Veil of Chaos; Business associated with an RP I'm working on...

Naturally, Darion would hate either option presented to them after defeating the Kingslayer and the Night Heralds. But the actual choice wouldn't be that hard for him to make, once he knew there was no other options. He never fully trusted the Night Heralds in the first place, so he would reject their mysterious offer.

With that in mind, what comes next wouldn't be very easy. Like I said before, by this point Darion would have warmed up to the majority of the party besides just Noel. So the thought of leaving any of them behind would weigh heavily on him. Of course, if Noel were to even try to offer to stay behind, Darion would be quick to shut her down, even going so far as to offer himself up instead to stop her if he had to. I'd like to think with the way things were developing between them before the RP died off, that by now their feelings towards the other would have been made clear. But if not this would have been when he'd have told her he loved her, and if it meant a world where she could be safe and happy, he'd be willing to do whatever it took to make it happen. Even if it meant he couldn't be with her.

But with what the others said in mind, Darion could be hesitantly convinced to stand down from his choice if Noah offered to take his place for the reasons Pera stated. And if Nicholas or Andromeda were dead set on staying behind themselves along with Kaze, Darion would back off.

I probably should've stated in my post, but it'd be ideal if you guys could blatantly state your three choices, or if you choose the Night Herald's offer. It'll be the three who get the most votes that will remain behind. If there isn't three clear choices, the Night Heralds offer will be the default. :0

Also, in case there's any confusion, the Night Herald's offer doesn't necessarily require sacrifices... so keep that in mind.

Okay, just a little revise here. Also to change a bit of stuff now that I've had more time to think.

Nicolas would be interested in the offer, and would express that interest. However, if that doesn't go through he would offer to be a sacrifice, but his place would be taken by Noah who he and Dawn would convince him to not do this. Nicolas wouldn't be too happy with this, but he would accept this nonetheless. His other two choices would be Vioar and Kaze.

I need a little bit of clarification. The only route we have to take is to take the Night Herald's offer, right? No matter the scenario, three of us would have to stay behind to cleanse the world of the miasma and close the portal to the Night World...right? If we reject the offer, then three people would just be sacrificed on the spot, no?

Are you asking us to choose three people to be sacrificed given that the offer is accepted?

The choices are as follows:

1. Elect three people to remain behind. Since the Night World must have three in order for passage to be available, by choosing three from the party to remain behind, the others would be able to leave.

2. Go with the Night Heralds offer, which is purposely ambiguous. I know what it is, but as far as your characters know, it could be anything. It might be to keep everyone there, it might be to let everyone go as thanks for dealing with Oltas; anything. Just keep in mind that the Night Heralds aren't entirely malevolent beings and are highly intelligent.

Dawn refuses to see any of her allies stay behind. Naturally, this would mean she accepts the final offering of the Night Heralds.

Noah, however, would chose the first route, as he doesn't want to risk anything. Noah would elect that Himself, Vioar, and Kaze stay behind.

Both Eduardo and Andromeda would be willing to listen to what this final offer is. If it came to a sacrifice, then Andromeda would be willing to sacrifice herself it necessary, although as I said Eduardo would stop her from carrying it out. Eduardo would accept Kaze, Vioar, and Noah as the three to replace the heralds. However, he would try to stop Andromeda if she was to replace one of the heralds. If it came to having someone sacrificed, preferably Eduardo would elect Sola and Andrea to take Noah and Vioar's place. He could also bring up Tristan, Owen, or/and Greg to be sacrificed as well to spare Kaze.

Darion would go along with the majority if everyone else wanted to see what the Night Herald's offer was. If it was a better option than leaving someone behind, he would prefer that option.

So I tallied everything up and the option to take the Night Heralds offer would by a relatively large margin.

The offer from the Night Heralds would turn out to require only one person to remain behind. The group would not get to choose this, instead the Heralds themselves would. They would want to take Noel to remain with them. In their defeat, their power would have been on the brink of exhaustion. Knowing of Noel's power (or rather the power of her deck), they would keep her with them in the Night World. She would be able to restore their power and then aid them in removing the Miasma, stopping it's slow collapse on Etella and sparing the entire continent.

