A pleased flush came to Sinjin's cheeks at her comment; he liked feeding people and was happy that his work was appreciated. "I am glad! We all work really hard to make sure there is something appetising for everyone. It is a chance to show the community how much we love them and how thankful we are to be apart of something."

Sinjin surveyed the kegs then started to flag people down to sort it all out. He was off duty and he was planning on having a fun night.

"Yeah, this is a good place," Bettina agreed, then she shrugged.? "I mean, I'm not so gullible to think it's all roses and sunshine, but I like it so far."? She gave the man a nod.? "Have a good time!? I'll look for you after I clean up."? That was going to take a bit of time, since she had to get Dobbin unhitched, but there was still plenty of party left!

It looks like I forgot to name one of the cities! It is to the north-east of the Whispering Woods on the map

I have come up with a few names in keeping with the naming conventions of the other settlements and I want you guys to vote for your top two and then whichever gets the most votes will win

Hi everyone!

One of the areas that has caused the most confusion about the setting is technology

This is one of the things we want to get written up and sorted out as quickly as possible as it does impact the roleplay and the characters

I want to get an idea of everyone’s interpretation on this – what do you envision the technology is like, the level of technology, the everyday technology etc

I know this is a hard question and I want to assure you there are no right or wrong answers as this is going to help us clarify the setting and get us all on the same page

I interpreted the setting as an egalitarian farming society with a mishmash of technology; some advance, some contemporary, and some more rudimentary.

To pick a very mundane example there would be central heating/air conditioning in the original buildings that would be controlled from a computer like panel. However, any extensions or new builds would not have this technology so would rely on fires or opening windows.

I would also like to know what kind of world you want to play in – more technology, less technology, weapons … I don’t really know, just let your imagination go wild

All of this will be really helpful for us!

You can comment below or email us

Thanks!

That is fair, and that is what we are trying to sort out. I didn't expect the group to actually go anywhere and made it all up in a few hours and then didn't go back and try and clarify and explain things. We aim to have more information up soon.

Did I not email you back about your character? i thought I had, oh well, my mistake. Yes, your character got where it was supposed to be. I hope to get her up soon

“It can be on the strong side,” he agreed, “can make for an interesting evening or more likely an embarrassing one! I sometimes think this town runs on gossip with the amount we all like to indulge in! Though, if there is any night to indulge then it is tonight. I can’t imagine you will be the only one what with the communal tent so conveniently placed.”

"Just like a big slumber party!"? Bettina laughed, setting down the last of the kegs, then adding, "Just please save some for me, I want to see if the rumors are true!"? The kegs were relatively small, not like the large ones that ale came in, and she wanted to be sure she at least got a taste.? "And everything here smells so good!? I'm going to put Dobbin up, then come back for supper!"? She grinned.? "And I promise not to try to sing and ruin the evening!"

Time:?Early evening?
Location:?Brea town centre
Characters:?Sebastian, Virgil, open

Virgil beamed at the older man's praise, feeling all warm and squishy on his insides about it. Most likely it was the combination of 'shrooms and alcohol talking, but who didn't want to feel appreciated? He nodded his head vigorously making his hair flop with the motion. Sebastian seemed to understand him.

Once Virgil opened the door and let someone in his heart, he gave everything he had. Even having been heartbroken once or twice hadn't really dampened the habit. And Rosalind and Ella deserve everything he could muster for them. And Nova and Cobbs, they taught him to love himself. After that it was easier to love others...

He looked up when Sebastian suggested they come for dinner, and that he should bring his family. Talk about making things 'official like' he called it. Virgil had never really thought of him and the girls as being 'unofficial', but he grinned at the idea of a?family?gathering. "I'd like that" he replied and let a giggle escape him at the old man's cackle.

Official... the word seeped into his mind. Virgil hadn't even taken his father's surname officially and he knew he should, after all Cobbs had more to do with raising him than his parents ever did... especially his real father. Nova was just a baby when their father found her, she had nothing right from the get go. Not even a name as a clue.

