@Ashleg Yesss.

[Ashleg]

Yess because we're movin'?

[The Skarzs]

I like the dissention between them.

[Ashleg]

Yarr.

       I just can't wait to see where it goes, also trying to figure out how I'm going to push things in response... There are so many different plot possibilities it hurts me to think of how many I'll have to pass up.

[The Skarzs]

Do share some of them.

Also. . . Corn!

       I'm also really curious about these spring time apples... Anyway, in no particular order:1.) Raleigh continues to have a downward spiral in her depressive state, leading to heavier energy drain and, more importantly, inhibiting (in part) her abilities to perform her surgical skills. (Not a fan of this direction, fewer options) 2.) Raleigh hardens up, shedding some of her pleasant nature in an attempt to survive and perform in her new circumstances. Problem is she knows exactly what's happening, and hates every second of it as she does not want to change who she is. 3.) Raleigh fights through despair, trying to make the most of what's happening while retaining as much of herself as she can. .

- Mind you, these are only the short term ideas, not as important -

       One of the progressive plot lines I was thinking through was if she toughens up a little, but doesn't necessarily harden her heart. As a result, she's able to start regaining her strength while actually starting to learn about the vermin. A pseudo-acceptance befalls her and she thinks less of escape and more of how to better her current situation while working on her captors injuries (somehow, I'm gonna have to pull some ideas out of thin air as to how she's going to do any medical work with no available supplies). This short-term path can lead to a lot of end-plot ideas. One of which involving Raleigh obtaining a serious hand injury (thus requiring Rowan's help, and possibly leading to the revelation of some of Raleigh's secret history in terms of medicine )

       One that I've been playing with as of like, two hours ago, would follow the increasing depressive state, resulting in a psychotic break at one of the confrontations (Redwallers or Vermin show up/ the actions involved). Not to spoil too much, but when you have a fast, crazy squirrel with hand-to-hand capabilities comparable to that of a Long Patrol Hare and total knowledge and understanding of physiology... Long story short, things get ugly.... and really bloody.

       Ultimately, a lot of the decision making revolves around whether I/we want to break Raleigh's character (personality) or not. After that, the options are still plentiful either way.

(A lot of this came out very poorly, so take it all with a grain of salt)

[The Skarzs]

That was more than I was expecting.
Keep in mind that we have plans as well, and I didn't mean for this RP to get hugely complicated. Sand plans on having the big confrontation with Rallowan's group, then later on with Darrin and Elijah and the others. I would like Rowan to eventually take over as Warrior.

[Dannflower Reguba]

       Hence why I plan around goals for specifically my character, and why I entertain so many... Especially when not a lot of the end game is public knowledge.

[Ashleg]

Twisty's goals are pretty clearly publicly-known, so I don't need to even bother stating them. 

That said, depending on how things unravel, he can either go down a dark road, or a lighter one. Of course, that can be said for any of these characters, but... you catch my drift.

[The Skarzs]

Hey, Dan. Maybe another idea is for Twisty to run off with Raleigh away from Darrin's group, and it gets heated between them. Then she has to try to find a way to get away from him, and runs into one of the other groups, be it Darrin, Elijah, or Rallowan or Hacklaw, even.

[Dannflower Reguba]

       Well, if nothing else, this idea certainly intrigues me. However, I will say that I'm enjoying the group dichotomy with Raleigh in the midst of the vermin horde. Problem is there are now only two player characters within the horde to bounce any interactions with meaning off of. I know at one point I really wanted to have her attempt escaping, only to lack the stamina to make it far enough away before she plummets from a tree... At which point she sustains an injury? I hadn't thought of that before... I'd also entertained the idea that her sleep issues came into play one night, at which point one of the other vermin is awoken and "xyz" happens resulting in "zyx.".... New thought, if Hacklaw (or even Rallowan for that matter) got their dirty paws on Raleigh, they would have a bargaining chip for both the Redwallers and (as a result of Twisty's loud mouth and lack of foresight) on Darrin's group via Twisty. Granted, this idea gets rather shallow considering that Darrin wouldn't think twice about just leaving, taking advantage of the ensuing chaos to make his getaway... Hello headache my old friend. -_-

[Ashleg]

Just putting out there that Twisty can be caught by Hacklaw at some point further down the line. Probably with the intention to kill him, but he begs to be spared (and... gets his wish, in turn for spying on Darrin, or helping them find him. Or sommat.)

This could even happen if Raleigh got caught because you darn well know he'd be after her. But it doesn't have to. At all. I'm spitballing.

[Dannflower Reguba]

       Spitballing is good, and that's certainly a functional idea. There are so many at this point, I can't figure out which one interests me the most. XD

EDIT: On a side note, I'm not sure how I feel about Rowan adopting the Abbey Warrior role. I don't want to step on other people's ideas, but her character doesn't match up with that of the warrior. She's temperamental, assumptive, and still has some significant mid-RP growth to go through yet. Obviously it's not up to me, but I really feel like her character is much better suited for the role she currently fills, a lot less liability involved... And just to clarify, this has nothing to do with how any characters are being played, my assessment here is solely based off of how the character's are supposed to be presented.

[The Skarzs]

Hmm. @Cornflower MM would really have the final say on that. Personally, I liked the idea because it would have Rowan grow as a character, which is why I presented it to Corn.
