Will be quite late this time - for Europeans; but Asians may have a better chance.

Maybe not that late, afterall: eventdate

you made him/her look sad both directly AND indirectly.

thanks: this human being was supposed to look that way, 'glad' (s)he did .

Immediately reminds me on "Otto di Catania" by Yello. A song impersonating a sigh.

teacher, teacher… I didn't copy my homeworks! really ! (I had no idea this song existed, and, by the way, it made think about a someone sitting on the step out of an old cafe with lanky, gloomy, metallic chairs and tables, staring at an old open suitcase on the ground… another 4 sentences scene, maybe :p . also, I wasn't thinking of good old sad clowns: it was just Rigwyn's crop failure which made me 'see' dried soil, so 'earth's wrinkles', so…)

Quote from: Rigwyn on April 04, 2013, 02:42:23 pm

The characters are well thought out. The plot is compelling and addictive, and the author is a true sadist. Its this sadism that makes the characters shine. Through all the horrible obstacles that he/she throws at the characters, we see what the characters are made of.  Every tough decision has its consequences too. Nobody gets a free ride, so to speak.

You would like the author to put characters through so much. While it is true you can really get at the core of a character with adversity, I hate to see writers put characters through crisis after crisis without let up. I feel bad for the characters, they can't catch a break and the universe really is out to get them.

I honestly do not know if I agree (not that it matters, but the title of the topic was undemanding enough to let me think that I could post ).
I think that it's possible, yes, to get at the core of characters/to see what they are made of, when they pass through/are immersed in terrifying situations. But even also when they are in happy or strange or unlikely situations. And maybe even when they're in ordinary (but not 'superficial') situations.
Simply, I mean, if something happens, a reaction to that something is called/needed (whatever the 'something' is: a disease, an item/entity out of its usual spot, a story told, something odd somewhere… anything! Except, maybe, char 'A' who talks to char 'B' about their own business: in this case I think that, for an hypothetical unknown non-nosy char 'C', it'd be quite uneasy to stop and do something - if 'A'&'B' 's own business isn't that, perhaps, 'A' is a blue Ynnwn or something somehow peculiar enough...).
So, I was saying, a reaction which would be a different reaction depending on what the situation is and, of course, depending on who the character is. And that's why I think that a reaction to a situation would anyway reveal what the reacting character is made of.
[In short, the key word, as I see it, is 'situations' (or 'plots'), stuff that I am quite unable to create. Anyway I think that if these'd be a bit more findable around, it should be easy enough that anyone who has created a character (and who know his/her char at least vaguely and has no weird problems with RP) would be happy to join, with his/her character's own contents.
But sadly I think I'm wrong somewhere and that I'm still missing something: I'm pretty sure that people able to create situations/build plots do exist, but Yliakum is not properly overflowed by RP... so problems should be somewhere else and I actually can't find'em.]

[And now, a maybe silly question: is character 'A' who talk to character 'B' about their own business labellable as 'social RP'?
Really, I'm asking because, even if Taya and Illysia discussed this in a few lines, pages ago, I still think I don't know. To me, this kind of situation sounds more like a 'restricted social RP' because, like I've already said, I can't easily imagine how any other character could be able to partecipate; on the other hand, undoubtedly, it is social because  'A' e 'B' are talking and there is an interaction.
But if I read 'social RP' I immediately think about something able to involve more characters than those who started it (and maybe I am wrong).
Anyway, that's probably one of the reasons making me seldom post: I'm never sure I'm exactly getting the point about 'definitions' I'm reading in posts...]

[Finally, about details: details are great and it's nice to read a precise description. But it might happen that someone's english competence isn't perfect (but it is, hopefully, anyway, good enough to play), so, the more you write, the more this someone can lose the center, the point, the action (s)he is expected to react to (even if lost in beautiful descriptions!). Or maybe not. But, if you're talking to me, I have to admit that if someone write lines and lines and lines all together I often run the risk to read too fast, missing maybe important infos, a bit worried about the eventuality that if I read too slowly the many-lines-written-all-at-once's writer will fall asleep in the meantime… I mean, if you can paint details with words, it's great and please do, just, sometimes, maybe remember to 'dilute' them and please highlight well any crucial point.]

