JUST TELL US THAT EITHER OF THOSE NAMES ARE INACCURATE. THAT'S RIGHT, YOU CAN'T.

Sigh that was not his finest hour. Altaïr's, I mean. It was pretty good for Robert.

I think my only question left is 1) have they already met 2) what did they learn about each other if so (let's face it that mostly goes for what Robert learned about them) and 3) who gets the most glares, Maria for having atrocious taste or Altaïr for stealing his steward?

[carpedeum]

NO ARGUMENTS HERE HE IS THE FINEST OF BOTH WORLDS

It's always a note of a good game when the first 20 minutes makes me laugh because someone got smacked in the face. (see also: why ac3 made me start dragging cross through every musebox i have)

I'd say 1) probably yes, insofar that someone told them to nut up and shut up about their petty angry squabbles 2) I'll leave that up to you guys though if Robert knew the two of them were involved and both Assasins it would push things along quicker, I think and 3) both. They both get the most glares. Though Altair gets the burden of his animosity because you take his life AND his best soldier? Unforgivable.

He's gonna put a baby in her too 8) twice

shh me

IM GETTING CONFUSED BECAUSE WE HAVE THE SAME ICONS jai why are you doing this to my poor brain

anyway. In that case I propose that they've met, had one blistering argument-turned-fight then been sent to various naughty corners by the Gandalf Expy, been dragged OUT of those corners when a battle starts and 'what are you doing over there come kill orcs' after which there's a tentative and highly sullen truce punctuated by occasional snide encounters in the mess hall bc nothing's actually been sorted beyond "i killed you" "it didn't stick"/"i'm an assassin" "you're fucking fired is what you are" but after that initial attack it's been pretty quiet and they're getting really good at being ships passing in the night-

AND WHERE WE AGAIN ENCOUNTER OUR ERSTWHILE HEROES, THE FORCES OF EVIL HAVE INFILTRATED THE FIRST RING AND CORRUPTED A DISTRICT OF CIVILIANS AND GUARDS whilst all three were in that district on leave or sth so they had to band together to survive the Mordor Zombie Attack and here we are. They're all tired and probably more than a little bloody and everything's only just stopped being on fire and screaming.

OKAY OKAY I'LL BE GOOD switched back now c:

I like all of this but have (possibly) one final question: does Robert realize that in addition to bring a turncoat, Maria is doing the do with his killer? Because I feel like that could be funny if he hasn't but I don't want to dumb him down if he would grok that.

also I've been playing a lot of Dragon Age lately and I'm totally seeing them fighting Darkspawn and Maria earning and losing approval points through conversation.

[carpedeum]

This all works for me too and actually I'm not sure if he'd assume that right off the bat - he'd probably initially assume that she just fell under the sway of Assassin lies and falsehoods and her allegiances shifted, not that they're Actually Involved. If that came up right after they get done running like hell it'd probably be all kinds of hilarious. I.E., one of them gets close to the other to check on injuries and it's a moment of tenderness and he takes one look and goes OH HELL NO or something similar.

That thought amuses me. Asscreed could actually stand to gain something through an approval system honestly.

Altaïr Approves +5
ROBERT DISAPPROVES -1000000000000000

[agestocome]

Gotta find the right gifts for your party members, Maria.

Like Altaïr's head on a silver platter-- no anyway where are we setting this psl up because as long as you both promise we can do the above scene i've got no further questions.



NO WAIT I DO. THE QUESTIONIS what timezone are you in, Lex.

[givetheslip]

I assumed we'd stick it here since we did the plotting here but if someone wants to host I have no objection! As long as they provide cookies to the guest.

I'M IN EASTERN FOR THE RECORD go to bed elle.

[carpedeum]

Altair starts at -10^9000 for Robert, no solving that relationship dilemma without another blade to the throat.

Here works for me! As at the moment I am without cookies (or an actual musebox). And I'm in CST!

[agestocome]

I technically have a musebox but we're already here and I'm lazy.

What are we calling GMT nowadays? UTC? That. Which leads nicely into me obeying Jaina and going to bed because it's 1:45AM and I can't feel my hands. If you guys have time and get the thread/post up tonight I'll tag it tomorrow but feel free to godmode Altair for set-up purposes :>

[carpedeum]

IN THAT CASE who's pro on starting? I can get something up tomorrow when I wake up (still have some work to do tonight) if you guys'd like me to start it up; otherwise I too can tag in when I wake up.

(sorry for that really long delay there. again work. i procrastinated for too long today.)

[givetheslip]

I'm coming down from a bathroom cleaning fumes high for a bit before bed, but I can pop an all-purpose IC post for these shenanigans and whoever brings a flag over first can claim it for England.

(I reiterate. Fumes.)

[carpedeum]

I believe you mean for France

but excellent, I look forward to it.

[givetheslip]

honhonhon

Okay here it is and yes it's ridiculous, but it's after midnight and I'm punchy. Y'all are lucky I didn't top it off with Kesha lyrics.

[carpedeum]

hi yes it's been a week and i still haven't tagged that please accept templar apologies. I wound up with more work than I expected last week and this weekend, BUT I should have nothing for another week most likely, so I'll get a tag into this so we can get it rolling. Are we all still cool with them just fresh off running from the first wave of invaders and getting ready to set up a defense?

[kanca]

I've got a starter mostly written for Altair but if you wanna go first that'd be great.

[thatasshole]

elle you're like the RPer with a thousand faces

[kanca]

I HAVE NEVER SEEN YOUR BILL USERNAME BEFORE HOLY SHIT

[thatasshole]

I feel pretty confident in saying it's the best Bill Miles username ever.

[carpedeum]

Remember that part where I said I'd actually tag last week and then didn't? Good times. I did get a start up now! Let me know if it works or if you'd like me to edit it to something different, and I can get to it when I'm back from work.

Also my god that username. That the fact that you play Miles Senior. I think you two play every character I've ever wanted to RP with.

[givetheslip]

Nah it's cool, I am staring down a life-eating week of work myself. I just didn't want to start it with Maria because it seemed the sort of scenario where she'd be a better reactor.

WELL NOW YOU CAN, WE MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. Spoiler though I have more journals than I actually play. A lot of times I make 'em for musebox purposes or one-off fourth wall things.

I am still pretty proud of the username though =u=

[givetheslip]

Remember when I didn't tag for a week and a half? Also good times. I'm still being lightly gnawed on by work but ugh I do not want to think about it again until I have to. So the most excruciatingly awkward battle council thing ever can happen instead, yay!

/makes a stack o'comments

[givetheslip]

I JUST WANT TO SHARE that in the last week and change I ended up replaying AC1 for basically the first time ever and 1) I cannot take the opening bit seriously anymore because I kept thinking Altair should tell Robert he's gonna put a baby in his steward, but then I cackled when he got thrown through a wall 2) I shanked Robert in 30 seconds and felt very smug. I blame playing Altair.

Good times.

[carpedeum]

assassinssss

Altair getting hurled through a wall is one of the best parts of the game especially when you consider that the entire thing was held up by beams and shit and that could have brought down the whole temple. Great job Robert.
