hi jenn! some of this is reiteration but i appreciate making it public because its valuable. bullet points 🔫☝️
- totally get this abt the navarch and archie, am trying to think exactly how to thread the needle IC. its possible that i might start posting my archie toplevels as a general summary of volk's concern rather than him poking in fascination at the fucked up owl for ages and ages.
- similarly, his 41 questions are all nitpick nonsense and im comfortable with just saying "he got an answer and it begrudgingly satisfied him" with no further interaction with the list or detailing
- i totally am here for this ethos of the game and although volk feels like he's trying to kick it to pieces, it's how he's reacting to being extremely offended that he's here lol. if he was a warden he'd be more or less just as ferocious defending his interests from the other side
- mr volkhov is a person who uses his insanely high standards and ability to browbeat people in conversation as a weapon, and to me its just kind of an interesting kind of terrible and shitty person to be, but it sounds like it IS having a splash effect ooc. i need to brainstorm about how to more or less put a cushion between his ic knife-throwing practice and actual ooc people. in completely practical terms it is something i WANT to do but don't know how to rig up yet.
- how do i do this. hm. i'll get back to you on what i can make work. maybe i will start putting [heres why hes wrong] flags in my narration, or like ... hm
- i like that he's just a mean ball of spikes that could be in a utopia and still think he's living in hell because his brain is broken. i dont want to soften him....... i intend strongly to either cushion between IC and OOC or switch him out (which sounds like a PA threat but playing him is less important to me emotionally than not breaking the game that my friends made, i will not feel bad if that is how i end up doing this)
-howww do i do thisssssssss hm. problem problem problem solve... im going to think and circle back, thank you for your thoughtful response tho
