Welcome to Gaia! ::

@Cel: Alice should be inside leaning next to the door, just listening in and not eating breakfast. I won't be able to post properly without a bigger device than a phone, so if you post before I do, please make it known that she's there standing quietly with a body language that says she doesn't want others to notice she's there despite knowing Cel, Cae, and Aylin would be able to tell otherwise.

She'll probably eat a bunch of pancakes after the conversation's done. smile

I've done all I can do for now. It's just up to the rest of you to figure out who's doing what and when. Once we move past this next part then we can decide on when Aylin and Caelen are doing their Soul deal and when Mrs. Seren's Grandma is going to show up. I think we should consider the strong possibility that the girls are going to be moving into the manor house for a while and establishing their own places to stay. Life within the manor is going to be fun to play out when we move on to future days within the RP.

I think that's up to you. If DV sees Aureate again, there would be a reaction.

We need a BFAA!Brunak in this RP so you guys can see some Alice-Bru bickerings. XD

As a response to your quote earlier, how exactly would DV react to Aureate?

Well, after reading what everyone else had to say in response to Hydro's question, it looks to me like I can go ahead and have Cae suggest the wine cellar to Charm. You can get there through the kitchen, so we won't have far to go. Once I make the suggestion, Hydro can take over from there. Feel free to just manipulate Cae as necessary for your purposes with Charm. It's pretty simple. You don't have to make him speak, just go through the motions of guiding everyone to where they need to be.

I'll quickly shove Cel off to work, so she'll be out of the picture until evening. Then the fun beings. twisted

I think in my attempt to A. have Aylin be in on as much information as possible and B. try to come up with some way to respond to that monster of yours I went a little overboard and did too much. I'm nowhere ready to post, I don't think any of us who want to be there are, because I might need to change up the tone of Aylin's long winded ramble (What is it with me and making her spit out so much information lately) and possibly cut it down some. I do want her to prove to him that not everyone in Barton is ignorant to the greater problems outside the walls of the city/town and at the same time in classic Aylin fashion get her to talk her way into something that could end up having major consequences for her later on again (IE the "fake" wedding). At the moment she might be focusing on the wrong things now that I think about my initial reaction to that post because it sounds too confrontational now that I think about it and had a night to sleep on it. But at any rate Aylin does, and will still, think he's so desperate to wipe his hands of Charm that he's more than willing to send her to be in the service of the dark forces that she's willing to take full responsibility for Charm until they can pull Hydro from the darker influences. Man you made things hard to respond to because there's so much direct and secondary information to deal with that I know we all need to read it at least twice.

No need to be sorry, you just gave us so much we want to be careful with how we respond that it takes a couple read throughs before we can formulate the right reaction. Aylin can be quick to judge and react, which is why she will think that way and vow to be responsible for Charm until they can get Hydro back. I'm not sure if I should have her throw her royal credentials at him and for how long she's been training to use her ancestor's power or not as a way to get him to trust the broach didn't choose wrong or not. However, she is formulating a theory based on what Hydro had in her possession and what he's told them. Mostly though I do need to fix the tone of things quite a bit so it doesn't come off as her being rash, too quick to judge, and trying to make things about her.

Hydro and I are working on the final stage of the convo with Zeph. Everyone has a window of opportunity to talk with the guy before this, which gives up ample time to get our script hammered out. I'm looking at this final exchange as a sort of closure. For the sake of not spilling the beans on 'Hydro's character development, let's just say Cae and Zeph go a loooooong way back.



I just want to make sure I understood this clearly. Did Lorelei just go senshi mode in front of everyone? I need to know that I'm not misreading that bit so I'll know just how much to edit my first post for dinner.
