[OOC] A Land of Wonder and Nightmare

[kiiblade]

Realized I had written Mrs. Preston instead of Mrs. Saxon in my former post. I'm gonna blame the finals from last week! My brain's fried.

[Riven Wight]

^.^ So many ways their relationships could go, and mishaps that could occur. >:-)

Yep, yep! Heh, I hear you. I hate when I reuse a word multiple times close to each other! Makes it even worse when there really isn’t another synonym for it. Irks me even more when I use the same word in some form in the same or consecutive sentences, and don’t catch it.

Woo! I can see the indentations.

That’s a very valid excuse, there! Yeash. Stupid finals. GO YOU for getting through them!

[kiiblade]

Right?! It's so very exciting. Heh. When I started all of this, I had intended Ghent to be the strong, silent type...he turned out very different than I anticipated. In some ways, I did this purposely so that he could clash with poor Elayra more. *evil laugh*
Once my Christmas gifts have been made, I plan to rewrite a great portion of his character sheet. Crazy how plans change!

So glad that the indents worked! Thank you again for your help. :D

Haha, thanks! I need a good few months to recover. (AKA, I'm taking next semester off. )

[Riven Wight]

Ah! Sorry. Long post again, and an information download one, to boot. Let me know if you want me to go in and edit so you have more wiggle room with Ghent during that info download. I got a bit carried away (surprise, surprise). Oh, and if you’re okay that I named Frank’s book shop... I don’t recall you giving it a name, so just threw something in there. It’s an easy fix if you wanted something else!

I so enjoy when it happens that way. The surprises in characters and plot is one aspect that makes me love writing and roleplaying! I like that he clashes that much. In both cases, it leaves room for character development in both of them, if I play my girl right. Take your time on rewriting the profile. There’s no hurry!

Any time, my friend!

I bet! Sounds like a great plan to me.

[kiiblade]

Don't apologize! Once again, another beautifully written post. Ghent's overwhelmed. Drust's condition is rather alarming, and Wonderland doesn't sound like the ideal vacation spot.
Also -- I loved the image you used! Did you draw that?? It's incredible...and so scary!

[Riven Wight]

Is it bad that I'd totally visit this version of Wonderland? (... Is it just me, or is that face freaky?)

Oh, thanks! No, I didn't draw it. Been feeling too lazy for that lately. xD

[Riven Wight]

Oh, also, yay for page two!

[kiiblade]

Hah! This version of Wonderland is something I'd totally want to visit -- from a safe distance. :P
Ok, that face reminds me of a reaction image gif I found once...

!!!!!

Also! Sorry I didn't answer your question -- but the name is totally fine! I never bothered to name the store, and the one you chose fits very well. The place looks like a barn half the time, I'd imagine. *laughs*

+ Page two already?! I'm rather proud of us. :D

[Riven Wight]

Oh. My. GOSH. ROFL!! Photoshop that expression onto Richard Simmons, and then you have a TRUE nightmare, there. xD

No worries! Glad you're good with it!

*High-fives for getting to the next page.*

[kiiblade]

Oh my goodness. I'm cracking up right now!! I can't envision anything more scary than that!

[Riven Wight]

For a fair warning (if it isn't already obvious), it's been a while since I've orchestrated a battle in a 1x1. If I go too far or you feel like I don't give you enough room to move or anything, let me know and I'll go in and fix that!

Also, I wish I had the skills to draw the shadowmire so badly right now...

[kiiblade]

Not at all! As a matter of fact, I was very impressed by how well the scenes were written! You wrote out every action and reaction, something I struggle with.
Also, you were more than fair. I do not believe a unruly teenager with zero training has much chance against a well trained knight. Considering everything, Ghent got off easy!

I bet you could! I just loved the crest you drew. I've been itching to try some fan art for this RP...if I can think of something, I will let you know. :D

[Riven Wight]

Really? Well, for it being something you struggle with, you’ve been doing pretty darn good!

Phew. Glad you think so. He was saved by the shadowmire. xD Seems to me that Ghent’s had a pretty bad day.

Oh, thanks. :-) Eh, maybe I’ll give it a go. Just have a huge stack of papers at the ready. Animals aren’t exactly my forte. Heh. Well, if you get around to it and get inspired, I look forward to it!

[kiiblade]

Awh, thank you! I'm trying. x'D Definitely a challenge to write action scenes!

The shadowmire showed up in the nick of time! :P

Sweet!! Can't wait to see it... I really want to make some chibi charms of Elayra and Ghent! We'll see how that turns out. I'll post some pics when I'm done...hopefully I can get some time to this week! :D

[Riven Wight]

*Gives you a thumbs-up.* For sure! There's a lot to keep up with and watch out for, especially when you have multiple things going on simultaneously.

I feel so lazy on the drawing front right now. Heh. So many other things to do! AAAH! That would be so adorable! ^.^ If you end up doing that, do please send pictures! :-D

[Riven Wight]

Sorry for vanishing on you! I ended up not feeling that great, then had a couple kids to watch.

So, I was thinking (dangerous, I know!). What if Ghent's race would allow him to have access to the more... "spiritual" side of things as well as a strong connection to magic? Like, creatures that may otherwise be difficult, at best, to attack in that plane of existence, would be free game to him? That could be something fun for him to find out, maybe by accident (and prove to be quite helpful in the long run).

[kiiblade]

Oh no, I am so sorry you're not feeling well! :'( I hope you get well soon! Are you feeling better today?

I absolutely love that idea! :D Yes! I am so excited to see how that plays out in the story. Considering how things have been going, I have a feeling he'll find out by accident. x'D

[Riven Wight]

Sorry, yeah. I've been doing better, yeah. Thanks! Hope things have been well on your end. :-)

By the way, happy New Year (don't think I've said that to you yet... and if I have, may it be double happy, then)!

Awesome. >:-D

[kiiblade]

I'm glad to hear it! Things are just fine and dandy here. :)

Ah! I believe I forgot to say that, too! Happy New Year!! I hope it's your best yet!

[Riven Wight]

FIREWORKS! Woo!

Figured it was about time for another time stamp. Let me know if "Around 9:30" sounds good to you! It's an easy change, otherwise.
