I'm sorry guys, really I am but I can't keep up like I thought I would be able to. In all honesty it is post length. I was expecting 2-3 paragraphs and most posts are 5-7 and it is a bit intimidating. That's my bad for not researching better before applying although I would ssuggest considering moving out of the casual section. I do wish you all well.
You can post shorter. Not every one does 5-7 paragraph posts, 2-3 is fine if that's your level :) more is nicer, but we Don, t demand it.
I just prefer to post longer, like some prefer shoter. Just the writing style you like.
Post what you feel comfortable with, we have Lee way to help everyone fit in, of that's 2-3, that's fine.
[@Almathia] Hey StreetViper I'll PM you with a few questions about your character. Thank you hunny!!! ~Almalthia
I got it and returned the favor.
I don't know what you mean by lists. I am only used to writing in paragraphs because of a 12 year run on RuneScape. and Halo days.
I do edit wikis, I am SpecialOperationsTrooper, so I can understand what lists you mean- but alas still I need clarification.
P.S. In that PM I sent back I forgot to include that with those party animals (for the rest of my bio description that wasn't rogue) he just smoked weed and kept going outside, the rest of the kids weren't outdoorsy as much as him but to keep those parties alive the outdoorsy had to stay in effect for years. So they got into skateboarding and just drifting around high and drunk. mallrat stuff.

I think by lists she just means for example, does not need coding fancy or so, just a more easy to read format than a sentence layout in places. just breaking the info into structure that's easier to absorb. @StreetViper
Also from a personal point, add a few more line breaks, it il help as the sections seem to run into each other, and super easy way to modify it with little time or effort.
Course i may be wrong, but im sure ALm would tell me when she online :)

Always worth the wait :) Life before RP. Glad you had a good weekend.
saturday . Siobahan's Art Show Saturday Evening . Planned Event . Cool Winter evening with intermittent rain showers . Event Location Hephaestus Manor (Olympus family residence)
“Now then, let's come right down in here and put some nice big strong arms on these trees. Tree needs an arm too. It'll hold up the weight of the forest. Little bird has to have a place to set there. There he goes...” Bob Ross, The man, The legend, The happy tree
Culture means growth Bob... no.. that's a furry cup with googly eyes and a cocktail umbrella, not art... fine you're a modern artist...
So, the simple Version! We have a GM planned event hosted at the sisters' mansion. The Art show before, if you kept a close eye, had to move thanks to Dirty Harriet or the woman with no name bringing her trademark cordite air freshener to the private viewing on Tuesday morning. The shooting forced the show to be moved, and old rivals from chapter one to get closer than either would like!
We are going to have fun with this, while the events are not required they tend to draw the biggest crowds and always some juicy drama. To help people out, the location will have a basic floor plan to make sense of things and keep us all on the same page. Further details will be laid out in our posts, so please read them even if not directly reference you.
The General theme of the Manor is Parian, lighter, ornate details and plaster work etc. Ground Floor used for the main event.
There will be drinks, snacks and much art to admire, drama to be had, and bring your best, dress up, and may the most handsome and elegant win the day!
As always, any questions, send us a PM, Tag us, Discord, Raven, Post owl, though rocks with notes on windows may be returned by first class arm post :)
Other than that, Have fun and enjoy the party!
PrinceAlexus and Almalthia most glorious collaboration
Siobhan; Marinalia & Victoria
Location: Thursday
Interaction: Each other
Siobhan sits down at a table with Alexandra and they both order a black coffee. Siobhan kept late hours due to Joel and she really didn’t mind she was a night owl not an early bird. No leggings or converse so instead of being pushed into a skirt or dress she rebelled in the most fashionable way that she could think of. The high waisted fitted suit was a oatmeal colored tweed that she had paired with a canary yellow silk shirt. To top it off she had done her hair in a very Anne of Green Gables style. She looked like she could have passed for Katherine Hepburn. Grinning over the coffee cup at Alexandra who was mock glaring at her. “You said no leggings or converse.”
“So you pull a Hepburn. Should have known. Well at least you look smashing. How did you manage to put all of your hair up there?” Alexandra reached out to touch Siobhan’s hair.
