Others have unluckiness thrust upon them.

    We'll be sending the newbie portion of the new line-up on a quiet camping trip soon. Then the more established members can just kick back and relax.

    Heh.


S'mores and weenie roasts do offer a great deal of bonding potential. And they should totally do that retreat exercise where you fall backwards in order to gain trust in your team.

Are there actually going to be any established members left by the time the new line-up roles around?

    I'd have to go back and read something I previously wrote to be sure, but as I recall there was some kind of legal wrangle that saw Vespiir "claimed". Since nobody challenged that claim within seven days she's legally the property of her claimnant.


If you do find the passage, let me know what it says.

    Meanwhile, Kriije is of the House of Raael and Koodi is now of the House of Kiivan himself! At some point somebody may have to point out to Koodi that in Caphan terms that makes her more valuable than any chattel of her former master.


Surely there would still be some kind of hierarchy based on skill set though... Just because someone is scullery maid to the king shouldn't really make them more valuable than a well-trained, highly skilled subject of a lesser lord. Not that this is what Koodi is, mind you... or that her former master even had well-trained, highly skilled house members.

    I do think some of the more traditional Caphans who put a lot of stock into a house's honor will be harsh in their assessment of Vespiir though. I'm not sure how the Juniors will react, but I'm sure it'll be interesting to read.

    We'll undoubtedly get to it eventualy, but this is the kind of thing that hurts much more if it's left to fester for a time.


Well, like I said above, seeing as how the deal really did extend to undoing the good she did to save the universe, I don't think it's reasonable for anyone to hold her actions here against her. Even if her main motivation was to avoid the madness, the fact that in doing so she preserved the safety of the parodyverse is too big of a mitigating factor. She really had no other option but to go along with it and do what the Hood asked.



    Quote:
    At the moment Vespiir's not very trained in her powers. I don't really want to write the stuff in-story for out-of-story reasons but you're free to imagine that Vizh will be introducing Vespiir to Tina Cabanez.


I understand. Do you know how long I've been hoping for someone to come along and establish a new telepath in the Parodyverse? Having a character that can comment on unspoken thoughts is just too much fun. However, I do agree that it is a great niche for a posting character, and so it would have been a shame to fill it with an npc.

Of course, considering the age of the board, it might be unrealistic to think there's much possibility of a new poster adopting such a character now.

    And there's one of those illustration ideas that cheers me right up...

    And there's Kirk with cash money.


I may technically owe him a nude Aunt May drawing for some reason... I can't quite recall any longer. I hold out hope that he can't as well.
