I didn't put in a date or specific location in my intro post so if anyone wants a discount monster-slayer on hand while headed to Wayfarers, here's a fine opportunity!

Also, I'm always eager to have my writing critiqued if anyone's got any thoughts where that's concerned.

DoomHat - As a small favor to Kasa, do you think you could provide translations of your heavily accented speech as a footnote? I can only imagine how difficult that is to read if English isn't your native language. I have no problem with the accent; I like flavor a lot. I just thought of it as a courtesy.

So, how do you want to have the whole Hassar meets Kessia thing work? Like, would your ship just be arriving or would our meeting be a bit before the current events (I'm thinking the latter)

we could confer and have the meeting as part of a larger post (perhaps you describing Kessia arriving at port with the Firebrand and looking for new crew to replace those lost or to shore up your numbers or somesuch)

Also, claiming Bold Shark Blue for Hassar.

Sorry, I am happy to see many players want to come to Bukiya inn, but an introduction wasn't made probably before it was seen. Probably a map or sketch of inn will make soon so it can be understood.

It seems some different situations for the Bukiya Inn, but I want to try to understand different messages I must write.

If it is a return of a character who already has met Non, please make a note for me of this. Non to have a perfect memory so a customer isn't forgotten, but Kasanip can't know such a thing.

Xondoure: Servants entrance? There was no plan for this, but I will make some changes. Probably Jonathan will be waiting for some time. I will have a meeting of Non probably if it is desired.

Tebryn: Is Vasae going to Bukiya Inn at 08:00? To read the post, it seems it is late at night, or something like this? I don't know which it should be written It seems to read OOC thread, there is some arrangement of Xondoure and Tebryn, but maybe an IC post was not changed?

Milo v3: Is Amon [break in] to the Bukiya Inn at 03:00? I hope it is not so, or please to send PM if it is desired for such an action. If it is to describe my character as bored and annoyed, probably Mystletinn might have such a sleepy thought at 03:00 if customer is to arrive. I will try to make a response for him.

It seems it is:
Xondoure: Jonathan (17|02:00)
Milo v3: Amon (17|03:00)
Tebryn: Vasae (17|08:00?)

Did I miss a post of another player?

Actually I was very worried about this kind of problem. Such language cannot be understood by me. If it is no trouble for such a translation if speaking to my characters, please write for me! If it is not for my characters, it is ok not to make translation, so please do not be burdened.

Oh that was a mistake on my part, because I was writting the IC for a game I am about to run and I must have become mixed up. Sorry about that I'll fix it.

As for being bored and annoyed, I thought it might have been because of lack of people coming into the Inn early in the morning and also because of her conversation with Non.

Yes, that's correct sorry. I was...very tired when I got around to editing the post and...missed a lot. I'll fix it. He is there in the early morning, not the late night.

Okay wow, took forever just to read through the OOC

Anyway, been working on my character... A bit. Still rather confused on who he would work for. As fun as it might be to work for the Pirate Lord Blake, my character has a severe hate of slavery. So I don't think that'll work out...

EDIT: Actually better question, which pirate lords/captain's don't endorse slavery? (at least the barbaric kind)

By the way, in the first post on the recruitment thread, in the First Clarification spoiler, the game starts using examples from Playground 3 at "The Big Lesson" section. Just wondering if perhaps that could be changed? I'm not sure people who are new to the Playground would understand when "Taelarys" is mentioned.

Just wanted to mention that, hope it didn't come out like a complaint.

Okay, barbaric might not be the correct word to use in that case. Rather I'll just go with slavery in general.

It is your inn Kasa, I can change it if you want me to. I just assumed that's how it would work (normally there's an entrance into the back so kitchen supplies and bedding can be moved in without disturbing the customers.) So sorry for that.

Yeah, I did, I'm sorry. I didn't think people would be interested (and also, I'm not sure what he's saying, which is ironic because I'm taking German in college).

On the topic of sharing things, what kind of things would people like shared? I have a palethora of songs and videos which could all work...

I was mostly just teasing. He's talking about starting a new life, wiping his old one clean and setting it on fire and delving into what the chaos and change of not knowing brings.

And now you know. And knowing is half the battle!

I'd be more worried if it was real humor. I don't think there was a shred of joking in at least my discussion with Valgumn. It makes me excited for any RP our characters may get into.

As for how I've been, ok. You?

Oh, right. I seem to have a problem telling the different between what is humor and what isn't. I've been alright, have a part time job while I've got the summer off college. Took my time off from the last Playground to relax and get my schoolwork done for the semester. Having issues with mood swings, but otherwise I'm alright.

I think things will go much better this time than it did before. Being a fan of pirates and sailors may help.

Just a note for anyone writing posts for the 21st, shortly after noon the streets will be beset by several hundred horny pirates intent on getting piss drunk. These debauches are not unusual for Blake's crew, and tend to last a day or two - think a violent, pirate themed mardi gras.

That's the problem though: I really don't you very well.

And since re-posting your character is in vogue at the moment I'll do the same.

Yep, Kessia will be coming into port just after sunset on the 19th of Amber's Fall, so she'll probably hire him around a day or so before current events, unless he wouldn't have heard about her that soon.

Oh, just so everyone else knows and I don't forget, I'm renaming Wind Blast or w/e I called it to Gale. It sounds better and makes more thematic sense, imo.
