<span style="font-weight: bold">OOC: Hi. If you’re going to have an in-character squabble, that’s fine, but please soften it with a note at the end of each post or something, e.g. ‘OOC: Great roleplaying! Loving the raw emotion between our characters right now. Can we take it in the direction of...’ or I’ll worry that you’re having a real fight.<br/><br/>If you <span style="font-style: italic">are</span> having an OOC squabble caused by in-character conflict, then please remember that part of having a fun RP for everyone is, as a player, not always doing the thing your character would be most likely to do, but finding the in-character reason for your character to back down or to defuse the conflict. Or drop me a PM and ask me to have an NPC dash in and defuse things… which I’ll do now, if that’s okay? Also don’t forget we can decide that certain things did or didn’t happen, if everyone involved agrees.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Offering</span><br/><br/>I gave Synys a thorough<span style="font-style: italic">kick</span>against the back of her tum. “It doesn’t<span style="font-style: italic">quite</span>feel like I have your full attention,” I purred, gently massaging her belly. “Aren’t I too tasty to risk upsetting your stomach with a squabble, hmm…?”<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Oblation</span><br/><br/>I sighed, softly, and gently wrapped smoky fingertips about Xarces’s arms. “Don’t worry,” I purred, “she didn’t devour anyone important, only my sister - as she was meant to.” I paused, for a moment, to snuffle into the soft feathers of his back. “Wow,” I said, “you really do belong here, don’t you? Would you like to eat me now?” I offered, nibbling my way up his neck. I could taste his divinity, and its demonic corruption - and the flavour was… just divine. “Or I could devour you…”<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">OOC 2: Can I just get a hands-up of people still playing, too?
