The Shadow Carnevale (OOC)

Out of character chatter about The Shadow Carnevale thread can go here to avoid cluttering up the Roleplay thread.This is for longer questions and answers related to that Roleplay, general rules questions not answered in the Help! thread can go in General.

Add a link back to the post in question so we can have context. After posting you can right-click on the orange header and select 'copy link address' (or whatever your browser calls it), then paste that in your OOC post.

You each think you are alone in experiencing this carnival [ref]. Your actions may affect each other, but you don't know these are your companion's actions.

So, depending on posting rate and such, it could be that one person gets much more done in this dream(?) than another. Is that fine, or should we wait for each other?
Now that Albert will likely get some more info, can the other assume they seem the same?

Just trying to see how we should play this out.

That is bound to happen whenever we split up (maybe the real reason for 'rule'?:). We will work it all out when things come back together.
No, play at your own pace.

Those who post frequently may get more granular information and those who post less frequently may get bigger bites at a time, but it very much depends on what you actually do.
The characters would not know what Albert learns, but the players can use that information to shape their decisions and avoid duplicating screen-time.

If you want your character to learn something another has learned, and it is feasible that they can learn it, just say so and we can make it happen, even if we have to nudge fate a little to cause the reveal in the story. If you specifically want a particular piece of information so your character can act upon it, say so and we will try to shoehorn it into your scene, if you can see a clear way for them to learn this, go for it.
Good questions. I am sure we will all work it out.

Also, it has been implied this may be 'dream realm' so maybe what is true for one might not be true for another? Just saying.

A little soundtrack for your trip to the fair. Use your good quality speakers or headphones, Annie’s voice is worth it :)

Wow. There is so much complexity in that. My youtube defaults to 2.5x speed but I had to slow this down to 1x before all the layers of sound were apparent. So much would be lost with crappy speakers.

Roald would probably wake up someone.
Not sure if this means that you want us to go by ourselves and leave the rest.
It's a dream, so we can act different then usual.

Ordinarily, yes, but:
Yes. You each start exploring the scene on your own.
Indeed. This course of action seems reasonable to you. You are welcome to start thinking it strange as the scene progresses, and then you can try to get back to your companions or get out, or whatever else you want to do. The sooner you want your character to realise this the harder you should push on the boundaries of the 'dream'.

sorry, I overlooked that sentence.

Yeah, well... it was english. :)

Damn, I should have said "I'm a bartender not a bear-tender". I thought of that one too late.

I did say that, so the intent came through. :)

Awesome! 😁

Gonna wait a bit to post again so the others don't come back to a pile of large posts.

*Worst is Dutch for sausage.

Roald weighs his pouch: your choice to make it heavy or light in this dream Vague ;-)

Just like in a dream, focusing on details like reading or counting is not possible.

Oh. I thought the duck shaped sausages in a wave was a sign hanging from the roof.
I'll make it work.

It already works. They are now just like you remember, ducklings floating on water.

I'll slow down with the craziness now. ;-)
If you don't want Roald to exit, I can have him exit and enter the exact same room again.
In answer to your questions in the general chat:
I don't think we're supposed to do anything meaningful at the carnival, and that its some kind of metaphor to overcome the poison.
If you see it differently, let me know.

I'm afraid to ask what a "sausage of the very worst kind" might be implying [ref]. 😂
