RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - Ignispark - 12-11-2022

oh yeah! introductions time. and with someone who knows their stuff!

maybe go for something formal or dramatic appropriately? can't let em down if there's already a certain judgement going on. i dont know what else? compliment the safehouse work and that there seems to be a good thing going here? in any case! making a good impression seems keen as well as trying to get more of an idea of like, what's next. what's going on. etc.

You performed a bow with a sweeping confidence. You managed to catch a detail right away.

Mismatched fingers on one hand, and rings bearing the mark of royals.

You maintained your position.

Tiles: I’m the last representative of the guild of Tiles. I’m more than ready to aid your efforts wherever I can.

Starman: Last representative? That’s unfortunate to hear…

Their ears pulled back.

Starman: When Scab reported that a knight of your guild appeared, we were hoping to find out that some of you had found shelter.

Tiles: No, unfortunately I really am what’s left..

Starman: I’m sorry. Your family always did so much for the local communities in Coins.

Tiles: Mm.. the crown saw a business opportunity and didn’t care much for the locals wishing to maintain the culture. You’re more than familiar, yes?

Starman: Aye.. place is gentrified to hell these days, hate how uniform and chrome it looks.

Starman: If you don’t have any place to stay you’re more than welcome to. Told you were in pretty rough shape…

Tiles: I’m managing fairly well.

Starman takes a good look at you.

Starman: Your mandible is cracked..

Tiles: A couple of guards did it. Need to have it filled in..

Starman: Unfortunately this safe house doesn’t have a dentist who’s familiar with your kind. I’m surprised though, what happened there?

Tiles: Jumped after leaving the local pub. Someone there snitched on me…

Starman: Nasty.

Tiles: At that point I’d been jumping from spot to spot so long I didn’t have it in me to put up my best.

Gallows: Still managed to put in a lot of work despite that, be proud of that.

Tiles: It was far from my best but..

Gallows: Don’t be modest! You managed to handle a job I’d been planning to sooner or later. Aye?

The rabbit looked over at Creme.

Creme: I’d been in the talks with one of his collaborators for a while..

Gallows: The job ended up being a bit impromptu admittedly but you managed to carry it quite well.

Creme: You really came through for me… I owe you.

She couldn’t help but swish her tail.

Starman had taken a good look at the cat.

Starman: Gally, this the deserter you mentioned?

Gallows: Hard to call her that, doesn’t seem like her heart was ever in it.

Starman: Mm…

Starman: Gonna need some time before I feel confident letting you in on certain things but…

Starman: I’ve been told your situation. You’re welcome to stay so long as you contribute.

Creme: Of course.. I may have to vanish at points to avoid suspicion though..

Creme: And my other half is still here.

Creme: Transparency is key, I don’t expect your trust without showing that much..

Gallows: Also have Tiles keeping an eye on her. Volunteered to share a room just to keep watch.

Starman: Normally I’d like someone closer for that but…

The star-faced creature looked directly at you.

Starman: Get the sense you’re someone who’s got too much bad blood with the crown to even consider pulling a scheme. Aye?

Tiles: You have no idea…

Starman: Very well then. We have some time til dinner but it’s fairly soon relatively. 

Starman: You can meet up with Scab and get the tour, or cool off in your room with Creme til we summon you all.

Starman: Also feel free to ask any questions…. But only if I can ask a few in return. I am curious about our new recruits.
 


RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - Ignispark - 01-04-2023

Of course answering questions in return is fair game. and as for what to ask...let's mix it up. Some work(ish) questions for posterity's sake, some other to get to know em better.

Is it fair to presume you might know some good ways to stick it to the crown, or otherwise help people in a position to do so? I suppose it's rather obvious that's going to come up. Or at least will in the future?

Which of us would win in an arm wrestling contest?

What's your favorite weapon?

What's your favorite color?

If you were a scented candle, what would you be and why?

RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - ThreadLurkingComorant - 01-08-2023

Tiles: I’d be more than fine with answering, so much as it’s within reason. If anything’s too personal I’d like the both of us to be able to pass on a question.

Starman: More than fair.

Tiles: A bit of levity first. Get acquainted.

Starman: Certainly, we all could use some.

Tiles: Mmhmm. First thing’s first, which one of us would win in an arm wrestling cont=est?

