OOC for Merskelly & kunyo
 
an ooc for me & Merskelly to discuss our RP :f-happy:

Merskelly Metalien 12-04-2019 03:30 PM

Hooray! :D
Not sure if I'll be around as often as I'd like, since these next two weeks will be a bit busy for me, but I'll be working on some of my OC appearances in the meantime. :}

I haven't made complete profiles for any of them yet. <~<; But since there are quite a few, I won't be drawing them all.
:} I'll doodle mainly the ones I think might need a clearer imaginative appearance.
Like Otavia, an autumn fairy or Xing the legendary angel-dragon. ^-^;

daikokunyo 12-05-2019 07:38 AM

that's all right, take your time! i don't mind about a regular schedule for RP or anything like that, i just need to know whether you're around, or will be around! same for me, i'll tell you if real life ever forces me to shift focus for a few days or even (fate forbid) to hiatus. probably won't happen, but this is just for the record.

yep, the profiles don't need to be exhaustive and you can doodle the ones you're feeling your muse kick in for. or not! whatever your OC characterisation process is, you do you :f-happy:

Merskelly Metalien 12-06-2019 04:49 PM

:] Perfect! I guess we'll be relying more on imagination anyways, <x} but I still like descriptions, hehe. I'll be around for sure, :] unless something bad happens, like to the internet or to my laptop. o_o; But if it does I'll try and give a heads-up! ^-^ Life happens too, <:] so we can both forgive some absence if they're unavoidable and needed after all.

:D I just got done with two of my major projects for my finals week, and I'll be taking the weekend to spend some time with my fish dad and bro. ^-^ But I'll have some time hopefully to come back on here while I'm gone. :D

daikokunyo 12-07-2019 09:06 AM

exactly. any absence is okay as long as we let each other know beforehand if possible :f-smile:

oh my, finals week! good luck for that! congrats on finishing one project and good luck with the other!
and it's nice that you have the weekend to look forward to :f-happy:

Merskelly Metalien 12-08-2019 01:21 PM

Thank you! ^-^
I had a nice time. :] Might spend more time up here with my pops the following week. For winter and spring vacation. :/ Might be busy off and on but, I'll likely be having more time to go online for the RP. :3

Also I forget, <x} sometimes health can be a thing that needs tending to, especially if we got some health issues. >u>;

Merskelly Metalien 12-08-2019 01:33 PM

For an example tho, here's my OC Otavia. :]

https://i.imgur.com/n7dSsyB.png

Species: Autumn Fairy

Age: Fairies are youthful in appearance despite being able to seem hundreds of years old

Background: Otavia was born from a pile of fallen leaves in an isolated fairy circle long ago. She had made some clothes and a home of her own in the deep forest, keeping autumn alive for as long as she could around her, before she recognized the balance of nature. She then shut herself in for winter like many of the other creatures of the forest who hibernate. But she also took the time to venture out and recover the things around the forest, such as twigs, icicles, fur and cobwebs. During her hibernation period, she thought long and hard about her surroundings and learnt all that she could over the years. Eventually, as time passed, she gained more knowledge, and developed her powers. She would interact with the other fairies of the forest, but many saw her as a strange hermit and had no intention of making her a part of their community. Dejected and disappointed in her treatment by the other fairies, Otavia became more isolated and devoted her time into the studies of magic. She became obsessed with the laws of alchemy and sorcery and during this newfound interest, she conducted experiments on herself. Since she didn’t have any willing test subjects, she would use herself to test her hypothesis. Unfortunately during one of her experiments, she had fused her legs with those of a spider. Now her legs are brown, hairy and striped, with a small heel and forked toe. She tried to hide her legs with lovely long dresses and skirts, but she couldn’t hide her dark secret for long. Since the experiment, she hasn’t been able to get back her normal legs, leaving her looking freakish and resulting in the fairies scorning and fearing her. One day during a rainstorm in spring, Otavia was chased away by a mob of fairies and exiled from her home. She fled to a forest on the other side of the mountains and stood there for many years, conducting her experiments and filling her time with leisurely and peaceful activities. She would make clothes, fly around the forest and greet the many animals that live there, and scavenge for small human made objects.

