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.
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.
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.
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 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 :>
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.)
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.
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?
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.
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=
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!
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.
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.
so many assassins yet I still get weird looks parkouring around Masyaf. You'd think they'd be used to it there.
WAY 2 GO BIG APPLAUSE. Whatever, it worked and that's all that's important. I wonder if he came back to Acre and lol'd over the way he totally showed up that loser boy with Maria and the rest of his inner circle.
