If we do continue from that thread, I'd have to completely omit my cheesy opening scene xP (oh my gosh my dialogue!) - I don't think it's in character for Ashla to get a personal assassin like that, go about a year or so (I believe she was 19 at the time of that thread, she's 21 now) without forming some kind of bond. That, and Ashla doesn't "use" people like that :/ I could see her hiring him as just another member of P.A.L.E., she leaves the organization (Dirks stays) and it dies, then he looks for her again?
Don't rush, Yvonne. Only post when you're ready. :) So Donnalaich sounds good? How would our characters meet up?

Distraught from the war, Ashla spared Dirks' life (he was willing to give his head without a fight) on the condition he find and kill Tobias Stalt. After two years in Tular, he returns to her, believing he failed his mission. He knows nothing about the end of Pale or Ashla's transition. We go from there, perhaps ala Logan, though Dirks is only about 15 years older than Ashla, so there wouldn't be the father daughter dynamic, but perhaps brother sister? Someone to care for? Someone for her to betray to learn how far down the rabbit hole she's gone. Anything works for me, though it sounds like whatever we do will be gritty.
-
Sounds like an awesome plan! Although, since Ashla's relationship with Tobias wasn't exactly spiteful, she probably would have sent him after someone else. Making that someone a useless NPC should take no time though xD
At t this point Ashla knows how deep she is, but has no idea what to do or where to get started. She is currently in Scara Brae, one of the few places she isn't wanted for anything. Maybe since they're both wrecked with guilt and self-blame, Dirks makes a suggestion and they go with that? A sibling-like relationship sounds awesome for them!
Another point to add, I do think that the reason Ashla would spare Dirks in their first meeting was because she saw that he and Kyla had some sort of positive relationship, as he did protect her. That probably came back to her and she just sent him on a far off, likely to take a while mission instead?
-
How bout Madison or Lye? Ashla would want to kill them right? I only said Tobias because he and I started (but of course never finished) a cat and mouse end of an era thread. I'm not sure Dirks would have gone after anyone unless they were involved in the poisoning of Eiskalt, otherwise what would his loyalty (based on guilt) to Ashla be?
-
Ashla, do you want to plot anything for Stare and Fell or just see how it goes? At the moment Stare is wondering around Radasanth, slowly building up to the larger storyline that I have planned.
-
Sounds good, Dirks! :) Should we do flashbacks in the thread where they meet again, or do we use dialogue to explain?
Phi, maybe the characters are going to the bazaar or citadel and meet up? I don't know what kind of distinct plot we could make. Do you have any ideas? I know Fel would be fascinated with Stare, as she never saw her species before. xD
-
First thread is up. I'll get to the second one soon! I'm at a Fallout Boy concert at the moment, writing on the fly! Woohoo!
-
Awesome!
How large is the fly trap, specifically? I know the description says it's big, but is it like a Mario piranha plant or larger? I just want to make sure before writing my post. Thank you!
EDIT: I posted anyways. Let me know if anything needs changed. I though Felicity saving Yvonne would be too predictable, so I had her get tangled up and them both get saved by Yvonne's fae guide instead.
-
Yvonne, would you like me to post an opener with Vixen? I've got an idea in mind :)
-
Sure, let's see your idea. I'm curious now.
Awesome post Fel, the plant is big enough to get Yvonne in its gob, it might have needed to nibble Felicity down to size a bit first, haha. Wouldn't stop it from believing it could make a meal out of her though!
I also just wanna say I tried so hard not to use the word moisture in my setting and you went and blew it in the third paragraph, bwahaha. I knew it was coming.
