[OOC] To Cure a Curse

[Riven Wight]

No need to mention me! I'm subscribed to the RP, so I get notifications whenever there's a new post. Would you rather I mention you?

Ha! Well then... Wait, how old is your guy? Because I did say they had been considered extinct for 800 years. So, unless he's been in the forest longer than that or his entire family line had been secluded for that long, I'd imagine there's a chance he'd have heard! xD

[POOHEAD189]

No worries!

Oh, I more meant he is closeted and living in seclusion and deep within the forest. He's probably heard, just saying there's the possibility haha. That is something to explore about his character though. How sheltered is he?

[Riven Wight]

Gotchya. ;-)

Ooh, a nice important bit of character depth, there, to figure out! Have fun with it! Character building is a wonderful thing.

[Riven Wight]

Quick writing suggestion?

Watch distance-to-time, and/or remember to describe a reason for something happening quicker or slower than it should. It's possible for a person to walk five miles in roughly around two to three hours, depending on the person. An elk would be capable of making that a lot quicker, especially if we're talking roughly a straight line. Details, details, details! :-)

[POOHEAD189]

I was thinking it was early afternoon before they left the bandits, and then the snow and uneven terrain slowed them down, and since the sun sets earlier in winter it was a whole mess of factors. But totally, it wouldn't take long for an Elk to go 5 or so miles. :)

[Riven Wight]

Cool, cool. But again, it's important to mention those factors in some way! You said nothing about full-fledged snow that I recall reading, just that the lake was partially iced over, so I was missing that visual, as well as the terrain itself. Nothing on how difficult the path would be to navigate was mentioned. Remember, readers (including a partner in a roleplay) are not in your head! It's the job of a writer to paint a vivid picture with words. Missing descriptions or actions makes for missing visuals. I don't remember any snow being previously mentioned in past posts, either, other than noticeable in the distance, only the cold, but that could just be because it's been so long since I've read past posts. If that's the case, I apologize for my mistake with that sentence!

[POOHEAD189]

I did say there was shallow snow, but sleet as well on uneven terrain, and that it was just close to evening when they got there. But regardless, I honestly do appreciate the helpfulness, friend :) Sorry about not getting back earlier. I should reply tonight, and maybe hit ya back via PM too.

Also love the avvy.

[Riven Wight]

I promise I read it twice, just for good measure. Caught the around evening, but managed to overlook the rest both times. Sorry! Yay for being an unobservant jerkhead.

Take your time! I'll try to not keep you waiting long for my own PM response. :-)

Heh, thanks! ^.^ No idea what it's from, but Bill Murray. And coffee.

[POOHEAD189]

Aw, you're not a jerkhead! You're just trying to be helpful. It's cool~
I got busy tonight, but soon! (w00t Bill Murray!)

Quick question: by Calanon and Brogach having a bond, do you mean just a random/commonplace type bond that can form between animal and person, or something more elf related, something a bit deeper than that more average person-animal connection? Asking to figure out Rayadell's level of understanding to that.

@Siaya Dragalorn

More of an Elven understanding :)
