-I really feel like my RP has gone a bit down hill lately.
-I'm horrible at remembering things Jas has done at times so I log. And it takes me about 15 minutes to find the folder they are in when I want to look something up.
-I made it a point recently to not avoid RP with anyone. I'm not sure if it's going well or not.
-I don't usually defup unless I plan on bashing. I'm lazy like that.
-I'm so OCD when it comes to formatting and stuff for scrolls and things IG. I will sit there for hours and just go through them and fix all the little things. And then feel really embarrassed when someone points out a word that is very obviously spelled wrong in like..the opening title of the scroll.

"If it makes you feel better, just checking your artifact list threatens to crash my mudlet."
Hey I got all that stuff done.
You're welcome, @Ferrik!
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
* I have never had a good system, and I get so irritated at the thought of having to spend credits/real money just to be half decent at that part of IRE games. It makes me very grumpy. (Case in point, I also don't have the time or inclination to learn how to code, because coding just does not make sense to me and makes me want to break things.)
* I play Aetolia (and all IRE games I've ever played) for bashing, and RP. I love getting to see other people's characters, creativity, and watching how my own grow.
* If I feel a character of mine has had their story come to an end, I quit playing them and start a new one. I'd prefer to play a character I'm happy with that's new and refreshing, and stick to one just because I spent money and time to get credits and levels. (Don't get me wrong, I really like being Omnitrans and having artifacts as much as the next person, but being happy as my character is more important to me if this is my main source of entertainment.)
* I'm a pretty emotion driven person. Playing Aetolia is like watching a movie (I just happen to be in it). If something happens that makes Katszia happy, it's likely you'll catch me smiling. Something funny? I've laughed out loud, lots. Something sad? Yup, I've cried. Something makes me angry? Usually I'll walk away for a bit but it happens.
* I have alts. I like having them for moments where I'm in a different "headspace" and Katszia (definitely my main) does not fit in that headspace. I dislike people sharing alts, and pointedly avoid sharing who other people's alts are because I feel like some people don't separate well enough, and it ruins some of the immersion.
* I have a rune in my haven that @Chakrasul left there when she and @Dhar got into that big fight not too long ago, that I can't make go away! Where's the Comet? (It says it's etched into the floor of the grotto, when the grotto no longer exists!) Divine scrubbing bubbles please?
* Someone remarked OOCly (erk) that @Killien and Katszia are not twins since he was born on the 4th and she was born on the 6th. That irritates the tar out of me. He and I intended to make @Killien one day, and Kat the next, as a way of having one born "before midnight" and one "after". The bum got the day wrong and said he created @Killien on the 5th, so I waited until the 6th. Now, we just RP it that he was born before midnight on the 4th, and they had a very unfortunate mother and a very stubborn baby Katszia who didn't want to come out, and she was born after midnight on the 6th! Poor NPC lady. (A record of twins being born 87 days apart, and several others, have happened. Don't tell me one whole day makes them not twins!)
Umm, that's it for now!
1. I don't read charcter descriptions if they're over 10 lines, unless they're interesting. I'll skim longer ones. I started MU*ing in an environment where brevity was appreciated (raw Telnet baby), which is why most of my own descriptions are less than 10 lines.
2. It's difficult to get back into character, because so much has changed. I am enjoying getting my creep on, thanks to @Ashmer.
3. When I first came back people told me that they or their partner remembered my character, particularly how ominous he often was, and how arrogant he was. I hope I can live up to my character's reputation.
*I regularly hit the hard-coded length limit while crafting. It's roughly 23 lines at 80 wrapwidth.
*I once accidentally overshot the hard-coded length limit by something ridiculous like 50 lines. Unaware that it was a coded limit, Becue tried to override it for me--and it crashed her CMUD three times.
*I designed Alexina some really boss armor that she had to take a nerfbat to, because, again, nearly fifty lines over the hard-coded limit.
*I only rarely hit this limit while RPing, maybe a handful of times ever, and usually only with people with similar emote output.
*While I enjoy the endgame direction I went with Kiralla, and generally like Niuri's addition to such, I feel that overall, these things make her physical state a little hard to describe with any consistency, because everything is always shifting and changing colours on different time-scales. But I don't really know what to do about it, because having it change now seems like a total cop-out to me, and the only logical ways I could think of would involve giving up her Niuri essence, which will happen when the age of Dawn has come and she's naught but a corpse among the fallen.
*ETA: Also, I had to get a dyekit artie, 'cause her clothes/shinies are clashing horridly with her skin 9/10 times otherwise.
*I also hate her current description, because apparently it gives one the impression of atavian type wings instead of faerie wings, but I don't want to SAY faerie wings, so it's a bit unwieldy. Originally, I had thought it read the way I wanted it to--but this came to light as not the case, when @Eleanor drew me my totally awesome and adorable chibis. Annnd several other people thereafter totally came to that conclusion to. So--not sure how to fix it.
*I'm totally considering learning how to PK.
*I totally laugh for like 10 minutes everytime I think about it. Not like. Maniacal laugh, but like, sorta self-demeaning, just like. Silly Kira, you think you could -ever- be good at PK. >.> It's kind've daunting.
"The smell of dusty fur, sweet smoke, waiting and patience, a thing that time cannot kill. The moth that candles won't burn."
In honesty, it's the 40% plus my own attitude about it that's daunting. Buying a system is easy enough, setting it UP would take some doing, because I really have no idea what I'm doing, but even that's not rocket science, I'm sure I could figure it out. I don't really care enough to become top tier, I just want to be able to play my character without just having to accept whatever PK causes I incur in the process. Ordinarily, I just compensate for this by just taunting the person murdering me while they do it, sort've just like 'could you get on with it, I DO have things to do'--probably because this is largely how I feel about PK in general. It's a minor inconvenience to me, at best, and a mild annoyance at worst.
