I'd be honored if you did. Works in either place. I send players to Multiverse and quote from it when they TG.
Nat: Night's always in some bizarre state somewhere between "intoxicated enough to kill a hair metal lead singer" and "annoying Mormon missionary sober".
Swith: It's because you're so awesome. God himself refreshes the screen before he types just to see if Nightkill has written anything while he was off somewhere else.

Toscha is a friend and she wants to know him better. In fact, she wants to know everyone better. That's the reason she is their.
Funny, I never had her think of any romantic inclination in that event yet people assume its gonna happen Very, very telling AND somewhat insulting...
Mary sat on the couch and giggled playfully at the boy. "So, what do you want to do?"
Mary tucked her legs under her as she curled up on the couch. She cradled the hot cocoa in her hands, fingers guarding the cup as securely as she guarded her own heart. She liked John, but not that way. She didn't want to do anything that would lead him to believe her intent was anything but friendly.
She giggled at his comment and then fished around for a reply. Nothing came to mind.
"So, what do you want to do?" she shrugged.

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.

Also, I'd agree that when people write what they know (which everyone does to various extents), they be sure that they're absolutely ready to do that. Occasionally even veteran rpers can fall victim to becoming too invested in the material they're writing. This post here had been particularly painful for me to write, and I cut it off before it actually concluded because I was getting disturbed by it. The gist of it is that Crowley is suffering from severe depression, which I've had issues with, so it was difficult to write.
Which is another thing I'd raise - be careful with what you write and be absolutely sure you're emotionally ready to do it. You don't want your content to actually cause you hurt or make roleplaying difficult unless you're up for it. Don't do things that make you uncomfortable and feel free to ask people to stop if they're writing things that cause you discomfort or trigger things for you.

It comes across as a prelude. If that isn't your intent, you need to make effort to show the reader otherwise. Several people have already assumed it based upon the scene's flow.
Do not blame the reader and become insulted when the intent has not been woven into a scene by the authors. We see very short posts that focus on giggling and a few words. It might help us better understand the motives if players wove in thoughts and mannerisms beyond basic description.Mary sat on the couch and giggled playfully at the boy.

"Hey, Bran, don't worry about it, it's not an argument." sounds a lot nicer than what you said.

I believe I've caught up. TG if anything's missing. (Videos are updated on the new OOC - do not post there yet.)

Mez, Thriller, Wren and Rudolf are at a table. There's a barrel of alcohol near them. It looks like the start of a loud and festive event. Ocho and MB are at the bar. There are plenty of empty tables scattered around.
I believe there were other characters on their way there. One of them is Rodney, but I won't post his arrival until Sandy's group arrives (he's walking behind them).
