Boat Trolls planning thread! (full of spoilers, non-players enter at your own risk)

Gazpacho can be Bel's title! I like to assume it works like a nickname— it sort of accumulates by common consensus. Like, you can try and set your own, but it doesn't always stick? Also this would allow for a lot of sharing of cool titles, like Kamikaze. It'd be like the human Ace or Slim or Shorty or whatever.

I settled on Erskin's title being Greenfin, and basically a triple insult: it insults his gardening (green thumb), his position and politics (he might have fins but he's not aristocratic), and his youth and inexperience (green horn). Erskin might have dreamed of having a cooler title when he was a kid, but he's pretty comfortable being Mad Captain Aspera, by now.

I thought it would be cool for Galley to get the title Lodestar, though.

 

should i have erskin push for another round or back off and go for cuddles? and do you want to gloss over either to get back to whitey doing stuff?

 

>:D

 

i want to eat all those ):

 

erskin: haha i have you in my power
erskin: i can do anything i want to you
bel: ok what do you want
erskin: lol idk

 

i feel like bel and erskin have drifted into the red quadrant without noticing and it's kind of adorable? it's like 'oh yeah we definitely hate each other that's why we're constantly taking care of each other and cuddling. loathing. pure adrenaline-filled battle of wits rivalry. excuse me i need to go microwave a soup and feed it spoon by spoon to my one true enemy.'

martial arts lessons will probably put a bit more snap back in the relationship. at least, for erskin it will.

 

we should def figure out how to do some jethro/erskin scenes without rushing things too fast.

 

how should we have whitey find out about erskin's situation? would he just hear a general declaration of war through the grapevine, or gossip from the crew that erskin isn't holding up well, or bragging from ironfist? or does he actually run into erskin?

it could be cute if erskin is tired enough and stressed enough to curl up with whitey and let himself be pet and fussed at, though i think having a night to recover with bel is going to do him a lot of good.

 

what would happen if erskin took one? like he didn't know and no one warned him, or he was challenged by ironfist to get fucked up with them. would that be fun to play through?

 

well my brain just handed me the phrase 'rapturous clown pile' so i think that's what it should do. because: rapturous clown pile.

anyway yeah something that just produced euphoria and an inclination to stay fuckin put would be a lot better than giving a bunch of tank-size murder juggalos all the meth they want. whitey wading in and pulling erskin out of the ensuing mess to trip balls with him instead of stuffed under a clown's armpit could be nice.
