Yeah guys, sorry for my…radio silence here, but I've never been the chattiest person, especially when it comes to forum discussions. I dunno, I guess I don't like typing up big paragraph posts to talk cause I'd rather just say a sentence then wait for a response, you know? When I log on here and see that all of you have posted like 3 or 4 paragraphs I'm like "Damn, how do they do it?" But I'll try to be more communicative.

My weekend has actually been pretty good so far. Nice, relaxing, getting some shit done. But guys, what's a MOT? I have no idea lol.

I'll apologize too >-<

I guess discussions make me a tad nervous, so I tend to shy away from them especially if they're serious. I'll try to contribute more.

Tae, I hope your mom feels better D: and best of luck with everything guys <3 may you all have a grand weekend.

I'll have a post up ASAP and anyone here read Uzumaki? (^w^)/ Rex, I bet you'd like this.

Clicky Clicky

Edit: Posted :D

MOTs are a yearly legally required car test to make sure your car is road worthy (and to filch more money out of yas). Got to have MOTs done and passed otherwise you could go to jail. Mine failed; I need to fix the steering which is more money. Woohoo :|

No. No. No, no, NO. Don't even start this.

And yes, Rex would love it.

This site has all of Junji Ito's manga stories. You'll love it, Fox 8D. This story is just... brr. Really, really good horror/suspense stories.

HOLY SHIT @ IC

omg omg omg omg omg omg *manly tears everywhere* omg

Not surprised you like Uzumaki too, Fox! Pacman showed that to me sometime ago and I... I think the writer is on drugs.

I dislike posting on the ooc when I'm feeling unwell, in that I usually come off as rude or defensive like it has every other time lol. But I'll communicate here more often when things brighten up. I apologize if I've held anyone back or led to any confusions lately.

I'm still cackling at Pacman's latest post though, lmfao. Freddie will be a good father to Delan.

EDIT: Whoop, post is up now.

Well I wrote that IC fast lmao. Having a blaaaaaassssstttttttt!

I forgot to say this earlier, but Pandy yeah, I'm the same. Discussions kinda scare me, thanks to a long history of making a tit of myself in them. But I'm trying to contribute more, I'm just spending pretty much forever constantly rewriting a post for the OOC to try and make sure I'm making myself as clear as I can. Because I'm pants at making myself clear sometimes lmao.

Typing up a post now! I'm rather guilty of skipping out on OOC discussions as well, mostly same reasons as Michi uvu I'll try to post more here as well!

Also, I'm envisioning the Grande Diamond to look something like casino Monte Carlo on the outside but a bit taller :D

I guess all I can say about being anxious about OOC discussions is, have the confidence to state your opinions and stand by them, and be willing to change that opinion if you're presented with a reasonable argument/evidence. I get very nervous when I talk about something that's bothering me in the RP and I've reacted defensively in the past, but there's this saying, (I'm heavily paraphrasing) "If you don't speak up for yourself, someone else will speak for you, and you might not like what they have to say." The more tense discussions usually come from some combination of a) Reacting defensively and interpreting comments as being aimed towards you specifically, 2) Posting your very initial reaction, 3) Not making the other person(s) feel like you understand where they're coming from, at least a little. You don't need everyone to agree with you, but if you're really concerned/bothered by something, no one will ever know unless you say something. And by not saying anything, you might think you're alone in your feelings (or you might make someone else think that way), which is a pretty shitty feeling to have.This RP takes all of us getting along and communicating effectively, it can't thrive if more than half of us are afraid to have a serious discussion about it.

I read up on the IC this morning but I need a refresher, I'll be getting a post up soon.

Edit: Between this chapter and my mom constantly trying to get me to move to Las Vegas, I'm looking forward to being done with casinos after this, haha...

<3 Junji Ito is amazing. Have you read Yami no Koe or Shin Yami no Koe, Rex? 8D

(^w^)/ Hey guys, hope you have a grand mornight.

OTL, I went directly for the IC and posted. Tae, if I ninja'd you or anything, I'm sorry, and I'll totally edit if I wound up interfering. (^w^)/ *salutes* just say the word.

How goesssss the day? :3 and that building is so pretty.

Nope, no interference, it's cool!

I wish I could have posted much earlier today so I could ask Pach some questions first, but I led into it a bit in my post. I'd really like to try and post as soon as possible after Pach tomorrow to basically "finish" my post, I'll attempt to write it before my class starts. I'll call the post and let you guys know if there will be a delay, but that means that ninja-ing should definitely be avoided in that situation. At the very least Pach knows what I'm getting at, but if the timing for that is off then definitely let me know and I'll edit as necessary, okay?

Ello ello all!

I wish I had more to add onto the discussion of... er... having discussions, but Tae summed up all the points well. I value everyone's input on things and it helps make things easier for me and more fun for all you guys! ^o^ So don't ever be afraid of speaking your mind. Have confidence! Afterall, I have confidence in all of you otherwise I wouldn't have invited you to this rp and you wouldn't be here right now 8D

Kathi's picture sums up my thoughts on the building nicely! As she said, it'd be a bit bigger too in height, but as far as aesthetics go, that's perfect!

I have a pretty clear picture of what it looks like on the inside but have no idea how to explain without spoiling future stuff. Hmms, I just hope my description will be good enough XD

My post is leading into... well. You guys know the nine circles of hell?

This is the tenth.

Hope everyone's having a great day! <3

Alright, from now (10:00AM PST) to my class starting (12:45PM PST) I'm going to be working on my post (and getting ready for school/riding the bus, etc.) so I'm calling next. Unless that span of time is absolutely the only time you can post, I'd appreciate it if everyone waited until I'm done? You'll have a heck of a lot more to write about after that anyway, so :p

Edit: Post is about 60% done, I have to wait until I get to school to finish it. I'll definitely have the rest up by my deadline.

Hey Tae! Enjoy school! ^o^ Looking forward to your post! |D Muehuehuehuehuehue...

MUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Of course my bus ran late because people can't freaking have their fare ready beforehand, uuuggh. I'll get to school in time to post, but proofreading is probably gonna go out the window -_-

And thanks Pach, speech class should be good, my teacher said his students usually really like this particular lecture, it's called "Subway from Hell" and I *think* it's about when he was on a Japanese subway, but I'm just guessing since he mentioned that at the beginning of the semester.

Hope you all have a spiffy day!

Edit: There was a lot more I wanted to write but I just got to my class :S Still, hope you guys enjoy!

'Spiffy' day? You turning british on us? XD

I never proofread my posts 8] As soon as I finish writing it I upload it, so... apologies if anyone stumbles upon errors? lololololol

Hey I won't be able to catch up on the IC's for a little while, but I just wanted to leave this here.



Holy fuck holy fuck holy fucking fuck.

I mean damn it looks great but X-Movies you've burned me before!

It is going to be absolutely terrible :/ That trailer filled me with no confidence at all and... yeah. Bridging the original terrible X-Men trilogy with the terrible First Class is just... yeah. Will be bad. D:

Ice-Man tho :0

Also 8D Tae's post

Those pictures

lololololol

But still, Jennifer Lawerence and Michael Fassbender…I mean…they're so good! And the music is very good….

Ugh, it's one of my favorite stories in X-Men history. But I have no confidence in Singer. Gah.

Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver Avenger shots.
