Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

Haha, dress-up again?

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[playfreebird]

It would seem to be a trend.

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[dormancy]

So, it seems. But we have to appeal to the rest of Aather now.

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[playfreebird]

Or frighten them...

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[dormancy]

What truly frightens someone isn't as simple as a monster, though those can be terrifying.

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[sticksofthejedi]

I don't think there's anything out there that's particularly intimidating.

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[dormancy]

Thank you for being a fine example.

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[sticksofthejedi]

Wait, example of what?

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[dormancy]

That fears are hard to find with some. We're being judged by our peers, so we should try to do what would attract their attention while staying within the boundaries of the game, don't you think?

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[sticksofthejedi]

Oh, sure. That does make sense.

[eavesdropping on you and Vincent]

I like the idea of someone that's somehow broken... or rather, I think it's a bit horrifying, which is better.

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[sticksofthejedi]

Anything you would do to build on it?

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[ambassador]

Perhaps cripple it further? A dragging mechanical leg, machinery and wires spilling from the forearms, bruises on the skin... or perhaps even without the mechanical aspect, just make one of us up to be hideously wounded.

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[sticksofthejedi]

It'd have to be pretty grisly wounds.

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[ambassador]

I think we'd be a lot scarier if we could at least jump out at people... a shocking appearance is so much more effective when it comes as a surprise.

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[dormancy]

Which is why we may have to consider alternatives.

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[ambassador]

It's too bad Obsidian isn't playing, we could just have him stand there and strike a hunting pose.

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[dormancy]

Haha, true. Though, many people know there isn't much to fear from him by now.

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[playfreebird]

I'm not sure we can reply on a performance aspect.

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[ambassador]

No, unfortunately, I think we're being judged on appearance alone.

Re: [Discussion/Mingle]

[playfreebird]

[thoughtful, thoughtful]

Which of us do you think would be the best to work with?

A small woman stands wearing a long robe with the hood drawn low and a dark veil spreading across her face, almost as if there were nothing beneath the hood. She stands in the center of a painting of five shadows fanning out around her that reaches the tip of her robes. For a long while, she waits, perhaps watching you if you could make out her eyes . . . Then, she slowly draws her hands up to her hood and takes hold of it. There's a pause, then she wrenches it down!
