AAA Clockwork

So you guys already probably know or remember that Theodore was once part of the Acidine Guard and had to attend a training school for the guard for many years before he officially became a real guard. There are lots of strict rules about the guard, of course, ??

As a side mission, we rewatched this episode from Mirai Seiki Shakespeare a few months ago and were inspired to come up with this post for these four characters! I didn't bring it up until now because I know everyone's been busy, and I didn't wanna overwhelm you because I know you didn't wanna start any new posts at that time! ( I have so many ideas, hahaha! ^^)

Anyway, the plot of this side quest would go like this:

Highwind Crew was hired by either a school rivaling the Acidine Guard school (perhaps it is one on another island?) or a company in general who wants to know the secrets of the current curriculum at the Acidine Guard school, which is STRICTLY private. 

(If you remember, Theodore had to take a vow not to give away any of what he learned in the Acidine Guard, as any former guards who are found to have blabbed secret information will have their tongues cut out! >< Harsh, I know, but that's the rules of the CW community! It's also why Theodore doesn't really talk about his days in the guard.)

Since Theodore has experience as a guard and knows how to handle the school AND looks fairly younger with his height and everything, he was chosen to help guide the other three (Mullin, Mina, and Willow) through this mission. They could be doing this because the pay is very big or for other important reasons, which we can decide on, but they can also find one of the "Surface Artifacts" here in order to tie this into the main plot! (^_<)

What do you think?? If you're not sure, allow me to show you some of the scenes from the show that inspired us to try this post!!!!!

Since we have a few threads going now (and since I'd like to add in more), I'm gonna set up a master post list right here for all of us to refer back to! Maybe I can find some way to link back to it on the community, so we can find it more easily! (^-^)b I'm also gonna include any solo posts and they're statuses (such as if they're finished, dead, etc.)! Hope this helps!!

And if you see a thread you want to hop into, please go ahead! I think there are two right now that I might have started which have no responses! I'll try to give some details about each post below, too~

Okay, since we haven't written this down somewhere before, in order to keep track of how and when the Highwind crew members met each other, I'm setting this thread up! Let's try and establish how long they've known each other. We might also want to set up an entry on here saying when each thread takes place, since Solid Ground obviously takes place earlier when they all know each other, whereas Silver Spires and Purple Flames obviously takes place much later!

• Mullin and Jephta became friends during their teenage years. They formed a crew together and found "Highwind" when they were both 20, perhaps at the end of the year (let's make up a year) 150 in the world of Tot. <---seriously making up stuff here!

• Earlier the following year (year 151 in Tot), Ura joined them at age 23 as their pilot.

• Willow joined them in the middle of the same year (year 151), at age 20. She started off as a practicing Mage passenger aboard their ship, but became a full-time crew member.

• Avery joined Highwind at the end of the same year (year 151), when he was turning 19. He began work as their merchant crew member.

• Theodore joined around a month or two after Avery, at age 21, as the ship mercenary.

By the time Theodore had joined Highwind, he was 21, Jephta was 21, Mullin was 21, Willow was 20, Avery was 19, Ura was 24.

Mina joins them perhaps two years later? (Year 153 in Tot?) Let's assume that by the time Silver Spires and What We Do For Fun takes place, Mina has already been with the crew at least half a year to a year. So she is probably comfortable with all the crew members by that point! (^-^) And she is a full blown crew member herself!

What do you guys think? And we can mention how they met another time or in the comments!

First off....guys, do you see the buttons at the top of this page for this community? The ones that say "Post," "Leave," and "Track?"

 I recommend hitting the Track button. That way you can get a notification any time somebody makes a new post to this community. You already get the notifications when somebody replies to your comments, but this way it's nice because you don't have to keep checking back at the community to see if anything has been done. You will get an email, instead! ^^

I wanted to also mention.......what do you guys think of that main plot idea Jenny and I were talking about ( here )?

And finally....

I was thinking we could do posts that specialize certain characters at some point. That sounds stupid, hahaha, so I'll explain!

For instance, Alex's character, Mullin, was adopted into a rich family. Alex was thinking of having a side adventure/post for him, in which he comes across his real family or looks for them.

For me, I was thinking it would be fun if there was some mission where Highwind was asked to rescue a kid from an orphanage for a client. Maybe the kid doesn't belong there or it's simply just another job that they were hired for. But I thought it would be funny if Willow and Theodore were the two sent on the mission there to sneak in because out of the whole crew, they could most easily pass for kids. ^^;;;

And those are some ideas! But I think it would be fun to do this kind of post for all our characters--something that fits each of their personalities or attitudes. And the rest of us can support the post in some way!

Sorry I didn't just mention this again in the Chatroll! But I think it disappeared last time! ^^;;; GOMEN! m(_ _)m

Hey guys! Sorry to write another entry so soon after the Surface Trip one, but Jenny actually gave me an idea with one of her comments to that post!

You know how Carina had brought up the idea of a main sort of plot we could focus on getting the crew in? Like....for instance, what is the purpose of the crew or where they are headed? Sorry if that's worded horribly! (>.<) Well, Jenny had suggested for the Surface Trip, what if the crew had gone there looking for a specific substance or rare artifact? Even if they crash, they can still search for that....But the point is, what if the main plot for the crew has to do with them looking for some kind of rare artifacts that will lead them to some sort of Atlantis under the water or in the Sky or on the Surface, or something?

Think....Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time! xDDDD Like, you have to collect all the Spiritual Stones (Fire, Water, and Forest) in order to gain access to the hidden Sacred Chamber. HAHAHA! I sound like a true geeky face. :P But it might be cool if the crew came across some kind of legend about a hidden city somewhere. Maybe the legend is actually true, and it says they need to collect these certain substances or artifacts or something. I guess if it's something we really like, we could definitely work out all the little things to make it happen! (^__^) What do you think?

I think either way, the Surface trip can go ahead--everyone seems to approve! We can just consider adding this in, if we like it enough!

FINALLY!!! I actually originally intended to make this entry to share some screenshots I took from Daiji na Koto. There are quite a few that look steampunk for our characters, so I decided to share those in case you want to use them for signatures! If you want me to try making one for you, let me know, too! I'm not very good (my graphics all seem to go fuzzy ;____;), but I definitely don't mind! Here's the Chiaki one I just made:

And the rest of the screencaps to use are under the cut! Well.....after all that, ENJOY!!!! (^______^)
