				I am STOKED on all the cool people we have in this game so far. I think having 4 people to start is the way to go.<br><br>So this will be our OOC thread. Asides, bios (if we do that), and questions can go here.<br><br>I'm so glad this got off the ground.

				Toa is likely posting right now, having his pre-eunuch (to be castrated soon).<br><br>I messaged him to ask if he'd have SecretWriter's char be introduced as well, but I haven't gotten a response yet. Even if he didn't get it, I think it would be fine to have SecretWriter's character come along with the Eunuch manager (whom I think he will play here-on, maybe, if he's ok with it).<br><br>He will discuss matters with the potential Eunuch manager, and during this interview I'm sure the prince would introduce the women, and they can interact (uneasily or otherwise).

				Ok great, Toa posted, but indeed did not get my request in time to mention SecretWriter.<br><br>Would you like to write out your character's intro, so far as her inner monologue as she's brought to his chambers?<br><br>The interview with Toa's char will go first, but ultimately could be simultaneous with some interconversation.

				Thanks Toa! By all means, if there are any other palace characters that you think deserve a cameo before Toa's return, I have no problem with you expanding the world.<br><br>As for as Toa's day-to-day when he's not helping Tarkus, he may be the person that begins to hear murmurings of the Sultan's advisor's corrupting the sultan, more than just intuition, anyway.<br><br>Also, he can hear disturbing rumors about unrest among the people (I intend for a bloody revolution later).<br>-----<br><br>I was just going to say how much fun I thought the differences in the women's attitudes would be.&nbsp; I'm excited ^_^

				I have to admit, the idea of Layla being snarky with the eunuch at first is kind of hilarious. Especially if she'll grow to appriciate him (maybe he helps her in a time of need, maybe she'd be in trouble if he didn't cover for her when she is thought to have been spying on a conversation of the sultan's advisor?)

				No worries, Lilly, I'm patient. <br><br>Well, for him to understand and be able to deal with her distancing herself, he's going to have to know some of it, she's not going to be one to sob and tell him every nasty detail for petting, she's not wanting anyone to know what she suffered and is more likely to lie and deny that things happened, as it's humiliating to her and her pride.&nbsp; But it does need to be addressed or he's likely to punish her out of turn and never earn her loyalty. Which would suck. xD&nbsp; He's not had to deal with a woman who would rather not touch him, he's always been fawned over, so this is going to make him have to evaluate his feelings and his responsibilities on how to handle the situation. <br><br>I don't know how it would affect Aisha, but I am hoping that it will make her appreciative of her life, where she's been, which would also instill fear of what is out there and perhaps make her more desperate to keep her Prince, till the revolution at least.&nbsp; I can't speak for how Lilly will play this or how Aisha will feel, but that is what I'm hoping to inspire, without driving Aisha to trying to kill mine. xD&nbsp; Nothing will scar, or shouldn't, as she was a gift, and gifts have to be pristine even if the packaging is mushed. Damage to the picture or clock face can't be lasting, must be able to be cleaned away, which healing would do.&nbsp; My mind is sooo sleepy. I'm rambly. <br><br>

				I'm thinking of having Tarkus try and involve Layla either during or just after Aisha and his first romp. Despite my eventual tantalizing thoughts of having Layla "help" Aisha give him a blowjob by pushing her head down hard and rapidly (vengefully making her take him roughly), that will likely have to wait, unless y'all are equally intrigued by it. If not I'll likely have Tarkus tease Layla while inside Aisha.<br><br>As far as world-building, Secret, that's totally cool. My plan was that the sultan's adviser has turned the sultan into something the people hate.&nbsp; Unrest builds as the originally charismatic and compassionate leader turns more and more from his people.

				If he ever wants to earn her trust, I strongly discourage vengeful acts so soon.

				The sultan (unless I mistake the term) is Prince Tarkus' father. Tarkus is the heir to the sultan's throne.<br><br>I was wondering what you'd meant a few times when you used that word!

				I break when I see the need for reaction from my character to make it easier on the other writers to make their posts; if the reaction or what have you is needed for them to be able to actually do something other than post menial tasks.&nbsp; I don't like forcing someone to make a post that they're not happy with or that is really pointless. it's a waste of their time. ^.^ <br><br>I think that his reaction to her touching him is needed for Layla, who wouldn't really notice it otherwise.

