Transplanting this here from Hostboard because over there it drops off the screen pretty quickly due to the single board setup...

The basic structure works like the Yukiverse setup, where people sign up for point of view characters and tag on bits to the story.

However, this one is a story with only two threads so far (the "daytime" ongoing plot thread -- currently involving homicidal cinnamon rolls -- and the "nighttime" anything-goes thread where you can be in sync with the daytime world or off in your own version of the timeline and it might or might not connect with anything else.)

In addition, this one is written like a story, not as much like roleplaying. In the Yukiverse, people write from the first-person point of view of their characters (saying "I did something" in that character's voice).

In the Kami no Matsuei storyline, it's written from the standard third person past tense used in most stories and books (if your point of view character is someone called Bill, the writer describes "Bill walked over to the water cooler and filled a cup, thinking, I wonder when it's going to be 5 p.m.. His co-worker Mary wandered by and said, 'Hi, Bill.' Bill waved back..." and so on.) This perspective gives you a little more leeway to jump into other characters' heads with a small shift in tense if you want to describe things from someone else's point of view as well.

If you're confused by "first person" vs "third person", just read some of the story snippets in each and you'll see how it works. ^_^

Since it's much slower-moving than the Yukiverse setup, and since what people do isn't as dependent on what other people will do or have done, I'm not setting a specific time limit on when characters get returned to the casting pool over here.

(However, if six months to a year goes by without any posts from a significant character, I may reconsider this... ^^;

The cast list for this game is restricted to characters from Yami no Matsuei and Count Cain (except for the cinnamon rolls, which are almost Yami characters anyway; if anyone else wants to play demonic cannibalistic food objects let me know...).

Current list of claimed characters:

Tsukiyama: Dr. Disraeli

Yue: Watari

Breze: Hisoka

Miko-chan: Terazuma

Crisis: Muraki

Risu-chan: Riff and Merry (with forays into other characters' heads to be able to use the Plothammer to encourage further plot motion ^^;;

The Crystal Gryphon: Various possessed evil cinnamon rolls wandering around eating people (no I'm not kidding ^^;;

If you want to sign up for anyone, reply here with the person you want to sign up for...

Yowza, it takes a while to repost these 'cause I have to put in breaks at 10K characters and manually redo all the italics and stuff. Got the nocturnes thread caught up, will come back and do the others later...

[Yue]

the plot tread doesn't exist yet so can I write comments here?

Nice job doing it, in the first page I was wondering if there was a way to know who wrote who but you settle that in the second page.

I'm ashamed of what I've wrote but I'm proud of how imaginative the board can be! ^0^

Will you post the parody you made of the latest chap too? and we need to continue the nocturne tread c'uz the doctors are so nice ;___;

oh yeah, gotta corrected that french used in the 5th or 6 mess.. but too lazy right now XD (first message here and already procrastinating...) lol

Maybe if we get exterior reviews for this story the poeple would be more willing to pursue it..

oh well, nice job ^^

No one has claimed Tsuzuki yet? Damn, if not for the fact that I can't get his angsting and history down (I've only read till book 5) I would grab him.....

[eurynome]

I think I would like to claim Tatsumi as my character. He's so uptight that I can't help but like him. Kinda reminds me of a friend of mine actually. So if no one's got a problem with him I think I'll use him.

To be honest, I've never role-played before.
I haven't written any fanfics either, so I thought I'd try to start small.

I was in a bit of distress when deciding on a character - at first, I though I’d pick up the part of a certain… fatherfigure (i.e. Alexis) but realised I had no grasp of the character.
Then, I thought that playing the last scrapes of cinnamon dough left in the kitchen or “random cinnamon bun #4” just seemed too fun to resist, but there are already enough murderous pastry going around already, right?

Therefore, I'd like to apply for the role as 003. ^.^
Is that alright with everybody?
Especially Yue, who, I believe is playing Watari.
