[iC Story] I DEMAND A REMATCH! THURSDAY, 17 DECEMBER 2015 It wasn’t the slight pounding in her head that made Nefzen wish she had stayed in the blessed comfort of unconsciousness. No, it was the sudden queasiness that assaulted her as she rolled over on the bed. “Ugg… Note to self: no greasy food before a drinking challenge… No matter how tasty it might be.” And twelve’s damnation those bacon wrapped dates (sprinkled with salted ground almonds!) had been just as amazing as Renee had told her weeks ago. Still, just thinking about food made her want fight back the nausea by hanging her head off the side of the bed. Once the grumbling in her stomach ceased Nef braved opening an eye. The last thing she remembered was stumbling of the the Fated Inn with Kanmir… right in front of her brother. After that everything was a blur. The room was unfamiliar, but that wasn’t saying much. She couldn’t remember what her rented room in Ul'dah looked like anyway. Still, definitely wasn’t someone’s home judging by the sparse furnishings. There was a chair in the corner with a crumpled blanket in it. Next to that was a small table upon which was a ceramic jug and a plate with a small towel over it. Next to that Nefzen could see a sheet of paper. She groan, shutting her eyes before pushing her still fully clothed self up off the bed. The jug contained water, the plate a few pastries, and the note was from her baby brother: "… blah blah… You passed out, brought you to my room at the quicksand… blah blah… Hope the hangover doesn’t suck too much…. blah blah.. I had a job to do before you work. -‘sae. “ She almost missed the bottom note that seemed hesitantly scrawled on: “Let me know what happened between you and Sana, so I know what I’m stepping into.” Ha! Fat chance for that, She thought as she nibbled on a pastry. Thought it made her wonder what made him ask. Try as she might, Nefzen couldn’t remember. What she DID remember was missing the last shot and nearly losing her dinner on the floor of the bar. Damnation! Kanmir won… but it as due to those bloody dates.. not that he actually out drunk her. Never that! They were most definitely going to have a rematch, preferably in the near future! Something else kept tugging on her mind. Something she had thought of before they started in on the shots. Something she wanted to ask him. What was it… Try as she might, Nefzen just couldn’t remember. ARG! I can’t sit here and keep trying to remember. I’ve got a job to do and I’ve wasted eno… Wait. That was it! Maybe Kanmir might know something about it. Or know who to ask at least. Someone in the bloody town knew something about that shipment and she would find them if it was the last thing she did. Granted, she’d rather the last thing she did was sample a good drink surrounded by friends, but that was totally beside the point. Nef shook her head. She had things to do. Time to get moving. Before heading out, Nefzen wrote on the back of the paper. She then gathered herself up and headed to her own room down the hall. Time to get cleaned up then on her way. After all, a ‘ghost’ shipment of explosives wasn’t going to find itself.

[iC STORY] CLOTHES SHOPPING SUCKS THURSDAY, 10 DECEMBER 2015 -Two Days Ago- If that bloody woman sticks me with that damn needle one more time I’m going to shove it in her eye. Nefzen’s thoughts turned murderious while the young seamstress busied herself about the tiny Miqote pinning seams here and there. Of course it didn’t help that Nef was being far from still. Every instinct she had was screaming for her to run far, far away. Even when she was a child she hated being sized for clothes. She felt trapped. Why the blazes am I doing this again? She asked herself, far from the first time and likely not the last. Oh, yeah. It’s for a job. With that thought she ground her teeth to dust and waited for the fussy woman to be done. -Today- The weight of the pouch of gil that Nefzen handed over to the tailor’s assistant was almost enough to make her cry. It was enough to buy a month’s worth… well let’s be realistic, a week’s worth of booze. Why anyone would pay this much just for a set of clothing they might only wear once was enough to make her want to drown her confusion in a Drunken Moogle special. It was all she could do to grin at the poor sop taking her money before tucking her pack of new clothing under her arm and make a run for the nearest bar. If I ever go clothes shopping again it will be too soon! The lead they had to the stolen shipment had better pan out because she didn’t want to have to suffer through a stuffy ball all night with nothing to show for it. Nymeia was far too fickle to let this bloody thing actually be fun. There wasn’t even free booze! But a job was a job and a stolen shipment of explosives was nothing to turn her back on. Before walking into the bar Nefzen glanced up at the sky. Hours still left to go. Plenty of time to stock up her reserves before the Black and White Ball started. She wanted to be sure her flask was filled and tucked away in her new boot before heading to the Ul'dah Chamber of Rule. ((OOC Note)) Posted Dec 10, 2015

So I get my wiki page all setup, have icons and screenshots and everything. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v704/Lethann/FFXIV/NefzinZhwan/FFXIV-Nefzen-Avatar-01.png[/img] Then I log in. Then I poke around the Market Board. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v704/Lethann/FFXIV/NefzinZhwan/2015-12-16_00004.png[/img] Hells Bells, the curse of a fashionista!

