I feel bad for snapping off at one of the GMs that runs campaigns at the comic book store I frequent a few nights ago.
( I really am sorry... )
So next time please FOR THE LOVE OF GOD don't lump me like that. I have other interests. Srs. I promise. So I'm sorry. I'll tell you to your face if I catch you in the store.

I am an upcoming senior in high school. I am fairly certain that I will apply to Wellesley early decision. However, before I make my decision permanent, I have a few questions that I desperately need answered. Any responses will be greatly appreciated, especially since the ED deadline is coming up November 1 (less than 4 months away, eeek!!!)
1a. In regards to standardized tests, I read that the SAT and 2 SAT II tests OR the ACT is required. So, does that mean if you submit the ACT, you do not need to submit the 2 SAT II scores?
1b. However, if submition is required, and the early decision deadline is November 1 and I take the SAT subject tests in October, will it be ok? I checked the SAT site and it said scores will be reported online as early as October 29 and can be mailed to colleges by November 2.
1c. Also, is the ACT superscored? Meaning I send in my best scores (for example, I got 29 composite with W-33, M-31, R-25, S-26 and then another time got a 28 composite with W-30, M-29, R-30, S-24) in order to create an overall score of 30? Or am I required to send in all ACT scores that I have ever taken?
2. Also, I read that you need two academic teacher recommendations. If I had a teacher that taught CAI, banking and finance, accounting, and web design, would that be allowed? Although he isn't an AP/honors teacher, I've had him 3 years and have had to do community service with him.
3. Do you recommend ED? If the school is my number one choice, will I have a better chance at getting in by doing ED or RD? (I am fairly certain that this is a stupid question and the answer is obviously ED, but I just want to check)
4. While the interviews are optional, yet highly recommended, would you suggest I get one? If it is, I intend to visit Wellesley in late September for an interview, campus tour, and maybe special program where I sit in on a class and/or spend the night in a dorm.
5. I am a serious, fairly quiet student. Because my strong points tend to be math and computer, do you think I will have a difficult time in writing classes/discussions? How much discussion/out loud reading/talking about our personal experiences&thoughts are used during classes?
6. I am kind of picky when it comes to dorms. I am a very clean, organized person. How are dorms? Are they fairly quiet, clean, spacious, etc?
Sorry, I know I have loads of questions! THANKS!!!

Apparently, one of the more busier taverns on the server I play on, the Pig and Whistle in Old Town, has been declared law-free by some. Meaning it's perfectly okay to smack a woman on the back of the head with a shield for being upset at having had her coin purse stolen, simply because "I'm trying to think of a career change."
It's also appropriate to pull a gun on the concerned characters who go to assist and make sure she isn't injured further.
It's also okay to speak openly about crimes and crudeness and damn any consequences.
Please, please keep stuff like that out of the way and in places like the bottom of the Slaughtered Lamb or other less trafficed taverns. I mean, would Stormwind -really- let a place be law free in its capital, where murders and assault can happen willy-nilly?
Maybe I should stop looking for RP with... well, anyone that I don't know and fortify myself into Super Elitism Baracade mode. Maybe that'd stop the pain.

