The Barker Street Irregulars OOC and Set Up Thread

[Steampunk Away]

I was thinking the book part as well, but it would require editing.

[Ranger Reid]

I don't mind the idea of,the ebook.  Agreed on needing the editing. 

[Prof. Isambard Ravenwood]

thirded on the editing front

[Ranger Reid]

Sorry I missed your character name.   I dont think it hurt really. but I will fix it forward.

[Prof. Isambard Ravenwood]

Oh, it's fine, just a heads up for the fluidity of the game.

[Ranger Reid]

I must not be evil.... I must not be evil... I must not be evil.........

   LOL   Sample post  :    Reid suddenly caught a crossdraft, and realized that the smell of urine and B.O. were from a much more proximate source.  Apparently his protege had been more frightened than he let on during the attack.  Reid felt a moment's pity for the poor man, then thought "That explains why he was shouting criticisms from the safety of Celia's skirts, and not fighting himself."


But honestly,  I just cant...  LOL   

[Prof. Isambard Ravenwood]

LOL, actually, the tubes don't smell that bad in London... it's the Parisian metro that STINKS.

[Ranger Reid]

You are talking about a guy who has spent his life in the woods.  A crowd is when he passes another guy on a horse.   So.... Victorian London......

[Prof. Isambard Ravenwood]

"a crowd is when he passes another guy on a horse" brilliant LOL

[Ranger Reid]

Hey,  since we are both developing this part together, I wont go very far with the narrative.   I will just nudge a little, and then you add to. 


I have an idea forming about what we might find.     

[Stella Gaslight]

Celia is such a mama bear. I hope you dont mind me jumping in.

[Ranger Reid]

I was just going to ask you about that   It's your story.   

[Stella Gaslight]

It is our story now and I have a twist to plonk down. Some of the gargoyles are friend and some are foe and it is up to you to figure out which is which.

[The Corsair]

This is moving fast. Reckon we can have a TLDR go up here at the end of each page?

[Prof. Isambard Ravenwood]

TLDR?

[Ranger Reid]

Too long didn't read.   You mean a summary so far, or synopsis?

[Stella Gaslight]

Visions of hell are Celia seeing parts of world war two and I can help with catching up after this weekend. I am getting ready to go to the ren fare.

[Steampunk Away]

Which ren faire?

[Stella Gaslight]

The st Louis one. I have a booth there and this is the last weekend so I have been scrambling to get all my stock ready.

[Steampunk Away]

Cool! I *plan* on going to the NY Ren Faire

[Stella Gaslight]

I have a friend who does that fare as a drinking horn carver.

[Steampunk Away]

I will be sure to stop by!

[Ranger Reid]

We had a group, YEARS ago that did combat choreography.   We went to a bunch of the RenFairs and even performed at other events.  It was special but as happens, egos ruined it.    The two main guys got to measuring...... equipment.   And so the group split.  Sad too because apart, neither group was any good.

I tried to go to both groups for a bit, trying not to take sides.   So I ended up being alienated from both.  I would show up and they would drill me whether the other group was talking about them.   It was so junior high..... 

I miss the performing, but not the drama.

My favorite part............(long post sorry...)   but my favorite part of a RenFair is the first night or so.  The paying folks have left.  All the die hard role players are still in character and costume.  And you have a bonfire/ cookout/ party all evening in character.  It was awesome.

I had a small reputation for telling stories.  I would make up some sweeping tale of adventure, and I would weave in the guys I had met that night, making them heros, villains, and such depending on how I thought they wanted to be seen.

I miss telling the stories by the firelight the most.
