Is there any place that I can move Samson? Absolutely no offense meant toward m8e, but alcohol is a tough subject for me to work with/hard to write Samson working with it properly.

Note to self: Pick less edgy username next time.

Adelphos is probably the thing giving me the biggest reservations about joining

Called it.

But seriously though, I haven't even done anything yet sad

[up]If I thought there was anything objectionable to what you were doing with him, I would have said so long before. I'm just saying, within the larger context of whether the thread is "too casual", that I don't want my characters to get involved in that plotline.

There are at least two empty stalls at this time, though I'm not sure they're near you. Both are in the Showcase.

@Yomegami: hadn't we settled on paying in gold?

Yes, we did. Mahiro's assuming he'll get somewhere around the equivalent of what he just said, assuming Adelphos doesn't try to haggle it a bit.

Also, I have no *arg*ing clue how to price paintings, or even how that even works in the story they're from, so the price he gave was just me making a semi-educated guess and hoping it sounded about right.

[up] Ok, but I'll just end up adding a single line of dialogue asking how much that is in gold, so if that's okay, then I'll work on the post.

Edit: Huh, it's just around 11.5 grams.

EDIT EDIT: oh wait, never mind, I'll just use a gold coin.

I seem to have accidentally touched a nerve with Adelphos.

And Iris is in, with her friend Mijo the wyvern-bodyguard.

I was feeling pretty iffy about the Halloween thread and I still do, mostly because I'm not sure what any of my characters could get out of being harmlessly scared. (Then again, I don't consider haunted houses to be fun- I kind of understand the rationale but not really, and I'm easily startled.) I really wanted to give Henri another shot, but he may have to wait until the thread after that because his first response to being freaked out would be to either flip out and cower (if he knows he can't be harmed) or pull his gun (if he doesn't know he can't be harmed). I now have a few ideas on who might come, assuming I have enough time and the final thread still appeals to me.

EDIT: Actually, Henri might work out for this thread, thanks to the 'true fear' room, and not because he needs to be told what his true fear is again. I was worried that the 'Cowardly' part of 'Cowardly Lion' would overtake his time in the thread, but the 'Lion' part could come out if someone has a bad experience in the room. That could be interesting.

Okay, just wanted to make sure before I cutlisted it.

... Am I doing things correctly? Nobody seems to be interacting with my characters. I know I've wrote them as quietly observing, but that's only because I'm new to these CDT's and didn't want to piss off any of the regular players by just barging into the middle of someone else's conversation...

I don't see anything you're doing wrong, though multi-person conversations tend to be somewhat problematic in my experience.

“Oh, it looks like I’m holding back some customers,” he said and turning to Mahiro, he continued, “I think this scroll should be fine. Now, let’s talk price.”

I assumed Lihiri would give some kind of courteous response to the bolded portion (along the lines that she was interested in listening as well), but I structured this so poorly that I didn't give her an opportunity to respond. Sorry about that.

But, yeah, as mentioned above, barge in all you want, as long as it is in character for them to do so.

@Tera Chimera: *sigh* This is embarrassing. So, I went back and changed my previous response slightly since I realized I had made a mistake. It shouldn't affect your current response, so no worries there. Just wanted to inform you.

Excellent. And I've finally added something with substantial dialogue from Lihiri. It's a bit hard writing a Cloud Cuckoolander who's also attempting to deliver an Infodump, but I'm rather pleased with it...

I might be joining by tomorrow (evening). I'm finishing the third test of the day (my instructors hate me) in half an hour, and the last one I'll have to study for happens tomorrow morning. I've still got a rough draft of a slightly beefy essay to do after that, but more time to spare it, and I feel less pressured by that on the whole.

I think I'll just be flinging in one character for now, a little sooner than I thought I would. Haven't had much time to think about any others.
