Nexus OoC IV: We're All Mad Here

[Quincunx]

It's the portapotty of Musical Doooooooooom!

Wait, ****, I hold it until everyone's gone to RL sleep just so I can have a pee in peace and there's a body in there?!

. . .yeah I'll roll with it.

Oh yeah--alert me if any band employs woodwinds, I have a bacchanal weakness for woodwind music.

Let's throw a wrench in the works. Is the body not responding because my own magic is so weak and new, or is it that on the festival grounds powers without song are worthless?

GLOG STUFFS

GLoG players, please speak up. Everyone else can ignore, or provide bystander opinions.

Since most of the cabins were destroyed and rebuilt, and a bunch of characters currently assigned to cabins have fallen into perma-deadtime, let's see if we can rearrange stuff. I propose a system like in Inside / Outside / Home threads with players sending in their cabin information, but other ideas can be considered (including scrapping the entire idea of keeping a list.)

I've struckthrough names of characters that I believe are either perma-deadtimed or no longer living at GLoG. If I've gotten any wrong, let me know.

[/table]

Each cabin has rooms A-D. The main lodge has plenty of bunk space, but there are no separate rooms.

Cabin 5 is reserved for visitors who do not want to stay at the lodge. They are requested to check in at the main lodge, where any member can give them permission to stay for a few days. Longer than that, and unless they are in need, they would be requested to either join or move to their own place or one of the local inns.

New cabins can be added as the plot demands it.

Well, Reelshka is going to continue to live in a cellar somewhere. Maybe a note could be added about that.

[happyturtle]

Probably a note needed for all the dorf tunnelling too.

@ Quincux: We hadn't actually finished locking Pete up and putting spells on the portapotty, but feel free to accidentally discover him after we're done.

[Quincunx]

It's written, but nothing a quick delete-and-repost-after-appropriate-parties-have-posted can't fix. Retconning is fun.

[Trobby]

@GLoG cabins:

Does anyone want me to give our currently just numbered cabins names? And if so, what sort of names?

<.<; Since I made the most recent topic, the duty of fixing the first post falls onto me.

[FireFox]

If the lake is named for the phoenix, maybe the cabins could be named after other mythical creatures? Unicorn, gryphon, et cetera? Or maybe those names would be too... violent for GLoG's images? Normal animals, or types of flowers, could also work.

[Ashen Lilies]

I pity the poor fools that have to live in Unicorn Cabin...

We only poke you because you're awesome.

Hmmm...I could try to think of eleven mythical creatures.

Or, since this is the topic with trees, maybe we could name each cabin after a type of tree?

*PROD*

;p We poke/prod because we love. :3

[happyturtle]

I like the tree idea.

[Trobby]

Let's see....

1. Willow
2. Oak
3. Sycamore
4. Redwood
5. Maple
6. Apple
7. Pear
8. Chestnut
9. Birch
10. Dogwood
11. Olive
12. Cedar

There's twelve types of trees (including one for the infirmary and one for the main lodge). I feel like Willow should be the infirmary for some reason, and that Redwood should be the main lodge, but the rest are up in the air.

Any important trees that I missed?

[happyturtle]

Linden, Larch, Ash, Pine, Hickory, Poplar, Magnolia

[FireFox]

Elm, Rowan, Fir, Spruce, Holly, Cottonwood, Cypress, and Hemlock.

[Reinholdt]

Oh. And here I was, hoping to see one of the cabins being named after the mythical Puma.

[Ashen Lilies]

Teak, Ebony, Cherry, Fig, Date, Mahogany, Palm...

[ApeofLight]

Let's see....

1. Willow
2. Oak
3. Sycamore
4. Redwood
5. Maple
6. Apple

12. Cedar

Linden, Larch, Ash, Pine, Hickory, Poplar, Magnolia

Elm, Rowan, Fir, Spruce, Holly, Cottonwood, Cypress, and Hemlock.

Teak, Ebony, Cherry, Fig, Date, Mahogany, Palm...

Aspen, Boxelder, Ginkgo, Plum, Walnut, and I think that's just about all of them.

