The Vassal Academy OOC Casting call

[Veroe]

Well I finally got up that Michael introductory post. Alot of the stuff I wanted to do I decided it was wiser not to do and some I decided to hold off until later. Mostly I just wanted to help set the stage for some of the political tension.

Let me know if you need me to edit it you guys, ok?

 

[yeishia]

Oh my goodness your post is wonderful Veroe thank you so much

 

[Veroe]

I think it best to hold off the resolution of Diane's bet until a little bit later. I think it should be a big event. A statement. A declaration to the BDSM world at large that the Vassal Academy does superior work to anything they can do. And that needs the proper set up and a proper platform to accomplish.

 

[yeishia]

I agree Veroe but frankly would like to turn the page on that one soon.

Could you post a bit of a Bio for your Master Michael so we get a gist of what he looks like please?

I am posting for Jeannette now but will go back and fill in the blanks once you have ... Thanks.

 

[Veroe]

Sure let me look for a pic of him and try and get my head around a bio for him.

Lots of ideas on his history now I need to string it together cohesively for you.

You didn't give any feed back on my last Jeannette post Veroe so I hope that I am on the right track with both of your creations.

What is Micheal's eye color?

You got your post in just ahead of mine or Jeannette would have been putting butt plugs in Diane and Chris. .

*Giggles* I have changed him from vibrant to brooding .

 

[MsAphrodite]

I posted ...hope I didn't miss the boat!

Depending on how long it takes Veroe to get up Michael's response, I might edit out Rebecca's interaction with Michael and head her off to ballet.

I'll see how it plays out time wise.

As for the bet it doesn't involve my char so I don't really care, now or later sounds good Yesh.

One of the reasons why I chose a pic of this model was his stark blue eyes and how it vibrantly contrasts with his jet black hair color. An intriguing mix I think....and there I went and used a black and white photo of him dummy

I'm gonna try and work on my Chris and Cathy post next, and then I'll try and work on a response for Michael. Well first I'm gonna finish up his bio tonight.

I don't mind what you did in your jeannette post, Yeishia, I think I can work with it, and it works out fairly well with what I wanted Michael and Jeannette's relationship to be like initially.

Michael's Bio

(Tenative Bio: subject to discussion and revision)

http://www.contactmusic.com/pics/ld/prince_of_persia_premiere_100510/david_gandy_2838629.jpg

Height:6 foot 4 inches
Weight: (Do I really have to figure out how much he weighs guys? I don't know he weighs the average weight for a man of his height and build. How's that?)
Eye color: Vivid blue
Hair: Jet black and thick with a thin well groomed goatee.

Bio: Michael was born and raised at the farm. His mother was a slave and his father was a prominent master named Anthony. Life on the farm was pretty much all Michael knew. Michael never knew his mother. That is not to say he never met her or interacted with her, but to say he was raised solely by his father. From childhood Anthony groomed him to be a dominant.

Michael's specialization, his obsession some would say, is self-control. Usually pertaining to the control of his own orgasms. He has explored so many techniques from around the world from self-hypnosis to tantric sex.

Micheal values his independence. His father taught him A master forged his own trail. If he follows another, he is no better than a slave. Which is why he is one of the most ardent members of the council at the farm that has not and never intends to ally himself with Estevan or Devon's philosophy. Micheal follows no one but himself.

Relationship with Devon: Anthony's role at the farm was mentoring candidates for masters. Devon and Dominique was among the last candidates he mentored before retiring to fight a losing battle against cancer. So between Michael and Devon there's the fellowship of a shared lineage however that's mollified by Michael's wariness over how much charisma and influence he has. Afterall his father, Master Anthony, always said a master who did not forge his own path was no better than a slave. Devon lives by that creed, and Michael respects that, but he is wary of joining Devon's faction for the same reason.

Relationship with Jeannette: He is astonished, intrigued, and baffled by Jeannette. Astonished by the level of skill and commitment she displays as a slave. Intrigued and baffled both by her because there was a time she escaped the farm but came back-not back to the farm-but returned to Devon-Why?

