				Calison's Cast of Characters <br><br>First Generation--Active<br><br>The Governor—Kirassa Luverdel (Grey Wolf). The sixth and youngest child of the ruling house of Luverdel, Kira is both affectionately and condescendingly referred to as the runt of the litter. While her parents might have groomed her to be political marrying tool, the often rebellious she-wolf had other plans, becoming a warrior of some repute instead. In order to prove herself to her often disinterested family, Kira volunteers to govern the new colony settlement on the very fringes of their body with the great wilderness. With everything to prove and a resolve to do just that, this wolf intends to have a flourishing province&nbsp; by the time she’s ready to die. <br><br>Clergyman of the Peaceful Faith—Father Chyild (Lynx). A healer and priest, Father Chyild ventured out and established himself in the border colony to make sure his God’s flock isn’t devoid of divine help. An idealist by nature, Chyild is at times naïve&nbsp; and in especially charged situations zealous. His sermons encourage the strengthening of bonds within their growing community and of their god’s love. As the growth of the community and fostering unity among his flock is paramount, Chyild long term goal is to see to the long term establishment of his articulation of the Faith. <br><br>Settlement’s Blacksmith—Bois (Roan Bull). A blacksmith by trade, Bois found himself in a flooded market in the city where his well forged weapons and armor as well as his tools were often overlooked. Wanting a chance to really put his craft to constructive use, Bois jumped at the chance to venture to the border colony. A big softie by nature, Bois often gruff appearance and attitude makes him a little socially awkward, but he tries to make his good intentions no secret. This bull hopes to have a well respected business in the new colony, one that he could pass down to a possible future family. <br><br>The Huntswoman—Ven (Black Wolf). One of the original explorers and settlers of the settlement, Ven in the months up until the arrival of the royal governor has been organizing the hunts into the wilderness. Hailing from a minor noble family herself, Ven wanted a change of scenery and with her expertise in hunting, tracking and navigation she found a place in the initial expedition. She has stayed ever since. She serves currently both as head huntress and head scout.&nbsp; Always the one to want to explore, Ven hopes to have the area around the settlement for miles charted. <br><br>Physician/Apothecary—Dellori Tanis(White Fox). A recent graduate of the capital’s university, Doctor Dellori Tanis has little field experience as a doctor, but she has a vast technical knowledge of various remedies and of state of the art procedures that divine healing can’t assist with. Always the scholar and researcher though, Dellori’s main interest is in coming to the colony is for its proximity to the wilds. She hopes to gather renown for herself through discoveries of new remedies and better medicine. <br><br>First Generation--Retired

