[OOC Board] - All the World's a Game

[Cucoo5]

cause of college I'm a bit random on my posting times.
Anyway I read alil on what's going on and would think Robin could be introduced in the lab seemingly out of nowhere and help who ever is the good guys (would need like a summary list or something) by having already secured an escape route if pinned down/out numbered/out gunned/etc.
Or Chung finds him laying in the field between where he is and where he's going.

[S121]

@Cucoo

I'm fine with him joining the fight in the lab, but we might need to check in with SUSTIC first.

I would recommend starting off that Robin sees and hears the explosion, and goes in to investigate.

Of course, by that time, the police will already be on the scene before Robin and Chung can make it into the base, so they might need to work together to get inside.

It will be a good way for Robin to quickly make an ally, as well as quickly creating a plausible scenario. They both have a common goal, so they work together to achieve it.

How does that sound to you?

It's only a suggestion, so it's not set in stone.

@ SUSTIC
True... GMT -7 time. You know, the clock at the bottom of the page.

[S121]

@Wonder

For me, it says GMT-6.

It's 6:58 AM over here.

[Cucoo5]

alright so the fields in between that lone hill and the lab it is...

Ok now If I did it really like FE:A I would have some sorta vision (unless somewhere in the IC is something of the like already?) before Robin wakes up. And the explosion (In the lab is it?) could be the end of the vision which makes him awaken as though from a nightmare.

Would replace Validar with someone else as well as Chrom.

I leave who with you lot...
Now there's a second outcome for this scene (spoilers for FE:A) so it's flexible.

...oh and if we needed more badies, there's always Risen

[S121]

We've used visions to sort of introduced characters.

I used quotes from the Halo franchise and made a sort of dream sequence where everything was black and the quotes echoed through John's head.

In the end, you are the master of your fate, not us. (Oh my, how overly dramatic of me.)

[Kristia]

my time at the moment is 8:07

GMT -5

[S121]

@Kristia

Goodmorning and welcome back!



@Wonder

You too.




I still have yet to get some actual sleep.

[Cucoo5]

Even though this is from Endgame, not really spoilerish.

Note: If you read through the script, there's parts that change if Robin is Male or Female.

>Robin breaks free and returns

---------------
Use this instead of the standard opening of FE:A? Maybe?

[Kristia]

well then, time to start class, cya later ^^

[S121]

@Cucoo

It could work.

The only time I would recommend using videos would be if it was a flashback, or memory.

Text sequences are much more flexible and can be altered to fit your needs.



@Kristia

Later.

[Cucoo5]

I could use either, such as converting the video to text.
I just need to know if I did the video's scenario who or what to use in place of Validar and Chrom.
For the other I'd use it as is and make it go like so at the end:

Robin: Ugh
- opens eyes
Robin: ...! Wait, no!
- gets up and looks around.
Robin: Chrom? CHROM!!
- panic starts to set in
Robin: Chrom! Lissa! NOOO!
- falls to his knees, and looks to his hands
Robin: I...what happened??? Did I...? No...it has to be a trick! The others need me! I... have to...
- goes limp and stares off into the distance.
Robin: This...can't...
- looks at his surroundings slowly, his eyes still wide. As he takes in his new environment, realization slowly seeps in.
Robin: Everyone...forgive me...
- closes eyes and feels the breeze rustle his cloak gently. His mind slowly worked on his current situation...

...Would this do or do I need to write it in traditional prose instead of script?

[S121]

I would say traditional prose.

That's the normal format here.

It tends to flow more easily and prevents the story from taking sudden changes in structure.

What are you trying to do with Validar and Chrom?

[wonderweiss]

Alright, lunch time. I got some time.

[Cucoo5]

If I did do the video opening's "structure" (battle with bad guy, ally gets pushed from danger, Robin sacrifices himself in a sense etc.) I would replace Validar and Chrom with a respective character we have or planning on having for the two roles.

...and traditional prose, oh dear this will take a bit of time then.
