planning Crossing Paths (a learning RP)

[Adente 1,000]

I have absolutely no experience with RP, besides having joined one, (and not having heard anything from that RP thread in several days) so I think this would be a wonderful idea! If you guys ever get an opening, could you please let me know? I'd love to drop in. Thanks!

[glacialchill 17]

Actually Windrunner, one of us had to drop out already. Put up a link to the OC that you are using, and I'll see how I can fit you in.

 

I am tempted to just say what Gale is, but... I hate to ruin a surprise. XD

 

@, While it isn't technically bad grammar to repeat words, it makes it a bit odd to read, almost like you are walking in circles. that's easily fixed using synonyms, though. like... instead of saying got his cider, sipped his cider, finished his cider, maybe say... got his cider,dipped his drink, finished his mug. Just makes it flow better, I think. XD

@@glacialchill,

 

Yea i see your point. I do tend on repeating myself, I'll try to work on this in. Plus I've never really learned the correct way to RP so if i seem to be messing just let me know.

[glacialchill 17]

That's what we're here for, hm? If I seem to step out of line, don't be afraid to tell me I'm wrong either.

 

@, nevermind, I derped. I see the OC link in your signature now. Let me check it out and see what's going down.

 

edit: Your OC looks good! no problems, but I can't think of any particular reason he'd be at the fair other that just...  being there. If you have any ideas about how you can get yourself a role in the fair, tell me and I'll see how it works.

I didn't have a reason to be there, but I'm there now aren't I? Everypony will find an excuse to have fun.

[Senor Citizen 516]

I need some social interaction. Maybe one of you nice ponies happens to look up or something?

[glacialchill 17]

Perhaps... I was expecting Judith to catch onto you, but you do have Dusk following you... maybe you could try to appraise the watch and let Dusk have a good look at it.

[Brain Drain 93]

Or you can change into batman and go fight some crime. But in all seriousness you could let Judith find you or something.

[Senor Citizen 516]

@@glacialchill, Who's Judith? And I already appraised the watch. I am appraising it right now.

@, It's not Batman, it's Baman.

[glacialchill 17]

I mean like... get another pony to give you a better idea of its value. There are a few jewlers in the Fair. And judith is symphonia's OC.

[Senor Citizen 516]

@@glacialchill, he isn't going to sell it. He just loves watches. He's never caught wearing less than 2. But I see your point...

[TBB Symphonia 39]

No offense but I would rather not interact with Standoff yet in the story, since i'm stalking three ponies already. Isn't standoff supposed to be a bodyguard? Running around on rooftops with a watch doesn't show that. Whomever he is guarding hasn't been established yet either. 

[glacialchill 17]

oh, my bad... I just kinda made it that way without reading your post first. Sorry! Should we push on anyways?

 

oh, and Standoff just kinda ditched the pony he was guarding... didn't he?

Edited April 6, 2013 by glacialchill

[Senor Citizen 516]

I really, really love being a free agent. Yes, I dumped the pony I was possibly going to guard. Prollem?

[TBB Symphonia 39]

What exactly is the thing that slaps a hoof onto the table? Do you want my oc to take care of it, or are you going to see if the group at the table can fend for themselves? If I were to take care of it, how would you like me to do it?

 

No problem Baman I was just really confused about your oc.

[Brain Drain 93]

@@TBB Symphonia, @,

 

If you two get in a fight and you pull that watch out you'll have a new fight to deal with. It will be a giant battle.

 

Plus I lost track off standoff I'm most likely going to make my way to the meeting place

[glacialchill 17]

Yeah, the hoof on the table was supposed to be Standoff. But think about this Symphonia, now is the perfect chance to get involved with the suspicious ponies without them getting suspicious of you!!

[Love*Potion 575]

Hay guys!

 

I just need some clarification on what's going on- I know that a pony jumped on our table, apparently running from another pony, but who is who? Why are they running from each other? Wouldn't it make more sense for a secret agent to be... secret? If they are highly trained, and the ponys don't know each others true ID, wouldn't it be much simpler to just talk?

 

Just wondering. If anypony can tell me what's going on that would be fabulous

 

Oh and by the way- sorry for the black and white posts, I've been on vacation the past few days and typing on my phone takes FOREVER.

[Senor Citizen 516]

@@Love*Potion, well, take a seat, cause this'll be awhile.

Standoff isn't a secret agent, he's better described as a gun-for-hire, but he does all the "wetwork" you can think of. I had him running away from the guard because the guard recognized him, probably from one of his jobs in the past. And by the way, @@LeJAKoJAK, I think it's bad form to knock a pony off a table when he's not on the table, and is in fact halfway down the street.

Okay thanks that helps with your character- but who is the guard chasing Standoff? Is it Judith or just a random guard. And who's watch are you wearing?

I kinda can't do this since Witch Doctor noticed to me watching you three at the table, which I don't understand. I was taking mental notes not quille and paper. I feel like he should redo that post since it is a continuity error. Baman I'm really confused where exactly is baman, down the street running away, or still near the table. 

 

What do?

 

Another thing why would he just randomly bump into me, and y would I run after him, wouldn't that blow my cover of stalking you 3. I still don't get the pony that goes up and talks to Judith, wouldn't that blow my cover as well since were all in close proximity. We would be able to here him ask about me stalking you a;;.

 

This really isn't making any sense no matter how you look at it. We should be more prepared for future reference.

[Brain Drain 93]

@@TBB Symphonia,

 

Dusk knows when someone is taking notes on a person even if it's mental. Plus you can tell when people are taking notes on someone even without quill and paper.

[Senor Citizen 516]

I didn't bump into Symphonia, I ran into a guard I put there in order to feel like I did something.

[glacialchill 17]

I feel a rewind is in order... from reading Baman's post, I had assumed he had stayed on the table. Reading his OOc post, I had assumed he had kept running. And then the table was pulled out from under him, and we have two versions of reality... I say rewind to when Standoff's hoof hit the table, and get a bit of clarification whether he kept going or not.

 

thoughts?

That's what I thought as well. It seemed to me from the end of Baman's post, and Gales post, that Standoff was still on the table. If the rewind is needed, than I'm good for it.