Chapter 2.
This was rather confusing for me on the first read-through, because, based on the previous chapter, I assumed that Dezaria Johnson was going to be the main character and, therefore, the focus of this chapter. It took me quite a while to get used to the fact that Trinity was here to stay.
Me Critic Editor Insanity Jester Paranoia several
Story Or Series Title: Tainted With Memories And Scars Rated: M for Mature (for gore and sex)
Fandom: LotR (approx. 98% movieverse, 1.9% bookverse, and trace amounts of preservatives.)
Culprit Author's Name: Bellethiel_Merilwen
Full Name (plus titles if any): Trinity Erin Night.
Full Species(es): Trinity (Decambulatorian enigma): Human?
Hair Color (include adjectives): Trinity: “Her back hair was straight and long, perfectly parted”. And when the author says back hair, she probably means raven locks, judging from Chapter 4.
Eye Color (include adjectives): Trinity: “emerald” green.
Unusual Markings/Colorations: The purpose of Trinity’s existence appears to be to prove that mediocre-looking, psychotic entities can be irresistibly sexy. Or something. All the conflicting statements about her have mixed with the descriptions of the others in my head and confused me somewhat.
Special Possessions (if any): Trinity: The on/off switches for Legolas’s nostalgia for his one twu wuv. Also has someone else as well. A necklace chain thingy that has a dove with thorns, given to her by a "lover". Lotsa knives *twitch*. Intermittent paranoia or a facsimile of same. An accent that’s “untraceable” whether in NYC or Middle-earth.
Annoying Origin: Trinity: The author’s mind.
Annoying Connections To Canon Characters:
Trinity: Obsessed over by Legolas, obsessed over by coarse!Boromir, and turns Strider’s head. Inexplicably claimed by Frodo as kin for the purpose of allowing her to enter Bree. Either has sexual relations with Haldir or stands by while he strangles in a freak accident (we’re not sure).
Annoying Special Abilities:
Trinity: Standard “jump in before the canon character” and “running mental commentary” stuff. Just WILL NOT DIE. DAGNABBIT.
Other Annoying Traits: Early on: The “sex = rite of passage to adulthood” cliché. Wallowing in the unjustified emotions of a moment. Later: Using certain Fellowship characters as foils for her main OC and often ignoring the rest. Struggling with the difference between a comma and a semi-colon; repeated neglect of the hyphen. Abusing the meaning out of “slowly”, “fine”, “evenly”, “slightly”, and other words and phrases. Most of that is tame stuff, isn’t it? I’ve killed men for less. Really? . . . No.
Non-Annoying Stuff: Good spelling; halfway-decent grammar and mechanics aside from the punctuation. Doesn’t ignore or belittle Gimli. She does use him as her go-to character for poking fun and other less-than-noble activities (which is rather akin to how the movies treated him, so she can’t be entirely blamed). Overall this fanfic author seems to be a fairly capable writer. However, I find parts of this just too irritating (or absurd) to let go unchallenged.
Please include a small sample of the worst of this story: (Do NOT post more than half of a chapter, whole chapters, or whole stories, regardless of how short they are)
( We see Trinity pre-Bree. Whee! )

Hey, could you put a little more effort into blatantly showing that the reason you ran off the two most active players in the game was because you didn't like their ship? Not that they were OOC, not that they were unrealistic, not that they were drama mongers, but because you, with no involvement except reading their threads, found the concept of A & B dating to be "stupid".
I mean, sure:
- the only player that has joined the game in months was invited specifically to play character C (gasp! shock! the suddenly-pining ex-boyfriend of A!)
-the previous characterizations and almost-year's worth of threads and development between A & B are rampantly being ignored
-the game hasn't had a thread in weeks that wasn't:
1. an "introspective" that has nothing to do with the plot (which is non-existent anyway, active mods, what active mods, sorry, we've got 'can't be arsed to play the title character of the series but refuses to give him up' mods.) (Also, plz post your ungrammatical and typo-ridden prose to your personal journal or join a fic comm, ffs, I've seen better writing in Hustler.)
2. abandoned after a handful of desultory tags (FYI, "Yes," she siad, sippin her drink does not a gripping scene make, though it was one of the longest tags in the thread.)
3. Character A, controlled by a 'new' player (it's you, we can tell by your unholy spelling), & character C with sad looks and 'can we start over?'
I mean, yeah, the maximum amount of effort being put into the game now and for the past month is breaking up A & B, but that doesn't mean anything, right?
Come on, put your back into it. It's not obvious, not yet.

We're seeing double!
Two Yuuris, two Conrads, two Yozaks! For some unexplainable reason (though we all think Anissina had something to do with it), doubles have been appearing in Shin Makoku. The doubles (OOC - out of character) come from parallel worlds, and are very different from their native counterparts (IC - in character). It has caused quite a bit of confusion, and no doubt more than a few headaches. With so many guests in the castle, space is getting tight. Fortunately, some of them don't mind sharing their beds.
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) omg_kkm is an active Kyou Kara Maou RP on the prowl for new players. We would love to have an IC Gunter, OOC Murata, or any of many other characters!

| So I like Palladium and you don't. |
[12 Jul 2009|04:07pm] |
So I like to play Palladium systems. So I like their settings and some of the rules work really well in my mind even if there are a few that confuse me. If you don't like it that's your choice (and heck there are people that like it, enjoy playing it, and still shitstorm over particular aspects of the system).
However, when you say that me liking the system equates to me *blanking* Kevin's *blankity blank* you just show yourself to be a shallow mindless troll that can only take what WotC aka Hasbro is spoon feeding as you mindlessly change with every edition and preach how each new edition is TEH BEST while apparently the previous edition is TEH WURST. The thing I can't understand was 2nd apparently sucked so much but 3 was the best... then suddenly 3 sucked so horridly and 3.5 was the best EVAH! Now you want me to believe that not only is 4.0 the bestest system ever but 3.5 was the absolute worst, even worse then 3.0 and 2nd.
Why you don't get why I don't believe you is astounding. If people want to play 4 that's fine with me, but don't tell me I am playing the wrong system just because you always instantly change your views with what's new. I'll go back to playing my Larmac Cyber-Knight now and save innocents between large meals of fried chicken.

