- [02:51:34] Dark So Shadow, regarding the sandbox thing from (yesterday? sunday?), Starr and I (and Khya) got into an extended dev session and it kind of morphed into a huge interstellar conspiracy plot
- [02:51:44] Keileon ^
- [02:52:13] Dark I have some sicc stuff written in a gdoc too
- [02:53:22] Dark also some cool stuff planned to explain why Mirah is... shall we say, unhinged
- [02:55:15] Dark Like, the connotations of what exactly is going on behind the scenes is something I could easily make a whole CP season out of
- [02:55:40] Shadow Oh?
- [02:56:07] Dark and it all came to me while listening to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d0OW0TbptQ
- [02:56:48] Dark https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xTAL6ezgAnNjuyWEAmXZ3ndQy3255F9A56c8HyCeRV8/edit stuff written down so far. there's more but I haven't made notes for it yet
- [02:57:39] Dark The way Starr and I added on to it is that Dean is both using the Sarkiri AND the Society of Faces at the same time to conquer Ferona
- [02:57:43] Keileon The "key plot points" aren't something I think should be so specifically planned out btw
- [02:57:53] Dark It's a general thing
- [02:58:09] Dark obviously it can be changed, it's just for me to remember a rough event sequence
- [02:58:14] Keileon ah, k
- [03:00:43] Dark And yes, Starr and I did enter into in some sicc Sadistic Seven dev and decide that JAck is Ferona's Two
- [03:01:20] Dark Two is the "scout class" which given Jack's body design and skill set, fits him perfectly in Prime
- [03:01:52] Shadow Interesting
- [03:02:55] Dark The Mirah thing isn't written down yet but the gist is this: There's an as-yet undeveloped place where Dean and Sarkiri send their "undesirables"; people they view as threats. Mirah wasn't always as unhinged as she is, it's being sent there that made her that way
- [03:04:33] Dark She was still somewhat sadistic, but she acknowledged there were limits back then. Not so much anymore.
- [03:08:44] Dark This is somewhat of an inversion of Emma and Vale's CoU intro; instead of fighting the SS, you're helping them, through Henri
- [03:09:12] Shadow This doesn't quite seem like a "sandbox" in the true sense anymore, but I'm liking it nonetheless
- [03:09:41] Dark Does it really need to be though?
- [03:09:49] Dark (i may just want to do stuff on ferona :L)
- [03:09:55] Keileon That was kind of the point of the whole thing, but
- [03:10:29] Shadow My point. It's not a sandbox but a "Ferona plot", is what I'm saying. Not like there's anything inherently bad with it, though
- [03:11:32] Dark The problem with doing a true sandbox on Ferona is that it IS too rigid, and I'm willing to admit that. That's going to be hard to fix effectively though because I don't have the advantage Euthora had.
- [03:12:16] Shadow In fact if people want to carry out an established storyline more power to them. We notably lack those--not in the sense they don't /exist/, but in the sense they haven't even /happened/
- [03:13:23] Keileon So basically this is our storyline RPG roleplay
- [03:13:35] Dark It's good that you're at least interested, though. I guess I was kinda wrong about being bad at this.
- [03:13:52] Keileon dark that's literally what I've been telling you
- [03:14:35] Keileon Do we want a sandbox in /addition/ to this Ferona thing?
- [03:14:52] Dark Here's the thing, though: if it's not a sandbox and people crave sandbox, how often will I get to dive in to it with people?
- [03:14:59] Dark Actually, idea
- [03:15:15] Dark Who says the overall sandbox necessarily has to /begin/ on Ferona?
- [03:15:26] Shadow I'm interested in the setting, but I don't see myself in this yet. I'd have to consider some possibilities first
- [03:15:32] Keileon (sidebar; Dark can you idle soon?)
- [03:15:40] Dark Like I said, I could easily work up the material for a whole season.
- [03:16:01] Dark Yeah I can Khya
- [03:16:06] Keileon kk
- [03:16:15] Dark I'd need to before WQednesday anyway, because I might be helping my sister move
- [03:17:10] Dark I mean, I've obviously got Khya and Starr hooked already, and it's good that you're at least liking the setting
- [03:17:18] Dark Giga will probably be a bit harder
- [03:17:32] Keileon I do notice that Giga likes sandboxes in general
- [03:17:35] Shadow Also whether we want an actual sandbox is all up to you guys. My suggestion was just to have more things happening in the Manaverse
- [03:17:47] Shadow More showing, less telling
- [03:17:49] Keileon CoU obviously, but newcanon and even that T13 thing
- [03:18:45] Keileon We could just-- ooooh
- [03:18:57] Dark Since this directly involved a Henri that's more active in trying to find Emma, it has the direct possibility of dragging Starr out of her Prime semi-1x1s
- [03:19:06] Keileon Start up a sandbox and the Ferona plot, ultimately work towards merging the two
- [03:19:30] Keileon That way we have crosscanon lore and backstory and the two will likely have the sam players anyway
- [03:19:35] Keileon *same
- [03:19:45] Dark That's an idea
- [03:20:20] Shadow >>>the two parties can clash
- [03:20:23] Keileon ^
- [03:20:24] Shadow you have my attention
- [03:20:40] Keileon Here's A Thing
- [03:20:41] Dark The Ferona plot has the distinct possibility of making Mirah return to being more sane, which is an odd prospect
- [03:21:07] Keileon Dean's using the Sarkiri and the Society of Faces
- [03:21:19] Keileon I want to develop Ceskion, preferably via roleplaying
- [03:21:33] Keileon The party for Ferona Plot will be working against Dean
- [03:21:41] Dark Hoyl shit idea
- [03:21:54] Keileon The party for Ceskion would likely mostly comprised of Sarkiri or their allies
- [03:22:00] Keileon *be
- [03:22:33] Dark Since the SoF hates beast races, one way we could eventually merge the two is by having the two turn against each other and the party from Ferona Plot join one of them
- [03:22:34] Keileon Make the two crossover
- [03:22:51] Keileon Also I forget what the SoF is anyway
- [03:23:12] Dark There's some blurring possible there given Jack and Sam aren't exactly fond of the Sarkiri
- [03:23:13] Keileon But it's an idea yeah
- [03:23:29] Keileon >Jack is not fond of Sarkiri
- [03:23:36] Keileon >Shii-Ra/Jack dev in CoU
- [03:23:37] Keileon lolllllll
- [03:23:44] Dark Exactly
- [03:23:58] Dark I never said he'd be willing to accept one just showing up
- [03:24:07] Keileon Fantastic Racism?
- [03:24:28] Dark In this case, is it entirely unjustified? :U
- [03:24:37] Keileon It would normally be
- [03:24:55] Keileon I mean he doesn't know Shii-Ra's thre to kill him
- [03:24:58] Keileon *there
- [03:25:34] Keileon I like this idea
- [03:25:35] Dark True
- [03:25:58] Dark This is having far-reaching implication way beyond Prime
- [03:26:01] Dark I love it
- [03:26:26] Keileon Ceskion sandbox and Ferona plot running at the same time, once they both reach a certain point we incite a crossover, and then we /immediately/ have plot and conflict
- [03:26:54] Keileon What time period is this? SCT?
- [03:27:12] Keileon Pre-SCT?
- [03:28:04] Dark Henri's involved in Ferona plot so likely SCT
- [03:28:17] Keileon Alright
