That is not a smile.

And if it were a smile, it wouldn't be for that beast feeling content nor does it look comforting in the slightest.

Summoners of Babel

@cloudystar No, because their anatomy shouldn't allow for them to smile .-.

I mean, all animals are capable of facial expression, naturally. The jaws of a dog or cat should not be able to curve upward into a smile, though.

"They wait for the Spirit from the tree to respond...patiently looking at her with smiles on their faces."

Question. How in the world does a wolf pup smile?

If you want to do it, do it. If you don't want to do it, don't do it. It's pretty much that simple.

Yeah, I figured I'd mostly get answers like these.

It's just that, when one guy raises concerns, I feel like I have to ask everyone. I don't want this to get to a point where I'm up for writing for the RP, but nobody else is.

I'm not going to start it back up again immediately, and it probably won't continue until after I've done my exams (So at least another month from now)

Hope y'all can understand.

Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

@DarkRecon Sorry it took so long, but the post is up now.

Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

Back at the cafeteria, both Jason and Serah were seated at a table that made them face each other. Serah had won the race and dragged the odler boy over to buy some pastries, but she didn't look like she was enjoying any of it. The fork in the girl's hand shook as she kept prodding the pie on her plate. Her face had lit up as red as a tomato, almost as if she suffered from an allergy. Jason, on the other hand, didn't seem to mind one bit. If he wasn't busy eating, there'd be a smug smile plastered all across his face. Jason was continuing the conversation they had earlier about a Framewerk's circuit, before he interrupted himself to look at the cafeteria's door swinging open.

Serah looked up as well, seeing Mai stumble through while leaning on a boy she didn't recognize. Though still flustered, a sense of worry rapidly crept up in Serah's chest. She shot up from her chair, quickly muttered "Excuse me," and ran over to Mai.

"Maaaai! Ohmygosh, what are you doing?! You shouldn't be moving! Oh, dear mercy..." Serah's cheeks were still a bit red as she stood there, in front of Mai. She wanted to throw the girl's arm over her shoulder and lead her into a chair, but that boy worried Serah. She doesn't know how he'll react when she tries to help the poor girl out.

Serah glanced down to her left, seeing a table with an unoccupied chair. She pulled it back, then snuck underneath Mai's elbow to guide her to sit down, whether she wants to or not. Once Mai sat down, Serah looked up to Jake. She was struggling between letting the anger she felt show and putting up her happy smile, so her face was pretty tense. "W-What's going on? Mai should be resting up, not... not walking around like... she shouldn't..."

Serah relaxed, breathing a little deeper and snapping out of her little panic. The boy led her to the cafeteria, so they probably were intent on getting some food. Serah leaned back on the table she took the chair from, looking back at Jake. "Hey, uhm... could you go and get something for her? I... I need a bit of time with Mai."

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

The opposite end is not an enjoyable experience either.

Being showered with criticism is not fun. Sure, things like fitting characters into roleplays, or actually using quotation marks for dialogue are very important. However, things get annoying when somebody harasses you to put that period inside the quotation marks, or how "fjord" is the correct spelling instead of "fiord".

Also, give people time to improve, and space for minor recurring errors. Everyone slips up once in a while.

There's no point correcting people if their mistakes don't affect storytelling or comprehension, and I find that telling someone once is enough; not willing to improve to the RP standard is a choice to not participate.

@gcold

Sure, I'll complete the trio.

Asking for criticism and wanting your writing to really be dug into, only to be met with indifference, saying 'it's good, dw dude' or get wholly unhelpful comments that get taken back as soon as you ask the other guy to elaborate.

Whenever it feels like I'm doing something wrong and ask the people I'm roleplaying with for advice, they never give anything beyond very minor and specific nitpicks that they only bring up once I push them for it. Even then, half those nitpicks get taken back five minutes later.

I know I'm not anywhere near the level I want to be at, but if I don't know where I'm going wrong it becomes more of a far-fetched dream compared to a goal.

So, someone's told me that the break might be dragging on for a little too long. Is anyone else feeling this way? Because if you are, I'll force myself to write up another post and get everything rolling again.

Tagging all people that got interacted with in the post.

Rolle talked to Baldur and then went to Kiara and her spirits and Lionae decided to stalk Lupa and Okami for a bit.

Summoners of Babel

"Ah... Baldur, you zay? I have heard that name before. From where, ekzactly, I can not recall... but the pazt iz the pazt, no?" Rolle replied calmly to the taller man, adding a rather boisterous laugh at the end.

