Jan. 31st, 2008 @ 06:07 pm Warmakers Valentine's Day drabbles
Current Mood: hopeful

Let's celebrate Valentine's Day by being geeks. 8D Specifically, let's write kiss drabbles for Warmakers!

If you're interested (and I realize that much of my friendslist is not, so feel free to ignore), comment here with a pairing and a prompt - a phrase, a location, a song lyric, whatever.

Then anyone - not just me - can respond to your comment with a 100-word drabble about the pairing's kiss. Edit: At [info]shadawyn's suggestion, remember that you can always respond to a comment that already has a drabble. There's no limit to how many a prompt can produce!

Make them romantic, cracked, funny, sexy, whatever. Just make 'em fun.

Jan. 11th, 2008 @ 12:49 pm [Warmakers] Gestures
Current Mood: geeky

During last Saturday's Warmakers session, I RPed some conversations for Sae that were really interesting for her character development, so I decided to write them into fic and inflict share them with others. Much of this story is just a glorified transcript of the conversations I had in person with other players ... thought I'm not sure why it ended up so dang long.

As a side note, following this adventure, Sae took the feat that allows her more daily uses of her invisibility power. I hadn't planned it this way, but it worked out rather neatly.

Title: Gestures
Characters: Sae, Ichiro, Reika, Gunnar
Warmakers Adventure: 16
Word Count: ~5100
Summary: Unexpected events teach Sae a few new things about friendship.
Notes: Thanks to [info]jack_grimm and [info]ratzeo for both the original conversations, and for help as I was transcribing them into fic form.

Sae realizes she's rather a lot like Ichiro, and is reminded that she likes Gunnar rather a lot. )

Dec. 27th, 2007 @ 10:25 pm [Warmakers] Contrast
Current Mood: geeky

I am apparently very suggestible, at least when it comes to [info]shadawyn. :P She mentioned that I was one of the only players who hadn't written fic for this latest adventure (which was because I didn't have any story ideas), and then several phrases and ideas immediately popped into my head.

Oh well. Can't complain.

Be warned that Sae is (still) a wangsty teenager. But she's learning, bit by bit.

Title: Contrast
Characters: Sae, mention of Rex
Warmakers Adventure: 15
Word Count: ~700
Summary: Differences - and the discomfort they cause - can be educational.

A lot of the girls seem to be thinking about Rex. )

Title: In the Flesh
Characters: Sae and Reika, mentions of Gunnar and Ichiro
Warmakers Adventure: 14
Word Count: ~3,300
Summary: Sae's sister is her twin, but that doesn't mean their bodies are the same. Sae likes her Guardian powers, but that doesn't mean she's comfortable with what her body can do.
Notes: All of the twins' conversation comes from an email RP with [info]shadawyn.

Still on the B-52 ... )

Title: Long-Distance Communication
Characters: Sae and Gunnar
Warmakers Adventure: 14
Word Count: ~1,200
Summary: The Guardians are chased out of Tokyo by devils. Gunnar and Sae have a chance to talk. Both things are pretty scary.
Notes: Much of this fic was co-written in an email RP with [info]ratzeo, Gunnar's player, and involves a minor retcon of what happened during the adventure.

Having a low Charisma means you tend to put your foot in your mouth. Having a high Wisdom means you know it. Neither one makes you a better conversationalist. )

Nov. 10th, 2007 @ 01:19 pm [Warmakers] Reflections, Distortions

Squeaking in under the deadline of tomorrow's adventure ...

Title: Reflections, Distortions
Characters: Sae, Reika, and a little bit of Miya, Gunnar, and Ichiro
Warmakers Adventure: 12 and 13.
Word Count: ~3,200
Summary: Reflections aren't always accurate; reflections can be stretched, bent, distorted, depending on the mirror. The same image has infinite possibilities for change.

Sae is reflected in those around her. )

So, if one were particularly dorky, one might have imagined this fic representing an "episode" of Warmakers that centers on Sae's character development, the way that a lot of anime series dedicate an episode to individual character introspection. There would be a lot of artistic still shots and blank screens with text, a la an episode of Honey & Clover or Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou. The text would be anonymous, yearning questions, such as What does it mean to be different? and How do I change myself without you? And maybe the opening scene, with young Reika and Sae, would be echoed in a closing image of two hands, larger than children's, letting go of each other.

But only if one were particularly dorky. ;)

Galath and Nexus talk. Nexus thinks. Nym watches.

Thanks to [info]ratzeo for helping me RP with Galath (an NPC), which I used as a loose guide for this story.

I need a Nexus icon. Hm.

Anyhoo, this is a little mini-fic I started writing a while ago, to start exploring Nexus' concept of gender. Then [info]miss_arel's character brought the subject up at Sunday's game, so it seemed apropos to finish it up and post it.

In case it isn't clear, this scene takes place when Nexus is very young, before it rebelled from its former owner, and is still a soldier.

I am totally up past my bedtime. Damn you, [info]ratzeo. XD

I wrote this because I wanted to have a record of the awesomeness that was Saturday's adventure. As such, this is mostly a straightforward recounting of the events of the final battle. I hope it's accessible (and interesting) to people who weren't at the game. I really do think this is one of my favorite adventures that I've ever played, and I hope to convey some of the excitement for others.

That said, the details of the events may not be entirely accurate. Because, well, I forgot them, and my notes are at [info]ratzeo's place. :P Additionally, I got GM approval for retconning a bit at the end so that Nexus could take a token from Kershahk.

Tags: ,

Two (and a half) adventures in, and [info]ratzeo has me writing fic for his game. I don't know if that's cool, or sad. :P

My character in this game is Nexus, a construct based off of the Warforged race from the Eberron campaign setting (just with a different origin story). It is three years old, and has spent over two years wandering on its own, since it killed the man who once controlled it. It is a chaotic neutral Crusader whose powers are granted by Tempus, deity of warriors. (It also eschews gender identity, for reasons I'll probably write about later.)

In this story, it has just survived a battle against a cult of evil werewolves who threatened to overrun a human town. Lyson (played by Rommel) is its faithful sidekickhuman companion. Other characters who show up are Anora ([info]zinjadu, Luth (Kindra), Levanter ([info]casaval), and Buron ([info]niwatorimegami). Those may or may not be the correct spellings of their names.

Another Warmakers story, taking place during Sunday's adventure, in which Sae retrieved her fated Guardian artifact. Includes introspection regarding Sae's role as a Hero of Destiny, as well as some geeky references/foreshadowing about her class progression.

As always, thanks to [info]irishninja for a great adventure.

It's really bloody hot in my house.

... Which apparently triggers my brain to write fic for Warmakers ([info]irishninja's game). Who knew.

Takes place during Episode 9, "Trained to Kill," wherein our heroes are interrupted on their train ride to Moscow on their way to continue their holy quest. My character, Sae, is usually very reticent during game sessions. So I made her talk a lot.