First off, you. You god-modding little girl. I despise you! Yeah, sure, you were one of the first people on my very first HP board, and yeah, it was nice to have you around (and you DID make me a cbox which ended up being one of the best parts of that board), but for the love of all that is holy! No, you can't just fight everyone around you. No, you can't just bitch everyone out, even Snape (I played him, darling, I know he would have busted your sorry character's ass for half the stuff she said if he hadn't been so preoccupied with the current plot and keeping the Potter Children from getting nixed). No, she can't bust in on an interrogation that was specifically supposed to be for Snape and Greyback only, whack the men they're interrogating with baseball bats, and expect the two ex-deatheaters to give her a medal! I wish I hadn't been such a nice, greenhorn mod back then, or I would have banned you in a heartbeat. Luckily, we barely ever played, but jesus christ! GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS PLZTHNX. I hope you've grown up some and aren't doing this to other perfectly fine boards.
Secondly, you! You came onto my second HP board and immediately applied as Draco Malfoy. I wasn't a mod there, I couldn't stop you, but I knew something was fishy when all you did was flirt with people in the cbox and write really bad sex scenes with anyone who would indulge you IC. Luckily, a friend of mine and I called you out on your shit as a creeper. Unluckily, the entire board got shut down because of your sex-scene wankery being against the proboards TOS. Nice going, dipshit.
Lastly, you. Ohhh, you. This doesn't particularly concern me, but it is part of what made me leave the board. Yeah, these two characters are usually percieved as straight, but there is no evidence specifically stating that they could not act the way that my two friends had them acting, which included flirting and sex. Just because they're two males, you felt the need to post a big long letter in the OOC board talking about how 'we should get back on track' and how 'this is supposed to be a canon board'. No, you fucktard. It was supposed to have a *grounding* in canon. There is nothing wrong with some fucking character development. It worked. It made perfect, utter sense. The characters were played perfectly IC to the apps that YOU HELPED APPROVE. Then you started getting in the faces of one of these friends about their 'strict' app-modding, which you had, again, approved before. So said friend left. And since this friend was the only person on the damn board that was a decent player besides you, I left too. STOP BITCHING ABOUT PEOPLE BEING STRICT IF YOU WON'T EVEN ALLOW FOR AN INCH OF CHARACTER VARIATION. That is half the fun of roleplay, expanding upon and playing a unique part of a character! Stop acting like you've got a stick up your ass. You're the one writing the OC who fucking talks to starfish.

events, but we’re also working on including writers too. As such, we’d
love to have as many writers as possible enter the competition.
For all who’d like to see their favourite character bizarrely transformed,
some unusual romantic interests or that scene you’re sure is missing
from canon…
SMASH! is running a fanfiction competition for those interested in taking
a bit of creative license to canon (or possibly throwing it right out
the window).
Entries will be judged by a panel of reputable fanfiction authors, chosen
for their skills and knowledge of a broad range of fandoms.
To be in on the action, have a look at the fandom list (you’re sure to
know at least one of them), and pick one of our prompts to use as broadly
as you like to write your fanfic. The skies the limits for what you choose
to write (any scene, any pairing), but all fanfics must be rated G or PG.
The word length of fics is recommended to be between 1000 to 2000 words,
but this is a recommendation, not a hard limit.
Unfortunately prizes will only be awarded to entrants from Australia
or New Zealand, but others are welcome to enter and receive feedback
from our judges.

