The games are like PS in that they suck up massive amounts of time if you are into them. It has nothing to do with content. The pull of RP is how interesting the story being told is. It's not just the interaction, as even I think small talk and chit chat RP can wear thin pretty quickly, but the anticipation that comes with seeing how the other person reacts to the scenario you give them through your character. Sometimes though, it's not a story that causes the draw so much as the character. Some characters are compelling people and you can't wait to see what they say or do next and you keep waiting for the next joke or antic 5 hours later.
For me, I guess one of my own personal examples would be RPing with Marqsaynt. He's was probably my favorite person to RP with as I would invariably spend most of the time cracking up. Most of his characters were good for one liners and it was fun to sit back and have my character watch his characters interact with other characters. It was a blast. Since I'm forever going on about the old RPs, I think I will go ahead and post snippets of RPs I did in the past so that people who are interested can get an idea of what it is oldies pine after.
I apologize to the oldbies in some of the snippets as they aren't around for me to ask if they mind me posting, but too bad you should have been here to say something.
If you for some reason do really have a problem with having your characters name attached to the RP, I'll go through and edit it out, but there shouldn't be any issues.
This one is the RP where Marqsaynt and Zandral broke up. As good a couple as I thought they made, this was a pretty fun RP to do.
On the rooftop of Kada-el's
(21:56:09) Zandral says: ah...
(21:56:17) Zandral says: I see you found your way up here too...
(21:56:34) Marqsaynt shrugs casually and sets a half empty bottle down on the table...
(21:56:45) Marqsaynt says: Too many blasted idiots downstairs.
(21:56:50) Zandral leans on the table
(21:56:55) Zandral says: I know... that's why I'm up here.
(21:57:05) Zandral says: So, starting the party without me eh?
(21:57:15) Zandral gestures to the bottle
(21:57:55) Marqsaynt looks over at Zandral and raises an eyebrow "Trying to make me go sober, figured I wouldn't drink if you weren't around?"
(21:59:02) Zandral makes a face "No, I... i'd rather not talk about it.... it didn't go well...." she sighs and her shoulders slump
(21:59:52) Marqsaynt slides the bottle over to Zandral without asking.
(22:00:15) Zandral shrugs and takes a drink from the bottle
(22:00:43) Zandral says: Hmph...
(22:00:51) Zandral says: So... anything happen while I was gone?
(22:01:27) Marqsaynt says: Uh... *shrugs casually* You know how it is.
(22:02:51) Zandral says: Same stupid mess, different day?
(22:03:16) Marqsaynt says: Something like that... *nods at the bottle* you going to drink that?
(22:03:24) Zandral hands it back over
(22:03:39) Marqsaynt takes another swig from the bottle.
(22:04:05) Zandral sits on the edge of the table and looks back over her shoulder at Marqsaynt
(22:04:37) Marqsaynt raises the bottle in a silent cheers and takes yet another drink.
(22:05:55) Zandral looks at Marqsaynt "So, we agreeing to be miserable together today? " she manages a small smile and a dry chuckle
(22:06:45) Marqsaynt says: Mutual assured misery? Sounds like a lousy way to spend the day.
(22:06:57) Zandral says: Got any better ideas?
(22:07:30) Marqsaynt says: Could start by telling me why you're in such a lousy blasted mood.
(22:07:57) Zandral's face darkens "..."
(22:08:40) Zandral makes a smacking noise "Failed entry into the political realm number whatever..."
(22:09:12) Marqsaynt shrugs casually
(22:10:07) Zandral says: it didn't go right...
(22:10:11) Zandral says: What about you?
(22:10:58) Marqsaynt says: I... got a woman killed.
(22:11:38) Zandral lifts an eyebrow "Told too much information or something?"
(22:12:04) Marqsaynt says flatly "No."
(22:12:12) Marqsaynt says: Ambushed.
(22:12:22) Marqsaynt says: Stabbed in the back.
(22:23:52) Zandral says: That doesn't necessarily have anything to do with you. people get ambushed and stabbed all the time around here.
(22:24:19) Marqsaynt takes another drink from the bottle and adds "I was sitting next to her when it happened."
(22:25:01) Zandral says: Still not your fault. And if it happened in the city, no more so your job than the guards...
(22:25:50) Marqsaynt doesn't say anything.
(22:27:32) Zandral shrugs "Ah, don't be so hard on yourself... it's a rough place around here. She might even be better off in the death realm considering."
(22:27:56) Marqsaynt says with a bit of an edge "Considering what?"
(22:28:57) Zandral says: Considering the current state of affairs here on the dome. The safest place on the dome is likely Gug but Illysia is there so that is debateable.
(22:29:38) Marqsaynt says: Always such an optimist.
(22:30:06) Zandral says: I can't make charmflowers out of trepor dung....
(22:30:08) Zandral shrugs
(22:30:59) Marqsaynt smirks "So why don't we all just blasted throw ourselves into the nearest ravine? May be better off."
(22:32:46) Zandral says: Nah, you gotta survive the trip to the ravine first.
