Oh, yes! More than reasonable, I'd say. After all the pictures we've been seeing from the rest of the coast, we're really blessed! We're praying for the less fortunate (no small number, especially in Haiti who was already suffering due to a cholera outbreak). =)
I may have mentioned recently that I don't take good health for granted? Well, this is part of that good health. Hurricane Matthew didn't put me or anyone I know in the hospital. =)
Thanks for the warm wishes and sunshine, everyone! May you be equally fortunate when hard times come your way. =)

@Wolf Rawrrr I've (finally) posted in Nivirea's prologue. Is there anything Leonard wants to say or do at this point in the story? Of course, he is a wolf right now. He can say whatever he wants in the language of animals if he wanted to and only a few people in the party could tell what he was saying. I'm suddenly glad Leonard is not one of those highly-mischievous ranger-types. =)
@Captain Hesperus Does our favorite half-elf in the Wayfaring Wanderers have anything to say or do at this point? Wait. The only half-elf in the Wayfaring Wanderers? Wait again. When Otiorin casts Mirror Image, does that increase the number of half-elves in the party? Even if for only a little while? =)

Of course I'm not done! Sheesh. I've yet to shed all over Luna's clothes *rawrrr*
That should keep everyone off my territory until I return.

Otiorin'a got nothing substantive to add currently. Also I'm in Salt Lake City, en route to Atlanta, so more internet patchiness to follow.

@Sherwood Okies... I haz to ask... Hey! =)
Wait... that's not quite enthusiastic enough. HEY! =)
Wolf wrote this last Monday! "[COLOR= rgb(152, 157, 160)]Wolf observed Ranthorn for a while longer, then walked over to Luna while everyone else seemed to be deliberating the spoils of the battle they had missed. He looked up, fixing her with an excited, adorable gaze before proceeding to impatiently rub his muzzle against her lower robes. He wouldn't say anything, but his body language was all demand and no question.[/COLOR] "
Thanks to that post, I've had a picture similar to this stuck in my head since last Monday!
Just how long is Luna going to wait before doing something here?! I can't stare at that face without wanting to give him some attention! Az your Dungeon Master, I herebys demands actions! =) Especially given that Leonard appears to be soon parting company with the Wayfaring Wanderers so that his player can play his Sorceress! =)

"Oh, I just can't stand it anymore!"
Bria burst out from the bushes. Arms outstretched, she ran over to Wolf, and scratched his belly, neck, and ears until his tail wagged. "You look so adorable, it's unbearable!"
Glider frantically beckoned to Bria from the edge of the wood. "Oh my stars! Bria-honey, we're not supposed to be here!"
"I know, I know!"
That did not stop the brown-haired Healer from giving Otiorin a quick hug and kiss on the cheek before she and Glider disappeared Into the woods.
(Hee hee!)

For some reason, Luna is not talking to me right now. I'm trying to get into her head for a good post, but its just not coming to me.

Maybe read about her? Read through her character sheet and history? Ask yourself what inspired you to create her in the first place? Questions like that plus music tend to help me find that character again. Good luck.
Purr

Going a little further here, why do you like playing Luna? What are some of the decisions and opinions that she's had make you enjoy role-playing her? What are her goals? What is she thinking about in the current scene?
Again, good luck.
Again, good luck.

You know, Dann, what you said to Sherwood reminds me of something...
Looking back, I never much cared for taking things apart and analyzing them. I remember back in elementary school, in my Croatian classes, when we used to read and contemplate on poetry or a piece of prose. Someone(s) would read it aloud, then we'd all get the same set of questions to write down the answers to. Stuff like theme, feeling, moral, perhaps a few specific questions on the personality of the characters involved, etc. I don't know how exactly elementary looks like in the U.S. but it can't be that different.
Anyhow, I was always pretty good at it. And I mean pretty damn good. For a 7-8-9-year old. I didn't understand how some kids could struggle with the same problems that seemed to solve themselves for me in my head. And for some reason, I've had this anti-analysis feeling in me... Like I just didn't appreciate the whole process of slowly disassembling things for analysis, when I could read the material once or twice, space out for a while, then set my pen to paper and answer everything without actually bothering to go through the same steps that everyone else did. It seemed to me like you were either supposed to get it at once, or get out!
Of course, later on I learned that you can't always rely on stuff simply clicking together without you giving it much thought. Sometimes it's too complex. Sometimes talent isn't enough. But even so, it can take a long time for things to come together and reveal themselves to you if all you're doing to summon them is sitting around and waiting. You'd do well to take a few steps towards them at least.
Even if it is just re-reading your old writing and listening to a fitting soundtrack *woof*

