No, Grace, the stuff with Conner is actually really good material! There's tons of stuff there you can work with. She can have nightmares, not trust herself with a gun, etc. All that affects the main story and the group. Even if she still doesn't want to talk about it to the others, that's totally realistic. And you're not pushy if you make stuff happen. That's the beauty of a roleplay. Everyone has different ideas, and (as long as we work together and make sure it all makes sense) you can surprise everyone else by having a new idea come in. Everyone has something to offer, it's just tons more fun when we all work together with our ideas.
I know how awkward it can be to be a new roleplayer. But if you need help with ideas or something for your character to do, you can just ask, "Hey, I don't know what to do right now, what would be good for my character to do?" And we can say "hey, what if they were such-and-such?" There's a place for everyone, even if you're learning.
I'll keep the stuff about Conner in there then, she's definitely not going to use a gun again if she can help it tho and nightmares is giving me a good idea :3… I really like roleplaying but I'm not the type of person to ask others what to have my character(s) do, I'm trying to be more open and ask for help but it might take me awhile to change how I think and work right now
That's totally okay! And you never have to do what other people suggest. It just helps to ask for help. Like with the nightmare idea, not you have something to make up with that!
Help helps.
It really does :3
But yeah. It'd be good to head back to Claire's place maybe.
oke, I'll probably have Fiona catch up to them soon, maybe just after they leave or something
Alrighty. But Imma be doing some stuff. So…
oke, I gtg figure out what classes I want to take next year…yay me…
….Should I take German or French for a foreign language? I know I don't want to take Spanish because I don't understand that language at all
Take german. It's more interesting.
Okay y'all. I can't keep playing in this rp without pointing out a huge issue everyone in here has: none of you play off each others' characters well at ALL. Most of you may as well be just writing your own little story all by yourself. The point of a roleplay is to write a story TOGETHER. But when hardly any of the characters interact in any meaningful way, there's no point. I don't mind driving the general plot, but y'all need to play off me. I had Erin open up about her heartache to Fiona and Fiona was just like "no i don't care about y'all i want to be by myself". You can't have characters just LEAVE the main roleplay direction. Now we basically have two RPs going on: the main group, and then Fiona and Darren off by themselves. Erin's mentioned SEVERAL times about her past and her 'job' and she obviously knows too much to be an average person yet NONE of the other characters have been like, "hey, wait, who are you even? Why are you telling us what to do?" Molly is only ever mad at everyone, and never suspicious or protective in any way that means anything (from what I know of her, Bucky, she shouldn't be letting Erin run the show since none of them know Erin). Right now, Claire is basically dead weight. She's free from Henry, she shouldn't be holding onto it so bad. She should be happy and excited to be free of him and to help the others. The only other interesting thing that's going on (even more interesting than Erin taking them to safety, honestly), is Apollyon. And more characters should be trying to help her out and figure out what's going on with her.
I'm not mad at any of y'all, I'm just trying to show you how bad this roleplay is right now. I've been seriously roleplaying for about eight years and I've been in some really, absolutely awesome RPs. And they're good because each person's characters play off the other characters. There HAS to be real, meaningful interaction, otherwise the story is just dead.
I was super excited to get back into roleplaying on this website and Bucky wanted me to be here and all, but if this story isn't even doing anything, then I don't want to waste my time being here. I can't write this whole thing on my own, I need y'all to work with me.
Guess I was the only one who took offense in this. Alright. Have fun guys.
Wait– are you leaving? Wot!!!?
No XD I just said have fun. lol. You guys can have fun 'fixing' your peeps XD I ain't leaving!
Ookay… Read that wrong after having the slight idea that almost– ALMOST– everyone on this site has either anxiety or depression or is depressed….
But yeah. Claire needs a little changing now that I REALLY think about it.
Okay :P I agree everyone needs development, but I think I took it the wrong way. lol. Okie.
Btw, I wont be on much for the rest of January (personal reasons) but I'll probably check in every now and then :P I'll be more active in Feb
heads up again I wont be on much (I'll be on as much as I'm allowed to) from the 16th to the 19th because I'm going to Washington D.C.
I'll let everyone know again next Wednesday before I leave :)
YAY WASHINGTON!! hope you have a great time!!!
I remember going to washington DC…. It was probably the best experience I ever had.
