Yvonne, I wrote an intro to ours.

Flamebird, I will get to ours today if I can.
See it, Yvonne! *Pop goes the leeeeeeeg!*
Take your time, Phi. No rush :)
*smirks* Should get a reaction outta Felicity this time, muahahaaa! I'd say it'd still be worth resting the ankle, even though Fel will want to boss her way through the pain. Have to find her a walking stick or her armpit is really going to mess up my hair... *pout*
Vix, I've had a good think about how to tackle our thread and I'd say I've got a handle on it now. I'll have a post up in a while. *smiles*
Replied! Felicity has a much tougher frame than normal humans, being half neanderthals. Even so, she is going to try to push her body past its limits. :P She wouldn't use Yvonne as a walking stick! xD
Lovely post, I wanna write but I'm at worrrk. NurrRR. *facepalm*
There's one for Vix, and...
*keeps writing*
...one for Fel. *goes to bed*
I see your post, Yvonne! Will try to post soon! Hey, I have an idea for up ahead.
Once they get into Donnalaich, they would see a member of the Claw Caste bullying a member of the Scale Caste. Yvonne could probably try ignoring it, or it gets to her? Yvonne seems like she'd be the more cautious of the two. I'm not sure how she'd respond. But Fel gets all rage modey and full out attacks the claw guy, tidbits of her backstory seeping through the dialogue ("Do you know how things work around here-" "-Do you think a care?! Where I came from, things worked through treating my kind like dirt!") Right before Felicity attacks him, she gets a PTSD trigger and dissociative snap that lasts long enough to let him use his claws on her. Felicity's power gets activated once, so the change isn't visible to magic paranoid Yvonne. The combined intrusive memory and Berserk Rage trigger could set Felicity off for hours. It could be an opening into them learning each other's backstories. - And the thread would probably get lotsa setting and wildcard points for LOOOOOOOOORE.
When we get to Donnalaich Felicity is starving (even Yvonne has an appetite by this point) because the food we found on the way took off on prancing legs as soon as it spotted us, into the thick foliage. We beeline for the humble marketplace to trade for something to eat.
The Claw Caste Drakari operates a modest butchery. They hunt game in the jungle and in the basin, bringing the carcasses back to Donnalaich to trade. He has only employed Drakari (and only those of the Scale Caste for that matter) as he believes they make for better hunters compared to the Fae. He finds it easiest to run his business by using their perceived racial status against them, to keep his employees in line. "Who has the claws around here? Me! Not you. You hunt the beasts! I butcher them."
There's one major flaw with his business model. His Scale Caste employees are scared of him. While we are bartering with one such employee for meat (and Yvonne has him settled on a fairly low price) the Claw yells at the Scale to get a better deal or he'll take it out of his pay. The threat startles the Scale and he knocks the carcass off the bench onto the ground at our feet, dirtying it. This incompetence infuriates the Claw so he attacks the Scale and Felicity steps up to intervene.
Yvonne consoles the Scale, reassures him and pays him well anyway (as dirt washes off with a little water and when we cook it we'll just make it well done) while simultaneously plotting the Claw's downfall. If Felicity doesn't deal with the Claw right then and there, Yvonne will finish him off later in a more subtle and undetectable way. *smirk*
It could very well be how Felicity and Yvonne get to know each other on that hidden, underlying level, concerning their pasts. We both feel compelled to help the less fortunate, second-class citizenry, and there seems to be plenty of that going on in this world, haha.
Sounds awesome! I have about several paragraphs of my response done, still need to write more.
EDIT: Posted!
Sorry Yvonne I did a really short reply but I have a big writer's block at the moment.
Flamebird, I am mid writing an intro for you that should work.
No rush, Phi :)
Lovely posts from both of you. You two must write at the same time of day 'cause you post thirty minutes apart, haha. Vix won the race, expect a post there first later today. *smiles*
By the way Vix, it's funny you think six-ish paragraphs is a short reply. I've roleplayed comfortably with peeps who struggled to post more than a paragraph or two on a good day. You're layin' down thrice that on a bad day and you're conscientious about length? *cackles* I like you. Amusing.
That's both done. Your move. :)
Replied.
I'm half-way through my half-breed post, haw haw. *kneeslap*
I'll finish it off tonight after the dreaded full-time work has elapsed.
*slays full-time work dragon* Hiiiii-YAAH! Take that! And that! Karate chop action! *dusts hands off*
There ye go, Ms. Rhyolite. Thank ya for waiting a few.
Super sorry, I have had to get an essay in so all my work has gone to that. I'll write some tomorrow.
*respectful curtsy* All is well Philomel.

!!I wrote something
For Flamebird
I see both your posts :)
I replied, Phi. Hope writing that Stare just entered was okay. Let me know if anything needs changing.
Yvonne, I'll reply you soon!
Oh look, I replied. Sorry to keep you waiting, Yvonne!
Haha, I loved the pun Vix! Give me a few and I'll have another post up. I'm most of the way through Fel's at the moment.
Oh take your time. As you can see it takes me a little longer to reply, so sorry for taking so long.
There you are Felicity. You can decide how accurate my aim was.
Oh!
Sorry! I haven't had much time to post. New job has been taking up a massive chunk of my day, and I'm exhausted when I get home! I should be able to post on Saturdays and maybe Sundays still.