Starman: I see what you’re up to. Gotta gauge me a bit. Gallows? GIve me your take.Should we find out?

Gallow gave them a solemn look.

Starman: Ah… Are you sure?.

Gallows: Love yourself, don’t.

Courier: I wanna see admittedly… but I think I have a good gauge.

Creme: Same..

The rabbit frowned.

Starman:... We’ll save it til dinner.At the moment though I’ll give it to you.

You can’t help but feel a little satisfied with that.Shouldn’t let it get to your head.

Tiles: Continuing on then. Favorite arm?

Starman: Uh… left. Right one’s a bit jumbled admittedly.

They rolled up a sleeve and show even further mismatched rings of fur and flesh.

Starman: Long story that..

Tiles: I meant weapon.

Starman: Ah! Well..

They tapped at the side of their head.

Starman: The greatest weapon we’ve all got, the one were all born with.

Starman: Do like this game, got any more?

Tiles: Favorite color?

Starman: Good question, bit complicated for me to answer admittedly. Folks here have to help me make sure my wardrobe’s all good when getting new clothes.

Starman: Got a friend who’s actually pretty big into fashion, very bright. You’ll meet her soon I think.

Courier: Bright?

Starman: I mean.. That’s indisputable.

Gallows: We know what you mean. Think you have more of a twinkle though.

Starman: Yes well.. If I had to say though? Quite big on blue. Just like it.

Tiles: Mm…

Starman: Not the most exciting answer but it’s there. You can have a couple more, then it’s my turn.

Tiles: If you had to be a scented candle, what kind?

Starman: Cigarette.

Tiles:... I’m sorry?

Starman: Lot of my friends growing up smoked, so it makes me oddly nostalgic…

Starman: That said we have a no smoking policy in the safehouse. Too many fume in the morning with how much hairspray some folks use.

Starman: One more.

Tiles: I presume you have a plan regarding the crown? It’s going to come up eventually and I imagine you’ve got a means to stick it to them.

Starman: Plan is to empower citizens, cut off their supplies.

Starman: Make this district less reliant on their direct support, make it harder for them to thrive as they are.

Starman: And build connections with other districts in the process too.

Starman: I also got a few nest eggs but… I’d like to get everyone in on those together. High risk at the moment.

Tiles: Understood.

Starman: Are you ready for my turn then?

Tiles: Certainly.

Starman: I’ll toss the rapid fire.

Starman: What are your first impressions of my crew? Any concerns

Starman: What are you looking to gain out of this for yourself?

Starman: What kind of world do you want to build after it’s all said and done.

Starman: And…

They leaned in to whisper.

Starman:I asked my regulars but, what’s your gauge on our other potential newcomer?

RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - Ignispark - 01-10-2023

1. Your crew seems pretty good. Rabbits a little spooky, but in a good way! Also a good sword. All of them are good actually. Nice crew. Giving the crew a 6/5 stars on medieval yelp. (is that like? a herald? idk. newspaper editor column?)

2. Uh, help. People. Personal intense vengeance against the crown? Friends. More stabbing the crown. Stab the crown again. Stab the crown with friends. You know, the usual. Stabbing doesnt have to be literal, by the way. the usual, really! [...maybe? teach some people. idk. whats the point of stabbing people if you die and nobody's left to stab after you? i guess if nobody needs to stab again thats fine?]

3. One where people arent thrown around like a twig in a tornado and slammed against the inside of a shed over and over. Maybe also somewhere that can have more nice calm moments, without a scythe directly pressed against the neck, bleeding people dry to let a few live luxury.

4. ...Potentially risky, but...incredibly valuable and with skill. Odds should be in our favor though, I think, on this play.

RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - ThreadLurkingComorant - 01-18-2023

Tiles: Your crew seems very together, looking forward to working with them from what I’ve seen. Courier’s been nothing but sweet and Gallows… hard to pin down? A little on the spookish side but I actually quite appreciate it.

Starman: He certainly has his fair share of tricks and secrets but I assure his reasons are out of concern for others.

Tiles: I’ve gotten the feeling.

Tiles: As far as my goals? Simple I suppose. Make friends and allies, stab at the crown, aid those in trouble, and perhaps a bit of metaphorical and literal cutting of royalty.

Starman: Common sentiments among people here, myself included.