Will someone post some chatlog snippets of the most interesting parts?

(18:22:44) [Shout] Caraick smiles to Roled, and steps up onto the stage. He turns to the crowd. "It is my great privilege to introduce to you five Masters of their respective Ways. First, we have Master Herihi, of the Dark Way!"
(18:23:01) Eldazar claps for Herihi
(18:23:07) Mordaan claps
(18:23:13) [Shout] Caraick motions for the Panelists to step up onto the stage as they are introduced.

(18:24:39) [Shout] Caraick turns to his right, then. "Next is Master Jilare, of the Red Way!"
(18:24:57) Mordaan claps again
(18:24:58) Qed claps
(18:25:00) Jilare bows
(18:25:03) Gorub claps
(18:25:04) Menille claps for Jilare
(18:25:10) Zirkon claps
(18:25:13) Pakerl applauds merrily
(18:25:37) [Shout] Caraick looks to his right once more, and gestures with his staff. "Please welcome Master Taya, of the Blue Way!"
(18:25:57) Mordaan applauds
(18:26:00) [Shout] Caraick shouts: And last, but certainly not least, Master Lumi, of the Azure Way!
(18:26:04) Menille claps or Taya
(18:26:08) Stalfos cheers
(18:26:11) Mordaan remembers he has a robe and puts it on
(18:26:12) Gorub claps
(18:26:13) Pakerl yells "Hoorray, Taya!"
(18:26:21) Lumi smiles and claps too
(18:26:25) Qed smiles to Lumi
(18:26:30) Zif yea for Taya
(18:26:31) Stalfos realises he should have worn his robe over his armour not under
(18:26:31) Kaerli continues to applaud for the panelists
(18:26:35) Menille claps for Lumi
(18:26:39) Shelte steps over to take a seat as he legs start to ache.
(18:26:44) Lumi mumbles :" small in front !"
(18:26:55) Gonger says: Cheers to the panelists!
(18:27:13) Zif yes,yes, to them all
(18:27:30) Mordaan applauds
(18:27:32) [Shout] Caraick waits for the applause to die down, before raising his voice once more. "Today, I will give each of the Panelists a chance to speak briefly on their Way. Then, I will pose a fewe questions to the Panel, before opening it up to any questions that you, the audience might have!"
(18:29:23) [Shout] Caraick takes a step back, in line with the other Panelists, and gestures to Wolferz. "Master Wolferz, would you care to start by providing a brief speech about your chosen Way?"
(18:29:46) Wolferz nods and takes a small step forwards
(18:31:15) [Shout] Gag shouts: Let's welcome a Derghir to town!
(18:31:25) Mordaan's eyes catch Azarnith
(18:31:54) Kaerli waves to Azarnith "Greetings Azarnith, its good to see an old friend and mentor here."
(18:32:05) Barike turns and bows slightly to Azarnith
(18:32:15) Lumi notices Azarmith aswell and waves to him
(18:32:16) Gag says: And I forgot my Derghan Bell in my storage...
(18:32:25) Stalfos wonders what the Derghir is doing here
(18:32:29) Azarnith pulls out a bell and sets it in front of itself. It nods to the stage and hunkers down with eyes toward the stage.
(18:32:37) Kaerli says: I think he's here for the convention, too.
(18:33:24) Zalya leaves the food table for the moment to get a good look at the new creature that has wandered into town, staring at Azarnith in awe.
(18:33:37) Ezh says: 'My thanks good sir'
(18:33:58) Herihi eyes the dergir suspiciously, wondering why its come into town.
(18:34:24) Kaerli says: Welcome to the Faire and Convention of Mages and Magics.
(18:34:35) Kaerli smiles to Azarnith "I hope you enjoy your time here."
(18:34:42) Zalya looks to the stage, and then departs back to the stand.
(18:35:46) Kaerli says: Greetings Sorcianna.
(18:35:50) Kaerli waves to the Ynnwn.
(18:35:54) Azarnith nods slowly to Kaerli and returns its attention back to the stage.
(18:36:14) Sorcianna waves, smiling. "Hello, Kaerli"
(18:37:33) Menille says: Respect for the speakers please...
(18:38:13) [Shout] Wolferz shouts: Brown way is the way of nature, its is usualy used in deffence, but nature can be a powerful force when it is weilded in battle
(18:38:59) [Shout] Wolferz shouts: followers of the brown way also have the ability to influence the will of animal and plant life
