Roleplay

[Cyren]

From conversations with some folks on here, looks like some would like to get some roleplay going. If you know how to do this, ignore me

If you don't:

You can create new characters by registering with another email, then come on here and either roleplay anonymously or arrange story lines with other players through private message or email or such like that. If you're having trouble with this, Slohand has been amazing with helping people debug problems with character creation and uploading Avatar pictures. Feel free to take advantage of this Submit problems you're having through the trouble ticket system. You can post a backstory in the character's Journal. You can open a storyline and see if anyone wants to play. You can stay serious or go comedy, stay in complete character or go anachronistic and silly. If you want any help with anything, feel free to send me a private message or email at recidiva@cfl.rr.com.

This was one of the most fun things about the old 'cano, the roleplay that you could start and other people would just jump in.

PLEASE feel free to jump in, anyone that's here roleplaying probably wants to see what fun stuff can happen when they throw out some bait and someone either nibbles or grabs the thing and yanks you underwater.

You can plan stuff, and stuff can just happen spontaneously. Tangents are the name of the game here. You can use the forums or the volcano when it is open, but this for me and for a bunch of others, is the fun of the place. We used to use the note boards, everywhere, for roleplay. The more, the merrier.

JoeCamel explained it once. He'd make up a ton of characters just for fun, once going to the trouble to make a character that looked like one of Shaman's just to see if I'd fall for it. I waxed his chest and told him that when the blisters healed, if they didn't fester or burst, he'd look good.

Cyren: WHY does this kinda stuff happen to me?
JC: Don't you know why, Cy?
C: No...
JC: Don't you see it?
C: What?
JC: That look about you that says...please harass me.
Oh Cyren dear?
C: Yes, Joe, darling?
JC: Ask me to marry you and I'll wax your butt.
C: Will you marry me?

Later JoeCamel needed a virgin for some sort of ritual..it was hazy. Of course I went and made "Virgin"

Virgin: Umm...the agency sent me.
Yes, I have the papers right here..young virgin to be used for the purpose of...(face goes pale) Is this LEGAL???
JC: Virgin, if you don't come with me, I will NEVER fight with you again.

Or a post fun thingy:

Cyren: "living here in this brand new world might be a fantasy, but it's taught me to love, so it's real to me" Dorothy, "The Wiz"

A friend of mine went to go make a character to answer (thank you Kevin)

Dorothy: Dearest Antie Em: Hate you. Hate Kansas. Taking the dog. - Dorothy.

So I went and made an Auntie Em...voila, post fun.

Or roleplay where nobody knows what the hell is going on but is having a blast. I was going to be FrostBite, the daughter of KnightMare and DaiSho. Shalimar was the cleric giving birth (I didn't know this until months later when she and I were talking and this roleplay came up) My husband at the time, Shaman, knew of the roleplay and came to steal the baby as someone or other, I don't think anyone other than me or KnightMare who put the thing together, knew who anyone else was.

Shaman: Note the trembling lip...the birthmark on her tush...note the eyes...note the resemblance to Bourne...cut the baloney and give me my child...
Praeline: Honey, we don't care if you have a map of downtown Cleveland on your ass. the baby isn't yours.

JC was right. Folks here wanna be harassed. So harass!

Dive right in!

Have Fun!

Cyren

All I gotta say is... Yup...

Good post Cyren, I think it would be great if more people participated in role playing. I know I'm enjoying it even though I'm not all that good at it.

I find myself impressed with the level of writing of some people on this board, I'm sure some of them must be professional writers! Or at least, should be.

There's nothing quite like an interactive story that lives and breathes by the contribution of many unique individuals.

 

[LadyChina]

Agreed. What we need are some people willing to be animals. NO! Not like that... I occassionaly turned myself into a parrot in order to sit on a favored shoulder. I myself would enjoy a dog looking at me adoringly and licking my hand with a big wet warm sloppy tongue. Or a cat to wind itself around my legs and leave dead birds on the sword swamp tavern steps. Whats my point?

You don't need to be a wordsmith in order to roleplay. Somebody that wants to participate yet doesn't have the gift of gab could make an alternate character named "The Rock", and then just go in to random taverns and sit in a busy pathway. Oh think how much fun others would have tripping over him, finding the hard place in order to stand between it and "The Rock".

I would love to have a zombie shamble its way from a village graveyard, though the tavern, called by the lure of the now infamous red thong of Tater. (Oh, yes, its THAT powerful).

All you'd have to do was to make it clear you were dead by <Stinking and rotting, not breathing> and then say "mmmmm TATER....mmmmmm TATER." <shambles nearer>

Gosh, I feel lots of tangents coming on. HEY, somebody could be a tangent! And everybody that saw the tangent could suddenly stop what they were doing and do something totally different, for no other reason than their exposure to a tangent.

STOP ME.

 

[Cyren]

No! No! No Stopping!