(Her connection with Crimson, a fire dragon)


Likes: The fall season. Leaves. Crystals. Rain. Food. Ghost stories. Breakfast. Exploring caves. River floating. Stealing small things from human homes. Interacting with new animals. Making rock art. Drinking herbal teas.

Dislikes: Nuts falling. Fire. Feeling ill or too warm. Spider webs. Raw meat. Long stories or gossip. Blooming spring or summer plants that another fairy neglected to close up or leaves still green and healthy. Goblins.

daikokunyo 12-09-2019 11:30 AM

awww :f-please: //showers Otavia with virtual love

she struck me as enjoying and maybe preferring solitude most of the time, content with herself. but everyone has lonely moments so i was happy she met the cute little dragon youngling Crimson. maybe it's the Derpy effect, but i think of dragon younglings as sweet, affectionate in nature, so i'm happy she found him and took him in :f-heart:

i just want to wrap them in fluffy blankets and protect them :f-please:
those mean, bullying fairies better leave Octavia and Crimson well alone, else they'll catch these hands! ヽ(`⌒´メ)ノ

Merskelly Metalien 12-09-2019 01:08 PM

<:] yehh. Because she isn't very decorative of herself like most seasonal fairies, she got bullied a lot and suspected of not doing her duty as a seasonal fairy, which is helping to guide seasons into nature.

:] Spring fairies are the most popular, and make it rain, make things bloom, and make everything twitter-pated. xD
Summer fairies turn the sunlight up, and brighten up all the land and plants, they do the least work as seasonal fairies, and hang around some spring fairies.
Autumn fairies, like Otavia, cool down the heat, sprinkle in fog or showers, and make the greenery die into browns, reds, oranges and yellows, only letting a select few flowers and weeds bloom. They're also responsible for winds and preparing the many trees in an area for wintertime. :]
Winter fairies make it cold, sometimes sprinkling in snow and frosting things over like leftover plants, and water. They take care of the winter plants and trees, and actually frolic around more than summer fairies do, but they're hard to see in their frosty environment. :]

(I got inspired for this fairy lore watching Fantasia as a little girl. ^-^ It's still a favorite of mine.)

xD I thought about Derpy too! haha, though I didn't know about Derpy until I came on here haha. :D Baby dragons are super sweet lookin' and presh! <x} I thought a fairy raising a fearsome fire dragon would be interesting because of the huge size difference and the connection of opposites the two have. <:] Fire is inevitable in raising a fire dragon, which is a challenge for Otavia because she doesn't like fire, as dry leaves and foliage can burn so easily, plus she has only a little resistance to heat.

^-^ But Crimson is a good dragon. He's got a good foster mama. <:3 <3

I've got another few characters here, but I'll post them later on. :} Gotta go to class soon for finals!

daikokunyo 12-10-2019 11:58 AM

i didn't watch disney fantasia, but i can still relate a little because i got inspired about magical girls after watching winx club as a child lol. used to play many pretend magical girl games with irl friends as a child.

also, all of that lore is fascinating. i love how you've practically created a whole world with its own internal logics to play in.

i didn't realise how cute dragon younglings could be until i came here and met Derpy! :s-laugh: Norbert from Harry Potter didn't convince me at all lol.

it really is interesting, their bond. i love how they connected despite their differences and i imagine they adapted to each other and protected each other :f-please:

i'm excited to see them! go kill those finals :f-cheer:

Merskelly Metalien 12-12-2019 02:43 PM

I did the SAME thing but with Power Puff Girls when it was on Cartoon Network. <x)

Yep! I try to craft little worlds for my characters to live in. Sometimes the worlds are even connected. >w>

Aww, Norbert was cute tho! <xD He just had the wrong sound effect, lol!