				Just gotta say, both of you, excellent posts. Excellent. I'm rather excited with how things are going now and am muchly looking forward to Lilly's next post! *kisses*<br><br><hr><br>Westal, I'm pretty sure that Lilly will agree here, but I noted where you said that he would always try to include the other when he was pleasing one... I think that there will need to be some times where they'll need individual attention as well as being required to be present with each other and all that. <br><br>Aisha to reassure her of her loved position in his arms and home and Layla to even establish one where she knows that she's not just a passing fancy or a mere toy. Both women have some doubts and issues; though the two of them talking will be a big step in them bonding. <br><br>I would ask that his first time with Layla be with them alone without Aisha, but I don't know if that would be good for her or not. I know that Aisha is starting to make her nervous and she's feeling a bit under the microscope, though she doesn't know what one of those is.&nbsp; <br><br>Giving her that time alone would give her some comfort. But... it might just prolong the situation, so I'm really torn between giving her a bit of respite and letting her be able to take a breath and pushing her limits. I ask for input from both of you.<br>

				I made a small addition in his dialogue, which I hope explains that he will indeed have them one at a time as well as together. It's underlined (temporarily) so that you don't need to hunt for it. :D<br><br>I would say that Tarkus would try and arrange to have Layla alone their first time, though how that would go exactly makes me lean to and fro. By now he gets that having Aisha present wouldn't do anything but make her envious, though her station as first consort would <em>theoretically</em> say that she would coach new women to what she knows he likes. That being said, I wonder if that could be the expectation, but the two women's personalities mean that tradition is broken.<br><br>Of course, I can go any way on this. Perhaps that could be a part of their upcoming conversation, mentioning and then resisting those expectations?

				Awesome. Looks good. ^.^ I think that will help both of the women, Aisha especially because she'll know that she's going to have alone time with him. I don't want that poor girl never to get any time with him by herself. ^.^ I think that she'd start laying eggs, perhaps golden ones. And definitely grow claws and fangs.

				*hums and giggles* Yes, awesome post, Westal.&nbsp; I didn't have Layla hear him whispering, would just cause problems... not that she plans on listening to <em>the enemmmmy</em> xD as it is. <br><br>Maybe her passing out will solve the 'now or later' thing.&nbsp; Cause... honestly... if he's joining... he should have sex with Layla before the 'ceremony' because so far there's nothing&nbsp; for him to to join... She's a loose end, it's like tying her in instead of joining her into anything ::).

				Fuck-fuckity-fuck-fuck!&nbsp; *frets and paces* *whimpers*<br><br>I'm not sure how Tarkus and Aisha are going to react to that... I hope so wholeheartedly that this didn't just kill our game. <br><br>Also when I put that 'this man didn't stop and that made her angry' after she had stopped, I was referring to the post that he made about how Westal put that he started trying to make Layla focus on the sex.&nbsp; She stopped, froze, and he kept going which upset her because she couldn't continue. So I guess Aisha got her wish *grumbles*<br><br>When she seems to yell, she isn't very loud despite my capitalization.&nbsp; So while she's trying to yell, she isn't really able to do so right now. I... don't know if she has the capacity and ability to yell anywhere but in her thoughts at the moment.&nbsp; &nbsp;I really want to stress that she's talking quietly, her body shaking as she starts rattling off how it 'was' where she was.&nbsp; <br><br>She will likely tell Aisha the truth about some of that later on, about her filling in the blanks.

				Well if Layla played her cards right, he'll realize that he wanted his candy and his cake, along with his sweet honey pie... and he rushed things along. ;) <br><br>Though! It might be interesting if he found out that he was so anxious about the ritual that he didn't even start it right - which would be good for him as a leader, something to teach him that he needed to always double check the facts instead of rushing into things; 'specially battle! xD&nbsp; Maybe he could grow... let's hope he can't find his whip either!

