He prefers to lurk in corners, all alone

Great, now I have Thriller stuck in my head

Kayla wandered off too XD

Oh please join mALX, please? If you get permission, of course!

If you don't at least ask to join mALX, I'll pull the puppy dog face on you

Seriously, I gotta ask. Where. Is. Illydoor?

Not sure. He hasn't been here though. How are we going to stall this long to wait for him to post without getting on with the expedition?

That first post was awesome. I was so excited.

COME BACK AND BE WITH US, ILLYDOOR!

Lets keep stalling the adventure until he decides to come back.

I think we're clogging the thread with our discussion XD Oh lord, I hope no one gets too angry.

SORRY Y'ALL! We're both bored and insomniacs, lol

On the bright side, our conversation is giving more time for Illydor and Pheonix to post

Looks like it, lol

I'm not sure we necessarily need to wait for Illydoor; he's kind of had a good chance to post up more stuff and seeing as he hasn't, well, he's kind of missed the boat.There's always somebody (usually several somebodies) who drops out of the RP towards the beginning, and that seems to be him; I don't really see the point in holding up everyone else just for one person's sake.

Hey DE, did Drakothemir leave for good?

Anyone is free to chat-up Lycus!

No backrubs!

So Drakothemir is gone? I wonder what "trouble" Lycus will bring...

You would wonder, wouldn't you?

Drakothemir is regretably absent. Lycus isn't a troublemaker and he certainly wouldn't want to manipulate or use those around him.

We're already outside the guild hall, so get out there XD

Okay children! Let's not clutter up the RP thread

XD

Sorry if Kayla seemed a bit anti-social last night. Bad night at work for me. Grumpy Liz=Grumpy Kayla, lol

/sigh


Westley and Kayla can go kiss and makeup!

Well, if you would POST we wouldn't be so bored and clog the thread XD

Kayla rather enjoyed the firm handshake she got from Lycus. First real handshake she's had in Cyrodiil XD

Side note: EW

I second Liz on that.

That's the Nord spirit!

I would post often, but I should be sleeping by now. I have to wake up super early and practice my swimmning laps right before work. Can't fail the test! But tomorrow afternoon I will be available.

Edit: But seriously, there is only so much that some of us can reply to. Sometimes I come back and there are tons of posts already. I can't simply reply to them all, though of course they are between other characters. It is why Uleni and Colonel raised the idea of having a posting order in the first place I suppose.

Don't get me wrong. Short posts are fine, but one liners and brief dialogue aren't usually accepted in RP's. At least the one's I've been to. The ones that are fine range from one or more paragraphs. But since it's the first time for some, and of course the rules for this RP might be different, I am not bothered by it as much

I COMPLETELY forgot about the posting order XD

EDIT: I can understand about not having too much time to post. I figured you knew I was joking. I think it's pretty obvious that only I have an insane amount of free time/spend said free time on the computer.

So sleep. Do life-related things.

Just know that I am lurking.

Waiting.

For an opportunity...

To do... something...

-loses focus and watches a plastic bag flutter in the wind-

In my post, I nudged things along so we can advance the plot proper and begin the real thing. If people think its a little rushed and want some more time getting to know each other, I'll edit it. But come on, I think we've interacted enough already. We have thirteen pages of that

Well, I was just waiting for you to post and then was going to get things moving myself, so that's fine.

I’m still learning the ropes here, of course. With quite a few players, it is challenging to finish conversations or really get to know the characters at this point. I expect that is why it has taken us so long to get to where our characters are just beginning to get a feel for each other. I’d like to hope that as they travel and adventure, they will learn more about each other and form the bonds that sharing hardship often spawns. I always prefer to focus on the journey over the destination, so this has been great fun so far.

That said, I see no reason that our skilled and patient GMs cannot nudge things into the next phase.

I’m also hoping that dear Elaninde will emerge just a bit more from her plate armor shell and share more of her thoughts and words with us. And, of course, I’m sorry to hear that Coin-Eye will not be joining our merry band.

Aaand the official briefing post is up. Q&A time will commence, and then we're all set to get going!

Any more questions people would like to ask, or shall answer them and continue with proceedings?

Nope.

Also, I have a 13 hour shift today. Take liberties if you must.

Well Springbutt. . . er, I mean Buffy's done. And it looks like Kayla, Westley and Lycus as well. Oedipus asked for questions about 48 hours ago so I'm guessing things are ready to move on? I suppose someone could jump in with a burning question after Oedipus answers if really necessary.

I figured I shoud just double-check first. Answer time is on its way!

Pale creatures? Not undead? Giant insects?

We face the Falmer!?

Rage!

Among other nasties, yes. Believe me, the Falmer are far from the worst of it.

BRING IT ON.

So angry right now.

I'm thinking of creating another character besides Ylenno. What do you think, GM? Is it still allowed?

Is this a joke?

Now that I think about it, yeah, it could be a joke. But I'm just giving you guys the heads up and asking for permission from the GM.

You are the GM, friend. You don't need to ask us! If anything PM Colonel and then surprise us.

Actually, no. Colonel's the GM now. We take turns you see. Kinda like a tag-team match. He now has the highest authority over us, at least until his turn over and mine comes again. I guess we could've told you guys earlier, so my apologies for the confusion.

Hmmm. I'm deciding right now if I should continue with this new character thing, since y'know, Illydoor and PhoenixGamer have become quiet recently..

The taking turns thing makes sense. Keeps from toe-stepping.

Do you really, really need a new character? Really? Honestly, look into your heart, Uleni. Don't inflict yet more chopping, changing and swapping of character on a GM who's had to deal with a lot of it as it is.

Please.

If Uleni gets another character, I WANT A NEW CHARACTER. >:-|

XD Just kidding. Kayla's a one-woman wolf pack.

Kraven likes her now.

-howls-

*dramatic standing on a cliff overlooking a raging ocean and a malevolent storm*

I have looked into my heart and I saw... I saw... What I saw there....

Sure, if you put it that way. *Le Shrug*

I'll take that as Ylenno's gonna stay!

its not as if I'll replace Ylenno and put him on a bus, exactly, but just add in a new one while keeping him in place.

I'm joking with you of course, Uleni. You need a character that speaks to your heart. And passes muster with Mustard of course.

I know, I know. I mean, Buffy'll probably skin my hide if her Bravillian brother disappears! XP

I'm a bit intrigued as of Liz's use of the word Ja. I wonder Liz, do you have any experience in Norwegian, Danish or Swedish?
