I mean it sounds like you're uncomfortable with it, so not affiliating Animangads with sites like this seems like a reasonable call--but having them listed, to me, seems fine. I don't know that it feels immoral or anything to me personally so much as a bit tacky.

It was easy, dangerously so, to picture a hundred evenings just like that one, a thousand. To imagine their conversations getting easier, no unknown territories or uncertain places. A lifetime of small pleasures, piling up bit by bit.

Shadow had seemed happy, at least. And Des? He was much harder for her to read. He was happy, she hoped. Or more so, at least? Here he wouldn't have to check the hallways before he left the single room she had to herself, or be silent all day long. Here he would be, as much as was possible, safe. Even if he paid for that safety in this ridiculous farce they'd committed themselves to. Husband and wife. The idea was laughable. If only she could laugh at it.

That was another kind of smile again, compared to what she'd seen before. She didn't think she liked it. Rather, she didn't think she was supposed to like it—he looked so cocksure, looking up at her now as he worked the pouch open. It was ridiculous—he had just been complaining about being menaced by a ten pound lizard. So where did that grin come from? Or the nerve to mock her? God, he'd probably thought she was… was flirting with him, with a stupid line like that.

As if! The very idea was offensive; Cerise was highly offended. How dare he think so, this Isidore. What made him think he was interesting enough for her to want to act like some kind of shameless nitwit? He wasn't. Just because he had somewhat pretty eyelashes and a generally appealing face? Did he think that's why she'd asked him all those questions? That was just—curiosity. About witchcraft, not the witch.

Ever been publicly shamed about your posting speed and then it just ruins your mood? I was so ready to catch up on posts but then. Yeah. That happened.

But that was yesterday and today is a new day. A surprisingly good day! I'll be productive AFTER FFXIV though hehe~


I mean--it would, wouldn't it? Because that's garbage jerk behavior. :'D I get bent outta shape enough having someone hassle me about that in private, let alone in public...

This was a test, she decided. If he didn't tell her, she wouldn't ask again. And she wouldn't ask him about his witchcraft, either, or anything else. She'd forget the way her own name sounded in his mouth, like a foreign word or a spell. She'd forget the rest of it too—how much she'd liked the steady touch of his hand, his funny little toad, the whole thing. She'd find her own way out of here, leave him to rot with his debts and his talk of Yonn Merla, and she'd never think of it again.

And if he told her?

"You'd better not have hurt Sish," she continued darkly, scrunching up her face in a vain effort to get her vision to clear, "or you'll—you'll be sorry you were ever born." Big words from someone tied up who was only barely returning to consciousness, even she knew that, but she tried to put all the force behind them she could muster up.

Just a recently-kidnapped senator's daughter threatening strangers over the theoretical safety of her pet flying lizard.

I just wanted to say I didn't know this had a name, either. I'd never encountered it until recently, because all the sites I have been on before had much shorter post expectations. It took some adjusting to, but I don't mind it now? I just try to only respond to conversation/actions that I think it's interesting or good to respond to. Sometimes I just internalize the response because I think my character would absolutely Feel a Way about that and I want to express it, but it's not like... useful to the action. (I do always try to limit the number of actual like "cues" for action I put in one post though.)

Anyway that's a long way of saying: TIL!

Hello all! I just realized I never posted an introduction, and I do generally like to... Whoops! Let's fix that, shall we?

You can call me Cap O' Rushes/Capo! I've been doing pbp RP for, gosh, ages and ages now. I started out in the ancient days doing Sailor Moon fan character RP, haha! That pretty quickly spun out into an original setting for me and my friends I was playing with, and I've stuck to original settings ever since. There was a solid period of a few years after my main site at the time closed where I couldn't ever quite find a new "home" and I sort of drifted away from the hobby... Which changed a couple of years ago! Now I'm back, baybee, and myself and a good friend decided earlier this year to start our own site with an original Victorian-inspired fantasy setting. Which is how I came to find myself here!

Outside of RP stuff, I'm a comic artist/illustrator, BJD and miniatures enthusiast, and quite possibly am actually 3 cats stacked on top of each other in a trenchcoat. How they learned to type without having any thumbs, nobody knows.

"T-Take my, um. Measurements, that is. Er. When I—I didn't know what mine were either. My uniform wasn't so… fitted. Ah." Why was she saying this? It hardly mattered. She could feel herself getting redder and redder as she went on. "She helped me alter them, too! The hems, that is, what with my height… I don't suppose you'll have to worry about taking things up, will you? Given… ah! There you are, Bree!"