				<div align="center"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Wintercat's Cast of Characters</strong></span></div><br><strong>First Generation--Active</strong><br><br>Governor's Advisor - Tolin Wildcat (Dark Tabby Cat). Clever but sarcastic, he is a loyal advisor to the Governor. He believes the rule of law is important but should not become a blindfold for doing what is right. He is a learned cat who survived a long time in a court of wolves, only to be banished to a border colony for an ultimate taboo. He dared to question another noble's way of ruling over the land, informing him that his manners would lead to a revolt. Tolin was sent away, but a revolt broke out just 2 weeks afterwards. He has refused to return to the service of other nobility despite invitation back to the courts, prefering to take his chances on the young she-wolf governor that he believes might actually listen and see the needs of not only aristocracy but the people.<br><br>Priestess of the Strict Faith - Alyssin (Red Fox). Serious but fair, and devout woman to the Divine. She is most comfortable amidst strict rules and regulations, and believes that faith requires a measure of trust. She is a kind woman to those who follow the same path, but can also be as cold and cruel as necessary for those who she deems heretical to the teachings of the Divine. She is a pure-blooded red fox, and her family was extremely strict, hoping she would bring that discipline to the frontier too when she was sent there as a priestess. She has aspirations to rise to become a Cardinal of the Faith within a few years. For all her love of rules, she is easily flustered when things break down from order she has come to expect.<br><br>Patron Tavernkeeper - Thoan (Black Bear). Friendly, playful, and generally a good sport, Thoan is nonetheless very strict towards troublemakers, thieves and cheats. If he finds someone breaking against decency they are prone to being thrown out, with quite some force behind the swing too. He is suitably wealthy that he owns farmland around the settlement, and has people working there. He bought the ingredients for selling food and drink for the first year but is already preparing to brew his own ale and serve his own food as soon as the local harvests start pouring in. Thoan is hard-working man and ready to offer goods at a fair price, often alongside a joke and a smirk, but once his anger is roused he's mad like a bear.<br><br>Wandering Swordsman - Lynda Steelhold (Cheetah). Honest and easy-going young woman, Lynda has a good heart and a desire to do good. She is often found roaming and wandering, she is quick on her feet and reacts by instinct to dangers she might not be prepared for otherwise. Her weapon of choice is a traditional knight's longsword but she has shown herself talented with all sorts of blades, as well as her own claws if necessary. Lynda is also a strong woman who is bound to break equipment by her rough handling of it at times but she believes that doing all she can to win the day is more important than the gear she carries. Unfortunately for her it often leaves her paying any rewards she might make to those that prepare her new gear. Accident prone and a bit clumsy outside of any real danger, people sometimes have hard time taking her seriously.<br><br>Brothel Madame - Lilian (Raccoon) - Sly, teasing, and totally shameless. Lilian is a woman that knows what is good in life, and what people like. She likes pleasures and little dirty secrets, and makes it her business to help with both. She is someone that prides herself in finding out what people really need, and how to make them squirm happily. She has not worked personally with pleasure for a while, prefering to find someone else to take her place in such instances, but she is not against this. She is simply selective, and very protective of her friends, whether they are clients or employees to her. She doesn't think twice about throwing out anyone that hurts one of her friends, and she has a very strict policy against those who do, even if they are her friends too. <br><br>Occultic Alchemist - Hargin (Gray Wolf). Secretive, eccentric, and a bit on the strange side, Hargin is a talented alchemist but also someone that enjoys strangeness. She is a strange person herself, being a hermaphrodite. Normally that would leave her an outcast if outed, but she has kept some distance to people in the past anyway, and her manners dont exactly encharm many people to try coming onto her. She can create things that are useful though, making sales and surviving at that coin, but her weirdness leaves some people a little uncomfortable, a little unsure what to expect. <br><br><strong>First Generation--Retired</strong><br><br>Terminal Dogma is Silent

				So what other interactions do we want to have among the cast? I'm a bit of the opinion of doing a time skip to the evening's feast relatively soon. What do you think?

				I think that the blacksmith and tavernkeeper might enjoy a bit of time with one another at some point later, guys chatting and laughing, perhaps checking out a cute tush on a lady passing at some point. <br><br>The clergy are hopefully coming up later as the petitions for the building of the stone place of worship comes up. <br><br>I think the alchemist (once finished) might head out to meet the physician/apothecary either to take care of some wounds sustained in an accident or to try and buy some herbs that are not in season but the alchemist needs for some experiment. <br><br>On that note, I am presently wondering a bit about the whole 'budget', I tried to avoid naming any numbers for the amount of gold they might have. I thougth of something like 2,000 coins to start with, with 500 coins remaining now (if they had 1/4 of the starting coin left after those months of building) and earning some 600 coins / year at this rate (so around 50 coins a month, roughly) after expenses... Nothing counted from anywhere, just some idea, but don't know how high you would like the money's value to be, and if they should be counting in silver not gold (if silver is more commonly seen metal, or even copper... though higher-up circle probably would speak of values in silver or gold) <br><br>Anyhow, just wandering thoughts and all that, but wanting to check ^^ <br><br>Also, the time skip soon seems like a good option, the characters have had a busy noon. ^^

				Maybe the scene with the blacksmith and the tavernkeeper might come either the next day or latter this evening, perhaps after the feast and the common folk take their celebration further into the streets. <br><br>I see the clergy coming up perhaps in the next day or so, we could likely introduce them when they meet with the governor and establish the tension between them then. <br><br>I'm definitely looking forward to have Dellori interact with the alchemist ^^ <br><br>The budget you outline and posted sounds pretty fair to me. 600 coins a year doesn't sound like too much, but it's a settlement just established, so it's going to be while before they're racking in tens of thousands of coins each month. I think the standard coin should be silver but nobles and other higher ups will tend to think in terms of gold. <br><br>For the time skip, however the current scenes wrap up we can see about who will be setting up the scene for that. I don't have a problem facilitating the time skip, though I'd likely start it with Kira more or less making her entering. Is the feast going to be at the keep or in the village green?

