This should do. I'll put up my CS.

Forgive the short CS. I'll add more to it as it becomes relevant in the story, but I don't think our characters should know everything about each other quite yet.

[LadyRunic]

Agreed. At a wedding so I'm tad rushed. Hope cs is alright. Can't wait for first post.

[Life in Stasis]

Alright! Sorry for the delay. Ended up losing the post entirely and had to retype it. Fortunately I like the second version better.

Please don't feel obligated to match post length. I believing in writing enough, not in setting minimums. Most of this is just starting exposition anyway.

[LadyRunic]

Hah, and lovely post! Now I'M curious!

[LadyRunic]

@Life in Stasis Posted, and I tend to write thoughts and feelings into what is seen and heard. So my posts are a tad more... lengthy. At times. Especially starting posts or descriptive posts.

[Life in Stasis]

Sorry for the delay again. Had another appt. on Friday. This one went much better but left me exhausted.

[LadyRunic]

No problem! Life comes first. :D

[LadyRunic]

@Life in Stasis Would Alice be able to Sasha in mirrors or no?

@Life in Stasis Would Alice be able to Sasha in mirrors or no?

@LadyRunic

Good question, I forgot to mention it. She would not. He can't be captured on film either.

[LadyRunic]

Lo Ely. Post should be up soon

[Life in Stasis]

Who's Ely?

Joking, of course, I'll post again in an few hours.

[LadyRunic]

This is why I do not post on my phone generally. Lol

[Life in Stasis]

It really did take me a minute to figure out what you meant. I actually googled it to see if "lo ely" was some kind of slang I don't get. After staring at it for a full minute I realized it was just "lovely" without the v.

And hey don't sweat it. I've written tons of posts on my phone. Did you know that a slightly typoed "terrible" autocorrects to "testicle" like 90% of the time?

[LadyRunic]

What the actual Jerk? Lol!

[LadyRunic]

Well at least she has a weapon! Pins and needles, and she can tie him up with the measuring tape.

Probably not, but best to look on the bright side!

[LadyRunic]

Hey @Life in Stasis, don't suppose you can get that post up soon? I just had a 6+ months to that I was really involved in die. So yeah.... free time I don't need!

[Life in Stasis]

@LadyRunic

So, let me be perfectly transparent, because I've been in your position with a surplus of free time and a lack of RPs and hoping someone can match my pace and energy. I really don't want to let you down, but I am limited and I want you to understand.

Also if this sounds like I'm lecturing, please forgive me, I just want you to know I'm not being a bum. I really do want to thank you for your patience and understanding.

I'll never leave you waiting for more than two days. I saw your terms and agreed to commit to them AT MINIMUM. That's only fair, and I'd hate to be like all these other dregs who make others wait. I prefer to post at least once a day, or even get into fast paced sessions once in awhile, but if I'm swamped I'll at least meet the minimum.

Every Sunday through Thursday, I'm out of my house from about 9:30pm to around 8am (work), and then I sleep from about 11am to 7pm. I also spend about an hour eating dinner with my SO (this is very important to me).

So this gives me about 4 hours a day of true free time, which I spend either shopping for food, (usually every two days, we go through like a half gallon of soymilk and tons of veggies every day), running some errands, trying to keep my house from looking like Pripyat, and spending some meager amount of time with my SO (besides dinner). Lately I had to address a somewhat serious thing, which should hopefully be over. God I hope it is.

Unfortunately this means that during the week I'm usually both really busy and really tired. Sometimes I do post on my lunchbreaks, but I didn't today with it bwing July 4th and I didn't want to get wrecked by a drunk driver at 2am.

It also means that my weekends (Fri, Sat) are hugely free and is when I can be a posting powerhouse, which I'd love.

Basically, during the week I'll probably disappoint you and I'm sorry. But during the weekend I'd love to do some rapid fire with you. If you see me on the site, usually I'm just reading from my phone while at work.

Also if it eases your waiting I'm reachable at almost anytime, even at work, on Steam (same name), or I can log on discord. I value close rapports with my RP partners and I'd love to discuss plot and characters in real time. I can also tell you precisely when I'm available at any time.

Unless I'm asleep. Then you'll have to guess.

I guess.

Again I'm not trying to lecture or anything! I'm really glad you're enthusiastic for this story, I think about it a lot and I can't wait to get to the meat of the story, I just want you to think I'm not a jerk. I prefer being direct.

[LadyRunic]

@Life in Stasis Geeze man! Wall of text! Haha. But no I totally get it. Re ally. I say don't worry your posting has been fine. I'm just scrambling for more rp to get my mind off it really. The loss of that to just has hit me quite hard emotionally as a long rp is won't to do.

Best character I have road in a long time. Not that Alice isn't good but this one was... a struggle. I got her ready to so something really bug that she could potentially die in. And if she survived she would have to face her two young children after being gone a good 5 years, a Dragon of a husband (literally), and a worried mother (hers). Then out of the blue. Dm says to has been too pressuring (which we fixexd the problem we were having, but he was a new dm who wanted- but didn't want to accept- advice from his rpers.) and stops so I have to find out from 3rd party. I had been waiting weeks for it to start up again, eagerly anticipating it.

Eh, don't worry your head about it man. :) it just took me by surprise so now I'm trying to cope with the loss.

[Life in Stasis]

@LadyRunic Sorry! I do that. I even had my boss at work telling me to send shorter emails.

And hey, really, I'm sorry to hear the rp died. I know exactly how you feel, and I won't take it personally if Alice isn't your magnum opus. Every character is unique and once in awhile, one of them just strikes you.

My friend and I have been RPing on and off (him and me but also with other people) for over fifteen years, and we still talk about characters we had from way back then to ten years ago to five, they just stay with you. They always will. They're literally part of you.

If you like, I started up an RP with a girl but it doesn't look like she's going to post. Setting is generic fantasy. I'll give her a little longer, but she doesn't turn up, we can redo the plot a bit and you can play the other side of that story.

Also I should have expressed my condolences in my last post but my guilt apparently bubbled up because I'm terrible.

[LadyRunic]

@Life in Stasis Oh, your not terrible! And I'd rather not. There were a lot of characters in her story that I just cannot do. Especially her husband. She was too entwined with the world.

And no I have characters from 10 years ago I still use. So total get that.
