Vapor: A Steampunk RP Region (OOC v.3.0 -- CLOSED)

[Ardkonia]

I once watched a Hellboy cartoon when i was young and i've seen a yokai there, it scared the shit out of me, playing on the string instrument and coughing blood.. It still gives me creeps

[Inoroth]

Fixed

Exhibit A!

[Cyprum Xecuii]

Exhibit A!

I liek ta poast in Mort. Nao post in ma cibil wah!

[Ardkonia]

I await your post the most.

[Cyprum Xecuii]

I did say I was kind of lost as to what to do next in the war thread lol. I never RPed that stuff so I have not a clue what ta do.

[Ardkonia]

wait so are you making a post in Cycuiian Political Plight?

[Fanaglia]

Ok then.


And also, have you made a solid decision of whose bloc you are going to join? Or have you already made that decision and I missed it somewhere?

Serv, I need someone to have written Alice's Adventures in Wonderland so I can use a "Down the rabbit hole" reference. I feel like Fan and Ino have multiple other cultural influences, and a Zhaoian author doesn't fit the European/American culture, really. Could you possibly have a Vaporverse Lewis Carroll equivalent?

I would argue that he would more likely be Vjiayan or Fanaglian since we're more British. I mean, really, could you imagine a German Lewis Carroll? Or a German J.M. Barrie or Oscar Wilde? No, they're all too quintessentially British. It would be like having a British Goethe.

I did say I was kind of lost as to what to do next in the war thread lol. I never RPed that stuff so I have not a clue what ta do.

How about opening the closet door in Mort?

[Ardkonia]

I'll have myself have a Lev Tolstoy.

After my test (Around 9:40 tops).

Fuck nvm, I'll get it in within the hour. Apparently it snowed enough to cause a delay in classes till 1 PM. I just walked to my class to find out that our exams for the day were cancelled and mother-nature curbstomps my ass as I walk back to dorms. God dammit.

I thought college was the place where your well-being was met with a "fuck you" and "go to class/exams". That's exaggerating, but I had really doubted that they would fall to something that even high school kids were told to go through with ease.

On the bright side, the snowfall is absolutely gorgeous.

[Pavlostani]

I'll have myself have a Lev Tolstoy.

I'll claim the Prophet Mohammad.

In my experience, college is 99% of the time all about fucking the students in any way, shape, or form possible.

In other news, I just made a post in Mort, but it's mostly just a short internal monologue of observations. As you were.

[Ardkonia]

I'll have myself have a Lev Tolstoy.

Arent you a russian country? I think Dal needs to claim him.

[Fanaglia]

Yeah, I'd agree that the only nation with a Muslim majority in our world should probably be the birthplace of Islam lol.

You can have like, Batko Mahno.

[Fanaglia]

I've got a post up in Fall. Escorts have been dispatched to the Khamulite messengers and the Inesean messenger has arrived (somewhat dramatically) in Onheath.

I'll claim the Prophet Mohammad.

You can have like, Batko Mahno.

Mahna Manha?

Inesean naming conventions are so weird. Besides the 25 character names, they range from East Asian to central Asian to mesoamerican.

Lol I was just kind of making stuff up based on passive observations. All I really gathered is that they're vaguely Aztec/Incan and that the surname seems to come first, like in Japanese. Or at least those are the assumptions I based their names off of. Are they close enough, or do some of them need to be changed? They're all pretty much bit parts that aren't very important, anyway.

No they are fine. They are all Amplectorian versions of there names. Look at Formbi in the wiki for an example of a true full name. Also mesoamerican named people tend to be from older families. But that's irrelevant.

Was I correct in assuming that surnames come first?

There are no surnames. People take two particles of their long name for use with amplectorians.

[Vitzenburg]

There are more rps than mort >.>

[Inoroth]

@Cyprum --

I liek ta poast in Mort. Nao post in ma cibil wah!

Thank you, and I will make your civil war my next project!

@Inesean Names -- Such a wide variety of sources to draw from.

@Vitz --

There are more rps than mort >.>

Yup, but Mort's a good way to ease into writing: it's much more laid back and free.

EDIT* Fan, what's going on in V-land? Specifically, Onheath? Why are Ineseans firing on themselves? I was going to start formulating a plan for an Onheath V.P.G. Resistance post (after I finished the post for Cyprum's civil war, of course), but now I don't know how to proceed... asprain, prease?

EDIT2* Also, something's wrong on the wiki... half of the photos aren't showing up any more, including the Inorothian Flag on her wikia page... just a glitch from my end, or is this something we need to fix?

[Fanaglia]

Here's a bit more vaguely-related, hilarious military badassery. I'd heard of Simo Hayha before (an unarguably total badass), but the rest were new to me. I was laughing almost to the point of tears when I got down to Jack Churchill, and then was literally gasping for breath and crying from laughing so much when I read their bio on Alvin York.

I think I'll just smile and nod and pretend to understand.

What do you mean? Obviously. I'm just all caught up on everything except Voerdeland (which I'm working on, slowly but surely) and Mort is the one that's waiting on the most people to post. Or is your grumble directed towards someone else?

The Ineseans aren't firing on themselves. They were Resistance fighters disguised as Inesean soldiers attempting to capture the corporal. I planned on clarifying it in my next post.
