DreamLyrics™ Play-by-Post Forums Hall of Fame - Latest Top 10 completed games OAHE: Once upon an All Hallows Eve OOC: Now Scatter!

Well I was under the impression that only one went in with Soot. So I paused to see if we had more takers. In either case it will be more to read as a solo adventure so I wanted to offer another thread at the same time.

Thanks for keeping me on track.

I thought Bringer was in on the dream...

Seeker is outside of the dream proper, but also snoozing as he watches for intrusion from the Astral.

Bringer was the only one to join as an observer as near as I have read. Which is fine by me, just didn't want to make assumptions...

Guess I will have to have something exciting happen outside of the dream world too.

We seem to have stalled. Move on to the next event? (The kennel rescue.) I can give a summary of what might or is learned with this encounter.

Sorry... I saw nothing to respond to in the last post, so didn't respond.

My intention was to force a physical confrontation with the spirit, and there by allow them to not only show their catness, but also possibly learn some information.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. The intended threat was the physical movement of the spirit. If she/it isn't stopped it could drown the burden. Just as the cat was drowned, if players remember.

I recognize the threat in the scene, which is why I was expecting something dramatic and got... essentially nothing.

I just didn't see any way in which to change my prior post, given the lack of change in the situation. I simply didn't know if there was anything *to* do, given that what I did got no reaction at all.

From the write up of the dreamwalking, I believe my character is in the dreaming and not seeing any of it?

My cat is not confrontational or very experienced in spirit issues.

My cat is confrontational and has some anti-spirit capabilities, but isn't sure what the commotion is having just turned up in the room.

Heh. It's like herding cats. Let me see what I can do to help the scene along before we skip ahead. I will try and get something up today.

Well... you could have picked dogs, but that would be no fun!

If mine isn't out of the scene, please let me know.

You have a good handle on what is going on. I was just trying to deal with both in and out of dream kinds of things at the same time. Which with cats complicates things.

I guess I need to ask outright, then...

Is the approaching spirit showing any sign of noticing Seeker and just ignoring him or is it not seeming to see him at all? "Seems Unaware" wasn't sufficiently clear to me the first time, nothing was adding this time.

Is she acting like she was earlier or somehow different in any noticeable way (Seeker's theory that maybe something else is riding in the spirit not the woman who they think it is)? Might be hard to tell if it's just moving forward without any color... but it's hard to do *anything* responsive if it's offering little to respond to.

That helps. Thanks.

The spirit seems about the same to Seeker. She seems distracted which is likely an effect of the dream walking. She shows no signs of stopping. No she seems to be completely unaware of the real world.

Does that clarify things?

And a note to all. The game is more of an interactive work of fiction. Please ask, suggest, heck out right create if it helps tell a better story.

Lastly but certainly not least. We all miss stuff due to RL's little distractions. I for one appreciate the help in being reminded of something I might have missed.

OK, completely unaware is one of the possibilities (and the most obvious one), but I needed to be certain given Seeker's current theories. It certainly divides what he was most worried about from what's happening (which he should be worried about, but he's not always the most focused-on-the-real-issues sort of cat).

A real reply coming soon.

Every cat has been here's back into the main thread. All is furry and quiet.

At this point the cats can stay and watch or they can depart without interference.

Where to and what do they do?

I don't need no stinking word of the day lists. I have AJ and he keeps making me look up words. Good Job! Keep it up. Oh and thanks.

I know people are busy. But I expect when the time comes we can continue with the kennel rescue and finish the other scene. Then on to the main event.

I know people are busy. Yet we have had some no shows and a decided lack of interest. Is it time to move the plot on or kill the game? I only want to do it if people want to play it. Looking for feed back. Failed experiment or no?

Still here and still interested.

You've provided a good, interesting setup and have run the game well so far, Pandemonium, but, to be honest, I just have never been able to develop a strong feeling for my character.

Not your problem, all mine, but I think I'd be better off dropping out of this one.

Sorry about that...

I wasn't looking to push anyone a direction. But I do understand. If it isn't interesting and fun then there is no point. Your always welcome.
