[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]A tour? Hypothetically that would sound nice but many factors were involved in her decision to decline. She had travelled quite a bit and while she was not tired per se, she could fall asleep if she tried and it was a good way to control the mocking voice in her mind. "I have travelled quite a bit today and if you would not mind, I would prefer to take a brief nap and acquaint myself with the clan and its needs later today. I would be kind of you to point me in the proper direction however." So what if they thought she was lazy or shrinking work. She just needed an emotional break before she would show them all what Radicalclan could produce.

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]"May I accompany you?" The small female asked as she approached. She was still quite new to the ways of this revised Radicalclan, but seeing how the male leader and female warrior interacted would help her to figure out her role and how she was expected to act. It may not be ideal, but if she was going to try following something new, she had to make sure that this leader was nothing like her ghost who preached equality but acted on male supremacy. Yes, Vinny was taking notes and she would not tolerate any hypocrisy in the attempts to create a new clan..

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]Vintagepompeii as well had once been a medic. She figured that the ex-deputy would have asked for herbs if she needed any and even if she did, she would take them from someone more familiar than her. Even so, she felt it important to insert her two cents to make herself a bit more useful. "If nothing else, at least try the scent of lavender or leaves of chamomile for you nerves. It might do some good." She then stepped back, almost hidden behind the other members of Radicalclan. If they wanted any help they could ask, but she was not going to insert herself into a situation where she was no longer useful.

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]Vintagepompeii would not kid herself into believing that strange things did not happen in the clans. From magic to humans to other animals, she figured everything could be explained even if by saying something as strange as, 'they must have a new power.' However, she doubted this was the case as there did not seem to a creature at the source of this mystery though she had yet to investigate much. "Is it still there?" Maybe she could convince her ghost to look though she doubted it. She could not remember the last time he did anything for her.

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]It seemed her journey was not yet over. This camp would take some getting used to if that climb to the plateau would be required every day. However, she was not worried. These small things combined to improve those they wore upon and of course, the location was great for defense. "Thank you." She said curtly before she started walking to find the best way up. She hoped her friends from the past were wishing her luck. She would need it.

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]I went through a lot of those same problems and my muse just died and I disappeared and staff demoted Vinny. I'm really glad they did because every day I didn't post with her I felt guilty. I did just post a thing to adopt out Vinny's children so we'll see how that goes.

If you want to go back to anti-male, I think a mixture of the options you presented. I would say to get kind of anti-male females and have a male or two mess up really bad. The females start taking away their tasks until it just gets worse and worse.

Something else that I'm not sure anyone else would find cool is persecuting those with powers. It would be easier than anti-male since Peter doesn't like powers but you said it was iffy on the survey. They could borderline imprison those with powers to study them and such. Those with powers can hide among the ranks and those with them can go through classes to control them and kind of repent about havng them.

Tne thing that you have to ensure with any sort of discrimination is that it is fun to play on either side. People didn't think being a male was fun so we only had one male at a time in the old Radicalclan.

I feel like the thing with religions is that it isn't very prominent. Maybe reimagine the one we have then find a way to make it more important. Most other clans don't care about religion so that would be another thing unique to us.

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]"Do you have a preference for a location?" She asked. The other two journeyers know where they were going much better than Vinny so she should probably let them decide but since Naomi was still thinking and had yet to ask Peter's opinion, she figured she would let him insert his two cents. Besides, he might have a good idea. She was starting to learn that males had those every once in a while.

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]"Thanks dad." It was almost a reminder of when her son left time and again. The exception was that she always brought him back. She wondered if he would ever be back. Maybe in a new form with new ideas. It might help him to find purpose. "Come back and visit us sometime." She suggested in what she wished was a sagely way. "You might be surprised by what you find."

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]The small cat padded up and placed a paw on a container. It took a second for her mind to register before sharply recoiled. "It's cold." She exclaimed. It was called ice cream of course and she should have been expecting it but still, the temperature shocked her and she took a few steps from the container, playing it off as getting closer to the others for a conversation. "Why do humans want this stuff?"