				Alrighty then! Never a dull moment. <br><br>That was inevitable, certainly. My first reaction was to wonder if Secret had planned that reaction for longer than just since the last post or two, as while it's an appropriate (and <em>great</em>) reaction, it still surprised me (again, despite it's near inevitability). It's great storytelling though, and a fantastic way for the two women to grow closer, if over time. Similarly, I think this event just doubled the potency, durability, and drama of the story.<br><br>I need to ponder the subtleties of my post, thought it will go a little something like this. I lay it out here so we can step wisely, as it's a thin wire attached to an awesome hook down the line.<br><br>Tarkus is going to have a lot of mixed emotions, and very few of them will be tender. <br><br>1) He feels humiliated and cheated from Layla stopping.<br>2) He's scandalized and furious at Layla's insolence.<br>3) He feels vile and disgusting at her admonishments at his handling of Layla's addition, despite his spiritual reasons.<br>4) He's immensely worried that his rule is indeed cursed now due to the ritual's failure. Also his reputation and one or both of their lives are at stake if even the merest whisper of a half of what happened is determined to be true.<br>5) He's relieved he doesn't have to continue and see Aisha's pain.<br><br>It seems unnatural for these emotions to come anything but all at once, especially the way it all happened. How would someone like Tarkus react to these stimuli? Fuck, I have no idea at the top of my head, I haven't been through half of these emotions at the same time. It's <em>amazing </em>drama, I just need to reflect on it.<br><br>Here's my plan though, along with suggestions.<br><br>1) I'll likely have Tarkus bark a short sentence or two between Layla's, just because I don't see him being idle and letting her talk uninterrupted, though I would let her say everything she had while he fumes.<br><br>2) I want to try and avoid a huge inner-monologue, as he's done enough of that. There's too much that he's kept from them, as far as his true hopes and fears. Though he's <em>pissed</em>, I think it's time Layla sees his humanity and knows why he's acted the way he has. He's rather scared of the ramifications of the failed ritual. <br><br>3) With Aisha being more in-the-loop, I'm wondering if she too is shocked at Layla's actions, and knows what that supposedly means, both for Tarkus, and them as well. Perhaps the joining ritual being stopped or failed was the last thing she expected to happen, and now that she's in the middle of it, she wonders what it will bring. This is a suggestion that assumes Aisha is at least half as devoted to the spirituality of the land. Tarkus is 100% devoted to the words of the prophecy, though that will be shattered (among other things) with the revolution.<br><br>4) Tarkus will be very upset, and will likely speak harshly, but I'd rather not have him say much that he doesn't mean or will regret (this is up for debate, along with everything else). What i mean is, I don't want him blurting scathing words such as traitor or insolence to Layla, or cowardice or weakness to Aisha. There's an immense relief in his heart that he <em>didn't</em> have to hurt Aisha, and Layla's boldness brought that about. Also, Layla told him that she is loyal &amp; desiring Tarkus, as well as conscious of Aisha's feelings. These are all things he cherishes and would not want to shatter that now that he has it. The ritual aside, that's all he ever wanted from this.<br><br>5) He say's he has to go to the temple to seek guidance, forgiveness, and absolution. On his way out, in a fit of anger (and self loathing?), I want him to break something, such as to punch a sizable chunk out of a pillar while storming away, or something similarly eye-opening, something that even a strong man would be incapable of. I want to keep playing with the idea that there's something more to Tarkus, supernatural in nature. Explaining his vivacity, virility, and heritage.&nbsp; I want it to shock him (perhaps as much as it does the women), and he leaves, saying nothing more while he stares at his unbroken hand in disbelief.<br><br>*whew* <br><br>That was a doozy. Let me know your impressions.<br><br>*hugs all around* this is going to be great.<br><br>

				Maybe upon meeting with those at the religious center about the ritual… he can find that he didn't have to start the ritual that early?&nbsp; Maybe all parties have to know about the ritual for it to take place. Perhaps there has to be blood joining - like them pressing bleeding palms together or something. Something actually… feeling like a ritual. <br><br>I mean… it didn't seem like the starting of a ritual to start with. He mentioned no ritual. Aisha has mentioned no ritual until post 44. Then it was suddenly a ritual lol.&nbsp; Why would he not have said "It is time for the ritual" Not "Here we're gonna go escape the heat of the mid day." Which is what he said to why they were going to the bathing chamber.&nbsp; That ritual wasn't even brought up aside from it 'feeling like a ritual' until after I spoke to Westal about having Layla in private before he had them together.&nbsp; I will say that kind of frustrates me now that I'm sitting here and thinking about all of it.&nbsp; It's not something that is a big deal or that can't be fixed, though. It just feels… very… shallow. Shallow because it's lacking the depth of a ritual. At least in my opinion. <br><br>I have gone through a lot of intense emotions in this, this hasn't been easy to write. Some of it hasn't even been fun. I'm enjoying the story though, even if writing the posts makes me cry and reading some of Lilly's does the same. <br><br>No, I haven't planned this. I haven't even been writing ahead because I haven't been able to.&nbsp; The reactions from the characters was too important to be able to prepare anything in advance. She <em>was</em> angry at Aisha, she wanted that orgasm.&nbsp; She wanted the release and to feel the love of his touch… and she's not getting that now. This isn't what she wants. It isn't really what I want but I have to be true to my character. <br><br>It would be a good idea to show that he is supernatural; Layla has no clue whatsoever that he's anything other than just another prick wanting all the pleasure he can get and to be a little boy playing at being a man. ::)&nbsp; I don't mean that rude, but that's how she sees things because of how she's been treated.&nbsp; <br><br>As far as him and what he says, I too hope that he doesn't say anything that he doesn't mean or will regret. <br><br>I hope this is going to be great. I think I need my antidepressants… I'm not feeling all that great about my last post.&nbsp; <br><br>Also, see my A/A. We've got tornadoes going on. Part of my emotional state is due to my fear in this situation. <br>

				Everything is doing okay. We didn't lose power. The other side of town got hit more than here.&nbsp; Last time it was this side of town. Karma is a bitch. *coughs* I've got personal reasons for saying that... I'm horrible. It involves my cousin and her lack of hospitality toward us when the last one hit, while we were funding food for people who were out of power and had no homes, she sat on her ass.&nbsp; My pregnant cousin [has the 4 month old now] was out on her feet walking the streets handing out food.&nbsp; She offered showers and stuff to her sister, who is REELING b/c she's never faced this before. Yeah... I'm from the Smackaho tribe and I want to deliver!!! *cackles*&nbsp; There's no power where I live [am at mom's] as the tornadoes hit up there and pulled the power poles up as well as some trees... it seems that it was more natural devastation here than it was homes.