(22:32:54) Zandral sticks her tongue out at Marqsaynt
(22:33:02) Marqsaynt says: Cute...
(22:33:17) Zandral says: Always.
(22:33:19) Zandral smiles
(22:33:22) Marqsaynt takes another swig, then holds the bottle up to eye level to see how much is left.
(22:35:03) Zandral says: Oh come on, you can't call me on being less than positive if your going to drown your sorrows in a bottle behind some random woman.
(22:35:36) Marqsaynt smirks "You got a better reason to drink?"
(22:36:31) Zandral says: "I've got a million of them, but surely you don't want to just drink your life away." she grins at Marqsaynt coyly
(22:37:12) Marqsaynt arches an eyebrow "Why not? I thought that was the crux of this blasted conversation?"
(22:37:38) Marqsaynt says: End it, life's better when you're dead.
(22:38:03) Zandral sighs and rests her hand over her face
(22:38:14) Zandral says: So... let me get this straight....
(22:38:54) Zandral says: Some random woman dies in a completely common way next to you and now you are ready to give up on everything?
(22:39:05) Zandral lifts an eyebrow and looks at Marqsaynt
(22:39:51) Marqsaynt shrugs nonchalantly and says sarcastically "What can I say, I'm, uh, sensitive?"
(22:40:19) Zandral says: Not that sensitive...
(22:40:29) Marqsaynt says: So what are you getting at?
(22:40:40) Zandral looks at Marqsaynt "Was it that Mellas woman?"
(22:41:29) Marqsaynt for a brief moment looks caught off-guard but, recovers quickly "Where'd you hear that?"
(22:42:45) Zandral narrows her eyes "I guessed..."
(22:42:50) Zandral says: Well?
(22:43:03) Zandral looks at Marqsaynt expectantly but not too pleased
(22:43:06) Marqsaynt says: You've seen her? She alright?
(22:44:26) Zandral says: No... I haven't....
(22:44:46) Marqsaynt settles back down in his chair. "Yeah, alright."
(22:45:59) Zandral says: Why do you care so much what happens to her?
(22:46:15) Marqsaynt says: You seem to have things all figured out, why don't you tell me.
(22:49:06) Zandral says: I don't know... I've been wonder that myself for awhile now. Enlighten me...
(22:49:17) Zandral's tone starts to take a sharp edge
(22:49:32) Marqsaynt says: Nothings happened...
(22:49:55) Zandral says: Who is she?
(22:49:57) Marqsaynt says: She's engaged. Technically *points to himself* You can't pin anything on me.
(22:50:23) Zandral turns around more and stiffens a bit
(22:50:33) Zandral says: You mean I haven't found anything yet...
(22:51:44) Zandral says: So, she is just some random wench that you stumbled across?
(22:52:08) Marqsaynt says: You're angry... I'll let that slide...
(22:52:45) Zandral says: Oh... I suppose it's your turn to do that anyway...
(22:52:52) Marqsaynt says: The only thing you've found, and that you're going to find is I'm not happy.
(22:52:59) Marqsaynt says: I didn't -do- anything.
(22:53:08) Zandral looks a little more irritated
(22:53:57) Zandral says: So you are unhappy because she is dead or because you didn't do anything while you had the chance?
(22:55:21) Marqsaynt leans forward slightly "I'm unhappy because... I don't want the same things you want."
(22:55:48) Zandral stiffens more and leans back "And what do you want?"
(22:57:26) Marqsaynt says: Better question, what is it you want?
(22:58:45) Zandral says: No... that is just another question and a bad dodge...
(22:59:15) Marqsaynt says: Marriage, Family, Kids?
(22:59:21) Zandral says: But I want to be a vigesimi, I may not get there by the easy road but I haven't entirely given up yet...
(22:59:40) Marqsaynt says: You'd never get there with me, Beautiful...
(22:59:44) Zandral says: Anything else comes after, sure mother would like grandchildren but it can wait.
(22:59:51) Zandral says: Why not?
(23:00:50) Marqsaynt says: I don't want to get married, Zandral... I don't want any blasted kids... and I don't want to be the silent partner of a Vigisimi...
(23:01:09) Marqsaynt says: I've come out of "retirement."
(23:01:10) Zandral just sits there silent
(23:01:17) Zandral says: Oh...
(23:01:53) Zandral turns her head "Well... for once, I guess you are right..."
(23:02:19) Zandral tries to say something but just doesn't
(23:02:35) Marqsaynt says: I like what we have... I care about you
Zandral... but, I don't think we have a future. (Someone hacked this response in as we were RPing. I guess the hacker thought it was compelling enough to pay attention to, even if they were potentially going to make a mess of it. :p )
(23:14:24) Zandral says: Yes, but you just said you can't be happy with what I want...
(23:15:30) Marqsaynt says: I kill people for a living, Zandral... are you telling me you're alright with that?
(23:15:44) Zandral says: I can live with it.... No pun intended.
(23:15:50) Zandral shrugs
(23:16:05) Zandral says: If I was that delicate, I would not be here now.
(23:16:48) Marqsaynt says: And what about that career of yours?
