In fact Johnny's been attacked twice and still refuses to carry any kind of weapon.Really? Who would possibly attack the annoying know it all? :p
Don't be like that, Masky-man, just cuz Johnnys tricky and I keep telling you Johnny is smart but not so wise.

I thought all of Agartha was high-ish magic? Why are these people afraid of an iPad?

Agartha is composed of a lot of different cultures. Some of those cultures are very anti-magic. Basically I looked at where Johnny was headed and decided to have him set down in the village that Sadie and Dara were from. The angry mob will be there shortly.
Basically the idea is if you don't stop and do some research first you never know what kind of situation you're walking into.

Nah, the idea that everyone would be grateful for Johnny's interference is depressingly predictable. Not respecting the indigenous culture backfires sometimes. Your chances of running into hostile cultures is greater if you don't learn some of the history and geography before you take off. The percentage of hostile cultures is greater than the percentage of cultures that don't mind being interfered with.
This kind of thing can take weeks of diplomatic negotiation to do successfully.

Well we can swap cliches all day, in the end its your call, your world, This is more than a one off for Johnny, this is a fact finding trip as well. If Johnny drops out the sky into a isolated medieval school with no knowledge at all of the bigger world. Then s/he will still lean something, no fail here just more knowledge. Think is johnny will just try again, looking for a better place more receptive, if s/he fails she will keep on, others at the school have their own agendas, Johnnys is this, s/he just can't stand by, just can not, there is more going on here then Johnny getting happy faces and hand shakes.
| lynora |
*sigh* there are no happy endings here are there? :/
There are plenty of happy endings for a certain value of happy. But yeah, anytime there's people involved it gets complicated. Jealousy is a powerful emotion and there will be problems from this. If he asked anyone at all (say, Tyrrin for example) who knew about the politics of Agartha he could help lots of people without causing problems. But running off half-cocked doesn't get you a lot of happy ending material. Mostly it gets more drama.

Right, because yours is the only truth that matters. How despressingly predictable.
(Just to be clear, I'm teasing Johnny, not you Spug. ;D)
NOOOOooo you could have told me, :P
| "Ace" |
This should be interesting. Johnny was supposed to have stayed in Kuros, based on a PM I had sent him.
| Johnny Panic |
Ooh...this should be interesting. Johnny just unknowingly created a major diplomatic incident. This will be coming back to bite him (and a lot of other people). :D
@Lyn
Now where talking :) cool Johnny should get this wrong, like this, The CULTURE has a specialized group called contact that dos just as you say,when things go very wrong, well there is another group for that.
:)
@Ace
come on do you think Johnny spend the who night dress shopping will, your having small talk over the Desert, Stop worrying Johnny will be back in time
:P
| "Ace" |
No, but once more you move too fast. This isn't the first time its happend. I can't imagine its been more than an hour since they arrived at the restaurant. Probably less, since Lyn said it wasn't crowded, which means they were served kinda quick.
Its ok, what happens will take place regardless of where Johnny is, another country, another planet, dosen't matter. Besides, there's no reason for you to hurry back, as that's metagaming. Take your time, be at ease.
| Johnny Panic |
Ace, slow down Johnny, Ty Dave and Sam went to the Town very early, we have all ready had an early tea/Dinner, and after Sam & Dave went to Fencing, it was wile he was there that johnny headed out, No idea when Ace headed to town, but where you at Fencing? Johnny has told Ty he would be an hour-ish
And now that Ace /Moneky has let the cat out the bad, Ty I am sorry but this is why Johnny has been doing little in town over the last week RL time. If you want to do something we can now.
| Damiani |
Ryo - it may be worrying to find that both Tyrrin and Johnny - two people with wildly different philosophies have independently reached the same conclusion about the school.
Should be worrying, to say the least.
They aren't the only ones! They might be the only ones to speak on it though. :)

Wow.
Just got off the phone with a career coaching/counseling agency that helps people find jobs, get in touch directly with HR managers, rebuild resumes and networking profiles, etc.
Sounded great until I found out their rates. Six months of assistance can be mine for the low low price of $3,000.00. I say again.....Wow.
Yeah. (ಠ_ಠ)
| Tybalt Baneko |
Check my post. That's just how it seems to most people. There are flaws to that logic though.

