As stated in my character background, I am a loyal citizen of Kryta (and a sleeper agent of Her Majesty Queen Jennah's Seraph). There'll be conflict! dun dun dun!

Haha of course plz be understanding that I'm not always in character

Reminder of RP session tonight 6PM server at Lion's Shadow Inn in LA!
rep in PvC for communication

I will likely take not stay in a tavern all night and will be running around LA evading officials? we'll see.

You're welcome to take sides with or against me, it is surely more interesting if there's some conflict. Or create a separate storyline with others who are free

[DRKAugumon]

Nah, still don't care enough to make Flora have her own opinion <3

Update for tonight

- At the Lion's Shadow Inn, Reina is packing her belongings and preparing for the journey ahead under the watchful eye of Vinava. Necros Stalker (Calagito) happens to be looking for a place to rest after his return from Orr and overhears Reina mention Orr. After being under the wary scrutiny of the two, he warns them of dangers and offers his expertise as a guide in Orr.
Upon Necros leaving the inn, soon after, the inn's door is kicked down by a bounty hunter searching for Reina Takayama, alerting them to the posters pinned up around the city. He knocks out the rest of the patrons with gas grenades including Flora Tenderleaf who came to investigate the commotion knowing it is where Mia and Reina stays. Reina and Vinava hide while the bounty hunter (Captain Tumbles) plants bombs around the inn, only concerned for the bounty. They manage to escape under Reina's stealth and clone magic and run towards the caves nearby.
Stumbling in, they realize it is an ogre's den and manage to hide in the deepest part of the caves climbing up rock walls. Captain Tumbles interrogates a waking Flora Tenderleaf about Reina's whereabouts and tries to recruit her in his bounty hunting. She refuses and manages to escape after an argument. Vinava and Reina, meanwhile, realize they need to leave the city and dodging past the angry ogres, they follow the waterway out. There, they see Flora Tenderleaf who had tracked them from the voices of the ogres and Flora leads the party, telling them the bounty hunter knew the captains at the docks and has gone to talk to Captain Diegovich.
Believing that the plan to sail  to Orr with Diegovich may be compromised, she claims to know how to leave the city safely and together they swim across the harbour, climbing to the top of the heights at Diverse Ledges. Long realizing that they were being possibly tailed by other bounty hunters, Flora suddenly pushes Reina off the cliff to her supposed death much to Vinava's shock and grief. Flora and Vinava fight and the Sylvari ends up falling off the cliff, but in reality, joins Reina in a safe ledge and small cavern as Flora had instructed.
Vinava is left to grieve over Reina's death and his failure of his obligations to fulfill the duties of his dead Canthan comrades. Word is leaked that Reina is dead and leaves many bounty hunters looking for her corpse and still, some others suspicious of the happenings. For the most part, there are less searching for an alive Reina. Flora and Reina begin to devise a plan to gather other trustworthy party members steal Captain Diegovich's ship to make their escape from the city. (August 25th)

I tried, but it's not possible if its written in sentence form bc it'll leave out details. Point form or notes that cover the major things also won't make sense bc there's no transition from one to the next and will appear to be random events

[Vinava]

It went a bit rough with afk-ness and some mistakes. I think it went along fine and alright, it was fun. Let's look forward to the next event for an even better RP experience

[Reina Takayama]

That's what the timeline is for kinda haha smoothing/polishing up the summary

[Derran Serrak]

It's a shame I missed all that, sorry guys. For future RP events, keep in mind that Saturday nights are now FAR better for me than Sunday nights, and that I won't be available next weekend. Also, we'll have to figure out when Mia finds/joins Rei and Flora.

So next saturday you can't?