Tiles: Imagine we’ll get along quite well.

Starman: I think so too.

Tiles:As for after? One where the people aren’t thrown into the storm like a twig in the hurricane’s eye. Without waking to a scythe at your throat and poverty. Bleeding the people dry for the sake of luxury, can’t stand it… I’d give a lot for a world with more calm than famine.

Starman: Well spoken. Fan of reading?

Tiles: Very…

Starman: Mm.. I’ll keep that in mind.

Tiles: As for the other new recruit, Creme…

Tiles: Potentially a risk with Ibarra, and as kind as Creme has been she’s still quite new to me but…

Tiles: I think what she brings is incredibly valuable, and I do think the odds are in our favor.

You can’t help but smile thinking about her repairing your lance even if in a unfinished state.

Starman: That’s a look that tells me a lot.

Starman: Just a quick assessment, standard for anyone. Creme and Ibarra will go through the same once I feel more comfortable..

They handed you a needle.

Starman: Hold that pointing to someone within a meter’s distance and twist. It’ll let me know you’re in trouble and cast an enchantment to stabilize someone who’s injured. Advanced medical magic.

Tiles: Long distance healing?

Your knowledge of supernatural beings kicks in.

The ability to harvest life can be felt from the simple looking tool.

You recognized it as magic only found in what several comrades refer to as “Noble” category beings.

They’re not common in this region, and most of them are aligned with the crown’s main family. 

Tiles: How’d you get your hands on something like this?

Starman: Painstakingly. Crown marked me long ago, so I’ve made a point to do the same.

Starman: Shy about showing off too much in public though…

They gestured toward a door in the alley ahead.

Starman: For now let’s get some rest in, shall we?

Your group scooted into the safehouse, set up with many of the same makeshift decor style and comforts as the other one.

You find a familiar rabbit.
[Image: cT35aPl.png]
Tiles:.... Scab?

Scab: You made it! Took awhile.

Gallows: Got sidetracked, happens.

Scab: I can tell!

Tiles: Who’s handling the other safehouse right now?

Scab: Me? Who else?

Tiles:... Pardon?

Gallows: Gotta fill her in on it.

Courier: Scab had a bit of an accident. Multiple bodies working multiple safehouses. Can create new ones but it takes time to learn how to control all of them at once each time.

Scab: Really try not to do it if I can avoid it, throws me off for a week each time.

Scab:A curse but a handy one.

Scab: Anyway, go rooms to make sure they’re ready.

Scab: Feel free to use any of our facilities and services til then, sound good?

Tiles: Would love that…

You looked over to your party, Starman already busy with other staff at the safehouse. Must be be hectic running a resistance.

TIles: Already gone…

Courier: They’ll be back soon.

Gallows: Aye. May as well take advantage of what time off you can.

Creme: What are you both planning?

Courier: Thinking of changing into something comfortable and exchanging stories in the tavern. Meet folks there, listen to music, trade stories and secrets.Might make a few friends. I’ll cover the two of you if you’re feeling peckish.

Gallows: Planning to get a little labbing done. We’ve been taking apart all sorts of crown relics and putting their tech to good use. Feel like the two of you might be able to do a lot with what we’ve got set up here.

Courier: You’re still tinkering? Aren’t you tired?

Gallows: Not yet, we’ll have plenty of time to later.

Courier: Ah… well anyone’s welcome to join me today!

Gallows: Likewise, would be good to get you both familiar with the place. 
 


RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - MarxzVulpez - 01-19-2023

While going and tinkering on stuff with Gallows sounds enticing, I think we should go recuperate with Courier right now. While our fight with Ibarra was short it was still fairly intense and we could probably go for some food, plus hanging out in the tavern would give us a chance to get to know/ see more people. Definitely let Gallows know that we want to hang out and tinker in the future though

RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - Ignispark - 01-20-2023

Agreeing with the above. Going into a lab with potential danger while you're tired is asking for you to accidentally trip and whack your lance into a priceless artifact and your face on a vial of cursed liquid on the way down.

RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - ThreadLurkingComorant - 01-26-2023

 Tiles: As much as I’d like to learn more about your research facilities, I do think after a fight like that I’m a tad too tired to feel comfortable fumbling around a place like that.

