Yesterday I played out a scenario where Nell (Vyce's fairy) taught him a sigil that could illuminate metal objects in a small body of water when written and channeled in his tome. He discovered a brass earring in the scrying pool in the center of the quicksand, which Nell threw back in because who cares about a brass earring.Ehh, it happens sometimes.
I found it interesting but a little disheartening that a man rolling up his sleeve and shoving his arm into the water after doing something glowy with his tome did not attract even glances from the maybe 12 RPers in the immediate area at the time. These were pharagraph posts that I waited a few minutes in between so as not to clutter up the chat.
I really think there is bubble-syndrome in a lot of groups.
I once fired an arrow into the ceiling of the Quicksand pinning a flyer to the roof in front of a supposed "guard" who'd been emoting what a boring night standing at his post he was having. Nothing......
Other times I skip a pebble into the fountain and *BAM* instant RP.
