The climactic number - "Can We Brake It?" - is about to start. Fall and I prepare to enter the stage from opposite sides. He's about to free his crew from those cages, while I send my minions against them in battle. My gang…

I am SO lucky I wasn't relying hard on Esco. To be honest her part was an afterthought to begin with, so she only had the one aria and a fuckscene, along with a little dialog that wasn't too hard to tea…
I've just left the stage after setting up the final act. My evul henchmen are singing the intro movement of the climactic piece, their voices alternating between facts about the dangers of overpeoplation and the chorus of "Can We Fix It?" I glance…
Ok let's talk about "people from far and wide" coming to the maul. How many people, how often, are they from near or far, this may lead into info or rumors about neighboring communities... Anybody got some good ideas?
Travel is part of the Circus…
Another question (I'm full of em, I'm a font of fictional confabulation!)...
Maybe it hasn't happened yet mechanically, maybe there's another line to cross, but... @Rich, could you see any justifiable way I could actually give 2 NPCs to Niko? Lit…
@Rich - Ok so it's easy to let all the people in the maul know about a show (Yay! We'll get to meet some of them!)
But I also want to think about whether it's true that "people come from far and wide" (as I once said, before the breeze concept was…
Jet , you're headed back to show prep, right? Want to skip ahead in a new scene?
Yup. Or back to the old one (?) Even though it didn't happen that way, when I said Jet needed some "downtime" this afternoon I was picturing that six hours of prep …
Heh. Jet has absolutely no awareness of what's happening in Cache's mind, of course. He's in his own world and sees things in his own terms (usually dramatic ones, filled with passion, conflict, last-minute twists, and a headfucking metal soundtra…
I hear Esco behind me as I leave Mamma's place. Make faux-shock eyes to an imaginary audience ("Dramatic justice, oh noes!") without skipping a step.
There's gotta be some talent in this maul. I'll find it. But tomorrow.
Thing is, Jet is absolutely singleminded when he's working. Everything outside the show is "deal with it laterz" and everything interrupting the show is seen as artless, stupid, or deliberately trying to mess him up. BTW, slight tinge of paranoia …
Ok, this is SHEER BLUE SKY and requires some AI but here goes...

I'm picturing it working something like a translator + a wysiwyg preview frame.
In the main textbox I write my post in FIRST-PERSON and it appears that way to m…
My head pivots to watch Esco flop to the floor. It's the middle of the afternoon, we have a show to do in mere hours, and the entire population of the maul seems to be fucking wasted. My eyes take in everyone in the room one by one, then light bac…
Ok I'm catching up now. Thanks for removing that roll, Rich. Posting in a bit.
ETA: Have hours gone by and all my prep been done? Because if not, Jet is not going to let Esco pull him out of the theater.

I gotta stop rolling these dice unless I'm willing to suffer for it. Poor guy's just trying to do the same frikkin job he does just fine on all the days I'm not playing him!
I can't think of anything she likes that she doesn't already have. I'm drawing a complete blank. Maybe I don't know Rache as well as I thought I did. Make a mental note to spend more downtime with her. But not now. Now it's back to work.
I stick with them for a first run-through of all the songs they're cast in (including a few breaks for last-minute inspirations from Franc). Example: He has added in some loops he found somewhere featuring these awesome vocalizations. It's somebod…
"Why would Mari be looking for me at Mamma's? What the shit is wrong with people today?" It's rhetorical question because I don't expect anything but a smug smile from Esco. She loves it when other people are in trouble. And Mari is in trouble, …
Yeah agreed it's Simulationist. Maybe an option. If you really wanted to do time right, you'd probably have to make people "claim" a chunk of time just before writing their post. That way the system would know instantly that character X is busy f…
"Yeah, yeah." I've seen Mari wasted many times, but mostly in party situations. But now that I stop to think about it, lately she has seemed rather woozy and withdrawn (I wince at my own internal pun). Pat on the shoulder. "Ok, thanks. Let me k…
I almost want to say Sliding Timeline keyed to hours, days, etc. Scenes appear as colored dots or thicker bars running for their duration. Roll over the bar to get a popup showing the scene title and characters. This timeline also allows characte…
That stops me for two moments. I stare at Jackbird's face, my lips pursed as if almost ready to speak, trying to see if he's lying or hiding anything.
