you could have mentioned that it was a paintball gun BEFORE I said that the "bullet" went through the demon's shoulder, Jakob. now it just looks silly.

With respect Gareeku, it doesn't say the bullet went through his shoulder. All it says is that he's been hit in the shoulder - I would certainly have flagged it myself otherwise

It also says he's apparently bleeding - which it would given that it's a blood-coloured paintball - and he's in a certain amount of pain, which he would be, although obviously not as much as if it was live ammo. However the demon isn't going to realise that straight away, which gives a distraction for the others to use.

Yes, I could have said it was an airgun disguised as a revolver, but I was a bit too eager to hold on to the surprise, such as it as. Jakob tends to rely on illusion rather than actual violence, and given how much he hates guns, a real one would be out of character for him. How..ever, making someone think he's killed them is just what he'd do.

What Gar seems to be irritated at is not so much the failing to mention the gun being a paintball gun in the first place so much as the silliness of the action.

Distracting him so Gareeku can get a blow in? I'm afraid I fail to see how that's silly. I'll grant you it's being done in an unorthodox manner, but that's Jakob for you. Arguably you would want to do something weird in order to distract your foe for longer.

*Sigh* I've only opened the rp for not even a day and already people are throwing their opinions around in a heavy handed fashion. Ok, fine, I'll change my post.

In the future, can you PLEASE NOTIFY ME OF THESE THINGS. That way I actually know what's going on.

IMHO your post seemed to work - to be honest, I thought you'd figured it out

Gareeku · October 04, 2007, 05:04:29 AM

No I hadn't "figured it out". Don't just assume that people know what's happening, but sometimes they don't.

I swear I mentioned this trick via PM. Though I guess that would have been almost a year ago. You're right, I should really have PM'd you again to make absolutely certain.

**EDIT**
Obviously I have no idea if this is the guy we're after, but he's powerful enough to make Jakob think he probably is.

I bet the bounty on him is really high too!

Gabi · October 04, 2007, 10:25:00 AM

Oops! I didn't notice the RP was back until Gareeku told me! I don't have time today, but I'll try to catch up tomorrow.

Sorry, I still have a very busy life but I also still want to play!

Gareeku · October 04, 2007, 10:41:53 AM

That's ok Gabi, just jump in when you're ready ^^

Gabi · October 05, 2007, 10:40:54 PM

Yay, I've made a post! And about 20 minutes before the day ended! (For me, of course.)

Tapewolf · October 06, 2007, 05:34:20 AM

QuoteThen she received Jakob's answer. She wondered how he'd done that; no one else had ever projected thoughts into her mind, Cubi or not. But he could do many surprising things and now was not the time to contemplate them. He could read minds, so he probably knew who needed her the most. She decided to follow his advice.

Heh... actually it's about the third time he's done that to Gabi. It took a bit more time and concentration the first couple of times so I'm assuming he's getting used to doing it...

Gabi · October 06, 2007, 07:34:42 AM

Yes, I know. She still wonders how he does that, though. He never explained.

Good... I was afraid you'd forgotten. It was a while ago, after all. Perhaps Gabi should ask him when they have some kind of respite.

Tapewolf · October 09, 2007, 04:19:02 PM

Keaton, what's your character look like at the moment? Is she visibly a succubus (presumably, since the countermagic stuff earlier would likely have stuffed her shapeshifting) and if so, is her clan-marking visible?

Hm? Well, after looking back, Keaton fused her wings in her back before she started fighting with Ignatz/Stygian (she used her wing-tentacles to pry off the door), and Jakob witnessed that, so he noticed that she is, indeed, a Succubus. Also, her clan marking, which is on her right hip, is not visible.

So no, she isn't a visible Succubus.

Ok, thanks. So when he turns his attention to her, he'll know that she is a succubus, but he won't know she's a Jyraneth. I ask because of the Jyraneth tendency to carve the clan-mark on themselves...

Paladin Sheppard · October 10, 2007, 12:13:42 AM

Just letting ya'll know I'm going to be away as of tomorrow (11/10/07) for about three weeks. Sorry for the short notice but this crept up on me.

As for Eph if someone wants to take her for for the moment shes just a little knocked around and concussed, but otherwise in good health.

If not we'll just leave her in the background.

James StarRunner · October 10, 2007, 12:52:27 AM

I just talked to Pal. I'll handle his character, Eph, while he's away.

Gabi · October 10, 2007, 05:52:05 PM

Alright, take care, Pal.

I guess I'll be interacting with James the player whatever my character does, then.

Gareeku · October 11, 2007, 08:55:41 AM

Take care Pal. See you when you get back.

On another note, can I please ask everyone next time to READ EACH OTHER'S POSTS. Case in point; the assassins who attacked while the interrogation was happening. Thanks to not reading each other's posts, they were killed about 5 times over, leading to it looking very stupid.

It's not rocket science guys. Please, use some common sense for Christ's sake.

James StarRunner · October 11, 2007, 11:43:34 AM

Perhaps I do need to reread it. All I saw was Sty go trigger happy on one, Aisha boomerang another, Jakob merely stunning the only other one, and then me giving him more to be stunned about.

edit- Meh... my bad, I didn't read Keaton's well enough.

Tapewolf · October 11, 2007, 12:46:12 PM

Slight flub there James, Keaton whispered about the Angel thing. I didn't notice that before, she may have changed it.

James StarRunner · October 11, 2007, 12:53:17 PM

I caught that part, but wasn't an error.

And for the record, James, I am deeply apologetic for any and all nastiness that Keaton produces towards your character. XD *pokes her fingers together* Jeez. I hate bigots, and yet the character who my penname is based off of is a bigot. wtf I should not have done that.

llearch n'n'daCorna · October 11, 2007, 01:28:58 PM

Well, you -could- play with it, and hope she gets her come-uppance? And maybe work towards re-educating her?

Just a thought...

James StarRunner · October 11, 2007, 02:24:04 PM

Hehehe... It's quite all right Keaton. In character is different from out of character. And really? You nailed it pretty good, he is like a whiny kid. XD

He still has to develop more.

Tapewolf · October 11, 2007, 02:53:38 PM

Originally it was going to be third-time lucky on the gloves, with Jakob only able to get one effect per glove and giving him a pair, one for each wing

James StarRunner · October 11, 2007, 02:57:36 PM

Oh... whoops. XD

I thought it was supposed to be the other glove next. No wonder why I was thrown off.

llearch n'n'daCorna · October 11, 2007, 03:08:16 PM

Look on the bright side - now you can be Mr Jackson... ;-]

James StarRunner · October 11, 2007, 03:12:54 PM

Heh... Magical or not, I'd still wear the other glove. My one glove 'Jackson' days are over. The old set were originally two gloves as well, just one was lost when he was young.

Just a thought...

Re-education would be good for her character development, yes, but Keaton would need a rather large kick in the butt for that. My primary concern is that she had already overcome her prejudice of Angels in the Castle RP, so I don't want to repeat that element. I'll probably play around with this a bit more... though she probably will have to make some sort of reformation in the future, otherwise she'll be grating on everyone's nerves. x3