Tiles: But I do appreciate the offer and I’ll join you some other time.

[Image: unknown.png]

Gallows: Ah… understandable really, been a lot.

[Image: image.png]

Creme: Likewise, I’m still getting used to this form and well..Exhausting, no idea how Ibarra did this..

Creme: Being in the physical world in general. I’d like to take it easy.

Creme: Being alive is hard...

Gallows: Mm.. In that case would you mind saving me a spot?

Gallows: I’d like to join everyone just a little after I’m done handling progress.

Courier: Aye, you know you’re always welcome!

Gallows: I know…

Gallows: Trusting you to be good with the new recruits.

Courier: I’ll do my best.

Gallows gives your group a little wave.

Gallows: If I’m not there, I’ll still show for dinner.

Courier: Sounds good. Now get going, I know you’re excited to work on you-know-what.

Gallows: Mm..

The rabbit scurries off.

Courier starts going xeir own way.

Courier: Follow along, just need to get changed.

[Image: unknown.png]

Courier: Been at this a little too long, outfit’s not my choice for relaxing.Gonna do a quick change as I said.

Creme: Mm, understand how that feels.

Creme: Been bound to wearing armor for years.

Courier: Aye..

Xey stop at a door and creek it open.

Courier: Won't be long at all, just stay here, aye?

Tiles: Best I can.

The door shuts.

[Image: image.png]

Creme looks over at you nervously.

Tiles: Everything alright?

Creme: I’m less than confident about this whole thing admittedly, a lot going on.

Creme: I feel… like I’ve been too weak in the past.

Creme: For someone who makes weapons and armor, I’m not much good with them.

Creme: Suppose that’s why my form in the other world is that of a mannequin.. The kind used for practicing combat or displaying equipment...

Creme: You’re quite strong though. The others also stand out in their own way. That rabbit did me such a big favor on the bet that I’d be a good ally to this group..

Creme: I fear being a weak link… 

RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - King-Clod - 01-26-2023

Mm...I can't tell you what you should or shouldn't feel.

But you shouldn't speak poorly of yourself or your abilities. You did me a great service just in helping me get my lance back in working order - it's helped me feel...more like myself again, rather than just being a reminder of what I've lost. If you could do even a fraction of that work for anyone else, I really don't think you'd be a weak link for the rebellion at all. Just...more of a background player, someone who keeps the place running and keep everyone in working order.

...But, if getting stronger is something you'd be interested in, I'd always be down to practice sparring with you, if you like. Show you a few pointers on how I do things. Though I'm quite sure you know the basics already, it could be good to refresh seeing as you're new to inhabiting a body again.

RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - ThreadLurkingComorant - 02-02-2023

[Image: unknown.png]

 Tiles: Mm.. I can’t tell you what to or not to feel.. But you shouldn’t speak so poorly about yourself or your abilities.

Tiles: You’ve done me a great service in repairing my lance, and I’m quite grateful for that.

Tiles: Your talents are more than appreciated…

Creme: Maybe…

Tiles: Having that again… it makes me feel like myself in a way I haven’t in so long. It used to be a reminder of what I’d lost but…

Tiles: It’s silly..

Creme: No it’s not, do tell.

Tiles: It’s hope for me, a piece that’s been long missing.

Tiles: If you can do even a fraction of that for someone else… you’ve contributed more than enough.

Tiles: really don't think you'd be a weak link for the rebellion at all. Just...more of a background player, someone who keeps the place running and keep everyone in working order.

Tiles: But… if getting stronger is something you desire..

Tiles: I can more than mentor you. Could spar, give you a few pointers. I imagine you know the basics and that body is quite strong.

Creme: Maybe…

Tiles: It’d help you get acquainted with your new situation.

Creme: Could you really do that? It’s not too much?

Tiles: It’s a worthwhile investment, and you’ve done a lot for me in such little time.

Creme:....

Creme: Thank you, I’ll sit on that but I do really want to fight with everyone else.

She’s was more than happy with your response.

[Image: image.png]

You heard a knocking.
 
[Image: image.png]

Courier stepped out of xeir room.

Courier: Nice and comfy…. You should probably get dressed in something easy too.

Tiles: I don’t have anything on me…

Creme: Same..

Courier: You can take from our extras.

Xey grabbed your hands and lead you both down the hall.

