I googled squirrel stabbing and was not disappointed.

@FantasyChic lmao, oh God no girl. You aren't in trouble. I love Josephine. I love to hate her when she is with Haakon, and I just adore her tender side when she is with Aziza. You're on spot with the portrayal. I just found that bit funny is all and had to comment. Meant to a while ago but I've been running ragged, so finally had the chance.

"I was under the impression the English were supposed to be prim, proper, and polite and so far, the only ones I've met have been nothing of the sort."

@FantasyChic

Oh to the contrary >.>

Prim: stiffly formal and respectable; formal, stuffy, strait-laced, prudish

Proper: truly what something is said or regarded to be; genuine; real, genuine, actual, true

Polite: having or showing behavior that is respectful and considerate of other people; well mannered, civil, courteous

The Keystones have been all these things in spades. Extending room and board, transportation, services, etc. Now nice is a completely different story. LOL

@Caits Being the Rper you don't normally see the advancements you make until much much later but to others, it is pretty obvious. Your posting quality has improved a lot since you joined this RP from what I have seen. You're delving deeper into your characters mind and touching on more than just what is on the surface. Even with Uni going on, you've got this.

@Caits Length and speed just come with experience is all. Been at this for a long time, so for me it is pretty easy to hammer something out that most would consider a long post. Especially if I am collabing and really enjoying myself. Most of my time spent Rping is Gming, that is a lot of technical stuff to keep up with, especially with how indept things get and how much every one of my Rp's cross over and affect the others. So when I get a chance to collab with someone and I am really enjoying myself I get to get all that pent up creativity out. It's damn cathartic; some freaking posts I am rendered to tears by the time I am done typing just because I finally got to get it all out lol

"I do try uncle," Peter said as he waited for Sgt. Walsh to get into the car. Glancing over towards Josephine and Haakon as they came over he motioned to the taxi that was behind the main car. "You two should be perfectly comfortable there. I do not wish to crowd Miss Tarek in her current emotional state," he said before stepping into the car and seating himself across from Aziza and Harry, waiting on his uncle to join them in the last available comfortable seat in the car. Resting his cane down he glanced out of the window and towards the barracks. He hoped that Vera was alright.

Aziza looked over towards Harry with a confused expression on her features. She had already repayed him? But how? She had done nothing in her mind to warrant that but she could only smile slightly as he squeezed her hand. Looking down at their hands hers turned over and she let her fingers lace with his own before resting her head on his shoulder. She felt comfortable around him and knew in time she would talk about what was bothering her but for now she wanted to push the thought aside, it brought panic and worry.

Peter caught the sight of the two out of the corner of his eye and smirked a bit, not a harsh one but warm and thoughtful. He had missed such simple exchanges since he had been gone but thinking on it, Vera had never been particularly warm. It wasn't that she was cold by any means but she was as proper as he. What little moments they had stolen were few and far between. Though he wondered just how much he cherished them because they were so rare. "Myself and my uncle will make sure that you two are sharing a room this evening, it looks like you could use the privacy," he said, not realizing what he said until the look washed over Aziza's face. Cocking a brow as he watched her blush and bit her bottom lip nervously. "Oh heavens, my mistake. A thousand pardons Miss Tarek, I assumed that you two were together. I do apologize."

Vera shook her head slightly. "He asked but I told him that I wouldn't, at least not then. Mind you I thought I would never have such an offer. It just wasn't who I was and most seemed to avoid me. Peter was different and I grew to care for him deeply. Yet it was more of a mutual respect, or so I thought until the proposal," Vera explained as she pushed the curls of her bangs from her brow.

"I didn't exactly refuse either though. I told him if he came back I would consider it seriously and we could start the courtship then. I thought perhaps he was only proposing because of our understanding of each other and the fact he was going to war. Then when I found out he died, I mourned him," she added, thinking back to the day the news had come. She had been far more devastated than she thought she could be but in the same breath, it didn't feel like she had lost a great love but a great friend. "Now that he has returned, I wonder if that is what he wishes to discuss come morning."

At Lauren's mention of her not throwing up she chuckled slightly. "My ability to process drinks has never been what one would call stellar," she said before sighing and letting out a small burp as she covered her mouth. She really shouldn't have drank.

Neema pulled out an old pair of glasses and placed them on the the tip of her nose. Taking Nora's hand she carefully turned it over and took a close look. "This is no simple brand," she said as she looked at it. Slowly as she turned Nora's hand over to look at the front of the branding her eyes widened. "There were more were there not? You are not the only one that has this mark," she said before letting her hand go and pulling the glasses off her face, folding them carefully and taking a seat.

She looked confused, and more than that, intrigued. "Such stories I have heard, from my grandmothers grandmother. Tales passed down through the generations but kept within the families. The mark of Bastet is not one to take lightly," she said before looking over towards Nora and locking eyes with her. Leaning forward slowly her jovial side seemed to vanish. "An au unna ni Peta, en Ta: resu meh mehta, meh amenta, meh abta; U-en-kua em kshat-ten. Nuk eh-b em maat-pv; un mit-a nem."

Sunie was about to say something and then the phone went dead, shaking her head she hung up and ran her fingers through her hair. Making a quick note about the payment and such so it was taken care of she then placed her books back beneath the counter. Taking a long breath she looked around the front area before pushing the curtain aside and looking into the back. She had something's to clean up now. She wasn't going to bother with getting in contact with Sana or Lola for that matter. It wouldn't have been a fruitless endeavor. Sana would have said it wasn't her mess, which it wasn't and bring Lola back would have only made things take longer than her doing it herself. She loved her sisters but they were a handful and she wondered at times if maybe she should start pushing them to find work elsewhere. It wasn't as if they weren't a help around the place but sometimes she had to wonder if it was really worth the trouble.

