tbh io isn't going to know what to do.

Sybil is the one who's reporting back on the sailors. What's up? :3

my bad, i meant whoever the sailor is that io & andromeda are going to spot. c:

actually, instead of pming everyone, i'm just going to post it here. c:

so i had an idea with io going with one of the other mermaids (soren and kai in this case. also anyone else who wants to tag along.) and spotting the sailors/shipwreck and attempting to investigate. my idea was as they spot the sailors, one of the other mermaids gets too close, so one of the sailors tries to snatch at them, maybe gets ahold of them with a net or something, and io steps in.

this even was meant specifically for development of io, so that she can prove to the other mermaids who doubt her that she's really trying her hardest to keep her tribe safe and that she has no ill intent. maybe so she can sway the views of the others. this would be especially helpful if there was someone with them (like sybil) who don't necessarily dislike her, but definitely have their own views on the situation and don't think that io is the best fit for alpha.

in the attempt to help the other mermaid (which i am hoping will go successfully) io gets injured but insists that the others go back to the camp. that way she can either be helped by the oracle (kai) or one of the sailors (the captain or anyone else willing). that way we can also breach the relationship between the mermaids and the sailors and, like i said above, can prove that io does not have ill intent. she truly is out doing her best for the rest of the tribe.

the cap'n and i have discussed what would happen if he were there to witness it, so i was hoping that there could be maybe a small group of sailors? if anyone is down to play victim or if anyone wants to assist in this plan, i'd be happy to listen to suggestions. c: it's just a small thing i discussed with haemon, and i want to put it into action.

any ideas? thoughts? not a good idea?

[Roseshine12]

To be honest, I think it's a little early to make friends with the humans and such so if anyone were to help her, it'd likely be Kai (and maybe Marcus, the medic on the ship). It's also a little early to get rid of the drama with everyone towards Io and might take the fun out of things with Io later on. HOWEVER, in the later bits of the roleplay, this could definitely be a plot thing but in the end despite my opinion, it's up to Haemon as to whether this should follow through or not.

ANDRO I FEEL SO BAD

[bohdi]

@kartharon i like your idea, it's a good story line , but maybe it is too early for them to interact on that level?
maybe save the idea for a later event?

[Ghostarriver]

The idea is pretty awesome @kartharon but perhaps when we want to create tension later on we can use it?

[kartharon]

i appreciate your guys' input. i'll definitely keep it in mind, and i will wait a while before i put it into action. c:

@roseshine you make a good point, we should definitely allow time for the drama to develop with io as alpha before i try to initiate anything that would take away from the original conflict i wanted. & i have to agree, it's too early to make buddy-buddy with the humans.

it is much too early to trigger something like that.

we can initiate it later, whenever you guys want. io right now is going to be extremely tense about the introduction of the humans, she will avoid them at all costs and will expect the tribe to do the same. she's going to be a little bit of an *ss about the rules and strictly enforce them. especially with no fish around and the she'll just see the humans as a threat to their existence. c:

also...long post is long. lolololol oops