				I'm glad to hear you are alright with the budget thing, I didn't want to try and take too much control here either, so figured I'd suggest here before putting anything concrete in the game thread. As for the coming events, I like your planning, so in the next day and along the celebrations, seems fair. I can see the alchemist / apothecary interaction coming up somewhere tomorrow too, most likely, I just have to finish up the alchemist's description, been a little torn between two mental images but ah well. <br><br>I think we can pull off a time skip whenever we are ready, for the huntress and swordswoman, we could already move forth there, I think their first meeting is pretty much wrapped up and I apologise for my short post on that part. As for the two at the throne room, it might become a banter back and forth for a while still, or they might call it on account of having something else to do, before the feast, and then move ahead to the said feast.

				No worries about the short post with Ven and Lynda ^^ I think Tolin and Kira are about done with their discussion, the governor has gotten most of her initial questions and concerns answered. Did you want to facilitate the time skip or shall I? Where's the feast actually going to take place, village green or in the keep?<br><br>For the appointment docket for Kira and Tolin tomorrow, I think we could have that dispute between the nobleman and the current land and mine owners first and then have the clergy enter to call attention to their petitions for stone.

				If you would be willing to handle the time skip this time around, I can do it the next time. I posted a little bit to wrap up the point there now, and seeing about what comes then.<br><br>The feast was supposed to be on the village green I think, so that the people can enjoy&nbsp; it, see their governor, and not make a total mess of the keep at the very first day she is around. Though food brought from the keep, and possibly the inn/tavern... seeing as they are the two biggest kitchens in the arear most likely. <br><br>After that celebration (which may be a good place to play out all characters if we wanted, or we could leave it between only a few interacting) we could see what else comes up. The priests talk with the governor the following day, the smith &amp; patron probably talking together against the nobleman (or if you want we could both portray members of a noble family) and starting from there.<br><br>I have this idea of minor aristocracts that have a good share of money, say, 400 gold or so, and want to buy the farms and smithy... for less than half their price... and to practically buy up all they can, and then start to tighten the leashes, make people work harder and for a poor pay, paying taxes to the governor but keeping a good share for themselves.... perhaps mechanically would drop tax by some -10 gold / month then, from 50 to 40, but might be offering the governor a 'show of good will' (say, 200 gold as a gift to the settlement) meant as a one time bribe, planning on getting that back and more in just 2-3 years and then living off the work of others.<br><br>Thinking the nobles would claim they have contacts in the high society allowing them to set up things to be exported, increasing trade, and bringing in new people and goods that way. <br><br>Just thinking out loud, feel free to always interrupt and counter argument too. ^^"

				Alrighty, I'll handle the time skip, you wrapped up things perfectly for me to do so ^^ <br><br>I had a feeling it'd be in the village green, but I just wanted to make sure of your thoughts as well -nods- <br><br>We can certainly have a lot if not all of the characters interacting during and after the celebration. I do sort of want to keep the priest in the background until their petitioning session the next day though if that's alright. I guess I wouldn't mind playing a member of a noble family as well...would make sense that the nobleman wouldn't show up alone likely anticipating resistance from more than just one person. Also I don't get the opportunity to play slimey people that often xD <br><br>I do like how you've outline the economic ramifications for the nobles getting their hands on the smithy and the farms as well as much as they can. The benefits of increased trade and bringing in new people and goods into the area through their doing so would be a good argument against what is possibly so far the smith and tavern keeper's 'we were here first and don't deserve to be muscled out'. I guess though as I'm playing Kira at the moment, I hard time seeing myself ever siding with the the aristocrats. Must be the Marxist in me &gt;.&gt;;; <br><br>Oh also, small thing, I think you copied and pasted my character's status bar in place of your own so it's reading as theirs instead of Tolin and Lynda's ^^;;

