He's handsome!!

Seconded.

[King Coin]

Uhh mALX, Abiene already bought the piece Kayla was looking at!

[Black Hand]

@KC.

She realized after the fact and given that shes in need of a few days off and remained aroind in the RP in spite of that need, perhaps we could overlook it in the spirit of friendship and understanding?

Kayla wants that armor, lol

Yeah, Liz PM'd me after she saw my post and told me. I didn't know, with everything going on in the Poison RP I didn't have time to keep reading the Playground when it got busy. Sorry about that.

Maxical only saw her like one thing, I made a note of it at the time to get it for her; but then got too busy on the Poison thread.

I honestly didn't see that. It could be kind of funny though, she gets two of them. That actually happens in real life all the time, I've asked for a mouse for my PC for Xmas/birthdays before and got two, etc. Happens a lot and will be kind of funny.


I do apologize though, it wasn't intentional.

mALX, you may be the most passionate person I've ever met. When you like something, you don't go "Oh, that's kinda cool", you go "Yeah! That's freakin' awesome!" You actually remind me of Kirby in that regard.

Hopefully this doesn't sound harsh, as it's not meant to be.

We need to cover some RP vs fanfic writing basics as a group, but today might not be the day. Yesterday afternoon I got back from watching my uncle’s apartment building burn to the ground (we were driving by and saw the flames, not a fun surprise) to find KC’s and my plans screwed up. I just moved on as best as I could in the situation. Frankly I had no interest in trying to fix a mess that I didn’t make, and it’s still not a top priority.

Folks, please at least read what’s going on in the RP before you post. If you don’t have time, then just put a quick note saying “move on” in the discussion thread. If you screw up, please fix it yourself. We all have drama. No one should have to apologize for being busy, but wasting other people’s time is not OK.

I hope I'll be back on tonight, maybe sooner. If not and in the meantime just carry on as if Abiene was getting tipsy at a party. (Which she is.)

[King Coin]

I just want to add:

This may not seem like a big deal to the rest of you, but it was basically a slap in the face to both Grits and I to see that. The error was spotted when it would have been easily corrected, and the decision was made not to.

EDIT: I'm going to be out for a big chunk of the day as well so responses from Aravi are going to be slow.

@ Grits - Grits, I am so very sorry about your uncle's apartment building, and for my mistake. It was an honest mistake. That it caused upset feelings or stress on anyone makes me feel awful that the error was mine.

I am an inexperienced RP'er, as most of us on here are. We have all of us been guilty of not thoroughly reading the previous posts at times, and with a lot fewer characters and posts to keep up with.

Example: There were only three posters/characters to keep up with on the Poison thread, but several times workarounds had to be done or reminders of information posted on the discussion thread. It happens, people make mistakes; especially when they have stress, health issues, or busy lives.

I can't do anything more than ask your forgiveness, which I have done. I have deeply apologized on here and in PM's to you both. Grits, of all people on here you should understand that; you have been the recipient of all of our understanding when your RL and spreading yourself too thin has affected your own focus. We all love you, and sometimes that means compensating for another when they can't. I would never have caused you additional stress for anything in the world.


@ KC - It was already too late to fix by the time Liz PM'd me and told me about it; other posts were up notating her receiving the gift. There was really nothing I could do at that point.

I am so sorry my slip has affected your plans in the RP, but there really wasn't a mess to clean up and no one's time needed to be wasted. It could have been brushed off as a funny coincidence.

That was the only thing Kayla eyed with longing that Maxical would have seen to know what to get her, and Maxical would have had no way of knowing the others had bought it. In the real world these things happen.


RP's are supposed to be fun, it is the whole point of them. I think the level of anger over this is out of proportion to the mistake I made, you both know I would never do anything deliberately to hurt/anger/aggravate either one of you.

It would be a shame to let hard feelings spoil what has been a fun RP. I don’t have any hard feelings. I hope this situation doesn’t create them for others.