Thanks thanks! I've got the last final to finish today. Yesss! X)

Unfortunately though, all this week, my laptop keyboard has been on the fritz. <:( So I haven't been able to type as much or be online.
The flippin' top letter row is not workin' right. >:\ It either doesn't type the letter unless I keep tapping it a repeatedly, or I tap it once, and it gives me too much of the letter. <x{ (ex: Rrrrruuuumoooorrr)
And it's just the QWERTYUIOP keys. I got T and Y to work somehow with compressed air, but I might need to take it in for fixing before I can even get back to typing again. <:\ I'm currently using the touchscreen keyboard, which is much slower and sometimes pops in and out if I remotely poke out of it. <x{

Guh. Why keyboard, why???! X'[
But, I might steal my brother or mum's laptop in the meantime. <x] Temporarily. Because they're super duper slow. B[ My fam likes to downloads a bunch of stuff to make their computers run at 0.003 mph.

daikokunyo 12-13-2019 04:09 AM

i used to love powerpuff girls when i was tiny, that and tom and jerry! xD

awww i don't remember how Norbert looked in the movies but in the book he wasn't described as cute at all, poor babie xD

YAS finals will be over soon for you!

and OMG that is so annoying. i don't like touchscreen keyboards, they're much harder to type on. like, if this happened to me i wouldn't be able to stand it.

yeah i have family who treat their computers as nothing but storage disks, i feel so bad for the computers >.>

Merskelly Metalien 12-15-2019 02:06 AM

Of course when I go to take it in to get fixed, my laptop THEN decides to behave itself.. <_<;
*eyes keyboard suspiciously* hmmmm, betternotf*ckupagain..grhrhrhrph..
I suppose that means I can now hopefully type normally and get back to the character profiles! :D Yay!

I'll post the one I have finished for now. Though she doesn't have a picture (yet). <:/

Name: Kelsi

Species: Forest Elf

Appearance: Chestnut wood skin, long thin ears, light brown hair that fades into a light moonlight blue, light blue starry eyes, and blue markings on her cheeks and bridge of her nose. She wears a regal looking, ceremonial dress with a hood and pale gold armlets. She also wears a jewel at her neck reflecting crystalline but murky water.

Background: Kelsi is an oracle for her people the elves of the crescent forest. She was born with a mark on her wrist, and spirit-protected blue eyes that signified purity and sure enough she developed a special gift. Kelsi could see and communicate with the spirits of the universe and through their wisdom and power, she can foretell the future, speak of certain prophesies and find spirits of ancestors or people of special significance, long dead. Kelsi however doesn’t care too much for her role, seemingly determined for her at birth. She was raised for her future role as an oracle without much interaction with other elven children. As an oracle, Kelsi was to remain pure, obedient, unbiased, and abstaining. She was only mainly educated in literacy and in history. As a child, she could not play for very long, as she had to study ancient runes, learn forgotten tongues, train her mind to withstand the possession of spirits, and establish a bond with an animal guide to help her reach out to other spirits. She was also expected to lead songs and chants in celebrations for spirits and to learn etiquette in meeting with prophets and other oracles. Most oracles are either chosen at birth, or are repurposed mediums, and some are quite old. Though elves are immortal and youthful in appearance, age can often be determined by the lightness and length of their hair, and depending on the type of elf, their spirit signature.

Kelsi though very good at her role as oracle, finds herself rather stuck in a place she didn’t choose for herself, when one day she is chosen to meet with the lord of the silver elves, from deep within the white forest. The lord asks her to look into his future, but when she does, much to her shock and disbelief, she sees herself beside the silver lord, as his wife. She finds out the silver lord has foreseen this future before her arrival and admits he was curious to see who she was. Kelsi, though flattered, was put on the spot when he asked her for her hand. She did not know if it was destiny or if her future as well as his, could be changed, as Oracles are always taught that the future is written in stones in a never-ending spiral. Though she didn’t love him, she also knew it was unbecoming to deny a lord’s proposal. And yet, it wasn’t right for her to marry so young and so early in her Oracle position. She told the lord she would think on his offer, and the lord, confident in the future, patiently allowed her the time to succumb to the inevitable. But is it truly her future? She doesn’t dare let herself rest, until she finds out for certain, and keeps hope that her soul’s feeling that she can change her future, is true.

Likes: Nature, singing to spirits, taking care of her animal guide (a doe spirit she calls Selarun), moonlit nights, warm teas, legendary myths, reading about great tragedies and great triumphant romances, places with rivers or streams or waterfalls, looking at art, helping lost spirits, shimmering things, decorating graves and trees, and the scent of a fresh rainfall.