And they expect people without jobs to pay this? O_o

Check my post. That's just how it seems to most people. There are flaws to that logic though.
Yup. Tyrrin abandonned the idea some time ago. Just disturbing that Tyrrin is Lawful incarnate and Johnny seems to profess as Chaotic incarnate and they both reached the same conclusion.
| The Dalesman |
Oh, I could spread the payment out over the six months. It was literally all I could do to keep my mouth shut on that until I got off the phone.
"Most of our clients are able to take care of the fee, either up front or within the six-month period, depending on what they put down for the initial payment...."

Well... regardless of Alignment, the thought can float through your mind. It's how you react to it, that's what might matter.

Haven't you heard or read the news? Unemployment is horrible and companies aren't hiring folk.
Therefore, that's their way of keeping their own salaries.
Sounds absurd.
Yeah. They're just like insurance and pharmaceutical companies They're all rackets/pocket mafias. Talk about being in the wrong line of work... (o_O)
| Damiani |
Tybalt-- just to clarify, are the emoticons you add to your IC posts ... your attempt at being descriptive to the tone or expression of Tybalt?
Because, I'm ... not sure how to take them, frankly. Whether it's your OOC opinion being added to the post, or your character's physical expression you didn't type out.
Thanks, just looking to .. translate.

"Weak willed beady easily bent to the wills of the family" and yet by saying this you disprove yourself
If anyone were to broach the possibility of this place being an army, Dave would be Like "they need to be less subtile where's my power ******"
And really on a concious level Dave feels little affiliation to the school/sunwakes as far as wars go, if he was still dateing Raelle it would be different as he would see the group as his (not like as in possession but like a primal kind of if you harm them you harm me and i won't stand for you harming me)

And that is the conclusion Tyrrin reached.
Ryo, and other members of the Sunwakes, do very little to actually instill loyalty, beyond providing the setting for these kids (along with food, etc). Ryo hides in his office, Aananda works in the labs, etc.
You'd need alot more of a cult of personality or something if this were an army camp. ;D

Ya those are Tyb's expressions. I figured that it's best for him. They can be taken quite literally. He actually does the anime style eyes closed smile. Hope that helps. ^_^

I just thought of something....exactly how and where did Johnny get any information at all about the Resistance, given that there's technically nothing at all at the school about it?

Pretty normal going rate for that...the problem is that more than half of them are scams and it's hard to sort out who is who. :/
| Johnny Panic |
Now that is a question is it not, just where and why would Johnny know this, not that any one but Ty knows that Johnny knows and who ever told Johnny. Mind you that all depends on which Johnny your talking about.

Effectively-- every time you post, I'm rudely removed from my George Perez style art/cartoon into an Anime horror of some High School Dramaz show.
So, yes. It fills me with rage and loathing!

Thanks though, while I'd prefer you write out the expressions and such to add to the color, at the least, you're adding emoticons.
:) Cheers. This is meant in humor, to an extent. ;)

The only Sunwake with the temperament to create that cult of personality is Jiminy and he's taken himself out of the picture in favor of rebuilding the planet's industry.

It makes me chuckle how Johnny apparently knows everything yet simultaneously is horribly unaware of the law of unintended consequences.
These do not make for a good combination.
As I have said more than once, Johnny is very intelligent but not very wise. But this could go a number of ways, the one that's being laid out is the one I kid of know would come. Johnny is an easy target for a partilyer kind of, 'cynical spin' that will back up the status Quo, where as Johnny is all about Status Vardis.
With his views on the school, I expected johnny to have a ruff ride on this, what hes throwing up is another perspective. Wile most want will do any thing not to rock the rock the proverbial boat, Johnny will push.
