Timeskip Check-In Meme aka Plotting 2.0

The Timeskip Check-In Meme

With the game entering the second half of the timeskip, so many characters are getting involved in a lot of different things and changing in so many ways, not to mention changing things in the Drabwurld. But with so much activity, it's hard to know what's really going on and who's doing what. This meme is designed to not only to update the playerbase of what your character is up to, but also plot out anything you'd like to accomplish and thread out during the second half.

TL;DR plotting post 2.0, let's go.

Character name: Rin Tohsaka
Canon: Fate/Stay Night
About your character (optional): Ambitious entrepreneur who keeps herself busy with various projects most notably crystallized statues and airships.
Link to your character's timeskip page: LINK

Character's current location: The Barrel, Aghmhor

Businesses/titles your character has: So many businesses that they have their own page. Known primarily as the Artificer of Trade, Rin is also a Trade Minister of Dorchadas and most recently Skelesaka The Undead Lich. She's also involved in the R&D, the Magic Guild, Mair (though probably not for much longer), and hopefully the Mage University.

What has your character accomplished during the timeskip so far? By this point, she's probably got a ship or two in the air so there's that. Adopted a child and publicly named him a heir, as well as successfully worked with others to transplant Kayneth's crest into him. Everything else primarily is around the town the Barrel is located in and not widely known unless you're involved with the natives.

What are they doing for the second half so far? Training, working on keeping Aghmhor a safe place for her family and other Shardbearers and working on trade from a distance.

What would you like to accomplish for them during the second half of the timeskip? I'd like to really get the magic/shard training underway. I lost my motivation with the timeskip during March due to a variety of reasons, but I've taken hiatuses everywhere just to devote April to finishing up things. If we agreed to something and you're still interested, let's hash that out please. I also have a couple of quests I'll be hashing out soon (one for Redgate's blood drive, another for anti-Shardbearer stuff in Aghmhor) so if you'd like to be involved, let me know.

Is there any specific kind of CR you're seeking during the timeskip? Closer bonds with established CR and figuring out where everyone is post-timeskip is my goal. I won't say no to new people.

Who/where is your character most-likely to be found spending time with during the timeskip? The Barrel primarily. Her known associates are Lord El-Melloi II, Saber, Rider, Shirou Emiya, and her adopted son, Scian. She is seen constantly with others like Alice and Lancelot, though from an outsider's glance it'd be difficult to tell if they're close.

Anything else? Like I already mentioned, March exhausted me mentally and emotionally. I've set aside April to fully do things, but I also plan to continue to thread out timeskip stuff after. If you're interested in running google docs for interactions or anything of the sort, I can do that. Certain things won't be handwaved (like magic training), but we can write it out in a doc and post it since it flows better that way.

Kept this as light as I can considering she's done a LOT of stuff so /o/

[raavashing]

Do you want to do shard training in a doc? I don't usually do google docs, but I can give it a go if you'd prefer.

[gandere]

That would be your call entirely. I'm pretty flexible and now that I've sorted out my own conflicts, I can devote time to these things. Logging is easy, a google doc just makes the writing flow a bit better though it can be harder to manage without notifs. If you prefer a log, we can do that. Just a matter of determining when we want to start it.

I think over the duration of the timeskip until winter 2702 they will grow a bit closer (with the letter and all), so we can easily start it up when you're ready.

[raavashing]

I'd definitely prefer a log so notifs come. We can probably start that now and just thread it through the rest of the month. Do a series of vignettes on it, essentially. I'd prefer it in my timeskip log if possible, since it's his training? But if you want to do non-training scenes we can do them in the Barrel catch-all or your timeskip page or wherever.

[gandere]

I know mods generally prefer to have shard activation stuff in the main game community considering how important it is, but I've seen a few others do their own in their timeskip pages so we can do that. Just make sure it's outlined in the character info or something so the mods know it's actually been logged out somewhere :D

I'm definitely not opposed to multiple threads either. Did you want to set something up or should I swing by? I figure it'll probably be handled later on this week after the letters, but I did add that to my check list.

[raavashing]

If they prefer it in the logs comm, we can do that. I was just thinking it would be better not to clutter things up when the time skip pages are available.

And we can set it up later this week after the letters. I'm not sure if Wan would approach Rin or Rin would offer and I want to see how the letters play out before posting a log up. o7

[gandere]

Makes sense. We can do it timeskip page or logs community. I know they wanted us to not clutter things up, but with this sort of thing it's difficult. Might be easier for you to locate if it's in your journal at any rate so!

I'll work on them now. Probably one for each month up until when? November? December? January? :)

[raavashing]

December I think. Wan will be arriving at the barrel early January (after Ariadne's festival, tho)

[babbylon]

yes hello I'm here for the bonding

[gandere]

So what kind of bonding would you like? I know they have a strained relationship due to a number of things and Rin is looking for someone to blame for her suffering. It's just right now she's doing a lot in order to drown out her own feelings so he can easily slide in. They had a couple of early March conversations that were strained and then there's the tournament. Anything else you wanted to squeeze in?

[babbylon]

The network thread went kind of an unexpected direction (in a very good way) and we've got the tournament thread going which I suspect may ease tensions. A little. Slightly. Maybe. He's done a lot of the Creeper around her but at this stage is also attempting to convey he's not really much of the same threat he was before, because a) sucking up for any potential connections and b) he holds a legitimate interest in her as a magus and what she can do. c) twintails

Also, obligatory check-in regarding the slyphs stuff goes here if anything's changed. Feel free to catch me up to speed on where that's at if needed.

Actually I think an emotional sort of blow-up would be neat to thread out around the end of the timeskip. Gil will be in a good enough mood to not react aggressively and he may actually be a little more forthcoming about daddy during this time. Of course "emotional blow-up" can mean any number of things so I'm flexible on that.

[gandere]

Always the twintails.

Sylph stuff is going to be post timeskip (probably) from the sanity of the mods. I shot off a couple of messages, but haven't heard anything back yet. Once I do, I'll let you know.

An emotional blow up would be fun, but I'd have to see where she's at mentally by then, especially if said blow up would set her back. Did you have something in mind you were hoping for as a result?

[babbylon]

Good to know on the slyphs. Feel free to ping me into whatever's relevant at that time.

I think ideally these two would come to an understanding that they are... not as they remember each other, which means moving forward from just "hey it's that guy who killed my dad and tried to kill everyone else too" and "hey it's that little girl whose dad I killed". Once they reconcile (as much as they ever could, anyway, obviously there's no erasing proxy murder) over those different outcomes in different worlds which have made them different people, then there's more wiggle room.

...there's also the matter of Saber to consider, which they're both in agreement on. Like I said, I could see this going a number of different ways, so it can easily be something that winds up beneficial for Rin if she lets off some steam in the process. Kind of like before but with potentially less fireballs to the face.

[gandere]

Will do. I've been caught in PM/clarification hell everywhere so my OOC communication has dwindled to a non-existent state Q_Q

I'll think on it and see what kind of ideas I can come up with since I'm heading off to bed soon. Please feel free to do the same and we'll see what we have later on.

[babbylon]

Understandable. I'll PP you later with what I've got and we can hash it out! Sleep well! o7
