Me too! Didn't want to interfere in the limelight of Giorgio, Gasparo and to some extend Ferran.

I'm available to post now. I assume things are still happening in the hall?

After that concludes, do you guys want more conversations or activities eg:
  • Marco explaining the deal to Ferran/Giorgio
  • Gasparo reporting to Giovanni
  • Seeing life around Mirandola
  • Any other plans or suggestions from you guys?
I have a few ideas for random little interludes if you would like, or just jump ahead a few days to the exciting stuff?

No spcific suggestions from me regarding Marco, the next thing for him should be to go back to Venice and do his job. Just one thing I would like to see, I wont go into specifics but just say it does require a skirmish or other opportunity for Marco to shoot/sling someone ;) so I hope there will be one in a foreseeable future. Otherwise, Marco will stick close to Ferran to cover his sucidal ass.

So do I. Ferran's hand still hangs in midair after all. ;)

Whatever suits everyone best. I believe that Marco will explain the deal to Giorgio and Ferran. If you guys want we can play it out. Otherwise we could get it done in background/OCC. I'm cool either way.

Ferran probably won't be getting out of the manor much. He has to rest and he also has another motive. That is if the whole thing doesn't derail the story from what matters.

Giovvani has a huge collection of books. The Catalan might find something interesting in there. If he is allowed access to the library that is. Or he might try to milk some info out of Gasparo, or even Giovanni himself. Don't forget these interesting facts:
  • He is Curious. I mean it. Probably this "minor" flaw will be his downfall.
  • He got that new SA about opposing God's tyrrany. He was a devout Catholic until now. His world of belief has crumbled around him. He needs answers to what is happening to him. And knowledge for the coming storm.
  • He really needs to know more about Ala. And he feels that Giovanni knows more than he says.
Apart from this specific request concerning Ferran in particular, I trust that thirtythr33 will make it very interesting and engaging very soon™ for all of us. Just do your worst mate. :twisted:

We can take it. :D

Gregor'll just do his duties, while carefully trying to make friends. He will not take sides in the Gasparo vs Giorgio standoff.

Maybe we shouldn't so much rely on scenes where DannyBoy is absolutely required to write something. Seems he's still quite busy in RL. There will be some opportunities for him to act, even when the next scene is not about his conflict...

I'll see what I can do.

We don't need to play out his recounting the deal, but Macro putting the Medici back in charge of Florence instead of supporting their uprising to become a Republic could well conflict with Ferran's new SA. Especially considering that the current Pope is a Medici. Plus Giorgio probably doesn't like the idea of dealing with Giovanni.

He is. But the other stuff would need to be played out. I'll give you some info OOC that he finds in the library but, if you got only 1 other scene what would it be?

Oh boy you have no idea. I've been cooking this for over a year. You guys are going to freak the fuck out.

Cool, I'll come up with something.

After great hall scene, there's going to be a few threads with only 1 or 2 of you in each scene. I should be able to get all your separate threads done in short order to get to the good stuff. If you don't mind breaking continuity a bit, I could get them rolling pretty soon...

Responded. Apologies, I've been distracted with other matters. :twisted:

Now that we've had and moved on from the (admittedly minor) confrontation about the alleged acts of sorcery, I'm pretty sure it's just going to be small-talk from here on out anyway, unless Giorgio wants to make a big deal to Ferran about his new lease on life or someone wants to pick a fight over breakfast. I'm good to move forward whenever.

Whew, that's a big post. I'm kind of assuming that Gasparo and Ferran have been researching together and that the information found there was shared. If that's not the case, let me know. I'm kind of assuming the pair will have a discussion but w/e works.

I'll put up another thread for Marco and Gregor tomorrow. Thanks for being patient.

I really like the way you presented this. Unless Agamemnon has something else in mind, I say that's the way it played so far. I guess that Ferran understands that Gasparo is a very private man. I believe that Ferran knows by now that his name is Gasparo Gritti. If he does know that, that really excites his Curiosity. Meaning a post where Ferran sticks his nose in. :lol:

Just let me know if its appropriate.

Thanks for the kind words, it's what keeps me motivated.

Ferran definitely doesn't know. Gasparo's heritage will only come directly from Agamemnon. Ferran may have heard that he is bastard, though.