(23:17:14) Zandral chuckles "You honestly think that the vigesimi are that squeaky clean?"
(23:17:39) Zandral looks back at Marqsaynt "I never realized you were that naive." she grins
(23:18:12) Marqsaynt raises an eyebrow "I try to stay out of politics, Beautiful... *winks* Too blood thirsty"
(23:20:02) Zandral says: And you ask me if I mind your profession....
(23:20:44) Zandral says: While I am touched you think to save my reputation, I'm afriad you are still functioning under a few misunderstandings...
(23:21:25) Marqsaynt says: Doesn't change the rest.
(23:21:32) Zandral says: What rest?
(23:21:52) Marqsaynt says: Zandral, I don't want to marry you.
(23:22:28) Marqsaynt says: I don't want kids... I don't want in-laws, I don't want to live in a blasted tent.
(23:23:37) Zandral says: Ok fine, I'll conceed the ultic part but when did I ever ask for the rest?
(23:23:45) Zandral lifts an eyebrow
(23:24:57) Marqsaynt gives Zandral a look "I thought you just blasted told me you wanted all that, "later"
(23:25:23) Zandral says: I said we could do it later... I thought you had all of a sudden decided you wanted it. I was humoring you.
(23:25:44) Zandral looks at Marqsaynt as if he as grown another head "You need to lay off the liquor buddy..."
(23:27:41) Marqsaynt says: How is it you can be so blasted rational about all this? This has nothing to do with logic, it's passion, and feeling, and lust, and love.... Life isn't a politics textbook!
(23:28:44) Zandral says: And what does that have to do with politics...
(23:29:27) Zandral says: Look, any politican worth their weight in paper knows bad stuff happens, bad people exist, crime will find it's way....
(23:29:55) Zandral says: A smart politician also knows about cutting deals and being practical.... discriminating, but practical.
(23:30:31) Zandral says: I can live with your little career move. It won't be the last time I intend to turn my head the other way.
(23:30:58) Zandral says: Love, lust, and passion is all fine and good but I really don't see where that comes into it.
(23:31:37) Marqsaynt leasn forward, looks Zandral dead in the eyes and says plain and simple "I don't want to have to compromise... This isn't some blasted deal to negotiate."
(23:32:12) Zandral sighs "Men... always over complicating things. What compromise?"
(23:32:39) Marqsaynt leans back in his chair and runs a hand through his hair...
(23:32:56) Zandral looks at Marqsaynt expectantly
(23:33:45) Marqsaynt says: Gods, am I going to have to spell it out... Zandral, I should be happy but, I'm not....
(23:34:11) Marqsaynt says: As far as I can figure it... I care about you but, Beautiful.. I don't love you.
(23:35:29) Zandral looks stunned
(23:36:14) Zandral just sits there with her mouth opening and closing
(23:37:00) Marqsaynt says: I'm sorry... it's nothing you did... and it has nothing at all to do with logic.
(23:37:45) Zandral says: What?
(23:37:51) Zandral blinks a bit
(23:38:53) Zandral giggles "no no no.... I couldn't have heard that right..."
(23:39:21) Marqsaynt says: I don't know how I could have said it any more clearly...
(23:39:23) Zandral waves her hand dismissively while wearing a tight smile "What was that again?"
(23:40:25) Zandral looks Marqsaynt directly in the eye
(23:40:33) Zandral says: So that's it?
(23:40:45) Zandral asks sweeetly "Nothing more to say?"
(23:41:08) Marqsaynt says: Not at the moment.
(23:41:32) Zandral says: well, then... I suppose there is.... nothing more to say for me either.
(23:41:51) Zandral says: "I guess I'll go get my things..." she plasters on a smile
(23:41:58) Marqsaynt says: Wait...
(23:42:13) Marqsaynt says: I'll move out. You can keep the room.
(23:42:19) Zandral says: Fine....
(23:42:31) >Zandral Caterean stands up.
(23:42:34) >Marqsaynt stands up.
(23:42:50) Zandral says: I suppose I should thank you though...
(23:43:07) Marqsaynt raises an eyebrow "You're kidding?"
(23:43:12) Zandral says: It wouldn't do for me to tied down with an old man anyway.... I still have so much left to do.
(23:43:26) Zandral smiles spitefully at Marqsaynt
(23:43:39) Marqsaynt's jaw tightens slightly but he takes it...
(23:43:49) Zandral sways a little more as she heads for the stairs
(23:43:49) Marqsaynt says: Anything else?
(23:44:08) Zandral says: "Nothing...." she calls back
This next one is me, Marqsaynt and Ixala. I mostly sat back and watched for this RP as I was just dying laughing. (in fact, if you bust a gut while reading this, I take no responsibility. Just head to the nearest hospital and have them sew you back up,) Once I got the point that I could almost understand her it was hilarious and watching her and Marq go back and forth was classic. I miss watching two funny characters going at it. It's one of the few times when you feel perfectly content sitting back and not participating in the RP that you could be sitting in the middle of. You know what... I think this is the first time I've ever been able to completely understand what was said in this RP. I guess there is something to be said for rereading your old RPs, you'll never know what you'll get out of it. I guess there should also be a slight PG-13 warning for a few allusions but there's nothing outrageous or anything.
