*raises hand* I´d opt for later in the story.

Meaning you want Maeve to have slight memory loss when we meet her, right? Kind of like you story “Long Journey Home.” Well, I am fine with either.

No, I meant later. I´d rather prefer her not to have memory loss right away because it would remind me of my story too much and that might influence me.

Great, I like her loosing her memory later on. What do you think Maeve?

No memory loss for me!
I want her to be in character from the start!

Okay, that's settled. So depending of the story, Maeve could loose her memory in the future. This could be of Rumina's doing or she could get hit in the head, perhaps by the mast.

Sorry guys, but you lost me there. Why should Maeve loose her memory?  *thinks about it once more and sees a point in it* Well, yeah, as sort of an "episode" that could be fun ... but in regard to Nili's story I don't know if it really would be so cool to add such a plot here, too.  |

I don't want it to be like Nili's story (I personally did not like how she portrayed Maeve. Even with memory loss, Maeve is not that weak. And how dare Sinbad can decide what Maeve should and should not know.) I was thinking more of a confusion where Rumina may try to take Maeve to join her, and Maeve would fight the crew. The crew would not want to hurt her, but Maeve does not feel the same to them, since she has no memory.

*weighs her head* I see your point, Firouz. But didn't we already consider Rumina trying to draw Bryn back to the dark side or at least use her to set mistrust and discord in the crew? It would be kind of a repetition then... But, ah, think that right now it doesn't matter anyways. After all Maeve is the one to decide on it and it doesn't influence our current plot ... so, think we should keep that option in mind and decide on it at some later point of time.  |

Sure, Rumina will try to take Bryn, but Bryn will refuse, and after a while Rumina will get bored and try to take Maeve instead. This would be easier, because Maeve already does not trust Bryn (later on in the plot, they don't know each other at first).

Okay, I'm catching up with what you guys wrote so far. Nili. You have done a great job in developping how Sinbad is dealing with the loss and his dark side. It has been gradual and logical. I've liked that you avoided to only describe the process, but showed it little by little instead. Of course Doubar had been brilliant in answering your hints. The big brother really seemed the one from the show  The chat between Bryn and Firouz was funny It seems that Tai is developping a more strong and high spirited Bryn. I agree somehow. She originally was far to calm and sweet for a person who had a memory loss. As if she didn't care, and she didn't feel sad as she should have. It was time for her to start questioning. Anyway, at the end of season 2 Bryn was still cool and composed, so if she is changing I think there should be a reason, or a developpement. Now I'll tell what I think from Dermott point of view. Observing how she's acting lately, Derm had the impressions that she felt something for the captain, and that all of a sudden, this arouses her curiosity and jealousy for Maeve . She could have asked this during the whole season but apparently she didn't. Anyway, now she needs to know. Another reason could be that Scratch's hints about her family made Bryn feel uneasy, and she starts to change, because now her inner self is trying to cope to her past which pushes to come out. what do you think? ah. and about the new tread at the tiller I'm quoting this What?  Did I say this? When and where? Poor Dermott, don't put into his little beack word he doesn't think and that he didn't pronounce  Okay, I'll join the conversation tomorrow (it's to late tonight), so Derm will be able to decide by himself what to say. ;D ;D |

@dermott: I am glad you liked my chat with Bryn. Which one do you mean: the one I did about plotting the story or the one in Firouz's cabin?
Yes, I am planning to give Bryn more character. She wants to help Sinbad who has started to feel down and therefore asks what is wrong. She senses he misses someone, perhaps Maeve. She knows Maeve was missing. She didn't want to mention Maeve, because she did not feel it was her place, since she new very little of Maeve. But after a while, and Sinbad had been down for five days according to this story, it kind-of gets on your nerves. Bryn is worried about Sinbad and therefore desperately wants to help, even if it takes mentioning her.
No, Bryn is not jealous of Maeve, at least not now. She is more curious if anything. Her goal is to help Sinbad. If you noticed, I (Bryn) did not mention anything about Maeve in her late-night chat at the tiller. She only mentioned some things that reminded the captain of Maeve. She did not intend that.
I don't remember Scratch hinting about Bryn's family. Sorry, but I kind-of want to forget Season 2.
Sorry, I kind-of made up a scene when Bryn was frustrated with Sinbad for his moping (sometime between the end of Season 2 and the beginning of the rpging). In the scene she tells her frustration to Dermott about Sinbad not eating and not talking much. Dermott just mentions the Sinbad can be such a dumb beast sometimes.
Yes, please join the conversation, and give Bryn more arsenals to throw at Sinbad.

I found Bryn´s development rather logical and I interpreted it in the way that after what happened on Scratche´s island Sinbad has become more thoughtful and seems to fight his own inner struggle. Since the rest of the crew know this is related to Maeve, they don´t adress it, however Bryn didn´t know or maybe she only guesses and therefore she tries to find out. Also, she´s a caring person and therefore I think it´s natural she will try her luck at getting things out of him carefully in an attempt to help.
One little hint though, I´d prefer if you guys could exchange pms when there is stuff like "assuming characters have talked" or when minorly writing them in. This way we avoid confusing and don´t interfere with each other´s ideas of our own characters. Strictly speaking, only Dermott can decide what Dermott would say. The other possibility is that Bryn made up something that Dermott never said for real just to see if the mention of a phrase like "dumb beast" would have an effect on Sinbad.
Therefore guys, always better to check little things like that over pm first. :-)

Sorry about that. But yes, I (Bryn) was thinking about saying, "I guess you are not as dumb as I thought you were." I just decided to add Dermott for the fun of it and added beast because that's what Maeve used to say. So it could have been a coincidence. As for why Dermott popped up, well he was left on deck the whole time. Then finally Bryn's comment that Sinbad had "threatened that before," well that I have no explanation except that Dermott told her there. I will not interfere anymore with what other characters said or did.
