My IC Family.

Norwood's got some super solid players/characters around him (including all of the people who call him 'uncle' which is seriously the best.)

And Kenna's married-in-family is awesome, as is so much of her Whitehawk/Mercier, even if some of their players flux a lot at times.

In my eyes IC family trumps having traditional relationship RP.

I am abso-fucking-lutely thrilled because the new Gaston is someone super super awesome that is solid.
We had a family scene last night and I finally felt, for the first time in mooooonths, at ease in Blackram again.

It's the best when you have good family RP

Finding someone really great to RP with that you've apparently been playing in the general vicinity of for a long time but never realized ahhhhhh

It has been a lovely week. I hadn't RPed for ~two weeks because of life, but this week I had break and a chance to reconnect with so many of Norwood and Kenna's connections. Each of their stories got moved forward a little bit and they also got a chance to be involved in other people's stories which was even better.

<3s to everyone.

Things have been kinda bluesy on game for me for a variety of reason and probably heavily influenced by RL stress. But I've found a little side project to work on that makes me really happy, I can't wait until it is polished enough to share, and I hope other folks will have fun with it too! I do not know if I can directly connect it to my PC icly which is somewhat of a bummer, but sometimes it's just fun to do things in the world.

My first like, 9? 10? months of playing Teagan were kinda tumultuous. The first while was just this sort of struggle of figuring out the 'how' of it. I mean, no, it wasn't my first time on Arx but when I played Lou was right at the beginning in Alpha. Things were very different when I picked up Teagan and the learning curve was hard.

And then RL got messy at the beginning of this year with job loss and a job with shitty hours and then new job and...

...then there was the really miserable-making Gaston that nearly drove me to quit the game. Like, it sucked. Bad. I love playing Teagan, but I dreaded even logging in for fear he'd be online.

But the past month-ish? Everything has gelled. I've had some amazing RP. Things are coming together on my character. I'm working with the new Gaston on stuff for Blackram that has me really excited. Like, I feel good about things.

I don't RP anymore but I had a discussion last night with a wonderful friend about RPing with people who pick up what you give them, be it word clues or emitted body language, subtle turn of phrase, even puns and references. It's beautiful when it happens and almost always leads to a memorable connection.

@SinCerely IT'S ME. I AM THE WONDERFUL FRIEND.

Please let it be me.

Crawfish · Dec 5, 2019, 8:42 PM

@Herja YES WOMAN IT WAS. But now everyone is going to pore over your poses like they're Taylor Swift songs, looking for obscure references. YOU BROUGHT THIS ON YOURSELF.

Herja · Dec 5, 2019, 8:43 PM

@SinCerely I just needed to know that I'm wonderful.

Crawfish · Dec 5, 2019, 8:44 PM

@Herja how can you not know this

Crawfish · Dec 5, 2019, 9:47 PM

@Herja wait let me make this awkward-

There we go.

RightMeow · Dec 6, 2019, 3:02 AM

@Herja

I was going to say we should RP so I can pour over your poses. Then I realized I don't want my char to have a painful death.

Herja · Dec 6, 2019, 3:23 AM

@RightMeow Look, even if I killed your character, I would make you -enjoy- dying.

Auspice · Dec 6, 2019, 3:24 AM

I need to RP with @Herja someday.

...on Arx. I've ST'd for her elsewhere.

RightMeow · Dec 6, 2019, 3:48 AM

@Herja

I'm not sure which I'm more afraid of. Losing the char I love. Or realizing I enjoyed it happening. I feel like this is the ST version of: Shhh, let it happen.