Siting inside Kada-El's
(22:51:48) Ixala bumps into Marqsaynt
(22:52:01) Ixala says: oiy.. wassa.. a frakin' door or summit...
(22:52:07) Marqsaynt catches himself on the doorframe.
(22:52:22) Ixala puts her hands on her hips
(22:52:26) Marqsaynt says: Funny, I thought shadows stopped when I did.
(22:52:51) Ixala says: I ainten nea flipen shaadoo... ya's .. gurt ooof.
(22:52:55) Ixala frowns
(22:53:11) Ixala looks down at her chest
(22:53:20) Ixala says: ya's purrem all oota line...
(22:53:31) Marqsaynt smirks and gestures towards the door "Ladies first... I blasted guess that includes you."
(22:53:33) Ixala lifts her hands to her chest and adjusts herself
(22:53:52) Ixala says: shud frakin' fink so too..
(22:53:55) Ixala smirks
(22:54:23) Zandral lounges lazily in her chair
(22:54:35) Ixala leans her small frame on the bar
(22:54:45) Marqsaynt looks from Ixala to Zandral and walks over "That seat taken?"
(22:55:06) Zandral looks up and smiles widely "Not at all..."
(22:55:20) Ixala says: wanna watch im... luv... ees likely t'bump ya's offa tha sea' yassis on!
(22:55:27) >Marqsaynt takes a seat.
(22:56:00) Zandral looks oddly at Mimmi for a moment before turning her attention to Marqsaynt
(22:56:10) Marqsaynt raise an eyebrow at Ixala "I'd be offended... maybe, if I could blasted understand what you were saying. Let me guess, raised by Ulbers?"
(22:56:16) Zandral says: You can bump me anywhere you like.
(22:56:23) Zandral laughs
(22:56:20) Ixala says: wa'were tha' look fur? wa' I do?
(22:56:42) Zandral says: Well, mangling the language for one...
(22:56:58) Ixala says: I ainten manglin' nowt
(22:57:13) Zandral leans her head on her hand and looks at Mimmi with an amused grin "But you are...."
(22:57:19) Ixala says: s'ya frappin furry ears a fluffin it up.
(22:58:23) Zandral says: And your mouth is twisting and turning simple words in way that should be considered cruel and unusual punishment....
(22:58:39) Marqsaynt jokes "For the people who blasted have to listen to it."
(22:59:00) Ixala pouts and frowns at the same time
(22:59:12) Ixala says: ya'sis cruel....
(22:59:20) Zandral says: Last I check the laws only cared about mangling people, not their ears or their words.
(22:59:27) Marqsaynt shrugs casually "It's a cruel realm."
(22:59:30) Ixala says: bumprin inta folk.. and makin' mikki
(22:59:31) Marqsaynt says: You got a name?
(23:00:05) Ixala says: Mimmi
(23:00:07) Zandral mutters quitely "Probably, but I doubt we'd understand it or be able to pronounce it...."
(23:00:14) Ixala points at her self questioningly
(23:00:36) Ixala says: s'nea tha'ard..
(23:00:38) Ixala mutters
(23:00:58) Zandral says: Mimmi is it?
(23:01:00) Marqsaynt looks over at Zandral a grins "Her name is the first thing I was able to understand."
(23:01:07) Zandral crosses her legs
(23:01:46) Ixala says: p'raps yas needs a few o'em noggin' fings tha' thur schoolers are allays unnaboot!
(23:01:55) Zandral grins at Marqsaynt "Next time, don't don't bump into people so hard. You might rattle their words again."
(23:02:16) Marqsaynt gives his best innocent look "Hey, she bumped into me."
(23:02:42) Ixala says: I nevva.. ya's suddenly were a frakin' door..!
(23:03:00) Zandral says: A door?
(23:03:07) Marqsaynt looks back to Ixala "Then next time blasted knock!"
(23:03:15) Zandral laughs
(23:03:31) Ixala says: I wulda.. burr... burr.....
(23:03:37) Ixala struggles to find a retort.
(23:03:46) Zandral giggles again
(23:04:06) Ixala says: Yasis lackin' a flippin' knocker!
(23:04:46) Ixala says: Mind tha.. yas' were happi'enuf t'muddle mine...
(23:04:48) Marqsaynt shrugs "I knew I forgot something this morning."
(23:04:56) Zandral laughs
(23:05:06) Zandral says: That and the rest of the days events...
(23:05:39) Ixala stares at Zandral
(23:06:10) Ixala says: doon I know tha....
(23:06:13) Marqsaynt throws Zandral a wink "Hey, I remember the important ones."
(23:06:32) Zandral grins at Marqsaynt "You better..."
(23:06:56) Marqsaynt turns back to Ixala "So, Mimi what are you doing around here? Or did blasted Laanx just put you in the realm to get back at me?"
