(Oh? I keep forgetting. XD I posted a excerpt of my story, Will to Live, in an update I made in the WFF. Back when I was doing NaNoWriMo. Marcus and Percival are two of my background characters for my series. I started RPing Percival because he was this 2D guy and I needed to know how he acted. Turns out, if you try to RP a character without the bit that makes them an important character it'll just snap right back into place, no matter what you do. (i.e. When I joined your RP, I tried to take out the bit with him and fire.) I forgot I never linked you to it. wcrpforums.com/thread/47598/minty-update ) (This is true! We can do that. :3 )

((Thanks for the link, Mint. I will surely take the time to read it. [probably now since Tera is on maintenance]) ((Placing a character in a story, versus role-playing them out really creates a difference. In a story you can control the scenario, thoughts, and reactions to one another of characters. But through role-play you can see them react to the thoughts of others. Then these situations, and scenarios can be adapted into your own story, and create for further possibility because of the opportunity to further depth the level of a character through role-play.))
(I'm certain that with Mint sneaking Elliot aboard, we can create a different story from the one we currently have. xD)) ((Whether it be another set of fires. Or Percival arrives to California to make a name for himself only to realize that Fires have been a thing since forever.)) ((Or we change the setting to Europe, where our characters somewhat know each other and have to wrok together to solve a bigger issue. ofc this idea can be changed to anywhere in the world xD))}
((Just switching chars around to be protags with attitude and creating a common issue, might bring out a unique dynamic between interactions.)) ((Just like we've been seeing in Attencio lol))
((Oooo a frame game can also play out interestingly with our chars))

(Cool! I've been working on the story for a very long time, so it's pretty fun to RP Percival without him being from his AU Earth.) (Yeah, I know it does! There are, of course, some similarities. But you really have to learn to walk in a wide range of character's shoes.)
(Yes, I'm sure. Well, wherever Percival goes, fires will follow. It's just...how it works. X'D I've tried to take it away from his character, but you know how that worked out. Less than 4 weeks into Nolyra, he burns down two houses. ) (*snorts* Actually, he's been to CA before. He doesn't want to make a name for himself. He wants to hide. But yeah. His reaction to Cali fires are funny.)
(Oh, see, that would be fun. Whatever the setting. Larger issue or not.)
(Exactly. Which is very interesting.) (Frame game?)

((Ah yes, a Frame game)) ((It's basically one, more or certain characters are framed for something they didn't do. The issue is that they were framed for something they have a history of doing, or just been known to reach levels of committing. It would then be the job of certain chars to help prove their innocence, while another group is trying to prove them guilty. It includes somewhat running, but also conflict in every day scenarios with people they know, trust or distrust etc))
((There is multiple elements. But we would be able to put a stronger emphasis on some over others.))

((Yea it just depends on how we want to go about it. The frame games are similar to roulette where everyone has a certain view on a character. That view then either helps or harms the characters in the spotlight. Whether it takes place in "real world" a different "world" "realm" or "time" varies from there))

((Yea xD)) (( ;-; I want to run an instance but no one is looking for a healer. I have a DPS and Tank but my healer needs the experience before upgrading gear. >.< )) ((And in the meantime as I stare at Tera I wait for my food to arrive :3 ))

(I want to throw my homework across the room. We had a timed assignment, and even with my pretty solid understanding of the chapter (IMO), I still got a 70% on the assignment.)

(Sorry about your test, Misty.)

(It wasn't a test. It was a "pre-lecture" assignment that was timed and incredibly stressful.)

(If it's timed it's just as bad as a test. Yeah, I imagine it would be stressful. )

(Timed homework. >.> Been there so many times. It irks me. Especially online because it's like, "Seriously?" )) ((I prefer homework that has a date and time before locking. Because I can read, type notes, and remodify said notes with homework. I can also start it, leave, save and come back. etc)) ((But yea paid assignments ;-; Ugh hate it))

(It was for organic chem so I had to draw structures to answer 8 of the 10 questions and it was time consuming to get it all right. ugh, I hope there's no time limit on the next ones.)

((yikes ;-; That certainly requires more time. But then again what are teachers thinking now a days? We surely loose ourselves when we got requirements pounding at the door xD))
((I wish you the best of luck. And do try to contact the professor if things get overwhelming!))

(I don't think the professor is going to count the assignment because I don't have a grade for it online. He even said in class that we didn't have enough time to do what was required of us.)

((Survived my first day)) ((It took almost two hours to find parking ;-; )) ((I ended up parking over 10 minutes to find a spot. )) ((On my way home tonight, my car system went off telling me to check my tire pressure. Something's off with my front drivers tire :/ Thankfully made it home. So tomorrow i'll need to take the car back into service. which is sad because I just took the car into service two weeks back for basically the same issue on one of the back wheels))
((AS for school parking, I hope to see if settle after the third week. For now it's gonna be a painful walk. ;-; )) ((But after 2pm I can move the car closer at least. >.> I don't like the idea of walking far at night.))

(Hey, surviving the first day is good. We like you alive and healthy, so make sure you survive the next day too.) (Ick, that's bad. Hopefully it does calm down.) (Are the classes good so far at least? Usually you get a pretty good impression the first day.)

(I think this stuff keeps happening because the professor has never used this site for homework and stuff. The textbook for the class changed this semester :/
Yay for survival! But why in the world is it that hard to find parking? That sucks about your car :/)

(It's interesting that this semester I'm not really sure what to prioritize when it comes to projects. I don't feel I have enough materials to start any of them effectively. Honestly, I just think I'm not used to the fact that I really don't need to be doing anything now, because it's too early to. I'm not used to not having busy hands as soon as I jump into a semester. This is new.)
