Viridian Plague OOC

Tralg as a language was likely a survival necessity. We could always go with the thunder and lightning as our tandem style. As for being friends, I don't remember how long we were in captivity (seemed like forever) but I would say we established a friendly relationship early on. The trusted friendship happened later and is a strong bond betweem them.

Sounds good to me...

Would M'ress have a good idea of Slagg's personality? What about Pleione as well?

If Pleione doesn't know the language I would assume she's a new find and one M'ress wouldn't really have a clue one.

Slagg is a simple mind. Think Incredible Hulk. He doesn't want to harm people if he doesn't have too but more often than not he doesn't get much of a choice in the matter. Survival, the Pits, misunderstanding with no real way to contemplate deep thoughts, and lack of communication makes him a watcher and not really a talker.

In this case he doesn't want to help cause they don't like him. He doesn't want to go to the camp cause then he might feel threatened, or honesty be threatened, and then bad stuff might happen.

Just trying to get a grip on our relationship.

Let me know if you need more. [/sblock]

Okay, I just didn't want to read something that wasn't meant for me.

Sorry, I’m not use to sblocking for players. I would assume anything in the IC thread is for you. 99% of the time I take OOC concerns to the OOC thread.

Oh, sure--Naturally. That's why I gave you a heads-up

[sblock=RA and BS]I think I understand Slagg a bit better.

M'ress was a healer before she got to the pits, and her adjustment was not without some difficulty. It would be plausible to think that if Slagg had been there first, he had protected her a bit. In time she became skilled, dangerous. Much of the time in the pits she was morose. She allowed herself to be beaten, but was quick to defend those in the stable who were picked on unnecessarily.

The need to escape may have come from overhearing plans for the gentle Pleione.

Anything you want to add or build on, change in any way?[/sblock]

Rescuing the nymph wouldn’t have been planned… Slagg doesn’t really think long term. (He lacks the capacity. )

Slagg being M’ress protector sounds like a great idea to me… Reminds me of a book (series) I just got done reading… Loved the character interaction. Of course the chick was the protector.

What does M’ress think of the nymph?

[sblock=RA and BS]As far as the plan, that would have been M'ress's (or someone elses that didn't make it - dead or captured). M'ress would have made certain that Slagg was coming along, heck she wanted him along.

M'ress would have liked the Nymph a lot. Probably because the nymph reminded her of what she once was before M'ress was hardened by the pits. It may have almost died in M'ress, but she wouldn't have wanted it to happen in someone else. The fact that Slagg seemed to care for her helped a lot.

What was the series?

got to get some sleep very very soon, probably will post IC before sleeping (and check GG to see if LS has posted)[/sblock]

It sure makes reading 3 pages of posts quick

Yup, and I like how it separates information. In some ways, it makes things a whole lot easier than in face to face gaming. For instance, in my Post Arthurian game, the Ranger has strange dreams on many nights. Now, I can SBLOCK them or e-mail them, and I don't have to disrupt the game by pulling him into another room

Too true, in the games I have run I just post to each character in un hidden posts and rely on the players to seperate out the stuff their characters dont know. This makes it easier for those players just to skim past it. Those who want the whole story and are capable of keeping that knowledge seperate can read, those who want to enjoy the onsided perspective can avoid the posts not addressed to them.

Well, in some sense, even the SBLOCK is trusting the players to only read the parts for them, but I find that it makes it easier to avoid reading sensitive information And then there are some things that just aren't fun if the other players know, like Doppleganger replacements and Domination by Vampires, to pick the two that have become cliche