Also, we'll likely be looking for you and Vinava (or whoever else) when we're ready instead, because we are "devising a plan" to get out of the city

[Necros Stalker]

XD. all this sounds awesome. Love how yesterday turned out and it seems everything went well. I quite like it. Wish I could have played a bigger part but . Keep up the good work guys

[Derran Serrak]

no i cnt next saturday. sorry.... after t I should be available just about every saturday night

[DRKAugumon]

which sucks cuz any weekend after this coming one i can not guarentee i will be available =.="

[Reina Takayama]

Hmmmm.... which day of the week is best if not saturday/weekend?

On the other hand, here's some lore to consider... even though people's schedules might mean less development towards our ultimate lore goals but:

Quote

if you haven't seen it, this is a super long video but it REALLY REALLY is intriguing and a lot of evidence throughout the game.

https://www.youtube....h?v=oiMFEqz3GQ4

Pretty much, thaumanova meltdown = rifts between time and space, alternate realities (i.e. portalling in various creatures from diff parts of tyria with debuff "disoriented" and repeating occurences of steam creatures, sky of thaumanova being a huge portal, while there are spots across diff maps in tyria like Lornar's Pass, Brisband Wildlands, mysterious hole/cavern Iron Marches, which refers to thaumanova and has inquest or asura survivors/portals/steamcreatures/chaos energy)

Asura personal story with infinity ball shows portals that port in steam creatures once again, and then a duplicate of the asura player character dressed in things that seems aether-ish who claims to be high ruling in their alternate dimension, who inspires NPC Shodd to continue research with this alternate reality stuff.

Then we see Scarlet and ties with inquest, and Aetherblades with their own unique set of uniforms and technology who are also tied with inquest, who are spawning with steam creatures in our current Living story. Hence, these minions of hers are actually from an alternate dimension?

Everything is more tied in than we might think, and this is a very strong video showing a lot of details most of players miss...

really intriguing. and we're going to see a lot more. It's really nice to see what anet is doing with the general lore.

Somehow it may tie back into dragons or something sometime.... like with Scarlet, and the short story we just got, and potential of Sylvari or Nightmare court being related to the forest / jungle dragon Mordremoth's awakening

don't read if you don't want spoilers, but this is my semi-plan for RP or my novel...?

Spoiler

Essentially taking this info and pieceing it together, I'd like to say my storyline which goes to Orr will lead to the original Bloodstone lore, which then I will tie into Thaumanova and CoE and consider a bloodstone shard collected from Maguuma Jungle as an accidental source of the powerful time/space rifts after experimentation. In turn the bloodstone and powerful magical distortion will attract the awakening of the forest dragon, and the awakening of sylvari nightmare court as corrupted dragon minions. something like that XD

I don't think that the Nightmare court are dragon minions even if everyone else does It seems to easy a cop out when A-net could use it as an opportunity to try and show off. And what would that make of the Soundless?

[DRKAugumon]

not saying weekends WONT work for me, but since school is starting on Tuesday i'm just saying i can't guarantee i'll be free ;x

Well, its because its obvious that its possible, bc we have no indication of forest dragon influences/spawns except nightmare court or stuff like that. Meanwhile, the sea dragon could have possibly pushed the krait, quaggans and more recently the karka up towards mainlands from the sea. It's possibly nightmare court listen to this "nightmare" but they don't truly know what it is, or has made connections yet bc the forest dragon isn't fully awakened yet. It's just speculation though. I'm willing to believe in it though, because it is the only lead we have so far. Scarlet's short story only makes it more convincing that the sylvari ,dream, nightmare have to do with the dragon. As well, as the sylvari new player introductory event, has a dragon in the Dream but its possible that it is actually the forest dragon, there were many player posts about how peculiar the minions seemed and so on, and other possible evidence that it is actually the forest dragon not just the generic elder dragons. But in this case of this RP we're just going with fictional stuff haha, its not even speculation just our own fanfiction

I'm calling a quick RP session tomorrow (Sunday night) at 6pm server (9 pm EDT), all who can make it feel free. We'll just progress the storyline forward a bit.

[UltraEM]
