Housepets!

It's fine! It's my fault anyway as I was/am having a hard time and taking forever to have Star meet up with someone anyway, need to fix that.

I just pmed Jolty-Kun to see if they could post if anyone else was waiting on them.

Sorry about that Neon, I could pop up another red panda character to "lead" Star in that direction?

It's a shame Zachary doesn't have a hat to put Wednesday under.

Tarot drives the Foxes around here!

Pretty sure it's Pecan's and Civ's turns next.

Same, but add Hlaoroo as well.

I hope I don't come off as annoying or I'm trying to double post when I post these but I AM the assistant gm and we DO need to try to keep the role play going. So. AND if you have writers block, ask for suggestions here! Everyone else would be glad to help!

No, you're fine, xhunter. Thanks for the poke. ^^

Sorry and future advanced sorry if you feel like you have to wait up on me to post, been used to going like a snail here not doing much. Go ahead and just skip over my 'turn' like has been done before, unless specifically addressed I am not going to have a lot to contribute to making this part of the story move along.

Everyone has something to contribute to the story Civ. How do you think we could include Meeko more? Also, apologies to Gael, I don't have the new players characters down yet.

Very well then, I shall keep poking so we keep moving. I usually wait for about a week after last post, generally.

Hey! It's the last month of summer. Are there any days coming up that we would all be able to post on the same day?

It's alright, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, besides I think it's fun to try to roll with them as best as you can

*poke* Who are we waiting on?

I have no idea, given how long it's been I was contemplating posting about that myself

*pokes thread*

Civ does not think Meeko can respond to anything, so I am going to have Trello give him something to respond to soon. However, I am waiting for Val to have someone respond to Benjamin's 'oh dear' comment. Unless someone else wants to go before then.

I just realized Jolty hasn't been here for a while I wonder what happened

Sorry guys, I caught a cold. It'll be a bit before I post again.

Alrighty, hope you get well soon!

I am back now, feeling much better, and ready to RP again! Put me in, coach!

Erm, can someone more knowledgable about police procedures handle the grenade site, please? I dunno what I'm doing here, heh.

*pokes thread*

I would but I don't know much about police procedures either other than that they usually isolate (is that the right word?) the crime scene and investigate stuff sometimes

Still accepting players?
If clothing isn't allowed (I'm just going by what I saw in this RP via my research), then I can remove it.

Name: Lorne Strider
Character: Main
Species: Dog (Doberman)
Age: 4 (32 Human Years)
Neighborhood: Sunset Plateau
Text Color - #0040FF

Appearance: Tall with black fur like the night sky with rust-color markings and aqua-colored eyes. He wears chain link collar that he fashioned himself and sports a dark brown 'Indian Cowboy' leather jacket with a pair of blue jeans covering his boots and a dark brown cowboy hat.

Personality: He has a bit of a rough side to him when it's required i.e saving someone's hide in a fight or defending himself (think Chuck Norris but can actually fight). Otherwise, he is pretty friendly and is one of those who will look out for anyone and will treat any friend like family.

Other Notes: Skilled mechanic and, when he's not working out (Just to keep in shape), he loves working on vehicles of all sorts, especially motorcycles (including his '95 Harley Davidson). Regarding his rough side, one of his first jobs was as a bouncer for a bar...but he was let go for being "Too Good At His Job" (He sent a drunk patron to the hospital after being kicked...through a window....).

SPECIAL:
Str - 8
Per - 6
End - 6
Cha - 5
Int - 5
Agi - 6
Luck - 5

I like him. Although I can't help but picture him speaking with a Texan drawl.

The only thing I'd suggest is adding a little more back story. Does he have an owner? What brought him to SP?

Also, he'll probably get some strange looks for all his clothes but there are no laws against pets wearing what they like so no one will say anything.

Hehe.

Well, He does have an owner but I was having a bit of issue with it (just some minor stuff). Basic idea is that his owner owns a ranch and is part Native America hence 'Lorne's' name. While he did enjoy working the ranch, he always loved riding his Harley through the country side with his owner and enjoyed working on vehicles, so with help from his owner, Lorne moved out to SP to open up a mechanic shop that specializes in bikes (Like Harley's) and classic muscle cars and trucks.

I like it. If any town is going to have pets doing human jobs it's going to be Sunset Plateau. My only question is this: is the job going to leave him enough time to interact with the pets?

It should as he works out of his own garage and sets his own hours and such.

All right. I suppose it's conceivable that he could have employees to keep it going while he's not there.

Welcome to SP! Feel free to jump in wherever you like. ^^

OK! So, just from the posts, I take it everyone's at the Red Panda area?

My guy (Zachary) is in the Pizzaria. With one Rat and 50 Red Pandas.

Ah OK. Guess that's where Lorne will come in (sans the Harley as...hehe don't want to scare anyone )

Okay.

Who is waiting on whom?

My guy is waiting to be seated so I guess I'm waiting on the Waiter?

I'm just waiting on Pecan. He said he'd post today though.

It's a pizzeria. Just grab a table.

(Ignore the PM) Alright (I was just going by what the last post said).

Which I'd not noted. My fault. (and I'm still not getting notifications e-mailed to me...)

So I might be asking a stupid question but what do I do when I have no ideas

Gael wrote:So I might be asking a stupid question but what do I do when I have no ideas

Become a Member of Parliament.

Or find other characters and interact with them. Ideas are rarer - and less fun - than banter.

Gael wrote:So I might be asking a stupid question but what do I do when I have no ideas

Kill it, start over. XD

Kinda serious but not kinda serious. Since your asking for ideas, try these:

Your character gets hungry, have them want to check out the new pizza place.

Your character sees a new "NOT amiibo"/ other widget but it's on sale at the local wally world so they have to go get it.

If they're an (extreme?)introvert/extrovert, how do they deal with running into other pets/people emotionally? Internal/external dialogue?

Introvert: Pretend to, and then miserably fail/succeed at being a ninja.
Extrovert: How many people can they tell about the exciting new thing they are doing and try to get them to tag along?

Do they get home safely? They don't? They have to spend the night elsewhere? They get lost?

Here's a writing quote that's badly paraphrased that you may or may not have seen that I like that you might as well: Good writing is having your character want something, then spending the next 200 pages preventing them from getting it.

Or something like that.

Yo, so I haven't been on the forums in like forever, but is it too late to get back in here? I have to redo my character sheet, since it's way out of date, but let me know. Thanks for your time, friends.

Sure, I think we've still got room!
Welcome back!