				*Blink blink* Well damn I really did ! I am surprised and a bit embarrassed, but its also a bit humorous. I'll fix the old post to get those headers in order, but you knew what I meant. ^^ I am still embarrassed on doing that mistake, but ah well, that's the risk when copying the headers from an earlier topic and then entering the content / modifying the header as situation changes.<br><br>I think you caught onto my own impression. The nobles got their own slimy motives, they got good reasons they can quote, but at the same time the smith and patron can defend their own hard work and the fact they're the reason those places are doing well, and also show that if they can make it, they'll draw others wanting to do the same, show they <em>can</em> advance when someone else doesn't steal their efforts.<br><br>I think aristocracy can be useful in the way they described but they quickly get too greedy and corrupt, and there's no need for that -many- of them. Maybe if smaller little villages are established later, there might be argument whether they get an aristocrat landowner to them or a mayor named to the task by the governor, or even the people.<br><br>Anyway, yeah we should probably keep priests out ,but I can see others interacting there. Like patron boasting his good ale to people perhaps, or possibly trying to liquor up the smith and then ask if he wouldn't mind taking a look at some farm tools that recently got broken, perhaps ordering some new tools for the farms from the smith, wanting, 'home made, best made' and so forth :P

				Mistakes happens to the best of us, don't worry about it too much ^^ last night I did the exact same thing...it was only through going back and reading through a couple of the past post that I noticed it xD; <br><br>While Kira and Tolin might be representative of nobles that actually give a damn about people, it'll make sense to have the general aristocracy be a bit more on the self-serving side of things. It'll be interesting indeed to see about the appointment of officials not only within the town but in later villages. <br><br>Sounds like we're in agreement for what characters will be interacting during the feast night ^^ looking forward to Thoan and Bois' conversation xD&nbsp;

				Finally added the alchemist here, trying to wrap my head around a larger post I am trying to type, showing all the characters of mine except the priestess at that village green gathering for a short while. Even the said alchemist is going to be present a moment. <br><br>Wondering if you plan to bring out the physician for a bit too (though I understand if not), I figure you want to keep your priest out of the situation right now, given how we plan on having them introduced&nbsp; later still. I also understand if you dont want to show off the physician yet, but thought It'd be fun to bring the others out for a short moment, even if they all got just 1 post in the meanwhile.<br><br>Might be a bit though, typing is going slow and bothered in real life about having to take the dog for a walk soon.

				As always, RL takes priority over RP ^^ no worries. <br><br>So what would be a good price for a house, for a plot of land? If the settlement is producing 50 coins for the coffers each month in taxes...how far reaching would those 50 coins be?

				50 gold, or some... 500 silver? I'd say it'd be a fair slice from people's earnings while still keeping a 'small' tax rate, to attract settlers to the area. Not sure what the price of a house and some land should be. I imagine if it was a house in the town, it might cost a bit, but a house on the countryside a little less, but then again, countryside and a plot of land, would be costing something. But its a colony and they dont want to scare people away... umm...<br><br>Perhaps pay a small amount to get the wood and all that, then build it yourself or hire someone that knows what they are doing. A ready house, not sure, probably would cost a fair bit but not excessively. Uuuuhhh, not sure at all right now. Maybe a house would be valued as high as 100 silver (10 gold) but not necessarily expected all at once? Something that is costly, may take peasants years to pay off, but is possible, and so forth? <br><br>Ugh, but then again that'd make a lot more of them just try and build a rough cottage on their own instead, paying just for the land.<br><br>O_o" sorry, brain kicking a bit empty right now, I'll rethink after resting a bit, we can dance around the topic for now in game somehow if you prefer. ^^" I'm not sure, I didn't plan the economy that much as it is &gt;_&gt;

				Well we don't need to worry too much about the economy if we don't want to, at least not in the micro-sense that we're getting into. I'm fine with talking about things in term of relative-ness and not putting numerical values. The sense of what a common villager could afford to buy vs what a nobleman could afford can be rather intuitive as far as I can see. <br><br>That said, I'd be up for discussing those micro-economic logistics if you're interested in doing so. It might be useful for when we're dealing with the formation of trade guilds and merchants and the like...though we could just as easily write in ways to avoid it altogether.