'cause this morning I wasn't laughing, but now I'm wandering around the kitchen thinking

"mmmmm TATER....mmmmmm TATER."

and I can't stop giggling. I even read this post to spellcheck it and I started giggling again.

I love this place, always have. I get crabby when people STOP though.

Tiger, your cartoon has been on my desktop since you posted it.

ShoeHorn, I love your posts!

Lady China knows I worship the paragraphs she walks on.

I copy and post half the threads into my journal. I'm sick. I need help. I need handouts.

See, I'm just a total wuss. No, really, you can check, there are witnesses. Quite a few of them are here, but I keep on coming back, now don't I? Just a poor little helpless creature at the whims of everyone else's wit.

Must...have...words....must...

"mmmmmmm...WORDS."

Just consider me the word zombie. Must...eat...brains... Okay, maybe that doesn't sound so good.

FEED ME, TANGENT.

Feed the poor compulsive writers like me. We can't help it. It's like drugs. "Oh yeah, score me a catchphrase. Gimme an analogy, honey, just a little analogy, ohhhh yeaaaaah." It's too late for us, but you can do a good deed and keep us from breaking into other people's houses and making them speak in iambic pentameter at gunpoint. Then raiding their fridge.

We can't do it alone, people! We must huddle for warmth! And...and...well, do other stuff, but I'd lose the whole wuss argument if I went there. Oh well, I probably lost it comparing words to drugs, crime and sex. Oh well, losing the high ground can be fun.

Now I'm giggling again. *hangs her head*

I'm sorry. Bad writer. BAD.

But really. Only YOU can prevent violent literary crime.

Or start it.

 

[Tiger]

What did that Cleric do to you Cyren?

 

[ShoeHorn]

Agreed. What we need are some people willing to be animals.

lol, well I'm sure it can't be all that fun being a simple animal! Although, I did have one friend of mine play 'Shadow' once (a dog that a character of mine - Selfless - used to bring around to the taverns). It was pretty cute but I can't see it being a lasting thing.

The zombies thing sounds intriguing though.. playing some evil creatures could be fun, so long as someone didn't just simply slay them on the spot and end their role playing prematurely. I played my evil counterpart 'HornyShoe' (yah yah I know, lol) a few times back in the old days.. he was eventually cast into the fires of hell for bad behavior

 

[Cyren]

He didn't say. Cyren's not all that bright at times. Especially when she's been unconscious for about 3 days. I'd have to say, probably anything he wants at this point. She's probably not going to be in a good mood when she wakes up. If she wakes up.

He's probably too busy laughing still to come up with anything worse he could do to her than what just happened, y'think? He might even just feel sorry for her, that was sooooo easy. She might switch sides at this point, she's a practical lady. A few plot devices, and it's possible when she wakes up she might not be herself anymore. If she wakes up. Maybe she's allergic to whatever went in that drink. Maybe Priory had a few spells ready.

She might start putting fun stuff in people's drinks. Who knows? Maybe she's Cyren's Ghost? WoooOOOOooohhhh.

The "Evil Bastard" threads can make people jump back and not touch them, so that's just a risk you take, I guess. He genuinely scares her, though, and that's something.

That's the fun of roleplay, though. I couldn't have predicted that at the beginning of the day

"What did I do with a Drunken Cyren, what did I do with a Drunken Cyren, what did I do with a Drunken Cyren, ear-lie in the morning"

Taking requests. If they're really vile, send them via private message

 

[Tiger]

Wow... Cyren, that was WAY to anilitical.... :roll:

 

[Cyren]

*giggles* Tiger, you have no imagination, and you spelled analytical wrong! Go back to your drink!

 

[Tiger]

Damnit... <smakes Spell>

 

[Priory]

Yeah, Tiger, what did you put in that drink anyway. Professional curiosity. Thumbs up!

 

[Tiger]

Thumbs... Up....? Up wha... Nevermind.... Uhm... It was stuff.... Got it from some shadowy figure in the corner of the tavern... He smelled of vomit...

 

[Navic]

<walks out from the shadows to vomit in Tigers hood> Yak! :wink:

 

[Tater]

wwalks in

**walks in twirling a red thong on his short stubby little finger**


"hey Tiger you forgot to take these, and no starch this time! took me a week to get over the rash." Walks back out scratching a nake cheek toward Misty Hollow

 

[Tiger]

......

 

[Trephine]

Trephine snatches the thong out of the air out of reflex and then stares at it dumbly in her hand. This was unexpected.

She looks up and says "Please don't tell me this means I'm the next one to get married."

She wonders how much money she can get for it.

 

[Tater]

Res

**The Door burst Open and through the Tavern joust a short nondescript Dwarf with a riding cloak on and that only. Racing through as quick as his two lil legs will carry, he runs past Trephine snatches his Thong and disapears out the back door with only a yell**

"Sorry cant stay cant wait gotta go gotta get back to MH There a convention supposed to take place Yserbius home for the Elderly Womens Auxillary is going to be there. and I plan on being the entertainment"