Siobhan leaned back quickly. “Don’t mess with it, Lexi. You know I hate hairspray. It’s a mass of bobby-pins that I finally got to work with my hair. Besides I’m not letting you take this down, that goes to someone else entirely.” Alexandra laughed and leaned back looking over at the door that they were both facing waiting for the other ladies to join them.The Sisters and Maria thanked the desk after giving their names and headed over to the area where the two they intended to meet were waiting, Dressed in a smart but modern Italian designer ladies suit with a skirt, crisp English blouse and a click of the easily recognised red soled heels with a conservative 2 inch lift, Maria looked the part. Followed by Victoria in a dark wool coat detailed in silver wearing a office safe little dark purple dress and boots, and Marinalia in her normal office uniform, flight jacket but with dark shiny taller leather riding boots and a necklace of ice blue diamonds glittering on thick gold chain.
Maria seemed not to notice the sisters somewhat surprised seeing Siobhan, and a second well dressed woman next to her, barely even flustered by much at all with a upper class English accent and practically gold eyes. “Good Morning ladies, Shall we start then? Rather classic Miss Murphy, it suits you. Pot of regular and decaf coffee please, and some continental selections if possible.” Barely pausing, she politely asked for breakfast.
A rather surprised looking Victoria went somewhat icey as their last meeting was hardly a good one, eyes icey and a somewhat Russian tinge, though definitely the smallest of group. “Agh. Miss Murphy, Alexandra? … oh, now I understand. The art showing. You want to use the Manor.” Somewhat cold, she sat down, deciding now was not a time to light the fires of past arguments especially round Maria, Victoria despite what thought at times was rather sharp when it came to some things.
Marinalia was more curious than vengeful, though she had hit on Joel like straight after the Gala, recent events had thrown a new perspective on things, and Ethan… the situation was definitely multi layered. “Good morning. Seeing as no one else got to it yet. My mum, Maria Olympus, my sister Lady Victoria Romus, and I'm Marinalia, Romus-Olympus. So, where do we start?”Siobhan kept the smile pasted on her face as she looked past Maria to the sisters. At Victoria's frosty comment she turned on her. “Nice to meet you Maria and thank you. Please call me Siobhan. You look stunning. I was not aware that Vika and Marlin had control of the Manor or I never would have bothered. You see Vika is pissed that my best friend, Paige, is a better match to her ex than she ever could have been. And when it comes to these two Marlin follows her sister blindly. She really is a bad influence on Marlin. Although I have to say neither Joel nor I could really tell which of you retaliated in that bar fight not to long ago. News flash Marlin unless her name is ‘Lady’ you're in America. No one cares.” She took a sip of coffee. “But that's neither here nor there. I need space and apparently it needs to be elegant. According to Lexi at least. So you have the space and I have the art. Let's brainstorm.” She motioned them to sit at an accompanying table sipping her coffee.Maria frowned at the situation being a lot more complicated than she ever planned or expected to be. Marinalia was definitely her daughter but Victoria she had a lot less defined position. Buying some time to think she took a bite of her small breakfast. Maybe she should have been more upfront about who and why. “Thank you Siobhan, I must take some responsibility as I did not give every detail before hand. Alas, I think I need a brief pause to discuss things. And a lot longer tonight. “ Nudging the two to a quiet corner away for a minute or two and expressions changing rather rapidly, before making a small sense of the mess.
Returning Victoria dialed down the ice partly, though only because Maria's influence but was thicker with Russian. “Well Marinalia was being formal as of her education. Bar fight. Not us, in fact as your so interested. Some fan girl of Ethan Aster who I met, an invite for drinks, a bottle flew. Blood. Then chaos. Self defense. Milo, I'd rather less said the better.”
Marinalia was somewhat thrown by the situation, the few minutes had let her reboot her viewpoint. But Ethan’s words from Tuesday where ringing in her minds corners. Joel nor I? Definitely dating or similar. Ethan certainly did not miss anything. Victoria's cold side was what made her excellent at her job. Just not diplomatic. “For Maria's sake. I'll forget that one. We do, and I'm the one in control technically, so.
With a few terms. Second floor is private. Within personal use and sense. Third is entirely off limits. Gardens ours till the evening in question.
Cost wise. You clean up after and never notice it happened after, we get drinks… I'll call that our truce offer. Though we both know a certain racing driver is unlikely to attend so that's one less problem.” Cooler, but not icey like Victoria and falling into her taught cool crisp upper class English. Getting a if you must look from Victoria, she knew better than show a divided front.
