Roleplaying!

[Laura Mabee]

Just out of curiosity, there has been three pages and very little roleplay, I'm just wondering if this is going to take off or not?

I was thinking the same. I mean this is like the second time we had to do the "Hello?" thing. I'm willing to go on. But not everybody seems interested anymore, because nobody is posting.

We tried a bit of it and it didn't work, really.

Close Down?

Maybe we could do it differently. Instead of each person playing a character, we'd do it like: "Nikolai wakes up one morning, and looks out the window at the beautiful sky..." then the next person carries on the story.

Thats a good idea Clock, I like it!

I'm not sure. It's a good idea, but I like the roleplaying with characters. But since that is not working out, maybe we could try your idea.

Maybe we could use a little context, too? I mean, instead of just saying where they are, we could use a photo as the initial situation.

Like, "photos", then, time, place, season and activity. I think that this way would give a good beginning to those who don't know the Romanov too well and would prevent people from making really stupid or off-subject remarks.

I think I'm open-minded, but the trouble with roleplaying is that there's always somebody at some point whose remark will completely change the turn of the conversation, and in a bad way.

Other way, I think that Clock's idea is woth trying. Who starts?

I'm not the world's best writer, but I'll give it a shot. How about this? The IF is out picking flowers!

-----
Aleksandra bends down, and picks a medium sized blue flower. She stands back up to her full height, and smells it. With Aleksey's illness, it isn't very often she gets to enjoy simple pleasures like smelling flowers. Aleksandra then looks up, and sees her daughters. Anastasia is in a tree, as usual, and is ready to drop what looks like a small rock on the head of her unsuspecting sister, Maria, who is right below her...

Someone else's turn! (BTW, I know Maria is in the picture I posted above. That's just the "context" picture.)

There...now it begins to be interesting! So here I'll go:

*Not far away from there, Tatiana and Olga are walking, bending, and picking tons of daisies. Tatiana happens to get up, and while looking at the sky, notice her smallest sister hanging up in the tree.

Smilling, she pokes Olga and waves her hand to show her the way to look. Both girls giggles and whisper together, leaning their faces toward each other.

Aleksandra hears that and marvel at the sight of her almost grown-ups daughters standing happy in the grass and sun, the loads of flowers they're still holding matching their pale dresses. And at this precise moment, she cannot help to feel bless to have been given 4 beautiful, healthy daughters. Oh, couldn't they stay young forever! *

There. I feel like I could write for hours, I like the "context" photo idea ( of course   ), but I can't because I'm in school! So next's turn!

*Just a little interruption* Thanks for brainstorming and saving the thread, guys!  

[Sophia_Skymind]

Yes, thanks that it hasn't been closed evrybody!

I still have thousand of "context" idea, I was thinking about it in the train yesterday, but I'll let sombody else continue: it'll be more interesting if a lot of people take part in this!