(18:39:15) Qed says: as Levrus says, let's shout of ways
(18:39:35) Lumi giggles to Qed comments, discretly.
(18:39:39) [Shout] Wolferz shouts: due to its strong conection to nature, many of xiosia's followers practice it or at lease have a knowledge of it
(18:39:53) [GM] Aldaaren Phostle shouts: The Derghir menace is upon us
(18:40:10) [Shout] Wolferz shouts: its also has the ability to harden objects or cause strange effects to their weight
(18:40:24) Qed casts sound deprivation to Aldaaren
(18:40:34) [Shout] Wolferz shouts: although perhaps not the most widely practiced way it certainly has hidden power
(18:40:35) Lumi mumbles : " Oh nooo; not Aldaaren , not now"
(18:40:56) [Shout] Wolferz shouts: I would encourage anyone interested in it to persue an understanding of it
(18:41:05) [Shout] Gag shouts: Aldaaren ... you - have - no - idea!
(18:41:28) Wolferz rolls his eyes upon hearing Aldaaren
(18:41:32) [Shout] Caraick shouts: steps forward, as Wolferz finishes. The Clamod bows his head in thanks, then gestures to his left. "Next is Master Herihi." The Clamod steps back to his place in line, and nods. "Herihi?"
(18:42:01) Stalfos says: Mistress surely?
(18:42:19) Herihi nods but keeps staring at Aldaaren as she moves up a bit on the stage.
(18:43:33) Azarnith looks toward the crazy prophet. A low groan comes from the derghir. The shoulders rise slightly and then settle with a gravely sound. The head turns back to the stage.
(18:44:11) Pakerl says: Could someone give a drink to Aldaaren to shut him up?
(18:44:37) Lumi says: I doubt it even work but there is beer available in the food stand
(18:44:48) Lumi points behind the crowd
(18:45:09) Gova says: I don't think providing a madman with alcohol is a good idea...
(18:45:14) Zarre lowers her voice, "A bucket over his head may be a better idea."
(18:46:16) Lumi says: "Aaah he's not a bad lad... " Lumi pokes her head softly : " Jujst something miss there i think.."
(18:46:18) Zirkon thinks providing alcohol is always a good idea.
(18:47:22) [Shout] Herihi shouts: "Dark way is similar to Crystal in that it gains its power from a crystal although Dark gains it from the Dark Crystal in the Death Realm. Many mages in the dark way are some of the most innovative with their magic. This way can be used both for good and evil. Very powerful practicioners can call upon the very shadows to obey them, call upon or create terrifying creatures, and subtly control targets from a distance."
(18:50:03) [Shout] Caraick claps for Herihi, and steps up himself. "Thank you, Master Herihi." he says, before waiting a moment. "Crystal is the way in which power is drawn from the great Crystal most directly. Crystal is renowned for being the most powerful healing way, though the power of the great Crystal can also be channeled very effectively for offensive purposes."
(18:51:16) [Shout] Caraick shouts: Other applications of Crystal way include creating certain auras, and manipulation of light itself. I find it to be a very adaptive, and useful way, and I would encourage everyone to at least develop a basic understanding of Crystal, for the purposes of being able to heal yourself if in need. You might find it saves your life one day.
(18:51:36) [Shout] Caraick smiles, and dips his head, before turning aside to Jilare. "Next is Master Jilare!"
(18:51:59) [Shout] Jilare shouts: Thank you, Caraick.
(18:52:23) [Shout] Jilare shouts: Red Way involves the control and use of fire or heat.
(18:52:56) [Shout] Jilare shouts: Powerful practitioners can throw molten rock and call down bolts of lightning!
(18:53:27) [Shout] Jilare shouts: It is probably the most damaging of the Ways in combat and is commonly practiced by metalurgists and crafters.
(18:53:50) [Shout] Jilare shouts: I also have a confession to make - I am not a master of Red Way.
