Aya

I am sorry that I couldn't make it Natalie! I hope it was terrific :-]

I am so in this in the later rounds!! :-D

I will take one tooooo!

Okhi just brought back the best thread and that deserves a hug and more! :-D

Aya's measurements are a matter of national security so you'd better be careful with those! Worren personally measures all of his clients, but he understands if people get uncomfortable and is flexible about the process. Oh she's a professional! Its the measurements that are so totally secret!! :-D

Aya's measurements are a matter of national security so you'd better be careful with those!

I'd also just like to add that this is a really cute idea! Not sure if you guys have plans for it but Ul'dah seems like just the place for a mage fad! :-D

If you end up looking for any other models let me know! :-D

Neat! Thank you!

Thaumaturge inspired fashion the next trend to weep Ul'dah?!

Since I posted last time: welcome back again! Part Deux :-D

I really wish I could have answered the "orientation" question with: "wouldn't you like to know!"

AMG I love that portrait. What are the goggles? I'm not in Australia, sadly! (Well planning to be there briefly in the near future but that'sit ^^) (I also might wish I were an Aussie for the amazing accent...)

I think you'll be very happy on Balmung! Good luck on making it here! :-D

I definitely have always felt the sync issue, and felt the gameplay was slow (i.e. GCD issue). I did some raiding in ARR, but not "progression", I guess! One of the reasons I haven't and won't, is just that I never found it all that fun for those two above reasons, and I never really cared for FF boss design. I always loved WoWs (both its gameplay, and bosses), but I wonder which I am playing now despite all of that? ^^

*makes all the moves!* There's some great advice in here Don't wait for RP to come to you, go out thereand make it happen!