Character A once was a part of Evil Organization X. He didn't really believe in Evil, but they payed well and the job security was pretty good. Through a convoluted series of events, he ends up in Good Organization Y almost by accident. He like their ideals better, but they don't pay him well. Or at all. He misses getting paid. Several people find out he previously worked for X and reasonably ask how he ended up in Y. After the third time this happens, he goes on a rather long diatribe about how not everyone who works for X is actually evil, they're just so large that they get even the innocent working in their offices, because there's quite a few people out there willing to turn a blind eye so long as all they're doing personally is filing papers and collecting a paycheck. There are all types, and not everyone in X is actually Evil.
Character B responds with "Oh, I guess that makes sense. After all, we have spies in X and they give us lots of good information."
Way to completely negate A's point that while X may be evil, many of it's little paper-pushers are just normal people with a 9-to-5. But hey, the alternate interpretation of 'we're all good and they're all bad' works, too. -_-

Dear Party Member,
Your raging drunk character is getting old. It took over and hour for us to pull him out of a bar without starting a fight. I'm also getting damn sick of your drunk voice and your character doing stupid things because he's drunk and saying stupid stuff because he's drunk. Especially since my character, due to him having a high level of COMMON SENSE, is always having to bail you out of trouble, remind you not to do things that will get us in trouble or bribe you with the promise of booze just to get your character to shut up long enough for us to leave the scene of your latest mess without making things worse.
I can tell you're loving it. Guess who's not? Me! I didn't join this game to play nanny to your character. I'd like for my guy to be able to have some fun and not have to spend most of his time putting out fires that you start.
Dear DM,
Stop letting the drunk character run wild. You don't need to tell the guy to full on stop. Just get him to tone it down. This game is supposed to be fun for everyone and I sure as hell did not have fun tonight because of this guy. The next time I see you we're going to have a little chat about this.

- We're not trying to leave you out. Honest. We know that RL > RP and that's fine and dandy, but the group of us can't sit on our hands to wait for you for literal days when we've got plans that can go on without your character.
- You write in the most hideously stupid purple prose. I've seen optics, jewels, hues, orbs, and all manner of horribly ultraviolet synonyms for eyes, but faceted windows? Your character's description makes me feel like I'm shopping at Home Depot. With your mahogany tresses, lithe pillars, marble-white frock, I've got a remodeling project, not a vampire.
- I'd say you're worse than the first purple person, but you just make me laugh too much. Where she's a trip down the Home Decor aisle, you're a medical textbook. Your writing parses to me as a poorly spelled anatomy dissertation as given by the biology professor of Funkytown University. I know we're trying for a time period which neither of us remember, but when you tell me that the elongated, near-skeletal man with the long follicles was listening to a song written and aired in 1980, when we're playing the 60s, I'm going to twitch and imagine a taffy-pulled Cryptkeeper is chilling out with his walkman.
- While this is old, I want to get you off my chest before I post this. When you're playing in a fantasy based Inn and Tavern-centric game, you've got a great selection of fantasy themed races and occupations from which to choose. So, you, why did you choose to play a famous wrestler from Smackdown? Seriously, even your biography's picture was a photo of the guy. What the hell? And you weren't even a troll! You demanded to be taken seriously! A couple months later, you gave the guy a juggalo twist to his character and turned him into a psychotic clown wrestler with the ability to control smoke! Not fire, just smoke. Wow, guy. Just wow.

I am so fed up with players who take character disadvantages designed to screw their PC over, and then whine, pout and throw temper tantrums worthy of a toddler when I use those disadvantages to - you guessed it - screw their character over. It's as if they expect the disad to never, ever come back to haunt them.
When I tell them, "You took the disad," I get even more whining and temper tantrums.
Do these players even read the disad description? Or do they just get as far as the "x bonus points" part, and stop there?

Dear you,
Your character is cute, I'll give you that much. But every. single. scene. you do with them is the same thing over and over and OVER. It doesn't help that you only, really, play with one person. I understand that you two have a good connection, and that's great, but the only saving grace is that the one person you play with happens to be on the mod team. If it were any other game, if that person weren't a mod, your ass would have been been talked to about activity. Ages ago.
Not only is every single scene a carbon copy of the last, but your ideas on child-rearing are ridiculous. Do you have two parents? Have you ever been part of a single-parent family? Have you ever, in your life, taken a child psychology class? Or even just a regular psychology class? Even a basic, bare bones knowledge of how families work would show you that these opinions that your character keeps spouting make NO sense at all. The fact that you, and your character, are so committed to the idea that you are right and everyone else is wrong here is, frankly, pissing me off.
Branch out, mofo. I've already had to have the mod team talk to you about doing scenes with other people. I don't want to have to bitch to them about this shit too. Get a clue already.
No love,
Me.

