Come on guys. While Asura could have worded his post to sound less sassy, you all don't need to antagonize him. We want a friendly atmosphere here! :D (I would have done :sun, but the smiles are not coded yet).

Yea, I take full blame for this whole mess, I just ended up a bit impatient and made the suggestion that triggered it. You have my apologies on that.

Phew, home at last! Reading with my students this week went much better than the last. uvu My apologies, Asura! I know what it's like to be left behind (most of my closest online friends live on the opposite side of the globe, so timezones get in the way a lot), and I'm sure we'll be more mindful of it in the future if you'd like to continue! As for right now, as Windel said, you're welcome to have Lorne follow after Marianne and join the current little group there if you'd like? Otherwise, I can always offer up Rylan for interaction as well! ( ouo)/

I have a feeling that I'll grow to swoon over the first female I interact with in the RP...

> I have a feeling that I'll grow to swoon over the first female I interact with in the RP... Well, depends on who you see how well that would work out. > Phew, home at last!

( ouo)/ Well, you have my respect as one who deals with those maddening little beasts called children. I can't stand them, but thankfully, the Navy life doesn't have much dealings with kids. Not my part of it, at any rate.

> Well, depends on who you see how well that would work out. > I suppose. But making one that doesn't work out works is always a good fling, right?

> > Well, depends on who you see how well that would work out. > > > > > I suppose. But making one that doesn't work out works is always a good fling, right? Hmm, valid point I suppose. But some of the gals in this group might not take well to that kind of thing.

> So your a teacher than Rosa? Working on becoming one! ouo Right now, I'm just volunteering at two elementary schools to read with kids every week. > Well, you have my respect as one who deals with those maddening little beasts called children. I can't stand them, but thankfully, the Navy life doesn't have much dealings with kids. Not my part of it, at any rate. It's definitely not everyone's thing, and I was honestly _surprised_ to discover that I quite liked them because I didn't think it was my kind of thing either for a while. :'DD Truthfully, I don't think I'd be able to handle younger kids very well, but I do like the grade 3-5 range! They're generally not too bad! ovo ...My experiences with younger age groups at summer camp were a completely different matter. |:

I dont remember much from 3-5 range very well, barely at all actually. But that is neither here nor there. Younger kids I cant stand either, so its all good there.

> Well, you have my respect either way. I dont remember much from 3-5 range very well, barely at all actually. But that is neither here nor there. Younger kids I cant stand either, so its all good there. Haha, thank you. ;; I actually considered teaching high school, but I...wasn't sure if that would be better or worse + ...pretty sure all high school students tower over me so that's kind of awkward. In either case, how is Navy life? I can't say I know much about it, nor do I actually know anyone in the Navy. u__u

I can't say I know much about it, nor do I actually know anyone in the Navy. u__u Its had its pro's and con's, like anything really. I can't speak nearly as much as some people, I'm still in training (Been that way for over a year now Dx). I'm aiming for officer though, got some ideas on how to hop tracks right now (Being enlisted currently). I'd say its been a good choice for me, taking everything so far into consideration. Steady pay, housing, medical and dental provided, education options, overall works well for me. Even if I'm going to vanish for periods of time once I get to a real command instead of training (Submarine volunteer, personally).

> Hmm, valid point I suppose. But some of the gals in this group might not take well to that kind of thing. I'm sure Adam'll end up a frog. But I'll take that. I once tried to get a character to become in a relationship with a siren.

Forgive me for sounding ignorant (because I honestly probably am u__u), but that does sound pretty neat! No doubt that it's not for everybody, but it's good to hear that you think it's a good choice for yourself! I kind of wobbled around aimlessly for my early high school years until I settled on teaching, so it's always nice to feel like you've found something that suits you well! > > I once tried to get a character to become in a relationship with a siren. > > Consider me curious on how that one worked out.

Hmmm, sounds like a very strange relationship.

> I drifted for a year or so post high school, settled on the Navy, and been moving forward ever since. Aah, that's good! ovo I hope for the best for your Navy life! > > > I'm assuming it didn't end in your character dying, VK. > > > > > > ...I...I'm assuming. > > > > He died, emotionally. > > > > But he was "successful" and "failed" at the same time. > > Hmmm, sounds like a very strange relationship. Strange indeed! Complicated relationships are always fun to RP out though, that's for sure~ P:

More details to come if there are interest. Personally, it created a lovely memory for me. :)