				I think we can plan and plot a lot together, no worry on that. I just feel a touch tired at hte present moment, needing some rest soon. I've gotten probably around 50 posts out today altogether, so a bit worn out as it might be. Though on that note, I have looked forward to reading your next post and was happy to notice it posted. After reading it, I got to wondering if I am pressing too much, all 4 pairings of people at move right now, I hope we're not wearing one another out too quickly. We can return to smaller numbers after the scene at the village green and all, moving so to allow the characters a little time to do as they decide for that evening and then on the following days, following a pair or two, shifting around, as story feels natural? <br><br>I am open to discussion about the economy in the game, no problem on that actually, it would make sense if we plan on having guilds and such forming at the settlement too in time. Just couldn't answer on the spot and feeling a bit awkward asking such a question, the main point was to give Bois the feel that the Cheetah might well end up staying for a long term too.<br><br>Also, hope the Tabby didn't push things all too much as it stands. I know it was a bold move without warning, but at least the governor managed to laugh it off ^^"

				In a way I think we're forming the couples a bit early, but I'm not opposed to it. Ven and Thoan likely have some chemistry brewing between them in the time they've been there, likely among the ones been there the longest. As for the other two pairs...nothing wrong with lustful encounters/ friendships, which seem to what they're brewing into at the moment. Kira and Tolin are cute together I think ^^ I don't mind posting for four characters all at once, but I do admit it is a bit of time commitment for one post, so we might want to bring that down to following maybe 1-2 pairs at a given time. For things like the feast I kinda like having all the character out at once, interacting and the like, gives the feel that there is a lot going on ^^ <br><br>Yeah, I can definitely see the intent behind Lynda's question and it served it's purpose ^^. I just felt inclined to think of hard numbers because that's what I do, thinking too much at times about logistics xD <br><br>I think the tabby may have push things a bit early, but Kira is interested and wouldn't be opposed to a bit of a romp later that night~ Tolin did say he'd find someone to satisfy her carnal desires after all ^^

				Mmhm, it seems the initial pairings are taking place fast. I was a bit surprised it seems that it might be leading to some scenes of pleasure so swiftly, but I don't mind that, just thinking that the first generation at this land is perhaps abit faster to get to things than perhaps later groups. Or who knows, perhaps they engage in pleasure just as well, too. In general seen some games go on a long time before anything intimate inclined occurs, but it seems things are proceeding smooth and pleasant for a few pairs already. <br><br>I think I'll have Alchemist agree to see the Doctor later rather than try and put up a scene right now. 4 scenes at once might be draining and tire the fingers typing too, I think. As for the others, I can see it might lead to a few things there as it stands, we can follow all other 3 pairs or decide to stick with 2 pairs instead if you prefer, and so forth. <br><br>The alchemist is interested, but I got a vibe she might say "I'd like to know you intimately too, but only when you are sober. I do not wish later to come know you regret what done drunk." A bit of shy caring and want to not abuse a person that has had a bit. Even though she did sober up fast at the drama. <br><br>Anyhow, waiting to hear your responses and I'll think of my replies in the meanwhile.

				Well, it's one of those things that come with the time period, never know when your last day is going to be, gotta do things fast. Hmm...let's see, I do think Kira and Tolin, as cute as they are, might put it off for a while despite their mutual interest because they don't want to complicate their professional dynamic...Kira realizes this for the public appearance but is a little too eager to get some action to not fully consider how it might affect their working life together or how it would complicate things...<br><br>I definitely agree that running four scenes at once would be draining. And yes, Dellori is still a bit drunk, so that would be a good reason for the good alchemist to decline. As for the other two, Ven and Thoan; Bois and Lynda...Ven and Thoan with a previous history spanning a couple of months, I see them getting down to business. Bois and Lynda...well, no reason they can't either, the encounter being mostly fueled by lust.

				Sorry my writing has taken so long today, I was thinking on what to do after reading your OOC post. I was considering what Tolin might do, whether the governess and him go and do something or if they back down a bit awkward together still. They might pause, they might do something starting on off-camera time perhaps. Or they might start something together and awkwardly part ways, deciding to leave it for later, that htey are acting too hastily... who knows.<br><br>As for Bois and Lynda, as well as Ven and Thoan, I think the two pairs can become very close and happy together as things are, I added a bit of Lyn's own thoughts to the situation there, hoping that helps out as things go. <br><br>Anyhow, posted a bit and apologising how long this took.