[align=center] [in the Den - Das Loot Part One][/align] The wood-handled knife rose into the air, cutting through the thick, visceral smoke that clung in the air of the basement room. It turned, and turned as it slowed and then fell back into the hand that had tossed it. It was hot. Very hot. The Spring sun blasted and baked the clay walls around the basement room - but the cool of the earth below left the air tolerable. "So that's what happened, boss?" came the voice, little more than a croak from the diminutive Hyur hunched suspiciously in his chair. "Yeah tha's right." Came the evasive reply of the energetic, red-shocked Highlaner. "They was 'em... you know... scaley types." "And a Duskie." Added a female voice that was more accusatory than helpful. "Yeah, yeah. 'Er too. Thal's balls, you know I won't forget 'er! I told ye wha' she did already, yeah?" It was difficult to discern features in the smokey den, but no doubt Bohanon's brow furrowed at the reminder. "Tha wee girl one, I sure found out who she is!" He beamed with a self-satisfied grin. "Yeah boss? Nicely done!" Added the deep voice of the last member. "Yeah, yeah. I know right? Better 'an that, I know jest who she's workin' for. Some dealer in artifac's, name's 'Savage Kelley'" "And does he have the thing?" Asked the woman. "I told you, I dunnae that!" Came the quick reply of the under-boss nearly leaping out of his seat. "They vanished, ye see? One minute they was there, next they was gone!" "You sure you weren't drinkin?" She asked, only half playfully. "'Ey now! I says sure! So I was sure! Right?" The other men around the table nodded. The woman rolled her eyes. "Now, 'bout that Duskie woman. Whatever her reasons, she really wanted tha thing." He pointed the knife at no one in particular, "And I wannae know why she wanted it so bad. And who the blasted hells she is..." [align=center][/align] Jericho wiped his brow with a damp cloth. As if the Thanalan sun weren't bad enough he had to spend the days in front of the open fires, and the ovens of the Quick Sand. He stood over the rack of buffalo ribs, offering it the attentiveness of an artisan. With careful strokes he brushed them with his home made blend of Thanalan spices that gave them their characteristic kick. The attentive spell was broken by the sudden swinging open of the door that divided the kitchen and the bar out front. Those same attentive blue eyes swept up and around to fall upon the familiar but welcome sight of Momodi's star barmaid. She burst her way in like usual, a broad grin upon carmined-red lips, and the bountiful energy that made her seem like she might just bounce away any moment. He offered a subtle smile of his own as he watched her swing to the counter where she usually prepared mixed drinks. "Another Champion Chachan, Aya?" He asked. She was focused on the preparation of the drink. She swung out a pair of metal mixers, scooping a selection of fruit into each. "They're so popular!" she laughed in reply. Next she poured in a measure of different juice varieties, mostly orange and a hint of tangy tropical fruits. "I think its because you make them." She answered with a look that denied any chance of that possibility. "What would make you say that?" She added a large dose of bubbly, sweetened water from a metal keg to each. A pull on the tap handle released it like a stream of fizz. "Oh... I don't know. You know you're just about the most popular thing here." She laughed, "Oh, I wouldn't say that! You know the food is what people really need out there." She lifted one of the mixers, and then the other, shaking them vigorously while Jerico watched from his station. "Oh... I wouldn't say that..." he answered quietly. "Huh?" She shook the two a little longer, before carefully opening the mixers to keep the bubbling drinks from overflowing. "Oh... nothing..." said the Highlander cook, suddenly turning his attention back to the ribs under preparation. "By the way, you wouldn't happen to know any Duskwight ladies would you?" He offered the careful, detailed description that his brother had passed onto him the day before. Sometimes Bohanon seemed to possess a perfect memory for features and appearances--at least of ladies. Aya finished pouring the drinks and dropped in the little parosols that garnished them. "Don't tell me that brother of yours is up to something? She's dangerous, Jericho, you'd better tell him to stay away..." [align=center][/align] Bohanon nearly boiled over in protest. Every inch of his sinewy figure quivered with a rebellious energy. "Your little princess said what?!" "Hey... hey..." protested the elder brother. "She knows what she's talking about, she's just trying to help." He paused, as if that were it, before protesting, "She's not my princess!" "Yeah, yeah, yeah... right..." came Bohanon's reply, not being quite interested enough to make an argument out of it. "Did'je at least get a name outta Blondie?" "Desert Rose..." "Ai, perfect. A bloomin' desert Duskie."

I'm rather inactive at the moment, but I'd be interested in talking, and knowing the sorts of rumors you might want being passed around!

The time difference is such that we probably won't see much of each other... which is too bad! Welcome to Balmung and FF RP! ^^

I feel like the game could use more down-to-earth scholars, and that seems to be Selarian's way! His willingness to post in prompt threads is also terrific, I just love the effort! Lastly, I like to give props to anyone who makes a character with living parents! Its not that common and it creates so many opportunities for RP! Nicely done

Aya would TOTALLY be in for this!

I should probably stop sniping Warren, but I keep wanting to! He really brightened my day when he showed up at the QS for RP this past weekend. You know that anyone brings that kind of smile and excitement when he just shows up to RP is nice to have around. Warren has always been a character that brings out some of the best, and most interesting aspects of Aya, and I'm happy any chance we get to RP! I dunno about his grumpy forum presence though, yeah? But we let it slide because we love him! There's that whole... Grindstone thing that he pours so much energy into. The single greatest immersion addition on our RP world that is player created. Something we all know about IC and can talk about! Its just wonderful. He also helps us create a sort of down-to-earth and gritty vibe that I just love in RP. He helps make Ul'dah that much more "real". Thank you Warren!

Psuedo response to the Relationship Gif Thread How I imagine Telluride all the time: Okay, okay, sometimes he's like this:

I don't think we've met Chip, but I can tell just how much effort you've put into your character wiki! And the little screen shot edits are a nice touch as well. Its also terrific that you're not afraid to have your character deviate from what the in-game models allow, especially with regards to the lost tail! Nicely done

*Goes to make Wrongogo Gegenji*
