Re: Voices In Her Head, Voices Of The Dead.
Creative mumblings.
(21:49:38) Manuel: I feel like "The Path" would be interested in Kala, maybe one of em runs into her.
(21:50:21) Manuel: Is she magical?
(21:50:35) Manuel: Like can she be sensed as magical
(21:54:08) Talia_Idris: probably
(21:54:25) Talia_Idris: if anything she carries enough stuff that could be sensed
(21:54:49) Talia_Idris: http://www.tharshaddin.com/rp/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3156
(21:54:54) Talia_Idris: that is her
(21:55:41) Talia_Idris: she is a little crazy
(21:55:54) Talia_Idris: toting around your dead sisters body can do that to you
(21:56:26) Manuel: Its k
(21:56:32) Manuel: We all a little cray
(21:58:05) Manuel: Yea, she's got the magic scent
(21:58:12) Manuel: Look forward to head voices in her head.
(21:58:24) Manuel: *hearing
(22:01:28) Talia_Idris: you mean you can hear them too
(22:01:41) Talia_Idris: thank goodness I thought they only spoke to me
(22:03:00) Manuel: XD
(22:03:10) Manuel: Hold on, hold the phone.
(22:03:22) Manuel: Brainplosion
(22:03:26) Manuel: She charms things
(22:03:35) Talia_Idris: yessssssss
(22:03:46) Manuel: The mannequins are super weak to being ordered
(22:04:11) Manuel: Do I sense one of the path being captured
(22:04:33) Talia_Idris: sounds interesting
(22:05:19) Talia_Idris: flashback or present? because at the present she is currently trapped in Marn
(22:06:17) Manuel: Hmm. It could be either.
The Path have been around for, as least a hundredish years (Really need to specify that.)
(22:06:32) Talia_Idris: oh that would be good then
(22:06:34) Manuel: Only problem about marn is that they give off mundo levels of magic
(22:06:52) Manuel: How's she trapped?
(22:07:04) Talia_Idris: well since she travels we can have it near the beginning
(22:07:05) Manuel: And would she cart around a moving magical beacon?
(22:07:17) Talia_Idris: it was stolen from her
(22:07:32) Talia_Idris: and hidden where she can't get it so she will work for the rebellion
(22:07:45) Manuel: My my.
(22:08:34) Manuel: Hmm, we could work into that, but the rebellion would be a stretch.
Since the seers would lock onto the magic mannequins like super fast.
(22:08:46) Manuel: Then battlemages and death,
(22:08:55) Manuel: Sooo, beginning sounds good.
(22:08:57) Talia_Idris: well we could always do a pre-mara post
(22:09:07) Talia_Idris: exactly
(22:09:29) Manuel: Woop woop.
(22:09:49) Talia_Idris: yay!
(22:09:59) Manuel: Butterfly (?)
Beaver (?)
Deer (Corezo)
Frog (?)
Wolf (?)
Goose (?)
Turtle (?)
Bear (?)
Crow (?)
Snake (?)
Owl (?)
Otter (?)
(22:10:16) Manuel: These are them
(22:10:30) Manuel: Currently only written as Deer, so you got choices yo
(22:10:55) Talia_Idris: link me to the character page?
(22:11:01) Manuel: Ya
(22:11:10) Manuel: http://www.tharshaddin.com/rp/viewtopic.php?t=3688
(22:13:49) Manuel: They're basically really well made mannequins, with astral beings trapped inside them.
(22:16:05) Talia_Idris: ooh sounds interesting
(22:16:28) Talia_Idris: so what would be the things that brings one of them to Kala?
(22:17:13) Manuel: I'm trying to figure out how to explain the torso.
Its like a ball and socket thing, but with one massive ball and two equally sized sockets, which would allow some flexibility.
That make sense?
(22:17:19) Manuel: Ah, 1 min.
(22:21:03) Manuel: So they basically split up and went all over the place. Picture a untiring wooden golem, that will follow the slightest hint of magic just to get answers. They have a rader for magic, but it's really vague.
