Mission notice has some information that you'll wanna read.

These are the notes for Search! Put notes for x-overs here as well! "KOKOL: " already has a own threads for that, plus Xovers. (Post a crossover note in both.)

Anyway, RP notes go here. Put the summery of what happens in your RP. If it's something other players need to know at a glance, even if it's a spoiler, put it here. This is for the mission where we're all out trying to find the Toot, which is easy. However, the goal is also to bring him to the Council, so don't let that happen during roleplaying. You could have the Toot fly away on his own- he's weird like that. Or someone steals him, or you lose him. Whatever. It's sort of like RP hot potato to the writer. Get rid of the Toot, or fail to get him.. even though your PC is presumably trying to get the Toot back to the Council! Have fun with it.

If there's things you want to make other players aware of coming up in future RP's, you might put that here as well.

This'll make it easier for us all to keep track of what's going on with roleplaying at a glance.

So Sassy got the first roleplay up again, which is cool. Her and her friends are split on what to do. RP title: A Quiet Mountain Retreat.

Sassy decides she's going to the mountains to look for the Toot, and troll Brindle is going with her. Meanwhile, Icy and Bristle are staying behind, skipping the missions and generally being in love so they want time to get to know each other.

Bristle mentions his horrible, sadistic family lives in the mountains. Oh, and Sassy stops to help a turtle along the way which nicely establishes she can't talk to turtles, just snakes. Clever lil bit of writing by her handler there, if I say so.

"Change in air" is just a quickly written, short bit of Wildfall selling the house he and Summer had shared until she left.. with Wildfall realizing it's time to move on, and time for a change.

(I didn't get to his 'in' to the Toot mission, even.)

Notes on HEADING IN TO THE MOUNTAINS, by Sassy Snake.

Sassy and Linger make their way up to the mountains to look for the toot. Since there's a bunch of adventurers looking for the bird, Linger suggests taking a steeper, more dangerous path. It's filled with snakes, but Sassy talks her way past, being able to talk to snakes and all.

Sassy talks to a rattlesnake named Rascal the Rattler, who claims the Toot isn't around the mountains. Sassy promises not to aggravate the local snakes.

While Linger and Sassy Snake make camp, elsewhere, Rayvon confronts Bris and Icy who are having a nice romantic stop in South Degrassi. Rayvon claims she's worried that Sassy might be insane. The happy couple aren't buying it, so Rayvon continues to plot.

Oh, just a lil look ahead. In the next planned piece, Sassy runs into an adventurer who claims not only isn't the Toot in his nest but there's no clue to where the bird might be. So keep that in mind as you write..

Another Sassy piece is up- "The Ballard of Bad Luck Blorf."

The roleplay mostly focuses on her finding him and nursing him back towards feeling better with a lil potion. Turns out he was poisoned by an elf who gave him what was supposed to be a potion that'd protect him but ended up being poison. Supposedly a Crimbo elf to boot!

For obvious reasons, Blorf seemed a little worried about having a troll around but he seems to trust that Sassy wants to heal him. She stays up as the two drift to sleep to watch over them for a while.

A new player debut is up!

In "Old (young) friends reunited," Wildfall runs into a girl whom he fails to recognize at first, after she fought off some "Goblin Imps" - though we didn't actually get to use that name in the piece, heh. Anyway, it's Mary Katherine, who knew Wildfall from growing up in Ireaca.. she is a lil younger than him.. but obviously a capable fighter already.

After a lil teasing, Wildfall offers to walk her back to town.

Cute lil piece!

I'm back again, this time with news on the Wildfall/ Mary K/ Blackpaws bit, "How hairy (Todd) met sassy (Mary K)". Yeah, not Sassy snake, heh. there isn't too much going on in this one action wise.

Wildfall and Mary K are surrounded by thugs. Before Wildfall can talk his way out, Mary's temper gets the better of her and they end up fighting the thugs off. Todd then steps in to use his music to charm the rest of the thugs out of wanting to fight and meets Mary.

There's a lot of character development, though, starting with Mary's temper, and Wildfall lecturing her on battle techniques.. and on focusing on the battle. There's also Todd hitting on Mary, which makes Wildfall maybe a bit jealous? He mentions Todd's girl Lapine, even implying Todd's talked about marriage! Mary gets a lil annoyed that a supposedly allegedly 'to be married' foxbard is hitting on her. Todd tries explaining it's just the nature of their relationship (with him being a vulpine and her being a bunny.)

Todd is none to happy with Wildfall about his lil comment either.

Mary then ushers Wildfall into town, saying they have to stop by Market Square, and that he has to find a place to live in Seaside Town. So the two split up from Todd for now.

Another Sassy Snake roleplay is up! Rick (Sassy's handler) really nailed it with this one.

It introduces four elves. Lyre lies all the time. Tickle, well, tickles a lot. Sassy has to mostly deal with the liar this time around, but eventually, she learns his trick- he always speaks the opposite of the truth. She gets him to lead her to Seaside Town where she meets Father Crimbo. (Oops, spoiler.)