(18:54:13) [Shout] Jilare shouts: I am a Shadowcaster and therefore Adept in all ways.
(18:55:02) [Shout] Jilare shouts: So I encourage you to think about whether to become a Master in one Way or follow in my path.
(18:55:20) [Shout] Caraick bows his head to Jilare in thanks. The Menki smiles, and claps politely. "Thank you, Jilare. I'm sure there are many who are curious to learn more about your Way, and about the Shadowcasters. Next we have our Blue Way Master!" The Menki looks to Taya, and dips his head.
(18:56:14) [Shout] Taya shouts: Blue way magic concerns itself with all that is flowing and fluid, be this water or time itself. It can be used for many purposes.
(18:56:32) [Shout] Taya shouts: As an offensive magic, it channels water and freezes it, using blades of ice as weapons or it can be used to freeze the ground. But the way is better known for it's use in healing, for many of us, after all, require water to survive.
(18:56:56) [Shout] Taya shouts: But of course, perhaps the most interesting aspect of Blue Way magic is it's ability to peer into the future and to discern what might happen in the days ahead; with this you can judge what an enemy will do before they attack as well, and so respond quicker than they would anticipate possible. True skill is needed to achieve this, but it can be done, just as it is possible to view events from far away and to divine the nature of items with properties that might otherwise remain unknown.
(18:57:53) [Shout] Caraick bows his head to Taya in thanks. The Clamod claps his paws, then turns towards the dwarfess near the end of the stage. "Last, we have Master Lumi, for the Azure Way!"
(18:58:46) Pakerl claps
(18:59:36) Aluna giggles, clapping her hands in joy "Oh wonderful wonderful!" she looks about at the empty stalls "Do I just.... set up somewhere?"
(19:00:05) Pakerl shifts uneasily on the bench and falls off.
(19:00:35) Pakerl says: Sorry...
(19:00:37) Alya smiles when realising the azure way master is a stonebreaker.
(19:00:38) Stalfos looks at the Dermorian and tries to gauge how much she has had to drink
(19:00:50) Zalya looks back and forth. "I guess so... I mean I don't think you need to have anything preregistered."
(19:01:19) [Shout] Lumi shouts: Azure Way Magic has nothing less then the Air as Alie !
(19:01:28) Aluna smiles "Alright. Hmm. Maybe I will wait untill they are done on stage."
(19:01:47) Alya listens,, then blows on her hands, lookingn slightly unsure.
(19:01:51) [Shout] Lumi shouts: Air is everytwhere, Air surround us and is vital.... So is Azure Way magic. It is basically sneaky and an insidious energy as the wind
(19:02:08) Stalfos takes a deep breath, worried that the air might run out
(19:02:36) [Shout] Lumi shouts: The Wind that the Azure Mage can control. Deeper the Azure Magic is the Mind.. The illusions.. The dreams. The Azure Way mage will be able to control any inteelignet beeing WILL
(19:03:19) [Shout] Lumi shouts: It is not the more powerfull in damage but the Mage can win over by controling its ennemy behaviour, digg deep inside his tought and is drived by Nature intuition
(19:03:20) Zalya nods "Thats a good idea. Not many people have been coming over here. I think the'll come and explore the stalls after the speaches."
(19:03:35) Stalfos goggles at the Ylian sinking into the ground and levitating
(19:04:13) Pakerl yells: Yeah Lumi!
(19:04:25) [Shout] Caraick nods his thanks to Lumi, as he steps back forward. "Thank you, Master Lumi," he says, clapping politely for the dwarfess. The Clamod turns his attention towards the crowd, and tilts his head. "At this time, I would open the floor to questions from the audience, but I believe we have a special guest with us today." The Clamod's attention turns over and towards the Derghir standing neadr the crowd's edge. "Perhaps you might have some understanding you wish to share with the Convention today?" he calls over.
(19:04:25) Menille claps in appreciation for all the speakers
