The following interaction is not the least bit canon but the problems definitely are. Time to smash the 4th wall for a little bit. ______________________________________________________________________________ "...so I can't use this axe." Kurt points to the parashu replica on the table, the very same one his red panda, Kojuro, was sitting on. "..for botany? Is that about right? I mean are you sure? I think I can control my strength enough not to make the tree shatter into a glorious burst of a million splinters." "Yes, Kurt, stop asking the man the same question over and over. Besides, my issue's more important." Nah's ears and tail pricked up, agitated hearing the other guy ask the same thing to the reader person. "Now, do you know anyone, anyone at all who can help me pick up a new fighting style. I mean I sort of got to level 52 then had to help dad around the shop for so long all my skills decayed to level 1 and my equipment was sold under my nose." She sniffs, over the course of her explanation her ears pressed flat against her head, while her tail just coiled around the leg of the chair she sat on. "Oh I'd teach you, Nah, if I could but we can't exactly exist at the same time now can't we. Anyway, obviously you'd agree with me that her isn't as pressing as mine since I'm sort of just...poor at the moment. So yes if I can't use the antique parashu to harvest crystals and the like from a tree that means I have to sink more into a few more tools? For a smaller axe so I can start well weaving and cooking in ea-" "-You know you still have to fish right?" Nah added. "So that's one more you'll have to sink your gil into." Her lips twisting into her ever bright smile. "Well anyway if you can find someone to help me get back into the swing of things, I'd very much love to meet them. Also if you can find maybe someone I can talk business with." Bolting up from her seat she dipped low in a bow and waved her hands. "Well I just need to put that out really, but I can't say, dad still needs help in the shop!" Kurt watched the miqo'te leave the blackened room, before sighing and shrugging. He stared at the reader and leaned in, confident that the miqo'te was now out of earshot. "Don't tell her anything but I'm also looking for someone to start me off on the right foot in Thaumaturgy. Half the time I think I'm just flailing around in the dark. And I guarantee you I'm quick study sort of..." He pushed himself up and off the chair, picking the axe up and waving his panda over. "Come on Kojuro, we still have things to do too." The panda climbed up the midlander's leg, traversed his back and perched onto his shoulder, digging it's claws into the fabric of the man's shirt. No sooner had Kurt taken a few steps away when the panda started clawing his face again. "Gah no, no, you wait for your food, I don't even know how far we are from the Goblet." He scolds the animal rather sharply, the same animal that sort of just ignored him and continued lightly scratching his face as he walked away from the reader. ______________________________________________________________________________ So basically Nah's on the lookout for someone to help train her, help her get back into the swing of things. As well as business contacts for her Gridanian shop, the same shop she and her dad(NPC) runs. The shop in question deals in sundry goods as well as some rare curiosities that Nah comes across in her adventuring. Perfect for if you want an IC dungeon run or a region wide hunt for X item. As for Nah herself, what with being a shopkeep more than adventurer in recent days, someone could mentor her in puglism! (since I can just borrow Nivie from my cousin if I wanted to play NIN)) It works too because then she can be that shopkeep that can bootshine the daylights out of a wannabe thief. Kurt on the other end of the spectrum's trying to pursue less violent practices, a spot of botany perhaps. Though the main vices here are WVR and CUL. He's also on the lookout for someone to help him with Thaumaturgy, I think Ququki's on top of it, just gotta set something up with her. BUT I'm not opposed to him having several mentors, at best he comes up with an amalgamation of styles, at worst he'll be sorely confused. This ties into his idea that maybe his (piss poor)aether is just like a muscle, he just has to start using it more and pushing the limits. And what better way than the class that advertises raw stopping power! Since, you know, a run in with an excess discharge of aether left him spasming in the middle of Quickie Sands! Anyway if you don't know how to approach either character. That's ocake, we can work something out. If you have an idea on how to approach them that's decadent ocake! I look forward to rping more again! *puts up the double digit views, no response sign* Oh right even, most EST evenings are fine with me up until like 12:30 midnight. And I think EST Fridays and Saturdays are good for me too!

A character concept you always wanted to try...
Kurt S. replied to LadyRochester's topic in RP Discussion
Actually I just cooked up two other concepts I wanna try out. Enter... Shitting Bull, Lord of the Tall Tales and Master of Embellishment, at yer service *cue standard roe voice laugh..the one that sounds like you're short of breath/dying due to lung failure* kind of like a Varric Tethras sort. And Dangereux Giruaffe, That ultra grizzled Elezen veteran guy, really old and grizzly but still fights like a bear. Lots of knowledge to impart at 7 and still crazy enough to fight a dragon at 8. -

No homo Aaron made probably the most cynical self centered attention seeking character I ever made swoon. He's probably a born cassa nova or really just knows how to push buttons that's...sort of a compliment right? -

Sooo while my desktop's busted I'll be unavailable til I get fix'd.

You mean arpee? Anyway /tell to win like everyone else said. At the very least they're aware of someone trying to enter the scene. Or probably politely decline you.

