The pawsting business is tough work.
Breakdown is as follows.

Mewcephalus: Noble | Technical - Dex 8
Daniel: Minstrel | Attack - Average set at 6
Jingle: Farmer | Magic - Average set at 6
Qistina: Healer | Magic - Int/Spi 8
Peregrine: Artisan | Technical - Dex 8
Ballast: Hunter | Technical - Str 8

Leader: ???
Mapper: Qistina
Quartermaster: Jingle?
Journal Keeper: ???

I think we could condense JK into a couple of entries from each player every so often. Like we get to a new place and see what Ballast hasn't been writing down or Jingle's notes on the local flora or what have you. We sorta have ready access to everything that's been said and done, y'know?

Who's driving?

Well, I'm already in the driver's seat so the speak...

If someone else wants the job Peregrine is probably a better fit as the Green Ranger type but if no one else speaks up she'll pick up the baton.

Anyways, as for location pitch - how about we start with a name!

Argent, The Tower That Splits the Sky!

Well, Daniel doesn't seem a good fit for leader, and Ballast prefers a life of ease. Peregrine looks like a good fit, but Mew could work too, if Maleketh is so inclined.

(Super cool name, by the way.)

Mew would love to be leader, but as his player I think it's a terrible idea since no one really respects him. I'm still happy to do it if that's how you all want it, though.

Much like with actual cats, I think it's much funnier if something Mew wants is constantly just out of his reach.

Your destination is Argent, the tower that splits the sky. It's located on an island shrouded in mist, perhaps unreachable for ten months out of the year, with a possible surfeit of tasty fish. The tower is possibly run by one of the Arcadia Project offshoots, though its circumstances are currently unknown. Rumors among the archaeology set suggest a crashed airship on the island, full of curiosities and antiquities. Whether the airship struck the tower, became a victim of the mist, or was otherwise imperiled is a matter of debate. Rare flowers are purported to bloom in a small town at the base of the tower. There is a diner in town that serves some drat fine coffee.

Sounds like a pretty solid destination to me. I'm going to get the thread up today. I suspect there will be some farting around in town before we really get rolling, on account of the holiday.

Waiting on Fewture. If we don't get anything in a day or so we'll kick forward.

You gonna be alright? Like, continuing to maintain your health is substantially more important than timely posting in a PbP game.

Yeah, I'll be fine, and I really appreciate the concern. Part of my aftercare is doing things I enjoy, and PBP is one of them :)

A heads-up: I'm probably not going to be able to post from Sunday through Friday, as I'm headed across the country to see my parents. Assume Mew follows the group and helps with whatever needs doing (within reason; he is a cat).

Sorry for the delay on my side, I've been kind of swamped by work and a back to back shift I'm in the middle of will keep me a bit longer still, but I'll try to get it in as soon as I can!

Sorry for the silence! I totally forgot to bookmark the game thread, and with the moving out of my dorm, my mind was somewhere else...I'll post Jingle's story of his first time seeing the stars tomorrow morning as penance

It's all good. You can tell this is a fast-moving game. Don't forget to mark your ration consumption, taking into account Ballast's haul. One person's short a day's rations, and I'll leave that up to you guys.

Our quartermaster should be tracking provisions, assuming Fewture's still around.

I've been meaning to ask: what's the season? If it's spring I'm due for a few minor bonuses.

Not winter or fall. I'll go with majority rules on summer v. spring, so if you have an opinion, sound off.

Seeing as it's so hot today, I think summer seems reasonable. Or if Maleketh likes, it could just be unseasonably warm this year, as in real life (it's nine days before Christmas and I'm still running my fan for pete's sake).

Well, spring is obviously the best for me, but I'm okay with summer. It's a relatively minor bonus, all things considered.

I kind of like the idea of "road construction" season specifically over just summer, though it's probably just me. Even if it's way more quiet in this world, there's bound to be some excessively slow project to get in our way.

This is neat.