Maria nodded along. Not the most warm, could be worse. The Terms where fair. Also why where they so tall… 5’6 in heels. Then pulling out a floor plan, annotated in a neat cursive hand with ideas and options. “Ground floor was designed for old social scene. You have room and light. Ballroom is better for art, much lighter. Save the other space for guests. Maybe bar under staircase. Gardens can be opened up. Any suggestions Alexandra? I'm sure you have a few requirements? Being the professional here.”The woman in all black almost severe cut business suit jolted to the real world at the sound of her name. “Ah yes. Well I’d love to look at it so that we can plan out the arrangement of the collection. Siobhan care to come along?”
Siobhan is acting strange. She is normally at this point she has them eating out of the palm of her hand. Does she know those girls? Well getting her out of here is still the best bet. I just hope that Maria is the only one to go with us.
Siobhan looked at Lexi and nodded with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. Looking back at Marlin and dropping the smile. “My apologies that the truth leaves you cold and offends you. In case you and your sister did not notice it is cold. So if we are to use the gardens then they would need to be tented and have outdoor heaters placed in them. Depending on how large an area we are talking about we would need to have it set up in advance to that evening. Giving the workers the day of or the day before the presentation would be a smarter choice.” Siobhan was pedantic about her grammar, no contractions, her words crisp and short. Looking over at Maria she gave her a warm smile. “No need to apologize ma’am. You had no idea that we had issue with each other.” Looking back at Marlin she stood. “Other than the garden timing issue I believe that will suffice, thank you.” She looked down over at Vika with a malicious smile. “After all it is not like I will cut you off and tell you that you have to pay for your own drinks while no one else does. Class has to come from somewhere. You were not raised by her.” She indicated Maria in that last sentence. Walking Siobhan crossed to the doorway and stopped not looking over her shoulder but directing her words over to the trio; since Alexandra had gotten up and was halfway to Siobhan. “Marlin I am surprised that you did not notice earlier, or at all really, that your precious Vika is one of the reasons why you lost Joel so easily. But blood does run thicker than water. I am sure if I had a sibling that I would forgive them almost anything. Oh Maria, Lexi and I will be headed over to the manor. If you need more time and will show us later text Lexi. Afternoon ladies.” Siobhan exited with Lexi on her heels and as the door shut you could see Lexi start talking to Siobhan who shrugged and Lexi looked astonished.Marinalia adjusted her necklace slightly, she did not wear it very often so was a still a little strange with diamonds and thicker gold as she almost always wore a lighter one and could feel the difference. “Cold. The weather is a tad cool today...Yes, but as I did not know exact numbers. I kept that door open. If you need it, you got the extra time. I'll trust mum to handle things." Marinalia noted her little perfect use of English but barely reacted drinking some coffee. Maria noted the little slight challenge between them. Surprisingly they both might be more similar than they released. Hence challenges. "Of course Alexandra, Siobhan, I am free for about 2-3 hours. Thank you, though Victoria is my Fiancé's daughter." Adding a slight nudge, wrong or not Victoria lost Darya. She was temperamental when it came to that to say the least. Best a path not traveled, reinforced with a glint of expensive diamond on a certain finger.
Marinalia gave the two a glance but mostly cast a eye to Victoria who eyes flashed like polar ice for a second, relishing about the raising comment, losing her mother at young age. That cut deeper than she knew. "Maria, I think we should get to work."
Victoria was cold, but some subjects where not places she liked to go. With a turn of dark hair and scarily calm slate grey eyes tinged with almost armour. "I probably should get to work, the digital crime wave has not abated. No... I only had letters and diaries." .
Marlin kept calm just going though the flight procedures for a rooftop landing she was teaching that day, they went to leave but Siobhan turned. Well this might be interesting. "Yes, Vika is. But as you said. Blood is a lot thicker and worth a lot more than a boyfriend who more often than not end. He likes Guinness by the way, and I've found fresh runways and hangers anew. Oh, I met a school mate of his Ethan, seems that Gossip column was correct after all. Not that I'm gonna run to press. But someone else may make the link." Well, she had her doubts, and issues. Not that that she would let on and show weakness. The last bit, she knew the Media where assholes, disliking her one thing. Leaving her to those scum was another.
Maria bid the sisters goodbye as they gave a polite goodbye, neutral but not quite as hostile as the start to Alexandra and Siobhan. Truce maybe. But not a warm one. Least they could agree to not quite laying into each other like last time. "Ladies, I shall take you over to the House then, Alexandra will know the Zip code. I'll have to check with my daughter tonight if you wish to do anything major change or addition wise."
