I'm still around, still willing to keep going, and I think EFA would be great as a GM.<br/><br/>Hmm, the erotic: I've mentioned before that I enjoy it as long as the plot keeps moving; the negotiation scene was a nice length for me, about three posts of set up, fun bits, conclusion, with other things happening in the meanwhile (removing the sex probably wouldn't've reduced the number of posts). As to the why and wherefore, I guess I'd just point out that Arianna is a domme and Amatha is an exhibitionist; the random and inappropriate public sex was intended to be random and inappropriate.  And from my character sheet:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Perhaps as a result of her time as a familiar - a position where being ignored is routine - she is surprisingly fond of simple observation.  She is fascinated with people, sexuality, manners, and behavior.  At times she will even contrive a situation simply to take note of how people react.  </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>...and as a final completely plot related sidenote, distracting and tempting someone with sex is a great negotiation tactic, something of which Arianna is perfectly aware.  So yeah; sudden and unexpected isn't always unreasoned or emotionless.
