So sorry, work has been killing me lately. Is there any planning we still need to do?

{ Hm, I think deciding on how fantasy we want this world to be? And is Monsea a country? Kingdom? Continent? Is it where Vivenn's from/the opposing kingdom? }
{ And I have a vague idea of how to start; I was thinking shortly after Vivenn was captured and turned over to Dare? So we could start from her holding cell or while she's being escorted- }
{ I understand! We can take this at our own pace~ }

(I'm think I'm good with any level of fantasy, really. Monsea is a country/kingdom. It doesn't have a what I'd call a true king, but there is a single ruler. It's a place where if you're not born into a wealthy/good family or situation, it's kind of kill or be killed. Not necessarily literally, but it's very difficult to make anything of yourself if you're not born into the right social class. And yes, it's where she's from. Doesn't necessarily have to be the opposing kingdom. Also, did you have a vague age range you wanted to go for? )
(Sounds like a good place to start!)
(I'm hoping work will be a little less crazy after this week but yeah, I have a feeling I'm going to be rather slow to respond. I apologize in advance.)
(Also, I'm changing her name to Vivienne. I wasn't ever quite happy with Vivenn, hope that's alright.)

{ That sounds interesting! So is the ruler not referred to as a queen/king? And what kind of information would she be stealing then? }
{ I'd say Dare is like 24 or so, so anywhere around there should be fine~ }
{ Okay! Hm, I have an idea, then... }
{ No problem! I've been really busy too- and I'll probably get busier- But I want this to be a fun no-commitment type thing. So I don't mind if you have periods of silence or just times where you lose your muse~ I'd appreciate a heads up but I wouldn't be upset about it or anything~ }
{ Sure! I actually still haven't decided on Dare's real name...}

(Right. I don't have a title for it at the moment but I can come up with one if needed. I'm still kind of trying to figure out what kind of info she'd be stealing. I mean maybe looking for info on other countries/kingdom's military to find weaknesses (Maybe the ruler of Monsea is becoming interested in conquering other kingdoms). Or maybe she's looking for information about a specific thing. Depending on how we go with the amount of fantasy, maybe she's looking for info about a weapon of some sort, probably something magic and powerful. I've been trying to think of what information she could have about Dare's kingdom that would make him "question his loyalties" or whatever it was I said.)
(Refresher from the original thread in case you need because I know I did: Character B has been spying on Character A's kingdom but was caught and is now being escorted to a high-security prison by Character A. While Character A is loyal to their kingdom/king/queen/etc, Character B has information that just might make Character A rethink their loyalties...)
(Alright cool, I was thinking the 22-24 range for Vivienne so that works for me.)
(Cool sounds good!)
(Yeah, I'll be better about letting you know if I think I'm gonna disappear for more than a few days.)
(lol I know the struggle. Names are sooooo hard sometimes.)

{ No problem! I was thinking that too- like it could be some magical weapon or even the location of some legendary thing/place that his kingdom is interested in. It's possible that she isn't even spying on his kingdom, Dare could just capture her because his employers want the information- and in keeping with the 'escorting a secretly important figure', Vivienne could have stronger ties to this place/person/thing than originally meets the eye? Lol that could potentially make him question his loyalties }
{ Got it~ }
{ Yeah that was supposed to happen- depending on what we decide with the above, my 'idea' could change...like we'd start with Dare pursuing her or something- }
{ Same here! ^^ Speaking of, I have somewhere to be tomorrow and I'll probably be gone all day Thursday. I'll probably be able to check in, but I doubt I'll be able to actually write. }
{ They are! And I overthink them sometimes too because for me they can't just sound nice they have to mean something. I end up using obscure ones that autocorrect hates. Like Tsvetan. }

(Oooh that would put an interesting twist on things. Hmmm I'll see if I can come up with anything good unless you've already got something you want to try.)
(I'm pretty flexible with how we start so whatever works.)
(And no worries, my schedule is going to be completely whack for the next few days so I probably won't be able to do more than check in too.)
(Yeah I know exactly what you mean! I overthink everything already but names are so hard. I always know when I've found the right one but It's so hard to figure out what's wrong with the wrong one (if that made any sense). And yeah, autocorrect is such a problem sometimes.)

{ Hm, not quite? It depends on where you want to go with it- we could even do something like Eragon where Vivienne has/knows where the last dragon or unicorn or whatever is. It could be that she has important information in regards to an organization or even a spell or magical object- but the information can't be tortured out of her and requires magic to be extracted- or she has special magic herself? Or she's a runaway from an important figure or organization? Just random ideas off the top of my head! ^^" I'm not acutely suggesting them, they're just a general direction of possibilities! }
{ Sure! }
{ We're good then lol }
{ oof exactly that! I'm a perfectionist, even when it comes to names }

(Hmm I like the one where she has information related to an organization. Maybe it's an organization she was part of and left when she found out they were planning to do terrible things (genocide/murder, treason, idk something bad). Then she turned around and started spying on them which was tricky since they've been hunting her ever since she left, afraid of what she might do with the information she has.
So Dare's employer is also interested in said organization. Oooh maybe his employer is pretending they want Vivienne so they can use her information to destroy the organization but really they're the ones who have been supporting the organization from the beginning and they're looking to tie up loose ends?)
(I feel like names are a good thing to be a perfectionist about though.)

{ Sure, we can go with that~ }
{ Oh that's a good idea! }
{ Hmhm, true. Names with meaning are important to me~ }

{ Hm, I think so- Anything else we could just wing it lol Or cross the bridge when we come to it- So writing a starter is on my list of things to do but you're welcome to start first if you want! ^^" My brain hasn't been cooperating with me lately... }

(Sounds good to me! I can work on one too, probably won't be until next week-ish. Might get it done this weekend. I keep thinking work is going to chill out and then it doesn't -.- And then I'm out of town on the weekend but theoretically there will be some down time/relaxing time where I can write.)