Well put, Wolf!
I agree that some people are going to be better at quickly grasping an answer, while others have to use processes like the aforementioned to get to the same point, but I find it's important to have both means at your disposal (if you're lucky to be the former type of person). For me, it's a difference in focus. If all I want is an answer and I can just reach out and get it, then bang! Hey! I've got it, now let's move on to what's next. However, if instead I'm looking for a way of thinking or method of formulating, I can forego the answer and look closely at the process of how to reach that answer, and in doing so, think a little differently (scientifically, perhaps) as a result.
This happens too in the martial arts, where, say, someone has learned a simple block, or what they think is only a certain type of block. They practice that block over and over again and never think beyond that (they have the "answer"). But for many, there comes a point especially when you are finding out who you are as a martial artist, where you find yourself thinking about the mechanics of that block , each of the steps that build up the technique (the process). And in doing so, you might come away not only with the block that you were taught, but hey! What's this? You mean this block can be a strike too? And something in you says, "Sure! Why not?" Or, if I perform that same technique just a little differently, it can become a disarm, grab, or maybe turn a joint lock or throw. I realize that this new path is only limited by my imagination and physical limitations (physics), but in order to get there, I think it is best to know both process and answer so that eventually I come away with not one but many different answers, all of which suit me as an individual.
It's along that path that I grow! =)

We do this too. To me it sometimes seemed like we lost track of the story itself if we spent too much time questioning it, but then sometimes we learned more about it that way, when another student brought up something I hadn't even noticed. Mostly I just wanted to get back to reading another story though.
Hey Wolf? Your last post is stretching off my screen. Is there something in the coding that does that or is it a bug I need to add to our list?

N-no!
And no, I didn't put anything special. I did the same I do every time: I open the spoiler of my previous post, copy everything, and paste into the reply box for my new one (if I copy with spoiler tag closed, it results in a glitched spoiler once the new post is made).
If something about that stretched it, it ought to have happened before, as well. I should say that I don't see this stretching for some reason. But I do have a 23'' screen, so it's hard to stretch lol.

Here's what it looks like to me:
Fortunately it also gives me a horizontal scrollbar so I can read it all.
I'll file it under bugs and we'll see what can be done about it.

We found what caused the stretch and fixed it, but so far "what" hasn't led to "why." Like you said, it should be happening to all of them or none of them! Still investigating. After you copy/paste, do you finish your post in Source mode or do you go back to the normal editor?

For anyone that likes archery or woodworking: http://imgur.com/gallery/oiCtH The .gifs make me realize just how much work goes into making things like that. (If you're wondering, the words between them are lyrics to a couple songs from Disney's animated Robin Hood movie. Great film.)

I paste it into the normal editor and post using the normal editor. A bit lazy to do the copy/paste while switching modes, mainly because I'd have to open the post for editing first, copy, then close - while normally I just copy off the screen.
If I did it "properly" it would work flawlessly I bet, and I'd have done so if I could see the errors myself. Dunno why I couldn't.
I thought I'd be thankful for the HTML update, but I'm somehow really not. Even as someone who used to do a bit of web design, and writing all my code by hand at that, I can say that for forum posting I prefer BB codes. Which were, by the way, invented as an upgrade to replace HTML on forums, since it's simpler and faster while restricting potentially harmful HTML uses - so overall better. RPN has thus taken a step back, or downgraded, no matter what the Staff says about it. There are reasons, I know, but what's true is true.
The place has moved a long way from what I truly loved in the last four years, then taken some steps back towards it, then moved away again... I just hope that it's not the design/functionality changes to the site that get me to give up on it eventually. Because as much as I am using it right now, I could just as well be doing this with the same small group of people on another platform. There's very little left here that's actually making me stay. Mostly habit, nowadays.
Ugh. What I meant to type was the first few sentences. Never mind *woof*
