To Stop A Clock OOC

I got a Roleplay Quest up for if we can finish the intro post this month! (Also I see ya throwing Vittoria in there, @avimoon, nice work ;) )

Speaking of that, is there a time where a few of us (not necessarily everyone) could be around to write and/or discuss who our team's traitor could be? I leave for a trip on the 31st, but aside from that I've got a lot of free time!

XDD thanks
I can try to run in this Thursday

I have added a part with Jyden that can fit in at some point to defuse the situation (or distract)

@NovemberCrow I added a bit with Quinn, please let me know if it works and feel free to change if it doesn't! I just feel like our two charries are going to be together a lot, so I had them arrive together.

Love seeing it! @Omni and I also did some plotting regarding Jyden/Dante. It got complicated (but very fun), so I made a timeline to represent the order of events as best as I could for both of them. I recommend reading what's in the pad first and then making sense of what's in the spoiler below!

Spoiler

Now, hopefully, this is going to clear things up instead of making them more confusing! I started out with Dante's personal timeline in red on the left and Jyden's in purple on the right: following each line tells you the order of events the character experienced them in, not necessarily the order they happened in. From the perspective of time at Anchor Zero (written as A0 on the timeline), Jyden's path is the more linear, but the keyword here is perspective.

A few notes I have about the presentation of information, since my handwriting and legend might be unclear:

• The mission names are arbitrary, following the phonetic alphabet for a vague sense of order. To connect them to plot, Bravo is the one where Jyden kills Dante, Delta (no relation to the character) is the one the team just got back from, and Echo is the one they are about to begin. However, there can be as many missions between what Bravo and Echo represent as we need, and there's also an unnumbered amount of missions ahead (that's our SB's plot!)
• Likewise, the exact numbers for the loops in there are placeholders and don't really matter, they just represent how sequential things are. It's when Dante and Jyden have different loop numbers they return to that there's a large difference in their experience of time passing.
• The dotted lines represent a potential future of how Dante's timeline connects back to Bravo (option A, currently on line 278 of the pad) and how he would be missing on Jyden/the rest of the team's return from a different mission. If we went with option B, these lines don't exist, and Dante's timeline mirrors Jyden's more closely-- I illustrated A because it was the more complicated path.

Speaking of plotting, I'll be in the pad tomorrow putting together some suggestions and potential opportunities @Leya and I thought of for characters! It'd be fun to figure out team dynamics and plot points :]

i will have to investigate that paper thoroughly...

Hey all! First of all, with @NovemberCrow's encouragement and for the sake of developing Quinn, there is now a sample of the Archive's "1001 Things Not To Do While Time Traveling" manual in the pad (I promise it's not actually 1001 things, and is in fact nowhere near that). It's pretty funny, if I do say so myself.

Second, all characters except for Niamh have trickled into the meeting! @winterwolf0100, think you'd be free to have her join them sometime? No rush!

Third, we've got a mission coming up! The basics are already in the pad for you to look at. It'd be nice to have a few people around to plan it to make sure we can add everyone's visions to the outline, although if anyone misses it input can always be added later. Would Saturday or Sunday (presumably afternoon/evening/night) work better for people?

Yes, I’ll try to find a time really soon!

Ley and I are in the pad! Feel free to join in writing and other stuff :D

I’m in pad too!

silv and I are in the pad if anyone would like to join us! c:

Hey all! I'm almost back from vacation-- just popping in to say I've got a masterpost at the OOC's start for some of the lore/info we've been developing! It's got three sections for now but will probably be added to in the future.

@NovemberCrow how's Quinn going? And for everyone else, is there a time that works for wrapping up the intro post so we can get working on outlining and writing the first mission?

I’ll be free tonight and can pretty much hop on anytime between 7-9pm on weekdays c:

Awesome!! I'll check out the master post as soon as I can

I’m on vacation rn, so maybe I’ll have some time to finally write Quinn’s backstory. The master post looks amazing!!

I’ll be hanging out in the pad today working on more lore stuff!