				No worries about taking a while, I know I've been having to take while between responses because of school and homework, so no need to apologize ^^ <br><br>I think Kira and Tolin can do as the tabby suggested in your latest post and start from there...maybe things start to proceed out of that or likely they just leave it at that once they've both had their release. As with all these relationships, I'm in no hurry to having them all working to producing families -nods- <br><br>With Bois and Lynda, maybe they just have a night of kissing and cuddling, nothing too much as they take comfort in each other's company. For Ven and Thoan though...did we want to run a scene with them? We can have that happen off camera and just have things be implied later, maybe doing a scene with them later if we just want to only handle one with Kira and Tolin. I'm enticed by the idea of a wolf and bear, but we don't really have to do. <br><br>Anywho, I won't be able to reply for next several hours, classes and the like &gt;.&gt;; I'll check out your thoughts on here before posting. It seems that we're more or less done with the feast, so I can close the rest of my character's narrative lines for the evening and have us focus on Tolin/Kira and Ven/Thoan (if you're inclined to do so) and then time skipping to the next morning with settling the dispute.

				Alright, I am eager to see where all may go and find myself enjoying the shared tales, looking around and thinking on what all is going on, what is happening. I find myself enjoying things as they are progressing, and yeah they're not at a phase yet to need to be setting permanent things, though I could see Ven and Thoan having things going on slowly. Enjoying things as they happen.<br><br>I think Bois and Lynda are new, but I kind of can see hte two of them going further than that, but we could have it not go that far yet this night. Hmm. I think I'd like to run a scene with Ven and Thoan, especially if its their first hooking up, but I am feeling it'd&nbsp; be crude of me if I had them hookng up but not Bois and Lynda in turn.<br><br>I think we could run Kira and Tolin ending up in some cuddling or saying good night to one another and retreating to their rooms. I can see Ven and Thoan playing together. I can see Bois and Lynda with one another, perhaps Bois offering kindly to just keep it to cuddling.. only to have Lynda pull off her straps on her chest and kiss him again...<br><br>And the Alchemist and Doctor are already at a spot they could skip away till another day.<br><br>I'm fine with whatever you decide but I think we could have two couples hooking up, Bois &amp; Lynda as well as Thoan and Ven. <br><br>Anyway, I'll wait for your own thoughts and all, and I think the village green situation has been brought to a finish as it stands. It was a nice introductionary scene for this part.

				It sounds like we're in agreement to have Ven/Thoan and Lynda/Bois hooking up; haven't played a bull before in a sexual scene, so that will be fun ^^ Just to clarify, were you saying we keep Kira and Tolin to cuddling and/or saying good night or for them to do that <em>after</em> orally stimulating each other? Either way I'm fine with it, even just a passionate kiss good night, one to leave them both enticed for more. <br><br>And yes, the Alchemist and the Doctor or more less done for the night -nods-

				Sorry for the delays, had some real life matters to think about, including a chipped tooth finally being taken care of, and root-canal treatment is not fun. Anyhow, that and all the other stuff in real life aside, I should be able to get posting done. I'll see about writing a reply to the in game post soon, and I think yes we are in agreement with Ven/Thoan as well as Lyn/Bois hooking up. <br><br>Kira and Tolin, we'll see but I think their part in the night should be fairly brief and perhaps sweet but not pushing it that far... *Bows* <br><br>And the alchemist/doctor side seems to be settled.<br><br>Wow, a lot of text for just the first -day- for a tale meant to spin decades... generations... then again I doubt we'll be planning to play it day by day later on, just the more critical moments in development.

				I'd think if we finished the 3rd day with that or such, it would be a good point. Having them resolve the bandit issue, and then moving ahead, allowing it to show what happens then. Perhaps more people move in hearing its safe to travel? Perhaps the governess is applauded for taking care of bandits that had caused the fall of earlier attempts? <br><br>Perhaps a jealous sibling of the governess announces they plan to visit her little 'corner kingdom' sometime soon? <br><br>We might plot a little on what the next crisis or important event would be that would bring things up.