[11 Jul 2009|12:03am] |
Disclaimer: I have no problem with slash or buttsex when they are done well. In fact, I enjoy it very much, and really, this goes for any pairing, be it het, slash, or femslash; however, because I've seen it done more often with slash, I'm using it as an example.
I do have a problem when someone joins a multifandom RP and only interacts with the characters within their fandom until the other half of the player's OTP arrives and then proceeds to jump straight into a badly developed pairing while ignoring the rest of the RP and being somewhat OOC in the process...
BRPS, why do people do this? Why don't they just ask for an RP partner on their fandom's comm? It really boggles the mind, especially since the fandoms of those involved are usually very slash-friendly.

This was brought up by calen_greenleaf recently a while ago a long while ago at some point during the Late Cretaceous Period. Anyway, since the first claimant seems to have moved on, I'm taking it on. There are a lot of OCs (most of whom disappear for most of the story) and a lot of things going on in this looong story, so the intro sections will generally include only those relevant to the current chapter. Blame for the horrible pseudo-Latin lies with me.

Why would you refer to yourself as that? Yes. You’re an unwelcome person. You ever stop to sit down and think about why instead of throwing your usual dramatics and flouncing away?
GTFO. No, seriously. At this point I just want you to GTFO. That takes a lot of talent, my unwelcome guest. Normally I’m all for helping people reform instead of just tossing out the B&.
I thought we had worked things out with you. We had this big ol’ group conversation and hammered some of the kinks regarding you and the RP and…It ended well. Crisis averted; situation normal. And yet you’re still being as big a drama whore as ever and Mod seems to have no intentions of banning you for it. I’ve had discussions about this with her and…She intends to do nothing about it. I’m sick of feeling like it’s my job to call you out on your shenanigans because our current mod can’t man up and just kick you out. ETA: Turns out this was the straw that broke the Mod camel's back, among other OOC drama. I smell a ban coming.

Look.
If you're going to tell me you're sick and lost your internet and that's why you disappeared for a month in the middle of our thread (delaying a bigger plot that's pretty important to my character, not to mention the relationshipping you asked for)...
...at least make sure I can't see you still posting on your other sites, yeah?

( Let's talk about conversation in battle, shall we? )
I don't know, maybe it's just me, but tl;dr version, I am tired of people in combat RP assuming everything will stop in the fight so they can make wordy speeches. And it seems to happen really often. And when you don't play along, for some reason they get angry. :-/ Times like this I wish the GMs weren't MIA

So. Found this group/kingdom thing, gods help me. Was checking out their rules and I'm sorry but, Dear Moderators of thie Group, no one is going to let this rule of yours fly.
It's their characters they apply to your group. Say it with me: "Their chars. Not yours to do with as you please."
Said rule, directly quoted: If at any time you decide to leave the storyline, you will not be given the ability to write an exit for your character unless you do so in a room with witnesses. If not then your character can and likely will be used to further the storyline as we see fit.
/end sarcastic, screaming laughter.

| Novel 14 chapter 5 |
[10 Jul 2009|02:42pm] |
Got some comments recently with people asking to translate more, so here it is ^_____^
I skipped chapter 4 though because it fried my brain halfway through. It's about Shouri's adventures in Switzerland :D I promise I will finish it before chapter 6, but I need some help. Does anyone know what DTJ is and what does it have to do with Top Gun (the movie I suppose, KKM is really killing me with all its references to pop culture >_<)???
Anyway, if you read chapter 5 first you're not gonna spoil yourself, coz there are almost no direct references to the previous untranslated chapter in there. So don't be afraid.
One technical thing, there are words at the very end of this chapter spoken by a woman, using pronouns and particles women usually use. Since there is no way to indicate that in English, I am gonna use italics for her entire speech.
( said I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down... stand here beside me baby at the crumbling walls )

