New Songbird threads

[Songbird]

'Allo! So, I'm attempting to get my writing brain back into 'Souls again, and am interested in starting some fresh threads on my two characters! I've listed out a bunch of ideas below of possible things we could do if you're interested with writing with me or my characters! These are just some ideas, so, if you have something else fun in mind, just let me know! ^___^

Please DM me, @ me in #plotting (#hot-plot-spot), or reply here if you're interested in a thread! Thanks! <333

» Kamari Kaiser — OPEN for 1-2 Threads (NON-SL ONLY)
With her children finally shifted and becoming more independent by the day, Kamari has begun to fully fall back into her old duties, meaning extended trips and more dangerous adventures abroad. When not overseeing training for her daughter, Kasumi, the spymaster is out gathering intel, chasing rumors, and dealing with threats to the Thistle Kingdom.

(Show more!)

• Salsola-only — FULL!
  • Prompt Option 1 — A sneaky thief and spy tries their luck at bypassing Salsola's security system and border patrols in/through Amherst by moving along the Docks and shoreline at low tide. Help Kamari accost these trespassers, question their intentions, before ultimately disposing of them (gotta keep some truth to those rumors about Salsola ;O).
    
    
  • Prompt Option 2 — Have Kamari explain Salsola's lore, history, or culture with you! Perhaps you're curious about something you read in Library. Heard a rumor you want to see if you can confirm? Have a question about how Salsola does things or one of their traditions? Don't know who to talk to to draw the eye and interest of a particular Faction onto you? Despite her high rank, Kamari is much more down to earth than her status might often suggest.
    
    
  • Prompt Option 3 — Kamari can be (and has been) pretty elusive, both because of her rank and duties and because of changes in her personal life. Perhaps you don't know who this mysterious "Emissary" or "Spymaster" is? Small and unassuming as she is, perhaps you make a blunder and accidentally mistake her for someone of lower rank or an Outsider? This encounter could be humbling or humorous!
    
    
  • All other — Have a Pledge challenge thread you want to complete (does not have to be Shield-related!)? Need something for ranking up or for a co-rank? I'm here to help! So long as we have a goal to work towards in a thread, I'd also be happy to thread with anyone who just wants a thread with Kamari in general! <333
  
  
• Casa di Cavalieri & Del Cenere Gang —
  • Unfortunately, I've had to lower my character load, so, I can't be as wide-spread as I used to be once upon a time. Thankfully, Kamari is pretty mobile, and I'd LOVE for her to pay a visit to either Wolfville or Charmingtown as her alias, Birch, and have a positive encounter with characters from either of these two packs!
    
    I know she's a spy and from Salsola (so, a huge turn-off for a lot of folks, unfortunately Dx), but! My main goal is just for her is to meet others from other packs and to learn things that each might have to offer for a curious Loner.
    
    For example, DCG's shops that would be beneficial for someone looking for commission works and such (she already knows of them thanks to the 2022 Stockshow, but, that's just an example!). Or just some place to rest and socialize like CdC's pub. She'll likely ask typical Loner questions or questions that are just "general knowledge" at most. If your character wishes to gossip about current events, all the better!
  
  
• All Loner Bands —
  • Similar to CdC and DCG's thread request above, I'm interested in Kamari learning of and interacting with individuals from any of the Loner Bands! She'd be posing as her alias, Birch. I'd prefer neutral or positive encounters, and if it's actually near or at the LB's "base" of operations, the better! I'm looking to have fun with getting back into her spy role again, and for her to gain in-game knowledge of the various LBs in 'Souls!

» Naomi Stryder — CLOSED for Threads
Life has finally started to return to a sense of normalcy since the disbandment of New Caledonia earlier this year. Naomi and her friend, Ronin, have opened up a small shop in Starhaven, and have taken to continuing to do mercenary work on the side to help support the Company live comfortably.

(Show more!)

• Starhaven Encounters —
  The Company's homebase is located within a section of what used to be Mistfell Vale's Winterwynd town. The Company settled in the area in February, and have been steadily repairing and rebuilding what has become known as Starhaven since.
  
  
  • Prompt Option 1 — Starhaven is not really well-known in 'Souls, so, perhaps you're interested in wanting to have your character ICly learn of Starhaven? Have them run into Naomi (with or without Ronin)! They can have an encounter at the Inn, at the leather shop, or perhaps just around Starhaven in general!
    
    
  • Prompt Option 2 — Naomi (and Ronin) trade in leather and leather goods, and do small metal repairs. Perhaps your character is looking to trade, for commission work, or perhaps just curious in general? Naomi can give advice to visit DCG's Charmingtown if your character is interested in more complex metalsmithing or different leatherwork.
    
    
  • Prompt Option 3 — Naomi knows quite a bit about horses, and could tend to some simple TLC to yours for a small fee if you're looking to take a break in Starhaven?
    
    
  • Prompt Option 4 — Naomi knows of all of the packs in the realm, and even knows of the placement of the gambling den, La Estrella Roja. If your character needs advice, directions, or is simply curious to learn more about a rumor, she can tell you what she knows!
    