Michael doesn't understand love. He understands need, but not love. Growing up at the farm gave him no frame of reference for love. He regards the concept as the subject of fairy tales, but he recognizes that Jeannette and Devon have an unspoken bond beyond that of master and slave. A bond between them he can not fully understand. So Michael is constantly watching Jeannette and Devon both trying to assertain what exactly it is between them. He knows it unnerves her and probably Devon too, but that doesn't really change the matter.

Relationship with Dominique and Rebecca and Thomas: Colleagues, perhaps if you strained the meaning of the word a little you could say he was a friend, but Michael has always been a loner, too independent, an outsider too distant to really bond with his peers.

Imagine my relief.

Thanks for the bio.

Oh and Jeannette did initially come back to Devon...and the Farm. That was established when we started Vassal and in my last post I wrote that she was debriefed by the Dungeon Master. ( who apparently likes playing cat and mouse with her under Devon's nose.lol I will talk this over with Tio when he gets back and may fine tune this once i have his input....was MSA's idea)

We doooo like Micheal's eyes. * drools*

I didn't mean to infer that she didn't return to the farm. I just meant that since she came back voluntarily there's been the strengthening of a subtle bond between Jeannette and Devon that Michael has picked up on but can not comprehend at this point.

Micheal's journey will be that of a loner getting involved and invested in a team.

Question Yeishia: How do you want to play out the relationship between the dungeonmaster and Jeannette? Do you want one of the masters to find out what's going on between them or are you saving it for plot events later on?

 

[MsAphrodite]

Hi all it seems like the thread is stalled again and I would like to get on with my scene with Diane while every one is busy with what has snagged them in the real world or caught their fancy ion Lit. With this in mind I have spoken with Yesh to do a bit of editing to free up Diane. Thanks for your understanding I am raring to go... it seems my char always gets trapped in a dead scene so forgive my pushiness...Murphy's law I guess

Hi Veroe, I am unsure, sometimes I feel that I am playing in a vacuum I ask for feed in and rarely get any so I really do appreciate your query.

I had already done my post but you posted before I could and so I scrapped my post and the resulting one is what I came up with. *blushes* I have no idea where the concept came from , it must have been milling around in my brain I guess.

I am thinking once I find out who is actually going to be the brain behind our Dungeon Master I can run it buy him. I know it was suggested that Tio run him when necessary due to his ease with whips . is this still the case?

Anyway in the post above I did ask your opinion Veroe and would very much appreciate it. I am thinking that he may have cat-ed and mouse-d Jeannette at the farm …taunting Devon who wasn’t in a position to say anything…maybe this is a strategy to taunt Devon or just his own private way of having fun?

I guess I hadn’t really thought it through beyond leaving the cat and mouse hint.

I was hoping someone would perhaps run with it. I cannot run it by Tio as he isn’t back for a few days.

So what do you think???

I know Rebecca noticed but lol she didn’t seem inclined to pass on the info lol

Should another Master have seen what happened???

I do know Devon would notice the marks as would Master Thomas would they pass it off as rough after hours use from the orgy of the night before or probe more?

I do believe it might make for something interesting.

I guess every now and then I wasn’t to push Jeannette and make her less one dimensional. I pushed her in the last bunch of scenes soo…

Any way plot suggestions would be most welcome.

Or just throw me a curve ball and I shall run with it.

MSA I will make the adjustments if Veroe or Rider do not post soon and should have you up and running by the end of the day.



P.S. Veroe I adore Michael and your ideas for him...his eyes *swoon*

 

[Cheska]

I'm just waiting for the 10:30am to arrive.. Xaviera would get there about 15min early.

if someone can drop a cue.

Hi Cheska I am thinking it will be a while yet as Tio isn't back from vacation till the 8th I think and has a scene with Dominique first.

Your scene with him comes at the beginning of the second half of the morning and we haven't even begun the first half yet lol

I'll let you know when we get close.

Sorry I got snagged on my chris and Cathy post. The difficulty was getting it started I've been trying to start it off when Chris wakes up, but I think it'll be easier to just go and start it off where Jeannette left them before coming back and then connect it to the conversation between them I already had in my head. So in other words now I think I got this cracked.

So nose to the grindstone time, and I'll get it posted as soon as I'm done.

Do we wish someone to play the dungeon-master? Or do you want someone to handle his NPC?

