Fetch Quest

[Ceidon]

Got the summer blues? I know I do. I hate seeing Althanas so empty during the summer, so I've decided to do something about it.

Remember the quests of old where anyone could join at anytime to help advance the plot? Sometimes those quests would eclispe 200 posts! Well, I'm keen on starting one of those up to boost the daily post count this summer and I've already chosen the story: a fetch quest! You know how it goes. A group of adventurers meet in a tavern in Underwood, then a sketchy type hires the lot to find some lost or missing parcel. There are some twists, probably a dragon and possibly a little love. Eventually everyone finds their way and makes new friends/enemies for their future stories. Yes that.

So, I'm looking for at least four interested folks to get this started. Here's my requirements:

1) Regular posting
2) No more than 1-2 paragraphs of writing

After I get the four people, I'll start the thread. Once the thread is up it is open. Anyone can join for any duration if they want. Help or hinder the 'main' characters or even become a 'main' character yourself. I don't care as long as you're having fun.

Who's in?

CEIDON!
LIBERTINE!!
WILFRED!!!
ALLENNIA!!!!

[Libertine]

-waves-

Oh! Oh! Me! Me!

[Ceidon]

Libertine is in!

[Wilfred]

Woof?

*wags tail*

[conditional on character approval. Don't feel pressured to hold a spot open for me until it goes through, though :)]

[Ceidon]

Everyone gets approved eventually, you're in!

[Allennia]

*pulls up a chair, looking ravishing.

[Wilfred]

*licks balls*

[Ceidon]

Does that mean you're in, Allennia?!?

[Allennia]

If you'll have me?

[Ceidon]

Two chicks and a ball licking dog? Ceidon died and went to heaven. Of course you're in.

Now is there one more taker? Or several, don't think you can't participate if this fills.

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

Well, I'm 'oping to get back into the swing.

And two paragraphs per post is easy enough to manage.

If you'll 'ave me cutter, I'm in.

[Witchblade]

I'd definitely be interested with my alt account Lasair.

[Ceidon]

Yes, yes both are in. I will post tomorrow!

[Witchblade]

Sweet! Nice to see you finally doing some writing again. :P

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

... me, or Ceidon?

[Witchblade]

Ceidon, I don't even know you, Aur. lol

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

Touché.

But we all know you want to, luv. ;)

[Witchblade]

Please, I think it would be the other way around.

By the way, Cei, should we do a posting order to make things easier? Or we just going to wing it?

[Wilfred]

Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm keen to get something going. The original plan sounds good to me - just a couple of paragraphs per post, and regular contributions. Who's still in?

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

Holy shit!

A talking dog!

(Aye, I'm still in. Need to get back into posting regularly.)

[Allennia]

Post, and I shall post along with you ser.

[Witchblade]

Just waiting on Ceidon to start the darn thing. Which could be a while if he falls into his usual track record.

[Libertine]

Still here and waiting!~

[Ceidon]

Boo, my bad. Went to Atlantic City this weekend and was too busy gambling to post.

I'll aim for tonight.

[Witchblade]

Well who told you, you could go out and have fun? lol

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

Don't worry, luv, we'll flay him later; balls to brains.

But first, we need him to start the quest.

[Witchblade]

Can we flay him now?

*pouts*

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

At the risk of becoming a hypocrite, yes Witchy.

Yes we can.

[Ceidon]

I have been flayed :(

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

*eats the skin*

You can have it back in about 24 hours...

[Witchblade]

He only gets it back after he posts the intro, and even then he has to keep posting!

Otherwise the balls are next. He can't live without those. He'd lose all purpose in life.

[Krausus]

Hi hi hi hi. LET ME IN!

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

And I will eat those too. Wouldn't be the first time I've swallowed someone's yarbles.

[Witchblade]

That's all yours, I only chew on those parts when they're still attached to the body. ;)

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

Be still my black heart.

[Witchblade]

Next time I'm in Scotland, Aur. Next time. ;)

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

XD If you survive.

[Witchblade]

Either way, I'd probably die rather happy. Depending on if you're as good as you say.

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

Better. Modesty is my most becoming trait. :P

[Ashley]

Is this still open? I would love to join in.

[Ceidon]

Of course you can join.

But given my delay in posting and my flaying, I think I am going to change the posting order rules.

There are no longer any posting order rules! That way people can jump in/out as they please. If someone disappears for a week, they can just do a "mass-o" post to catch up with the action. Good deal? I think so.

[Wilfred]

Suits me fine. This is going to be quite a busy thread, all things told.

Excellent :)

[Krausus]

Fine with me.

[Witchblade]

I get the feeling with my 48+ hours a week work schedule I'll be falling behind rather often. XD

Oh well.

[Ceidon]

One week later, I have come through!

Here you go: http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?25580-Fetch-Quest

If someone wants to tell Gary's tale, go for it. If not, I will on my second post.

[Wilfred]

Excellent!

I started Gary's tale, but it remains very open for whoever wants to take over for the next bit.

[Ceidon]

Done, though I will wait for as many of you to get in a post as possible before I post again, as I plan on advancing the story.

[Witchblade]

and I posted! I think I was the last person you were waiting on

[Ceidon]

Waiting on Allennia, actually, as I sort of forced Ceidon into some interaction with her.

If she hasn't posted before tomorrow though I'll advance the story. Everyone keep playing poker or macking until then!

[Wilfred]

On it. Thought I'd wait for Allennia as well, but I suppose there isn't really a strict order.

[Ceidon]

Allennia was apparently having a Firefly/Serenity marathon this weekend instead of posting. I'll never understand the priorities of Brits...

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

Oi! I resent th--

Pfff, nah, we have some fucked up priorities. Buuuut... now I know who Allenia is. :P

[Krausus]

Ill post today. I had graduation Friday and graduation party Saturday and a f

[Wilfred]

Hey, congratulations on your graduation, Krausus :)

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

Bad dog!!

Puppies don't speak!!

[Wilfred]

*sigh*

Woof woof, bark bark, woof. Dickbag.

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

... I'll let the "dickbag" slide. ;)

[Wilfred]

*wags tail*

[Mordelain]

Jeesh, I bow out to dribble over Mal for a day after a hectic week above and beyond, and you turn on me.

Fuckers!

[Witchblade]

lmao!

You guys are all hilarious.

[Krausus]

Might be inactive for a bit due to college stuff

[Ceidon]

Sorry for the delay. I'll move the story along either tonight or tomorrow depending on my schedule.

[Wilfred]

A little worried the thread is going to just die off, soon. Ceidon, can you get a post up, please? Or if you're finding yourself short on time, is there anyone else who could oversee the thread (staff, or perhaps one of us)?

[Krausus]

Im fine with managing it. I was waiting for a new post. And this was supposed to be the OPPOSITE of inactivity.

[Aurelianus Drak'shal]

Otto, you're staff and one of us.

If Ceidon's schedule is preventing him from overseeing it, then you've got my vote cutter. (With Ceidon's approval, of course)

[Witchblade]

Pfft, like Tony would care. Almost everything he starts writing dies like this, and I had a feeling this thread would be no different.

It would probably be best if we just started managing it on our own, if we wait for him we'll all die of old age.

[Max Dirks]

Got a lady friend in town. I'll find time to post tonight or tomorrow. Keep your side plots going and I'll hone in on the main one myself.

[Krausus]

Posting tonight. Where do we wanna all meet up to get our objective to retrieve?
