Beyond the Graves Out of Character

READ ME

2010-09-26T07:54:49Z

So there's one area of the mod journal that's a bit out of date. I need your help to fix it.

Tell me again who's been invited to Graves Hall by the time we get to Beyond?

I know some of the kids were, but I never managed to write down who. Cookies if you describe what their variations on the hall look like.

Plot Check in #8

We've been very quiet lately and it's been quite some time since our last check in. It might help us to remember where we left off before we pick back up to start summer play. So let us know what you've been up to since our last check in.

I re-did the tagging system a bit.

I've added "!location:" to the beginning of places in the game so that they're all together and easier to find when tagging. I also added "!" to the beginning of other non-character tags (such as "letters"). Finally I deleted some errant tags and fixed misspelled ones.

I'll go through and fix all the links that lead to tags later once I've finished my overhaul.

On a side note my computer was glomped by an unfriendly virus and I'm borrowing Joey's until I can get it looked at (and hopefully fixed with minimal loss). Thanks for bearing with me!

I made us a polyvore group.

As you may have noticed, Sass and I went nuts and posted all sorts of backstory for Cam and Kitten. So if you wanted to something similar for your older characters that could fill in some of the blanks, please add on.

Computer Fail

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY secondtimecharm)

None of my USB ports are usable and my touchpad is fucked. We had to send my computer away for two weeks to replace and or fixed. This is a great opportunity to introduce you to my new perfume scent... Whatevah. My room mate said I could use her computer whenever I need to so I will be available but not as often as normal. FML.

It wouldn't be December if I didn't have to send my computer away for two weeks though would it?

Plot Check-in #7

2010-09-10T02:50:11Z

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY gravesmod)

If I thought we were sorely out of date in Graves, we are PAINFULLY out of date over here.

Tell us what your characters have been up to since our last check-in.

Same offer applies here if you put in links. You get a real, tangible prize for your efforts.

Dear everyone,

Victor has been temporarily imprisoned in New Meridian but he a bad man so I would like to stage the first trial EVAR in the community. Therefore I need a jury. Here is a list of all the possible jury people based on relations to the victim and the perpetrator and if you're interested in playing one or more characters in that trial please comment here. (There's a lot of Joey characters simply because they're not related to everyone! Hahaha) I loves you all!

Bootes
Zed Turner
~~Chloe Wells~~
~~Doyle Aeron~~
Gunnar Furguson
Lula
Aldrich Waldemar
Alexzander Albertine
~~Damien Aeron~~
Forrest Walker
Nikolai Saveli
Teagan van der Woodsen
~~Ajax~~
Eugene
~~Pete Fortuna~~

Jury and Hearing!

2010-09-10T02:50:10Z

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY secondtimecharm)

Hello hello hello! So our jurors are:

Bootes
Zed Turner
Gunnar Furguson
Tallulah
Aldrich Waldemar
Alexzander Albertine
Forrest Walker
Nikolai Saveli
Teagan van der Woodsen
Eugene
Kit Blue
and last but not least...
Maxime!

Based on an arbitrary selection Nikolai Saveli has been selected as the head juror.

I will post the hearing section and then I will post the Jurors voting thread where jurors can debate or just straight up vote. In the jury vote I will have the have the jury return to the court room and the head juror will read out the vote "we the jury find you guilty as HALE" or "the glove don't fit! you gotta acquit!" Whatever the jury decides. Right after we will have sentencing, decided by the judge. Thanks for all your help guys! Woo!

It might actually be time for a plot check in over here! Please fill us in on what your characters have been up to since the last check in. Post away my little lovekins!

Beyond NPC Journal

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY beyondnpc)

We haven't played with it much in the other community yet, but some of you have added characters to the graveshallnpc journal. So I made one for here, considering we have a fair share of npc's here too. Same rules apply. Same password as well. Have at!

Question/Sudden Realization

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY whatgoesaround)

Hadn't we decided (way back when) that mages age slower because of their magic (or something to that effect)? Therefore, wouldn't people that have suffered from the Blanket Plague age reeeal fast? Or am I getting this all sorts of confused?

Eugene!

HI AGAIN.

Eugene has some information now. Still not a proper bio, but I'll get to that when I can think of some stuff that he's done.. other than be a loser who lives with his mum.

HOMG

SO. After the drama.. when Reed and Marlowe realise ILU and all of that. THIS IS FOR THEM. (Mostly because I got in an Elbow listening mood and was thinking about RP too.. so songs and characters and things mixed around in my head.) Oh, and the /song/ ..not the clip. Unless they want to get into the condo selling/sign twirling business.

If anyone is interested, Sass and are playing some young Kat and Camden stuff (so we can get a feel for them and their backstory) over on the backup comm I made on insanejournal. You guys are welcome to play any "non-canon" stuff over there too. This is mostly stuff that wouldn't fit in the timeline anywhere. We may play some Kat and Isadore things so we can feel out their parent-child relationship.

