Africa?

[decipheredhieroglyphics]

So, let's talk about going to Africa.

Specifically -- let's discuss WHO is going and what's going to happen. I'd like to see input from everyone who wants their character to go to Africa and chase after Enjolras and Grantaire.

Or, alternatively, discuss WHETHER Les Amis should actually go through with it.

Because I think this is going to be a huge timeline to RP through and it's not something we should just wing as we go.

Plus, I think TC + Vee have some thoughts on how they want their storyline in Africa to go that may not mesh with Les Amis showing up, so getting all our stories to work together would be AWESOME.

I'd very much be all for them actually going to Africa and having adventures there. I know it would be a huge undertaking, but I also think it would be tons of fun. We could always just do one or two adventures actually played through, and then finding the others (since it sounds like Vee's cool with us finding Enjolras and Grantaire; I must have missed the livestream or not been paying attention when TC gave her views, and if she doesn't want to have Les Amis find them that's cool). Anything else we want to have happened we can hammer out in this community and then just have the characters write their own take on it. Or we could even just toss ideas back and forth here and then have our characters do a summary of events at the end of the day.

There is also the possibility of having multiple threads running at once. So if we're being really slow with our adventures and E&R need to come home we can always just jump to that and have the happy reunion.

So, overall, Courfeyrac would like to assist in punching Africa, at least a little bit. I'm game for any way that people want to do it, and certainly if TC or Vee want to veto any of our plans that's fine too. This started as their adventure, after all.

Don't worry about the livestream. You weren't in that one and such. Basically, TC and I made plans before about Yuri coming in and saving them. Mainly because we were the only active ones really in the rp. And then the rp got active! And totally awesome!

And that tends to be a big thing about unplanned rps. Sometimes they'll take off. And I'm in no way wishing to stomp on anyone's ideas or pretendy happy fun times. Hell, I'm just happy when more people are involved.

I would love to see more happen, especially since the shit is about to hit the fan with E&R.

I see that things are happening! Dramatic things.

I'm having tons of fun with the RP. It's sometimes hard to find time to do as much as I'd like, but it's great to just be able to fiddle with the characters.

It's why we're really laid-back here. I think it'd be impossible to wrangle everyone into some sort of 'you must post X amount of times to be a part of this rp!' when we're not, like, all in high school or what have you. To each their own for times.

Africa with lots more Amis would be a riot of fun to RP :D


However, I just wanna mention: no one, I repeat, no one, should let Combeferre go anywhere in Africa by himself. Not only is he not an outdoorsman, but, well, he's Combeferre. He will get into trouble. :D So I request a volunteer to -- not necessarily babysit Combeferre, but, um, be ready to bail him out when he inevitably almost gets himself killed by doing something he thought was perfectly innocuous. He can take care of himself when it comes to, say, attacks by people or animals. But, you know, the supernatural sorts of things are going to happen and ensnare him, so a second pair of hands to get him away from demons he might awaken from rock collecting (for example!) are eminently...necessary. :)

Courfeyrac's going to be trying very hard to keep anyone else from getting into too much mortal peril. He will be prepared to save Combeferre should rock collecting prove to be a very dangerous habit to cultivate.

The others may, in return, need to save Courfeyrac from any supernatural entities that are terribly pretty, terribly sad, or an unfair combination of the two.

And others may have to save Bahorel from breaking or punching various objects and/or people. ^^;
Given what's going down with the messages from Enjolras and Eddie, I'm thinking that could lead to some pretty bad consequences.