Can you think of any others? *points to screen*

[The Bushranger]

Gumbo Limbo!


Tobias, Quinn and Jamie live in the Infirmary, that might be notable.

[Morty]

Reelshka is going to be deeply shocked everyone else is able to tell the trees apart from each other.
And now that I think about it, Reelshka could make use of the dorf tunnels. Her colleagues would be pissed if they found out, but still.

@_@; Um...is there possibly any way we could maybe narrow this list down just a tad? We've only got twelve cabins right now...

[Morty]

Technically, they have a contract to do just that.
...
Just saying is all.

...
Would you believe I completely forgot about that? Had I remembered, Dipsnig would've told Raz to observe KR and maybe take some pictures in case they meet her.

[The Bushranger]

1. Palm
2. Gumbo Limbo
3. Buttonwood
4. Ligum Vitae
5. Mahogany
6. Princewood
7. Mangrove
8. Cypress
9. Lime
10. Acacia

*nods*

...oh, you said narrow it down. >_> The first list looks fine to me.

[Lord Iames Osari]

*pokes BR to the Embassy*

I have to admit I've been thinking of the cabins in GLoG as being an arbitrarily high number.

[Trobby]

Darn you, Bushy.

Alright, I'm going with the initial list. Heck, I'll post the extra types of trees in case anyone wants to add a cabin in at any point.

[The Bushranger]

Eep! *scurries there*

...poor Adamaris. I like her.

[Project_Mayhem]

...

Having met KR, Raz can now cast sympathetic magic at her and to her location. Although it will be difficult with this degree of intimacy. Time to magically enhance that :p

[Trobby]

Names added. Changed a few around, and included a list of all the trees you guys threw at me to give to later cabins that will suddenly exist as demanded.

[Earl of Purple]

Since somebody mentioned coming up with 11 mythical monsters, I think I'll have a go. I'll try and avoid anything humanoid.

1) Griffin/Gryphon/various other spellings
2) Hippogriff
3) Chimera
4) Hydra
5) Dragon
6) Camelepard
7) Manticore
8) Roc
9) Leviathan
10) Behemoth
11) Kraken

There's also Unicorn, Pheonix, Bugbear (the medieval version was merely a giant bear, not a goblin), Hippocampus and Spinx.

[Trobby]

1: Elf
2: Dwarf
3: Bugbear
4: Orc
5: Vampire
6: Werewolf
7: Goblin
8: Pixie
9: Troll
10: Satyr
11: Nymph
12: Angel
13: Demon
14: Zombie
15: Kitsune

And those are just the humanoids. Though I was more concerned with coming up with 12 mythical creatures that tend to have a positive connotation to the way they are represented in mythos, or at least are positively represented frequently enough so that it would not cause a problem trying to use those names in a setting like GLoG.

Much as I can try, I cannot imagine that there would be no heads turning if they were to walk up to a GLoG cabin, only to find a picture of Tiamat on the front door.

[The Bushranger]

You mean we can't have a Drow Cabin?

[Trobby]

Well, maybe if Dr'zzlt shows up in our world.

By the way, I did this while trying to explain to Lix Lorn the various organizations in the NEXUS.

NO- The Neutral Organization. Not good or evil. They just take contracts from whomever has need of their skills. Located in a cold northerny iceland.

PACK- Perfectly Appropriate College for Kids! Where all the younger Nexus characters hang out. (Nexus being the world in general), this is for characters under the age of 16.

GLoG- Good Leage of Good. Formed to rehabilitate formerly-evil characters towards good deeds. Located in a foresty area with log cabins. HALO is another good organization, but apparently hasn't seen much action lately.

AMEN - Amoral Men (and Women) of Evil Nature. I made that one up myself, but AMEN is the group to go to if you are of the evil sort. Evil ranging from just sorta being villains to outright world domniation to horrible horrible evil tendencies. Evil.

WATCHTOWER - ....I'm sure you could think of something given enough time. This is an evil-fighting organization, but by no means is it like GLoG. Their opinion of evil is that it should be cut down, decapatated, and have its head put on a pike. They are vengeful. They do not like evil one bit.
