I've gotten used to the fact that people aren't as open-minded here as I'm used to. There's a lot more relationship drama/gossip here then at my old school which is always fun to hear. Ice, have you always had to deal with this? I mean, I can't even have a long conversation with more than three people about fandom related things. Like, judging from your signature and avatar, I would have a maximum of two people to talk to about it.

Yeah I have.
I had to deal with the same thing fandom wise, though I have managed to get others into anime and such over time. It helped that SAO and AoT became big, because it really allowed me to grow the group I could talk to. Mind you though it still isn't a large group but it is significantly larger than what I started with.
I hope you can find more people to talk with though, I understand how boring it can be in place like that.

[Scout]

Code Geass is good stuff. I liked SAO for the setting, and it helped me to actually enjoy anime at first. Branching out and whatnot was definitely something that improved my perspective on anime. ^^" Any Clannad or Angel Beats! fans here?

*Fails to try and be sneaky by already joining conversations*

[Xander]

I'm totally around. I posted super quick the first time, and I wanted to give others more time to reply before I jumped in again, so I have more to play with.

Are there some basic rules of physics we could have about the world, so we can help shape things and not just basically all repeat what the first person said in turns? =D If that made sense.

[Genkai]

I would say the gravity may be slightly lighter than that of earth, think of it light a more fantastic planet, different plants, probably different flavor and temp of water in the rivers. I would say you could notice an orb of yellow and one of purple, as those will be our Muses for the time being. This site is driving me fucking bananas and I know people are jumping ship because it...

[Scout]

I'm feeling it, myself. But this RP was just too good to pass up. Also, not to bug ya, Genkai, but did you get to read my CS yet? ^^" (Page 5)

[Genkai]

I will, the site is being an assface. ^^; It may finally be calming its tits...

[Scout]

Well, it's worked for over 5 minutes. ^^ I'm reading everybody else's stuff. I'm really liking it. I'd also like to point out that one of us is playing a Sons of Anarchy character (reference image), and my mom was JUST watching that show a few minutes ago. She is obsessing over it, has been for like two weeks while she ploughs through episode after episode. Recognized the guy because he's Brad Pitt + Ryan Gosling = Jax. Strange... But good for him. XD I just had to laugh because he was JUST on the TV screen and then I start looking at other characters and there he is again. I can't escape the biker!

EDIT: Side note to MrDevious, I can respect using your real name; I can't do that. Makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. Using any of my three names for any of my character's. Not to mention I hate my first name in real life anyway and much prefer my middle... But good for you being able to separate the two. Also, I noticed you were the one using the SOA guy (not to be confused with Kirito, the SAO guy... ba dum tss). Anyway, neat-o *thumbs up*

EDITEDIT: Aspid, now that I've finished reading the OOC, I'd like to mention I lived in the country for sixteen years up until my parents' divorce reached its boiling point. Moving into population (even if it's still just a small city/big town) was soooo nice. There are things to do, places to go, internet service that isn't crap, the college is right up the road, and I could finally join a gym with a trainer and everything without worrying about the drive making my car fall apart. Not to mention, I could secure a full-time, Union supported job that I don't hate while I trim down the fat. ^^ But! If you enjoy it out there, more power to you. I know sometimes I miss it, but only for short stints. The best part is sitting out on the porch, reeking of bug spray, watching the moon without any kind of light pollution... Wake up early and watch the sunrise - it's a whole new perspective from both the city and the country. :)

I liked SAO quite a bit, though the main reason I watched was because the premise reminded me of .hack. Plus it gains more respect from me because as I said it allowed me to pull my friends into anime.
Also,huge fan of Clannad and Angel Beats. They are absolutely amazing, especially if you don't mind wrecking your own emotional state.

