Well, Ctcmjh went all '*AHEM*' in big bold letters.

I dont know, ask him :|

I asked him already

Of course not, ChewyChewy. It's TH and my problem. We're still new to the Roleplay thing and we don't have a feel for the pacing yet...and I think it might because I'm a little selfish and impatient for not letting others have a chance to post. Besides, your character should have priority since she's so cute and adorable.

It's not like SeaBreeze is being as bad as RG has been in the past.

I understand. On the one hand I well understand the enthusiasm for role-playing, but on the other hand, this is online, meaning that aside from people being available at different times, they live in different time ZONES and so you might be playing while other players are asleep. And I also understand the resentment of waking up to PAGES of an RPG that you have to read through just to catch up so that your character can respond. The trick is finding a balance between running the risk of leaving some players behind and running the opposite risk of making other players impatient and frustrated.

And thank you for your compliments!

I apparently need to find a way to make Fran more noticeable.

Man, it looks like once again I've had the wrong idea about these RPGs....

I thought Wendy was going to be the lowest self-worth of the characters that existed, but once again I'm wrong. I'm really concerned about Parker now, and I do NOT like Autumn at ALL.

In Mexico we have a saying:
Pez por su voca muere = fish dies because of his mouth.

Many words better not been said here

Everybody has a reason for what they do. Keep that in mind.

Russia, her nickname is Fran, not Franc.

Do'h! I am glad that can be fixed. Sorry for that...

Unless someone says something directed to me, I'm not saying anything, I have no reason too :S

Okay, so who's still with Wendy?

Parker and... Alex. I think.

So just the two she hugged?

Well, let's see:
Summer is chasing Dale.
Dmitri, Darren and Fran are headed to Fran's house.
That leaves Wendy, Parker, and Alex.
So, yep!

Right now I'm posting a bit more just because the two characters I'm controlling are alone with just one other character each (and they're responding)...so I don't think I'm stepping on anyone's lines.

I'll slow down if in larger groups of characters, just so everyone has a chance for interaction.

Also, I had a question regarding brief or pointless human interactions? Like when Darren, Dimitri, and Alex got locked in the cellar by Mr. Hyde, while Mrs. Hyde shouted down to them it was time for lights out.

Can we control the 'parents' of the pets if it's just one line once in a long while, like I did then? Or do they count toward our character pool?

EDIT - PS Sorry about the long wait, Chewy...I think Parker is waiting for Alex to respond to your conversation.

yeah, you can control any human type character, such as, if you go to a store you can control the clerk, or an employee or something..

one thing you can't do is control other players parents and stuff, though.

Well, but Wendy didn't talk to Alex....

We should wait till Russia and Zack come on, I think we're posting too fast... Maybe it's just me...

I agree. I think we're done for the moment.

Shipping Chart/List (so far) as of Day 2


Alphebetical
Addison: Too young for this stuff, but she appears to enjoy *glomping* Darren
Ahab: Unknown;
Alex: Unknown; appears to be looking for a family to take him in
Autumn: To be revealed

Wendy: Never have a couple been so shippable. Nemo and Wendy



Let me know if anything needs changing, or if you want to keep it speculation, don't let me know if anything needs changing.

We need more cat/non-dog pet characters, yo. -_-;

That's about the size of it as far as Wendy is concerned at this point--which isn't to say that can't change somewhere down the line....

As for your last comment: well, don't look at me....

True, as this is only day 2. Too early for us newbies in town to have relationships.


FOR NOW!

Only day 2...

..and Day 2 isn't even over yet. XD

Fran, Dimitri, Darren: Try to get over to the park so you can participate in the snowball fight; or if Fran just wants to do art at the park that's cool too I guess.

Aren't you the one who does Darren?

He is, but Darren is attached at the hip to Dmitri, so Dmitri and Fran need to go just a slight bit faster.

Maybe if he replies to the whole room gallery thing, maybe we would.

Do you mean Darren?

Yeah, reply as Darren.

So sorry. I really hadn't the slightest clue at these things. Anyway, I've responded. Sorry again. Also, did you like the drawing of Francia I sent you?
EDIT: I see you put it up on the character sheet. Glad you like it. XD

Here's Darren's Character Sheet:

-type-
Main

-Name-
Darren Hyde

-Gender-
Male

-Age-
human 4, pet 28

-Species-
Chinchilla

-Personality-
Think Tim Curry mixed with Shakespeare mixed with Robin Williams, but he also has a heart of gold and is understanding of others. He enjoys good stories and entertaining others. Craves attention.

-Appearance-
Chinchilla, that is all. His owner dresses him in various clothing, as if he's her doll or something...I dunno.

-Back-story-
Darren was separated from his parents when he was fairly young. He was accidentally packaged with a large shipment of grapes on export to the United States from Chile. Upon arriving, as luck would have it, the man that found him in the crate had a brother that worked in the circus. Darren was able to get a job travelling with the circus as a side show for the younger children. He interacted with the puppets in a puppet show and loved entertaining the children. During night’s he would brush up on his acting by watching movies. His caretaker in the circus was kind enough to teach him how to read, as well. When the circus went out of business he asked to be dropped off at an exotic pet-store in hope that a young child’s family would adopt him so he could continue to entertain. What he didn’t count on…was Anna. He was bought by the Hyde’s to stop Anna's temper tantrum; she absolutely had to have him as a pet. He’s been living in Seabreeze Harbor for the last year.

-Strengths & weaknesses-
S – Sweet-talker
W – At a foot tall, he has certain…limitations; is okay with the dark, but NOT okay sleeping in it.

-Other notes- (modified from original character sheet)
* The Hyde's have a five year old daughter, Anna, who insists that Darren is a girl.
* Anna loves to dress Darren in doll clothes.
* He has an earring, a plastic clip-on that used to belong to one of Anna's old dolls.
* He HATES being dressed up, especially if it's in girl’s clothes.
* Darren generally tries to stay as far away from Anna as possible, sometimes going as far as leaving the house. As long as he’s with other pets of the neighborhood he’s okay with being outdoors.
* He's 11” tall, and around 5 pounds

-Picture-
Coming soon.

-Stats-
S-2 "I'm 11" tall and 5 lbs...what do you think?"
P-5 “Did you see that?...No I'm asking you...I didn't see it.”
E-4 “Let me take five."
C-9 “I'm the life of the party?...except at cemeteries.”
I-5 “I am an actor, not a thespian.”
A-3 “I can scurry...does that count for anything?”
L-5 “Break a leg?...I hope not.”

Wait? isn't the canvas the wooden thing? Hope so, because that would change some things...
Please someone tell me if the canvas is the wooden thing

Edit:

Daaaarrnn.... the canvas is not the wooden thing... THAT WAS THE EASEL!!! uhg, I'm an idiot...

Well Dimitri isn't an artist, so he didn't know. Don't beat yourself up over it. Just clear up the confusion.

Is it too late to join?? :3

You were already in it before, just find a way to catch up. Don't forget to make a character sheet for Addison, please.

Really!? You're really coming back, The Game!? *cries tears of joy* Thank you.
Just to warn you though, there's some stiff competition on "Cutest Character" since Chewy's Wendy has joined.

We can just assume Addison went home with her 'dad' before all the stuff happened in the cellar during Day 1 and slept in during Day 2's morning.

Oh, I forgot to mention this. Zander, I'm adding Autumn as a main character, go ahead and put her on the list. Autumn Wray, Female, Dog, Border Collie.