Dislikes: Tales of death, quiet in darkness, frightful spirits, being ill which is rare for elves, talk of conflict or war, the sound of ravens, watching something (animal or plant) die, blood, fog, and thievery.

daikokunyo 12-18-2019 11:59 AM

okay wow lovely! i'm particularly amazed at the future prophecies being neverending spirals. i'm also interested in knowing more about spirit signatures. and! that doe spirit sounds adorable! you have such rich, developed lores and i'm amazed every time :f-heart:

Merskelly Metalien 12-19-2019 01:34 AM

Thank you kunyo! ^-^ Kelsi is actually one of my lesser developed fantasy OCs so I'm glad you like what I cooked up for her. :]
Typically I like to organize my OCs and sometimes put them in similar settings, so I of course, sooometimes merge their worlds. <u<; Just because they're similar enough so the rules and theme of their setting and environments isn't so farfetched and strange.

I do have a couple more, if you'd like to see them. :]
Like Gideon, a young lad cursed with wings.
Or Mariel, a swamp nerid who delights in fixing, dismantling and re-purposing mechanical things.

And some more supernatural leaning OCs of mine,
:D Like my vampire couples, (Antoine and Abby)/(Earnest and Lyra May).

daikokunyo 12-19-2019 04:39 AM

omg if she is lesser developed idk what a highly developed OC of yours would be like :s-shock:

i'd love the see the supernatural OCs especially, cause i have so far roleplayed supernatural settings but no high fantasy ones. but i'm interested in the other OCs too, cause all your OCs are interesting :f-wants:

Merskelly Metalien 12-19-2019 08:07 PM

Aww, thank you! Ya think so? <:]

My vampie OCs are much more developed. ^-^; thouuughhh it's kind of a lot to read, so I'll only put these two here for now. :] I've got Abby and Lyra-May having much shorter backgrounds afterward, as only one of them isn't human. <x]

:D Also, my vampire realm sort of rules; Pureblooded vampires I've defined as being from richer families, and have red eyes. All other vampires are the result of being bitten and turned, and possess yellow eyes. :] Hybrid vampires have orange eyes. All vampires are immortal, and cannot die if they don't get blood. If they're starved of blood, the only thing about their appearance that suffers is their hair becoming less vibrant, and their eye color becoming a duller red. They also cannot be out and about during the day, see themselves in mirrors or photographs or in puddles of water and polished surfaces. To kill vampires, they must either be impaled with a werewolf tooth or claw, have a blessed wooden stake driven into them, or destroyed with full sunlight. Shooting them, stabbing, drowning, poisoning, and beheading does not work. Vampires from their start up until the 1800-1900's did not have very many other supernatural powers, other than having many years to become stronger, smarter and more skilled. From the 20th century onward, they began to branch out and more hybrid and bitten vampires began to pop up, and among them many with witch blood, so with them, came supernatural abilities. :]


My bois here don't have no powers, but they got little surprise abilities here and there.
^-^




daikokunyo 01-03-2020 03:43 AM

hey, just a heads up that i'm travelling back to college and will probably take a couple of days to settle. i'll read your vampire OC profiles properly like they deserve to be, in a couple of days!

Merskelly Metalien 01-05-2020 03:50 PM

Okie dokie. :] Thanks for the heads up! ^-^ Hope everything goes well on your travel back!

daikokunyo 01-20-2020 04:17 AM

i'm finally back on Tris again >.< also wow! i love how both your vampire OCs' stories entwine. also how you take traditional features of vampires and put your own spin on them so that they're not stereotypical anymore, and even though both Antoine and Earnest are traditional vampires they're so different from each other!

hey, Antoine, i too love anything with oranges in it! :p-grin:
i love how refreshing oranges are, and how good they are for nausea, cause that's something that affects me often. also, no dessert seems too heavy or cloying if there's oranges in it to balance it out.

