I think we will end up being stuck in the house doing nothing. But I am not complaining, I am still busy. However, give me 2 weeks and I will have a LOT more free time! So much that I could spend 16 hours on the Housepets forum.

Hey, Sid and Blood are trying to break off from the group. It'll only take a couple of posts for us to separate and get this gaggle of varying-ratings broken up, then Cookie, Milk, Rav, and Del can do whatever light-hearted things they want to at whatever pace works for them, while Sid and Blood brood on how bad humans are at the pace me and D-Singer go at...

Edit: By the way, Keeshah, have you looked at the stats and backgrounds? 'Cause theoretically, Sid would have the upper hand in a fight with Rav...

Keeshah · Post by **Keeshah** » Sun May 08, 2011 1:10 am

Mother's day week is kicking my tail..

I see D-singer ninja'ed me.. i'll have to correct my post for that.

but i have a 15 hour day in a few hours, so it will be late sunday or monday before i can re-post..

Sorry if I interrupted what Blood and Sid were going to do, but that is what Milk would do.

I'm trying to get Blood to break it up, 'cause Sid and Rav are on the verge of getting into a heated argument, which could turn into a fight, which would be very messy and totally inappropriate, yet unavoidable with the two characters at this point.

Just what are you implying? I'm always waiting for someone to post anything! that i can possibly respond too.

Quite possible..
Rav is only bluffing.
It would never get past exchanging insults level for Rav, if it got that far.
With all the re-training he has gone through, he is effectively paralyzed by over-analyst.

Time to show how little Milk actually knew about RV!

RockstarRaccoon wrote:( ( Sorry, nothing coming right now but I just realized I should post... ) )

You can answer Milk's question by telling Blood why Sid came to RV?

Sorry, I'm just not good at handling this many contradictory things at once. What Sid, Rav, and Blood were arguing about is entirely inappropriate for people enjoying lemonade. On top of that, there are 6 characters in one place, which is pushing it in general if they're all trying to interact. I'm just trying to get them out of there to kill the contrast, sorry...

Sid's reaction is valid too, just he won't be gaining any points with Milk!

And that was a suggestion for what Sid can say, because I believe the conversation went like this:
"But is it really necessary to keep thinking with that kind of mindset, even here, at this place? ... ... ... Why did you come this neighbor, Sid? I mean, you are new here too, aren't you?"
"Yeah Sid, or better yet, why don't you tell 'me' instead? I'm sure you've got somethig more to say that's not exactly PG."

Explanation about Milk's actions:

Milk brought the lemonade to Sid on purpose (she knew Sid didn't ask for one and probably don't want one.) The whole point is to get him to put down that depressing topic and take that lemonade instead, which is a form topic switching. (She didn't speak happily though, and she even asked a new question.) She doesn't think interrupting a depressing topic is inappropriate, unless it is actually important or concerning. (And Blood, Rav, and Sid were arguing about Rav's naivety about the real world, which is not concerning in Milk's opinion.)

In short, it was a psychological technique that might seem confusing to some.

[quote="RockstarRaccoon"]Sid grumbled, walking outside with Blood, "Stupid showdog, they only give you a red-tag if you're too expensive to put down... I have the mind to-" he finished the sentence with a violent and vulgar threat about showing Blood just how weak he was.

Arrrgh!!! now you say that.. you are the burn master.
To bad Rav doesn't get to hear it..
That would have been devastating to his ego.
Everything he has worked so hard for an to get back, is all a lie..

I WANTED TO. I really did, but I didn't want to turn the RP into a negative fist-fight! That's why I wanted Sid and Blood out of there, lol. He can tell him later...

It would have sent Rav off to confront his mom an christopher.
don't know if it will have the same effect on him later.

RockstarRaccoon · Post by **RockstarRaccoon** » Wed May 18, 2011 4:46 am

Well then Rav would be out of play! IDK, I'll have Sid say it next time Rav brings it up in an argument, he really hates Rav for being a pure-bred showdog right now though...

