I wannaaaa swiiiiiing from the chandeliiiieeeeeeer!
*cough*
Sholua was fun to read. And was great to play with you again, El Presidente.
How cruel was Sholua planning on being to Manny with taking advantage of his money/ship/kind-hearted soul?
What made her actually like Manny to end up as a couple?

The cruelty totally depended on how the Sholua/Cartess thing worked out. As it did work out, she stopped taking advantage and started helping. However if Cartess thing had failed I was aiming at the Dark Side route and total Manny exploitation.
She decided to stop running. Manny is cute. Clueless, but cute and so good natured.

Awww! I very much enjoyed Manny and Sholua. They were a lot of fun (Rawrbacca!), and also brought some good things out of each other in scenes!
With her having turned out light side, what are, like, the next three steps for her? She's going to catch up on Jedi stuff, yeah? What does that mean for who she is? Sorry, it's a bit of a weird question, so I say just go with it!

In my head right now . . . she's going Light Side, she's staying part of Cartess' group but she's never going to be a Jedi. In her mind the Order is gone, they need to move on and she's not all about Light. She flirted with the dark in the ten years of hiding, it doesn't leave you alone that easily. So, I don't want to evoke 'Grey Jedi' with all it's Edgelord baggage, but she's about balancing the Force. If that means she gets to continue pole dancing then good news for everyone!
So, train with Cartess.
Fight the Empire.
Get Manny to cook something other than eggs.

My end game goal = culinary school?

At least learn how to make souffles! They don't taste of egg . . . .

Branching from my post at Dhelih, seems like an oversight that Soleene didn't drop by the Cave more and potentially run into Sholua before the mixer. I'm imagining that Soleene and Sholua could have picked brains on the industry somewhat if they had time, even if Sholua is the performer and Soleene was typically the one who is watching the door.
Kinda curious what churned the concept!

Ah, never got to met. She'll forever only be known as one of Manny's Many Girlfriends!
Enjoyed the Jedi dynamic though!

Hmm us balance focused force users gotta come up with a name for ourselves!
Shoula was good fun to read! I wish we'd crossed paths a little more but here's to the future!

Thanks so much for that early buddying up of similarly-oriented, but oh so different, performers. Even without a ton of threads, it was great to have in the background, and the threads it did spawn were a lot of fun.
Thanks too for Dhel's intro to 'Jedi are not all home-smashing monsters.' I look forward to the debates that are likely to be had on the ship at this point. I'm going to be a bit amused if the freewheeling sexual shenanigans on the ship are less of a source of tension than someone's offhanded advice to Dhel or general practice between light/dark/balance-y users on the ship.
Oh..Sholua's take on Raven's offer of becoming official Friends of the Enclave? (or whatever the official name of that is...I'd have to hunt the thread) Between her and Dhel, I feel like Sholua's the more sharply mercantile of the two of them, just due to the much rougher path she took getting here.
And I don't think we ever actually asked anyone else if they were going to love a shipcat. XD Does Sho threaten to turn Manka into mittens if she messes with her strings and triangles? Or is there pole dancing practice with purposefully dangling things to entertain the cat?

A good performer always appreciates a good doorperson/bouncer/enforcer.
The concept was as simple as . . . Star Wars has dancing girls, Star Wars has force users . . . dancing girl force user? Why not! And then looking at the setting of the game led to making a padawan survivor (which ironically I got the book with the spec for a week into the game.)

Sho saw the back of your head as you did the about turn during the first Wookiee movie night! That's as close as we got to meeting!
Next time . . . then you can see for yourself that Manny does have girlfriends.

Dhel! My partner in 'crime' or whatever it we do . . . fleece those with more money than sense?
The ship polycule is such a fun thing. Never even considered it before the game started. I blame Manny for throwing that egg in the tips box. That started EVERYTHING! As for joining the Mandos . . . well Mandos and Jedi have history, bad history . . . good job Sho wasn't very good at history and doesn't consider herself a Jedi then! Still she will be careful as she's aware the Mandos for all their combat ability do sometimes have a penchant for almost religious crusades.
The cat goes nowhere near the strings and triangles or it will be turned into mittens . . . she'll find something else for Manka to play with. Maybe a Magic Mika poster or two.

Oh man, we never got to spar like I hope!
Solork went a very different direction, so I hope that he and Shoula would still be on at least cordial terms.

Thanks for being a part of the game! There was an interesting vibe caught in the characters makeup with Cartess that came up in one conversation they had I thought was really cool at the time, that idea they actually both were "performers" for others with their skills at a time and this lead to a flirtation with falling.
Sholua danced, but Cartess fought in an arena. It was and is an interesting dynamic between their stories that became something of a cool point between them during play!

Sparring is something I have always shied away from in PbP. Just never feel the need to ever show that.
Force, we're not going to see eye to eye on. Resistance against the Empire though, that's a common goal.

I still imagine there's some quality arguments in their future . . .