Merskelly Metalien 01-26-2020 06:39 PM

I'm finally back on Tris too, haha. <x}
Thank you thank you! ^_^ I'm glad you like them both!
:D huh. I didn't know oranges were good for nausea. I just thought they prevented scurvy. X) I'll have to snack on them more often. ^-^

If you'd like I can post two more of my characters that however aren't vampires, are still fantasy in nature. ^U^

daikokunyo 02-04-2020 06:43 AM

oranges help, and lemons help too! for me i find that the smell of orange peel is enough to drive away nausea whereas i have to actually suck on lemons. however, it's more traditional/usual to use lemons for nausea. :p-sweat:

yes yes! post them, i want to meet them \0/

Merskelly Metalien 02-04-2020 07:18 PM

:] They are also great sources of Vitamin C, which helps your immune system and gives you a small but natural burst of energy.

Ok. ^-^ These are my last 2. I have more, but as for fantasy/supernatural, this is about all I could come up with. ^_^;
In a suprising turn of events, both of them are actually humans. :D They're still quite interesting however and have special backgrounds separate from one another.




daikokunyo 03-05-2020 09:50 AM

i've been doing this not very fruitful thing where i think about your characters and wonder which of them had it worst. it's not fruitful, because i realised it doesn't matter which of them had it worst, their sorrows are their own. no point comparing sorrows. but more importantly, they've all overcome their sorrows, not by denying themselves the processing of pain, but by keeping on going and?? i just want them all to be happy okay *hugs the thread and bawls*

i wish i had something actually constructive to say but as usual i am amazed by the detail in your characters' backstories, and in the worlds you create for them. also we have reached the juncture where we come up with a story for you to explore with one or more of your characters, and for me to write with you... your characters are all so diverse that i'm kind of drawing a blank. i suppose i could ask which of your characters you have high muse for, or what kind of story or world you're in the mood to write? (i'm sure i asked these questions before you began sharing your characters, but let me just ask again) >.>

Merskelly Metalien 03-06-2020 03:22 PM

<x'} Hehehe! I'm so glad you think so. <:] I've kept most of their struggles non-fantastical, fantastical being like for example, Frog Prince: "Being a frog is the most of my troubles." x}
I wanted their struggles and backstories to be as unique as they were somewhat relatable. <:] Like Earnest with losing a brother and learning to cope with loneliness, or Rama's need to seek vengeance and look intimidating because she had endured so much terror and never wants to be afraid again.
^-^ I want them all to be happy too! ;U; <3

I'm not sure which of them I have the highest muse for, so to speak. :/ As for moods, my vampire bois and Kelsi are all in a mainly romantic realm of dwelling, and my humans a more adventurous sort of domain. :]

I think though I would enjoy roleplaying with Gideon. <x} Just because I feel like he could be the most fun, hilarious and surprising to get to see. (:T hmmm..If I'm going to go with him, I probably should doodle up a pic of him for a profile.)
His home place is set in a sort of seashore-fantasy setting, but he can really travel on an adventure anywhere. :]
Is it cool if I use Gideon? ^-^

daikokunyo 03-25-2020 06:54 AM

sorry for logging in late TT yes of course! you don't even have to ask, really >.< i look forward to formally having my character meet Gideon, the Angel of Pirates, in a roleplay!

indeed, he can be transposed into any fantasy setting, so let's think of a setting we'd like and then a plot to go with it. a circus setting might be fun too, especially if we have a change of personnel in the circus or have Gideon's circus troupe fall out of business and have him be approached by a new troupe that is MAGICAL (~^0^)~ or even a magical carnival!

Merskelly Metalien 03-25-2020 10:40 PM

It's ok. <8/ I know the entire world is in chaos due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
<x] I've already started on his profile art and it's nearly finished. x~X; I don't know when to stop, even when my drawing hand is tired. So, I'll finish it tomorrow maybe. :] But he
is
lookin'
HAN-sum! x3 ~+

:] Interesting, I wonder if maybe we can make the circus idea into some sort of dark mystery in a fantasy setting. Like the circus can travel and look pleasant during the day, while at night things get dangerous and scary, resulting in maybe theft, kidnaping and maybe even a murder spree! But it's difficult to point out the culprit when so many performers and crew are highly suspect. o.o And the managers can't replace everyone or they wouldn't have a circus. <x]
OR
Maybe a magic circus-revolving story involving a meeting of worlds within the circus? :] Like someone belonging in the freak show curiously interacting and learning a new perspective from a different magical circus performer. ^-^
I think Gideon would likely be considered a freak because of his wings, but he can also fly, and that would likely be his only asset while performing...! *gaaaaasp* <x'D HE'S like DUMBO! lol! Just realized, hehe.

