      I am really delighted to see so much interest in what I know is going to be a fantastic game. I will be playing here as well and can't wait for all the stories that people will bring. ❤

    • RE: Creative Outlets

      @lithium I don't think the full description ever needs to be reposed, but I love posing the elements of change. What are they wearing? What do they smell like? Wet hair? That you may pick up in conversation depending on how perceptive your character is.

      For me these are huge indicators of mood and where the character was and where they are going. Also I love writing about lighting, but that one may just be me.

      There is nothing like being an adult to appreciate the wonder of a good chiropractor.

      @Auspice In this vein - LORE at lorepodcast.com! It's all about old lore, horror, and supernatural stories and mixes the history behind them with an examination of human fears and fascinations.

    • RE: MUSH Marriages (IC)

      I have had three.

      One my husband died the morning after in a dramatic duel to the death? It was also a secret and and the ensuing baby drama was interesting and a massive dramatic train wreck. But married for the possibility of owning a town - was not a bad gamble on a L&L game. My sworn knights were super awesome afterwards too @Meg 😘

      Another I apped in already married with a very good friend and often rp buddy. It was really interesting to play out that long term relationship and gave them a very different sort of rapport since they were still crazy about each other. They got remarried in space after fighting aliens. Obnoxiously.

      The third was actually also played with the same friend, but they apped in as my NPC hubs after a plotted kidnapping. It was a total arranged marriage and a mix of chilly and mutual respect. So my experience has been that it you like and trust the other player it can be loads of fun! But also don't get hitched the night before a duel. (Or do. Idk)

      @scar That was a glorious pairing. Especially since he seemed like such a good man on paper, an improvement from her terrible flings! (The things you don't know...) She could have fallen for him, but he fell to himself first. It was an awesome arc.

      If it does, then I'm adding red wine.

      If you drink enough of it - it seems like it could be. Mhmm red wine and dark chocolate

      @three-eyed-crow The grandma I could have had... I seriously considered marrying into that family for Rebekkah scenes.

    • RE: RL things I love

      @auspice Look into one pan bake recipes. They are largely protein and veggie based (which you can do frozen or seasonal as budget provides.) and literally involve putting all the shit on one pan and popping it in the oven.

    • RE: Characters You Enjoyed Playing

      To tag on to @saosmash 's mention of our brief foray into F&L and the amazing character relationships there, I deeply enjoyed playing my first nations Nevada ghoul. Wendigo renamed herself into the creature she thought that @Caryatid 's lovely vampire created and slowly cast aside the difficulties of her mortal life for the more insidious dangers of the masquerade. Far older than some of the vampires her humanity lingered only by a thread and the stories she grew up on. It was incredibly interesting to explore her and delve into the history of the area. Also to be a semi-babysitter to neonate babes. Unflappable ghoul.

      Vega at X-Factor has also been one of my recent favorites. A mutant hiding her mutation, working as a cop to try to usher change in from the inside. With bubblegum pink hair. She was a dry sense of humor with a mutation that leaned towards practical mechanics in an increasingly cybernetic world and hostile world. She also had a pair of rocket legs. Which was beyond fun.

      Oldie but a goodie: Ian at BSG Ouroborous. My Hyperion, surfer nurse who found himself caught in the first war. Most notably had a book thrown at him and carried an ear around for an entire scene because the monkey gave it to him.

    • RE: Good Comics for People Who Don't Like Comics?

      Seconding a few mentions here:

      • Monstress - gloriously eerie and dark and one of the best illustrated things on the market. Marjorie Liu is insane. The subject matter is dark and sharply uncomfortable in places.

      • Saga! Beautiful and smart and occasionally quite funny. Unique and different sci-fi meets adventure meets romance? You will want a lying cat.

      • Bitch Planet - Just yes. Written by the indomitable Kelly sue deconnick this book questions society and sometimes flips it the bird. Very tightly written.

      Additionally:
      Wicked + the Divine
      Motor Crush
      The Dark Tower comic series (largely follows book four on)
      Lazarus
      I have a soft spot for Sin City.
      Black Magic

      @ganymede Indeed! I did love the few scenes we had. I may have to dip my toe in WoD again if only for more rp with you and @Caryatid
