I've rarely had to write this much this consistently. Generally, if I'm about to run into any RP rules like controlling other's characters, I'll stop at the point where their input is required, which results in a very short post. Normally I'd be fine with that, but when you've written up such long, beautiful story posts, I feel it would be shameful to write much less, so avoiding power-playing will be a bit more problematic for me.

Additionally, my concept of the story at the moment does not lend itself to substantial content. I'm not very good at describing environments, so to bulk up a post, I would normally delve into a character's thoughts. But Erudessa's thoughts aren't very complicated right now - she just gave orders and is hanging back to watch the outcome. There's not much going on in the way of observation or analysis. She's not a particularly competent fighter compared to her soldiers; in fact, she'd probably lose a melee confrontation with any one Imperial soldier. Getting down and dirty would be most unwise. So I don't have a lot to write about right now.

What I'm trying to say is, please don't be mad. I'm still learning as an RPer. This RP is a brand new challenge that I haven't yet developed competency in.

PSH! Hey [@Thinslayer], I'm not mad man. Haha, and honestly your willingness to talk about these things makes me like you all the more. Few people can do that, let me tell you. Very often you come across these masochist RPers that are just ignorant and won't take no for an answer. But this is good. If I can recommend anything it's to describe -everything-, and there's no rush. Put yourself in a place where you challenge yourself to bring the thoughts in your mind into words. Why isn't she a competent fighter? Heck, after reading how gitty and playful she was with those glitter mine-bombs at the beginning I was hooked, I knew I'd like her. You don't need to describe her ENTIRE past, you can leave the parts you want Lanik to find out, but I have very little information of her to play off of other than she's this playful elf that likes to play tricks on others. That's cool, but there's apart of me that wants to know more even before her and Lanik meet, y'know?

I hope I didn't come off as elitist in my previous OOC post, there's no hard feelings at all, and I'm here with ya all the way.

And one last thing, [i]take your time[/i]. If you need to take a week to craft a post to your liking then do it. I won't dog on you. This is a collaboration remember? ^^
