Hello, ladytanuki! I read your post. At the risk of sounding like Captain Obvious, I'd like to repeat that Syrni Sandra and Jen Jara are bypassing their paralyzed vocal cords with computer voice synthesizers. Gimme a few minutes to tack on some greetings to what I have written up already, and I'll post.

If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.

[up] Thought for a moment, when Valerie started to attempt to curse Wolfe, that the fucking shit up was going to happen sooner than expected.

Still waiting on getting some groups together before heading out. As it stands, I seem to have a few for necropolis, one or two for the ghost town (in addition to the three I'm sending) and no one confirmed to join my forest or wasteland groups.

Alrighty, all moved in and finally have a stable job I can actually live on solely for the first time in my life, nice little weight of my mind that. Will see about posting soon.

[up]Congratulations, Slysheen!

If Syrni Sandra and Jen Jara spend a certain number of hours under certain circumstances — specifically, at least two out of three of the following: cool temperatures, profound darkness, and few to no earthquakes — their instincts will mistake the environment for "winter" on their home moon, which is breeding season for Viporises. If nobody wants Syrni Sandra and Jen Jara going into heat and flirting with y'all's adult male characters, I could easily have them whisper for anti-estrus pills in sick bay — or if it's okay, I could just as easily have them forget to do so. I don't have a preference either way, let me know what y'all think before I accidentally break a wiki rule or make some other troper uncomfortable.

For the record, Valerie's completed curse spell: "To thy enemy who is condemned, let you suffer in their place!" I hadn't really settled on what would happen, so... It either would of been an Emotion Bomb that would of made him feel all her trauma and Issues firsthand, or made him suffer a psychic illusion with someone doing similar to him what he did.

I would say if anyone joins Valerie & Justin in going to the magic shop, Valerie would learn she'd have to get a missing ingredient herself. I haven't really finalized anything regarding said ingredient, but the shop is run by her two older & more reasonable sisters.

[up] or nothing would have happened at all as Wolfe would be oblivious to any such attempt and you can't have your characters score automatic 'hits' on other people's characters or dictate what those characters' reactions to something would be.

Her curse is rather ironic given she's the one who initiated it all by being rude to a group of strangers and then going on a rant when one of them threw it back at her - one could argue that all the crap that's flying in her direction is her suffering in the place of the person she attacked.

I rather get the feeling from the way she acts that if someone, on first seeing her, said 'why are you dressed so silly?' she would have responded in a way that'd make Maya's flipping of the bird look tame.

Well no, actually, as the important part is that she legitimately wasn't trying to be offensive. So if she was just minding her own business when someone suddenly insulted her outfit, she'd be annoyed but she wouldn't do much else. Different story though if they kept hurling insults at her, and insulting Justin is more likely to prompt a reaction sooner.

(@ Killer Clowns) Does this Lost Lenore bear a vague resemblance to one of the Void Maidens? That would amplify the embarrassment for that Void Maiden once they get a clue.

I don't mind continuing with Space Liner, but is the Comet Cafe group even still active?

Also, Sakura had gone to the bathroom in my post... but it's no big deal, we'll just say she came back before Warren got there.

Also also, I'm just gonna say Kiryu got up and left a while ago. Got nothing to post for him, anyway.

[up][up][up] To Wolfe, it matters not a bit that she wasn't trying to be offensive, Maya was clearly offended by being called 'icky' and responded accordingly - and in Wolfe's opinion, appropriately - at which point, instead of realising she had inadvertently caused offence and apologising and explaining herself, Valerie then repeatedly called Maya a stupid jerk and left it to Justin to try to smooth things over. Whereupon Valerie continued repeatedly insulting Maya.

Justin's protestations that Valerie didn't mean to be insulting come across as a lie, given that Valerie has not once shown contrition or understanding that her words could be 'misconstrued' and has repeatedly been offensive. His admission that she doesn't consider others is the truest statement he's uttered; 'she didn't mean to be insulting' loses credibility amid a string of 'stupid jerk, stupid jerk...'

Couple that with her use of possessive terms and a word only ever associated with animals to describe Justin, the perception is that he's some sort of slave or pet as far as she's concerned, which is also not endearing her to Wolfe.

The demon running around antagonising people For the Evulz doesn't help with the group's perception, either. Wolfe can't see it or hear it, but he can see and hear others' reaction to it and associate it with Valerie.

It took longer than I wanted, but I've made my second Adventure post. Got distracted both by real life and other parts of the forum. Jann and Varg have just noticed Ozurr.

Also, I just turned a year older yesterday. smile Invited my family over for some boardgames and stuff.

Still a great "screw depression" song even after seven years.

Justin's demon wasn't actually trying to terrorize anyone, he really just said a bunch of scary stuff and is pretty much a Unversed. Really, he was sort of trying to be helpful by offering to hurt whatever harmed the Not-Chaos-Hunters.

Hey, masterofchaos, what's your opinion of Valerie and Justin's demon?

I'm gonna post soon but Will, I'm confused by your post; did Cynthia bandage them or took out the bandages and then put them back?

Cynthia returned the first aid kit to Moobly without taking anything out after noticing Valerie apparently healing the group through song. Moobly does have several rolls of bandages on her tail.

Re-reading some threads to refresh my memory on certain characters. I really hope my sentence structure and grammar has gotten better, 'cause some of my old stuff is really hard for me to look at. Commas, all over, the, place. And almost never using the right it's/its.

Oh well... it's the content that counts, right?

Hello, Ryuhza. Which character development threads have you been posting in?

If you can see your own mistakes, you're at least halfway there to preventing them in the future. smile

Oh, I've been a part of most of them from mid-2012 to now, save for these last three. Been taking a break since Frontier ended though; trying to focus on solo writing. It hasn't been a particularly fruitful effort, but I'd hate to abandon it.

I can sympathize with the solo writing, my own solo writing has hit a humongous slump, but I don't want to abandon it either.

I'm not exactly Sherlock Holmes here, but I take it that "these last three" character development threads you've been taking a break from include the IMS Carpe Noctem?
