The King's Players - Discussion/Planning Thread

[Anguirel]

seconding Formendacil here, I fancy starting Day 3 ASAP, but perhaps that's the werewolf in me...

EDIT: Oh Coldan, you are sooo a Variag...

[Mnemosyne]

So do I, and we very well might jump to Day 3. We can always flashback any Brinn conferences if necessary. That's the only thing that's holding us up now, isn't it?

Thoughts?

[Pitchwife]

Thirded, but as I've been anything but innocent as far as cluttering the Day with complications goes, I shouldn't be complaining. (And to think we set out with the goal to complete this in two weeks RL-time! But as Mnemo reminded me, this is nothing compared to RPGs farther up north, where Days are rumoured to last half a year...)

X-ed with the lady Mnemobrindal herself. If we keep the Brinn conferences behind the scenes, I have a feeling we'll most probably never get around to flashing back to them. On the other hand, I wonder whether they're actually so necessary. Asta and Coldan are through the worst already, I think; Asta is feeling let down by Aldarion, but she can probably confront him on that by herself, if Nerwen wants her to; remains getting Aldarion and Coldan back on friendlier terms, and here some mediation by Brinn would have been helpful in my opinion. But maybe, if Coldan continues to mistrust Sador, and Aldarion not trusting him too much either IIRC, they could unite against a (perceived) common enemy? Or if that clashes with Ang's intentions, Brinn could somehow force them to work together, give them a common task or some such? So yeah, I think we can afford to move on.)

[Mnemosyne]

The one problem with skipping the conferences is that Brinn won't let that happen. But I agree that none of the other characters really need it at this point. So I might make one flashback post from Brinn's POV.

Let's move up a day, then.

Mnemo- the meeting Aldarion had with Brinn- what happened in it? I need to know the basics so that I have a better idea what Aldarion's mood is as he starts the new day.

After speaking to Brinn I'm figuring Aldarion went straight to his room to sleep. He has a very big day lined up. If anyone needs to catch him before he leaves, they will have to do it fairly soon, as he'll be going up to see Borondir mid morning, visiting Bregolas around mid afternoon, and then on to the other secret business that has been hinted at during the evening/night.

[Formendacil]

Speaking of Days... are we planning on playing out each individual Day or I am mistaken in thinking we still have close to two weeks until Opening Night? Or are we planning to jump a day or two, in game time?

[Mnemosyne]

Formy, we have one week in-game. Should be just enough that we can play each day out (maybe skip one of rehearsal?) without making the game tired.

Phantom, Brinn's going to want to hear what happened from Aldarion, from his point of view. But her main purpose is to defray all of the problems that have cropped up. Depending on the account he gives, she may question his intentions (though it hadn't really occurred to her that they were doing anything more than light flirting until this explosion happened) towards Asta, to see). If he gets all huffy about the madness of performing this play here, she'll kindly remind him that the play was developed far away from the centers of any sort of performance and was never intended for any of these high and mighty audiences, and then attempt to turn things around by saying that this really is his chance to make things right.

If you have time tonight before anyone else ducks in, we can play this out; otherwise, tomorrow morning IRL let's move the game ahead.

[the phantom]

I'll fill my save as soon as I'm home this evening.
