The King's Players - Discussion/Planning Thread

[the phantom]

I just had to make a comment about killing your character, because just the other day when you made that post about your character taking a nap, from out of NOWHERE I had this idea to post and have my character crawl in through the window and murder Thiliel in her sleep with no explanation whatsoever.

Ha ha ha! I couldn't stop laughing for quite a while after that. I kept getting these images flashing through my mind of you sitting down at your computer and screaming, "WHAT?! NOO!!" and Mnemo sending me a PM "What are you DOING?!" and Pio reprimanding me for killing someone's character without permission.

I told Mnemo about it and she thought it would be amusing if I would pretend to seriously propose my murder idea on the discussion thread just to see what you'd say, hee hee.

Okay, I've debated about what exactly I should say so as to not stifle character or creativity, so instead I'll just ask a question and start there-

Pitch- you say Coldan is feeling like fighting.... Were you planning on just taking a swing at Aldarion, or were you planning to come after him with an actual weapon? Also, how much of my character history do you imagine Coldan knows?

[Pitchwife]

Fight as in quarrel. At the worst, depending on how much he's provoked, there may be blows (in fact, it's highly likely), but nothing like a weapon (I don't think he'd carry one) or actual bloodshed, Valar beware. We don't want our troupe damaged beyond repair, do we?

Character background - hm, he'd know of course where Aldarion came from when he joined the Players (i.e. his past career with the Swan Players) and that he has some 'connections' in Gondor, but doesn't care too much about the details, I suppose. If I've written anything that collides with your background, please alert me to it.

Or maybe if Brinn gets her crutches ready in a hurry, she can get to the common room in time to interfere and try to talk some sense into Coldan before things get violent. Might be a dramatic anticlimax, but she really has enough damage control on her hands already.

Ah, good. That puts me at ease, Pitch. Carry on. My primary worry was that Coldan would, while Aldarion was carrying his sword, attack Aldarion with a knife or something. (Given Aldarion's ambition and love for himself paired with his love of sword-play and 25+ years of training/dueling with his father and other various tutors it would be very much in character for him to successfully run an attacker through if he felt seriously threatened.)

Oh come on! I may have got somewhat carried away with my character, but I do remember we still have a play to stage, and it wouldn't do to get any of our folks killed or seriously wounded. Like I said, it'll take damage control enough already to get everybody working together again, but nothing that couldn't be done with some serious talks, I'd say.

Anyway, if you're going to post anything that demands an immediate reaction from Coldan, it should be within the next half hour; after that, I'll have to be off to bed.

PS. - Commendable presence of mind on Thiliel's part, G55!

Why, thank you.

I just had the weirdest idea for a post, to echo TP: Thiliel wakes up, yawns, and discovers that at night her head was chopped off and that now she's dead.



No, I'm not serious either.

PS: It would be left to the rest of you to decide who was the murderer. ....unless Thiliel murdered herself in her sleep...

Bahaha, this is fabulously good.

Bran may be looking for someone to hit, but he doesn't have Therian around. I'll just say if neither of you want a 3rd party coming into the looming fray, don't bump into/disturb Branor. Choice is yours and on the table though.

Which would give me the pleasure to tell you that Thiliel's ghost would haunt you until the end of your days.

Ha ha ha! I couldn't stop laughing for quite a while after that.

I can predict that I'll have random laughing fits about this for a few weeks. I can just see myself cracking up in the middle of class!
