In human terms, Ciaran would be around...23?

No one knows what pirate cat does in his down time... Though I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with ritual sacrifices o .o

Alright, put your your sheet in the thread Love.

And for those who are new, this is pretty much as "post as you feel like it" game, so you don't need to wait for every other player to post in between posts but do leave time now and then for others to make an appearance.

I posted, albeit a bit late, but that makes the fire scene a lot more exciting.

Please do, and no worries about posting late. I'm not exactly "with it" at the moment and likely wont be for another few days. Blah.

@DFL (dark-forbidden love) Silvery-grey cat? That's not Quintus, is it?

No the 'silvery-grey' cat is not Quintus. It is Simone, who is also trapped in the building.

I just noticed that since no one knew how to defeat the dog and we all got nailed by writer's block, that probably should have been GAME OVER... instead, epic acts of heroism gave us all 1-ups

The dog wasn't interested in attacking the cats. I just assumed everyone came in through the window. Not everything is going to be a kill-it-or-die scenario. ;)

Short post is short. ^^'

And I kinda like to make my own deus ex machina instead of depending on mercy in future occurrences.

I don't think there should be any DEM at all on either end because it basically means plot failure. With the sudden appearance of that many rats it didn't look to me like everyone was going to make it out of the fight and if a character dies in RP, is stays dead. Hence I brought the jack in to even the odds.

Anyway, war event took priority at the time and I decided to move things along since it did seem the lot of us were at a block. On the whole though, I'd rather see plot and story moved forward by the cat's own actions and initiative rather than outside forces creating and solving problems on a regular basis.

I don't mind players bringing in things but keep in mind that events that do happen affect every character and I want to avoid too much chaos because of constant epic scale events that don't have a lot to with developing the storyline.

...uh oh. I need to go back and see if my post collided with yours.

EDIT: GAH nvm, read that wrong.

So I guess we're chasing ghosts...and a home. XD

Right now it's get out of the fire. ;). Then we figure out what we do. Since non of the shops cats know what happened given they were either asleep or not around when the fire actually started, we'd have to see if the outside cats know or saw anything.

This, of course, doesn't mean their isn't any behind the scenes stuff going on. If anyone wants to add notes about their character's motivations or ideas they may have picked up, (like if Quintus is still wanting to look for the missing calico cat) feel free to bring it up here, or if there's anything that anyone would really like to see incorporated into the story.

Poggio has had to leave with means Jinx has gone missing too. That hasn't been addressed in the story yet.

It sounds like if Kage finds that out, then we would have to drag out that cat, lest we lose another to a cause in vain.

If we DON'T rescue Jinx (for example, didn't have enough time, doorway collapsed, etc.) could we say that when the cats went back, they so no trace of him? Then if Poggio wants to re-join, we could say somehow he'd survived.