I’m afraid I’m still occupied with RL. Back later.

Thank you, Grits. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this crucial time, I hope all turns out as well as possible given the circumstance.

Never mind...I MMOB.

Had I known it would turn out to be such a big deal, I wouldn't have mentioned Kayla's birthday. She'll be getting a sudden stomachache and spending the rest of the festival in her room. I think I need a break from this place. It's ridiculous now.

[Black Hand]

Nothing said from anger can ever be constructive. It is a poison and a fire. It destroys everything it touches. I say what is to follow as separated from mine as I can make myself. If it offends...well, that is not my intention. I wish I had the words to set things aright. Sadly, I do not.

There was a mistake made. Of that, there is no contest.

But another mistake was made. We'll call it Murphy's Law.

The original and accurate version goes like this: "If there are two or more choices that can be made the Human will inevitably choose the one that is wrong."

Choice One: Realize there was a mistake, offer solution. Solution is implemented, and the situation is resolved. Everyone is happy, and life and community goes forward in an Harmonious state.

Choice Two: Become angry. Choose to be upset over trying to resolve the problem.

An honest mistake is just that.

I understand that one may lose their temper over them, we all do this. No one is immune.

But consider the nature of what it is you devote so much energy to, before you act upon it. How bad can a mistake be, when compared to the intentional acts that are meant to be hurtful?

How much is there to gain by holding on to this? And how much more would we lose if we didn't let go?

In this, I see that forbearance and forgiveness, are not things to be earned, rather they are necessities. Without these traits, how would we have survived? Both as individuals, and as various communities.

When you find yourselves in this position in life; and you will, for the only guarantee in life is hardship, remember this. When you find yourself pleading for the forgiveness of others, because there is literally nothing else you can do, remember this moment and the fact you offered none.

The totality of a person is not worth condemning over one action.

I'll be the judge here as I am of intermediate age and experience, seeing both the perspectives as an in-betweener of the Generations present and represented in this matter.

Halle Berry. HAWT!

Anne Hathaway HAWT!

I'm afraid however, I will need more time to investigate this matter in private with both women in their respective Cat-Woman costumes in my Judges Chambers.

Immediately.

Yay! Both of them are awesome, especially in cat-suits!

I'll be rejoining the main thread shortly here.

Given that my Char is returning from something deeply personal, I *was* going to have him dressed in black, and have clothing to that effect. The closest thing I could find in MW, and while the vest wasn't supposed to be red, I'll just have it as reversible.








BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

YUMMY! Those are my favourite Seth-pics!

If I'm not mistaken, the Poison thread is finished. Abiene and Seth are both at the Playground already, Eyja and Maxical will be waking up there after that last post.

OMG!!!! And I was thinking og joining because of that thread!!!

Thank you, Acadian! That's a great idea. Please lock our completed "Mystery of the Poisoned Healer" thread.

I'll also put a note in the Player's Guide to help folks navigate, and I'll check with KC about adding a header to his first post in the Playground thread.

Hmmm well a Player's guide would be helpful..I must say I'm a little bit confused, this RP is much bigger than the RPs I'm used to..I RP:ed a LOT some long time ago....

It should also be noted that Thals is an NPC, so do with him as you like, I'm just 'introducing' him as it were.

I'll be gone for a little while, so Thals is all you guys. Sethyas and I will be.....in the shadows.

Actually, so long as it's within reason, feel free to commandeer him.

Uhhh? Hope Seth will be back when Serene arrives though....since he's the only one she "knows"

I hope my mess up didn't ruin your Birthday for you, I feel like I f'd everyone up.

Please have an Awesome Birthday in spite of all this, I am sorry. My biggest hug to both you and Kayla, you are both more awesome than words can say <333

minque, you'll find the Player's Guide in the first two posts at the beginning of this thread. If you have any questions I'd be happy to try to explain. This isn't a regular plot-oriented RP, it's more of a meeting place.