(23:07:07) Ixala grins
(23:08:15) Ixala lifts her finger up and waggles it a little then as she makes a tsss sound as she sucks in her breath.. she zig-zags her hand down to her bottom that she punts out towards Marqsaynt... and presses her finger onto her bum...
(23:08:33) Ixala says: I is faa too 'ot fur tha.. likes oo.. tha...
(23:09:02) Zandral laughs "I find that hard to believe."
(23:09:27) Marqsaynt raises an eyebrow and says sarcastically "Right... guess I'll save myself the trouble and just not even try."
(23:09:36) Ixala folds her arms as she stares at Zandral for a moment
(23:10:06) Marqsaynt sends Zandral a grin "Guess I'll just have to "settle" for you..."
(23:10:08) Zandral looks Mimmi in the eye
(23:10:28) Zandral looks at Marqsaynt and rolls her eyes "You never settled for so good."
(23:10:33) Zandral smiles
(23:10:34) Ixala says: I duz know tha.... yas is a frakkin' toofle ainten ya...
(23:11:06) Zandral says: Toofle?
(23:11:12) Zandral lifts an eyebrow
(23:11:27) Marqsaynt says: You know, toofle... as in too, uh, toof.
(23:11:29) Marqsaynt grins.
(23:11:35) Ixala says: tho... ya's as... dyed tha' fur or summit... istha on the run or summit?
(23:12:16) Ixala says: yasis tha' frakin toofle Cat in a reen... ainten tha...
(23:12:26) Zandral says: On the run? My dear, I need not run from anyone.
(23:12:40) Zandral says: And I am most certainly not a cat...
(23:12:46) Zandral narrows her eyes at Mimmi
(23:13:22) Ixala says: ya's is ainten tha... tha' frappin royalis' cat-in-a-reen.
(23:13:38) Zandral says: Caterean?
(23:13:42) Zandral laughs
(23:13:46) Ixala says: yur.. s'wa' I said
(23:14:17) Zandral says: I may be a Caterean but I am not affiliated with the "Royals" that is my sister.
(23:14:28) Ixala says: ya's sister...
(23:14:36) Marqsaynt laughs
(23:14:48) Ixala looks at Marqsaynt
(23:14:49) Marqsaynt says: Oh gods.. she thought you were Illysia!
(23:15:01) Ixala says: wha.... em's looks a like...
(23:15:06) Marqsaynt says: Dyed fur... that's too fantastic.
(23:15:16) Zandral makes a face "Ughh..."
(23:15:19) Marqsaynt looks at Zandral, then back to Ixala "I don't see the resemblance."
(23:15:46) Ixala says: ya's gorra looka' thur face.. nea the frappin jugglers... sheesh.. men!
(23:16:16) Zandral laughs
(23:16:38) Marqsaynt stifles a grin "That was actually pretty good... assuming I'm blasted translating it right."
(23:16:54) Zandral laughs again
(23:17:05) Ixala says: ya's betcha!
(23:17:15) Ixala nods putting her hand on her hip again
(23:17:27) Marqsaynt says: Your tongue may be fighting your teeth but, at least it's sharp enough.
(23:17:55) Zandral breaks into peals of laughter
(23:18:35) Zandral says: You always do like a girl to fire a come back at you don't you?
(23:18:41) Ixala says: ya's wachit.... me foot as a frappin ta'oo... i'reads, iffen tha's readin vis.. yas nea quick enuf..
(23:20:11) Zandral looks over at Marqsaynt "Hmm... you may need to be careful."
(23:20:48) Marqsaynt gives Zandral a look "I hope that's a joke."
(23:20:58) Ixala says: so.. yas' nea a frappin toofle en...
(23:21:11) Zandral shakes her head at Marqsaynt
(23:21:23) Ixala looks at Zandral... as she thumbs at Marqsaynt
(23:21:55) Ixala says: cuz'ims nea un.. eee culdnea be... tea frappin common fur a frappin toofle...
(23:22:04) Marqsaynt says to Zandral "You catch that last one or did it all sound like a yulber that just got its tail stomped on?"
(23:22:44) Zandral laughs
(23:22:59) Marqsaynt says: Guess that's a 'no.'
(23:23:11) Zandral says: I haven't figured out what a toofle is but I think I got the rest of it.
(23:23:23) Ixala leands back on the chair aside her.
(23:23:26) Marqsaynt looks back to Ixala "Fine, new topic. How do you know her *nods towards Zandral* Sister?
(23:23:50) Zandral looks back at Mimmi
(23:24:05) Ixala says: She's a soddin' toofle a' runs thur gug place.
(23:24:29) Ixala looks at the back of her hand...
(23:24:30) Zandral leans over "Still haven't gotten toofle yet..."
(23:24:45) Marqsaynt jokes "But she's a toofle too... must run in the family."
(23:25:01) Zandral rolls her eyes
(23:25:11) Ixala says: oh for fraks sake... a soddin richun... a toofle.. a tooofee nosed soddin toofle
(23:25:32) Zandral says: A rich person?
(23:25:42) Marqsaynt laughs again
(23:25:51) Ixala says: 'n'stuckup 'n'all
(23:25:53) Marqsaynt looks over at Zandral "You've been holding out on me."