A couple of weeks ago I joined a different type of HP rp. I was excited, but I wasn't overeager enough to skip the rules. I read the rules, copied the app and submitted it after typing in the "secret password" that was "hidden" in said rules. I wait for about half the day, joined a couple of other rp boards, while I wait for my app to be reviewed. I go back to the site and find that my app has been rejected, with a note attached that said to read the rules.
I'm thinking I must have left something out of my app and that's why it was rejected. I read over the rules carefully and then resubmit the app. I don't have to wait for long since the mod was still logged onto the site. Again it was rejected with the same little message. I'm getting frustrated and confused, so I pm the mod and ask what was wrong with my app. I wasn't being aggressive or mean, just a simple question.
Well, that was obviously the wrong thing to do since the Mod got all over my case about me not reading the rules and that a four year old was smart enough to figure out what was missing. I'm surprisingly calm and explain to her that I have read the rules three times now and I still don't see what I've been missing. I get ignored. So I wait until an Admin logs on so I can talk to them. This person happens to be very nice. I explain the situation and I'm told to resubmit the app. This time my character is accepted without hesitation. For a few days everything is going fine, my character has made a strange couple of friends.
I try to log in and I can't. It turns out that the Mod that kept denying my app banned me for a fake offense. Even though I can't log in, I still have access to the c-box. The Mod and the Admin that approved me was on and I let it be known that I couldn't log in. The Admin had no idea that the Mod had banned me and when asked why the Mod just started making up shit. After about a few minutes of pure bull shit, I say fuck you and leave.
Now I feel kind of bad about leaving since I did make a friend of sorts with a fellow member and feel bad about not getting contact information from them so we could talk more. But was the mod in the right for denying the app?

You. Yeah, you. You strange guy who messaged me on MSN out of the blue one day a few years back (I am *still* not sure where you got my address), and then convinced me to RP with you. Let's set some things straight, here.
Just because a vampire was turned a young age but is 'mentally mature' (i.e. thirty year old in the body of a six year old) does not make your insistence on a yaoi RP with him any less creepy. Okay, yeah, I have no qualm with yaoi -- what *does* bother me is UNDERAGED SEX AND PEDOPHILIA. Mental age does not play into that. If the character has the body of a six year old, they're not physically ready for sex in any sense of the word. In short: EW.
Luckily we never talk. I have no idea what happened to you. I'm kind of glad I don't.
*****
P.S. - You. Other you. Yeeeeah you, back there. It's so not fucking cool to let me help moderate your proboards RP by reviewing apps, and then get all up in my face and face of my co-reviewer for DOING TOO GOOD OF A JOB. Screw 'having fun', if I see a character whose sole purpose in life is to be a villain so that she can kill all men because of her OMG ABUSIVE BOYFRIEND, I am GOING TO FUCKING REJECT THEM. I'm very, very glad I left your RP along with my fellow mod, and I hope you're happy managing all the idiots who flooded in after we left. Good luck with that, you moody bitches.

Dearest admin who shall from here forewards be known as B

TL;DR:: admin, who I have no idea WHY she's an admin, has a godmodding, too-powerful character, claims to be dying and uses it as an excuse for excessive bitchiness

Why, hello there wonderful, darling roleplay partner! I come today with a message for you, muffled, but hopefully heard, from under my sockhat.
( Long letter of discontent ahoy! )
TL;DR: Please stop trying to act like my mother, then beg me to RP with you, only to proclaim that you are TOO HIGH LOLOLOL to continue. It's not funny. It's just fucking weird.

I have a small update for you. You may remember my last post, or you may not, so I'll summarise - I LARP with an attention seeker. If you do remember, well, let's just say that she's added a pink corset to the high white wedges her totally authentic geisha character is going to wear.
Sexy-geisha-wannabe-player has had, the last two outdoors (outdoors are, basically, a one day quest event where half of us are players and the other half are monsters/NPCs, whereas indoors are talky drinky affairs where everyone but the GMs play) a crazy NPC. She is crazy of the "HEDGEHOGS RANDOM CRAP *teeny plot hint that she is interesting no-one in, because of all the shit either side* EARTHWORM TEAPARTIES" variety. This last outdoor, the GMs asked for suggestions for random events to happen in a cave. I have a crazy (of the "I have no human contact, so I shall raise these zombies and talk to them instead and see absolutely nothing wrong with this") necromancer I never use, so I put her forward as a one-off event.
Geisha-faker is not happy and insists I can't play her, because I obviously can't play a crazy the same event as her, ohnoez. The GMs, on the other hand, quite like the idea, because for a while they've been trying to think of a way to prove that not all necromancers are totally irredeemably evil. They not only let me play her once, but also as my alternate player character.
And I'm finding that a small part of the fun of playing this character is that, without really trying, I have a character that pretty much everyone has to have an opinion on. I have all the attention sexy-geisha could ever want, even though I will be fully dressed, and in some ways, I feel distinctly, well, gloaty about it. And then I feel guilty for being gloaty. And then I remember pink corset, and feel less guilty.
I may suck as an RPer and as a person. I'm not entirely sure.