Sara here.. just letting you know that I'm finally bringing old Ajax here. SO YAY.

I'm not sure what he's going to do other than be older and grumpier. He's probably a bit past his AWESOME PERFORMANCE time.. maybe only doing a bit of that sort of stuff. He can be like JOHN FARNHAM (not that anyone but Sass and Nina will know who I'm talking about) and do like a FINAL TIME tour.. but then come back and do another one.. and then maybe some winery tours AND WHY WON'T HE STOP ALREADY? Okay, maybe not. XD We need like crappy casinos to do PAST IT shows at. XD I assume there is less performing though. Maybe some feigned QUIET LIFE. But still killing. He might be less wanky about it, though he's being pretty wanky to past Elliot from further in the future than now, so I don't know. XD EVIL ELLIOT is just what he needs to SPARK up his life again, so they better butt heads somehow. EDIT: NOT LIKE THAT

ANYWAY. HI BEYOND. :D

Plot Check in #5 and a little more

2010-09-10T02:50:00Z

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY gravesmod)

These usually go hand in hand. Please tell us what you've been up to since the check in (which I neglected to do myself, bad monkey. Edit: and then went back and did because it would have been a daunting task otherwise).

We're pretty good on the incomplete threads front, but some got dropped completely because of Elle's departure. For the remaining players, you can wrap those threads up by yourself or you can leave them where they're at. We're still working on figuring out where to go from here; we've already adjusted some longstanding story lines with new characters.

As a result, we should probably fill each other in on things that have changed (obviously the very first thread: the anniversary party went differently because the Queen is an entirely different person now). If you need to supersede story lines you can do it here, or post some sort of "memory" log (like this) that helps explain how things are different from our established canon.

I'm still debating about labeling "non-canon" posts in some way so that if new players come into the game they won't be confused when what happened in the game last year doesn't match up with what's current in game. This ended up a lot longer than I thought. Anyway. Post away.

My motherboard is being replaced. Boo. It's going to take 2-3 weeks. So beginning on Sunday I will be sparse for that time. Joey is basically swinging Romeo around with a pillow right now and it's pretty wonderful. It's like ballet without the tutus.

Check in?

2010-09-10T02:49:58Z

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY gravesmod)

I didn't think to do this the other day (I never do).

Let's do a plot check in! Our last check in was a real hoot.

Hey All

2010-09-10T02:49:58Z

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY gravesmod)

Same as the other post. Pretty much.

I'd like to add everyone's version of Graves Hall to the description post in the mod journal (whether by visuals or written description, depending on which you've established). I'm feeling a little lazy and I'm thinking it might easier if everybody participated in the process.

So: if you have posted pictures for your character's version of the hall, or if you've described it, can you copy and paste those descriptions in a comment to this post. I'll then go through and add it to this post.

Layouts

2010-09-10T02:49:57Z

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY gravesmod)

I'm thinking about changing the community layouts so that we can use tag lists. I'm doing some serious browsing to find something clean and simple that suits the community.

This is just a heads-up so if you guys log in and it looks all funny, it's because we're trying things out. If it's horrible and no one likes it we can change it back or find another layout.

Double post to you guys. Sorry. I'm thinking about changing the layout here too. The red is making me insane in the membrane.

Check in Anyone?

These usually go hand in hand for the comms, since we move at about the same pace.

What's been a-happenin' since the last plot check in?

Since Aiden is taking over the Dirty Vegas I decided to re-do his room. This was my first choice:

We decided to go with something a little more classic though.

That is all.

Introductions

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY woventapestry)

I don't know as we've ever introduced new characters in this comm before now (and Parliament knows we haven't done it in Graves in a crone's age). Anywho...

Hi. This is Carol introducing you to Amaterasu. Ama for short. She's not allowed out in my head for very long because she's completely batshit insane. She used to live on Linoa Island and very recently made landfall in central Aylasia. During this time she's been stalking Chloe Wells. She sometimes appears to look like a much younger Ohana Hitomi.

I can't wait until the secrets on this one drop.

To those of whom it may concern:

As you may have read, Elliot (who is technically Alexzander trapped in Elliot's body) murdered Maeglin a few days ago.

WELL, I'm not exactly sure when I am going to have time to write about what happens next so I wanted to post this little bit of information so that you know what's going on and can play your characters accordingly:

Elliot (again, technically Alexzander trapped in Elliot's body although no one knows this) was sentenced to death Saturday evening for killing Maeglin.

And on Sunday afternoon Maeglin's funeral was held.

Like I said, I wanted you all to know this in case it has any effect on your characters. This will all be logged soon, just not as soon as I had hoped. (DAMN YOU SCHOOL!!).

PLAY ON!