(23:26:06) Marqsaynt looks back to Ixala "A snob?"
(23:26:13) Zandral grins "no, I left it in my other fur."
(23:26:35) Ixala says: well... ainten thee thur smar'un..
(23:26:36) Marqsaynt chuckles and gives Zandral a quick wink "Next time you're buying the drinks."
(23:26:39) Zandral says: One thing my sister isn't is a snob.... She has too many weird friends to call her that.
(23:26:49) Ixala slaps her head at Marqsaynt
(23:26:50) Marqsaynt smirks "Well I have my moments."
(23:27:37) Ixala says: ems... all royals.. an' all royals are fraking toofles... a tooflin' away's at thee...
(23:27:51) Ixala mutters
(23:27:52) Zandral says: She's not even a royal.
(23:28:07) Ixala says: she wear ems mark...
(23:28:08) Zandral says: She's a fenki from an unheard of town in the country...
(23:28:12) Marqsaynt says: Whoa, wait. All three?
(23:28:33) Marqsaynt says: Who's the third?
(23:28:45) Zandral rolls her eyes "And you wear a mouth but I can't call you an orator for that."
(23:29:01) Ixala says: fird?
(23:29:05) Marqsaynt rubs his forehead, looking like he's getting a headache...
(23:29:23) Ixala says: I ainten inta' oratin.. s'gustin... tha's fur wenches...
(23:29:29) Marqsaynt says: forget it, i heard "fird" but it was "thee".
(23:29:55) Zandral rolls here eyes and mutter "Stupid girl....."
(23:30:10) Zandral says: Oration is speaking done by speakers...
(23:30:14) Ixala purses her lips
(23:30:56) Ixala mimmics Zandral, almost perfectly in sound 'Oration... is for your mouth and other things...'
(23:31:15) Marqsaynt arches an eyebrow "Say that again."
(23:31:31) Zandral narrows her eyes "And a brain is apparently not for the likes of you..."
(23:31:51) Marqsaynt puts a hand up to Zandral "Hold up a second."
(23:32:43) Zandral just looks at Marqsaynt
(23:32:46) Ixala snaps back at Zandral almost alike Zandral's voice 'oh, and you are nea a toofle... what brain.'
(23:33:18) Ixala swallows hard as she refrains from coughing.
(23:33:25) Marqsaynt looks over at Zandral "I think you jarred something free in the blasted head of hers... almost sounds like words."
(23:33:52) Zandral says: I doubt anything rattles around in the emptiness between her ears...
(23:34:36) Zandral looks back at Mimmi "I know enough to know you wouldn't know a brain if you suddenly developed one."
(23:34:38) Ixala jiggles her head side to side and mimmics Marqsaynt.. albeit a little too high voiced.. but is sounds like him 'you can't talk... '
(23:35:13) Marqsaynt seems amused.
(23:35:19) Zandral says: Which is more than you can do....
(23:35:26) Ixala stomps off...
(23:35:34) Zandral says: You can't make proper sounding words...
(23:35:45) Ixala pauses only to say as she grips her backside
(23:35:54) Marqsaynt says: Those sounded pretty blasted proper to me...
(23:35:59) Ixala sounds like Marqsaynt 'BITE ME'
(23:36:05) Zandral says: You first.
(23:36:09) Zandral smiles
(23:36:35) Zandral says: Or better yet.... pucker up....
(23:36:42) Marqsaynt gives a so-so sign with his hand "Sounds not bad but, didn't catch the character."
(23:37:17) Zandral looks back at Marqsaynt "Huh?"
(23:37:37) Marqsaynt says: The voice... I've never said blasted "bite me" in my life.
(23:38:12) Marqsaynt says: Too easy.. too dumb... *grins* too much like Org.
(23:38:15) Zandral shrugs "Have you ever seen her before?"
(23:38:18) Zandral laughs
(23:38:25) Marqsaynt rubs his jaw, thinking...
(23:38:53) Marqsaynt says: Maybe... *grins* Usually my memory is so blasted good too.
(23:39:00) Zandral grins
This RP is set in the Aftermath of Zandral and Marqsaynt breaking up. I was RPing with Orgonwukh. Org is a very distinct and funny character too but more so because of his antics than what he says. As a bit of background, Org and Marq were not on good terms with each other and for various reasons Zandral didn't like him either. However, in the aftermath of the break up, Zan was planning some serious payback and not the toss your stuff out the second story window kind of revenge either. She was trying to recruit Org for the plan.
It was a shame... the plan was so good it was juicy. But when I actually implemented it, I did an experiment. I completely let the RP go the way it was going to go without trying to enforce any direction. I didn't want it to be scripted. End the end it went exceedingly well at first and then got completely shut down, Marq got saved in the end. Even though the bulk of the plan never panned out I think it was still fun as it allowed the player actions (character reactions) to define the outcome of the RP instead of OOC guiding and directing.
(16:14:41) Orgonwukh storms into tavern
(16:14:47) Zandral looks over at Orgonwukh for a moment and starts to frown but then smiles
(16:14:48) Orgonwukh says: Gree....
