Fae Courtis: The Wylde Hunt (Reboot)

@Prince of Seraphs The constellation thing was for Adelon, not this rp. ^.^;; Just something else I did that got incorporated somewhere, to my immense pleasure.

For Sini's lack of significant dislike, I'm going off of her preference for prioritizing long-term benefit and her considering nature. Yes, she might have a knee-jerk reaction to Tuatha de Danann. If she suspects they are planning something, it is for the reasons you stated. But a little tolerance can go a long way to avoiding future trouble, and if you treat someone who is often an outcast with simple courtesy they are likely to regard you well. And as you yourself have mentioned, Raven wasn't around when her kind let the fey down. Not to mention that, historically, there was a war and the Tuatha de Danaan did win, if at a price. They were arrogant and foolish, but Sini herself has fallen into that trap. Especially with the Fir Bolg teaching humans how to fight fey, I believe she judges the scorned retreat the wise decision, even though it was an unpopular one.

So yeah, instinctive bias but tempered by deliberate consideration.

Adelon: Steeling the Faith [Open!]

@AlexStarsion Nothing wrong with a bit of filler...and Amune should be getting sent back soon enough. If Ethan can convince her to go. And Greggy is more than welcome to have some righteous fury, even after Amune is on her way. I mean, Nymira made the girl cry, so that makes it worse, right? ^.^

Vena says he can. I'm hoping he's right. She's a stubborn child. *amused*

Adelon: Steeling the Faith [Open!]

Amuné thought Ethan was being silly for drinking something if he really didn't like it. It wasn't like food where you absolutely needed it. Alcohol was a treat, or something like it. If he didn't like it, someone else at the table would make sure it didn't go to waste. Not like brussel sprouts, where nobody wanted them but everyone had to eat them.

He told the two newcomers how they met, but Nymira disputed his version. "Hey, we didn't -- Norman asked!" She was quick to leap to Ethan's defence. "If you didn't want someone coming to help then why'd you cook up that ridiculous plan with him?! /You/ set it up, /you/ tricked us, /you/ wouldn't accept no." Even if they hadn't really said no, it was still Nymira's doing, the girl believed. She agreed, they were all friends. Well. Almost. "I'm still not friends with Zander," she grumbled, folding her arms and frowning. Magi or not, she didn't like him.

Her expression turned to one of confusion as the Dimuran responded. "Retainers? We're not retainers, we're travellers. Even if we're together because it's easy, even you will go off on your own, that doesn't mean we can't be friends. Travellers team up all the time -- my daddy, he came from a whole caravan of travellers! And they were all friends and family. It's better to...be...." The child's words slowed to a stop as Cecil got to his feet. His face was blank. The Machina wasn't always the easiest to read, but he'd been mostly uncertain and doubting himself, from what she'd heard since the awful fight the day before. Just because he scared her didn't mean she didn't worry about him. If her Sight was as dangerous as his strength, she'd be doubting too. She'd hurt when she couldn't trust herself to keep it secret, when it had gotten her family in trouble and when she had to always worry she might slip up and lose Ethan.

The leader of their little band was already on his feet, though he didn't seem so steady, and he was heading after Cecil. Amuné turned to the arrogant princess. How would she have felt, if she'd been told that no one cared about her and they'd leave her behind without a thought, back when she'd just been found out, before she'd truly felt safe with them? The Machina was struggling and confused, and he hadn't sorted things out yet -- how could Nymira say something like that? How could she sit there and act like it didn't matter, shrugging it off instead of apologizing. "You're mean!" the girl exclaimed, leaping to her feet so suddenly that Wyth was immediately standing beside her, looking around for anything that might be a problem. "You just -- how could you?" Her voice rose and tears filled her eyes. "I thought you were okay, but you're nothing but a...a big fat meanie! And I don't want to be your friend anymore!"

With that Amuné turned and dashed after the two that had already departed, almost knocking over one of the approaching barmaids in the process. Wyth followed her out onto the street, and together they caught up with Ethan.

@Belle Rping is acceptable only if you find it relaxing. If it stresses you, then GET OUTTA HERE. *makes you some nice tea* And I hope your grandma will be okay. *huggle*

Fae Courtis: The Wylde Hunt (Reboot)

@LadyRunic A slight clarification. I believe @Prince of Seraphs said that Falk's actions were only suited to wooing a desperate /lady/, not that Falk was desperate. The implication is that he's slightly insulting Arys. The counter that he hasn't seen reason to take a bride and that his choice is praise in some ways remains true.

Sini: Still not wooing her, though. Wooing is /before/ you propose marriage -- and generally with the intent for her to fall in love. *amused but also concerned*
Max: Did he just -- why would...O.o That's no way to treat a lady! T.T *clenches fists, and then does a double-take* Wait, there's concern that she'd /accept/?! ...You people are awful!
Sini: Not awful. Just different. You should try to be more /tolerant/, Max. Isn't that one of the things you preach, tolerance of those who are not the same as you?

Fae Courtis: The Wylde Hunt (Reboot)

@Prince of Seraphs <3 YOU READ THE LORE! *squees* You make my little writer's heart flutter, you do. First a story for a constellation became actually based on historical canon, and now my pixie/sprite feud?! *facecling*

I think Sini might have a taught wariness and perhaps a bias against Raven and her kind, but she wouldn't be rude. It'd be interesting to play with that.

Rereading the initial post, it doesn't seem that fey as a whole are unable to lie outright. In fact, it's implied they are, as otherwise the bit about "asked a question thrice, and a Fae must answer honestly" wouldn't make sense. Some fey with an inability to lie could be fun, though! And certainly if they have a reputation for being unable to lie people are more likely to believe what they appear to be saying without looking at it closer.

@LadyRunic Can you confirm on whether fey can lie or not? My take is that they can, though they may choose instead to use technical truths to deliberately mislead.

RPGC #10: The Moon!

@Terminal I love that song. <3 *sings Dancin' in the Moonlight* o/`

Yeah, I will possibly write a few things or rewrite some old things (toon world and the wrong side of the page are gloriously sensible in a senseless sort of way~) for this. <3 *wiggles*

RPGC #10: The Moon!

@RomanAria We'll have to see what I come up with. ^.^;;

It's unfortunate there's not standard criteria voters should take into account for this, because that makes it very hard to aim to win in terms of votes. I mean, obviously the skill level of the story is going to be a significant portion, but other things that play into it -- what specifically people feel makes a story better suited to this particular contest -- would help. I can't help but think that if the theme doesn't play a significant role that votes will be scarce.

How does the voting itself work?

Fae Courtis: The Wylde Hunt (Reboot)

I mentioned this to Melo, but I dunno if he's interested. ^.^;;

RPGC #10: The Moon!

@RomanAria

I'm looking at this, and I have a couple questions. Firstly, I take it this is more of a popularity contest, as the guildfolk vote on winners, yes? Secondly, for the theme. Must the story focus upon the moon, include it as a noticeable object/theme, just make passing mention of it...? I gather it's limited to one entry per person?