Merskelly Metalien 03-26-2020 08:26 PM

>u< *quiver quiver* yeee!

daikokunyo 03-30-2020 04:35 AM

OH THAT'S AMAZING. THAT ART. i hadn't known how to imagine his hair and now that i've seen the hair in your art of him, i can't imagine any other hair on him :D
i know who Dumbo is (a cute lil elephant baby! right?) but i haven't watched whatever he appears in. i did know he's a circus elephant because he's often with a big fancy ball? maybe he balances it on his nose? but DUMBO FLIES?

both those options are very intriguing, and i'm a big fan of the circus turning twisted and cursed in a way, at night. like the dark side rotating and becoming the face. a murder mystery would be funnnn! especially as a circus is chaotic anyway, chaotic darkness would be like everyone's in a metaphorical ice cream machine churning up crime :D we could even have both ideas meshed? during the day it's innocent, curious interactions, and during the night it is as if everyone's alter egos burst out.

what if the alter egos come forth because it is the 'dark side', witching hour or whatever one could call it, and only the alter egos can survive in such a time- so the daytime performers don't even remember, or don't clearly or consciously know, what they've been upto at night? if the circus isn't only about skills and oddities, but utilizes magic to function so successfully and dazzlingly during the day, it would explain why the prices for channeling the magic would have to be paid at night :o

Merskelly Metalien 03-30-2020 10:10 PM

Thank you thank you!
And...not gonna lie, <x'D and I'm sorry,
but your unawareness of Dumbo is so adorable that I giggle-squawked into a pillow! I'm so sorry! <x'} Just reading "DUMBO FLIES?" put me in a brief happy gigglefit. <3
Ahhh, I suppose I might have ruined the movie for you now though. <x'D Double my bad! Because (spoilers) yes, he flies. <x'3
I figured it was a sort of parallel to Gideon, because he's likewise a flying oddity and circus star. But he's not as cute and sweet as Dumbo. <x]

Oh! So almost like, a Jekyll/Hyde carnival sort of thing huh? :o
Going on that actually, :D it'd be kinda dark and spooky to see that,
though instead of if being the price for magic, for it's dark influence to include circus performers like Gideon who don't have magic,
I propose a demonic curse. :D ?
Maybe each of these circus performers and oddities and employees had to sign a contract with the magic travelling circus, agreeing to it's terms in exchange for something they each desired? And each night at the circus, the curse on all the performers is active in each of them, and their alter egos emerge without their control. So they must find a way to break their contract or to fulfil it in some way in order to return to their whole selves again. :D

Merskelly Metalien 03-30-2020 10:26 PM

<:D If you haven't seen Dumbo btw,
I recommend it since it's such an old piece of animation by Disney,
and it's interesting to see how far animation has come since WWII era. 0.0 Despite it's uh *cough cough!* >.> racist depictions of black stereotyping in the crows and the people putting up the circus tents and everything, it's kind of a tear-jerker. <:]
Here's a clip I found online of Dumbo if you'd like to take a look btw.
^-^ It's when we first see him after being delivered by Mr. Stork to his mother Mrs. Jumbo.

daikokunyo 04-02-2020 08:10 AM

awww i'm happy to have made you giggle >///< hehe. well actually it makes sense! i should've thought, when i saw his huge flappy ears, that he could possibly use them to fly <3

oh my. i watched the clip you linked and almost cried just at that. just the way baby jumbo doesn't understand what the other elephants are saying, so even though they're saying mean things, he's just a happy fascinated baby TT he's been animated to behave so like a baby, his gestures, they tugged at my heart! and when his mother used his flappy ears to swaddle-wrap him! i can't handle it >.< i don't know if i'll ever be brave enough to watch it TT

YES TO THIS. it all fits omg. and it extends the scope of the RP to include arcs however many of the circus characters we'd want to explore. :D

Ohh nooo. <x'} I just showed you like one of the happier clips in that movie! Lol! Not sure you'd be brave enough either, since it gets sad. ;~; But not too sad. <:] No one dies, so that's good. I believe in you! ^_^ You might enjoy Dumbo, up to you if you wanna watch it.
My favorite part in Dumbo as a kid was the infamous Pink Elephants scene, <x'D since it was so batshit crazy. Though it might have frightened a lot of kids my same age, >w>; I found it really the most fun to watch.

