Hey! Aura here, I play Mio, who has been ordered to kill Mart. She's painfully normal, and scared shitless to kill anyone, so he's pretty safe, lol.

That said, if you want to have him dead by any other means (Mio misses her bass...) do tell me so we can see how it goes?

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

It's cool. Mart wouldn't really be in for fighting/hurting a powerless girl.

they can still meet though and talk about the whole thing.

[tsurimoe.livejournal.com]

Oh that would be PRICELESS.

I don't really mind not getting her a regain just yet, but if I come with something, I'll let you know?

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Okay!

I think I may make a journal post, or would you rather we do a Log for it? Or should I just comment on your journal?

[tsurimoe.livejournal.com]

Lol, anything works fine for me, so do as you please!

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

I'll be making a journal post soon, be sure to reply when you have the chance!

[idkmybffcoffee.livejournal.com]

Hey, sorry to hound you like this! But Killfield ends tonight and I really need to get in contact with you so we can figure out what's happening ;u; I sent you a PM the other day about Mart's new assassin, but I figured you may not have gotten it, so I'm trying here!

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

so sorry i am at wirk right now and will e/respond asap!

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I'm so sorry things got kinda messed up. I had to work a ton over the last few days and I missed your message.

[idkmybffcoffee.livejournal.com]

Not a problem! The event has ended, but if you don't mind backdating, I'd love to still do something. c: Would you be up for this, and for a serious fight between Mart and his assassin? I don't know anything about his powers, but Sanae's ready to go after the poor guy as soon as he can.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Sure, I wouldn't mind a little backdated fight.

At that point, Mart has no powers except he's gone a bit nuts 'cause Mayfield has amplified his fear of getting eaten. He tends to arm himself with improvised weapons and stuff (rocks, sticks, bricks). That kind of stuff.

[idkmybffcoffee.livejournal.com]

Ahh, got it. Sanae's got a handgun and the regained ability to turn into the thing seen in this icon, pretty much an 8ft+ floating tiger furry. Aaand it only gets weirder from there; in this form he can do stuff like hide in shadows and sic his own shadow on people. He's a little slowed down by injuries gained from his own assassin, though.

Now, the downside of figuring this out so late is that I'll need to MAJORLY RUSH YOU ON THIS, sorry! If we could decide the outcome of the fight tonight, regardless of how long it takes to thread it out, that would be great. 8D; Several people can't move forward in logs until we know whether Mart lives or dies, ahaha.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Aw geeze, I'm sorry things got so complicated! If it's alright by you, I'd like to have Mart live for this event. Though you can definitely injure him.

[idkmybffcoffee.livejournal.com]

Got it! Sanae's going to be killed by his own assassin in a log that's happening right now, so I can't offer to let Mart beat him, though it seems like he's got the advantage weapons-wise anyway.

Where would you like to play this out? If it does work out better, we can always say that Sanae couldn't track him down in the first place and just thread them post-event, since he only has about a day in which to do it anyway -- he kills Mio Wednesday evening and then is killed Thursday night, haha.

... orz I'm sorry this timeline is so complicated.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

No problem!

The way I see it, Mart'd probably just manage to evade or distract him in order to escape assassination. I'm fine playing this out anywhere.

[idkmybffcoffee.livejournal.com]

I have a post lined up for Sanae tomorrow, so could we use Mart's journal? \o/ Backdated to Thursday afternoon, I think.

Sanae'll probably jump out of his shadow as a big tiger, figuring he can kill the guy on the first hit, but it doesn't work out as planned -- and goes downhill from there. Something like that? He's reluctant to use a gun because of knife wounds to the arms, but his long-range moves while in animal form are really limited, so Mart could get away with injuries only from the initial hit.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Sure, just post to my last journal entry and we can go from there!

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

One idea I've had.

Mart baords himself up in his house and attempts to ward Sanae off, Home Alone style with traps and improvised weapons.

You like?