Every morning at 6:30 am I hear this as my alarm: 8N_tupPBtWQ

With the servers down for maintenance, if you can, get up and try to get on -before- schedule up time. Lots say that's the perfect time to squeeze in.

I've been trying hard to find a good song for Nef. Nothing seemed to fit. First was Immortals by Fall Out Boy However the rest of the song just doesn't fit well. Found Happy by Pharrell Williams. It fits.. but it's not ALL of Nef. American Author's Best Day Of My Life is what Nef wakes up to every day, but still it just didn't have everything in there. Then.. finally... yvvamodXZbw Yea.. that's perfect! She's happy, she drinks, she's loud, and does her own thing.

Welcome to the RPC! *waves* You mention you do forum rp... are you also looking for ingame rp as well?

*waves* Welcome to the RPC! Folks have already pointed out some of the best resources but don't forget the Character Workshop forum if you feel the need for more assistance.

*waves* Welcome to the RPC! I've got a tumblr as well so feel free to follow me. As well as doing some IC things I like to spread the word about RP events. If you're wanting to meet folks there is a lot coming up, especially the mixer "singles night" on Thursday.

Welcome to Eorzea and the RPC! I try to help folks out with lore so if you have any specific questions, lemme know! That said, I can link you to a few basic lore posts that should help you out: -Racial Lore Compilation -Eorzean Religion Lore Compilation (About halfway down there's a section on Thaumaturgy that's relevant to your Main's interests.) -Thaumaturgy and Black Mage Lore Compilation *waves* Welcome to the RPC! The above post has the best resources you could ask for to get started. The first thing I tell folks to start with is simply their racial lore. Don't worry about the other races, just the race of your character. From there then look at your job(s). At that point then sorta go into the general timeline because major things like the calamity are things that everyone knows about and it's a good point to get a starting point for your character's personal history. Ask "Where was my character when the Calamity happened?" If you have any other questions there is the "Character workshop" forum that's also a good place to get help and ask questions.

*waves* Howdy and welcome to the RPC!

Yea, our paths have been pretty crosswise and the last tavern I was having a blast with a couple of guys Nef met. We'll cross up sometime soon, maybe in the rogues hall, though with her looking for that shipment one of her contacts might point her towards yall for info. Dunno. I need to write up the story for it to actually get a better idea what I'm doing with this. Frankly it's mostly a hook to walk up to folks and say "Hey, I'm looking for any information on this".. of course i don't expect anyone to have anything but WHO KNOWS! Gonna work on that story tonight. Some of my best work comes from insomnia induced sleep deprivation.

Poking this again to see if there might be more interest in this. I've sorta started a plot about a stolen shipment of explosives and another one about two alchemists getting into a deadly competition for supply routes. Nothing too big, mostly just background talk and excuses why I have to suddenly leave RP when IRL calls. LOL!

OOo another south shroud keeper! Nef and her siblings are wandering around, though Nef is based out of Limsa, but typically just about everywhere. Honestly these two could have either been co-trouble makers or rivals, not sure. Different families and all. I'm still working on writing up her bio though it's all in my head. Lemme know if you're interested!

(( So is this open during specific hours or just whenever? Nef's always looking for a good tavern to experience!))

Sounds awesome! I'll be keeping an eye on it to add it to my calendar when you pick it back up again.

It will be resuming soon, hopefully. I was caught up in some other things, which were compounded by some Real Life busyness. Not a problem! I'm just looking for regular events I can get Nef involved in, make some new friends and whatnot.

is this still going on by chance? Nef's always looking for a good Tavern to drink in!

is this still going on?

Is this still going on?

Any update on this? Is it coming back?

Any chance this is still going on? Nef's always on the look out for bars to prowl!

*waves* Welcome to the RPC! I love that outfit!! Your character looks like a total blast. Hope we can cross paths sometime!
