an actual srsbsns post for once !

[pratentious]

Hey, guys! Faith here, that pesky mun behind Arthur Pendragon (pratentious) and River Tam (thoughts), and just recently appointed Odin (asgardswisdom)! There are a lot of awesome things coming up with the end of Arc 1 looming on the horizon, and I'm really excited to be working with you guys (as always, those of you that are familiar with me by now know I can gush for days about how much I love this game whoops).

That said, with the Darkness plot from last month and the Biological Warfare plot that's going down next week, things are picking up heat as we move closer to the foretold war. A lot of people have (ICly and OOCly) been discussing the prospect of facing this huge fight unprepared and unorganised, which is where this post comes in! I wanted to talk to you guys about the idea of finally formalising something like an army within the city's ranks.

Now, Arthur here has been seen running around, trying to gather people together during times of need in the hopes of defending whatever and wherever they can manage. He's been asked a handful of times ICly about whether or not he'll be heading up a militia of sorts, and now that the damage from the Darkness has mostly tided over, I want to hear from you guys first before he can start considering any in-game movements.

How would you feel about Arthur rounding up some of the more battle-oriented minds of Asgard to start recruiting for an official squad of Ass Guardians? This is not something I ever dreamt of organising coming into this game (seriously, you guys overwhelm me with how incredible you are, daily), so anything and everything will be done by your say-so. Arthur might be the Once and Future King, but he's not conquering squat here without permission from his buddies first. :'D

This is 100% open to discussion. The way I see it now, Arthur's plans would be to join rank with the trained military sorts that he's worked with previously or that answer his call to form a body of generals or captains, people that can lead smaller groups of Travellers as they volunteer - and this would be entirely volunteer based. I promise we're not bullying anyone into fighting a war they never asked for, homie don't play that. It would not be a body of government by any means, and they would have no power to dictate the movement or actions of the Travellers. Their one and only function would be to mobilise as a unit whenever the need arises to fight back what foul beasts set upon us by those rude Giants that hate happiness and sunshine and rainbows.

If you guys are okay with this, I'd ideally like to make it happen sometime during or after the BioWarfare plot, because Arthur has been put in charge of distributing that handy dandy immunization and will be once again asking for his able bodied allies to join him in saving the city. If not, I am forever open to alternatives and suggestions, and Arthur will still be doing his own small-scale thing with his friends where it's needed! October will be a busy month for us in preparing for The End of Days (judgment may or may not be nigh), so I'd love to hear what y'all think!

So! Open forum! Any and all feedback, opinions, and cake is welcome and encouraged!

you are so terrible

that was bad and you should feel bad

But anyway YEAH Ezio is rebuilding the Order here, and starting to talk to natives in the hopes of getting allies. Caterina's going around too looking for them. Once he canon updates in October, he'll start training people to be novice Assassins. c:

THOUGHTS/IDEAS Y/N/MERLIN IS A DORK?

[pratentious]

awh

but! lmfaskd I actually know ... jack squat about AC, so I'm just going to sit here and be like FUCKYEAH ASSASSINS and agree that Merlin is a dork.

can you guys, like. go and kill the giants for us cos that'd be awesome. juss' saiyan.

LMAO I actually am... writing up a quick synopsis of AC in my journal since I am going to be asking people if they want to have their characters become babby assassins in the future SO I CAN LINK YOU WHEN IT'S FINISHED?

or i can do a quick canonblind synopsis here if you want

w/e w/e man it doesn't matter to me

BUT here's the thing- Because Ezio is an Assassin and a part of the Order, they are focused on discretion and secrecy. Meaning to be allies Ezio would probably meet Arthur separately from his group he gathers. And also Arthur would have to be silent about their alliance around others (unless he asked if it was okay to tell like idk, two people? Ezio would be okay with that), just because if... he told someone about LOL ASSASSIN BUDDY randomly and that spread, it would be awful and... Ezio would have to go beat Arthur for spilling the beans /CRIES

LIKE I SAID, DISCRETION AND SECRECY ARE A BIG THING

But yeah man, you prove you're an ally, he will be there to save your ass and kill shit for you. c:

[pratentious]

I WOULD LOVE TO READ THIS WHEN IT IS FINISHED. The games always interested me, I just couldn't get my hands on them. |D;;;;

But this sounds fab. As long as they aren't forming some sort of underground ring of crime and murder, I don't think Arthur would have a problem maintaining secrecy. He is a future king and all. He gets it! If Ezio makes it known it's a Big Deal, Arthur will be aces at keeping it on the low. \o/

AFSHGJFASGHJK DULY NOTED, I WILL CONTINUE IN FINISHING IT and you should find them sometime because oh my god, they are so good and oodles of fun.

GOOD I JUST HAVE TO POINT IT OUT TO A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT OF HABIT LMAO because most of the time, people are like YEAH I WANT TO BE ALLIES WITH AN ASSASSIN but they don't realize what their character has to do to make sure the whole thing works out |D;

[thoughts]

I do have an Xbox now. I might have to look into this on top of finding Alan Wake.

lmfaskldjfasdf well. I can't say I've ever been in a position where I got to have secret alliances before BUT I WILL DO MY BEST !!!
