Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 18: Peek-a-boo style PAWNCH!
Las Noches is actually in a bit of a temporal fancy schmancy. There was a somewhat heavy timeskip following Von Geister's remodulation of the city.
But we can attribute that to dimensional travel temporal shenanigans.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 18: Peek-a-boo style PAWNCH!
I strongly support this proposal. Training "arc" thread can meander all it likes, while we move main plot forward. It lets the MW thread skip ahead a bit, and lets us handwave away the kids actually having improved their skills.
That said, no offense Kayne650, but you will have to post more frequently.
That's some of our trouble; some posters are only making posts at a rate of ~1/week. Which makes for a lot fewer posts, and a much slower pace.
This could be accomplished along a few different lines, one of them being the person they train with.
Another option is to have 2-4 students work together, and the groups be arranged to intentionally "cover weaknesses" or the like. So someone ranged grouped with someone with close combat skills, possibly grouped with someone with "support" abilities or the like.
Indeed. I'm frankly less concerned with sticking to a strict timeline in Hueco Mundo.
...huh?
It's only October 27. We have the rest of this month, all of November, and all of December before we're in 2012. That's something like...65 and change days.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 18: Peek-a-boo style PAWNCH!
One advantage of Las Noches is that days are irrelevant there. The sun is always up, and the entire weather is artificially controlled. So each individual pretty much moves at his own pace.
Edit: One Neo-pagan new year is Samhain, celebrated on the 1st of november, apparently. >_>
So yeah, to some people, new year is in four days. Lets specify the gregorian new year as our goal here.Last edited by Draken; 2011-10-27 at 10:30 AM.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 18: Peek-a-boo style PAWNCH!
This all sounds good to me. I have also noticed the slow pacing and it doesn't have to be this slow. As for the mortal world your idea works pretty well Kuroi. It will be just like what we did with Jiro and Kazuma's battle. As for the Mortal world I'm willing to work with whatever you guys feels best. After all Koga and Chase are the new guys. Not sure if they would have enough time to get in with the group to help at all. Not unless another hollow attack happens and the kids just got through with one.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 18: Peek-a-boo style PAWNCH!
...The Gregorian calendar is over 5 centuries old.
I mean, okay, I'll grant there may be other calendars out there, but I'd think the Gregorian is a standard for...everyone, basically. Or at least basic knowledge of it is.
Anyways, as for Shin...refresh me on who he is, what he does, etc?
@AnimeKid: Well, that's one reason I'd like to keep the meeting moving, so we can at least try to introduce them and any other new MW kids who want to get involved.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 18: Peek-a-boo style PAWNCH!
Shin is the dedicated young (and only) man in my signature. He's the custodian for the Hell Butterfly Atriums numbers 1 through 4. He used to be a growing prodigy at 5th seat, and then inexplicably lost most of his shinigami powers during a mission, whereupon he was demoted to his current position. He's a neat and orderly man who loves exercise, locksport and drinking (usually from his zanpakuto, a sake bottle). He works hard every day to ensure that he can at least keep his seating, for fear that he could become useless enough to be unseated entirely.
Is that... what you wanted to know?

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 18: Peek-a-boo style PAWNCH!
There are some natural groups that have already formed. Specifically, Ken and Kina (and Sayaka); Kaito, Nakahiro, and Izumi; Sora and Valeria. There's definitely a better way to divide. Kina and Sora, for example, worked well together because Sora has power and Kina could provide mobility. But we're talking teenagers here. It's highly unlikely that they'll be completely convinced to group with people they're not used to unless it's somehow forced.
I'll post in the next minute (since I can't post a minute after this post is posted).

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 18: Peek-a-boo style PAWNCH!
Since we're talking about being lax with the timeline, I again restate my suggestion. Play out highlights of any training concurrently with moving the plot forth. You don't need a different thread, you can do it even in the same posts; flashbacks should be a familiar device to everyone.
I'm partial to timeskipping several weeks, directly to the start of the Samsara arc and the kids' time on the training camp (as I recall being proposed).
In the meantime, I'd wish for horngeek and riccaru to post a bit more actively in Ep. 11.
Also, if the Mortal World is going to skip ahead, there's no reason to hold back the Kido Corps plot anymore. I'd rather just cut the chase and get to hunting down the fake Takeshi."It's the fate of all things under the sky,
to grow old and wither and die."

Unless someone who is also a Quincy approaches Kina about teaching her better, I'm just gonna assume she "trains" a bit.
By the way, does the Samsara have anyone who has intelligence-gathering skills?