(19:04:42) Qed nods to Menille and claps
(19:04:43) Kaerli claps vigorously in appreciation for the panel.
(19:04:44) Gonger says: Yes, let Azarnith speak!
(19:05:12) Aluna looks over at the Derghir "Oh wow! How amazing."
(19:05:15) Pakerl stands up and bows to Azarnith
(19:05:15) Stalfos says: Has everyone else got a Derghan Bell to hand?
(19:05:33) Pakerl nods
(19:06:13) Azarnith raises it's head and looks at Caraick. The head nods slowly, as the voice talks the bell translates. "I was moved by a sense that something interesting was happening."
(19:06:37) Zalya nods "I know. I've never seen one of them up close before. He just wandered in. Should I can them a he? Maybe I should use kra. They are like kran right?"
(19:07:07) [Shout] Caraick dips his head to the Derghir as the bell in the creature's hands translates for the group at large. The Clamod steps back, and gestures to a point near the front of the stage. "Would you care to contribute, then?" he asks.
(19:07:36) Gonger quickly moves out of the way.
(19:07:52) Azarnith listens for a moment and then slowly nods. The stone legs unfold and the derghir moves to the stage.
(19:08:08) Gonger says: Welcome Azarnith.
(19:08:08) Kaerli applauds for Azarnith
(19:08:33) Aluna scratches her head "Oh dear.... I didn't think about Kran! I didn't make anything for them!"
(19:08:39) [Shout] Roled mumbles "Tis Amazing! I haint ne'er seen a Derghir move from the Colony!"
(19:08:42) Zalya looks to Aluna, "I want to go up and listen to what kra has to say."
(19:08:57) Zalya smiles and moves up "Kran don't wear clothes that often."
(19:09:09) Aluna giggles running over to the crowd
(19:09:13) Azarnith eyes the crowd. The eyes linger a moment on the kran in the crowd. The derghir mounts the stage with a tremondous effort.
(19:09:23) [GM] Aldaaren Phostle shouts: You are all going to die. don't say I didn't warn you.
(19:10:10) Azarnith head pivots toward the prophet. The eyes narrow slightly and a low groan comes from the derghir.
(19:10:34) Kaerli grumbles something about crazy people.
(19:11:00) Azarnith sets the bell down at the stone feet. "We are not exempt from being misunderstood, just like all the other races in Yliakum."
(19:11:07) Zalya pushes her way into the crowd. After a moment she spots Lilura. A mischiefous grin spreads accross her face she tars Lilura's right shoulder and then ducks around kra's leftshoulder.
(19:11:47) Azarnith speaks up slightly.
(19:11:53) Kaerli nods in understanding to Azarnith.
(19:12:05) Shelte starts to fall asleep as the derghir speaks, his old eyes needing a little rest.
(19:12:10) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: It is not a well known fact there are actually two types of Derghir in this world.
(19:12:11) Lilura looks to kras right
(19:12:34) Pakerl looks up, surprised
(19:12:35) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: The Agate and the Granite.
(19:12:47) Azarnith steps back away from the kran.
(19:13:04) Lilura looks around confused
(19:13:35) Zalya chuckes a little but her joy is cut short by Aldaaren's rantings. She seems to grow a little scared of what the Derghir might do."
(19:13:49) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: Unfortunately it is unlikely that you will see an Agate near civilazation. They are less social then the granite.
(19:14:13) Azarnith opens its mouth and a drawn out gravelly sound comes out.
(19:14:15) Gag says: I believe he means Ryger as example...
(19:14:17) Munital eyes the derghir with wide opened eyes closely taking notes.
(19:14:41) Aluna looks back at Zalya and smiles as she rushes back by her "So interesing that one would come here!"
(19:15:16) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: I am enjoying my chance to learn more about the city culture.
(19:15:35) Gonger smiles at Zalya. "I do not believe Azarnith means harm. And even if, what could one