While it would go without saying that Noel would oppose remaining behind; due to her attachment to everyone she'd been travelling with, particularly Darion, she would eventually succumb to the role she'd have been forced in to. Everyone would be given their chances to say goodbye before being expelled from the Night World where Noel would remain for eternity.

What all this means is that, if you wanted to, you'd be able to use characters from Veil of the Malfested in the new RP. They won't carry over all of their levels, statistics and items from the first run, but they will start with a slight advantage. What the advantage is, I still need to figure out based on a starting point, but everyone will know when I do. Events and happenings will be remembered and most of the people on the new continent will know of what occurred in Etella. King and Queen Bellerophon will make an appearance as may any other who survived the for the entire RP. ;)

Feel free to post any comments, concerns, reactions, speculation or anything else. I hope everyone enjoyed the turn out! :D

So can we potentially get a timeline in relation to when the RP starts? Like, "ten years ago, the miasma appeared and the events of Veil of the Malfested occurred. Five years ago, the miasma dispersed and Veil ended. Now, Veil 2."

Ouch. :/ I can already imagine the way that poor Darion would be feeling after that happened. But that does give him a pretty easy way into the new story, once it gets going. With everything that happened to him since the Kingslayer came to town up to leaving Noel in the Night World, staying in Etella wouldn't be Darion's first choice. There's no happy ending for him there anymore.

The new RP will take place some time within a year of Veil's ending. I'll be able to narrow it down when I get more aspects fleshed out.

Yeah, I'll still be using a new character in this one. Something tells me Nicolas would be the type to settle down after the events of last week's episode, but he'll definitely make a cameo.

Only question is, would Nicolas settle down with Dawn?

I mean, come on. This is literally the second thing he ever said to her:

"And if there's one question I have for you, it's if you're any good at healing broken hearts." Nicolas winked at Dawn as he looked her in the eyes out of the corner of his, flashing a shiny smile.

Nicolas had too much game.

ARE YOU TELLING ME HE'D JUST LAY DOWN AND ACCEPT THAT!?

I wasn't even in the RP, but poor little Noel! That's not a happy ending at all, Sin! D:

I propose a script change! Darion punches the Night Heralds in the face until they cry and then they're like "OKAY OKAY WE'LL FIX IT WITH JUST THE TWO OF US STOP PUNCHING US" and then they fix the miasma and everyone goes home and Darion and Noel have crazy sweet happy sex FOREVER. D:<

This depends on what Dawn's plans were after; but so far the signs point to "yes". He would settle down with her and become an award-winning playwrite over the play-adaptation of the previous adventure.

Hnnng is that play going to have already existed at the start of the RP? One of my character's background very slightly depends on it and I'm the type to make sure every detail is right.

If this play doesn't capture Darion's essence perfectly on stage, he's going to write such a scathing review! >:(

Darion should be like "Noo! If she stays so do I!" and then they can spend their eternity together.

Eduardo and Andromeda will be in the new continent, all with a brand new character. Concepts have been going here and there, but I think I have finalized it. I will post a teaser of some sort for the new character.

Yes, Sin. Dawn has been the best character I've ever had the pleasure of writing with, so naturally, there's a large part of me that wants to use her again. Yet...in her mind, she would have been crazy for Nicolas at the end of the RP, and Dawn would really want to be around him. The only way I can see Dawn going to another land is if Nicolas had died, been left behind or something else had happened to him.

Once the war was over, Dawn would want to help with rebuilding Tel. She'd try to stay under direct orders from Velka and carry out any tasks that the newly wed Queen deemed necessary, as well as taking any other jobs from the King. That is, if the highest ranking people in Tel would have had her. She'd try to drag Nicolas along, too, so they would still be able to see each other a lot.

Nicolas could be convinced to come along, but his combat-involvement may be minimal. I mean either way I wanna focus on Aria as a character.
