[OOC] The Beauty and the Beasts

[Oasis]

Man, it's like we were made for each other. Except not because we were made from each other. Hmm... we've got a complicated thing going on here. lmao But it's definitely good.

Oh yeah, Nikolai is definitely going to be a huge one. I'm actually really excited to see how that one goes and even more excited to see what it's like for Aleks once he's finally free. Until Lilith is like "HA! You're not free yet, nigga! Rawr! >:3"Cause, ya know, she totally talks like that. XD But for real, I think it'll be fun and sad to see their bond grow only to have Lilith crush it with her threats and demands. A beautiful thing will start to form, and then be crushed by her vanity. *sigh* Oh Lily, if only you knew what you're giving up... Poor old girl.

Oh yeah, and I loved your post! Naughty, naughty Aleks! So much scheming! <3

[LostBrotherGrimm]

It's like that one Greek myth where Zeus made people with two faces, four legs and arns, and two hearts - then separated them because they were too powerful. That fits our case :P

It would be funny if she had to talk like that at one point, with smileys and all. Would totally ruin the mood of the RP, but would be funny :3 oh Lily - she'll probably realise what she gave up on once she turns into a mortal human :333 when Aleks takes control. *evil laugh*

Glad to hear that - you know, this is one of the best RP's I've ever been in. Just had to put that out there ^.^

[Oasis]

Oh man, it totally does! What a perfect explanation as to how we came to be!

Yeah, the dynamic between them is going to be insane once Aleks is crazy and Lilith is suddenly weak and mortal. It's gonna be great.

This is definitely my favorite as well, though I feel kinda guilty saying that because I was in a fantastic one on Old Guild.

Anyway, I need to stop all this OOC rambling and try to get some writing done!

[LostBrotherGrimm]

Indeed!

It's going to be completely opposite of everything that described their relationship up to that point. I love it already :3

Oh yeah, what was it about? I know I was in a Bleach one at the Old Guild and boy did I love it - I had a conflict with one guy there and he was one of the best rivals I ever had :P Totally sadistic - his goal was to completely destroy my character, crush his heart and soul. It was a wonderful bout. Unfortunately, we never got to finish it :/

[Oasis]

Oh my glob. SO LONG and still not finished. -___________- But it'll be done in the next bit, I promise! >.>

It was a superhero RP. A group of rookies were asked to protect a city because the city's resident hero had recently died. Our group worked fantastically together (except for one kid who didn't stick around too long). We spammed the crap out of the OOC thread and even when the GM had to drop out, we kept it going for a bit and we all talked for months after the RP eventually died. We didn't get too far into it, but we all had a blast.

[LostBrotherGrimm]

I don't know if I trust you *evil glare* Can't wait to read it :3 Luckily, I'm free for an hour and a half, so yeah~

Sounds awesome! I was only once in a superhero RP and my character had the LAMEST power EVER. Like, his power was to draw perfect circles. That was it. The end of his powers.

[LostBrotherGrimm]

My, my - Lily is one bad-ass kumiho. I just love it. Aleks won't have such an easy time with her after all :3 I guess I could post myself since I have some free time left with nothing to do ^.^

[Oasis]

Man, I haven't even read it yet. XD It's so long and I just finished writing it so I was like, "Man, that shit's long. I'm sure it's fine." lmao Editing is one of my least favorite things. :s It's kind of ironic considering I'm such a perfectionist, but I actually think that's why. If I get started, I will never be satisfied and the editing will just be a fruitless and stressful venture. If I don't let myself get started, it's a little easier to deal with. Kind obsess over flaws if I never re-read and find 'em. >.>

That is a hilarious power!!!!! The artist in me would love it, but that's about the only use I'd have for it. lol My character was pretty much designed to end up being a really good sidekick despite the premise being that the city was looking for a new hero. I thought it'd be an interesting challenge to try and keep up. Plus, I really hoped she'd end up being one of the other character's partner. She had pretty good synergy with every member, though their powers didn't necessarily make sense together. Also, she was the tiniest member by far. think she was like, 6 inches aka about 15 cm shorter than the next shortest member. XD She was the only girl that really counted. lmao There was another female but she covered herself up enough that my character thought she was a guy. lol But anyway, the other female character was a lesbian, so anyone who had romantic intentions had to fight over my adorably tiny, slightly timid, support-type character. I'm not going to lie, it was nice having my pick of the litter. XD But of course the one I wanted to see her with most was not the one she would have realistically chosen. :/ There was a character named Limewire (I think his alias was Simon?) that did cheesy one-liners like old school Spiderman and it was the greatest thing ever! So many puns! <3 But I think he was a bit too.... I dunno, free-spirited and goofy to have really been good for Hana. Amusingly enough, the person I saw her most likely to pair up with was the biggest of the bunch. He was and entire foot (30.5 cm) taller than her! He was also all big and muscly so she probably could sit on one of his shoulders. lmao Super cute mental images there. <3

EDIT: You read fast! :o But I'm glad you like it. I was a little worried I was rushing the scene too much and making it not much of a fair fight/ not providing enough detail, but the post was getting so long I didn't think I should drag it out even further.

[LostBrotherGrimm]

I agree, editing is one of the worst things there are. I know I edited my book three times - and wanted to do it one more time, but am restraining myself just because I know that I am a perfectionist and that I will never accomplish anything if I only go back and back and edit it a lot of times :P

It was hilarious indeed. My character was useless for the most part - he was one of those Jack of all trades, master of none - except he wasn't a jack of even 10% of all trades. Eh. Poor guy. Now that I think about it, there is one guy like that in my book as well. And I LOVE him greatly. The first character for the book that I made and my favorite character out of the bunch. People (that read it) said that he is 100% me. >.< But he is not. He just loves girls as much as moa.

