Florie Punt  player, 1 post Fri 13 Nov 2020 at 23:15	msg #3 Traveling for next few daysall right. not much to say to that other than I got the message and will come up with a character bio. warning: I do a good job of coming up with a character's appearance and personality, but not at backstories, so expect something barebones.
Florie Punt  player, 2 posts Sat 21 Nov 2020 at 23:26	msg #4 Traveling for next few daysDistracted by RL. Hold on! I'll post something up on Monday.
Raziel  GM, 4 posts  Regem Angelorum  Venite adoremus Mon 23 Nov 2020 at 13:57	msg #5 Traveling for next few daysBack online. Hope you're still interested in the game.
Florie Punt  player, 3 posts Mon 23 Nov 2020 at 23:22	msg #6 Traveling for next few daysYes, still interested. I will brainstorm a background (again, not great at that) later and maybe post today as well.
Raziel  GM, 5 posts  Regem Angelorum  Venite adoremus Tue 24 Nov 2020 at 12:44	msg #7 Traveling for next few daysHappy to help you with your background, if you would like. I'm looking forward to playing with you.

Florie Punt  player, 4 posts Wed 25 Nov 2020 at 02:13	msg #9 Florie PuntOoookay. Insofar as my fried brain can generate words, I have a basic idea: Florie has four siblings in a working class household. The slums. Lives with a strict, disciplinarian mother. Seeks refuge in rebellion. Runs away. Petty scammer. Runs into a "Professor" LaBlanche, a tall, spectral and icy man (who I envision as gay, but not exactly open about it) who plays the part of her uncle. She acted as confederate in a fake séance act which traveled around Great Britain. Whether actually French or not, LaBlanche could speak it like a native and over the next few years, he made sure to immerse her in the language by speaking it all the time. Why, for Florie, an advantage of speaking French over English? So she could hide her working class accent, which, as herself, she would have difficulty doing. The fake French accent enable her to sound "proper". One to three years ago, Flroie had a falling-out with LaBlanche (kind of a jerk) or something, leaving her on her own.
Florie Punt  player, 5 posts Wed 25 Nov 2020 at 20:02	msg #10 Florie PuntI will improve on this, when I have time! ("Fried", BTW, refers not to chemical use but having a busy day.)
Florie Punt  player, 6 posts Sun 29 Nov 2020 at 02:17	msg #11 Florie PuntA question for ya. Will you ask me to roll or will you do this rules-invisible? I don't have a preference. Just asking! Also, I have updated my character bio.
Raziel  GM, 8 posts  Regem Angelorum  Venite adoremus Mon 30 Nov 2020 at 13:02	msg #12 Florie PuntMostly this will just be interactive storytelling. Only if there gets to be a real chance occurrence will I ask you to roll the dice. I like the addition to your bio. Nice depth.
Florie Punt  player, 7 posts Mon 30 Nov 2020 at 20:03	msg #13 Florie PuntThanks! I think I improved on it.
Raziel  GM, 11 posts  Regem Angelorum  Venite adoremus Wed 2 Dec 2020 at 13:26	msg #14 Florie PuntI tend to write in the present tense for role playing. It increases the sense of immediacy for me as I compose. I slip and will even mix tenses from time to time. I grew up being taught that third person past tense was the correct narrative form. But so much of what I was taught at school was bullshit. If you would rather one than the other, I'm happy to accommodate.
Florie Punt  player, 9 posts Wed 2 Dec 2020 at 20:06	msg #15 Florie PuntI apologize if I sounded passive-aggressive! I posted yesterday in a hurry. just say "keep present tense!" or "keep past tense!" and I'll go with whichever one. also, I forgot to thank you for the info on money. could you point me to a good reference for this, in case it might come up? one bit of IC detail that I forgot to incorporate into last night's post: Florie passes herself off as an orphan. people who already know her (or the persona, rather) know this about her.
Raziel  GM, 15 posts  Regem Angelorum  Venite adoremus Sat 5 Dec 2020 at 13:08	msg #16 Florie PuntPresent tense it is. I realize I keep dropping into it no matter how I start the piece. As I said, it just feels so much more immediate for me. As to trusting Julian, she's only just met him. He seems very nice, very handsome, witty, genuine, etc. Indeed, I am hoping that she will allow him to woo her as the story progresses. An upfront confidence for her to him would go a long way to increasing their bond right now, but if she confesses to being a fraud and trying to trick the Leatherby's out of money she will put herself in a very different class than he is and she would not judge that he would keep her secret. She is essentially an enemy of his friend and they are just strangers on a train. But if she were to tell him her cover story in confidence, that would be well accepted and put her in an exotic light. In general, I plan to talk through things rather than roll dice, though in a few days it would be nice to come up with a character sheet for her along with a list of her gear.
Florie Punt  player, 12 posts Sat 5 Dec 2020 at 20:10	msg #17 Florie Punt quote: Indeed, I am hoping that she will allow him to woo her as the story progresses. yeah, I kind of guessed!

I had in mind something less radical than revealing everything... still risky, though.
Florie Punt  player, 13 posts Fri 11 Dec 2020 at 20:09	msg #18 Florie PuntI have a crappy news... as much as you said from the onset that the game would involve flirting, the romance angle does not work for me in practice. Based on PBP roleplaying in the past, I thought it best to say so directly. I would like to continue with the game, though, if you don't mind. I have liked what you have written so far.
Raziel  GM, 18 posts  Regem Angelorum  Venite adoremus Fri 11 Dec 2020 at 21:53	msg #19 Florie PuntI'm glad you're enjoying the story. We can certainly continue on a more straightforward horror story if you wish. Romance is not everyone's cup of tea.
Florie Punt  player, 14 posts Sat 12 Dec 2020 at 02:09	msg #20 Florie Puntah, thank you! I will post again probably tomorrow.
Florie Punt  player, 16 posts Thu 17 Dec 2020 at 23:07	msg #21 Florie Puntwaylaid by Life! will post again when I have gotten done with RL duties.
Raziel  GM, 20 posts  Regem Angelorum  Venite adoremus Fri 18 Dec 2020 at 14:18	msg #22 Florie PuntIt's for fun, not a chore. Enjoy your holiday, however you celebrate.
Raziel  GM, 22 posts  Regem Angelorum  Venite adoremus Wed 6 Jan 2021 at 15:56	msg #23 Florie PuntHope your new year is going well. Let me know if you would like to continue the story.
Florie Punt  player, 17 posts Thu 7 Jan 2021 at 23:21	msg #24 Florie PuntI know! gah! I will compose a response, then post it.
Raziel  GM, 23 posts  Regem Angelorum  Venite adoremus Fri 8 Jan 2021 at 14:06	msg #25 Florie PuntTake your time. It's supposed to be fun, not an obligation
Florie Punt  player, 18 posts Sun 10 Jan 2021 at 02:09	msg #26 Florie Puntoh, not every GM on RPOL.net understands that, as you probably know! I won't post on Sundays as I set that aside as my internet-free day of the week. so Monday. or nothing. saying that to motivate myself and not procrastinate any longer!
Florie Punt  player, 19 posts Sun 17 Jan 2021 at 02:24	msg #27 Florie PuntFinally, apologies for the writer's block!
