*Reads the OOC first. Thinks, “Uh oh, a godmodder.” Reads the IC. Raises an eyebrow.* As far as I can tell, you didn’t actually take control of Anora. You just put out there the “If she does this, then this will happen, but if not, this happens,” to quicken the progression of the scene. Let me know if you have any objections to me taking charge of getting him en route to the hospital. I’ll go back in and edit if need be. I’m not entirely sure how all that works, so I mostly winged it. Heh.

This isn’t my first rodeo, my friend! :lol After reading all that, I’m beginning to wonder what kind of RP partners you have recently had. I’ve been writing for almost sixteen years now, and roleplaying or writing stories with other people for nearly just as long. Which I don’t say to boast, just to tell you that I know what I’m doing... mostly. I make plenty of mistakes, but I’ve got this. All you really told me, was to play Anora and her surroundings like the place and person she is in the story, not a 2-D world typed up in cyberspace. Which is pretty much a common-sense rule of writing, if you want your settings and characters to feel as if they are real people, not just words on a screen/page. “A character is a caricature!” It’s always a bit harder when you haven’t had much time to “spend” with your character, but I can manage. In short, I had no other intentions than to play her and any following situations as realistically as what is in my capabilities! :-) 

“I know I’m making you carry a bit of the reigns.” Isn’t that pretty much what RP partners are supposed to do? Each always moving the plot forward in one way or another? I have been the sole GM in many roleplays, and even the DM of a D&D campaign, so I can and am accustomed to carrying an entire plot myself so long as the other player(s) put forth the necessary effort, be just a player doing what is necessary to keep the story moving forward and keep all involved engaged in the plot, as well as a bit of both in the events of major aspects falling to me every now and again in a plot that is otherwise not of my making. I quite like doing all of the above. My character knows as much about the world you are about to weave as I do, and I do not have control over any subplots at the moment, so I should not need any backstory for a while. But if that changes or I stumble upon anything to ask about, I won’t be shy to ask questions!

I appreciate you doing that with the cussing. It’s been a long while, so I figured you would have forgotten, and I have heard what kinds of mouths people in your profession tend to have. I’m a dying breed of oddity in that kind of world, so I understand the difficulty of remembering that preference for a single person (or couple people, if you know anyone else) out of dozens, if not hundreds.
