Bio

I'm a girl of an indeterminate age and nationality (to whoever's reading this anyway, unless you ask nicely, maybe), I've been writing off and on for many years now (no guarantees any of it is/was ever good though), picked up roleplaying a year or two ago and ended up here after not finding much satisfaction in other places. I enjoy many kinds of RP's, really, I don't know what I like until I see the idea for myself! That's not to say I may abandon if I get bored, I do my best to stay within a RP until the end, so long as it stays manageable, the group doesn't become too large and things don't get out of hand. However, I can definitely say I do enjoy fantasy, whether high, dark or in the middle (though I can't say I like it when it's too high or extremely dark), certain types of sci-fi (not too wild stuff, some examples of stuff I like off the top of my head are Mass Effect, Halo, Phantasy Star, Knights of Sidonia, etc...), I definitely enjoy modern day settings, military is a favorite as well and I'm willing to try so much more!

I don't have many preferences when it comes to roleplaying, just please keep your grammar and vocabulary bearable, don't be too short when it comes to posts in Casual and Advanced and we'll get along just fine! Then again, I probably don't even need to tell you that!

A few tidbits of information about me:
-I've lived in the USA, the UK, France and Belgium for varying amounts of time and hope to/plan to move to the Netherlands in the near future.
-As such, I speak English and French fluently, though I can't (yet) speak Dutch to save my life. That's probably something I should work on. I'm also currently learning German in school and I've dabbled in Japanese and Russian, along with testing the waters in the Nordic languages.
-I greatly enjoy video games, my two favorite franchises being Metal Gear and Ace Combat. Also, #f***konami.
-I often watch anime, feel free to ask which, I have a huge penchant for mecha.
-The first thing I ever really wrote was a thing inexplicably called "Dragon Trilogy", despite only being one work, which involved me, my best friend, who was a dragon, and sushi. I was nine, don't judge.
-Show me just about any fighter jet and I can probably identify it.
-More to come, folks. I suck at writing these things.

Sounds good, I'll get work on that tomorrow evening, when I get home from school, put it through @LadyTale as well.
Hello, hope everyone's doing alright, it seems things have slowed down a bit! I just wanted to update by saying that a post is being worked on with Caits and it should be expected soon. I'm very sorry if I'm making everyone wait!
Slow weekend? Everyone doing okay? I'll post tomorrow if it's needed, but I'm waiting on other people to give some signs of life!
I think I remember opting for the interest check, but couldn't join the actual RP since I was busy with midterms. If there's a slot still open, is it possible than I can join?


I can't stop refreshing just to see what other .gif's are in your signature. I saw Aldnoah Zero and now I can't stop.

@LadyTale, sign this one up, I like 'em. xD
And they were off, it it seemed. Iris, still in a sour mood, wondered what they could make with their current cooking level and those ingredients. Being the kind of person who enjoys eating to distract herself when in a bad mood (it was a good thing she wasn't in a bad mood often), she hoped they wouldn't burn too much of it. Any hopes she had for a second sandwich evaporated when she threw hers in anger at Matsuta and she had been so furious that she had hardly listened to Sapphira, only realizing what her answer could have been after looking in her cart as they walked. "I'll take point." She volunteered, walking ahead at a brisk rate. Her intended style had a large focus on agility and speed, so she wanted to start working on leveling up the skill as soon as possible. How would she work on acrobatics, though..? Was there a training ground for that? Did she just have to use the skill in battle until it leveled up? It was strange, this world had practically become reality for her, but it differed from any possible reality but virtual by having aspects that ostensibly made it out to the the world of a game. In a way, it was exciting; have the ability to train her stats and participate in combat in an absolutely beautiful new world, but at the same time, she had to feel a bit afraid. One wrong step and she'd be dead. No retries, no respawn. Apparently, the room where people once respawned in the beta test was now replaced by a monument with every player's name, dimming and fading when they died. Kayaba wasn't the kind of person to bluff either, if she wasn't mistaken about him. He wouldn't threaten them with death and then just let them wake up normally when they died in-game.