				That <em>was </em> great. <br><br>Work is CRAZY right now, I'll try and get my post in later today though.<br><br>When Tarkus realizes the extent of Layla's being unprepared for him, he'll be out for blood (he'll likely say as much.

				I truly enjoyed reading those last posts. I think it would be hard to find a <em>better</em> way to have two such different omen come to terms and start the hint of a foundation of a friendship. I love the way this is going. <br><br>*exasperatedly happy grunt* and the difference between the character's viewpoints!! The raw edginess of the trauma and fear of Layla, with her fears and anxieties, mixed with the soothing sheltered (for lack of a better word) compassion of Aisha when she's not fearing competition. So awesome.<br><br>Feel free to carry on their conversation, preparation (feed Layla! lol) etc. i may not be able to post today, but I'll get to it ASAP, including Tarkus' vengeance and the first hints of the storm to come. I think i'll have the sultan and his adviser knee-deep in some sorcery to extend his power, though perhaps Tarkus only catches the shortest glimpse of it.<br><br>I'm also thinking after Tarkus verbally acosts the adviser, there will be an imminent assassination attempt...or maybe just another harem consort added to spy on them *sound the doom drums*, but Layla and/or Aisha sniff out the rat and have her dealt with.<br><br>Thoughts?

				I think that it's far too soon to add that rat... The women need to bond with Tarkus some or they'll never work with staying together when the revolution comes. I know how hard it is from our other game to stick around when the going gets tough. Can tell you that Layla would strike out on her own if the bond isn't strong enough.

				Thanks! I know it's a bit of an exposition bomb, but I thought it was time. I'll try to get another post where he tried to get justice, but Kydul pardons his hired man or something similar.<br><br>I suppose Tarkus shouldn't find out everything that happened to Layla, so that he can find out from Aisha? Or does it not matter so long as it doesn't come from Layla herself? I was tossing around the idea of Tarkus offering Layla the opportunity to see the man who ordered the treatment of the captives put to death, though there are some fuzzy areas I'd have to work out.

				It doesn't really matter if he finds out, what I mean is she's not going to be bleating at at him for pity.&nbsp; I see a lot of games where women are abused and all they do is whine about it. Woe is me. Layla isn't like that and that's the only reason that I refuse to have her talk too much about it. I don't want her to be a cry baby. It's becoming more of the plot than I thought it would be, if the Hound soldiers are the ones that had her, which is entirely possible but she thinks it's another sultan - someone who had women in his harem.<br><br>Given that opportunity she'd take it. She'd love to see those bastards gutted and hung with their own entrails. xD<br>

				The way I see it, she could easily have mistaken Kydul for another sultan. He acts like he is one, and is likely plotting to be the sultan in fact, erasing the Vasquen's from the history books.<br><br>Wonderful, I think this will go swimmingly.<br><br>

				So while I was without my net, thanks to the net company's oversight, I spent the time reading a book [well two days of it...] called <em>The Love Slave</em>.&nbsp; And in it... lots of harem... but there was an Ayisha that the passion master trained, then a Leila that fell in love with him and killed herself. <br><br>Then the caliph... his first lover was Aisha. *rubs bridge of nose* Needless to say I was yelling at my book for being too similar with the names. lol.

Sorry if it's a little short and nondescript, I wondered if Tarkus should not (unintentionally) show his hand, so we could play with Layla wanting to ask forgiveness or otherwise, and Tarkus responding with "What?

				Welcome back, Secret!<br><br>I'll try to keep up with posting, but they may be a bit slow. I've had a death in my inner circle of friends and I took some time off to grieve. I'm back emotionally, but now I have a lot of work to catch up on, so I'm sorry if I delay us right before we get back to full form.<br><br>*snuggles Secret and Lilly*

				Yeah I agree. She'll need to get used to it eventually, and I think a good step for that is to know, but not see. Plus, I imagine she wouldn't have the key to his private chambers, though she could knock, and then hear lots of panicked rustling <br><br>^__^

				Real life comes first. That's always been what we've all said. It's just how it is. I wouldn't expect anyone to pass up a job that will feed them and pay their bills and help their quality of life in favor of an <em>online...roleplay...game... with fake people and fake sex. And fake food!</em>&nbsp; It's not a pain in the ass. It's just that it's a fun game and it is hard with us only posting once a week, that's four rounds of getting nowhere for a month.
