The King's Gambit

[nici-kitty]

Hello! This roleplay sounds intriguing. Are you still accepting characters?

[Arietta]

@nici-kitty: Yup! The open positions are listed on the main page.

UPDATE: Since we seem to have trouble getting enough characters to start, everyone already accepted is allowed to take one more character. I will not take reservations on these characters: just submit them and I'll pick the ones I like best. First characters are given priority over second characters for the same position, if all else is equal.

Must...join...Can I have the White Bishop or Black Pawns? It'll be a guy just to keep the gender ratio equal, but that's already pretty even, yeah?

And I made Vivaldi Veiled, Arietta. Or did you want to do it on Livejournal?

[Arietta]

Lia~
You made me a druggie bishop. Thank you.
(Even though I clearly ordered you to. And you still make pretty-boy characters for everything.)

As for Vivaldi, I wanted to LJ it to avoid making so many character profiles. But either way is fine.
PM, please? Sorry, I don't want to bother anyone with extra spam.

Oops, I'm very sorry I haven't posted yet. The post didn't appear as new in the roleplays tab as you just edited the accidental post. I'm posting now. Very sorry.

[Arietta]

@Planter777: No, don't worry about it. I was actually going to leave that post to fester for a few days before PMing all of you, so that I could edit it before getting everyone else involved. But since you found it - thank you - I guess we'll begin now, then.

[sparkleshine]

Yay! We started!

Also, I'm wondering if maybe my character (Maria) could have known Lori and Deme already? Lori is a gangster type already which means that my character (also in a gang) has probably at least heard of her. Maybe they could be from the same gang...or rival gangs :)

As for Deme, she's not likely to know him well but maybe she's seen him around once or twice, whilst he was buying the drugs from her gang?

Just an idea or two :)

[Liachann]

Sparkleshine...you are epic. *stares at post* My new goal is to roleplay that well someday, haha!

I think it would be interesting if we had that kind of acquaintance there already, especially if they don't really know each other. So that's fine with me. :)

Esana~ Can we have a horrible relationship (wow, vague) between our characters? Deme seems like the kind of feminine boy that Ryan could never stand. XDD

[Esana]

Horrible...Lol, like I can't stand you? xD Yeah I can imagine that happening...we'll see what happens....I kinda feel like getting pissed at the Abby cause she poked Ryan. D: (I love you Planter777, but Ryan does not like getting poked...definitely not.)

I like the idea of Ryan getting mad at Abby. He probably won't like her too much early on anyway. Besides, in her surprise Abby will probably leap away and knock over all the chairs like dominoes.

[sparkleshine]

Yay!

I thought that Maria waking up with a headache and being grouchy at Ryan would make for a fun dynamic later :D. Out of curiosity, whereabouts on the map are we? I'm kind of guessing we're in the blue parlor, but I'm not 100% certain. Are there any other exits in this room?

[Esana]

We're in the blue parlor on the first floor. As for exits...I think there are the double doors and there might be a side entrance near the back...Arietta, you wanna confirm?

(And fun ~ I get to get more angry. xD)

...Btw, just wanted to say that the person I'm trying to take revenge against is Matt...not Tom (sorry if I misread that, planter777).

~ Esa

[Planter777]

I know that, but Tom doesn't. And Rose did tell him to take Matt to see what was happening (which is why Tom is there too), and then when they arrive Ryan throws a chair at them and charges. Tom has no idea what's going on and decides to defend himself and his coworker in the best nonlethal fashion he can think of, hence the attempted tasering. I think that explains it, unless of course I've missed something which is entirely possible.

Ehh, sorry I took so long to post. I started off waiting for someone else to post and then got dragged off for the weekend. What's happening with this game? Is it still going ahead? It seems to have gotten awfully quiet :(

[Esana]

I think we're still going. Just so that everyone knows. For the next four days, I might not get on, because I have a LOT to do, so...xD Don't feel like you have to wait for me, and I'll get back to this ASAP