I'll try reply, Yvonne! Nice post! I think it would be funny if the shot big cat landed on Felicity xD
"Weirdo." Ouch, Phi! Perfect way to bring out Felicity's hangry side > : ) Heh heh heh... Will try to get a post in.
EDIT: Replied both. Felicity gets the overreaction of the year award, Phi. xD Yvonne, I time skipped to the city and butchery. Don don dooooon!
Tell me about it. Work always gets in the way of writing.
I've found it's a good idea to have a writing app on my phone so I may write on my work break. I've usually got the bones of a post structured while sipping coffee at work and when I get home I'm half done. Copy across to PC, flesh it out with some fancy detail, boom. Much easier than writing a whole post from scratch at the end of the day, when you're tired and "don't wanna."
Ooh, time warp spell. You all-powerful sorceress, you. :rolleyes:
Did we ever finish our sandy battle?
You're it.
I have, like, five paragraphs done but not finished for both threads, Phi and Yvonne!
We never completed it, Duffy :/ It seems to have absolutely zero story so far, just our characters hitting each other. Have any ideas?
EDIT: Replied, Yvonne! Finally! Want me to add on more and have Felicity start talking (or screaming her head off) to the Claw Clan butcher? Or is the ending good?
The ending is too good, haha. Felicity is back with a bang, woo! Breaking tables no sooner than stepping into the shop, haha. I think it would be more powerful to let her simmer a little, explode next post possibly?
Great work dear, good ta have ye back.
Your post made me laugh! "Now go to your room and think about what you've done!" Lol! Love it!
You think the unhappy butcher would try to retaliate? Maybe he tries to manhandle Yvonne and Felicity intervenes?
I replied, Phi.
He could definitely do that. As convincing as Yvonne is, he's more powerful of course. That's why I'm letting you decide, haha. Flip a coin if ye like. However you want it to play out. =)
I will reply to both when I can.
Yvonne, I love Yvonne. :p
Aww, thank you. *hugs Philomel* I'm happy she's well received!
Your writing is incredible as per usual, Fel. I should admit I'm having minor difficulties transitioning from lovey dovey in Music and Stone to utterly enraged in Entanglement, haha.
A little time, I'll find the right zone.
Ah, there we are. >=)
Henry is a tease and not really lovey dovey, but what's this about Felicity being enraged? MADAM WE WERE WORKING ON THAT. He's also handling Yvonne's method a lot better than the last time someone came onto him, thankfully. Though I agree with Phi, she's a great character...butwhyisshetargetingHenry????
Is this Nevin? Nev has so many alts now...
On Igni, it is the blood alchemist's turn xD
I'll get to reading it, Yvonne. Expect an edited post soon :D
Allow me to explain it for the males in the room. Yvonne grew up surrounded by endlessly busy, cantankerous dwarves and their lofty dark elven whip-cracking superiors, yes?
Say she slams into nine men (drow/dwarves/whatever) not watching where she is going in her earlier life. Five of them abuse her immediately, physically or verbally, four of them grunt, annoyed, give her the cold shoulder and get back to work...
...and then she comes to the surface, bumps into a tenth and he just smiles brightly, suggests a peace offering, asks if she's okay and gets down on her level so she can redeem herself in his eyes.
*swoon* This one is different! He's nice. He doesn't treat her like something he'd rather not have stepped on.
Yvonne is all starry eyed. She can handle his teasing and give it back in kind!
Read the post!
Wow! Yvonne being an overprotective friend is awesome! Although I have no idea how to respond...
I'd bet that after the dissociative moment, Felicity wouldn't be functioning well. Like, she wouldn't talk or anything. So... Very little action would probably take place in my next post xD :P
It is indeed Nevin. And I'll work on a post for you shortly Ash, gotta work on getting back into the mindset for Nevin.
Ach, the males in the room now comprehend. Yvonne is adorable, and Henry certainly. Isn't one to treat pretty much anyone like trash, so she's going to have pleasant company with him.
I'm quite fond of that post too, hee hee. Yvonne's sinister side unveiled! I wouldn't expect much action for the rest of the thread dear, we had our orientation, complication/s and resolution. All's left to do is actually trade for some food with the now very nervous/very grateful assistant and feed Fel. Maybe a nice, quiet campfire setting of mending wounds to close curtains. :)
*giggles* Say bye-bye to pro-tips on attracting women 101 with Yvonne. The first one was a freebie but yer on yer own mister! Ye think her adorable now? Prepare yerself!
Replied, Yvonne! My setting is at an absolute zero, but internal dialogue is my strength, so... Yeah.
Nev, working on a response for you right now! Something really interesting you wrote:
This is exactly the way Ashla was a long time ago! And now she unmeangingly made Felicity the same way! Oh! The irony! I never even intended it this way but it happened and it's incredible! Loved the post! Nevin's classic hero moment with the whip rocked! I imagined symphonic metal in my head reading that xDQuote:
She would drive herself hard, trying to atone for a sin that wasn't hers, and he already knew that whoever was in a position of authority in her life, either didn't see, or didn't care - and from mumbled comments, he felt it might be the latter.
Hey, anyone want to do a thread with Hanuh? Because I'm great at keeping up with posts...
