The following is transcribed from a Chat that began the whole thing

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/731"> Speaking of, want to cheat on [Tarunik] to do some freeform one-on-one? I can toss you one of my standard openings...

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/650"> i would have but i think he finally posted. https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f604.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="smile" alt=":smile:" title="smile" />

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/731"> Doesn't negate my offer https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f600.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="grinning" alt=":)" title=":)" /> I'm capable of playing more than one thread at a time, and I'd probably grab a different character anyway, I don't have a standard opening for Niko.

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/650"> https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-static/static/images/tdwtf/facepalm.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="tdwtf" data-emoji-id="facepalm" alt=":facepalm:" title="facepalm" width="20" height="20" /> you meant just us two.

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/650"> sure. spin one up and give me the opening. https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f609.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="wink" alt=";-)" title=";-)" />

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/731">  Great https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f600.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="grinning" alt=":)" title=":)" /> How's a beauty-and-the-beast type opening sound? I've got a character that has one of those as a stock opening. Got a character, preferably attracted to men to leave ships open, that would make a good accountant?

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/650"> hmm... beauty in the beast....

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/650"> i've got Echo, he's a rather unique healer. and i havent had a chance to play him in a while....

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/650"> might be a bit rusty bit that could be fun.

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/731"> I can work with a medical type https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f600.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="grinning" alt=":)" title=":)" /> I'll toss you an opening

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/650"> medical type......

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/650"> not exactly...

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/650"> like i said his technique is unique.

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/650"> also, very fun for GMs

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/650"> last time i played him we were running: fighter, mage, healer, Echo

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/731"> oh gosh https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f606.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="laughing" alt="XD" title="XD" /> let's hope this works! He can be discrete?

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/650"> depends on how much he has to heal.

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/650"> he's not compulsive about it if that's what you mean and his technique isn't showy, but it does sometimes involve a bit of shouting and sometimes fainting.

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/731"> Awesome. I'll rely on you to help conspire to keep him in the house as long as possible so he can start to discover the secrets then https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f600.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="grinning" alt=":)" title=":)" /> I figure you'll want inner narration about the situation before you meet anyone so I've left it off just short of meeting the Steward

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/650"> you had to pick illness..... or possibly poison

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/650"> Echo is a combat medic primarily. He'll be able to cure but.... yep you kept him around for a bit.

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/650"> https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f609.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="wink" alt=";-)" title=";-)" />

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/731"> Sweet https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f603.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="smiley" alt=":D" title=":D" /> Lance is one of my favorites, but I think since I like you and all I'll make the Steward another of my favorites so you get two for one https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f600.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="grinning" alt=":)" title=":)" />

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/650"> hope you like soldier boys. https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f609.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="wink" alt=";-)" title=";-)" />

https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/731">  Sexy https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f5e1.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="dagger" alt=":dagger:" title="dagger" />

The following is... I dunno, some NodeBB fuckup

Yup. The part I was pointing out was that Lance got infected when he was clawed up by a werewolf... and he attempted to claw up his uncle.

[accalia]

I forgot why i don't tend to bring Echo out very often. He's a fun character to play but dang it's hard to keep remembering that Echo always talks in third person.

Hey look, the OP is a wiki now, to match the other OOC threads. Excelsior! --Ed

[yamikuronue]

Yay we got to the B&B part https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f600.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="grinning" alt=":)" title=":)" />

[yamikuronue]

OK if I railroad Echo back into finding Siegfried after his nap? I figure I'll give him delicious food smells to chase after and they can meet up in the kitchen

[accalia]

sure. he'll probably be out for about 16 hours and... that black mucus will probably not wash out of the comforter.... sorry, but at least it isn't in Rosanna...

and i've lost count of now many times i've mistyped that as roxanna

[accalia]

it's nice to be moving quickly on this one! https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f61b.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="stuck_out_tongue" alt=":stuck_out_tongue:" title="stuck_out_tongue" />

if Siegfried is currious about echo, he should ask. this is as good a time as any and for the most part Echo operates on the assumption that if you ask the question you deserve the truth.

there's only two subject areas he won't talk about, what his name is (you heard him refer to Echo as a face-name already) and exactly how old he is (although one could guess given his scarring.... https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f609.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="wink" alt=";-)" title=";-)" />)

[yamikuronue]

Unfortunately, siggy isn't going to pry; it would be un-butler-like. He's on his best behavior right now, trying to present a good face on behalf of Lance. Hopefully we can get them more comfortable with each other fairly rapidly though https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f600.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="grinning" alt=":)" title=":)" /> Siggy's ecstatic about having someone to cook for https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f603.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="smiley" alt=":D" title=":D" />

Some meta backstory: The Roidmet family is the family I've been playing, in some form or another, for about ten years now. I can and have literally played them in my sleep https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f600.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="grinning" alt=":)" title=":)" /> My husband picked the surname, my character married his and they had a bunch of kids and cousins and whatnot get introduced over time. In their original canon these characters would be called Lamda and Sigma, but I usually go with Lance (or Lancelot) and Siegfried (or Sigmund sometimes) for a more fantasy setting. Which explains why I can't spell Siegfried with any consistency https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f606.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="laughing" alt="XD" title="XD" /> The dead characters for this RP are Gamma/Gregory (my husband's longest-played character), his wife Aldrea, and their daughter Mu/Muriel.

shame. maybe rosanna will be more curious. https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f609.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="wink" alt=";-)" title=";-)" />

i'll let you decide how to handle her.

the way Echo heals one of two things would have happened. Either Rosanna would have basically blacked out once their blood mingled and woken up healed (although she does have to recover. all Echo did was remove what made her sick) or she would have "seen" and "felt" what Echo did from Echo's perspective.

of course you didn't get to see Echo's ability at it's most spectacular, illness is mostly an internal thing. a broken arm or leg would have been more fun to show. And given what's happened so far you can probably guess why given Echo's reaction after the healing.

Echo is an interesting fellow, no?
