Okay, I had time so I decided to try to catch up with reading. Commentary ahoy!
Aha, back when I did not know about Alain's family. xD He only really has one other son, who is a) thirteen b) the shyest kid who exists and c) gay. Making him suitor would be too cruel. So Garrick really was the only choice, Woo help us.
can't let the Jades win by default. =P
Spoiler-free things about Round 3: Not much happens in terms of the plot, but a lot of really important relationships get established. It is really cool to see the beginnings of all of these. ^.^
Now vague spoiler comments, not just for the rounds so far but for the game. Nothing specific, but even so, read at your own risk:
It seems so obvious with hindsight, but the post where Ruth described her and Corinne(
Ginz ❤ ) going drinking is amazing when you know who Corinne is. xD Poor Ruth, you seem so optimistic have no idea...
It also amuses me that Lucinda had picked up Corinne and was taking her along, given that Corinne was recruited the very next round by yours truly. x3 Or rather, a character who
belongs allows himself to be written by yours truly.
Shinko Reading about Morgaine thinking about her husband's funeral (especially with hindsight) and comparing it to the farce at hand makes me feel bad about the whole thing. I'm sorry Morgie. ;_; If it's any consolation, you're still in the silly part of Medieval.
...And almost immediately after that, we have Aldrich's statues causing havoc at the cemetary. xDD Gosh,
Lizica , I have forgotten how awful and wonderful Babewyn was. Poor, poor Aldrich. xD;; Especially when Aines catches him. Though I doubt Aldrich has any hard feelings about this, it is still amusing to see this interaction, knowing their relationship after the game ends...
Gelquie :
Now I'm curious, did Claire ever 'ship Elin and Kelcey, or was she always firmly in the canon camp? ;3 (You might have answered this somewhere, but there is about three years of content to remember for Medieval, so remind me again. xD; )
Also, Elin and Ambrose meeting. \o/ *casually hangs up the Chekhov's gun*
Tiger , two things I want to comment on. One:
xDD Now I regret not having Alain challenge Everett in a sing-off (he says, amusing as it would have been, he would not have sung anyway, since the younger nobles were taking care of the musical accompaniment. Sadness.)
Also, now I am wondering, given how noisy and chaotic everything seemed to be, if Leif's senses were not giving him a hard time? Or if that was a part of his characterisation that had not been set in stone yet? Or was the noise level just not enough to set off his sensory difficulties?
Liou Seeing Laurie obsessing over Garrick in these early rounds is pretty amazing, given what happens later. I know you're not fond of the writing during this RP, but I love it. Laurie is so delightfully crazy, but I am also glad of the characterisation that happens later
not that I am biased or anything. Though would you have kept this up if Jay had not disappeared like he did?
Headcanon: That lame line was somehow influenced by Ilsa. xD (I know, narrator-post= looser characterisation, but lulz)
...Given what was learned later of game mechanics, it is frankly downright amazing luck that the Heir was found so quickly. Dang. xD Ranumgen was favouring the Shadows from the start.
Shinko , oops, I had totally forgotten about the Stallions keeping Morgaine up with their recruitment. xD; I can't remember if Alain apologises to her later or not, but if he does not...sorry.
PFA Oh gosh, Jen's parents and her being in jail is amazing with them being so overprotective. Poor Jeniver. xD; Also loving the struggle to not name them.
Kozma 's and
Lizica 's posts...*flashbacks to the "noisy pigeons debacle* For new readers, in our PM, Stallion had asked the Messenger to send the Alchemist a message, basically saying "so that we know who you are and can recruit you, mention "noisy pigeons" in your post". Well, we got two mentions of noisy pigeons from two separate people and had to flail about trying to figure out who was who. 8D;; It all ended very well, we got our Alchemist and some...wonderful information we ultimately did not do anything with, but still, learn from our fail.
Rosalie Dylas (Maddy) , aww Rosalie reacting to Joffrey (
PFA ) is seriously cute. <3 Rosalie in general is cute, but seeing her flustered over Joff is especially adorable. Looks like Joff picked the right person to serenade. Truly, he is the Ace of Hearts, hitting in just the right spot. Though forgetting Jen in her moment of distress to flirt with a pretty girl is...questionable, but definitely IC. xD
Liou Ah, yes, this was the round that introduced the awesomeness that was Demongoat. xD I had totally forgotten it's introduction though. Licking both Garrick
and Everett? Marvellous. And it apparently got to Ambrose too, and got him to run into Xavier. 8D Thanks, Demongoat! (Pretty sure me and
Elcie had planned to throw our woobs together, but I had forgotten I had also thrown Demongoat into the mix.)
Coaster ,
Pixie , even without knowing what comes later, that Kaldora and Ilaria collab was super heartwarming. It is nice to see them interact, and the seeds of what is to come are definitely there. :3
Avery Why do I get the feeling that Kelcey's "unimaginable anguish" has happened before so many times that his sisters and Elin just don't care by now and think he's being overly dramatic? xD
And oh gosh, his attempts to free Jen. Kelcey, honey...why are you like this? xD I say this in the best way possible, but you are a riduclous human. I love you. (Reading on a little further, and oh my goodness, I forgot he also got injured. Kelcey, how did you make it past the age of one?)
Alain: *smiles* No wonder I like Mrs. Braham.
Poor Everett though, he has enough to deal with without encountering Morgaine. xD Even though she was being entirely reasonable. *pats Ev* Don't be so short.
Killix ,
Tiger , ooh, the bonding over broken furniture. 83 Also loving Leif's "I must investigate the suspicious Stallion who caught my eye" attitude. Also, is it just me, or is Demongoat bringing together a lot of people?
Demongoat: avatar of RanumgenI just dropped this in casually, thinking it would help put Xavier at ease around Ambrose.
I had no idea... (Seriously, part of the enjoyment of the re-read for me is seeing stuff that became a much bigger thing later in the RP or expanded universe get dropped so casually.)
Liou I don't know why you are apologising for that dream sequence, it was wonderful. xD I do feel bad for laughing at Laurie, but you have written all this quite masterfully. But also, yay for Laurie meeting Rosie properly. \o/ More important relationships happening! Rosie is the least subtle flirter, by the way,
Rosalie Dylas (Maddy) . It's great.
PFA , is this where the idea of Dylan came from?