Recently found myself tearing up as I watched Dumbo over again. ;u; <3 It's one of my cousin's favorite disney movies, since he'd watch it as a little boy whenever he was sad or scared, and he'd watch it with his mama. Souper sweet. <X] I recommend mucho.


As for the RP:

daikokunyo 04-03-2020 12:48 AM

i think i will probably watch Dumbo when i want a good cathartic cry someday TT if that was a happy clip i can't imagine how the rest of the movie will make me feel. i'll save it for the day i decide i want to wring myself dry of tears xD

h'm. Dark Carnival? Curse of the Carnivalesque? they sound rather dramatic xD
'Devilry, Puppetry' or something with 'Covet' or 'Coveted' in the title? those are my ideas o.o

Indeed! <x') And keep those tissues handy!

Hmmmm, :T Carnival..devilry...cursed...mmmaybe, something like, Circus of the Cursed?
Or The Devil's Carnival? :)

'The Devil's Carnival' sounds cool :D

Merskelly Metalien 04-03-2020 11:43 PM

:D Awesome! I have no objections then. -U- That's a great title!
Now all's left is to sort out the character profiles and the thread. :]
I'll leave that up to you though. ^-^ Seems like I've already done a lot already with my sample characters and all.

Also for RP posting times:
:o I'm typically on Trisphee every day at least for a little bit, and I monitor for new replies and activity on my phone. ^-^ So subscribing to the RP thread will be no problem.
However, :T I usually log off around 10-11pm at night PST (Pacific Standard Time) which might be at a different time where you live I think. ^U^; I tend to get sleepy around that time and have to retire to my cave. :] I seem to have a good track record of waking up in the morning around 8-9pm PST though and sometimes log on after breakfast. ^-^ But please let me know what time is good for RPing for you!

yep! i think i could make one character that interacts more with Gideon, make a detailed character profile for that, and we can insert additional characters, like all the circus ones, as and when needed into the RP. if we do want to make profiles for those additional characters at a later date, or just briefer backstories for them, we can discuss in OOC and just edit the profile posts in the RP and put the extras under spoilers, perhaps. how does that sound to you?

so turns out Pacific Standard Time is 12 hours and 30 minutes behind Indian Standard Time, my timezone :B which i kind of expected. usually all my online friends in the US have their day start when mine ends and so on. i do still find that we're both online at the same time, every once in a while, but i sometimes take time over writing RP replies. so while i'd chat with you when we're both online i don't know if i'd be able to get my RP reply up before you log off.

also i might not get up a reply every day (although now, under lockdown, i can get replies up more often). but whenever i go back to college i might only be able to reply on the weekends ;_;

^_^; I too am guilty of taking some time to reply. But that's okay. :D It just means a nice surprise for when I check back later. ^-^

I'm not sure if this lockdown will lift anytime soon, as the US is woefully unprepared for literally any sort of medical hardship. >_>; But luckily I'm staying inside and gettin' some things done. :] I save time usually to reply, but if I don't it may be due to separate illness, or schoolwork, or house duties. :/ I am servant # 1 so I get a lot of orders within a week and am relied on for help with almost everything. x'D As servant #2 gets only the minimum orders. <x'}

:D Sounds great! ^-^ I'll leave the format to you. :] I'll do my best to adapt. -u- And add a couple of my other OCs I think may be extremely appropriate for this Devil's Carnival RP. :D I'll also try to include some sort of visual representation for them.

daikokunyo 04-05-2020 01:07 PM

i think i might follow a similar format to the character profiles you've been sharing with me so far! :D

i relate so hard with being servant #1. my brother won't unstick his ass from his seat, won't pause his gaming, so i end up doing errands for everyone, especially my grandparents and recently my mother, too.
