Dogberry

I posted a time and a place in the calendar. I wouldn't post it if it wasn't happening at that time and place.

Fine. Stormwind's Dr. Wily. Don't even try to argue that he's Dr. Light.

Thing about a battle is, it's loud. And you know you're still alive because you can still hear it. Things get quiet all of a sudden, you're a dead man. As far as he knew, Dogberry has been a dead man twice in his life. He stirred awake now to a dark room. His eyes tried to focus, but all he saw were vague shapes and shades of grey. No idea if there was someone in his room beyond him. Really, he had no sense beyond himself. His legs itched. He tried to scratch them, but they weren't there anymore. He rolled in bed, hoping that would help. It didn't. He buried his face into a pillow and screamed in frustration. "Alright, y'bastard, let's talk," Dogberry said when he was last a whole man. A tentacle, or a whisker or a tail, or something too quick for him to perceive whipped up and pulled him from the deck of the Maelstrom's staging platform. This was the audience he sought with the Lord of the Whorl. The encounter was too much for Dogberry to take in. Words were too simple things to convey the things communicated. Not with Leviathan in the state he was in, fading back into aether. Dogberry got only this impression: He was merely a piece of flotsam in the eye of a god. Nothing more, nothing less. Now, though, he had the Lord's attention. He was amused by Dogberry's arrogance. A lesson must be taught. And with that, The Lord of the Whorl took Dogberry's legs below the knee. Silence followed. Dogberry was, again, a dead man for sure. Back on deck, he was oddly authoritative for what he had just been through. He didn't know why. Things just needed to be done. Chaos would surely kill him, so he had to make order somehow. Now, though, in his bed at night, was finally time to feel. He screamed into his pillow again and again. He grabbed at the clean linens of the bed he was in and ripped at them in anger. He finally rolled on to his back, a more difficult task now, and stared up at the ceiling in the dark. Silence now, and Dogberry wished he'd been a dead man for sure.

Tell that to the velociraptors. [video=youtube]

it was a crazy awesome wedding, though. Spared no expense.

S-senpai! Uguuuuu~

[video=youtube] I'm in a folk music kind of mood. I mean, I guess I should be, as I've been dabbling in making folk music for the last few years. But Stan Rogers is one of my favorites, and Northwest Passage is such an amazing song. [video=youtube] [video=youtube] And of course, Pete Seeger proved to me that, as a life long punk rocker and social malcontent, I had a lot to learn from folk musicians.

Hi! Welcome to the forums! Awesome about your FC! I hope its success continues! Also, excuse me while I creep on your character model. Hellooooooooooo nurse!

One of my favorite things to do is go to crowded places where people RP, usually the Quicksand, and observe people RP. It's interesting to me, the choices people make with their characters and how they choose to react to certain situations. And sometimes something crazy or funny happens, and it's worth a good laugh. Not at anyone's expense, of course. Just sometimes us RPers are god damn hilarious.

Thank you all for making this event so awesome. You are all the wind beneath my wings. So with that dramatic happening after that run, we're off to a good start on our plot. Our boffins have made contact, and will be sharing notes about the nature of the primal's aetheric flow. Hunters have another feather in their cap. Jeris continues to be the Johnny Bravo of Eorzea. Will Dogberry overcome the loss of his legs? Seems likely. I will schedule next month's event once I can bump heads with some people about a decent time that can work for everyone. Once scheduled, if you have any kind of character development or plot ideas, let me know! I'll be happy to work it in to the event! The more plot, the more RP! The more RP the better!

OK, so my concern with these events is that runs can only be done by 8 people. What I'm thinking here is that if we get multiples of 8 together, we can run simultaneously for an IC "coordinated attack". If we don't have a multiple of 8 and people still want to run, we can switch out people and have kind of a "double jeopardy" kind of situation where the primal decides they're not done with us yet and attacks. Those not participating in that particular run can RP however they like in the meantime. Let me know how you feel about that. Also, I'll consider times that will allow EU players to participate in the future. Thanks for the support and input.

Hornet posted a similar picture, but this is the one I took from that event.

Dogberry knows how to keep a beat from a lifetime of rowing, and he's fond of singing old sea shanties. The only thing that could make it better is a concertina. [video=youtube]

[video=youtube]http://youtu.be/cQImy7_6o50 A little bit of the classics this morning.

There will be plenty more voyages, to be sure.

Welcome back, Cannonball! That'll throw Dog for a loop for sure. "Didn't you have a tail last time we met?"

I thought it would be a really fun plot for people to go through being slipped a fantasia and changing aspects of the characters several times as they figure out who's responsible for all the mischief. Then they came out and were $10 a pop. Nope! I'm not really sure how I feel about it ICly yet. Like, it should be treated as a thing that people know about, but it's kinda rare and dangerous to get and use. I dunno. I guess I haven't thought about it beyond the disappointment in their price.

Also. when we fight Garuda, I want to ask her about her workout routine. She's got some seriously well-toned thighs for a woman who never has to walk ever. Maybe we should re-think our approach to Garuda. We can frame the whole thing as a workout video and sell it on early morning TV infomercials like P90X and Insanity. We'd make so much money.

I believe we were talking about beating the crap out of moogles. Because we're totally doing that. Twice. At least.

We should talk. Expect a PM from me soon. And yes, Garuda, Ramuh, and Moogle Mog are all on the hit list.

I will gladly update anyone's wiki for them if they want me to. Whether or not any of the updates will have anything to do with their character or the actual events they've gone through is an entirely different matter.

[video=youtube] Shark hunter. [video=youtube] This is Dogberry's true backstory. [video=youtube] This is the song of Dogberry's people.

So what we've established so far: There are people out there who are interested in a monthly primal hunt event. Everything is somehow Dogberry's fault. Hornet is tsundere for Dogberry.

If Hornet is really jonesing for Dogberry's genetic material, there's a certain couch in Endemerrin's basement that she can get it from.

Just think of it like that unpleasant and bloody affair that comes along every month, but it only lasts one night. And coincidentally enough, she blames both on Dogberry.
