Huckleberry Posted November 29, 2023 Posted November 29, 2023 Pumped for this thread - thanks for humoring me, AA.
Huckleberry Posted December 16, 2023 Author Posted December 16, 2023 @Avenger Assembled I'm wondering if you can describe this convenience store, MUCHO ROLLO to me a bit more, as you envision it. Is it staffed, or like an automat? Is everything ordered through the computer interface, or are there items on shelves a person could grab and bring up to a register?
Avenger Assembled Posted December 17, 2023 Posted December 17, 2023 Sure, Huckleberry - Have you ever been inside a big gas station/convenience store like Wawa or Sheetz? It's basically one of those, but obviously a local business rather than a chain. It looks to be mostly a business that caters to Hispanic people - the snacks are mostly Latin American brands like Bimbo, they have Mexican Coke, there's a sign for money transfer, etc. Their menu is mostly Long John Silvers type, fried fish, etc - and sushi!
Huckleberry Posted December 17, 2023 Author Posted December 17, 2023 Nice. Around here, they're called Nom Nom or Maverik, but I think I get the idea. Thanks!
Huckleberry Posted December 18, 2023 Author Posted December 18, 2023 @Avenger Assembled would it be alright if we transition Cat Lessons to a format where we resolve mechanics OOC before making character posts for a bit?
Huckleberry Posted December 18, 2023 Author Posted December 18, 2023 If you don't mind, I'd like to throw in a little danger and dice rolling
Avenger Assembled Posted December 18, 2023 Posted December 18, 2023 Okay. Let's talk about what your plans are so we don't step on each other again.
Huckleberry Posted December 18, 2023 Author Posted December 18, 2023 No worries. I'm very new to this pbp site, so apologies all around, and expect some awkwardness. I wouldn't want to spoil the whole surprise, but I was thinking to have the evening go off the rails a bit at this point, to the degree that rules and dice would get involved. I'll take a whack at being clear in my next post, likely tomorrow.
Huckleberry Posted December 18, 2023 Author Posted December 18, 2023 Actually, it occurs to me I should probably just ask you what you want for the thread. I think this may be another case of me thinking I had communicated, but actually it was nothing like. . . I think we've done some fun stuff in this thread trading back and forth with universal full narrative powers, and I'm happy to keep doing that too! Alternatively, I could make a go at trying to provide surprise, suspense, and challenge of navigating a narrative exchange with only your character's intent and description at your disposal. I'm truly happy with either approach I think I may have somewhat bungled an attempted transition between the two.
Avenger Assembled Posted December 19, 2023 Posted December 19, 2023 Well, Neko's illusion + high interaction skills are not technically passable by bystanders. =D Are you looking for them to get into combat? I can take care of that, I had some ideas for the convenience store. But if we're doing something else you'd like to do now that we're out of it, that's fine too.
Huckleberry Posted December 19, 2023 Author Posted December 19, 2023 No, I don't think I'd feel good about that. I'll throw another post up and we can just keep bumbling along and see what happens.
Huckleberry Posted December 19, 2023 Author Posted December 19, 2023 @Avenger Assembled Go ahead and make an initiative roll José: 20 Ramon: 13 Consuelo: 22
Huckleberry Posted December 22, 2023 Author Posted December 22, 2023 Happy holidays. Unplugging for a few days, although I think this thread is wrapped up anyway.
