Drache

[Ebonfort] The Edge of the Map

The Captain was leaning against the railing under the shelter of one of the sets of stairs leading to the upper deck, his presence half-hidden with shadow. It was good to see the crew enjoying themselves. Better they find common ground now so that when bad weather and low rations threatened their morale they'd be less likely to turn on each other.

Although, if Dain's concerns were anything to go by, mutiny had been brewing before the ship had ever cast off.

The First Mate's antics were amusing to watch. She wasn't a graceful or fair-voiced woman in the slightest, her cloak and boots flying mannishly in time with the bawdy music reverbrating from her sweet fiddle, but there was a lot of skill there, he could not deny.

When Kira bowed out and let others pick up the frivolity in her wake, the Captain noted that Jharnia seemed to have picked up a little courage and descended from the bow to talk with the crew. He didn't have much time to observe, however, because the green-eyed First Mate had joined him neatly in his corner.

"That were a fine bit o' fiddlin', Miss," he grinned, peering at her with the faded leather hat tilted at a jaunty angle. He was tempted to mention that he had a guitar tucked in his cabin, but there would hopefully be time to that later in their journey. "I trust ye've been down to the ol' magazine, hm. Everything 'counted for?"

His tone was casual but his pale blue eyes had a seasoned sternness about them. Beside his elbow, a fluffy grey striped cat bounced neatly up to the rail, sitting with impecable balance with its tail curled around its paws as though the beast was part of the conversation.

"And I see ye've spoken to Jharnia. Seems a bit young. Think we can count on her in a challenge?" He glanced around, lowering his voice. "Mayhaps it'll happen sooner than I thought."

Scare Me With Your Experiences

Smut scene happening in an RP. Totally fine, I'm kinky as fuck and down for smut in my RPs pretty much any time.

Except as the characters (both mature adults) are getting into it my partner suddenly has their character slip on some enchanted ring that instantly transformed them into an obviously prepubescent child. It made absolutely no sense story-wise and was absolutely not discussed with me ahead of time. Sorry bro, no pedo!!!!! DX

I've never aborted mission on an RP that fast in my life.

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

When you want to join an RP so you spend hours reading into the lore and asking questions and mentally designing your character, only to click over to the Char tab to find that someone has already submitted a character that is pretty much exactly what you were about to do. It's no one's "fault" or anything but it always sucks when you have to toss a solid character idea, especially when tweaking a little to make your char similar but different isn't allowed by the GM.

Jurassic World: Loose Ends

Most people tend to give others a chance to post before moving forward. I don't see why this RP should be any different.

Jurassic World: Loose Ends

It's @Pilatus's turn, then @The Whacko.

The World of Lasgoul

The morning they were to reach the criminal safehouse, Rhindani took care to make sure her belongings were secured in her bag rather than scattered in the saddlebags and gear strapped neatly to her dun-coloured palfrey. If she needed to move quickly to tend to an injured comrade, or even to one of the outlaws they had come to route, the dragonkin needed her kit in its entirety.

"I have no skill to aid you in combat," she shrugged at Nicholas, a motion that shifted her wings under where they had been concealed by her cloak. "Unless you wish me to fight like a beast." It was not common for her kind to be born with wings, let alone a set that appeared strong enough to carry her weight rather than stunted vestigial things that had no purpose. But Rhindani concealed them for the most part, taking time only at night when camp was made to practice with them, the leathery whooshing echoing from where she lingered away from the others.

And so now they were hidden under the blue shawl-robe, though her hood had been pulled back from her scaled face, the smooth ridges of her crest sparkled oddly. The dragonking held a pot of some salve in her hand and smoothed the yellowish concoction over her face and skin, rubbing it in until her scales no longer glittered. It had a faint scent, not floral as one might expect but more earthy and woody like an incense.

When she was done dulling her scales she dropped her sleeves and her hood back where they belonged. "If it didn't seem that we were in a hurry I would offer to go in alone. Even bandits might be reluctant to turn away a healer or a pilgrimage, especially if she offered her services." The proposed pretext was so in-line with her true purpose in the People's Conglomerate that she shouldn't have any trouble holding it up as a charade. "I would be able to get an idea of their forces and the design of the building inside and report back. It may take longer but may help you all approach more wisely." She didn't seem to think anything of putting herself at risk.

But her offer seemed to fall on deaf ears, so eager they were to get started. Her long tail undulated with no small amount of annoyance but in the end she was not in charge here and had no intention to be.

"If you'd rather go now, I will stay with the horses so that we don't become victims of theft ourselves. You can signal me if my skills are needed. Saida can mend some injuries but anything truly grievous I fear will require the blessings of my own Patron."

She tucked her ashy salve back into her bag and waited, patting her horse on the neck. At first the creature had seemed quite reluctant to carry a dragonkin but with the elf-woman's assistance Rhindani was learning better horsewomanship.

The World of Lasgoul

@BlackFlag tbh I am not sure. In an advanced RP I am used to much bigger posts than this. Like at least four or five paragraphs per person unless there is lots of dialogue or blow-by-blow action going on. This one is turning out to be pretty "free" style. Typically people on the forum settle into a turn-based rotation rather than one person posting in between everyone else so that everyone can get a chance to respond to action 1 before anyone moves on. I'm getting the feeling that half of the people here are used to chat-room style and the other half are used to forum-style.

@Lalliman I deliberately asked people to PM me in my interest thread purely to help keep the amount of interest I get a mystery. Only like one out of every ten people who respond to my interest check end up being someone whose preferences and style is generally a good match. I don't want people assuming that my dance card is full just because my thread is full of responses because in all honesty most of those don't pan out.

^ Ugh. I work like 5 minutes from NRG. I'm really hating everything that has to do with american football right now.
