Retreat! (OOC)

Do you want to continue this awkward non-conversation, of shall we fast-forward through the dinner to the 'games' after? We can assume or reference anything that may have happened between Emma and Persephone and anyone else.

I figure there will be some 'team' element to the 'games'. Do you two want to end up on the same team together, or do they separate you? When we go out into the park for the finale part, who do you want to have with you? It might be 3 teams of 4, or 4 teams of 3, or some other combination (there were meant to be 12 of you, but now the numbers are odd).

I'm ok to fast forward through dinner, personally. And maybe put Pers and Emma on opposite teams? Emma is a bit pissed at Henry, so she might do something to make him jealous. Pairing her with William, and Pers with Henry, will increase the odds of that happening, but I'm fine with any other combination, really.

You do a great job of playing Emma!
*blush*

But really, I think there's high-quality writing all around. I really am enjoying this game.

I like the idea of Persephone getting shoved back at Henry, in part because of what it might mean for Persephone and Emma’s relationship.
Jun 4, 2025 7:46 pm
Yes, I agree. We can make it a bit messy, and see what kind of new dynamics emerge.
Jun 4, 2025 7:48 pm
Sounds like a plan... (I suspect the word 'terrible' should have been inserted in there, but can't see how to fit it... oh well, never mind:).

How many people in each team? 3 or 4?

Three is magic number, yes it is

OK, for this part they seem to pairing you off as 'couples' so 'Sin and Kat are on another team.

William is a 'senior member', which senior member do Persephone Henry get 'paired' with? Charlotte or Reginald?

Does Emma end up with Percy, or some other rando?

We currently have three members of our party unnamed, we could put them on a team together with whoever is left and mostly forget about them?

I'm Ok with adding Percy to Emma's team, and forget about all the other nameless NPCs.

Go for it. Interesting that they don't pair him with Wakefield, who brought him. Perhaps the Persephone/Henry pairing has other meaning? :)

Hmm! I think it should be Gms choice since I am not familiar with the two NPCs in question. I skimmed some of the older threads but did not retain a lot of it, unfortunately

One's a boy, one's a girl, there is little else to distinguish them so far. Choose based on that, else I will toss a coin. If you would prefer some 'second-tier management' like Lawrence Wakefield, we can do that too.

Ok the boy, simply based on the odds that he is somewhat more likely to be a possible target of seduction.

You can assume all my characters are fair game. :)

ah, good! I like that assumption!

That's an '11' on the Let it Out ;)
I want to avoid any complications, and take the corruption - Emma's team for the win! (and make people take notice of her, like she so desperately wanted).

Oh poop! GP ate my post, apparently. I posted last night and was planning on taking the competitive approach as well. Well, then! Let the games begin!

Oh Noes! Did GP eat it, or did you forget to post it? Do we need to look into it?

Such a pity you did not post first, we all know that posting first means you win! :)

I think we can treat Emmas 11 while using a specialist skill (coupled with her familiarity with escape rooms) as her coming out on top for this bit?
Jun 7, 2025 5:27 am
Yep I think so. This is definitely more her thing than Persephone’s, plus that’s a good roll!
