Snatching Second Chances OOC

Aaah, sorry, work was crazy busy. I kind of died for a little bit. >.> Hopefully it calms down in a few weeks! XD

Everybody still available in about an hour and a half? :]

i am!

we are in the pad! come join us peoples who be free

sike, @eulogy i think you need to post your post first ! it looks complete to me -- I don't think you'd NEED a header for now (it can always be added later), but just so we can get things moving

We are still writing, if y'all become free and want to join! : D @ScarlettFire @WeepingWisteria @Spearmint

Leaving pad notes here:

Post Ideas in Order:
- IRENE/AMBER/THEREN) POV: Irene leaves for the day to register their team for the tournament. We can send Theren with her, since he's new to the team list, and Amber goes along because she's enjoying getting to know Theren as a fellow bard/musician. This leaves a future collab for any combination of wist/scar/mint.
- SOPHIE POV: Big breaks the news to Sophie, Elle, and Sy about Selena and Sally not making it. The news hits Sophie hard because she'd befriended Sally when their crew was last together. This sets up a bonding moment for Elle and Sophie. (WIP POST CURRENTLY)
- ANY POV: The characters need to brush up on their skills. Some of them have gotten rusty. This could be a setup for a training sequence - but shouldn't only be that. Depending on the POV there should be some character challenges, personal stakes, internal and/or outward conflict, and relational dynamics set up.

Thoughts for Sylenius's Character Development for @eulogy
- Growth from indifference to investment/caring for others
- Growth from destructive pessimism and self-isolation to a more balanced worldview that opens him up to connection with others and trying new things
- Gains more self-confidence and self-respect
- Overcomes his fear of stages and performance (Theren and Amber could be good catalysts for this)
- Has to confront his parents and their favoritism
- Has to confront his brother (the favorite)
- I propose a key part of his growth is he faces a risk relationally where he IS invested: possibly with Elle, his childhood friend, or a new friendship he tries to form. Something where there's real risk of loss/pain/hurt involved. Maybe his brother reaches out to reconnect? I also threw out the potential for unrequited romance

Thoughts for Sylph/Elle's Character Development for @eleyktra
- Growth out of shame and anxiety into comfort and confidence in herself
- Stepping out and making new connections/forging new friendships. Breaking out of her shell

Sounds good to me! I'm free tomorrow and the day after! I'll try to pop on for a bit~

Imma poke my head into the pad to have a snoop in a bit XD

@Spearmint any chance you're around tomorrow or the next?

i should be available tomorrow evening PST! not certain of my exact schedule yet >.< but i can add stuff to the pad ^^ thanks for the tag!
i shall also be in the pad for a bit rn~

i've copy-pasted sound's notes for the Irene/Amber/Theren post into the bottom of the riseup pad! @ScarlettFire would you be free to collab sometime? i know time zones are weird... i can stay up late PST tho xD

also i finally read the new cps and i think Amber's gonna have a lot of fun with the new musical peeps =P (it's so funny how Amber and Sylenis are total opposites in the inside/outside thing lol)

some character development notes bc sound, eulogy, and lektra have inspired me:
- rn, Amber's very... abrasive. it worked out fine (seemingly) in her first post, but treating others like that is gonna come back to hurt her someday
- unintentionally inconsiderate of others-- might need to be confronted directly to realize that
- snobby. judges ppl based mainly on their musical ability. has gotten to recognize the strengths of the crew over their time together, but 100% judges strangers. still need to think abt what the catalyst for growth here would be... maybe her making a mistake?
- claustrophobia-- could maybe work w Sylenis on their respective hatreds of the outdoors/indoors?
and as for things she can help others with...
- ultra-confident, no concept of stage fright. tbh not sure if this would help the more reserved ones (Elle, Theren, Sylenis) or not since it'd be a bit harder for her to relate to them,,, but she could encourage them maybe??