The young man looked at Sebastian through his thick, black hair that almost obscured his greenish hazel eyes that were half lidded because he was a little high, and a little drunk. Virgil gave a smile, "Now how about one of those raunchy stories?"

“I am well, thank you. I am glad to see new businesses at the festival! It keeps it exciting. How are you finding the town?”

She looked over his wares with interest, “what would you recommend?” It all looked the same too her and she was happy to admit her own ignorance. “I don’t often drink alcohol; I don’t even know where to start!”

Characters:?Sebastian, Virgil, open

Sebastian observed Virgil with a keen eye as the young man spoke and he liked what he saw; he was a little nervous or shy, Sebastian couldn’t tell, but he was honest and a little bit too sentimental about his lovers which Sebastian did not fault him for at all. If one was to indulge in sentimentality then it should be over ones loves.

“Good, lad. If you are going to love then you should love with all you have.” A wave of nostalgia swept over him; he remembered his courting days fondly, he loved what he had now, but those first few years of youthful love were some of his happiest memories.

“Rosalind is a special girl, as is that Ella – very thoughtful and caring, I liked her. You should all come for dinner one evening! Bring your side too. Real family get together. Then we can discuss when you lot are going to make it all official like!” he said with a cackle.

A shy but pleased smile appeared on her face, “Of course! Where would you like it?” she gestured Nova towards the chair and started to bustle around preparing her tools.

“I make a range of fabric dyes,” she said, considering the question thoughtfully, “I have not tried anything more complicated that two-tone gradients or manipulating the fabric so that a pattern emerges. I don’t see why it couldn’t be done; it may need some experimenting and may be quite labour intensive if aspects need to be hand painted so to speak.

What kind of thing did you have in mind?”

Location: Brea town centre

Characters: Rosalind, James Cobbs

James Cobbs: He smiled as he thought about the two souls he had adopted into his life, and who taken him into theirs. "I always keep an eye open for fabrics for Nova, I have a taste for vests after all" Cobbs said in a amused tone. He didn't really dress up, a vest was as formal as he got. Virgil had his own style and a fondness for leather, so much so he learned the basics of tanning so Nova would have something to work with.

"This is really good" he said swirling the wine in his cup. Cobbs head was pleasantly buzzed and he had only one cup.

------------------------------------------------------------

“Oh yes, and the vests do become you so,” Rosalind said, reaching out to touch the one he was wearing, lightly feeling the fabric and glancing at the fine stitching. It was obviously Nova’s work, which made sense. The man shared a house with the town seamstress after all.?

The honey wine struck fast. Rosalind was used to it, but she could see the effect on James Cobbs, something about smile and the way he stood. So she made a mental note to not give him more than a second cup, as he’d surely be cross with her if she got him so blistering drunk he didn't remember the celebration.?

She sipped her wine carefully, smiling at him. “Perhaps she could make a leather vest for Virgil? It would be an interesting addition to his wardrobe for sure.”

Time: Early evening

Location: Brea town centre
Characters: Rosalind, Old Man Cobbs

Rosalind:?“Do I need a special occasion to want a new dress?” Rosalind asked rhetorically, giving Cobbs a smile as they reached her booth. Leaning over the table set up in front, she procured two cups. “Honestly, I’m a creature of luxury. I simply want some change. I’ll give away an old dress or two to somebody who needs them more than I do,” she said as she poured honey wine first into one cup, then the other. The golden drink had a sweet aroma and deceptively sweet taste, but it packed a donkey punch. She was sure even Cobbs would wobble if he had more than two cups of it.?

