well, she's going away, so maybe it isn't a thing

Well, there will be connectivity

Well, I think it's a thing, but it's been a rough few months for me for gaming, so I haven't been as present for all my characters as I'd like. I have ideas, but I'd like to hear what you'd prefer to do, too. I want goals/games to mesh as much as possible!

I have been a little frustrated with Dagmar

I think it shows

She feels stuck

Sorry, Catnik. I honestly have tried to create options. I just don't know what will help her feel unstuck to you

Yeah, I get that. And it's a two-way stuck-ness.

Like... I know, I enjoyed the chimera return, it was fun

Like, she'll feel stuck if she stays home with others going away, but if she goes away she feels like she's going to be stuck in her progress as Storm. Have I got that right?

She feels inconsequential.

Can you put a finger on why? Because she REALLY isn't, but I just haven't been able to play all the scenes my characters should be playing.

(Which is why, no, I don't want any more characters, Mr. D!) 😉

(Oh sure, logic)

Well, she won't be Storm

she won't be a freeholder, or an emissary, or rep RV at Bergen

blink Why won't she?

She isn't really involved in important things. She has babysitting and horses and patrols.

You mean...because Brekke's not going anywhere. That's fair. Hm.

"Well, she won't be Storm" ? I doubt we'd be playing that long a span but eventually

And the alternative is sending her off to Yet Another hold

which just isolates her more

No, I can see more alternatives than that.

Just not sure how to work them into play.

Some of the patrols do lead to rescues and violence , at least I try to make it so

Yup.

I do tend to some times get stuck on the same themes or tropes though. that's one me. I enjoy romances for pcs and NPCs for example, and that just doesn't work for Dagmar, or, obviously, Symon

Well, Dagmar is NOT going to pursue the lupus. No matter how attractive she is.

My brain is currently failing...

Lulu?

Lulu aka Concrete Lulaby

but yes, understood. But it wouldn't be realistic for Lupe NOT to notice the attraction and suggest more backbone.

Or at least, it's in Lupe's character

Lulu is too "young"

And Dagmar absolutely refuses to "take advantage"

Not enough life experience in your opinion

Well, given Dagmar's past?

Makes sense.

True. I would argue she doesn't know Lulu's own back story well enough to make that assumption. Few Garou have happy early lives

But Dagmar doesn't know that and feels how she feels

Dagmar has decided Lulu is off-limits. She doesn't change her mind easily.

Catnik, regarding Dagmar as Storm...you've got me rolling some ideas around in my head, and I think Brekke and Dagmar need to discuss this, but I'm also concerned that you'll feel like the scene is too contrived (and I also think I need to think it through a bit more). Okay if we do a scene with them tonight or tomorrow?

True. And I won't pursue that anymore

I'm sorry, I'm being a diva

I think you're making some good points.

Hey, better you tell me what doesn't work for you than me chasing my tail while you're miserable. Not fair to either of us that

Like, maybe her being a "Gwydion Knight" could be a thing for a while?

There's baggage there that hasn't been poked at

She's been very sheltered at RV

where commoners are in the majority, and being a commoner noble is normal
