Night Tasarinan!

Cerillium wrote:Tilt, that's nearly as bad as mine. "ah" is ingrained in much of our sentences on top of the odd pronunciation. I've noticed some speakers replace some of our honorifics with it. Tilt-ah rather than Tilt-san. I don't know why. Some do it, some don't. It's also added at the ends of words. Why??? There's bound to be a linguistic reason.

Swith hates it when people mispronounce her name. Everyone does. She answers to it if you call her. She's too shy to correct them.

Weird. I want to say it's a Chinese influence, but that would sound really Sinocentric of me. Plus we'd put it in front, such as Ah Tilt (阿Tilt) - this is also the source of Swith's "crispy" nickname, by the way. Hmm. This fascinates me.

*le sigh*

Everyone says aut-TREESE. If you click on the little speaker in the Italian box, it gives the pronunciation: this.

Cer, I'm not shy. Americans don't trill their 'r' sounds so it gets under my skin worse than aut-TREESE.

Oh. Yeah. You mean by Italian phonetics. Yeah, I was confused about that when I first saw your name in print. I wondered which way to pronounce it, and then you told me to use the AmE pronunciation.

So really, any mistakes I made are on you.

With Bran offline, I don't wanna leave him behind in the conversation. I don't want to move Tora, either, though....

I interpreted that any attack on his that was physical, including arrows and shotguns could be redirected..... but it seems a bit annoying to not be able to punch him....

Paradox is sinister and cleverness is evil. For example...

Swith throws an attack on him knowing he can turn it back. So, she throws a massive attack at him and simultaneously drops a sphere over him. The force of that attack rebounds on the sphere's interior and tears him to shreds as it bounces around.

Just reached the part of the OOC where I returned. 19 October 2012. Cripes, that feels like forever.

There are many forms of Force Manipulation. It looks like he's capable of Kenetic Energy Manipulation. I'd need to know if he was capable of other forms of force manipulation (cosmic, dark matter, etc.) There are some characters who are capable of dark matter manipulation and, like fat spiders on a web, they'll pick up any changes made and come investigating.

Bear in mind: we already want to kill a few arrogant bastards - Yuri, Yoshi's cousin - so having another arrogant character will just mean the already-circling wolves have a new target. I'm expecting the cousin to die by October (Naomi kill).

As for our current players:
You guys are playing personifications that can only be truly harmed by nation-related issues. You're also playing demigods, vampires, time cops, etc. We give all players a chance. I'll take a look at his RP links when he posts them to see how he runs his game stuff.

Just physical attacks, nothing else. Bullets might be stopped/redirected, but you would have to be obvious about bring up the gun and shooting at him. His arrogance is mostly just knowing that he dominates most physical tests, so he is cocky. It isn't belief he is a better person.

I've done things like that before. High five for ridiculously time-expensive character creation!

And now, I'm soon for the shower. How late are you all staying up?

Also, NA, I don't know the layout of the city. *bites wristband, laughing* So, I don't know what's near the group.

I'm getting off in a few minutes...

Would you shoot me if I told you that your character shares a name with one of the guys on a consult team? Dr. Rick Haug.