“To a quick, successful and uneventful trip then,” she said, touching her cup gently to his before she took a sip. “And you know, if you find some rare fabric and bring back for Nova as a gift, she’ll probably sing your praises for weeks,” she added. She had a fondness for the seamstress, after all, it was she who created Rosalind’s favourite clothes.?
**
Cobbs raised his cup to her toast and took a drink. It was sweet and smooth, and he instantly felt a warmth inside his belly that told him the alcohol content was probably higher than he would have guessed. He smiled at Rosalind, "Little tough for me to give away clothes... although I guess Nova could alter them for someone else".

The rancher was a large man and he suddenly laughed at the thought of how much work it would be for Nova to take in his shirt for someone like her brother. It really wasn't that funny but he suppose that it was the wine that made him feel a little giddy. Virgil wasn't quite the waif he had been as a teenager, but he was still on the long and lean side. Boy needed to eat more in his opinion...

He smiled as he thought about the two souls he had adopted into his life, and who taken him into theirs. "I always keep an eye open for fabrics for Nova, I have a taste for vests after all" Cobbs said in a amused tone. He didn't really dress up, a vest was as formal as he got.

Characters: Rosalind, Old Man Cobbs

Old Man Cobbs: "Probably trade some livestock, got to keep the blood lines from inbreeding" he explained.?

He smiled at Rosalind, "I'll try to make the venture to Stob no thrills and quick. Virgil has already let me know how much trouble he'll have sleeping at the ranch alone". Cobbs mused because there were times that Virgil was still very much that boy from Ox Bow. He really should make the trip there one Spring soon, maybe cut through the Barrow as a shorter route...

"So a new dress, is there a special occasion?" he asked wondering if perhaps he forgot Virgil's birthday or something.

------------------------------------------------------------

“Do I need a special occasion to want a new dress?” Rosalind asked rhetorically, giving Cobbs a smile as they reached her booth. Leaning over the table set up in front, she procured two cups. “Honestly, I’m a creature of luxury. I simply want some change.

Rosalind: (...)?“I’ll make sure to let you know if there’s anything I’ll require,” Rosalind assured him. Her bed would be colder without Virgil in it, but thankfully she’d have Ella there at least. There was little that was more depressing than an empty bed and no one to share it with.”What’s your business in Stob? I might want some materials to give to Nova for a new dress,” she said, already considering how to turn the situation into an advantage.
----------------------------------------------------

"Probably trade some livestock, got to keep the blood lines from inbreeding" he explained. Although he and Anna Crane had a deal when it came to cattle in Brea, since she had dairy and he had beef stocks. His ranch was mostly horses and Cobbs favored a good all purpose breed that could pull a plow for a farmer like young Felicity. Or a freight wagon for St. John. But still be fast and durable enough for messengers between towns.

He smiled at Rosalind, "I'll try to make the venture to Stob no thrills and quick. Virgil has already let me know how much trouble he'll have sleeping at the ranch alone".

Characters: Rosalind, Old Man Cobbs

Old Man Cobbs:? Cobbs didn't think anyone would ever leash that boy of his. But he was happy and loved, what more could a parent want? His brows arched upward and a smile curled his mouth as the old man jutted out an elbow. "Why Miss Rosalind, I would be deeee-lighted to partake in some sweet spirits with you" he replied amused, maybe he would find one or both of his children in the festivities later.

"I'm driving out to Stob at the end of the month, so I might need to borrow Virgil from you to watch the ranch" he said casting his gaze across the faces around them. "If you need anything you'll let me know, yes?" Cobbs turned his head to grin at her. "Although Virgil says your place is fairly self sustaining".

------------------------------------------------------------

Rosalind grinned and took the offered elbow with grace. Nothing like the promise of something sweet and alcoholic to raise the spirits, she thought with amusement as they started wandering back towards her own stand. It wouldn’t hurt to break open the honey wine this early, all things considered. She did have a keg or two in the basement of Hanami too, just in case.?

“I’ll make sure to let you know if there’s anything I’ll require,” Rosalind assured him. Her bed would be colder without Virgil in it, but thankfully she’d have Ella there at least.

What do you say?”?
