So RE5 then?

Menarker · 05-12-2011, 04:40 PM

It definately look excessively derivative when summed up like that. :3

A question just occurred to me all the sudden.

We know that Impact gave or was going to give Charlotte leadership recently (or was in the process of doing so as of this post.)

However, since that post, there has never really been an acknowledgement of Charlotte's supposed new status or any clarification on Impact's motivation for wanting to give up his position (since getting a high military position was one of his big goals) or why he passed it to Charlotte specifically out of all other alternatives.

At first, I figured it would be alluded to in a flashback from Gem, but with his more or less permanent retirement I'm kinda left wondering. Has it actually happened yet? Do you AB or Bard know about those specifics and if so, do or can your characters know those details in character as well? (I'm not saying that it SHOULD be revealed now, but I'm just curious if it is details that's been forgotten or details waiting to be elaborated on at a later point.

Of course, there is also the Chosen One details, but it doesn't look like Impact knows about that in-character, since I don't think he met Eldys yet, so his motivation can't really be to give away his position to make room for Chosen One status...

It makes me curious... >_> and worried if Charlotte starts lording over her new authority, much to everyone's dismay including anyone in her party... like Matthias...

Bard The 5th LW · 05-12-2011, 05:00 PM

Matt made a comment about the psycho being leader. Me and Gem spoke about it, but I can't fully remember the details as to why Impact gave her the leadership. As for why Charlotte accepted? She'll lie if asked. She may lord over someone depending on the situation.

DanteFalcon · 05-12-2011, 07:25 PM

The friction between Matt and Charlotte will definitely escalate should she be leader. He's ok with everyone but her.

Bard The 5th LW · 05-12-2011, 08:01 PM

And she hates everyone but him!

Honestly, that is actually closer the the truth than you'd think. She appreciates his lack of speaking. He is remarkably low on the shit-list compared to others as of now.

EXCERPT FROM THE DIARY OF CHARLOTTE BEAUFORT

...so I was like, this close to breaking all of his fingers one by one, but then Impact stepped in. Jackass. I swear if Granger pulls something like that again I'll take him down Impact with him. My co-workers are so annoying. Why can't PATCA just let me set shit on fire without them? Its not hard at all.

Renny's just distracting, Pierce is a douche, Impact is boring(better than Pierce I guess), and the others are just insane. The bug dude is tolerable I guess. I think his name is Matt or something. He doesn't say much, which is more than can be said than the rest of them. I guess I'll put up with them until this Faynoc stuff is done though, killin' and whatnot.

Anyways, poker night tomorrow. If....

You could always try asking Impact in character about it.

Incidentally, if you seem to have a question that involves something in-character, it couldn't hurt you to try asking in the RP. If it's impossible to find out why in the RP, either ask in these threads or just drop the topic entirely...or hang onto it until an opportunity presents itself.

That way, your character knows why as well as the player does.

'Cause knowledge is power!

>_> Oh geez. This is an interesting situation.

Matthias is skillful but silent. He hates Charlotte antics and while she isn't terribly fond of him, she doesn't hate him back. She's in charge and he suffers some of the aftermath and has to go along with it, while he's entirely not pleased with the ways things are going... Her perchance for indiscriminate destruction/cruelty runs completely counter to how he operates and yet he can't do a thing about it but bear it as he does the dirty work...

Matthias is thus closest to being Charlotte's Beleaguered Assistant despite her not being nearly incompetent as Zapp Brannigan or many of the other examples listed on the page...

^^;

EDIT: And I'm just asking in curiousity, because I don't think Renny is aware that the chain of command changed from Impact to Charlotte, so unless there is a real why Renny knows that much and still wants to learn more, I can't really ask in the RP. (Also, Renny is currently in the middle of an attempt to talk to Whitney and isn't just going to break that off all the sudden to ask an unrelated question)

Not that it bugs me entirely. I can wait for something more conclusive like an in-RP official annoucement or something.

EDIT: Now that I think of it, I would actually be suprised if Charlotte didn't try anything to Pierce when she sees him. I mean, from the looks of that diary above, she's pissed with Pierce's solo foray and she's probably already got him down on her shitlist for getting plastered, kissing her and being otherwise a pest to her personally. I don't think she is the forgiving type or willing to give very many chances. :3

Bard The 5th LW · 05-13-2011, 02:39 PM

I'm totally waiting for the opportunity to have Charlotte say "Let him burn in the grave he dug himself" right when he shows up behind her.

Dracorion · 05-13-2011, 03:18 PM

If Pierce sneaks up behind her, Charlotte wouldn't be able to say anything.

Menarker · 05-13-2011, 04:02 PM

Cause you're totally going to be aware that she's wanting to badmouth you and wanting to sneak in instead of approaching your allies and making your presence known.

Also, your sneaking skills are so extreme that you can slip past the notice of everyone else in the room, whose collective vision probably covers pretty much the entire section.

Right...
