General plotting post

[gold_drum]

Mods are busy I guess, so this is a plotting post for everyone to talk about their future plans/ideas/plots/etc!

For my part, Gold's going to be taking short part-time jobs in the future, starting with an upcoming post at the cafe in Turnbloom City's Pokemon Center, featuring Trip and Mr. Larson! Since it's a three-person post, it's hard to talk about over PMs, so we can talk about the specifics of how we're going to do that here.

(Also, if anybody's got ideas for other part-time jobs for Gold, let me know!)

I've never been very good at intros, so I think it'd be best if someone else started, maybe you could! ^^ I'm also a liiiittle burnt-out on roleplaying lately (probably not the fault of rp itself, the game is fun and I love who I'm playing with, work just has me tired)... it looks like it'll improve though, since I was given more days off this week than the last, so if it contiues like this/goes back to my old schedule, I should have more energy again! ^^

Then again, maybe it's best I start so Gold could show up after? It might be a good thing, too, since I did actually need to inform other folks that he'd gotten work done! That way I can have a closed prompt/thread for Larson and Gold and open ones and ones closed to those who hired him earlier. ^^ Thanks for the idea!

Since Trip started working before Gold, I guess it'd make sense if you made the post. Though there's always also the option that Larson, as the boss, posted it? But I wouldn't mind posting it either! I just need to figure out what kind of a post it would be, what kinds of prompts, etc. Should there be one prompt for Trip and another for Gold, or how should it work? I'm utterly new to rp, after all, so I don't know what'd be the best way ^^;

If either of you prefer it I don't mind starting up the post (or make a thread on a post???) for the cafe shenanigans time with Larson! Although it will have to be after my shift today which is later tonight for me. (for reference it's 11 AM CST here)!

[gold_drum]

There's no real hurry to make it or anything! But I guess it'd work best if Larson was the post starter, since he's the cafe owner and all.

What kinds of prompts, though? Something a general "if you're in the Pokemon Center today, you might see this" sort of thing? Gold would be cheerfully taking orders with a well-practiced customer service smile, probably.

Makes sense, thank you!

Yes, prompts like what you see in the event posts, so different people can interact with different ones.
One prompts can be closed to just staff (so only for Gold, Larson, and Trip) and other prompts can be open to whoever interacts with them as customers (or otherwise). ^^

[gold_drum]

Okay! So does the person who posts it usually decide the prompts on their own even if it's a multi-person post?

[serperiority]

Yup! And sometimes offers a wildcard/make-up-your-own prompt option. ^^

[gold_drum]

I see! I guess assumed it'd be something the post participants would talk over as a team and workshop, since it seems like a lot of pressure on the post creator to decide on all of it on their own.

Anyway, a wildcard option sounds good to me!

[ulternnpc]

Uwaah I'm so sorry for the late response you two! I'll work on the cafe post sometime today since it's my day off 😊

So taking in what has been talked about, I'll be making a prompt for cafe staff only, general cafe shenanigans and wildcard option(s) right?

[gold_drum]

Yeah, sounds good to me^^
