Bitty Boat Adventures Plotting Post

[gordianknots]

To clarify from this entry: Boat adventure! The proposal is that everyone aboard Rider's sweet flying boat will be gone from 24-31 January. The ship in question is a flying version of the Golden Hind.

My plan is to make a log for the entire week, and put threads up for days 1/2, 3/4, 5, 6/7, with notes on what kind of area the ship will be passing over for each thread. Then everyone can have at with whatever they’d like to do. Day 5 will be the ship reaching the top of the mountain, so everyone can see the void that’s on the other side.

This whole thing is intended to be a chance for CR in a different environment than the city usually offers, but if people want to have other stuff happen (such as heading down into the forest and encountering creatures there etc.) then by all means, use this opportunity.

If you have questions/concerns/etc. this is also definitely the place for them.

So while Waver's chartering things, he's pretty useless in terms of doing anything more than research. He will, however, probably be re-enacting the bow scene of the Titanic screaming "SCIENCE!" so there's definitely that.

And obviously if you need things clarified I am the person to talk to.

Okay, quick question here: what position do you think Paradox ended up landing? I'll be fine with anything, even if it's just swabbing the decks.

[gordianknots]

Ah right she did get the crew liason position!

I really should actually update that list.

[hellburner]

Good lord, I am just so sorry.

Rider will straight up take no sass directed at her upon the deck of her baby, and she may well be more of a holy terror than usual.

Yes, she's really Francis Drake. No, don't ask me why.

blood for the boat god

So basically what all of this means is "who wants to sass the captain"

[waywardbird]

jason "sass" todd reporting for duty

hi i'm queenie it's lovely to meet you uvu

[leekspins]

Any time you want Orihime following her around learning about how a ship works (and also swashbuckling skills), she is so there. She thinks Rider's the coolest person pretty much ever so far!

[all_onis_are_true]

I'll consider Hiroshi on this, but I'll have to see how well he comes out of the other side of the log he's in at the moment.

[gordianknots]

No rush, dude!

[notadillop]

Oh gosh, can Septimus go? He would love this. Like, a lot because he's been on a flying boat in canon before.

[gordianknots]

Yes, of course! Everything's super open to participation, this is just here to get a headcount and let people plan stuff out if they have things in mind.

[bifroster]

This is going to be so much fun :D

Count Jane in screaming "SCIENCE!!" too!

[gordianknots]

MUCH SCIENCE

VERY BEAKER

WOW!!!

i'm so sorry

[chiabrows]

Lamont will uncharacteristically be keeping to himself because of Guilt, but anyone is free to pester him, especially new CR!! \o/

[ceded]

you know what i'm commenting here bc i'm gonna abruptly uproot all my plans and throw Dave on the boat adventure

at least this one he won't be stranded on for 3 straight years

[gordianknots]

BEGIN THE "WAIT DON'T YOU MEAN DAVESPI-- wait no i'm not even allowed to say anything now since i have tiny female me on this boat"

[humanwelfare]

Okay, sign Erwin up for the science boat trip!

[gordianknots]

I'm so glad Erwin is on science boat you don't even know.

come to us sir

possibly complain about inferior mapmaking skills

[twin_paradox]

You okay having Paradox signed up for this one?

[gordianknots]

yes, god, I thought I replied to the thread with confirmation I'M SO DAMN SORRY LOTUS.

[ordnungsliebe]

Ingrid wasn't around for the original announcement, but after talking to Fox, we decided Erwin invited her along, if that's all right!

[gordianknots]

Yeah, that's cool.

[leekspins]

Just putting this here in case anyone wants to plot something. Plots are not necessary for CR, though, just slap me upside the head with a tag!

[gordianknots]

Psssst. Waver and Orihime definitely need to talk more. Any idea for what day?

[untilavalon]

SORRY I'M LATE GUYS but the only one on the ship is Saber this round, since Kat's stuck in the catacombs.

She has mentioned she doesn't like the sea or sailing, but this is the sky, so expect her to be a bit more inquisitive!


....And make sure you perform your duties, or you might get a good scolding. B-rank Charisma isn't just for show. She will make you do it if she catches you slacking.

She'll likely be working in the rigging with Lancer since she's so freaking small or performing other such duties-- in fact I think it'd be guaranteed hilarious if anyone scoped her out to do certain things just because she's small and strong as fuq.