Along the way, she hears what she is sure is an oriole singing. Linger also worries his dangerous family might be out here in the dark. At the end, Father Crimbo invites Sassy, Bad Luck Blorf (from the last roleplay), and Linger to, well, linger around for supper with him, haha.

Not much to say about "Marketplace." Wildfall and Mary are getting along.. They head to the market square on the way in and meet Todd there. Mary's shocked, shocked I say to find out about Todd growing up in a literal cathouse. Todd defends his past and tells her a story about how he grew up.

Mary's there shopping for fruits and healing potion ingredients, by the way.

Notes on Sassy Snake's "Dinner at Father Crimbo" story.

Starts with them dining at Father Crimbo's of course. We learn about Jack, who is poisoning everyone. Crimbo is surprised to hear he's resorted to poisoning people. Rayvon's interlude makes it clear she and her mistress are allied with Jack, and that Rayvon wants Sassy dead. Sassy runs into the mage she freed when she also freed Rayvon and Icey. The mage is guarding an "O" formation in the rocks, which is magical or something.

While the elves run off after Jack, Rayvon shoots arrows at Sassy and then runs off.

Linger correctly figures this is all very dangerous and wants to leave the mountains, but Sassy doesn't want to leave until they find that Toot.

As the title implies, most of this RP is purely "Search" related and it's quite a read! There's a lot going on. A lot!

Into Rayvon's Darkness!

Sassy wakes up to find one of the two elven guides, Tickle, ran off. It's too dark to follow him but he soon returns with a dead rabbit, which it turns out Rayvon gave him, and a bottle of wine, which he found laying around in the mountains, rather than in a barrel. Turns out Tickle seems to have a drinking problem. He drinks the whole thing and splits the rabbit with the other elf, Lyer, before passing out.

However, Sassy is woke up in the middle of the night by her troll friend Linger, who says Tickle's vanished again. Since it's a bit dangerous, Sassy and Lyer go out to find where he's gone. Turns out he's with Rayvon. Rayvon talks both elves into staying. After they pass out, she threatens Sassy, who returns to camp.
But only after she implies Uncle Crimbo is going to take the two elves for slave labor!

Sassy returns to camp alone and talks to Linger. The two decide they need to get off the mountains in the morning. In the morning, they talk to the wizard Rodrigo, who reveals Rayvon, her elf assassin Jack, and the two other elves went into the O and were trapped by some actions by the trolls. He is devastated that the "O" is sealed off but agrees to go with Sassy and Linger down the mountain.

They run into Linger's huge brother (Boulder), who pushes the ice walls open- then pushes the ice walls close to try to trap Linger into staying in the mountains. But when he runs off, Rodrigo takes advantage of the troll's actions, which might have resealed the wall, but failed to reseal the magic. Rodrigo is able to slowly burn his way through the ice walls.

Soonafter, they run across a battle scene, which it turns out is another attack by snow ninjas on Becky Joy and allies! (Becky's in the KOKOL mission, so this is a crossover.)

Becky faints. Her goblin Goblina and Sassy recap what's going on so far. The co-write ends with them heading off the mountain and setting up camp. Becky recovers.

But the rest will be saved for the next co-write! Phew, that was a LOT going on, especially for mostly being a Sassy Snake solo, up til the end!

"Mary pops into lil Canadia," or nearby it, as she and Wildfall watches her parents leaving the dock via ship. Mary's unsure about staying behind, knowing what a big challenge she'll face, and she hopes to rely on Wildfall's guidance on her adventures. Alys shows up as well, introducing herself to Mary and teasing Wildfall a little. Alys, Mary and Wildfall all decide to go on the quest for the Toot. After talking about her conversation with Jen, Alys stays behind while Wildfall and Mary head to her family's house.

He's impressed by the size of it. She says her "Mum" wants to turn part of the house into a clinic. Wildfall and Mary finally kiss, and then make out, and then head to their (separate) rooms to rest for the night.

It's pretty clear that Mary has dreamed of the kiss since their days in Ireaca in her youth.

In Adventure Party, Mary and Wildfall went to the Council to look for clues on the whereabouts of the Toot and found nothing helpful. They ran into Todd and Alys and the four of them went to see Capt Horatio at the docks. When Captain Horatio told of the rumors he had heard the group decide to split in half and check out the rumors with Alys and Mary going on the ship to investigate rumors to the north of Seaside Town and Wildfall and Todd heading to Whitey's Grove in the forests to do the same.

Since it was the last bit for this mission before Finale, I kinda drug my feet, but I'm fixing that now.

RP Notes on Wild and Todd's Excellent Adventure are pretty simple too. Todd doesn't seem to trust the Captain's motivation in taking Mary with him. Then he and Wildfall run across a strip mall in the forest and make fun of it.

They then run across a most excellent couple of babes from the future.. Clueless babes, though. Heavy metal heads.

The whole thing feels like the AIL version of When Bill and Ted met Wayne and Garth.. for 'some reason.

That's my second When Harry Met Sally reference this mission.

Anyway, the four take off together at the end.
