Re: Quotes & Misquotes: Falling Off of Bridges

So, my sister is afraid of spiders. As I was not looking at the screen at the moment, I asked her to check it for me. She immediately looked at the screen, saw something about an egg, and then all she could see was a hoard of angry, red spiderlings attacking. Safe to say, she freaked out a little bit. At least for a moment.

Camus is now envenomable.

They screwed up letting knights envenom in Achaea and they could shoot camus arrows for awhile, it was pretty amazing.

Re: Kalena

Wjoltyr respects the living delights out of Kalena. When she expressed her disappointment at his participation in the raiding one late evening at the onset of the war, it felt like disappointing a parent or mentor. Really a super class act and I hope we get a chance to emote rather than just get my face smashed in with a weapon and send nice tells about after it all!

Re: Teradrim, A not very Earthen experience

Hi, I'm new to Aetolia and wanted to be a dirt person so I joined the Teradrim. Ever since work started, my hours have become terrible, as I'm only able to give my full attention to the game once most people have gone to sleep. Before that, I didn't see much RP around and thought the guild itself to be quiet, although Fyrren and the others did their best to answer any relevant questions I had.

While we're on the topic, I've never been invited to any OOC Teradrim Discord servers and I don't plan on joining any because, based on experience, the worst thing you can do is join an unmoderated server for a MUD.

I came from a very RP-heavy game so I'm still adjusting to the lack of interaction that happens coming across people wherever but I understand that not everybody prefers to RP in the same way as I do and not everybody is interested in RPing with me, period. As a result, I've been keeping an open mind, observing the RP culture in Aetolia, and just operating in my little RP bubble, putting together my own Teradrim/Earthcaller RP despite there not being any regular earth-kissing ceremonies, IC "how to make your golem work with you" training, and what have you. I'm oblivious to most of the issues being talked about up in this thread so I don't have anything to say about all that, but I look forward to seeing how things will go from here. Especially since I suck at PvP and I have specifically designed my character to be bad at everything. (I know this has frustrated other players here OOCly before.)

Before I ramble any further, I guess my point is that I've been waiting to get involved with more Teradrim/Earthcaller RP for forever so if there were people looking for this sort of content, I'd love to lend a hand. I participated in that shop desc contest, too.

Re: Kalena

We've had the chance to talk a few times now, and I enjoy the takeaways I get from each interaction. In addition to being a classic templar who is true to her beliefs, she is also respectful of people around her, regardless of their class or social standing. As a result of the engagement, Reave has gained insight into how to treat other people and how to be aware of those around her.

As a writer, you have also surprised me in some ways. Due to your character's ability to pick up on queues, as well as confront them, I often hit backspace to respond to her awareness. Thank you for the interactions

Kalena's eyes crease in the corners at Tala's feigned innocence, fighting back a grin from forming against her lips. "Yes, I see. Clearly all Reave's idea." the woman states, a mixture of amusement and sarcasm dripping from her words. "You two be careful, don't accidentally hang each other." The redhead teases before starting to make her way into Esterport. "I need to rest for a while. Nice to see you both." A thought seems to hit the woman as she turns back towards you, "Tea is boring, if you're going to get caught doing things... at least have some of <<redacted>> to blame it on. I sell it in my tavern, you know the way." the woman offers up with a knowing grin before disappearing into the city.

Tala tilts her head towards you, laughter in her eyes, "Yes. Maybe not get in trouble" she points out and then curiously, "what you done?"

You have emoted: Reave inhales, obviously not impressed but equally confused by the redhead's remarks as she watches her disappearing form, "Feck do I know?" She lifts her hand, disheveling her curls with an annoyed scratch of the head, until awareness overtakes her, "That bast-..." She darkens considerably, scowling at nothing in particular, before she walks off and calls over her shoulder, "Men."

Re: Kalena

I know we don't really get to RP much, but I wanted to leave something here. I don't even know how Rin and Kalena's friendship started at this point, and it's had its bumps here and there, but I really do appreciate it. I don't think my gametime would be the same without Miss Moo to my Miss Ducky!

But all of that aside - our interactions have always really shown a lot of depth in Kalena. She's warm, friendly, and caring - but also more than willing to put you in your place when its needed. She doesn't back down, and from what I gather is the good kind of defensive for those she cares about. She's really brought life to the organizations she's taken part in, and I do feel I'm missing out by not seeing how leadership has been under her.

Re: Kalena

@Eoros made me do it. But I think it's a good enough idea to see how Kalena can grow more or what the general consensus is of her.

You're right. I did. Everyone deserves to shower love and praise onto the best person I know.

Who knew that when Drystin scooped up two tiny Pages that it would turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to me (as a person) and Eo as a character. We clicked instantly and so did they. Kalena has always been Eoros' light, the one to calm the storm within her and they just fit together like pieces of a puzzle. They have their arguments and disagreements but the moment someone threatens one, the other is right there by her side. I have so enjoyed watching the girls grow together and Eo is SO proud of her sister's accomplishments and even though they are parted (for the time) they still manage to hug and make up because they can't stand to be parted from each other. Eo is Kales' built in cheerleader and always will be.

I am so glad we found each other and I am happy to call you one of my best friends. Your writing style is unique and the way you bring *all of you* to Kalena's character is something to be treasured. Love youu

Re: Kalena

I often forget these types of threads exist until someone posts in one, so thanks @Eliadon.

When Kalena started out, I didn't really get a chance to know her because she'd spent most of her time with her family which were also in the Templar at the time. Then sometime later things put us at odds with each other before I took my 9 month break.

All this time later, and I think she's grown and changed as a character. Our characters made up some time ago and she has become one of my favorite leaders in Spirit. She's always present and ready for anything.

One time someone esteemed me with something that I think applies to Kalena too. You are one of Aetolia's true treasures.

Re: Eoros

Oh man... I dont even know where to start! The yin to Kalena's yang! The two are polar opposite in personality and demeanor, but so fiercely loyal to each other. Twins no matter what separates them! I love that the two of them can argue tooth and nail, but at the end no matter what, it ends in hugs and love. Eoros has made my playing experience and especially Kalena's life so much more enriched. The two challenge each other in so many ways, but always find ways to agree or get along. You as a player just blow my mind, your creative writing style is unmatched, and I love how natural everything feels with you. You are amazing, and I am so lucky to have you as an RP sister!