Stepping into the back she got to work on straightening up, having things out of place just made when she was working take even longer because she was either searching for something or moving something out of her way. Best to just get it over with. As she cleaned she knew she had to keep her sisters working there, and get on their training more. She wouldn't always be around and she needed to pass on her knowledge just like the knowledge had been passed on to her. Someone would have to take over for her one day otherwise the shop would just fade away. There were so few jobs these days and it was hard to make money, it was best to try to keep things going.

Flipping on one of her monitors she set it to breaking news and kept the signal going in the back while she worked. She figured it would be good enough to have some background noise and to see if anything was going on. If there were attacks or something happened that was violent chances were there would be a run on her shop from both sides wanting to amp up their current collection of protection. It tended to happen, people liked to panic, or at least have some excuse to get one more gun. She wasn't going to complain though, it keep her family housed and fed. Once the place was straightened up, she sat down and got to thinking about the blueprints she had been shown, how she was going to go about it, and how to start. Once an idea was in her mind, she got to work.

@Oliver Then do something about it. People get bored with a scene they change scenes. We have characters all over the place. Ryan and Chloe left the party, so did others. Heck we had one steal stuff and get escorted out. The posts are what you make it. Changing the day isn't going to change your character unless you do it. Heck my last thing for Froggy was asking why he couldn't sleep. I got a few lines. If this is something that is really screwing with the kid, do deeper. Don't just throw a post up as soon as it is your turn, take a few an dig. If you aren't pushing your counter and no one is waiting on you, take a day or two to think it out. Your character as a long detailed character sheet, use that beyond he is sick. He likes drawing, why isn't he constantly sketching things? Likes classical music, why isn't he with Riley looking for music now or earlier in the day? Coming up with riddles? Seeing if anyone has a book he can read? His "sickness" shouldn't be all consuming, you are just making it that way. Ray is missing a leg but he is out there pushing to be with people and interact with more than a few words. Ceil has relations with these people now, you can easily work with that. There is plenty he can do, the day isn't going to change that. Only you are.

And Caits is right. We might have Rped 2 days out since you joined but it has been 8 months in RP. That time jump was there for character development, to let people heal and get better, to move things forward. All days are this slow in RP, some even more so. Larger the group, the more characters, the more time it takes to get through a day. That is one reason collabs are encouraged. (And why I have rules in place to make sure they don't hold things up) - Collabing allows people to go back and forth much quicker, if Sigil and I had kept ours posts to just separate, it would have been a lot more posts and would hold up the RP getting through things. When people are 1 on 1 talking in a collab you move at a more realistic pace as far as RP time goes. The Rpers here are damn good, and pretty laid back even if it is a high casual/advanced RP. They are open to most anything.

As far as age goes, that has nothing to do with anything in my mind. I treat each Rper the same no matter the age. And you are hardly the youngest I have dealt with in RP, even on this forum. Part of Rp is learning and growing and frankly I usually prefer them younger because then they are more open to learning. (Not only that but their comprehension goes up a lot faster.)

With length I only laugh. I don't even see these are long posts, but that is me. These are medium length to me. This RP is labeled as High Casual to Advanced. Should see some of the stuff that has been posted. Char and I have done collabs for other Rp's that were 90k in characters long. I have NRP posts that maxed out the characters allowed during a post. Many of which are linked on my profile page which you have been on numerous times. If I am under 60k, it's a medium post. If it is under 6k, it is short. That's me, how I write. Whether someone posts 100 words or 10,000 we read it. Yeah, it may take you some time but up that time factor by at least 10 and then you will know how long it took them to actually put it together. So the reading of it is simply nothing in the grand scheme.

As far as what you were or were not expecting when you joined, I have to call bull. This RP had been running some time before you joined. The original OOC post laid things out in detail, the CS is a monster compared to most, and there were tons of post up when you joined (Many Collabs already in the RP that were plenty long) - So for this to be an issue now, I don't buy it other than you had chip on your should about something and decided to take it out here.

Again, the day might change but nothing for your character will unless you change it yourself.

@Oliver Your character has been given plenty but the sickness it the only thing that ever comes up. Even with his design he shouldn't be that sick so often. He's been on meds since he arrived in Newnan and yet has just as much illness as when he arrived.

Yes, it is your fault if your character doesn't progress. It's up to you as an rper to progress the character. Not mine, not anyone else's. Yours. People keep trying to talk to him, he gives short answers and the posts keep being the same thing - He's sick. That's on you.

And why the complaints now? Ravi and Gavin have nothing to do with Newnan, Ryan and Chloe talking to each other, nothing to do with your character. Zoie and Richard didn't when everyone arrived in Newnan. Those are there for those rpers to push their characters forward. Without posting back and forth every day.

And you got bunnied off screen because you were gone, that was done as a favor to keep you in the rp while you dealt with private matters. And when you came back you weren't even sure if you were gonna post. We weren't gonna keep having a character on screen that wasn't going to be posted. It's as simple as that.

And yes, it is needed to read. It's part of Rp. Read first, then post. Doesn't matter if it never has anything to do with you character. Everyone reads your post even though they aren't responding to it, and they know what it will be - he's sick. But you don't hear them complaining. Cause that's your thing, you posted, they read it.
