Oh, Cinnamon, if only you knew!
There's a trope for what he just did but I can't think what it's called...

Ah yes, here it is. It's called Medium Awareness.

@snakebug: You'd have to wait for Cinnamon or Flynn to include you. Somehow I don't think Cinnamon would take well to being eavesdropped on.

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 11:22 am

Except for the silly critter having it completely backwards, of course.

Edit: I think this is more lampshade hanging. He's not actually aware of the medium, or even the fourth wall.

PS: I assume Flynn will be less than enthusiastic about a close-up on Cinnamon's injuries.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 11:51 am

Doesn't he have it almost right?

Well according to TV Tropes, Lampshade Hanging can be used as Medium Awareness so I suppose it's almost the same thing.

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 11:56 am

Yes, but it's not because he's actually aware that he's fictional. There's an extra level of indirection.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 12:12 pm

True.

you know if Sixtoes keep looking way too deep into these stuff he might ended up getting kidnapped when he's about to discover some secret government plans

You could certainly deck a room out to look like a cave. I've done it as part of a school production. We put brown, saggy hessian bags on the walls and ceiling, dim lighting, a few lizards and bugs here and there and Bob's your uncle. If you're feeling really crafty you could make some papier mache stalactites and stalagmites. As for the coolness, some tiles on the ground would achieve that. Slate would be even better since it would be rough and have the appearance of natural rock. A few boxes/crates covered with netting or cloth of some sort could pass as rocks. You could even sprinkle some sand around if you like.

Why do you think I'm keeping a paw in this thread?

I did think about it , but the thing is Kandi's living there too , so it would be kinda uncomfortable for her .Beside , I doubt Nadia can think of something like that

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 1:35 am

I forgot, it is kind of open-plan, isnt it? Well she could just do a corner or something.
Or apply for a council permit to...

*DUN DUN DUUUUNNNN*

Build an extension.

I know that sounds over the top but if Senka's going to be a permanent addition to her ~~house~~barnhold then it may be worth it.

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 2:15 am

No, really, what Senka needs is a basement room.

Or an earth-fill house.

Oh, in most rural small towns in the middle of the US you don't need permission to build pretty much anything even vaguely sane, unless the volunteer fire department has rammed something through... and even then that's likely pretty lax by Oz standards. And there's large cities with absolutely no zoning laws. Very unlike Australia.

Shut up shut up shut up!

Hey, guys?

A quick heads-up here, but I probably won't be able to post throughout a decent chunk of this week, depending on a few circumstances and how things'll inevitably turn out. Just a slight precaution, though, since the weather's not looking too good over here. :V

Post by **Serence Frostbite** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 2:54 am

alright , best of luck Rhyzer ^^

Yeah, they're pretty much control freaks here. They made us agree to put in a garden before they'd let us do some renovations on a property we bought in town a few years back. Granted, they were extensive renovations since we were turning a house into a shop, but still...

If he curls up, do they call him a Cinnamon Scroll or a Cinnamon Donut?

eeps I'm gone for one day and I miss two whole pages, sorry just bad at keeping up when as busy as I am

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 12:29 pm

Not to worry, sunauto, I once missed 5 whole pages on a different thread. Everyone is still in the garden and having lunch. Sausages, by the way. Rev and Eva have also joined us.

Esper · Post by **Esper** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 12:41 pm

Good luck, Rhyzer!

@Sun) I know that pain all too well. *Dramatically flails*

But that does bring up a thing I'd like to say, mainly to Hlaoroo and Argent as they are the most prolific posters. Please, Could you guys slow down a bit? I mean, We kinda sometimes go pages between seeing some of the slower posters and all.. So, uh, yeah. A humble request to slow down the posting rate a little bit.

Also: Congrats to RA for reaching 100 pages!

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 12:57 pm

I'm sorry I kind of get carried away especially when that rabbit keeps changing the subject on me I don't think that's intentional it's just the way prey species have to be, he can't actually run away dodging and stuff so he does it subconsciously when he's talking to me and it's really kind of cute don't you think?

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 1:02 pm

Sorry about that. We'll try.

Also, Esper, did you see that Rook wants to join in? He asked back here.

Esper · Post by **Esper** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 1:38 pm

Thank you so so much!

Ack! I completely missed that! He seems nice enough, but a couple things about him:

A) We are really accumulating A LOT of super brains/inventors in RA. 5 I think is the current number

B) I'm not entirely sure how well he'd do in such a... Completely rural setting. I mean, there aren't really a lot of resources for him to exercise what seems to be one of his biggest character traits, that is to say intelligence. Both Tesla and Sixtoes can build and invent in that they mainly use junk and scrap to make whatever wacky machines they do, but there isn't any sort of chemistry lab or anything of that sort really...

Guys, party balance. We can't get through the dungeon if we all pick the same class.

Esper · Post by **Esper** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 1:55 pm

10 point, WeirdGamer

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 2:49 pm

I'm 4th edition split class thief/monk/artificer!

WeirdGamer · Post by **WeirdGamer** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 2:49 pm

Thank you.

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 2:54 pm

No, wait, the thief is inherent in my race. Technically I should include druid or ranger in there, or should that be handled by my race bonuses as well? I don't want to split too much because otherwise I'll need too many XP to advance, and I need the monk for psionic and healer. How do you annotate that?

I don't think 4ed has race bonuses for weasels.

Well they should! I mean, really!

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 7:11 pm

Hah! You're wrong! "Weasels have a +4 racial bonus on Move Silently checks and a +8 racial bonus on Balance and Climb checks. They use their Dexterity modifier for Climb checks. A weasel can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened."

LovingCorgi · Post by **LovingCorgi** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 8:48 pm

I think you can consider Koa somewhat of a chemistry lab sorta thingy, because he constantly mixes his herbs and leaves; only a matter of time till he begins liquefying it.. But anyway all your guys talk about secret government stuff kinda makes me want to turn the tree house that will eventually be made into an HQ for some secret animal/pet group.

Post by **Serence Frostbite** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 9:20 pm

so we have 2 engineers ,3 if you count Zanna , who's been mysteriously silent without Doc's presence

, 4 if you count Eva , 2 medics/healers , if Rook gets in then 1 alchemist , and at least 3 fighters (Kousa , Nadia and Senka) , somebody discover a haunted dungeon already

Wait, what are Pyre and Ryze?

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 9:23 pm

So, I would like to try roleplaying here at Richmond Acres because I'm new. I'm not sure if I should message my reference sheet, or put it in the comics, so I'll just put it here.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Tagg
Character Type: Main
Species: Border Collie Mix
Age: 16 (Pet years)
Neighborhood: Richmond Acres? But Tagg is homeless.
Appearance: Hair is combed down to the right. Hair is same color as fur.
Fur is Purple, with white eyebrows. from front of neck to underbelly is white. Blue eyes, no collar.
-OTHER NOTES-
So, Tagg is shy around people he doesn't know, but is willing to make friends with people fast.
Tagg is extremely cautious around humans, and would rather stay quiet than to actually have a conversation (with a human in the room)
-STATS-
Strength: 3
Perception: 8
Endurance: 9
charisma: 5
Intelligence: 5
Agility: 5
Luck: 7
42 stat points used.
*If these exceed the allocated stat points, than please tell me.
------------------------------------------------------------------

So, I'm going to need help, because I don't know what I'm doing, but I would be happy to learn.
Thank you, and have a good day.
~Neon

Neon) Um, He seems fine, but his color scheme is a little bit of a dealy-doo... I mean there is one canon cat who is blue...Are purple dogs allowed?

The rest) Too many big-brains!