Creme: This isn’t needed…

Courier: You’re both armored up! Not good for a pub setting.

You’re stopped at a room filled with piles and piles of salvaged and refurbished outfits.

Creme: If I do this I’m paying you back, I don’t need clothes..

Courier: We’d appreciate that.

Creme started looking through

Courier: Tiles? 

RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - Ignispark - 02-02-2023

Hm...outfit hunting...I think some sort of jacket (something kinda punky or something formal or both could be interesting) and a hat (A fedora or trilby would be very funny, though perhaps a touch cursed) could be fun for Tiles.

Other than that some sort of cool boots or formal shoe could make sense?

that way its still sort of an outfit kinda in the 'i can look nice and also beat the crap out of you at the same' vibe, while being something different from the armor?

RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - skinstealer - 02-03-2023

find a nice vest! and a skirt! and boots!

RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - MarxzVulpez - 02-04-2023

seconding the boots, skirt, vest and jacket preferably one with a ton of pockets. Also something for head wear would be nice, maybe like a bandanna or bow?

RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - King-Clod - 02-04-2023

Comfy sweater...

RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - ThreadLurkingComorant - 02-07-2023

[Image: image.png]

You're already in, managing a set of cool boots, a vest with a jacket on top, thick sweater to get through the pouring cold, and your hair styled over your mandibles to finish the look.

You walk out and make a little pose.

Courier can't help smile while Creme avoids eye contact.

Courier: Punk-ish look, quite a fan I think.

Creme: Lovely...

Courier: You know it feels quite natural on you.

Tiles: Jackie got me into this sort, people seem to not expect it too much.

Courier: Your accent does have a tinge of it admittedly. Makes a lot of sense.

Creme: Mmhmm... you should help me get dressed too. Your sense of style feels like one I can trust here.

Courier: Oh? You're really gonna let her?

Tiles: I mean, don't see why not?

Creme: I do mean I wish to pay back for this..

Courier: Cover the first round of snacks and drinks and that'd be nice...

Creme: Consider it done. Tiles?

Tiles: I've got it covered.

You take a good look at her.

Tiles: You're tall.. but also polite. Hmm...

Tiles: Think you'vve got good range.

Creme: I want to blend with the people here so...

Courier: Aye, fair.

Courier: You know what to do.

RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - skinstealer - 02-07-2023

a nice long dress, with cool shoes and maybe some simple accessories

RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - King-Clod - 02-10-2023

How do you feel about overalls? Or an overall dress? That with a nice blouse and possibly some lace would look good, I think.

RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - ThreadLurkingComorant - 02-20-2023

[Image: image.png]

 After a bit of a change into a large overall dress with a nice blouse underneath., Creme pokes her head out of the room.

Creme: Finished up..

She did a little twirl to show off the outfit, despite its thrifty nature it came together quite nicely.

Courier: Cute, there’s some folks here who’d love your style.

Tiles: It’s quite lovely.

Creme: Thank you! I did my best and I promise I will pay everyone back for this. I really shouldn’t be borrowing…

Courier: You’ll be staying with us, no?

Creme: As much as I can, still have to maintain looks before transitioning over to this place.

Courier: Understood.

Creme: I can stick around for a couple of days easily though…

Courier: That’s fine, we can help you get your stuff out here.

Creme: Could you really..? It’d be a big help. I need my tools…

Creme: Many of them are in the mirror world..

Tiles: Does seem essential…

Courier: Aye. Why don’t we get situated aye?

Xey give the two of you a gesture to follow.

You walk down the hall, only to be interrupted by a construct with a bulb head.

You recognize it as a corpse light, a tool used by the crown to harvest the souls of infantry.

An escapee? Likely manufacturing or a low level grunt if she defected..

[Image: image.png]

???: Ey! Courier! Brought some new friends?

Courier: Recruits! We just got a job done so we’re getting some relax time.

???: Ah. Well I’m on shift serving food drinks. You folks want a booth or to talk to me on the bar?

Courier: I’d love to personally but… I think it may be easier to ease them in slower. What do you think?

Creme: I wouldn’t mind making friends, already doing quite good on that today.

Courier: Tiles?

RE: King's Mulligan [Interactive Project] - skinstealer - 02-20-2023

make friends! be adventurous!