				3rd day bandit resolution sounds good to me ^^ I definitely like all of your suggestions for possible things to happen and there's no reason why they all can't happen. Perhaps the jealous sibling situation wouldn't happen for at least half a year or so, give Kira time to build up her town and for word to travel that it is a viable place to live and raise a family in. <br><br>Some other things that might be fun to explore is Ven getting support for long term expedition to map out the area, good starting points being the other locations marked on the bandit map and things moving from there.

				I think the visit being later is a good thing to pull off. I am also in favor of having Ven exploring wider and adding to things. I think we should think what the settlement has.<br><br>Smithy. Inn/Tavern. 2 Churches. Stone Quarry. Mine ( Mines What? Iron? Many materials? ). Farmlands. Village Homes. Carpenter (?). Brothel. Apothecary. Alchemist's Store. Keep. Riverside Port (?)<br><br>What else is there? I think all others have been mentioned, the Carpenter thing was just something I think is useful for the people building their homes and getting furniture and all that. Also considering there to be a small port at the riverside somewhere perhaps. Either its not yet done but planned, or maybe it wont be in this place but somewhere else later.<br><br>I was thinking there might be some place further off with some ... hmm... monstrous folks at there, not necessarily bad, but dangerous? <br><br>Humanoid Dragon, centaurs, etc. Spicing things up possibly, avoided, built around, avoided.. or perhaps something the hunters mark down for future.<br><br>But also natural riches? Places for later settlements? Ruins of a <em>former</em> settlement attempt and some measure of mystery what happened?<br><br>Also, added a picture for Lynda in the in-game thread. Maybe I should move it here to the first posts to Lynda's part, its an NSFW picture though.

				I'd say the mine is focused on pulling out iron, but that doesn't mean it can't be branched off to get other materials as well, especially if they find veins that lead to precious gems and metals. I think at this point it only makes sense for the village to already have a carpenter, considering they would have needed quite a bit of help getting all the things prepared for the governor's room as well as many of the village houses. As for the riverside port, I'm on the side of it having been planned, but the decision to move forward and build the thing hasn't been done yet. <br><br>Dealing with monstrous folks, especially those that call the area home, would certainly do much to add tension to the settlement as a whole. It would likely bring the churches into things, the friendly church likely advocating extending the olive branch while the more strict one would at least want a more guarded approach with dealing with them...maybe even eliminating them altogether. Especially if an investigation into what happened to an earlier settlement goes underway, could make things rather interesting. <br><br>I love the picture you found for Lynda, and its placement with how you described her on the bed was just perfect timing ^^ I don't see why you couldn't move it to her introduction, maybe do the same spoiler notice. I'm really bad when it comes to finding pictures and the like for my characters, haven't been able to find anything fitting. You wouldn't happen to have some images that would be good recommendations, would you?<br><br>EDIT: Also is Tolin barbed or ribbed?

				I have my share of pictures for inspiration, both SFW and NSFW variety, but I admit I am not one with a large 'furry' collection though. I have gathered a few images I came across and liked in the past, but they are few. I am also not sure what would be a good place to look for them, I've personally just got a habit of wandering on-line and picking up a thing or two at places that allow that, using them as inspiration, and never claiming to have any ownership on those images, sometimes outright quoting where they are from.<br><br>But in anycase, I can look through the images, we might talk on a messenger program later, its up in the air on that part. <br><br>Also, the tabby's ribbed, I considered it a moment and though some other felines might be another way later on, the tabby's going to not be barbed.

If you could look through the images you do have I'd appreciate it ^^ though if already have ideas brewing for characters for some pictures go ahead and keep them ^^ If you want to talk on a messenger program to discuss the pictures or even the RP instead of the OOC thread,&nbsp; go ahead and add me on AIM -nods-<br><br>In the matter of whether or not a ribbed cock is authentic, I'd actually prefer if they weren't barbed if that's alright with you ^^; Barbed just sounds a might too painful.

				I'll keep looking for images for inspiration, but haven't really found a large gathering of them just yet. Anyhow, it sounds like we are in agreement with the whole ribbed or barbed issue.

I have been able to post in another story I'm involved in because it's not in a sex situation at the moment, so unless we wanted to wait until I'm on break (which will be another week) so I can be in better state to write sex, I'd like to fade to black at least for the time being on the scenes, perhaps segueing with Kira and Tolin.