"Yez, we are both a little out of plaze here. That makez it interezting, no?" The middle-aged man's smile broadened. He walked a bit closer to Baldur and took a spot next to him, then turned around to look back at the room. Right about then, someone walked past that seemed to grab the blonde's attention, with Baldur's eyes tracing them.

"Ah, a holy man! Are you perhapz of the religiouz type, zir Baldur?" The question seemed to fall on deaf ears, because the samurai-looking fellow started to walk off. There was a scene being caused at the stage, from the looks of it. A youth stepped on his spirit.

"Well, hiz zpiritz muzt be gluttonz for punizhment. Though I do admit to not zee the whole picture," Rolle started to follow and tried to start conversation again, but Baldur wasn't listening. It lead Rolle to the conclusion that this man would be a tough nut to crack, even though he had a feeling of the sort already. Suddenly, Baldur started to speak up again.

"The tension is thick, here... blood is about to be shed."

"Well, I would hope not! I dread to be caught in the crozzfire..." Rolle shuddered at the thought of getting into a fight, preferring not to think about it at all. He was able to fight, yes, but he'd prefer to avoid it. Rolle took notice of more and more people starting to speak up against the young blonde up in stage, rubbing his chin as he watched. People were giving a particularly hard time to the elderly man from before, receiving a few tuts from Rolle.

"Oh the youth! They are giving that man quite the rough time, no? But... I think they are being a little unfair. They do not zeem like zuch a bad perzon, I have zeen much worze people who claim to be of faith." Rolle folded his arms, glancing up at Baldur. The man seemed primed to fight, not talk. Rolle's words were just going past him.

The crowd seemed to disperse soon enough, with the blond boy proudly boasting of his family and that none of the others would stand a chance. "Well, that iz that!" Rolle patted Baldur on the back, taking a few steps forward.

"That boy iz quite the handful, eh? But, I do not think I will be joining him. Working alone zeemz to be more fitting for folk like uz, no? Gwahaha!" Rolle gave a jovial laugh, then nudged towards the few folk still crowded around the stage.

"I think I will talk to zome of the young maidenz over there! Do not fret, though. We zhall zee each other on the the ekzcurzion, yez?" Rolle bowed goodbye to the mercenary, then turned around to go towards the three young maidens huddling together under a large coat. They were all clothed rather fancily, not to mention they were quite young! They were three beauties, so they old man had to be careful in choosing his words. It would do him no good to be arrested at this point in time.

"...wise enough to know how fortunate they are to have a spirit at all. If I hadn't chosen Kiara then she wouldn't have realized she's a blatant sub."

Rolle overheard a snippet of something one of the young beauties was muttering, raising one of his eyebrows. A humanoid spirit, eh? Well, that was even more dangerous! Now they wouldn't even need to arrest Rolle, they could just pin him down themselves. Still, he couldn't just ignore a comment like that.

"Are you not happy with your zummoner, young mizz? Becauze you zhould know az well az any that if you chooze your zummoner, you are deziding to zpend your life with them." The man was approaching from the side, so he should not catch the three young ladies off guard. He was calm and composed, signature smile with arms open as a welcoming gesture.

"But where are my mannerz? Rolle, zummoner and travelling artizt. I azzume you three will be climbing the tower az well? Well, pleazed to make your acquaintanze either way." If he had known which one was the summoner, Rolle would have kissed their hand to show respect. For now, he's content to just give a regular bow to all three.

Lionae's ears fell flat against her head as Okami and Lupa climbed back out of the trees and sat there for a bit, saddened. She wanted to play, but now she couldn't. The spirit followed them both with her eyes, flinching from the dagger hitting the tree. She jumped to another branch, then down to the ground. She watched from behind the tree as the entire scene unfolded, a little scared of all that was happening.

Okami moved away again, along with Lupa. Lionae's ears perked up again as she dashed to the next tree again, eyeing them closely. She was really, really curious. He was talking to some girls... Lionae heard about the party, but she didn't know what a party was like. The lion cub slowly snuck up towards the boy and his wolf, tapping their shoulders with a claw once close enough. As soon as Okami turned around, the girl jumped back and got down on all fours, with her tail curved around and pressed against Lionae's side. She stared up at the boy, but didn't move or say anything. The only thing he got was a continuous, unblinking stare.
