Wild Hunt! (this time for reals)
Here we go. Previous backroom discussions here and here. I've got a few addenda to keep things nice and orderly.
1. Hunters, you're not hunting the living bystanders. You can mess with them, you can chase them around a little if you like, but they're not your target. You'll be actively following the dead souls, so they'll probably feel like they're being chased, but they're not the target either--think of them as your hounds.
2. The actual target of the hunt, to the hunters, can take the form of whatever that individual hunter sees as desirable but elusive. Some foe they can never quite beat, something lost long ago that they dream of regaining, whatever is most appropriate--enough to make them really want to hunt down whatever it is, make them give in to their darker nature as need be in the process. Give them a good motivation.
To everyone else, the target of the hunt takes the form of a woman--ghostly, insubstantial, can seem either good or evil depending on what works best for your pup. From a distance, she looks like a ball of light, and pups may or may not get close enough to make anything else out.
3. Dead pups, feel free to appear in exactly the state of your death if you like. Incorporeal is good; you may well be terrified, but don't worry, nothing can hurt you. You probably have a feeling that you should run away from whatever's chasing you. You may catch sight of that glowing woman off in the distance up ahead and try to see if she can help you; or you may try to go off to the side and hide from the hunters, but they can probably find you. Sometimes it sucks to be dead.
4. I've set the post up with three headings, one for each of the character groupings. I'd like every pup to tag in to their appropriate heading, hunter or dead soul or bystander, and from there you can threadhop. But to keep things less messy and more realistic, you can only tag out within your same heading and to those lower on the page, which is to say:
Hunters can tag anybody.
Dead pups can tag each other and bystanders.
Bystanders can only tag each other (if they can find each other).
If that makes sense. Bystanders get to hang around and wait for action, but that's what bystanders do.
5. They're not really meant to be very long and convoluted interactions, since two of the groups involved have the urge to run and the third, at best, probably has a bad feeling about what's going on out here. Threadhop as much as you want! The post is going to be open for at least a week, so everybody who wants to will have the chance to get some action in (and because slowtime is love). Once all the threads are done, there'll be a last-call and then it's getting posted, but for now there's no rush.
Have fun with it, and feel free to poke me (via message, or comment here) if you have any questions. ^_^
