Wildflower Inn OOC Discussion/Sign-Up

[shisteer of nothing much]

Alrighty, I will post soon. Question: What is the weather like at this point in the story?
Which season is it?

[Mara the Wolf]

@shisteer of nothing much
Well, I imagine the Northlands are rather cold, given that it's probably based on Scotland (not that I know Scottish climate). But, I'd say slightly windy, just a bit chilly (but then, they're animals; most of 'em have fur and grow winter coats in the fall ). As for season, I'd say summer. Oh, and evening (yes, summer evenings can be chilly. Trust me. If I want to take walks in summer, I generally have to wait till 5PM, and trust me, in a couple hours, it'll be chil~ly.)

[shisteer of nothing much]

Ah, gotcha. Sounds good. Thanks.

What's the layout of the inn?

[Mara the Wolf]

It's fairly big (I'm guessing here, as I'm bad with measurements), I'd say it's 50 sq. ft. On the left side is the counter/bar, with about 6 barstools, and the kitchen's through a door behind the counter labeled with an "Employees Only" sign, and a 2-beast-wide staircase leading to the second floor, where all the bedrooms are located, is in furthmost left corner. On the right side is 6-8 round wooden tables, each capable of seating up to eight beasts. There's a window on each side of the front door, one in the furthermost right corner, and one by the foot of the stairs. At the top of the stairs are 8 common bedrooms (you have to share them with other beasts), and in front of the top of the stairs is Masika & Mara's room, labeled with an "Employees Only" sign, just like the kitchen door, and a small janitor's closet.

Right, sounds good. What does the wall opposite the door look like? (I'm imagining it has a fireplace, some pictures either side of it, maybe an old, framed map or something)

Also, how is it lit, primarily? Obviously during the day the windows would provide quite a bit of light, but I gather this is evening. Are there lanterns hanging from the beams, candles, torches, what?

[Mara the Wolf]

There's a bulletin board with quests right of the window near the staircase, and to the right of that is a fireplace with an old, framed map next to it, just like you described.

As for lighting, candles in bowls on the tables, with a big wheel in the center hanging from the ceiling with candles at the end of each spoke, and a few lanterns on the wall. The bedrooms each have one window, and a lantern for night-light.

       Hey Masika, hope things are going well. I just stopped by to mention real quick that we prefer that people avoid double posting in most circumstances. If you've got some new things to say, there is a "modify" button above and to the right of your post. Best of luck with your Inn!

This is interesting; I am considering joining. Would I be allowed to base a character on one of my OCs from a fanfiction?

[Mara the Wolf]

As I said to shisteer, already existing OCs are allowed, so long as they follow the rules (no guns/modern tech besides surgery, no magic, no fantasy races like elves, dwarves, dragons, etc.)

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

Awesome. I'll write up a character sheet later.

[shisteer of nothing much]

You should totally bring the snarky one in!

My questions are basically answered, but I think I need to bring in several other characters at the same time as Nitsyok, so my post will have to wait a few more hours. (I apologise)

[Mara the Wolf]

Mara's already in, albeit with only one line. She and Masika are a duo, after all! (If you want to enjoy their first time, head over to Redwall Survivor and check out Masika & Mara's Tribute Reviews: http://redwallsurvivor.com/forums/index.php?topic=1877.0)

[The Grey Coincidence]

Lol, I remember those. Not gonna lie... it was pretty easy to piece together who Veach's author was after the lil' cute debate

Also wow, you have no idea how much I had to restrain myself from saying 'Kew-Kew is not *ugly*!'

[Mara the Wolf]

@The Grey Coincidence
Hah! Apparently you forgot your own description of him, Grey:

A horrific creature dropped down from the foliage above. A black mask of fur lay over wide, curious eyes that stared down at the mouse. It's tail and arms were bare, muscular and lined with a few stray strands of fur. It wore a skirt of feathers and carried a jagged spear in one paw.

Practically naked arms & tail on a weasel-ferret hybrid? Sounds ugly to me!

[The Grey Coincidence]

But he looks *cute* when I draw him!!! A-and that's Margaret's perspective! Just coz *she* thinks he's ugly.

Probably going to launch myself into the RP proper now. Just need to know is the Inn in the middle of nowhere? In some town? Where exactly is it located?