Soon enough, she was deep in her musings, though averting the mistake of looking into the past. That wasn't her past right now, it was Maya's. Her past had begun this very day and now she was in the present. She was with new people, ones that she had never met before. It sort of pained her to force herself to be a new person, but she'd get used to it. "Hey, anyone mind if I scout head? I'll find us a place to set up camp." Iris turned around and asked the group as they exited the gates of the Starting City, running was the best way to get a head start on leveling her agility and speed stats. Plus, she kind of wanted to see the sights a bit before it go too dark for the day, even if they were probably going to be on the first floor for a good while. They'd be busy soon, anyway, at least now she had an excuse to run ahead without much of an objective. The first floor had easy terrain on purpose, it's not like they'd have many problems finding a place to camp, but she needed an excuse. "I like some alone time once in a while, you know?" Without waiting for much of an answer, she started stretching and once she had finished, she turned towards the group with a half-forced smile. "So? I won't be long!"
Oh snap, I'm being waited on and I didn't even notice. ;_;
Posting soon, I'll be writing quite a bit this afternoon, need to distract myself from SHTF in my life!
Arrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhh, I had a really nice post written, then by some horrific chain of events lost it. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy meeeeeeeeee.... Well, it's either write a subpar post or post tomorrow, anyone have a preference?
Oh that's true too! There's a few anime with better English voices and some really good voice talent that I watch in English! Persona 4 is a big one because not only was I used to English voices from the European version of the game, they had bloody TROY BAKER as Kanji and that is an experience every single human deserves to immerse themselves in. Though, it DOES get a bit weird when the guy who voices the main character also voices the main villain...
Short range ballistic sandwich... rofl.

Despite the terminology, I do have doubts that sandwich, even thrown by Kirito could ever get up to 1000 km... xD
Side question. Does anyone else ever committed blasphemy and watch their anime dubbed? I prefer to watch with sub titles but you really need to pay close attention to read what's being said.

Last nighT I started SAO again but dubbed instead of subtitled so I could work at the same time. I have like five books I need to b finish so I was trying to work while I listened to the show.

For me, it all depends on what I'm watching and with who. Generally, I prefer subs when I'm watching most things alone, as I've gotten used to it enough to get the feelings and intonations from the characters' voices, even if I can't understand them entirely. However, when it's something like a Studio Ghibli movie where I want to focus on the art and animation as much as possible or I'm watching it with family, I'll probably watched dubbed. They're high enough budget to hire good actors as well, whereas smaller shows usually have great seiyuus in Japanese and pretty crappy voice actors in English, with the exception of the REALLY popular shows like Naruto, One Piece and the like. One example is that I find that English voice actors can't do emotionless, flat and monotone characters as well as the Japanese and just end up sounding edgy and like emos.

tl;dr I prefer subs most of the time, but dubs have their advantages, like in the situations that @pockets described. I can't cook while watching subbed anime, that's for sure!
Soon enough, the group began to come back. Mai'lo and Kip had stayed, as Iris had a feeling they would, considering it seemed they had gotten something better than the starter armor and weapons a while ago, but eventually, the rest slowly came back. The first was Sapphira, who seemed to have gotten a good deal, to say the least. A large wood cart was pulled behind her and Iris was torn between being impressed at her negotiating skills and being amused by her not figuring out how the inventory worked. At the very least, she had managed to get a lot of probably useful things, so Iris was satisfied indeed. She smiled when Sapphira called her out, waving to her as she finished up her humming rendition of a miscellaneous song. "Yup, that'd be me!" Iris bowed playfully as she answered her first question, Sapphira approaching her at a startling rate for her size. "These sandwiches were on sale, so I bought them fo-" Iris was cut off by Sapphira grabbing a sandwich and quite literally wolfing it down. A fitting term, she mused as the fox girl grinned widely and she was even more taken aback when her ears actually moved from the pleasure of eating it. Kayaba, don't tell me you did this on purpose... she remarked to herself with a bewildered expression... It was simply too much to be a glitch at this point... Still, at least she enjoyed it, now she just had to give the others theirs, with one exception. Oh, how she simply couldn't wait for seconds! "Glad you enjoyed it!" She cheered as she gave her an amicable pat on the shoulder.

Now then... Mai'lo and Kip seemed to be talking, so she'd get to them in a sec, first, she'd have her fun with Matsuta. It was time to take her revenge! She was about to begin walking over when she saw him looking with a hungry expression in her direction! Perfect! Except... he had a look of her being completely invisible. "W-what..." she murmured to herself as she gripped the basket handle with white knuckles. After doing so, he went back to blankly staring at things, miming the motion of puffing smoke and then muttering about butterflies. Mai'lo asked if he was alright to Kip and Iris definitely echoed their sentiments. She was mad now, stomping over. Rather than taunting him with the lack of sandwich for him, she instead decided to grab the one she kept for herself at of her inventory, furiously swiping and tapping through the menu until the sandwich was in her hand. She stood in front of him, holding the sandwich firmly. "Hey Matsuta..." she said with a false tone of kindness, before she threw the sandwich, the bread and contents all glowing from the use of a skill. "How's this for invisible?!" She yelled as the sandwich sailed towards him. Now making an about face without even waiting for the short-range ballistic sandwich to make contact, she turned and dropped the basket in Kip's hands. "Food, for you two." The young woman muttered angrily before stalking back to Sapphira.

Iris breathed deeply. A few moments passed of her making heavy breaths before she returned to normal, smiling at Sapphira. "So, all that aside, what did you buy?"
