I chuckle at your words and run my fingers through my beard. "I think this did a lot of the work for me in the audition, but you're kind to say so. You make a very convincing beauty."

I follow you out onto the street, breathing in the smell of the city. It's different to my birthplace, less salt and brine, but still feels like home. I do my best not to think about the building we're walking out of though, given its prestigious position.

"Oh, I've no doubt we'll put on a good one. We'll just have to hope that we get a good audience."

Avalon: A Tale of Arthurian Legend

Really though, the style of this brief introduction hits so many of my favourite notes, themes and tones, not to mention the setting, it's almost unreal. I'm very much interested.

The Order: A Tale of Monster Hunters

1830s monster slaying sounds excellent, colour me intrigued.

bruh, you've been awake for 24+ hours. I've been there and know how it feels.

Is everything kind of flat and white yet? I always found that everything felt sort of monotone and plain after a day of being awake. After two or three, it's more like everything is far removed from you.

Oh, sorry, I see that the way I wrote that comes off in a stilted way. I do not at all think sociopaths and aromantics are the same thing or even have a lot of similarities. I think the character Holden may be a sociopath rather than an aromantic but more because of the way he's been described in the OOC by his creator than by the chat about relationships. I am familiar with what an aromantic is and have previously known a few, though I can't say I know any sociopaths, to my knowledge.

Sorry if that was unclear or came off as insulting, I did not intend to paint sociopaths and aromantics with the same brush at all, merely to suggest that Holden might fall into one or both of those groups.

This was what I was getting at. An asexual is no harder to romance than anyone else, as long as you define romance as forming an emotional bond based on mutual respect, admiration and what have you, not as mutual exclusive booty rights. So yeah, Holden sounds more like an aromantic (or sociopath) than anything else.

You know, I never played a romantic simulation game but that sounds like a pretty awful representation of asexuality, really. Unsurprising, I suppose, given how asexuality is represented in every other medium (when it actually is, rare cases) but still not great.

Do you guys even academic background

_{I'm told I sound posh, I don't know. I only know my accent isn't matched to any particulr region well, as I moved around a lot during my childhood and still am.}

Well, the GM has changed the setting to full and has previously said that they won't be accepting new players, what with us being a little overcrowded already. So no, I think there's no more room, sorry.

As you pick up your bag, I take half a moment to check my watch for the time. Four in the afternoon, much earlier than I though. Hmmm...

As you speak, I look up and make a grimace. "Not much, no. I did a few adverts here and there, plus a bunch of antagonist roles." Ruefully running a hand through my beard, I shrug. "It's been a lean few years and no mistake, hopefully things will be looking up from now on."

I step down from the stage and start wandering towards the exit, guessing you'll fall in beside me. "How about you, anything big before this?"
