Availability: If anyone's interested in joining, ask one of us about it, but keep in mind this is a flashback thread.

Posting Speed: Whatever.

Characters Involved: Soneya, Anther, Erryl

Thread starting date: Winter 124

Location: Near the marketplace in Marn. http://www.tharshaddin.com/rp/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3157

Summary: Three teenagers with quite different world views unexpectedly meet and probably end up getting themselves into all kinds of trouble. Yay, teenagers! What's there not to love?

Other Notes:

[Katona]

So we still need to decide: where to start it, when it occurs, where they are in their life at this point, why they end up talking to each other, and maybe where we want it to lead.

I was thinking either in the Residential area or maybe they're at a market. One suggestion was that Soneya recognizes Erryl because they used to go to school together, is looking at him at the time, and Anther decides to steal something from him which Soneya notices. As for why she would be looking at Erryl: he stands out a little bit, but also Soneya probably heard what happened to his parents.

Sorry I was going to write something else but I lost my train of thought. Anyway, yeah, post your ideas. Who wants to post first? I was thinking it could be set like spring or autumn 124? Erryl/Soneya would be around 15, Anther 17.

Sounds good to me the way you've put this down! A market seems like a sound idea since there is always quite a mingle of people, so Soneya wouldn't be noticed looking at Erryl, nor would Anther be noticed stealing from Erryl, except of course that by chance some young girl with overbearing emotions is currently watching the victim.

I'm thinking that I should probably not go first though since Soneya is only observing the action and then jumping in rather than actually starting it all up. But I don't really mind either way.

[Katona]

If you want to post first, you certainly can, as you can always write a scene-setting post, like why Soneya is there, who she might be with if anyone, what's been going on in her life, even some "flashback within flashback" kinda descriptions of relevant stuff surrounding her life at the time.

I was thinking maybe winter might be fun. Maybe a particularly bad one in comparison to normal winters (from what I've read, the extra tilt of the planet should contribute to seasons being particularly homogenous the year round, without a whole lot of variety like we experience today. Contrarily, what you do experience tends to be more extreme -- so around the equator would be very hot, while far north or south nearer to the poles would be very cold). I figure they don't usually see much snow, and what they do get melts quickly, so what if they had like an inch of snowfall that didn't go away for a week? Might cause some panic because of how unusual it is, and it would certainly cause Anther to make mistakes or act out of desperation (the way he usually dresses would not do well for cold).

Thoughts?

[Katona]

Oh yeah, that's pretty interesting. I like that idea.

[Soneya]

I love the idea of winter and a bit of unusual snowfall! :-)

[Saruna]

Winter, 124 sound good? I can start the thread.

[Katona]

Go ahead! And you can change the name of this thread when you name it, right?

[Soneya]

All good!
Can't wait to get started! :-D

[Saruna]

Done! Edited the first post with the link to the new thread.

[Katona]

Brilliant, Kat. I'm going to be posting tomorrow night (after I get done with this maths test tomorrow).

[Saruna]

Autoed on Erryl, let me know if there's anything you want changed.

[Saruna]

Unless Erryl needs more time on the street I think we're ready for a change of scenery! Maybe either right to the front of wherever or just inside? With Anther getting so cold my options for thought/description are shrinking!

[Soneya]

Hmmm yeah, we could just lug him off to an inn close by? Cold as he is, he might not refuse all too much if Soneya (and Erryl?) dragged him along? What do you think?
