plotting post!

Hi, everyone! Varali here, your resident Kodachi-mun, with a plotting post. :3 As some of you may or may not know, she's got a radio drama in the works, and the gist of the plot is that a prosperous kingdom is shaken when the king's brother is murdered.

How I plan to go about it is to open up a google document and let everyone type up their lines according to how they want their characters to interpret the radio drama's characters. (Characterception!) I'll provide an outline and the characters can fill in the blanks as they want. :) I'm thinking we can have four short acts. First act is the introduction of the characters. Second would be confrontations between them. Third would be more confrontations. Fourth would be climax and resolution.

Here's a list of the characters of the radio drama (and the characters playing them):
The Narrator - Ragna [[personal profile] rebellions]
The person narrating stuff.

The King - Kuzan [[personal profile] lazyjustice]
Kind and benevolent king. Well respected by his subjects.

The King's Brother - Brady [[personal profile] cry_brady]
Guy who gets murdered. Whoops.

The Princess - Musa [[personal profile] melodyssong]
Princess that's genteel on the outside, steely on the inside. Gentle backbone of the kingdom.

The Knight - Ringabel [[personal profile] knightlydiary]
Flowery knight courting the princess. Comedy relief. Means well but is often in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The Squire - Yasaburo [[personal profile] buttwarmed]
Uppity squire who doesn't want to be serving the knight. Comes from a line of nobles.

The Foreign Dignitary/Arsonist - Motochika [[personal profile] seadevil]
Foreign dignitary betrothed to the princess. Known arsonist. Seductive and sinister.

The General of the Kingdom's Forces/Military Tactician - Dust [[personal profile] mithrarin]
Stern general who leads the kingdom's forces. Might of the kingdom. Feared by all.

The Mermaid/Oracle - Selphie [[personal profile] booyaka_boom]
Mermaid washed ashore who talks about portents. Released into the sea after her role.

The Protagonist/Very Observant Librarian - Ikki [[personal profile] uccellodifuoco]
Protagonist that works as a librarian in the castle library. Very observant. Watches all of the characters.
Oh, and who's the murderer, you ask? Well, I'm going to hit up RNG and only the character selected to be the murderer will know. Everyone else in the character roster will be just as perplexed as the rest of us. ;) (Think Mafia!)

I know that October is a very busy month, so we can just take our time writing out whatever happens. I'll compile everything and post it for us whenever we're ready. :)

Also, if anyone has suggestions, hit me up!

Kuzan can be the king so long as he's not required to do overmuch.

Dust would never sign up for the General himself, but I'm gonna see if Musa can talk him into it...