(19:15:59) Gonger says: [Sorry, some keyboard trouble...]
(19:16:08) Zalya smiles and looks back "I know. I don't know what to think about kra. It cetainly seems nice, but Aldaaren has been saying that they are no good for years now."
(19:16:16) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: Perhaps I can answer a couple questions since this seems to be a peaceful gathering.
(19:16:56) Gonger says: I have a question: There seem to be so few Derghir. Why is this so?
(19:16:56) Beristie smiles at Azarnith "Did I notice well, you don't really like krans? Why is it that, Azarnith?"
(19:17:01) Gova whispers "Jardet wrote a couple books on the Derghir that you can find in the library. Far more reliable than Aldaaren's mad and racist ramblings."
(19:17:11) [Shout] Zalya's hand shoots up in the back, waiting to be called on.
(19:17:15) Pakerl turns to Zalya: But science has proven Aldaaren wrong. He is just mad...
(19:17:17) Aluna giggles
(19:17:25) Gonger says: Maybe we should form a queue for our questions.
(19:17:26) Azarnith looks Beristie.
(19:17:52) Gag raises his hand
(19:18:06) Munital waves a hand. waiting to be heard and others to be answered.
(19:18:09) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: that is a long and ancient history. Kran for some reason developed a taste for our silicone based bodies and some of our kind have been eaten by kran in the past.
(19:18:27) Azarnith looks at Gag.
(19:18:41) Zalya eyes Lilura suspiously. Still keeping her hand raised.
(19:18:49) Lumi's mouth form an "o" as she listen to Azarnith : " Never knew that.."
(19:18:50) Elhorien waves
(19:18:56) Gag points over to Zalya first: "This lady asked first."
(19:18:59) Wolferz's eyes widen slightly and he glances at the nearest kran with a raised eyebrow
(19:19:19) Pakerl looks up worried...
(19:19:22) Azarnith looks at Zalya, "Please repeat the question."
(19:20:56) Zalya keeps her hand in the air, waiting her turn.
(19:21:10) Gag nods at Zalya
(19:21:22) Lilura glances around for pie
(19:21:27) Azarnith stares at Zalya. "Please ask your question, enkidukai."
(19:22:30) Zalya lowers her hand "I've heared that the Derghir where planning a sort of invasion, is there any truth to that, or is it just rumor?"
(19:22:54) Mordaan hears Roled and chuckles
(19:23:09) Sarras snickers.
(19:23:14) Lumi heard the word "pie" and looks around : " In the stand behind" she shouts in the crowd
(19:23:38) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: "No. There is nothing here that we want or need."
(19:24:10) Gag takes his turn now...
(19:24:23) Zalya nods at the answer to Azarnith's question, visibly relaxed.
(19:24:31) Azarnith turns toward Gag.
(19:24:40) Gag says: I believe I remember that Jardet visits you sometimes. Did you ever have the chance to visit him here in his garden?
(19:24:52) Gag says: Or is Aldaaren always in the way?
(19:25:46) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: Perhaps today I'll visit him.
(19:26:01) Munital clears his throat and waves again.
(19:26:19) Gag says: Then I guess we would try to give you a safe passage...
(19:26:28) Lumi thinks Aldaaren might flee seeing Azanith anyways.
(19:26:56) Gonger says: I would also like to repeat my question: There seem to be so few Derghir. Why is this so?
(19:27:02) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: The spirit of the world has moved me here. I'm sure it will keep me safe, if that is the purpose.
(19:27:29) Azarnith looks to Gonger.
(19:27:46) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: We produce slowly through Gemmation.
(19:28:00) Azarnith looks to Munital.
(19:28:38) Munital says: I would like to ask in regard to the Kran eatin derghir incident. Have the derghir ever fought back in such a situation?
(19:29:02) Azarnith stares at Munital a moment.
(19:29:21) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: If someone tries to eat you, would you stand still?
