You're right. I was not expecting things to go they way they did. I was reading and in the back of my mind, I kept wondering when the slip up would happen, so to speak. But as I kept reading and considering Botan's view on lying and how much fun Kurama's company has been even in the short span of time. So it does make sense, even if it was a spontaneous choice on your part, which I do think is fun to add when neither of us expect it after planning or say, stressful days. So this did bring a nice smile and warmth to my heart, considering how crappy/offensive a family member had been a few days ago. So thank you. :3

I'm really not mad at all, yeah it may feel sudden but these characters are more self-aware than the others we've written as (save for maybe Lin, Tenzin and Kakashi perhaps) and more mature. It gives Botan something to consider. She doesn't like lying to people but to Shiori, it feels even more awful. Botan doesn't know what the future could hold for her and Kurama, she doesn't want to give false hope and make things painful later on. But she does know that she and Kurama have been hitting it off, despite the challenges around them. So it'll be interesting to write the progress of the post and the consideration coming full circle.

There's really nothing I hate though. It was a very good surprise. Job well done!

With such a photogenic couple like Botan x Kurama, it's hard not to enjoy some dramatic rambling haha.

And yes, please do. <3

I think we're making a bigger fuss than we need to but I'll follow the approach of ranking. XD

8. Belfast
7. Glasgow
6. Seoul
5. Dorset
4. Gumi
3. Leeds
2. Jeonju
1. Geoje Island

It looks as through our top 3-4 are looking like the UK but that doesn't mean we could eventually wind up in say Korea. I mean who knows how the magic might work, one tree in the fantasy world may take the heroes somewhere else in the world that we know now. But then again that might be adding too much to the pot already. Personally I'd be cool with Belfast or Glasgow and it seems like Glasgow might be the route to go. I think when I saw your suggestion, I already knew we'd be going with that.

So we have the setting in order, we could narrow down the colleges/universities where our characters would be coming from.

Not really lol I was just shooting the shit too, so to speak.

You should go do something, even just walking around the block and seeing other stuff can be refreshing and invigorating. Or cooking, I found cooking to be enjoyable and you get to feed to yourself. Win win. And yeah, I thought I already mentioned I have some time to myself. ^^;

There's also the moonlight...must be a sexy glow about him...

But coping isn't living. :/ And on Wed I should have the house to myself for about two weeks. I wouldn't say I'm busy but things are still pretty hectic with construction and family shiz.

Of course and when the wind gently rustles his hair, it'll be even more obvious. :3

Aww, well if you don't like to go out, that's up to you. Of course fresh air tends to not hurt either.

Sapphire Roses

I'm looking forward to it.

And yep, we had a nice time, though Penny Dreadful is still confusing even three episodes in. -___-' Still, the company was nice and that's what counts.

How was your weekend?

Bump.

Magic in These Hands (DA: I inspired)

@XSilentWingsX Our characters would need other alleys and assets, spies, etc. So if further down the line someone wishes to tack on minor side roles, they're welcome to. A pure mage is fine by me, they're always stylish. In terms of a mage's place in the world, they're seen more 'equal' in Balka, whereas in Relle, the magical users are considered slightly 'holy' or esteemed. I'd say there's no religion in Balka, some may follow that in Relle but generally most in Balka consider themselves 'enlightened' in the sense that they don't cling to myths or prophets and use their time/energy more wisely. And when it comes to Balka blaming the rifts on Relle's worship of religion, it's more of a mockery, but it would certainly cause some to reconsider their views on not practicing a religion.

@VitriolicQuill And hello hello (again). It's so sad that roleplays downplay the aspect of romping around a forest and looking for things and helping lost travelers. I know it can be pushed to the side for action but exploration is a fine endeavor so I am hoping our group can have fun while staying interested/motivated.

@The Roman07 I would say the basic races (maybe minus the Qunari because they're not really needed) would still apply since this is also a fantasy tale. I would say racism would be pretty downplayed though (no 'knife ear' comments for example) as people are more looked upon for their skills than their ancestry/origins. Of course you can still have someone who dislikes or is made uncomfortable by a race but it just wouldn't be as common or as 'accepted to discriminate'. Does that make sense? There probably won't be Lyrium in the story, unless the majority want it. Not that I don't but I'm trying to select the least amount of clutter from DAI (to me that would be the Chantry, sorry Leliana! Among other technical details). In terms of power level, I should just consider skill level since we're not keeping stats or skills on too tight of a leash. I'd say they would be pretty good fighters considering they leaped into the fray without blinking an eye.

Though with you on a phone and without a laptop, I do worry about you being able to crank out the expected amount. Not that it's impossible but...a good sized paragraph does look different depending if you're on a small screen or a normal one. ^^; And element aside, did you consider a stab-y sort of role or a character more into long distance archery or...?

@eloraczyr In regards to you asking about the OOC, one will likely be made tomorrow afternoon or evening.

To All: Considering I have more possible writers than intended (better than fewer haha) I will accept side/advisory roles. They'd still be main characters and along for the ride and they can still have magical skills but they just wouldn't be closing rifts so hey, less of an occupational hazard. These "side/advisory" roles would have special connects to other allies/spies/resources etc.

Thoughts guys?

@POOHEAD189 Thanks for letting me know at least. ^^

@eloraczyr I'll tag you in the other threat!

@VitriolicQuill And since you found me in the other thread already, I'll talk to ya there.