(16:14:58) Zandral says: Huh?
(16:15:34) Orgonwukh says: ...tings brave citizens and Zandral.
(16:15:40) Orgonwukh smirks and walks to the counter
(16:15:44) Samaiel rolls his eyes. "Good." and looks back at Orgonwukh, running a seemingly disinterested eye over the Diaboli before looking back at Zandral.
(16:15:44) Zandral says: Alright....
(16:16:02) Samaiel grins. "Is this the big boy you were talking about?"
(16:16:14) Zandral looks at Samaiel for a moment and smiles "Excuse me for a moment."
(16:16:18) >Zandral Caterean stands up.
(16:16:20) Samaiel nods, shrugging.
(16:16:35) Zandral says: Org! how good to see you....
(16:16:47) Orgonwukh stiffens a bit as Zandral comes closer "Yeeees? Really?"
(16:17:02) Azilim smirks a bit and pops his back, sipping his drink.
(16:17:12) Zandral smiles "Of course. How have you been? Is that Red Crystal Den of yours going well?"
(16:18:07) Orgonwukh looks a bit unsure at Zandral "I am fine." he pauses "I am not involved in that business." he pauses "Why the heck are you asking me? Last time we met you send a mug flying towards me as far as I remember."
(16:18:26) Orgonwukh looks Zandral over suspiciously
(16:18:28) Zandral says: Oh trifles... triffles....
(16:18:31) Fuflu chuckles quietly
(16:18:39) Zandral says: I appologize... I overracted.
(16:18:48) Zandral says: Surely we can put it behind us?
(16:18:52) Zandral smiles sweetly
(16:19:23) Orgonwukh tilts his head from left to right, pondering for a moment, then he sketches a broad smile "Suuuuure."
(16:19:29) Zandral says: Good.
(16:19:43) Zandral says: In fact. Let me buy you a drink to make up for it.
(16:20:00) Zandral lays some tria on the counter and orders a beer for Org
(16:20:04) Samaiel watches the exchange, a candid smile on his face
(16:20:11) Orgonwukh says: Uhm, I prefer liquor!
(16:20:17) Zandral says: fine...
(16:20:26) Zandral looks at Allelia "A red liquor then..."
(16:20:55) Zandral smiles at Orgonwukh "It's been awhile since i've seen you about but it is so good to see you again."
(16:21:26) Orgonwukh says: Yeah, it's always good to meet the champ, eh? As long as you are in good standing, that is, of course.
(16:21:29) Orgonwukh chuckles impishly
(16:21:54) Zandral giggles "Yes... of course. You know what... I have a little proposition for you."
(16:22:01) Samaiel watches Orgonwukh, ears flicking back ever so slightly
(16:22:38) Orgonwukh laughs "Aaaah! I knew it! You want something! Speak up!"
(16:22:54) Zandral says: So loud...
(16:23:12) Orgonwukh stiffles his laughter "Sorry..."
(16:23:16) Zandral says speaks quietly
(16:23:35) Orgonwukh looks at Estava over Zandral's shoulder, stiffening a bit again
(16:23:50) [Tell] Zandral whispers "I know you don't care for Marqsaynt all that much... How would you like a chance to get good and even?"
(16:24:05) Zandral gives Orgonwukh a devious smile
(16:26:19) Samaiel closes his eyes, flicking a tria between his fingers again.
(16:26:38) Zandral looks behind her
(16:26:53) Zandral says: Need help miss?
(16:27:03) Estava stares at Orgonwukh
(16:27:41) Zandral looks expectantly at Estava
(16:27:42) Orgonwukh grins at Estava "Sorry, not available tonight." and he sniggers
(16:28:07) Zandral sighs and turns around
(16:28:08) Fuflu shkes her head at Orgonwukh
(16:28:21) Zandral addresses Org "Well?"
(16:28:39) Fuflu walks downstairs
(16:28:46) Orgonwukh says: What happened? I suppose cheating? Hmm?
(16:28:54) Zandral says: Nevermind that...
(16:28:57) Zandral smiles
(16:29:24) Orgonwukh's face lights up "Aaah, cheating. It's the diaboli nature. Not everyone can control it."
(16:29:30) Orgonwukh shrugs "I am open for ideas."
(16:30:06) Zandral says: Oh... let's put it this way... He won't know what's going on and you will be free to do what you like soon...
(16:30:16) Zandral says: I just need...
(16:30:22) Zandral speaks quietly again
(16:31:01) [Tell] Zandral whispers "to get him alone again and then he won't know what hit him... or anything else for that matter."
(16:31:13) Zandral smiles sweetly... too sweetly
(16:31:24) Estava leans against the counter, patiently waiting
(16:31:25) Orgonwukh leans towards Zandral again, eyeing Estava over her shoulder, also winking and smiling at Kauwela shortly
(16:31:55) Zandral says: Sound good?
(16:32:09) Orgonwukh's eyes widen a bit, then he nods shortly
(16:32:22) Zandral says: Good...
