Speaking of, confession time!
* Yes, I have crafting designs for assassin robes. I've also lifted inspiration for crafting stuff from books, movies, video games, and anime.
* Sometimes I feel like I'm one of the few people who legitimately enjoys crafting, and I get excited whenever there are new things for crafters.
* I also really enjoy shopkeeping.
* I keep a list of design ideas in a word file. If I were to complete all of them, I'd probably have over 1000 designs.
* I wish the shop stockroom expansion artifact granted more slots.
* I wish crafting artifacts were cheaper so I could buy all of them.
* After finally getting my hands on a good system and an offense script, I'm finding that I'm legitimately enjoying combat, though only in small doses. I still prefer RPing over PK, though, so when offered a choice between emoting with someone or killing some bitches, I'll usually pick the former.
* Since I've been working for a leatherwork craft store for the past three months, I actually have a better working knowledge of leatherworking, and have been looking for excuses to use that knowledge in crafting.
* If I had the complete freedom to make my own area in-game, I'd do it. Of course, I'd have no idea what the heck I'd do about lore. I just like having neat, new places to visit in-game.
It's kind of depressing knowing a large majority of players in the game hates you, and people go out of their way to tell you everyone hates you, and you wonder if it's worth sticking around.
and partially inspired by
Frank Ocean's costume in She by Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All. Of course, since his straw hat and kimono are both gone, it's mostly just Wander's outfit.
Edit: Frank Ocean's influence in the costume design is based more off feel than direct imitation. In the video, he has the feel of a silent witness, a foreign interloper more than a direct player in the drama unfolding.
All designs shown written by @Teani:
[spoiler]
a kawhe tunic of simple cut
Sewn from soft, airy linen dyed a kawhe hue, this tunic hangs loosely around the wearer's upper body, ending at mid-thigh. The neckline is slightly rounded without a collar, and a short split at the front, only about an inch long, marks the center. A border runs along this edge, with a simple vine embroidered with woad-blue thread on the kawhe background, making it almost impossible to discern unless one looks closely. Aside from this, the garmet is unadorned and simple in its cut. Sleeves cover the arms down to just above the elbows, the edges adorned with a similar pattern as the top hem, but this time standing out more as the fabric has toned out into a faded off-white.
It can only be worn in the following location: torso.
It has 16 months of usefulness left.
It weighs about 1 pounds and 8 ounce(s).
It has been dyed through the use of a dyekit.
It bears the distinctive mark of Evening Sky, Teani Fiadhaich.
sturdy, utilitarian short pants
Dyed a faded gray, these short pants are sturdy and utilitarian. Wide enough to accommodate a broad pack of muscle, the legs end just above the knee with a broad cuff of gray color. The sides are fitted with two large pockets just below the hips, openings covered by simple flaps. These are kept in place by bone pieces that run through holes in the fabric. Strange markings cover the bones, a pattern of glyphs that can be found along the outside of the legs, where broad stitching forms a decorative line to cover most of the seam. Small buttons of bone keep the pants secure at the waist.
It can only be worn in the following location: legs.
It has 38 months of usefulness left.
It weighs about 2 pounds and 0 ounce(s).
It will benefit from a primary and secondary dye.
It bears the distinctive mark of Evening Sky, Teani Fiadhaich.
Sturdy, utilitarian short pants is holding:
"case35267" an ornate leviathanbone cigarette case
It is holding 1 objects.

*I have over a thousand designs currently.
*When I finish my current craft binge, I will have more than a thousand designs on Erzsebet alone, not counting any of the ones Kiralla has. Now I'm probably 20 or so designs shy of 1000 total on Erz, counting the ones that Ve'kahi formally owns as hers.
*I'm slowly but surely going through and tagging all of my designs with colour/material/shop they're stocked in. It's taking forever.

*I avoid engaging in/going out of my way to RP with most Gods in general--not because you aren't awesome folk, but because it makes me worry about messing up to an extent that makes me unable to play Erz the way I feel she's supposed to be played. In some instances, knowing the player behind the God negates that entirely. In others, it's just as bad.
*I make really long to-do-lists with things I need to do for Aetolia. These to-do-lists never get completely finished. They end up about half scratched out, at which point, I make a new list, transferring the remnants of the other to the new. I did this last night. (old list: http://oi57.tinypic.com/b7xtlx.jpg) (new list: http://oi61.tinypic.com/33w5f2t.jpg)
Eta: *The sig thing keeps happening. This time with Setne's >.>
I constantly worry that certain people/Gods above me in orgs hate me because I didn't do something fast enough or when I said I would, and I'm never sure how to clean it up.
Like, I said I would write item X, and then ended up doing a whole rework of org stuff Y instead. MAKES ME SO ANTSY.
I'm sure I'm going to be soulfully eyeing this other org rework I have backlogged while writing said item tomorrow, and I will WRITE THE DAMN ITEM ANYWAY.
Also, @Ferrik, I'm sorry. You know why. We'll get that shit done tomorrow, I PROMISE. REMIND ME. PLS.
Anyway. I'm better about it now.
the way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
open hand or closed fist would be fine
blood as rare and sweet as cherry wine
But it won't be me.
Some other confessions:
I get irritable with people who take an enormously long time to respond and I'm talking like 15 mins.
I have a hard time with novices because I've played the game so long it is hard for me to explain things I use without thinking.
Even though I have leadership positions and I do take a small time to make sure I get stuff done: I play this game for the friends I have made and the RP I have. I'm on the west coast and most of the people I RP with are on the East ( @rashar is the exception) so when I get home from work, I only get 2-3 hours to RP with them, so other things IG get put on the back burner.
I have a lot of crafting skills and I hate it nowadays. I've had some major meltdowns because people were trying to get to me change things because they didn't think it was the right way to do it. So, now I just craft things for myself or to give out to others.
I hate drama and if I hear about a character making a lot of drama, I will avoid RP with them because I can't stand it. Might not be fair to them but emotionally I can't handle some of the over-the-top stuff.
Umm, that's all I can think of for now.

Pelts and provisions line the walls of this humble tent, creating a cramped makeshift shop. Bounties of the woods sit in deep baskets, while deep piles of rich furs have been stacked beside them. Dried herbs hanging from the canvas ceiling create low overhead room, with roughly-woven baskets, filled to the brim with vials, encroaching on the scant floor space of the shelter. A set of antlers serves as a crude coat rack, displaying a variety of clothing, and a small wooden frame rests below that, holding a range of weapons for the woodland hunter. Twisted stumps, planed and sanded into smooth chairs, ring the entry to the bazaar, offering shoppers a place to sit while browsing the wares. Surrounded by this panapoly of goods sits a humble woodsman, dressed in faded leathers and suntanned to a deep, nutty brown. His broad grin a crease in his wrinkled face, he welcomes shoppers to his establishment, one hand lightly gripping a plain wooden spear.
Which. Confession: I am a touch OCD with my filing system. If Moirean and Erzsebet had an awesomesauce interaction, to get to the saved log I'd go My documents - Wordfiles - Kira'sAetwordfiles - RPLogs - Erzsebet - Moirean. And then the file'd be named Erzsebet - Moirean - Awesomesauce(whatever I happened to title it) With the addendum of a number if it was part of an arc.
I have folders for designs, for lectures, for news posts, for help files--anything I write for Aet.
