Something...

Yeah, since some of us came in with two people.

I'll make a post of it right now.

Just floating around...

I'm also using location tags in Dinner Party, if only to help make the thread a little less convoluted for newcomers.

Go ahead; I'm not waiting on anybody else or anything (in fact, part of the reason this matters is that I'm not sure how to handle the Regent's interactions with Sonzai's characters).

I really need to know where all the people in the dining room are located and who they're interacting with. Not all people are using location tags. :|

[up][up]It's nothing wrong with your characters as such; the Regent is hiding a few things and they're a little too direct. So it's easier for her not to respond to them alone.

[up]The reason most people in the dining room aren't using location tags is that they're in one large group, though I do have a reasonable idea of who's sitting next to who(m?).

[up] Well, Charles is sort of a diplomat who had expected to meet alien species, and as for Nati, her middle name is Direct. (not really)

Like I said, it's not a problem with them in any way.

On another note, I'm glad you're participating in the threads again. I had the impression you were sort of burned out when Resort and its successors went in a different direction from the one you wanted, so it's good to see you back.

Thanks for reminding me to say that, nrjxll: Sorry I didn't say it before, Sonzai, but it is a pleasure to have you back!

On another note, I think I've found an excuse for Asayu and Malo to disappear when I do. Try not to burn the place down while I'm gone!

[up]Speaking of people I've missed... ah, shit, you kinda got left behind in Dinner Party, didn't you? I won't really be able to help you get back in, given that the sisters will be disappearing within the next few days, but someone should be able to help. Elfhunter seems to be free, talk to him/her maybe?

I don't know. I think the thing is that I just do not really have any characters available.

Crystal Glacia: If you're still there, have Anita go about her own business. I need to move my character and I feel awkward doing that while the host is still standing there.

Uh, Night, I realize not a whole lot's going on with the Hall group - especially since everyone else in it appears to have disappeared - but I did post for Harry a while back.

ummm...wait, isn't Anita the host. my character was at the stage, Anita talked to him. Since the stage is in the dining room, wouldn't that mean the host is already there? So Masterofchaos's post doesn't make sense...or did i miss something?

Okay, none of my characters are sociable, so just...

never mind.

Thanks for welcoming me back, but just to be clear, I left before not because I was burned out, but because I got bored of the generic chit-chat and restrictive atmosphere.

But, I did have fun, so I decided to give it another go, and you never know - maybe some of these new people might be interested in some new ideas? (That, and since I took a break, I'm not bored of the chit-chat ... yet. :P)

</serious> <silly>

as she does essentially everything sentient, I think.
- Malo talking about Asayu

In other news: this can be tested, if you guys don't mind one of my Starfish Aliens showing up. (Although I'm expecting the answer for these aliens to be no. :P)

Of course, it might just freak out the Regent more, as they're pretty strange.

Or the Cat Girl from Charles, Nati, and Kazue's setting could show up, but that would just be way too easy. :P

Not sure why that would be the case; the Regent is an across-the-board xenophobe and has no more problem with her home setting's Starfish Aliens then she does any other alien.

But no cat girls, please. I can tolerate the wolf person (the fact that they're a tweaked human and not yet another fantasy character helps), but I hate cat girls.

I left before not because I was burned out, but because I got bored of the generic chit-chat and restrictive atmosphere.

That's essentially what I meant. "Burned out" = "bored".

@Burned-out: Oh, well nevermind then. :P

And as for the aliens, I meant because if she's surprised at an AI, I have a feeling she's going to have a hard time believing these guys exist. Or maybe not. Who knows?

But seriously nrjxll, Cat Girls are all the rage ever since the designer appearance boom of the 2120's.

The irony of me currently having a cat girl avatar, but knowing you don't see it just makes this all the more hilarious.

AIs in my setting have a very common (as in, 99+ percent of the time) tendency to go psychotic. What's surprising about Nati is that she's sane, not that she exists.

And while I didn't know about your avatar, I'm not surprised. Part of the reason I'm not enabling forum gingerbread anytime soon is that several avatars here creep me out.