[Scout]

ice, do you want to be my best friend? XD You're accepted, no application necessary, as long as you wear a shirt. Clannad wrecked me. After SAO, I was able to pull my real best friend into anime and thus made him cry when... well yes, in Clannad that one thing happened and it was very sad. Made him cry. I cried at a much later point, but my cry was weeping for like two straight episodes. ;n; Ushio is the most adorablest character ever, killed me to watch her deliver that line with such perfection. Iwasawa's episode always closes my throat in AB as well. Oh dear, the nostalgia. Fantastic.

I like SAO because of the setting - I think Aincrad is lovely. I also just enjoy the action and the first arc (the Aincrad arc)'s delivery. After that it gets a bit eh, but I watch it cause it's just something to watch. Good stuff. ^^

Speaking of sci-fi anime, are you familiar with the Mardock Scramble trilogy? If so, I really might just have to be so thrilled that you exist. Balot <3

[MrDevious]

I would just like to point out that, I am still here. I check it daily, but I wanted to give others time to post. I finally have a weekend off work, so I'll post something up by Sunday for sur

Also, yeah, I don't mind using my real name too much. I actually based a lot of the character on myself, due to this being a RP about death (kind of) TBH, I was extremely depressed when I decided to roleplay again, a lot of bad shit had just recently happened (like the girl cheating on my character before he died, literally happened to me 3 days prior to me joining the site.) I figured, i dont REALLY want to die, so lets rp about it? I guess... Lol but regardless, if anyone cares, im doing much better and am glad i started writing again. :)

Also... I love SOA too lol

[Scout]

I imagine using Jax himself was indication of that. But it's muy bueno you're feeling better. ^_^ Sometimes, writing is the best medicine... and time; therapy that works for me every time, at least.

[Leviathan]

Still here & like Mr. Devious, i too was waiting for others to post.

Glad you are feeling better, that's tough to go through...i certainly know it affected me when i was cheated on by an ex.

Completely empathize with you good sir.

If you need to vent, i am only a pm away. ^^

As far as soa, personally it went too fast for my liking.

@Mr. Devious, your character is kickass

[Scout]

Well I'm all caught up - IC and all has been read. ^^

[Aspidochelone]

This is nice, we're all talking and connecting to one another.

@Ice and Scout, we should all just form an anime club and call it a day. SAO, Code Geass, Clannad, Angel Beats, everything. Surprisingly, only two people have even heard of SAO at this place which is surprising since it was so big. Personally, I thought SAO was a bit lacking story-wise since there were 6(?) filler episodes that tried to fit 2(?) years of game play into that many episodes.
@Mr. Devious, glad you're feeling better. Writing stuff like this out is therapeutic compared to hiring a therapist to listen to you. Get all your thoughts out here and we have to listen to you. And it's free.

[Scout]

Yeah, welcome to the boonies, Aspid XD I agree, it is lacking story, but I enjoy watching the characters and, add mentioned, the setting. I have an SAO roleplay that has no canon save for the castle and Heathcliffe. Apart from that it's entirely original and we just have a blast m it's getting dark very fast XD and it's not even close to being done with the arc in-game.

[Aspidochelone]

Sweet. Love it when an RP gets dark quickly. Was it just out of nowhere or was it like a dark that creeps up into the RP? Now you're making me want to read your thread's IC just to check it out.

[Scout]

It crept in. But now it's storming in XD and go ahead, the thread is cake Far From Home. You'll find nearly all of my rps are closed, invite only threads.

[Aspidochelone]

Wait, where is it? Cake? Do you mean called?

Edit: Never mind that. Found it.

[Scout]

Yeah, called XD I'm on my phone and I use gesture typing for speed and called has been known to turn into cake.

EDIT: might be a difficult find at the moment, one of our players is caught up in school as the semester winds down so there hasn't been a new post on weeks.

[Aspidochelone]

I use a swipe keyboard on my phone and it does that to me all the time. No biggie.

Aw. My semester's winding down now and I need to work on my Shakespeare essay. But it's such an easily finished essay that I'm procrastinating it.