(16:32:57) Zandral says: You'll know everything is in order, when you aren't... recognized..
(16:33:03) Zandral smiles
(16:33:51) Orgonwukh just shortly nods once
(16:34:04) Zandral looks back at the ylian behind her in irritation
(16:34:16) Zandral looks back to Orgonwukh "Any questions?"
(16:34:57) Orgonwukh nods "Can we seal this new friendship?"
(16:35:03) Zandral says: How so?
(16:35:21) Orgonwukh opens his arms and grins broadly "Hug?"
(16:35:52) Zandral says: Won't Dinn.... er.... um... Semutara object?
(16:36:13) Orgonwukh says: Naaaah, it's just business issue!
(16:36:42) Orgonwukh attempts to hug Zandral
(16:36:43) Zandral sighs "fine" she quickly makes a face before opening up her arms
(16:36:53) Zandral hugs Orgonwukh
(16:37:15) Orgonwukh laughs and hugs Zandral tightly, running his hands over her back, trying to detect something she might conceal
(16:38:03) Estava giggles. watching the two
(16:38:18) Zandral says: Alright alright...
(16:38:21) Orgonwukh finishes his search by casually squeezing a butt cheek slightly, then lets Zandral go off again
(16:38:22) Zandral pulls away
(16:38:23) Orgonwukh says: That felt good.
(16:38:35) Zandral gives Orgonwukh a look
(16:38:39) Zandral says: Let's not get happy now...
(16:38:52) Orgonwukh grins innocently
This last one is actually set before Marq and Zan broke up, in fact I think this is before they were officially together(wow it's been awhile. This RP is a year old). I'm including it because of the funny unexpected turn in the RP towards the end. One of the reasons I never liked the idea of only RPing with "your group" is that you miss this opportunities for memorable moments out of the blue. I was RPing with Marq and it was just the two of us in the tavern RPing together for hours I think. Eventually Sarras wandered in and threw a funny little curveball into the RP. Sarras... if you were too lazy to read or even skip down this far, too bad as you are going to miss this statement: Sarras, this was awesome and hilarious.
At least I think so, maybe you had to be interrupted in the RP some unexpectedly to find it funny. Warning, there is kissing in this RP for those that might care. Hide the kids.... >.> <.< >.>
(01:14:46) Marqsaynt looks back over at the fireplace "Blasted great night for a fire."
(01:15:17) Zandral says: Every night is a good night for a fire.
(01:15:40) Zandral adds as an afterthought "Especially in Hydlaa."
(01:16:24) Marqsaynt says: Still... Some better than others.
(01:16:38) Zandral says: Oh, why is it better tonight then?
(01:16:40) Zandral smiles
(01:17:35) Marqsaynt looks down at Zandral in his arms and grins "I'll give you three guesses."
(01:18:17) Zandral grins and teases "Jomed?"
(01:19:38) Marqsaynt says: So you know? What can I say... sometimes hate just turns into love...
(01:19:56) Zandral laughs
(01:20:16) Marqsaynt smiles "Or maybe it's something else."
(01:20:23) Zandral says: Indigestion?
(01:21:11) Marqsaynt laughs
(01:21:21) Marqsaynt says: I wasn't talking about blasted Jomed.
(01:21:29) Zandral says: Oh...
(01:21:35) Zandral grins
(01:22:06) Zandral says: So what something else are you refering to then?
(01:22:48) Marqsaynt leans down and gives Zandral a long kiss.
(01:23:58) Zandral closes her eyes
(01:24:48) Zandral grins "I think I know now."
(01:25:30) Marqsaynt winks "Well, I still woudn't mind sending you a few more hints, just in case"
(01:26:08) Zandral says: I'm not objecting.
(01:26:15) Zandral grins
(01:26:45) Marqsaynt grins and kisses her again, pressing her close.
(01:27:09) Sarras waves her hands in the air. "Hey, I'm heeere."
(01:27:25) Marqsaynt looks at Zandral "Did you say something?"
(01:27:30) Zandral breaks away and looks back in irritation
(01:27:43) Zandral narrows her eyes at Sarras
(01:28:34) Sarras frowns at Zandral. "Don't need to see you guys making out while I'm trying to relax..."
(01:28:46) Zandral says: Close your eyes....
(01:28:58) Sarras says: It's the sound that bothers me.
(01:29:07) Zandral rolls her eyes
(01:29:25) Marqsaynt finally looks over at Sarras "Hey, there's a dermorian here."
(01:29:48) Marqsaynt looks back at Zandral with pseudo-surprise "How long has she been here?"
(01:30:02) Sarras says: A while.
(01:30:08) Zandral says stiffly "Long enough..."
(01:31:31) Marqsaynt says: Trying to pick up some tips or something?
(01:37:56) Zandral looks a bit disgusted
(01:38:09) Zandral quickly kisses Marqsaynt "I will see you later."
(01:38:11) >Zandral Caterean stands up.
(01:38:22) Zandral heads upstairs
(Hey... guess what. There is a limit to the amount you can post. Good thing this was the last RP I was going to put in this set...
)