So I'm picturing Owl walking and suddenly after years of no potential, they get a blip, it's faint and it's vague, but its there. They search and search, following this faint signal as long as it takes, until one day by chance they come across Kala, and the signal is suddenly boosted, she's what they're been looking for.
(22:22:13) Talia_Idris: we could have it that one of Kala's or even her mother's working charms makes its way too them and that could be how they first get an idea of where to look for her - kinda like a backstory for how they meet her
(22:22:17) Manuel: Then. The whispers start.
(22:22:29) Manuel: Yea.
(22:23:02) Manuel: Like there lingering juice on the charm.
(22:23:12) Talia_Idris: a magical signature
(22:23:14) Manuel: So it's like a compass now pointing towards her.
(22:23:41) Manuel: Sounds promising.
(22:23:41) Talia_Idris: they could even be looking for her mother but find her head but hear about how Kala has an even stronger potential since she is part elf
(22:25:07) Manuel: Yea, like "I can't help you, but my daughter could, take this."
(22:25:24) Manuel: Boom, clingy charm acquired
(22:26:42) Talia_Idris: well it probably would have to be a neighbour since someone killed mommy - unless they get to her just as she is dying and then have to chase her around or stalker her until they figure out if she actually would be any good
(22:28:44) Manuel: Hmm, that would be an even stronger connection.
Seeing the mage they just met die, then sensing something faint from her daughter.
(22:28:55) Manuel: I like where this is going.
(22:29:17) Talia_Idris: me too!
(22:30:33) Manuel: We could even tie it in.
Since her mothers death she's been hearing whispers. Boom, the whispers are partly from Owl, reaching out the only way they can.
(22:30:50) Manuel: Slowly trying to gauge her.
(22:31:22) Talia_Idris: that might work
(22:34:06) Manuel: So Talia. Yay or Nay for creating a plot discussion.
(22:34:29) Talia_Idris: YAY
(22:34:40) Talia_Idris: And call me Colours - everyone does
(22:35:00) Manuel: K. Colours it is
(22:35:57) Manuel: So Timeline?
(22:36:32) Manuel: Like year I mean.
(22:37:02) Talia_Idris: let me check
(22:40:31) Talia_Idris: So she is currently 27 - her mom died when she was 13 so 14 years ago is the earliest probably
(22:42:40) Manuel: Hmm, current year in Thar is what again? 122pw?
(22:45:11) Manuel: Wanna be sure.
Lest I be emasculated
(23:07:04) Manuel: Hello?
(23:07:28) Talia_Idris: greeting and salutations human
(23:07:47) Manuel: Heh.
(23:07:57) Manuel: Any idea about the current year?
(23:08:11) Talia_Idris: not sure
(23:08:43) Talia_Idris: but I think you are right
(23:09:56) Manuel: Cool. So that'll mean it goes down in 136 pw.
(23:10:07) Manuel: You want the chat log in the plot discussion?
(23:12:19) Manuel: Well, the parts concerning planning anyway
(23:14:34) Talia_Idris: sure
(23:14:38) Talia_Idris: sounds good
(23:18:49) Porter: Deer logs into the Chat.
(23:18:57) Deer: Oh, one more thing
(23:19:19) Talia_Idris: yes
(23:19:27) Deer: Where's this going down?
Pal Tahrenor?
Eyropa?
Tian Xia?
(23:21:22) Deer: Where-ever Hasele is based basically. Or near it I guess.
(23:22:42) Deer: Wait a min, checked the maps I saved.
(23:22:50) Deer: Hasele's in Eyropa.
(23:22:52) Deer: We good
(23:23:04) Talia_Idris: perfect
(23:23:14) Talia_Idris: so really it can be anywhere around there really
(23:25:48) Deer: Yea.
(23:26:49) Deer: Even better, Teutonia is right next to Hasele.
(23:26:50) Deer: And next to that is Madaal!
Where the mannequins started their journey from!
(23:27:00) Deer:
(23:27:06) Talia_Idris: well that makes life easy for them
(23:27:25) Deer: Yep.
(23:27:32) Deer: Tying together nicely.
