“Nothing short of a spectacular show of genteel manners!” “What’ll it take to convince Gridania that the A11Ys ‘ave learned their lesson?” Everything seemed in order for the A11Ys to be kicked out, until Cravs interjected: A grace period is given to allow a decision to be reached about Bellator, but during that time, other machinations would come into play…įull Logs >HERE< Tagged as ffxiv rp balmung rp ffxiv crystal rp Heartwood Ventures Bellworks Machine LearningĪlthough the A11Ys have stopped harassing Gridania with their “pranks,” Ser Glephort (the butt of the robots’ mischief) has still pressed charges. Otherwise, Bellator cannot be allowed to reside in Gridania. Bellator can stay if its memories of Florus are also encrypted. However, since Zephyr didn’t fall for the bait due to having its memories of Florus encrypted, Gridania comes up with this ultimatum. Once shown A11Ys unpredictable nature and destructive capabilities, the public opinion sways back to Glephort’s side. Predicting that the robots’ true loyalties lie with Florus, he presses a fake dagger against Florus’s neck and baits an attack from Bellator. Sensing that the A11Ys are about to earn Gridania’s goodwill, Glephort puts everything on the line for one last risky gambit. This never was a fair fight, and the games the upper class play are rife with deceit. If this had been a fair fight, you would’ve won, but that’s the kicker. From making it through a course meal, to dancing for the delight of the guests, and finally impressing everyone with their eclectic fashion - the A11Ys show they are, indeed, gentlerobots. Just because they’re built for destruction doesn’t mean it’s the only thing they’re capable of.īellator and Zephyr, patiently taught by Heartwood and Bellworks over several moons, perform spectacularly! They show off learned poise and their mistakes are charming, as opposed to destructive and terrifying. Come in your finest clothes wearing a mask, and prepare yourself for a night of fine dining, dancing, and deliberation! For this party doubles as one last opportunity for the A11Y robots to prove to Gridania that, against their nature, they too can be gentlerobots. The Gala is finally here, and everyone’s invited. Tagged as ffxiv rp balmung rp ffxiv crystal rp Heartwood Ventures Heartwood Plots Bellworks Machine Learning Imposter syndrome is REAL, but it’s never stopped me hahah! But with experience, I’m definitely able to stretch the rules more and more, and overall, I’m super happy with the characters I rp, get to rp with, and the stories ultimately told. It’s wild that I still see myself as a rp sprout despite running 5 arcs and rping a crazy amount. This is me telling you to just go for it!Īnd now for reflection. Once again, go and check out our FC, Heartwood Ventures! Even if you can’t join, know that many of those who participated were members of our crossworld linkshell, Bellworks, or friends of friends! For future campaigns of mine, you don’t necessarily need to be part of the FC to participate and have fun. Take a look!Īm I just parroting myself at this point? Well, a good message can always be repeated! This is Nutley, thanking my players once again for being the heart and soul of this rp arc! Engagement is the lifeblood for any creative endeavor so thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for participating! One thing this arc did in particular is serve as a bridge between two FCs (Heartwood, Bellworks), and it gives me great joy to see these shared stories help create connections. Now, this is all available for you to poke through. Thank you for participating in MACHINE LEARNING (January 2022 - July 2022)! If we count up event logs, we wrote about 300 pages together! This arc was honestly an excuse to subject players to comedic, snowballing scenarios (cough caketrauma cough), but even through this casual play, built up to an exploration of courtly drama and issues present in Gridania. But if you can teach them a thing or two about etiquette in time, perhaps that can be averted! Two Garlean robokids are running amok in Gridania and if nothing’s done, they’ll be kicked out and coldly separated from their guardians. Take the rambunctious heart of a child, shove it into a death machine, and then multiply that by two…What do you get? Such (naughty) devastation, regardless of intention.
