Yttermayn's Infractus Experiment OOC (recruiting closed)

[Voda Vosa]

I see, I'll try my best.

 

[Scott DeWar]

visualizing the scene in all it's glorious details,

is that glorious or goriest?

and byt he way, a reminder:

Voda Vosa speaks Spanish as a first language and is still learning english.

 

[Yttermayn]

I understand. He's a creative fellow, he'll do fine. I'm not judging on grammer or spelling or technical stuff like that. I'm looking for creativity, thoroughness (how well thought out), and overall effort. You guys all have demonstrated those qualities before, I'm just trying to draw them out more.

I like how this works out- periodically, I'm going to give each character a set-up, kind of like an encounter, that gives the player an opportunity to blow us all away with excellent prose and in return earn a bigger xp reward than normal. Of course, any post that goes above and beyond will get xp also, but this set-up is a 'moment to shine'. I'll try to make each set-up suited to the character and as I get to understand them better, I'll hopefully be able to make the set-ups better too. Phil, being a homeless guy surviving on his street smarts and toughness, has a set-up to try to get something for nothing. Jorge has a set-up for using his (faltering)faith and wisdom to try to understand what has happened to him and what it means. I'm gonna go see if I can't get Billy's story thread moving again now. Looking back, I realize I already did a set-up for him, which he responded to well, so, xp for him!

Yay me!!! (I just hope I can re-capture the "magic" of Ol' Billy now that I'm a week or two out of practice.....)

When last we left Billy Saturn, he was saying to his intern, Tommy, "Don't sweat it, Tommy, there's more going on around this sorry place than you can possibly imagine. You're 'under my wing,' as it were, and you'll soon learn that this is a secure and comfortable place to be. As far as the SM goes, pay that limp-wristed f*** no heed whatsoever. Year before last, I was working the overnight shift and caught him indulging his freakish prediliction on the desk of his office with a black man. I was wondering why he was even here so late at night. Turns out that his habit is to occasionally sneak out of the house while his wife sleeps to meet his paramour. One thing I did learn that night is that the conventional wisdom about the endowment of black men is NOT necessarily true!"

First of all: My computer is fixed!

Second of all, I just wanted to make it known on his behalf that he may not always comprehend what others may be saying, but also, that he has greatly excelled in his learning one of the hardest languages to learn!

 

[Scott DeWar]

. . . that gives the player an opportunity to blow us all away with excellent prose . . . .

Is this what you were looking for?

 

[Yttermayn]

Yes, nicely done, Scott! Eep for you! I see this scene as being two men both suffering from survivors guilt and some serious PTSD. I suggest you read the short article in the link- inability to recall parts of the event are one of several symptoms these two struggle with. In case you haven't completely figured it out, Jorge and the old man (Does he have a name yet?) experienced the village slaughter together from slightly different perspectives and they have both come to the US some time after. I'm going to need some help from with with the backstory a little for how and why they are in 'Chucksville' Usa. (Chucksville is not the real name. I don't know what it is yet, but it is a larger town, not big enough to be a city, surrounded by rural areas that include both farmland and mountains, with a river running through it. Pop: @ 20,000 for now.)

Hmmm, a name? Father Arentson, accented due to his norwiegen homeland/birthplace. A Jesuit(?) with a full doctoctorship. Genral practitioner.

Saved from possible death by some sofar unforseen benafactor with a stron religeose belef and saw to their safety through some sort of strong politacal connections

this could be some american who wass seent to hunt down the drug cartel that slaughtered the village

or this could be the 'security officer' with in the ranks of the drug cartel responsible for the slaughter of the village, or

evben a powerful member in the columbian goveernment with strong ties to the supernatral and fears priests!

lots of permutations possible and to the who/how. Whey a small town/ this could ber where the vatican has sent them after hearing what had happened. they could very well have been sent to the vatican and with both of them being phisically and or mentally damaged, the cardnal has sent them to his own home town, to let them heal.

little die he know that their past would find them...

Just a reminder to our friendly neighborhood DM that there's a question pending...
