Enjoy the archery!

Goodnight Agy, and goodnight PL Peeps.

Qeno and GT. Please clear it with me before bringing in something that could potentially harm others. Bringing a fighter through would be considered a hostile action by the Bielefeld nation, for example.

I'm usually lax on portals until they reach a certain size. If it becomes larger than a doorway, it will attract certain nasty things.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination.

Ah, the wonders of emulators. I got stuck on Majora's Mask (My absolute favorite Zelda Game!), and now I just got to Death Mountain of Ocarina of Time (My family's favorite Zelda Game!)

Also rediscovered Donky Kong Country on the SNES, and Super Mario 3. Ooh! I should download the Power Rangers game! That game was dope as fuck.

Anyway, I'm in the same boat as GT. It's nearly 4:00PM and I'm still eating breakfast: Oatmeal and Coffee.

Good definitely-not-morning-anymore, everyone.
Come to the light side.  We have teamwork, waffles, popcorn, grape juice, and way too much ramen.

Unless one is a genealogist, therapist, geneticist, or FBI agent - who is acting within the scope of their job - to claim that anyone is wrong about their own identity is not merely absurd but also extremely rude.

Well, if anyone was ever curious about the story quietly fermenting behind the scenes as characters go about their shenanigans, look no further than one paragraph in my last post. The only thing not covered is Demens and the reason everyone's characters get stranded in Bielefeld, and how Fate and Time and Fae play into it.

Go about your lives, good citizens. There's nothing to see here.

Sometimes it helps to write them in MS Word. It picks up on wonky grammar, plus the thesaurus is quicker.

Don't get too reliant on using a thesaurus or dictionary to spruce up your posts. At the end of the day, the words should flow properly. Sometimes a simple word's just as good as a complex one. Sometimes, a simple word's even better.

Yeah, there's always a lot of big words being thrown around in PL. none of my characters have English as their first language either.

Ah, I've been discovered! My skills at letting people down gently have failed me!

Just kidding. It's not that I don't like detailed description and novel-style posts, but I do think sometimes less is more. A lot of times more is better but sometimes just posting a few sentences of revelation outdoes paragraphs upon paragraphs of exposition.

Meh. Be that way. *laughs*

Look on the bright side. All the background info is there. Usually Cer and I annoy the hell out of players by not revealing anything. It's just a simple post. "Minerva watched a bird fly overhead before nodding to Klaus and walking away. The plan was set." All the planning was hashed out behind the scenes to leave players in the dark.
