"I've got longer stories, I can come back to life in perfect health, and I think I've got enough saved up to drink us both under the table. You're on."

Fine. It's not like this is canon anyways.

In the purely theoretical scenario that I am noticed and that someone finds me attractive and that I somehow manage to find the courage to talk to her and she is still interested in knowing more about me after I open my mouth and that I don't chicken out...

I'd like to have a nice, quiet dinner with my theoretical date. No restaurants— I don't have the money for that. Instead, I'd cook something for her and we'd share supper. Something home-made and personal. It's nicer that way, isn't it? Something that I would make with my hands and offer to someone. Afterwards, if she'd be up for it, I'd like to take her for a walk in the evening. I know a wonderful part of my home city that is by the water and it's so very nice at sunset. We'd walk until the sun goes down and then some and then I'd drive her back to wherever she lives and end the evening like that. Maybe she'd like to watch a movie— I'd be okay with that. I would like to imagine myself open to suggestions on what she wants to do too— after all, a relationship is a two-way street, right?

It's stupid, it's delusional, it's massively cliché, it's probably not how this works in real life. I've only got books and TV shows to work out how this business works— heck, the nicest thing that has ever been said to me in a romantic context goes along the lines that I'll have to bioengineer a new species because nobody in their right mind would want to live their life with me.

But one can hope. And heaven knows that hope is a terrible thing.

Sooo...a bit less sane than you'd rather, but a little bit more than you'd expect? :)

And to Wobbles--actually to both of you: we should all hang out sometime! Or separately, whatever works; I know some partners like to get a break from each other. Let me know!

I blame a number of years of medical school and the ability to correctly identify pharmaceuticals. Admittedly there were a few I was shaky on, hence my score, but I think I did pretty well.

Questions are again open to my two planned agents, Officer Larkus Grun of the CSF and former Adventurer's Guild Journeyman Turff-Croft, a.k.a. Curff.

Can you describe your idea of the perfect date?

"Two daggers. Hm. They seem... fairly magical." Evard tossed them from limb to limb, juggling the daggers rather well for someone who wasn't terribly experienced at fighting on dry land. "Though that might just be the One and Two inscribed on the blades. A shame there wasn't another. Now I just need some equipment - my own weapon oils will only stretch so far, for one."

Evard padded off, oddly silent on the stone floor save for the occasional schlup as her suckers kept her upright. Her plan was to search through the rest of the racks and find some armour made for tako, or at least something a bit nicer than her rather dowdy travelling clothes.

Wobbles: "Yeah!"

The Notary: "I live with the most colourful human in Headquarters, McKenna. Take a wild guess."

"If you want to, sure! Just remember three things: I've got long stories, I've got nanotech internal organs, and you've got the bill. See you there""

Or my prescription drugs. Either will do.

I agree that pretty much everything about Orwell's appearance in our midst is pretty suspect, but I'm getting a little uncomfortable with you and Scape slapping down everything they say no matter how (un)reasonable, too. They could be lying about everything and plotting some sadistic long con, yes, but until such time as that is revealed, I'd prefer that we as a community err on the side of not being jerks. May I suggest simply keeping an eye on them? Believe me, I am. (And what's more Big Brother-ish than that, amirite?) The worst-case scenario is that they disappoint us down the line, at which point they'll most likely get banned pretty darn quick. In the meantime, as long as they're acting friendly, it doesn't hurt anybody to give them a chance to prove they're sincere, does it?

I mean, if anybody knows something I don't, feel free to correct me, but all I've got to go on right now is what's here on the Board. To me, while that's certainly enough to merit serious eyebrow-raising, it doesn't warrant blackballing them so aggressively.

Virro begins to search the room for a ranged weapon of some sort, preferably a bow, while saying, "I believe we should be wary of staying here too long. This room and its resources may be setting us up for some kind of trap."

((But Kali doesn't have a Sling yet))

((For Round 3 onwards please follow the instruction at the bottom of Round 2. I'm not trying to stop you RPing with your characters, I'd just like the actions to be where I'm looking for them))

Do not fall for the troll pretending to be courteous and helpful.

Do not listen to the troll and it will go away.

((Although you could try and create armour out of weapons, it made need a few difficult dice rolls and may be a bit uncomfortable, and may poke you from time to time, but it could happen. :p I know what you mean. Although, specifying what type of armour you are searching for may be a good idea, otherwise it'll be random and could be a piece of Plate Armour that you can't wear or something like that. EDIT: Just noticed you said 'that you can wear' in your other post. So don't worry about the above for now.))

"The map appears to be correct, my fellow adventurers," she announces to the room. "I can hear voices behind one of the doors marked on the map, but I cannot say which, or what the voices may be saying." She considered the room they were in, and decided that her sling alone would not be enough; she wanted a bit of armor.

[Kali searches for armor she can wear. "Come get yer armor!"]

((-Alleb))

Thing that are trolling, according to you: actual trolling, opinions you don't like from anonymous sources, and now apparently actual helpful information from a non-anonymous source who you just don't like.

Hey! How's it going? Still mostly sane? :)

Would you be interested some day in meeting with me and my partner? We have read a little of your home world, and believe there are some similarities to be found between us--in particular, a love of music. We would be most pleased to have the chance to trade songs and musical techniques with you.

Yours in sincerity,

Gurnirel of Gondol Arda RC 1500