RockstarRaccoon · Post by **RockstarRaccoon** » Thu May 19, 2011 1:58 am

By the way, I think it'd be AWESOME to see Sid react to an attempted retraining: he's a bit insane, and incredibly bad-mannered, but he's got the will to put up a hilarious fight if they tried to retrain him... And by that I mean just hurling worse and worse insults as he keeps telling him that they can't tame him...

I just think them trying to retrain Sid would be funny, also that John would probably find some way to get him out before they'd done much...

We need to get buck back posting to get Ochen out with his new family.

Hey guys, don't you think we need more people in RV? I mean we only have like 5 active people!

RockstarRaccoon · Post by **RockstarRaccoon** » Fri May 20, 2011 2:27 pm

I didn't notice, but you're right, getting more players in or bringing back the old ones might be a good idea, especially since Sid is a temporary addition.

yes we do..

I PM Buck yesterday an he said that he didn't know if he would be back anytime soon..
Argent is always idle on IRC now, so can't send him off to see if Cali is going to come back at all, if even during spring break. or poke him to post for Del. an that means we have lost both game masters for RV now.

What happened to marshal? the third GSD that was running around?? can D-singer drag him back in??

But yes we have room for like 10 new people to join up.

Aquablast · Post by **Aquablast** » Fri May 20, 2011 11:54 pm

Why don't you ask Buck if you can be the temp GM or something, Keeshah?

I wonder if Alex is willing to come back?

Maybe I should start advertising RV, but I am not sure how.

RockstarRaccoon · Post by **RockstarRaccoon** » Sat May 21, 2011 2:21 am

Post about it here and in the main OOC, and do it in big font, if someone's looking to join an RP, they should see it.

What's the common age of most pets in RV?

D-Singer · Post by **D-Singer** » Mon May 23, 2011 7:34 pm

Does that even really matter? I mean right now most of them seem to be (in pet years) adults and young adults. But in the past of this RP the ages of the characters played has been pretty broad...

The Game · Post by **The Game** » Mon May 23, 2011 8:41 pm

I just don't want to make a character horribly out of range. It doesn't work very well... cough Addison...

The Game · Post by **The Game** » Mon May 23, 2011 8:54 pm

Name: Victoria "Tori" Cruz

Age: 21 dog/6 human

Species: Dog. Basque Shepard.

Appearance: Tori is tan, with icy blue eyes and a smile she works hard on to make pretty. She's very conscious of the way she looks, going to great lengths to be beautiful-- and it pays off. Her head-fur is usually curled perfectly, with a blue heart clip keeping it out of her face. She has a deep blue collar, and her collar is a large, blooming, pink flower. She wears a ruffled white blouse and blue skirt.

Personality: While arrogant, Tori is harmless. She has a very big ego, it's cost her many friends, but she never hurts others to put herself up. Tori loves anything that has to do with appearance; it's one thing that really makes her happy. She's very loud and outgoing, but she'll keep quiet if she likes what someone else is saying.

Other:
Born and raised in Spain. Spanish is her first language; and she has a slight accent (just rolling her Rs more then most people)
She'll flirt with anyone. Seriously.
Don't ever, ever, upset Tori. She will hunt you down and get revenge.
Her father, Adrian Cruz, was a famous soccer player. He recently left the team to go on vacation with his family.

Background: Tori went through guys like napkins. She wouldn't commit herself to anyone; just pick the best looking guy and go out with him for a week tops. One guy, however managed to actually interest her, but before she could tell him how she really felt, he dumped her brutally, on live television. Tori, angry, used her family's wealth to reduce him to nothing. Since then, dating has been strictly for fun; nothing more. Having a broken hard hurt her too much.

SPECIAL:
S- 3
P- 5
E- 5
C- 9
I- 7
A- 6
L- 7

Quote- "Tears hurt too much, so I laugh instead. If you cry, I will take your hand and laugh, until you laugh along."

RV has had a puppy character to a very old scotty dog.

this new shepherd is going to have the gsd's competing for her attentions.