(23:27:37) Talia_Idris: especially for the whole 'hearing about a charm maker' type thing
(23:27:57) Deer: Indeed.
(23:28:07) Talia_Idris: and they did travel around in previous years to sell in other towns on special occasions
(23:28:53) Deer: Perfect. That's so dang perfect.
(23:29:30) Deer: No need to jump through hoops to rope together a plot, it's practically pulling itself together.
(23:29:53) Talia_Idris: exactly!
(23:32:09) Deer: So. Title?
(23:32:22) Deer: Literally forgot about that XD
(23:33:02) Talia_Idris: which mannequin were you liking for this thread?
(23:36:05) Deer: Deers page. but using Owl.
Since Deer is the one with the page, I'm posting for all the mannequins using his account, instead of making 11 more accounts.
(23:36:20) Deer: So Owl.
(23:36:44) Talia_Idris: makes sense - I wanna pic of Owl though!
(23:37:12) Talia_Idris: hmmm - drawing a blank on a title still
(23:37:32) Talia_Idris: I suppose it depends on where we want this to go - now that we have the backstory/the start
(23:39:17) Deer: Hmm. Well Kala want's her sister back.
Owl wants a mage powerful enough to free all of them.
Depending on if she believes in souls, Owl would probably explain their situation, being trapped in undying bodies.
(23:39:33) Deer: Maybe that would peak her interest?
(23:40:24) Talia_Idris: well considering she is basically trying to find the soul of her sister to force her back to life that is a yes
(23:41:18) Deer: Nice.
(23:41:46) Deer: The deal is that they all read the those, so they would all ideally have knowledge of the spells and runes used, though they wont be able to use them.
(23:41:50) Deer: *the tome
(23:42:20) Deer: Soooo, I'm sensing a bargaining chip. "You find out how to free us, we give you all this knowledge."
(23:42:53) Talia_Idris: and I suppose they would want to see if Kala is strong enough to break the magic that keeps then rooted in this world - we can have some adventures and they can find out she isn't quite strong enough but as she is so young they part ways and maybe keep tabs on her in case they can't find anyone else? Because her magic is already good but not just not enough but like their old master she will only get stronger as time goes by
(23:43:13) Talia_Idris: and that leaves her free to move onto other places and end up in Marn in the present
(23:43:26) Deer: So much yes.
(23:43:38) Deer: Ladies and Gents, we have a plotttttttt
(23:44:07) Talia_Idris: tada!
(23:45:40) Talia_Idris: and maybe that is how the voices start - and maybe stay with her. Some of it is herself and the craziness she develops but every once in a while one of them pop in her mind when they are close enough to check on her 'status' as it were
(23:47:10) Deer: Yea.
(23:47:42) Deer: It'll most likely be the one she met though, since they're doing the divide and conquer thing.
(23:47:51) Talia_Idris: exactly
(23:49:20) Deer: She'll have like the young lad/lass just always checking in.
(23:49:57) Deer: Never changing or growing from the first time they met.
(23:50:48) Deer: That'll be trippy to say the least
(21:49:38) Manuel: I feel like "The Path" would be interested in Kala, maybe one of em runs into her.
(21:50:21) Manuel: Is she magical?
(21:50:35) Manuel: Like can she be sensed as magical

Re: Voices In Her Head, Voices Of The Dead.
First post up, woop woop.
Re: Voices In Her Head, Voices Of The Dead.
Sorry it's taken so long - I think I said so but in case I didn't I did have other posting responsibilities first.
So far so good but I did want to make a request for a few adjustments. Only Kala's sister returned enemy fire. And maybe make it a little more clear that it was several days later before Owl approached Talia? Maybe trailing her for a couple weeks? Her sister didn't die right away - they kind of holed up in a cheap hotel of sorts while Talia tried to figure out how to save her sister - and then how to place her in suspended animation. It took several days for her to recover and then it would have taken several more before she earned the money fro the cart that would take her further away from home and all that.
Anyways I will work on a post in the next several days and if you could make those edits that would be perfect!
So far so good but I did want to make a request for a few adjustments. Only Kala's sister returned enemy fire.
