For the Grail: Out of Character Chat

[June Scarlet]

Kyn Your turn!

Wanted to move the non-fairy-dragon-fighting-party along, but wasn't quite sure how. So I left a cliffhanger!

[Kyn]

Liou , your turn!

Left it vague as to whether Kay's request to solo the dragon was accepted or not; we'll find out next round. Either way he's determined to achieve victory *_*

While I was looking up images of firefly wings re: Cerys's visual recreation of the Faerie Dragon in Moni's post, I came across this:

SPOILER: Click to show

Rhyothemis fuliginosa, commonly known as the butterfly dragonfly

Can the actual Faerie Dragon's wings turn out to resemble this beauty's? 😍

[Liou]

Thorn I cheaaated ;u; I rerolled my prompt. I also got the Who saved your life and well yeah that's a great question but how would I know
halp, who of your characters has saved mine's life xD;

It's quite an exercise to start from a prompt and fit the result into the scene!

[Kyn]

Love how the spiders have their own distinct personality XD

So updated list of locations for the knights:

Fairy Island Crew
Cael
Kay
Fer
Gwyne
Reel (physically)

Clover Field Crew
Thomas
Percy
Genji
Arthur
Reel (mentally, via spider hive mind)

Related to this, there's a gameplay change I've been wanting to propose.

Instead of PCs having only one activity option during a normal turn — answering a prompt drawn at random — what if they had the option to perform any one of the following activities:

1) draw a random prompt
2) choose a prompt to answer
3) forego prompts altogether and respond directly to another PC's post

Do you guys think this would be a good idea? Any alternative suggestions?

[Thorn]

I'd be down, I think that works really well for this particular format. The prompts work in person, where you're bouncing off other people, but it does feel like our game would benefit from being able to bounce off each other more.

I do think the round end should still be a prompt though- when the round ends, something dramatic happens, setting us up for the next round.

[Thorn]

Oh no! Only just realised I'm after Liou. I'll get to writing on my next day off!

[Thorn]

Adopting Kyn's idea and writing a response without a prompt.

Cael did not respond to Fer for the very simple reason that he isn't a king, and in his panic failed to register she was speaking to him. =P

Anyway! Next up: Celestial

[Kyn]

*shakes with excitement*

Can we assume that the dragon did not immediately appear after Cael's speech and that there was time for the knights to make final decisions/preparations? And that the battle is taking place on the same shore they first arrived at?

[Thorn]

I had thrown in the dragon to get things moving: however, it's ambiguous how long a gap there was between Cael speaking and the dragon arriving, so feel free to make some preparations/final decisions for sure!

[Thorn]

Hey Celestial! Did you forget it's your turn?

No, I have not. Sorry, been dealing with a lot lately. I will try to post tomorrow!

[Celestial]
