Thanks, again...

...so glad that everyone is enjoying the pics and the posts and the potential of what we've got going, here.

Speaking of potential... got a PM from Haru, last night, with a bit of a background for his character... went ahead and added that to the Jean Gusto entry in the Cast and Crew thread... This guy should prove interesting.

NPC goodness

Thanks for the kind words! Megs was way more fun then she should have been to think up ~ I had pages and pages of interaction between the two of them that I ended up not having in the post due to the fact that I think it would have been over kill.

PS ~ don't be too worried by the edit time on my post. I'm looking at it with fresh eyes, and seeing grammar mistakes.

My, my.

Goodness the activity, and such a fine read too.
Great job everyone!

I hope to get time to get more up soon, my notes are here and ready. Just readjusting to school life, and I've some paperwork to attend to before I can relax with my posts.

Cheers mates!

Aww crud, she's being all technical and whatnot

It occurs to me that my fellow players may not know what a Sea Shanty singer is. Shanties were used aboard ships as a way to synchronize the sailors while they worked at repetitive tasks (such as raising a sail). Several of these were in call and answer format, with the Shantyman calling and the sailors answering in sync with an action. For example:
Paddy Doyle Lyrics from Iron Men & Wooden Ships, by Frank Shay
To my, [Shanty Singer] Ay, [response with a yank on a rope] And we'll furl, [Shanty Singer] Ay, [response with a yank on a rope] And pay Paddy Doyle for his boots. [this is a moment to catch one’s breath, usually sung just by the shantyman]
We'll sing, [Shanty Singer] Ay, [response with a yank on a rope] And we'll heave, [Shanty Singer] Ay, [response with a yank on a rope] And we'll hang Paddy Doyle for his boots. [this is a moment to catch one’s breath, usually sung just by the shantyman]
We'll heave,
Ay,
With a swing,
Ay,
And we'll all drink brandy and gin.

A full description of all the different types of shanties can be found here at ISSA: International Shanty and Seasong Association.
So, what I’m getting at is that in some of my posts, I may end up using an honest to goodness shanty and post the crew as a whole in a call and response. Feel free to use what I’m posting in your posts, or choose not to.

In addition, I’ll be posting up song credits under Willow’s crew bio. If I can find it, I’ll also include a link to online music/youtube/whatever of that particular song so you guys can get a better idea as to how it sounds. [Hooray! Soundtrack to our life!]. I will also include songs that Willow sings that were collaborated posts with other players. Some of these songs aren’t actually songs at all, but merely poetry; I’ll be posting up site credits for these as well!

Let me know if you want to collaborate anything involving the Bard ~ I welcome it! I’ll be sending you each a request in the course of the game, but feel free to ‘jump the gun’ and send me one first.

Lovely information Celeste, looking forward to our soundtrack

Although... you better watch out, I think you are about to outshine me. And I'm not sure I can handle the competition. JK Good work!

*blushes*

Thanks Meri, although it wasn't my intention! I'm just terribly detail oriented in my gaming style ~ I'm lucky enough to have awesome RPers to game with here at the Inn, and with the D&D game I DM at home, I've got awesome players who enjoy details [see: maps, layouts, histories, complete shop inventories w/ unique shopkeepers, etc.]

*silence*

Just so you know, the rope runner will be deliberately not singing with the crew (for reasons that will likely be revealed in time). He will enjoy the songs well enough, perhaps even do a sort of blade dance with his daggers if something's up beat enough. Just not sing or raise his voice for the songs.

No worries, Lady D...

...we're not really into the "meat" of the adventure, yet, anyway... I'm perfectly fine with an at your own pace, get comfortable in your character's skin, fluffy RP kind of thing right now, anyway.

RL gets a hold of us all from time to time, we know... I am, however, hoping to launch us into more *ahem* troublesome waters by the first of the week, though. Or at least get our toes in, eh?

ack

My deepest apologies for not getting a post up yet everybody, there's just more and more to catch up with each day and since I've started working life's gotten quite a bit more hectic. Anyways, my new plan is to set aside the bio for now and just post a short character description for everyone so I can more properly get into the meat of the game, I just want to start posting with y'all! Okay more reading to do...