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]A few things that might be really hard to do or not help at all, but hey, here they are:

Once you implement whatever changes you intend to do, make a sort of orientation 'who we are & what we do' thread and invite other clans to come to an open house. They can join in a few open threads and see if just roleplaying in our atmosphere can help with our activity.

One of the things I've noticed and don't like since coming back is how many subboards there are. There are a lot of clans but not many people in each. Maybe you could see about merging with another backboard clan. It would bring in new people with new ideas and possibly new justifications for whatever theme we could take.

Maybe a contest for HPs once you've tried a few other things. Don't do a FCFS type of thing but a kind of 'be active and you can have X role.' I would be willing to do things like Fancyposts and Graphics for anyone who participates and does well but doesn't win.

I'm not sure how I feel about some of those ideas, but feel free to do whatever you want. Also, if the religion thing is stressing you out, I could try to think of something pertaining to the current religion and a way to make it really important to Radicalclan.

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]"I like dangerous." Alright, so saying she liked it was a bit of a stretch, but Vintagepompeii felt like maybe a little adrenaline might help her. Anyone she had once known would be shocked, but considering she once threw herself over a ledge to save her son, they probably should not be surprised. Naomi seemed a lot similar to her as a kitten. How surprised Vinny would be to know who was really behind that grin. "What do you think Peter?"

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]"How long have you been in this territory?" She supposed she would ask, seeing as Peter was taking the effort to join her. While she had been keeping tabs on her clan during her absence, she did not know everything. She had lost them for a while between each move and she had not been near them in a long while. She had a small bit of catching up to do.

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]Vinny did not like that response. It probably should not have bothered her, but everyone knew how she was. There was no need to go on a further rant about her discrimination. "Alright, then go find out." She challenged. She would have done it herself, but she no longer felt like helping at this very moment. Aeternus snorted at her mood swing and she internally rolled her eyes. They were going to have words after this.

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]The cold made it welcome? Humans were so weird and apparently so were her clanmates. She stuck a paw in and took a small, hesitant lick of the melting contents. It was sweet, really sweet, and Vinny recoiled once again, her paw flinging away from her maw and sending a drip of ice cream flying. "It's all yours." She said in disgust.

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]Vinny was also a Ravenclaw, though older than the other two. She was in her sixth year and things were starting to get real for her. It was time to start planning her future and she had no interest in doing anything other than school. Too bad. At least she got to do herbology this year as she had been without the class her past few years. She spotted a classmate she had seen a few times in a compartment that did not seem like it was going to be further occupied. She slid in and voice in a cheerful tone, "Hello, my name is Vinny. Is this seat taken?"

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]"What house do you think you will get?" Vinny asked. She was always curious as to the workings of the other houses and what sort of qualifications their members had in common. Honestly, she did not agree with the major attributes of each clan. Not all Gryfindors were brave and not all Ravenclaws were smart. This was something she had learned in her years at the school. Hogwarts just had its way of doing things and Vinny wanted to find out how it ticked.

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]"Who would like to play a game?" Their life needed some amusement. There was plenty to do, but Vintagepompeii had yet to partake in an activity like this. It would be a good test for her and her clanmates - seeing each others values, which of their morales were most important and how they react to certain situations. No, it was not a test, but it could function as one in the future. For now, it was just to waste time. "It is called would you rather. You come up with two options and the players have to determine which they find more appealing."

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]"We have spent long enough standing here, we should start walking and decide on the route when we get there." More often than not she would just wander and go wherever she pleased. Everyone had different styles of doing things however and Vinny was just there for the ride. "How are you both doing today?" The female asked, starting to head forward. She hoped they would follow since she she did not wait for a response as to if they were ready to head out.

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]"Peter saw something." That was about as much as Vintagepompeii knew. Maybe Sweetpaw would go after the object since Vinny was unwilling and Peter was refusing. It was his problem, he should suck it up and figure out what was going on. She would never say that out loud however. Peter could do whatever he deemed best.

Even if she might not agree.

[fancypost bgcolor=#; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; font: 12px times new roman; color: grey; text-align: justify;]She remembered the Xiaolong Village. Rohthy had found the location for them but Vintagepompeii did not feel like she had been there for long. She had lived many places through her life and now she was in yet another. "Was the journey hard?" She asked for lack of better conversation.
