Current DinoBlade is seriously making me imagine an even more hardcore version of Dinotopia, and it's getting distracting.

It is with my fondest resolution to have an impact on as many lives as possible in mind that I say "BREATHE MANUALLY NOW!" Okay thanks. Now back to writing things only I can enjoy.

I get the impression that it's best to put as much info into the interest check as possible, just so players know what they're getting themselves into as soon as possible.

Woouldn't you know that work picks up just when things are getting good. But I'm nothing if not stubborn when it comes to my crazy ideas.

Yes but that which doesn't drown you can make for an unforgettable Summer (or Autumn, whatever).

Greetings visitor! I hope you're having a good day! Whether you've seen me around the guild or not, I should admit that it's only been within year-6 of my time on this site that I've bothered to start work on this here "bio". I feel like I should apologize for not making it a higher priority much sooner, but lately I've adopted that "better late than never" mindset when it comes to introductions, and besides, I doubt there was much to tell in my early years anyway. I'm pretty much an amateur writer who got my start as a minor tag-along player in a fandom AU campaign ran by a small, close-nit remnant of a community formerly in association with a notable strategy-gaming youtuber. I'm being vague for brevity's sake. In the end, I value my first exposure to roleplaying as a personal learning experience more than anything, as I'm definitely the kind of person that sequesters themselves in any given community they find themselves in and RPG is certainly no exception.

That pretty much explains what I've been up to for the last several or so years, with only occasional public posts from me, as private 1x1 roleplays are easily where the lion's share of my attention goes to. Details regarding my particular interests and even approach as a prospective partner can be found in the interest check I update very rarely, but if you'd like to have a link to it or want to work with me in a similar capacity, then PMs are the best way to reach me. As for what you can expect in very broad terms, I'll say that I'm a 90s kid who'd grown up on Nintendo and Cartoon Network where, thanks to Toonami, I've developed an appreciation for the Japanese style of animation, a style that commonly influences my own creative endeavors to this day. That is in no way to say that I'm an avid watcher of anime and the like (I have my tastes and while that does sometimes coincide with what's current, it usually doesn't), just that I gravitate toward the ludicrous, extraordinary concepts and settings they commonly facilitate. That style aligns with what excites me creatively. That's the long and short of it. Exceptions do exist of course.

I'm around.
Alright guys. I'll have to call it for the day. Thanks for the patience. :)

"Yeah, yeah," Cecilia said with a big and silly grin. Looking up at the others, she couldn't help but think of how good a picture of this would look like. She was fairly certain she hadn't told anyone this, but that flip book really was the first time she had shown anyone her work. But Ivory made her seriously consider letting others see her drawings more often. She continued petting Neric, quietly cheering Ivory on when she joined in by petting the Void's head. Cecilia was content to spend the rest of the break like this.
@deerling@Mangrale
Cecilia's joy was quite palpable. She could hardly contain it. But she managed pretty well. "I'm glad you like it! Take your time alright?" she said. This felt like an achievement in and of itself. But for fear of ruining the moment, Cecilia tried to quietly pick out a chair nearby, nodding at James to join her. "I'm relieved we went with the fruit then. I'd be more than happy to take the dishes back when you're done, alright?" She could rest easy with the most nerve-wracking part now over. She looked to James for a moment, nostalgically remembering a promise she made on the first day. He may have forgotten, be she hadn't. And few things would make her happier than for James to make friends here as well. Just then, Neric hopped on onto the table, taking the form of a bunny, which coaxed a good chuckle from her. "Aww Neric, you were feeling neglected, weren't you?" she teased, her hand coming over to pet him around the back.
@LiegeLord@deerling
Cecilia wasn't all that happy with herself that she had disturbed Ivory like she had when they first met, but was still very happy to see her. "I know you said you didn't want anything, but you see: James insisted and I really couldn't say no," she joked as she looked to James as she stepped closer and set the plate down for her, her eyes softening. "I'm just kidding... I insisted. I hope you don't think I'm stubborn or did I this because I don't care how you feel. I really wanted to do this for you and so did James. There are times when I also feel uncomfortable in crowds and I just couldn't do nothing. I hope you understand... you don't have to eat if you really don't want to."
@LiegeLord@deerling
Cecilia felt silly having forgotten about dessert, but liked James' choice nonetheless, giggling as they left the dining hall. She was half expecting them to be stopped for trying to bring food outside, but the fact that they weren't came as a pleasant surprise. Still though, she kept her focus down to the plate, not wanting to let anything slip by her not paying attention. "Yeah you're right. I guess I really shouldn't be as nervous as I am now, huh?" she lightly admitted, taking a moment to look his way. Anxious as she was though, she took a good deal of strength having him beside her. Stepping into the workshop, she scanned for Ivory around where she had left her. "I-Ivory? We're back..."
@LiegeLord
Sorry about the slow post rate. My internet has been really dropping the ball today.
@LiegeLord
Cecilia had reached over to take some utensils while she heard James make hos point. "I-I don't quite know her tastes. I'm just guessing with the fruit... Um, maybe the grilled chicken will be a good choice," she wondered aloud, deciding on two choice pieces unless James had another idea. As the last of her suggestions she'd hover over the macaroni, particularly the cheesy and elbow kind, smiling back at James. If he was intent on having her make the choices, she felt pretty good about these, though she wouldn't mind if he wanted to pick something also. "I think what we have should be enough," she would say by the end, holding the plate up to carry outside. "I hope she likes what we have."
@LiegeLord
Cecilia giggled when James reassured her about her project. She was pretty curious about what he made or at least planned to make. "Th-Thanks James. I try my best, but you just make it so easy. I always feel at ease around you," she said, looking up from her plate and tenderly at him. She sort of wanted to ask what brought this on from him, but she wasn't complaining. It felt nice for him to say so, and she couldn't help but resume her gaze. "Oh, r-right. We should get a move on," she said in agreement, taking James' hand and heading for the buffet once again, silently enjoying the walk over there. "I was thinking of giving Ivory some things that aren't too um exotic, something that she's sure to enjoy." Cecilia picked out some diced fruit and looked to James to pick out a main food item before they left for the workshop.
@LiegeLord
Would have looked at James skeptically after his fist statement if he hadn't chuckled after, perhaps with a look that read "you saying Ivory isn't talented?". But as it happened, she looked up with a shy smile when when she felt his foot playfully touch her own. "James," she daintily protested under a fair blush that grew a little when she gazed at him. It was his next question that seemed to break her out of it sightly as she thought of her little project. "O-Oh? W-Well it wasn't anything that special. I just kind of made a flip book out of a pack of sticky notes... I thought it would be something different and well, I'm just glad Ivory seemed to like it," Cecilia said looking down to her fork slowly dancing around her salad.