As a filipino myself, crap I don't feel the christmas magic. Anyway, I'll go wherever the family goes. That means lunch a relative's, dinner at a relative's. Go back home like 6am on the 26th with the rest of the relatives. It's all about the family and the food. It's the same damn thing for the past 18 or so years the repetition is maddening I just wanna curl up and sleeeeeepppp Santa came by early today, you know what he got me? Fat. I'm gonna be fat at the end of this day. @u@-b As a silly future person, hey at least I'm like 9 hours (as of this post) in Christmas and the world hasn't ended or anything.

Well, Kurt Steel, you've been a good kid this year. Santa has lots of good stuff for you this Christmas." Aww yeahhh he doesn't know :3

Roleplayer Uncertainty/Insecurity Theater
Kurt S. replied to Warren Castille's topic in Character Workshop
I get like that too at times. That "damn, I'll be interrupting" feeling. Some days, I just say screw it and stick my nose right in the middle of their crew. Oh sometimes I do that too. Fortune favors the bold because then you sort of realize that the worst that could happen is they brush you off as a whole and you're back to square one. @u@-b -
Roleplayer Uncertainty/Insecurity Theater
Kurt S. replied to Warren Castille's topic in Character Workshop
One more thing to add. Maybe it's just me but you see those people just sitting around, standing around. And you want to walk up to them but then you can't because their squad arrived. And then it makes you wonder if they actually ever had the time of the day for your random walk up if you moved earlier and before their squad arrived. Just me? Ocake :3 -
DIRECTION Kurt has none. He also has too many and it pulls him apart following each little flight of fancy. He's here, there, almost everywhere. There's a tug that needs answering in this area but then some knowledge would be found in this place. 'I have to get better at thaumaturgy. I can't just let everything lose its edge. There's good gil here in the North. There're more things in the south.' He finds it hard to commit to any one thing and tries to piece it all together. A cobbled work that pulls himself everywhere and nowhere.

Roleplayer Uncertainty/Insecurity Theater
Kurt S. replied to Warren Castille's topic in Character Workshop
Half the time I have absolutely no idea if I'm walking into a minefield, if I end up breaking some unspoken rule that involves roleplaying. And worse still, not knowing that I broke that rule to splinters, threw it out the window and set it on fire as well. It fuels a fuckton of anxiety whenever I try to approach people for rp. More to the point I know how much of a pancake I am and how inconsistent is an understatement about Kurt. I want this, no wait I want that. Took a step back, took a deep breath. Rewrote him to varying degrees. Like write > scrap > write again. I've settled on a nice little idea on how to clean him up. But wait, is he good enough? Can I present him well enough? All the changes under the hood? Hell would things go back to the way they were of 5min rl exchange before I get swept under the rug and out of someone's mind? Do I even present an interesting skillset? I guess that also comes with the 'I don't know what to do with him' package. Sure he's starting to take up Thaumaturgy and work on one of his handicaps. But how many people would be interested in a little adventure with him? How many would even want to go out there and do something? Then there's me. Am I writing well enough? It's not stale is it? This idea? Too much? Too little? Is it over what your character would do? Are you sure you just don't feel forced to tag along? I'm not overbearing? Am I talking too much? I'm probably talking too much. *Random character looks at me* Oh god they're judging me! Oh god they probably know how much a trainwreck Kurt is! Oh god they probably don't want to rp with me. Roleplayer-senpai notice meeeeeeee 3 I'm also afraid I'm blind to the people reaching out to me. Earnest attempts to get me involved with something and that I'm probably looking stupidly ungrateful. Do you like McDonald's? I like McDonald's. Can I have you number? Can I? Please? Have? Your number? Is there ice cream in the fridge? tl;dr Overthinking. -
Your RP is now a movie. What's your tagline and/or trailer?

First of all. Yes I am a pancake. Kurt's back. Also being tweaked here and there and generally being 'cleaned up' so to speak.

Kurt S. replied to Y'lani's topic in Off-Topic Discussion
Ahhhhh Steeeeeelllllllll Well she pulls off quite the seawolf and is all around a blast to rp with the few times I have rp'd with her. Ah but that's already been said. Also that really long name that sometimes can't be pronounced right on the first try makes for a nice little ice breaker if the character tries to speak it anyway. ouo-b -
Oh god boobs and soul. I just looooove loove love the combat and punishing people when I turtle up as a blade master. Though I will admit wearing the blue team uniform got me my ass handed to me a dozen or so times. Hopefully the Crimson Legion doesn't get full from the get go. I mean in the closed beta they kind of did just fill up so fast and then started camping the exit of the starting village. Dozens of people just waiting for fresh prey in blue to step out and drop the almighty on. Won't lie though I've seen 'RP' pop up in like region chat a fair dozen times running around farming the graveyard boss for his costume. Bloody what's his face. Before remembering there was a main story that needed doing Still though pvp rp and everyone flying around would look cool. And probably lag me to the seventh hell with all the lag spikes that may come with it.

...sounds like the start of the things! Milady Clio, I shall humbly accept, and will do what I can to aid the Lady Krist. Kurt. Yo. Poke me. I can help. I suck a bit at the second part of Alwx NM but I am willing to go. Alex 1 N is what I'm looking at since that drops two bolts. So double the chance :3
