Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill This Thread X: The Sixth 24-Hour Thread

That's odd. Nothing's showing up for me in Peebz' post.

very odd ... do you have anti Smashing Pumpkins software installed?

Don't answer that. let me kill this thread. It's my birthday.

There is Rookery party every Christmas.

Now, should Jorj Zeddle join the LMB or just be an ally? The Boyfriend does not wish to join LW. As for Jorj Zeddle, he is the Durlan ambassador to Legion World. Chameleon Ambassador doesn't work for me.

Well, he can be an ally now and decide later on if he will become a full member.

I kind of like the idea of Rocky dating someone who's not an LMBer. Kind of your Shvaughn Erin?

The connections could be useful as well. And Jorj could provide an outsider's perspective on LMB shenanigans.

That could work. They both represent their worlds on LW, but Rocky was sent with specific instructions to join the LMB as well as represent the Pyngwyny. Jorj was sent a purely diplomatic mission. Yes, I think I like that.

Ah, brainstorming!

Any plans to let Jorj meet Paladin and compare notes on Rocky? Ooh, or a double date with IB and Blaze!

All possibilities.

Rocky's family, of course would have no issue. He can marry another male or someone of another species, but cannot marry someone without super-Powers of sone sort. I'm guessing there wouldn't be a problem from the Durlans (and I would hate to write that).

One good thing about fictional alien cultures, we can be very imaginative in how we write them.

Of course, the requirement for his romantic partner to have powers is what led to Rocky's breakup with Lardy.

Yeah, and Rocky sprang that one on me without a heads-up! He told me it was something he did spontaneously to shake things up a bit. I honestly thought it was temporary and that they would get back together when Lardy regained his powers. But THEN the stuff with Tempest heated up, and Rocky's real-life BF/inspiration for Jorj started to enter the picture and probably subliminally influenced him to keep his character's options open.

However, I still think deep down Rocky didn't feel our characters were compatible for a longterm relationship, though he might never admit it. Personally, I'm a bit curious whether they'd still be together if not for those unexpected twists...

Now THIS is going to be an interesting discussion!

The characters reached their natural conclusion. I sent Lardy a PM after it happened, apologizing if I caught him unawares.

I remember the PM. I suppose, in a way, it's fitting that things ended in an unplanned manner because it certainly began that way. As Lardy was going through one of his most tumultuous periods, he and Rocky became very close friends. As I saw how well they were bonding, it occurred to me that maybe it could grow into a relationship. So, without ever PMing or planning anything behind the scenes, I had Lardy start to flirt a little and hint he was interested. And at the climax of Thyme Crime, I had Lardy declare his feelings. Without missing a beat, Rocky had his character reciprocate, all without any OOC discussion.

I am and was pretty proud of how all that came off on many levels. I'd long thought that maybe Lardy, as I've presented him, was probably bisexual, and actually having the opportunity to work with another poster to present this was a special moment for me as a storyteller. The way everything worked out organically to get them there was really nice.

It should be pointed out that at the time of the break-up Lardy had been possessed for a prolonged period by his ancestor/previous incarnation "Lardi" to get to the bottom of some threat. That ended when a mysterious assailant (who turned out to be the Red Bee) shot Lardi in the head, which both ended the possession and cost Lardy his powers for quite a while.

I'll admit that I had doubts as to how long they'd be together. I think I even spelled out my doubts in-character by having my character ask Rocky if the darkness within Lardy was something that might be too much for him. Certainly, my character was as dark as Rocky's was light. But any partner would have issues with one as messed up as Lardy was back then!

Lardy finally made peace with nearly all of his demons during "Lord of the Oval", and as I recall, he and Lardy made peace with each other as well.

Yes, I recall quite a few scenes in Lord of the Oval showing how Rocky and Lardy still saw each other as close friends, and still cared for each other at the end. They were very well-done.

There was mean sword fight between Peebz and Lardy too. "hiyah"

Oh dear. Was that during the time Lardy and Rocky were an item?

During the whole "Lardi" thing, Rocky pretty much waited on the sidelines. I imagine he was unsure about things and then the power thing clinched it. They reconciled as good friends long ago.

As I've said before, there were a few moments in LOTO when I thought there might be something between Rocky and Peebz, but that never happened.

Rocky and Peebz moments in LOTO? I should reread carefully and find them!

It wasn't anything overt. There were just a few moments where there was a little tension between them that could have gone somewhere.

Probably during Book 1, when the whole Fellowship was still together.

Yeah. I had a lot of drama going on in RL during Book Two, so I wasn't as active at that point as I wanted to be.

You still had some great moments there, though. You and Tempest. I, on the other hand, didn't really contribute as much until the end of Book 2 and the whole of Book 3.
