{<blockquote class="uncited"><div>Xarces: ( and to a degree so was I being 99% prey on most days. But I did not want to back out, always willing to roll with the punches, and tried my best to see it through.) </div></blockquote>Sorry. I had in mind that you'd told me your preference was pred/prey, but I've obviously made a mistake somewhere. I'm really sorry I violated you in that way, and I'm doubly sorry that it caused some stress between you and Anime_Chaos. Please be gentle with each other, as I'm clearly the cause and blame should fall on  me. PS: Can everyone please check their character details and vore prefs in the opening post - it can be a useful reference, not only for me but to see at a glance whether another character might be receptive to a vorish flirtation.<br/><br/>More broadly, I won't ask that emotive language not be used in character, but if it is meant only in character it would be good to soften it with an out-of-character comment {wow, I'm really into roleplaying this conflict between our characters} for example. If you are personally having strong feelings then I think its better to address is out of character – I only know you all a little bit, but I have the sense that none of us would deliberately chose to do something that would upset the others}.<br/><br/>{In practical terms we should jump to here in Xarces's post, which is anywhere where I would've intended to interrupt in any-case. Jermayan, I think your post is unaffected. Anime_Chaos, I think yours belongs to the timeline I interfered with, and so too the rest of yours, Xarces – apologies for your unused efforts}.<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>Xarces: wiping his face as he looks over his toned torso, to ensure that no permanent harm had been done.</div></blockquote><br/><br/>...but Robert's body was... strange. {I'll drop out-of-character here and simply state that Robert has been fatally wounded by the teleportation accident, and dies swiftly}.<br/><br/>“House Orien...” the Adept whispers, her eyes still very wide, “apologises for any inconvenience experienced caused,” she mouths the words, as if learned by rote.<br/><br/>Perception/Sense Motive DC15<div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">The light of reason fades from his fiancée’s eyes. {You may take an action now if you wish, for example grabbing the fiancée, trying to calm her, or attacking her.