    
  • Shingetsu Trading Company members-Only — I'm open for any threads or ideas y'all wanna do! From repair work to dealing with random NPCs in Starhaven to travel abroad! <333
  
  
• All other —
  Naomi and Ronin can travel abroad for non-Starhaven encounters too! Ideally, however, they wouldn't go further west than Searsport, further north than the Frost Reaches, further northeast than the Black River Reserve, or further southeast than the Shattered Coast.
  
  
  • Prompt Option 1 — Naomi and Ronin have taken up a mercenary job that has them escorting a rather pompous client when they are accosted by highway bandits. Do your "good deed" for the day and help defend the client! This can be a serious fight or more of a humorous one. The fight can be short and allow for interactions after-the-fact to be the focus of the thread (and resulting in a IC reward), or the fighting can be the sole focus of the thread with only minor interactions after-the-fact (no reward...but, combat experience!).
    
    
  • Prompt Option 2 — A traveling group of merchants and traders have set up a small camp to do business with others. Naomi and Ronin happen to be perusing through the group's wares when an altercation occurs. A precious item has gone missing! Your character, Naomi, and Ronin are suddenly accused of working together, and now have the entire group coming after you! Fight your way out of it, try to persuade the group that you're all innocent, or, perhaps you all get caught together and now need to plot your escape (or all three).
    
    
  • Prompt 3 — Perhaps your character wants to learn of the Shingetsu Trading Company or Starhaven? Maybe they want to learn of NC's disbandment or knew Naomi before she became a Loner? Perhaps you're a member of DCG, CdC, or SL that can catch her up on things or rumors going on in your pack? Want her to know about YOUR Loner Band (she doesn't currently know of any others ;O; Only of the existence of La Estrella Roja)?

[Viktory System]

Wrt prompt option 2 for Kamari, Egregore is curious about the Emissary! They've worked together for some time now, but he doesn't know much about her personally. Maybe their kids could play together and they get a little chatty?

[Jazzy]

I’d love to hop on Prompt 1 with Kamari! Arius is certainly up for teaching some loners a lesson or two on SL. And gives Kamari a chance to see what the fiery guy can do >:)

[Cheshire]

HMMMMMM TOUGH CHOICES

lemme get uhhhhhh *refers back to drive-thru menu* combo prompt 1 and 3 (outside of starhaven) w/ naomi/olivier?

[Songbird]

@ Viktory System; Hmmm...Kasumi is old enough now that she'd probably wouldn't do play dates anymore, but! Maybe Kamari and Egregore could maybe be out on an assassination or other mission and be waiting for their target/client to show up? :O While they're killing time, Egregore could maybe start off by casually ask after the history of the Shield Faction or the IF-SL war or something before they ease off into other things so that they can learn a little more about each other? She knows broken Russian, so, she could maybe work on her Russian while with him pending who is fronting too? :O If all of that's okay with you, I can start this and @ you on Discord unless you really want to start first?

@ Jazzy; Unfortunately, I had someone DM me regarding that same prompt first Dx But! I'd be happy to do something else that gives Arius a way to shine in front of Kamari? :O Maybe she could be doing a solo patrol on the borders in Amherst and she gets ganged up on by a group of troublesome loners? Cue Arius showing up and doing fire magic and someone could scream that, "The rumors are true! It's the fire demon! Run!" As a throw back to the events of his Diablo challenge thread? :O If all of that's okay with you, I can start this and @ you on Discord unless you really want to start first?

@ Cheshire; Oooooo~! I'd be game for that! Would you want it to be less fighting, more after-fight talking so that Olivier can get more info on the Company/Starhaven? :O I can start this and @ you on Discord unless you really want to start first? (also, LMFAO at the drive-thru comment XDDD)

[Larki]

I'd looveee a Kamari/Polliwog thread! Although I'm about to be on vacation June 1-11, so if you'd rather someone who won't be disappearing for a bit on you right after the thread starts I definitely understand. He could talk with her a bit about the Midnight Krewe though, and general La Estrella Roja fun. :3

[Songbird]

That's fine with me! I'm in no rush for a super fast thread or anything! Kamari's been to La Estrella Roja, but not since their new management so I'm definitely game! :O I can start and @ or DM you when it's up so you can reply to it at your convenience, if you want?

[Jazzy]

@ Jazzy; Unfortunately, I had someone DM me regarding that same prompt first Dx  But!  I'd be happy to do something else that gives Arius a way to shine in front of Kamari?  :O  Maybe she could be doing a solo patrol on the borders in Amherst and she gets ganged up on by a group of troublesome loners?  Cue Arius showing up and doing fire magic and someone could scream that, "The rumors are true!  It's the fire demon!  Run!"  As a throw back to the events of his Diablo challenge thread?  :O  If all of that's okay with you, I can start this and @ you on Discord unless you really want to start first?

Hello! Yeah this works fine! Anything that shows his fiery skills is great, and I love this new idea :D

[Cheshire]

Yep, no need to drag out the fight when the real goal is to make friends ;) also I think it makes more sense for you to start this one but I promise to get the next one <3
