Tense and Perspective in Roleplaying

I wish I could give a more cognisant answer to your topic, my friend. But I'm a simple man with simple tastes. I always read my novels in third person, and so I write that way. Generally when my character's have thoughts, I put them in italics and even say "thought X character."

Phardax was not amused.

He had chosen the Goblins as his slaves because they could see the in the dark spaces of the world, and he knew as any dark elf would that they were loyal when cowed. He kept his flame whip on him every moment he could, and though they were digging well, they hadn't the tools to truly work as he had hoped. Perhaps further in they could find more resources, but as it were they simply had some abandoned picks and shovels left behind from a precursor who had long since fled the cave.

Admittedly, Phardax wished for pleasant company. The prisoner would do nicely, of course. But he trusted no one else with this little project. He smirked when one of the goblins dropped a small amount of ore, having made them create a pile upon the left as he watched from a perched position when he wasn't striding amongst them.

"Keep moving fool, lest I end you with hellfire!" He snapped, and he cackled when the goblin scrambled up, picked up the load he had dropped and sprinted like he had a dragon on his heels. As he watched, he noticed that Goblin was an outlier. Most had performed well, so far.

Perhaps these Goblins were making good time compared to what he had initially thought. He raised a manicured hand and two Goblins leaped over to their dark overlord. He ordered they fetch the prisoner, and to bring back some food and drink. He had filled himself from the spoils of the previous day, but he still felt a bit peckish.

Gold & Glory: AU thread

Markus was just glad Morgan showed up when he was still under the covers. Not that he had anything stiff to show, after two times on the cot. The captain took the sheet covering him and wrapped it around his waist like a kilt, or the bottom half of a robe.

"That's enough." Markus said, his face now once again the mask of determination that brooked no argument.

"But-" Morgan started, eyeing the woman and switching his eyes back to Markus, unsure of what was transpiring. Emmaline crossed her arms over her chest and gave Morgan a look that she likely thought was befitting a captain's woman. It almost made Markus snort. Oddly, he found her strange personality kind of cute, after her 'healing.' Of course, he still needed to get out of her who she really was, but at the moment she was on his good side and bed mate.

"I said 'enough'" Markus replied. "She saved my life and the crew's lives, and she's been a a fair prisoner all things considered. I don't care what happened earlier, she's to be shown at least some respect, as long as she gives it back." The last remark was said with a smirk, though it was that moment he almost fell back over. The healing and the...rest of it had him positively exhausted. Morgan looked worried, but Markus knew he'd feel right as rain tomorrow. "How's the storm, Morgan?"

"Just a light summer storm, lad." He said, sobering up. "First of the season, nothing to worry about."

"How many days until Sartosa?"

"It would have been three. But now five with the repairs." He replied, scratching his beard. Markus fell his ass down on the bed time on purpose, now. He reached for a jug of water and impressively downed the entire contents in a matter of seconds. He also felt positively famished.

"Make it four."

"Not to worry, my friend. I am just glad you're ok." Kayden said to his friend with a sweeping bow, extravagant even to those whom he was somewhat familiar with when it suited him. "Honestly I'm just as worried as your sibling I'm not certain where they are, but I'm sure they'll show up soon. A person has to eat, after all. In fact, let's head off the dining hall and see if we can grab some of that Garreg Mach food I've heard so much about. The Banquets here are said to be extravagant."

With that, Kayden led his fellow Eagle down the hallowed, winding halls of the veritable fortress they found themselves in, poking around for a bit and asking servants and staff directions until they made it just to the dining hall, which did not disappoint the debonair prince. The chamber was tall expansive, with long tables and fine silverware presented for any who sought to take a seat. The scent of food wafted toward his waiting nostrils, and an exuberant 'mmmm' escaped his lips.

He would go grab whatever food there was, but as he made his way to where he would serve himself, he saw Lienna, Auberon, and Kellen sitting with one another, and a strange fellow making his way off. He recognized him as Derec, but he had forgotten where he said he had come from. I'll find out later, I suppose he thought to himself. I need to keep better tabs on people. It was just at that moment that the thief that had flown under his radar sped past him into the dining hall, only to be tackled by the guards. Kayden guffawed at the spectacle, more than a little surprised at the sudden eruption of movement, and a thief at this place of worship, what's more! It was free entertainment, plus, he didn't see his fiance in sight!

"I'm going to go and say hello to our fellow students over at the table, Valerian." He said, and with his plate of food now full, he walked over there with a deliberate stride, poking his head over the group that congregated about the dining table. "Why hello! Mind if I join for some good conversation with my food? Don't feel pressured..." He assured them. "It might seem a bit odd for Eagles and Lions to sit together, but I thought I'd ask regardless."

@Mae Oh also Phardax would like Goblin imps, but if there are none, regular imps or succubus imps work fine. I just saw the tag on the IC post
