/em Ignacius picks up his axe, running an eye carefully along the edge. Â "I suppose you think having an axe in my line of work is a hindrance." Â He shakes his head, settling on his knees before his whetstone. Â Sprinkling some water on its surface before rasping the blade across the rock with a hungry hiss, he says, "But I've learned that the best tool for killing isn't the best tool for killing. Â It's the best tool for all situations." Â Running an eye over the edge again, his eyes gleam over its surface at her. Â "You never know who or what needs to die, so you bring the tool that does it all."
My people have some longer and more philosophical conversations. Â -c- is our friend.

If the chat box is moving slowly enough for me to write something that long, I love to. Like, if there's just two or three people or so. I'm not the fastest writer so if I set out to do that my post often gets lost in bigger groups. (I don't even RP in the Quicksand, my FC's events can just be that large) My post's example looks like a lumpy crayon doodle next to this! xD My ingame posts are often much more descriptive, if there's much more to describe, I just couldn't come up with anything off the top of my head without context. Whether I use /say or /em strictly depends on whether or not my emote would start with Shopu's name, or with dialogue, because that's something that matters to me-- word flow and the order in which things are read. /em so they don't have to read "Shoshopu" twice in a row. Other than that I write my posts the same way regardless of whether /em or /say is in the front.