If the answer is we want Tio to handle him as a NPC, we shouldn't decide anything until he returns and we can confer with him about it.

That said I think the situation is rife with possibilities. He's like a fox in the hen-house right now, and getting rid of him may take some doing.

Let me put my thinking hat on about it, Yeishia.

I think you need to concentrate on Chris right now ...it makes logical sense to do so from when he awakens perhaps glossing over everything till the breakfast scene. If Cathy is a hold up for you I can go back and edit that she shadow Jeaneatte .

I don't want an npc to hold up your posting Veroe especially as she isn't involved in the plot right now, she is on hold until we give her a scene.

As for the dungeon Master I have no wish to play him period.!!!!!!

I did do it this time simply because he was in direct interaction with my char. I will not play him in interactions with another persons char. I am not good with npc's

if you or Tio doesn't play him it will be up to each individual to play him as they see fit.

As I got no feed in caN I assume you didn't like how I handled it with Him and Jeaneatte? Prehaps you would be more comfortable giving me feedback in a PM?

You also didn't say what you thought about another staff member witnessing what happened. So I am guessing I shall receive a curve ball or the scene will simply be glossed over or I maybe can develope their relationship to fill in dead zones when I have nothing better to write hehehe.

Either I can work with. I am simply trying to provide some stuff for people to work with if no one bites...lol ...what more can. I do.

If your stuck on Chris move on to Michael maybe.

In any event I shall free Diane so that MSA can opt out of the breakfast scene and head to class with Diane. I don't want her to up and leave as we are short on female writers especially till we get Cheska integrated into the story I had no idea it would take this long,

I have sent a PM to Rider begging him to get a post up to.


On the flip side...

I also do not mind taking a break my real life work wise is extremely busy I got up super early to catch up as I am doing this morning.

I was hoping to get moving in Vassal again but and equally happy to let it stay stalled if that's better for every one.

I want my cast members happy.

I trust you 100% Veroe with regards to Vassal. I know whatever you write will be well worth the wait ... it always is

Now you and I are no longer writing LP I hope that frees up your time a little for this endeavor a little more. :

 

[yeishia]

Lord was I rambling this morning...

 

[MsAphrodite]

Veroe

Now that Diane is freed up for my scene I did a bit of back reading ...i will need to make a major edit in order to exit gracefully.

Would you be up to a fast couple of sentences to answer the question Rebecca and Dom posed after which my char can get up and leave..you can stay and chat with Dom or whatever you wish.

Let me know or I will PM you maybe.

Thanks.

 

[Veroe]

I have no problem working out a quick Michael post since my Chris and Cathy one is taking more time than I expected. So no worries, MsA.

So yeah I'll move on to Micheal and get this thread back on the move.

Yeishia don't edit Cathy out of your jeannette posts. The meat of my post is the conversation she and Chris have that will hopefully help her move forward in her storyline in concerns to Devon and David as well as the bet storyline with Diane.

Ok so the DM (that's what we'll call him for short, agreed?) As for why I didn't give you feedback...I'd like to hear what the others think on him but here's my thoughts.

I have no problem with how you wrote the interaction between him and Jeannette. You played him a tad different, a bit more outwardly aggressive than quietly menacing as I had him when I introduced him and Michael. But the situation called for that so no worries, and I don't own the character anyway. Clearly we can surmise that this guy has two faces one he shows to his peers and another he shows to a very select few, unfortunately Jeannette just happens to be one of those unlucky few.

But as far as what my thinking hat come up with I think we can use him if we play our cards right as a threat to the functioning of the Vassal Academy, and to the well being of Jeannette personally as well as the other slaves. What will happen if one...say Chris or Diane or Xaviera needs to be punished and has to visit him in the dungeon for it. Cringes....that could be very epically bad.

So let's do it!.

 

[Veroe]

Got the michael post up, I intended a quick short post, but kinda got in a good groove there. So hooray.

 

[yeishia]

Loved your thoughts and the post Veroe, thank you.

Just remember that Tio/Devon will probably not be back for breakfast unless we can drag it out a bit maybe between Micheal and Dom... as I am thinking Thomas and Rebecca will be heading off.
