Seems like all my statuses are "Sorry if replies come slow or aren't great" lately. But, sorry if replies come slow or aren't great . Mental state keeps making writing a challenge.

To my partners and co-writers: Starting today I'm taking a much needed several days to a week long mental health de stress break. Im not dropping any games, I just need to rest a minute.

This user is a general waste of space. Capable-ish writer, generally able to write in the high casual to low advanced bracket when motivation strikes. Very much prefers a casual attitude about RP though, and is sometimes over-encumbered by life.

So I'm kind of intrigued by the fact you like to do sillier RPs, and have pairings listed like AngelxDemon. That, with comedy involved, could be weird and therefore fun. Though Girl and Ghost, or "whatthefuckeverXsomeotherkindofthing" is also catching my eye, just because what exactly did you mean by "hybrid thing"? Like a 'were'whatever?
Hello there. So, I just wanted to stop in and tell you that I think you've got a great idea there, and that I'm sure it will make for a very entertaining game. Sadly, while I'd love to participate in said game, I'm already in too many, and it wouldn't be fair to a partner to try and take on another. I just like browsing the ICs every so often for something to read, and thought I'd pay compliment where it was due.
He had been left scratching his head when it came to the Latin. He was trying to pronounce it, sure, but the words just didn't come as naturally to him, as they did to her. The way everything just rolled off her tongue, without having to even have the book to read from was quite impressive. He was glad when she seemed to mellow out and work with him a little more. When she produced the wrapped up parcel, and presented it with something of a show, he couldn't help but smile.

That smile grew even further when it turned out to be a shotgun, and a collection of unusual shells. Listening to her description, he nodded. She'd mentioned in the book that salt was a barrier, so he supposed it made sense that rock salt coming out of a shotgun...

"I get it. Kind of. If the salt acts as a barrier they can't cross, then blasting it into them would throw them backward at least. Right? Or if it catches hold of them well enough, could maybe even do some real damage. I don't want to take your gun from you, but I will take a couple of these shells. I've got some experience in bullet casting, so I'm certain that if I can come up with the salt, I'd be able to produce at least something crudely similar to them. Though... I wonder at why you'd carry a gun, if your quarry doesn't fear bullets."

He watched her as she spoke. Her posture changed a little as she relaxed. And despite himself it made him smile. A glimpse into that vulnerability, made her seem more human, despite her strange calling. Allowed him to see that even though this was her life, she was still not all to different than any other person, with her own woes and worries. If she could do this, then perhaps he could too...
I like idea two. If he couldn't return home, he'd have to flee with her, but if he's lawful good, he'd constantly be torn or wanting to interfere in her being a thief. The plots and sub-plots could be great there. Feel free to PM me and we can talk about games and stuff. Also, there's a character sheets page now? Thanks for linking there so I could see that. That's awesome. I might post up CSs for some of my recurring characters. But that's off topic. Bleh. Rambling. Anyway... Yes. Your game. Elvish thief girl. Good ideas. Shoot me a PM.
This idea seems to have a lot of potential for fun. The sort of real life elements blended with the intentionally comic-booky action/adventure-mance. I like it. Definitely shoot me a PM, and I'll have a go at your character sheet.
I could have a go at it. Most of my characters tend to be nicer, so it could be fun to play the other side.
Her face seemed to fall as he could only skim the book. Her eyes losing a little of their brightness, as he flipped the pages. Seemed she wasn't the most happy with that particular strategy, but there was little else he could do, being presented with so much information at a single time. There would be no way to read the book page for page there with her. That would take an investment of several days. But he was looking for facts relevant to their current task. Things about demons, and how to fight demons. He flipped through pages on a wide variety of other topics, but it seems she'd come to specialize in this, much unlike his own choice of career. He still found it a little surprising that she was a demon hunter. Someone so pretty. So delicate looking. But, looks could be, and in this case, were, deceiving. She probably hunted, on a daily basis, quarry more dangerous than he did, himself.

She reached from behind him, and started flipping past the pages, arriving at one point in particular, and pointing to the parts she considered to contain the most important information. How to identify a person that was being possessed or controlled by a demon. How to recognize whether or not a demon had been present in an area. Signs, and symbols, and omens. And most importantly, how to combat them. Though she'd said there was no way she knew of to actually kill one. That definitely took demon hunting out of his comfort zone. He scowled a little.

"Water, and salt and drawing pictures... stacked against immortality, and absolute power. Yeah, doesn't sound like they have much of a weakness at all to me." He sighed. But she was already talking about her exorcisms. And as she pointed out the words on the page, she read them aloud. Latin, obviously. Most likely that incantation had been around since the days of the first Bible ever written. The Word of God, in a very literal definition. Once she was done, he tried to read aloud from the words, as they were written.

And it was an absolute disaster.

"Exercise. Exercise-imus -spiritus." He coughed. "Uhm-Omni... pot is a satanicas." He just shook his head, and looked up at her. "Yeah... I'm... sorry about that. I'm gonna have to practice that before I've even got half a shot at it. I don't do stuff like this very often, as you can probably tell. Well... ever, really. As it sits, I don't have a chance in Hell, pardon the pun, of getting it right. I don't suppose you'd mind letting me write that down so I can have time to learn it?" He shook his head, and went back to just listening to what she was saying. She was obviously the authority here after all.

"Okay, so if I can start learning that exorcism spell, and also I guess learning how to draw one of those traps, then I'd at least be able to defend myself while we figure out what the whole story is here, and how we can stop that door from opening. Because from what you're saying, I get the feeling that the only way to really thwart this, is to find their endgame, and set it up somehow, so that whatever they want becomes impossible. Unlike my usual jobs, we can't just hunt down whoever's responsible and put a bullet in them." He chuckled. "Well, guess we could, it just wouldn't do any good.

He looked down at the pendant as she looped it around his neck, unsure exactly what she was up to. He didn't know precisely what the jewelry was, but based on its similarity to some of the pictures in that book, he was able to wager a guess.

"You're right about that. Wouldn't want to go getting myself possessed. Though I wouldn't have even considered such a thing in the realm of possibility a few days ago, it's something that won't be leaving the forefront of my mind now, you can rest assured. As for questions, I can't think of any. Except that you let me copy that spell, and the trap circle, out of your book, so that I can learn them for myself?"
The game sounds like it could be fun. However for purposes of tracking, were we to get a game going, I'd probably rather do so in PMs, at least in the state the board is in now, because I don't see any way to subscribe to, or follow threads. PMs seem to be set up in such a fashion now that they can be easily accessed in their entirety from the front page, and a notification exists that can tell us when a new message has arrived.
Alright. So I'm reintroducing myself. I guess that's what should have been my "first step" as soon as I found out this was back up and running. What I'm really hoping, is to find some of my old partners, who hopefully haven't given up on the site, or me. So I kept my user name the same, and if you're reading along here, and think "hey that sounds familiar" drop me a line. Thanks.