Awww, that's so cute~ I guess I can think of a lot of reasons why being the only possible romantic interest for all other characters is a good thing :3 never had that happen to me, but still. Now I can't stop thinking about that 30.5 cm height difference between Hana and the large guy :P And yes! Yes, old school Spiderman puns are awesome. I can see why it was the best thing ever~

I guess I do, I'm one of the fastest readers in my crew~ Don't worry about it, there was no point in dragging it out a little longer. Sure, I could have a three page long post describing that scene, because it was so awesome to me, but this is great as well. And considering there will be a lot of other similarly cool scenes, I cannot complain ^.^

[Oasis]

Holy cannoli, I literally squirm in my seat when I think of how angry Lilith would be if she knew what Aleks was doing! Oh my goodness, she would have a conniption! XD Ya know, I think that is the only time I've ever used that word and I can't think of a more appropriate place or time to use it. lmao This RP gets me worked up something awful (in the good way, of course). Ha ha ha

Aww man, I really need to read your book sometime. When's it getting published again? ;3

Lol I'm glad you like it so much and that you haven't even implied that my male characters aren't manly. <3 I do think it's kinda funny that I'm trying to describe these incredibly graphic scenes as tactfully as possible. Like, I want them to be detailed and realistic enough, but not too gross. It's a very careful balancing act. lmao I dunno, for some reason I kinda like super gross scenes, but I don't want to overdo it.

[LostBrotherGrimm]

If she ever finds that out, she'll be quite pissed, I can't even imagine how much :P Conniption? Wow, you just taught me a new word. And that's a good thing. You're a good spontaneous teacher :3

Now you reminded me, I was just recently challenged my LoVe to take an online test that can approximately judge how broad your vocabulary is and "how many words you know, cca." It just got me thinking how much I actually love taking such stuff and seeing my results :P

I really hope soon :P And as promised, when it gets published, you'll get that signed copy ;)

Well, they aren't? I guess it's because I am not really a "manly man - hurr hurr hurr" myself, so I don't recognize when someone is fully manly and when someone is not. I'll have to brush my skills up with that. And I don't know what too gross would be like - so far, everything you wrote seems perfectly balanced, so yay, good job~ <3

EDIT: Aaand, I have to leave now, so... ^.^ wish me luck on my lecture (with not falling asleep, of course)

[Oasis]

Hahahaha! Conniption is a pretty old timey, Southern term. Hardly anybody uses it anymore and any time it is, it's almost always in a joking context. It's such a great word though! It just sounds funny. Now I need to be sure and make a note to say it more often. But I'm glad I'm a good teacher, I used to want to be one for quite some time. :P

Oh man, I like taking tests like that too! Though usually my results aren't as high as I'd like. >.> I really am too hard on myself.

I think you misunderstood. I wasn't implying that the characters aren't manly, but rather that I tried really hard to make sure they didn't seem feminine or, more likely, fake. I didn't want it to seem like I was trying so hard I missed the mark. But seeing as the only opinion I had to go off of was my own, I have no idea how accurate my own perspective/ portrayal is.

Anyway, good luck not sleeping! (I say as I go off to sleep, how messed up is that??? XD)

[LostBrotherGrimm]

Then it's no surprise that no one ever taught us that word :P oh really? teacher of what exactly? I wanted to be a teacher myself at one point.

Maybe they are high, just not... you know 100% :p depends on what kinda bar you have set for yourself. I am usually satisfied only when I score really high ^.^

Had to reread your message. Indeed, a lapsus on my behalf :P

[Oasis]

I wanted to teach elementary school, so I would have taught all subjects, but if I had to pick one, I probably would have picked English cause I loved reading back then. Now I would pick biology.

I'm not satisfied unless I get at least 90% and I prefer it to be higher.

Also, trying to write, but having trouble focusing. :s

[LostBrotherGrimm]

Sweet~ And when I say sweet, I mean cloneish! English was my subject of choice.

That's the spirit!

No rushing~ Take your time, Chi~

[Oasis]

Oh my goodness, that took me like, 5 hours of unfocused writing. -_____- But it's done! Hopefully we can go back to interacting soon. XD

(I really like it when people call me Chi <3)

[LostBrotherGrimm]

You did it ^.^ so Lilith managed to take out her first five victims, I'm impressed (*cough*Aleks said that*cough*). I hope so to~ So, what did you have in mind for those police cars Lily mentioned in her text?

(I can call you Chi more often then :P)

[Oasis]

I was just mentioning those cars to imply that police were already on the scene. Didn't intend to do anything with them but if you would like to that's fine (maybe for Volgin? I dunno how fast you wanted him to respond). I honestly have no plans for what's going to happen next. I was hoping you already had if figured out. >.>

[LostBrotherGrimm]

Well, I kinda thought that the police would call in Volgin in my next post - that way the two would have a good reason to go their own ways, like "oh yeah, I have to go, bla bla" - "oh okay, keep me up-to-date, will ya?" - "sure, mate" - "buh bye."

As for what was going to happen next - I, err... Haven't thought that far yet, probably because I don't have time to work on a post currently, so I left it for the time when I will :P

[Oasis]

Lol Well we can talk about it together sometime later if you want. Seeing as I'll probably be MIA for a couple days because of the wedding, I don't mind if the RP goes on hiatus for a bit.