[idkmybffcoffee.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I think it might work better with a different assassin -- Mart fighting back Home Alone style could be hilarious, but it would need a more slapstick-friendly villain, you know? imo, Sanae's too genre savvy and too serious of a character for it to really work, and he's right at home in this event. 8|a

I'm sorry to shoot you down! ;; I just don't know if it's plausible considering the powers he's got, or if it really works for the mood of the event. And I'm sorry Mart had the bad luck to get such a game-breaking assassin... I know I'm taking a while to reply, I'm trying to figure out how best to respond.

My first idea was just that Mart would get inside/off the street/hide in general before Sanae rounded a corner or whatever, and Sanae wouldn't be able to track him down in time before his own assassin comes for him.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Nah, it's cool, I understand.

I can definitely just have Mart duck and cover until he stops.

I have him at the door right now, but I can edit it so he goes inside and locks himself in or somethign.

[idkmybffcoffee.livejournal.com]

That would work for me! If Sanae wasn't so powerful or so close behind him I'd be happy to watch Mart fight him from indoors, but when he can teleport and hide in shadows, walls won't really keep him out long enough for traps to be set. :c I know you'd rather keep him alive, so I think having him lose Sanae might work out best for us!

They can always get up to whatever shenanigans you want after the event -- Sanae's only trying to hurt him because he's forced to. When he's not in fighting mode, he's pretty chill.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Done, and sure! Mart won't be taking too kindly to the attempted murder and all.

[idkmybffcoffee.livejournal.com]

I've got a post up here that addresses him! c:

[idkmybffcoffee.livejournal.com]

Sorry to bug you, and I'm 100% down with handwaving if you want to leave the thread where it is, but! Sanae actually has a point he was hoping to get to in this post-event thread we were doing -- he wants to try talking Mart into keeping the 'giant flying tiger' thing quiet, he's just trying to cool the kid down first. I didn't realize until too late that my tag seemed like a good stopping point, and I wasn't sure if you were commenting back or not. I still should've bugged you about this earlier though, s-sorry.

SO YEAH Mart doesn't have to agree, just give me a heads-up if he says anything about Sanae's abilities publically, if you can \o

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Aw geez, sorry about that. I forgot to tag that thread. I haven't mentioned it was him since, I've only been saying some giant tiger demon thing tried to eat him because before this thread he didn't know who it was.

[idkmybffcoffee.livejournal.com]

No problem, I left it too open-ended anyway! Think I could ask for one more Mart tag so Sanae can ask him about it? After that we can just handwave the outcome if you want! I don't think Sanae's given his name, but it wouldn't be hard to piece it together from the scoreboard, so he's worried |D

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Okay, any which way works for me!

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

I couldn't find an HMD post on your journal anywhere, so I hope it's okay if I leave some crit here! ;; I'm not trying to be a pain, but I think this could potentially help you. Of course, you're free to disregard this if you think I'm off base!

The thing is, though, while tagging around I've noticed that sometimes, you don't always give the other person a lot to work with. Having Mart just sitting there eating a sandwich, or Luthor just sitting there drinking, or whatever, doesn't always give the other player much to respond to, you know? Especially if their character is shy or reticent themselves, or just isn't the type to talk to strangers. One thing I might suggest is maybe making the first move/approaching the other person more often? You might get more out of your threads that way!

Of course we haven't personally threaded much, and I may easily have missed some things! But it's something I've noticed, anyway. I hope this helps!

Edited to add: Oh, one more thing! I've noticed you occasionally put OOC entries in the character's journal. But, those would more appropriately belong in mayfield_rpg (or possibly junefield, depending on the subject matter). If you don't know how to post to a community, I'd be happy to show you.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Nah, you're pretty spot on. But thanks for pointing that out. Honestly, I've just been pretty busy lately and I admit I haven't been thinking about that, but I do realize that it isn't fair or good writing, so from here on out I intend to improve on that. And things are settling down now enough that I feel that I can juggle both Luthor and Mart. Thanks for the HMD, I also realize I should add that post in my journals, and perhaps sometime we could do some threading together!

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

:) I'm glad to hear that things are settling down for you! And yes, we haven't threaded at all, have we? We should fix that. I'm here if you need any help on anything else, too!
