There was miscommunication oocly.
Ruru is a damn hard worker. Â He's a wonderful rper, with great ideas, who puts his all into everything. Â When he decided to play a yellowjacket, I was thrilled. Â Because I've played with Ruru quite a bit, I kinda did the assumey thing where I figured things would just flow together and we were on the same page.
Theyyyy didn't. Â I had thought Ruru was playing one way (ie, this was a behind-the-back stab at putting influence on Zhavi, without actually having the evidence/whatever to back it up, that the not-arresting bit was being done on purpose because he was actually bluffing), but he was, in all actuality, playing another way -- he felt that his character was genuinely being shut out and not taken seriously.
Sooo, I hashed it out with him over im to figure out what went wrong. Â
Blackhat had a lot of great things to say, as well as other people -- but the problem wasn't that Ruru was trying to assert ic authority over random people. Â It was players he knew, and who he knew supported him. Â I was gung-ho to have Zhi get arrested if it needed to happen. Â He didn't know that. Â We never talked about it. Â I assumed he knew . . . .and he was trying his damndest to be polite and go along with the rp, he didn't bring it up. Â Zhi being Zhi, she started drumming up support from others in the Wench (with the whole what-are-you-talking-about-I'm-innocent thing), which effectively shut Melodia down in that public space. Â Here I was thinking all 'man, guess she was bluffing' and ruru was all *headdesk* . . . Â whoops.
LESSON LEARNED: when trying out new things, keep the ooc communications open. Â Make sure both parties are on the same page. Â(i'mnotanidiotiswear)
(and in the interim, I've worked out a plan with ruru to ensure melodia has the space and ability to reassert authority over zhi!)
