[QUOTE="jkason, post: 5836732, member: 2710"] [sblock=ooc]There's nothing to be done about the AFK situation, but as to the remaining characters, I think probably the only suggestion I have is to play the frustration a bit, though with the caveat that everyone realize it IS play. My thoughts: From what I'm gathering, SS21 conceives of Ausk as a taciturn sort. Looking at his background, I can see why: the character has been a slave and and outsider and now contends with 'voices' from his oracular nature. It's a perfectly valid personality, though it does present challenges in terms of inter-character interaction. However, I'm not sure if Tyrien has spent a lot of time trying to coax Ausk out of his shell. While he's clearly not the sort to insert himself into most conversations, and probably doesn't even consider that general comments to the group might be something for him to respond to, that doesn't mean an especially boistrous archer might not manage to convince him to engage more. Kalgor and Tyrien seem to be kind of built to be at odds. He's a naturally-secretive (he disguises his eidolon by default, after all), down-to-business sort from what I've seen. She's a bouncy, talkative naif. What they have in common is that both of them seem dead certain that theirs is the proper strategy for interacting with the world. From what I've seen, Tyrien seems to be just as dismissive of Kalgor's differing opinions on the 'right way' to do things as he is of hers. She's just more bubbly about it. As a gruff character, Kalgor would naturally be inclined to disengage from conflict. Does that put more weight on Tyrien to try to bridge the conflict? Perhaps, but then that's sort of the case with most social character types (which is different than a social class, as here I'm referencing personality types, not skill sets), of which Tyrien seems to be one. In other words, Kalgor and Tyrien are both being stubborn, but since Tyrien's the one who's interested in talking to folk, it might need to be Tyrien who acknowledges the conflict to work through and holds out an olive branch. For now, though, I'd actually expect both Kalgor and Ausk to have at least some input, whether blind acceptance or further questions to get as much detail as possible before heading off. They [i]were[/i] just told there's something out there that can apparently swallow buildings from below; one assumes that might result in at least some mild concern and / or curiosity. ;) So, I'll hold a bit to give them a chance to ask / say whatever they wish.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
