    Children, hopefully. You have a dark mind.

    Kopo's probably tried Horsebird at some point. ...What hasn't he eaten, now that I think about it?
  3. I was raised on the suffix/legacy system of RaGaJaZa (Za was added in Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance, presumably as a stand-in for level 5 spellcraft) for spell terminology. I think it sounds a lot cooler to say "Firaga!" than "Fire III!"
  4. The fact that you are on the internet contradicts this. Heeh. I had a marketing professor in college that said once that ppl who say that persuasion through media holds no power over them are typically the ones who are persuaded the most because they feel that the choices they have been subtly guided to are their own :evil: Straight white American gun loving Republican who will vote for Donald Trump. How else may I prove you wrong today? [...] Did not mean to offend. Like I said, it was what a professor in college lectured on once - not an opinion i conjured up myself just to contradict you. Still, I'm not certain how claiming any of those things can be used as empirical evidence that you are impervious to media suggestion. Every media site, show, etc. is saying NOT to vote for Trump.
  5. Hiya! Welcome to the RPC! Hopefully I can answer these in an acceptable manner. 1) YES! Seeker-Keeper mixes are allowed, although not common. There's no genetic inability and the official Miqo'te naming conventions attempt to show some hybrid names as well! Seekers and Keepers come in all varieties of shapes, sizes and skintones, however! Sometimes it just takes finding the right NPC to show it. Hell, I think we technically have a mixed breed Miqo'te NPC: F'lhaminn.
  6. The fact that you are on the internet contradicts this. Could've sworn he had a block button and the ability to just not visit websites or peruse comment sections/threads that offend him, but no, you're right. Using the internet automatically contradicts that statement.
  7. These are very clean and simple. I like them a lot.
  8. What do I call Dancer characters? ... "Sexy." Case closed.
  9. Treat this place like you would High School, and you should be fine.
  10. That looks suspiciously like Sazh's jacket. Might be seeing things... You are seeing things. Damn shame I am, too, because I'd kill for that jacket.

  12. Having a character who, at best, speaks laconically, using only 1-2, and rarely, 3 words to describe her feelings or the context of the situation, I have to agree with this sentiment. Emotes help a lot.
  13. 3:08 Those are the Mom and Dad Bombs from FFIV & FFIV -Interlude-
  14. "For too long they have ravaged our beaches, and invaded the cooches of our women. Today, we take revenge!" "FOR GREAT JUSTICE!" I fought mudcrabs tougher than you! That was legitimately the only picture I could find related to my search on google of "Crab on fire."

  16. I lost it at the fourth one.
  17. Welcome to the community! It's nice to meet you.
  18. Because apologizing for my lack of context totally implies that I did it entirely on purpose. Try again.
  19. What was considered "cold", though? It may have been the standard temperature but he preferred it hotter or an error on the barista's side as you said. We don't know. Either way, there's no need for Edgar to be such a condescending prick about it. Er, between 70c - 90c is the best temperature to serve any hot drink. And lets be real here. It's a hot Chocolate. Not a lukewarm Chocolate, or a blood warm Chocolate. If it's lower than 50c, you're not serving it properly. Prick or not. Edgar's brother and He have a right to complain, no matter how harshly. Money was involved and the drink was obviously nowhere near warm enough to be called a Hot Chocolate. So the employee was doing something very obviously wrong. Customer entitlement is a major issue. Yes, people have a 'right' to complain - but that doesn't mean that the customer has a right to be an arrogant wanker. I have my doubts that the employee in question went out of her way to make Edgar's brother's life a misery - so the personal attacks aimed at the employee in question are both irrelevant and obnoxious. Paying money for a service doesn't give people the right to be nasty either - especially if the mistake is an innocent and understandable one as well as something that is almost certainly going to be fixed if attention is drawn to it. I've worked plenty in the service industry. ( Starbucks is not retail.) I've had to deal plenty with customer entitlement. But there is a vast difference between being served something wrong, and a customer being entitled. A customer being entitled is asking for free food because they didn't enjoy their meal. A customer being served cold food and complaining, Is not entitlement. And I don't see how serving some one a cold drink is understandable? I'm no barista, but one can assume that there is a few basic steps to making a Hot chocolate. The main one being, is the drink hot? Understandable is getting the drinks mixed up, or forgetting they didn't want whip. Those are understandable situations. I'm not picking sides here. I'm just saying that the complaints are justifiable. The woman was a teenager whose work ethic consisted of frequent errors like these, as well as putting on makeup during customer lineups. She rolled her eyes at our orders. This was hardly one of those "poor, overworked person makes an honest mistake under duress" situations. My bad for not being more specific, but I like to think the responses pointed out all the problems with white-knighting for someone you barely bloody know. It's not black and white, people; not every employee working for Starbucks is downtrodden and barely scraping by. I acknowledge that as a thing that happens, I'd be stupid not to, but this was not the situation you thought it was.
  20. It is Gothic. Gothic Victorian/Steampunk.
