the RP OOC boards and should be moved to PMs if it absolutely has to take place. I have been watching this develop and reading the RP as it is written. Take in mind that plasma (or "lightning plasma" as Hikari called it meaning the 4th state of matter when it becomes supercharged and is in equilibrium with its ions) burns at several thousand degrees celcius and would actually kill people in the room just on heat. Also note that radically changing things in RP without explanation and proper post lengths (three to four lines of text as described here) is very hard on your fellow RPers.

Just recently there was an argument over the aforementioned plasma in RP and entirely in OOC. This should not happen and the only reason I didn't moderate it was because I gave the benefit of the doubt to you two and let you handle it. I was going to give you one more post before I moderated it and sent you here. Now that the argument (or at least the argumentative mentality) has spread here, I feel that I have to step in.

I am not moderating this thread where I am handing out percentage points, but I would like the arguing to stop. Also please note that there are several things story-wise that make little sense. I feel, after reading the RP and the OOC and having done so since its creation, that Aldrea's confusion is well founded. Move the conversation to PM if you must but please try to settle this in a calm and well mannered way.
