Boris didn’t read everything his three brand-new followers wrote, as that was a monumental task.  He just wanted to see a fair amount of samples, get a general idea of their various styles, likes, dislikes and their dreaded kinks.  Kinks.  Such a simple word, yet it continued to give him the heebie-jeebies.  He knew he needed to get over that, and if ever a kink came his way that he knew absolutely nothing about (which would probably be many), Google would always come to the rescue.<br/><br/>And then, there were their avatars to consider.  Always a visual kinda guy, Boris loved to scrutinize members’ chosen images to represent their username.  The best part, for him anyway, was to see if some sort of correlation could be established between the avatar and the name.  He toggled through the three and<i>Peaches</i>was the first to catch his eye.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center"><div class="bbImageWrapper js-lbImage" data-lb-caption-extra-html="" data-lb-sidebar-href="" data-single-image="1" data-src="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/attachments/upload_2018-8-5_16-43-56-png.6214/" title="upload_2018-8-5_16-43-56.png">

</div><br/>​</div><div style="text-align: left">Well, her shapely bottom was, um, pretty close to peaches, he thought, while enjoying her flirtatious avatar.  Those fishnet stockings only added to the allure.  What he had gleaned from her writing was that she seemed to prefer romance above all else in Slice of Life stories, while the settings varied from thread to thread.  If Boris was a ratings board, <i>Peaches’</i> prose would receive an R-rating, as she also liked her smut.​</div><br/><i>Empress Impulse’s</i>avatar, on the other hand, was elegant, for lack of a better description.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center"><div class="bbImageWrapper js-lbImage" data-lb-caption-extra-html="" data-lb-sidebar-href="" data-single-image="1" data-src="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/attachments/upload_2018-8-5_16-44-34-png.6215/" title="upload_2018-8-5_16-44-34.png">

</div></div><br/>The red lipstick was an eye-catcher for sure.  And although her avatar didn’t look much like an empress, who said she had to be wearing a crown?  She could be an empress on vacation.  He chuckled at the thought.  He felt her writing was also deserving of an R.  Just like<i>Peaches</i>,<i>Empress Impulse</i>also favored romance and smut, with an obvious leaning toward the former.  Her chosen settings were mostly fantasy and supernatural.  Boris sincerely thought that he could hold his own if he was to write with either one.<br/><br/>And then there was<i>Shadow Queen</i>.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center"><div class="bbImageWrapper js-lbImage" data-lb-caption-extra-html="" data-lb-sidebar-href="" data-single-image="1" data-src="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/attachments/upload_2018-8-5_16-44-58-png.6216/" title="upload_2018-8-5_16-44-58.png">

</div></div><br/>The fact that her avatar was<i>Bayonetta </i>made his heart sing, as she had to be a gamer like he was.  Her writing, however, soon crushed his “singing heart.”  Hands-down and with no argument, she easily earned an XXX-rating.  There was absolutely nothing she wouldn’t try or do.  She had a clear talent for writing descriptive smutty scenes.  So much so, in fact, that Boris found himself aroused while just reading!!!  If he ever wrote with<i>Shadow Queen</i>, she would definitely be last of the trio, with cold showers always at the ready.<br/><br/>An alert toward the upper right of the site’s page was a most welcome distraction.  It had to be<i>GhostWriter, </i>he thought, or perhaps it was Pierre.  Confirming that it was indeed his soon-to-be partner, he read her message, already eager to reply.<br/><br/><i>Hello GhostWriter,</i><br/><br/><i>Great.  So you’re picking probably the best and most-fun role to play: a Marine.  lol  Not surprised to hear you like blowing shit up, too.  lol  I haven’t decided for sure, but I’m kinda leaning toward a member of a mining crew or something similar.  Of course, my guy would be the only survivor.  Although not as battle-savvy as YC, MC can hold his own in a fight, while also knowing how to use weapons.  No problem, I fully expected YC to be female.  I’ll make mine about the same age, maybe he’ll be an even 30 years old.</i><br/><br/><i>I like your ideas about AIs and extra characters, also known as fodder.  lol  Having learned from the past (from the movies, of course), perhaps the Marines bring along an AI of their own, and you can play that character.  I can also play an AI sent from </i>Weyland-Yutani.<i>You know those conniving bastards.  lol</i><br/><br/><i>Ugh.  Titles.  I suck at those, but I’ll try.  lol  Nice talking to you, GhostWriter.</i><br/><br/><i>CU When ICU,</i><br/><br/><i>47</i><br/><br/>Reply sent, Boris wondered what to do next.  One thing he knew he<i>wouldn’t </i>be doing, however, was to read anything written by<i>Shadow Queen.</i>