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 18: Peek-a-boo style PAWNCH!
Episode threads are for solving sideplots that would be too distracting in the main threads - stuff that only affects few select characters, yet is likely to go on for long. So such plots are separated from the main treads to avoid cluttering them. Prime examples would be Kazuma's Gaiden, and Episode 2 (Hannibal's past). The former only involved one pre-established character, going out to an area where no other characters would reasonably be. The latter was basically one, giant flashback.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 18: Peek-a-boo style PAWNCH!
hey all,
Im still struggling on the RL front with my mother...but i have been feeling like i have some time to start posting more often. So I am hoping to get going a bit more with whatever i am needed for.
Before i continue...thank you for all your kind words when i originally posted about my mother...
Also, after discussing in PM with Kasanip about the fate of her 4th Seat in the 9th Division, Kaki, character, she decided that i could play out the rest of her role in the Episode 10 thread by myself. Which i will get to work on (probably trying to chunk that Episode over the course of a several posts). One possible fate of her character, which Kasanip was ok with, was Kaki's death. Whether that is in Episode 10 (which would cause a little retcon in my posts post day 20), or afterwards i (and Kasanip) believe i can make it work in a respectful and meaningful way.
My initial idea was to have her die in the Episode 10, but now i wonder if i may have her pass away in the Kido Corps plot. A death of a higher level Shinigami, during the course of the capture/battle might add a nice touch to the seriousness of the events (i could NPC her). It would also be very important to my character Hirokatsu's development...which i think could be interesting to RP.
Would her death in that add anything? Does anyone need a death to help their plots? I have some ideas of how i would like to treat her death, so not everything goes...but let me know soon.
My goals for posting soon are:
- a post in SS of Hirokatsu with his backup force for the Kido Corps events showing up at the training fields.
- first long post by Hirokatsu in the Episode 10 thread moving the episode on and NPCing Kaki
- a simple post by Taro... (maybe the old Vice Captain could come and chat with him even)
- a post by Yaago coming across Genoveva's current actions in the Hueco Mundo deserts
- maybe a post by Eiji meeting up or seeing the 1st Div. 5th seat
- lastly..i would like to get a post of my photographer human Izanagi...if anyone is interested...let me know
that's a lot to post...and i dont have a ton of free time...but i am going to do my best to get moving on all of it..
if you need or want anything specific from me...just let me know in a PM
PS...i am all for finishing up a month by the end of the year...Hirokatsu Goto, Captain of the 9th Division
Taro Banzuke, 3rd Seat and Acting-Captain of the 10th Division

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 18: Peek-a-boo style PAWNCH!
Personally, I would rather the character not die at all. But it's not my character so it's not my decision.
(Yes, I actually LIKE that No One Dies In Bleach.)
I suggested the episodes because the one-post training montage is kind of silly for me. I like playing it out a bit more - refer to Pico's training by Rouga.

Spar with Aya perhaps? An ex-VC vs an upcoming VC might be able to share perspectives and insights.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 18: Peek-a-boo style PAWNCH!
maybe Myojin shows back up at 10th (if healthy) where Aya and Taro are working... (re-)introductions :) followed by a spar...between Aya and Myojin...maybe originally it was going to be Taro and Aya...but Taro is swamped with clerical work...so Myojin steps in for him... Taro coudl carry all the paperwork out to the practice place and watch or give directions... maybe a a kind of "check" Taro woudl conduct to make sure Myojin is back and capable of field work.... basically goign through the 5 skills in the spar... Zanjutsu, kido, hoho, etc.....so in the guise of a scheduled spar for him and Aya...Taro uses the opportunity to not only get Myojin back in and comfortable with the changes...btu also a way to evaluate Myojin for Taiki..and the 10th...
CMot? Nick? thoughts?

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 18: Peek-a-boo style PAWNCH!
On timeskip: I was actually going to suggest a 2-week timeskip with an episode for training and what have you. But I do think we should stick to an episode, and not split our actions between two periods of time.
Or at least I'd honestly prefer as much. Call me stubborn but I refuse to cave to time shenanigans.My Homebrew

Now, I'm certain that the Hell Butterfly Atriums weren't targeted during Kujo's assault, but is there a chance that some hollows had gotten into them, or was the attack too tightly controlled for that to happen?

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 18: Peek-a-boo style PAWNCH!
Well, it's more that the attack was actually kind of isolated. There were perhaps 6 attackers spread across all of soul society. If 5th wasn't explicitly targeted, then 5th is perfectly fine. I would imagine those atriums are pretty heavily guarded, as well.
Draken: Do you just like pimping Las Noches in-character or something? Seriously, these poor kids with Hollow powers will need some sort of counter-balance to the rather biased view they're getting, even if it's biased in the other direction.

He could have always gone with "How can I just watch over the butterflies when there are companions to be rescued?! 4th must have its hands full by now!".
It seems a suitable motivation to me. Besides, they'd probably need someone to report the extension of the damage caused by the fire and direct efforts to contain it.The Void, the Cold Steel, the Just Sword courtesy of Prime32.

About Draken's Hollow propaganda: many of my characters would be all too eager to give a second opinion, but alas, they're not yet in the place to do so. A timeskip would fix the issue.
