Genjiomnom oh ye i saw that, buuut i'm a mobile nerd and it doesn't work for me. just "[ IMG ]" under each catagory. heheh.

 

[Genjiomnom]

OK, what kind of apartment do you want? Studio, single, family? No penthouses open.

 

[Quillicious]

i would enjoy a studio apartment, sir/ma'am.

Every time I write a post it feels like someone else has posted and I'm like, did they tag me?? Do I need to edit my post??
anyway, I hope this one is good enough.

I'm a pretty lady

OK, those are on the third floor, with a T shaped hallway. 8 and 10 are open, along the back wall, at the top of the T. Those are the only two open ones. Personally, you should take 8. It's almost as close to Sasha's as 7, and she's a weird one, and will have many experiments set up in the hallway. She's going to be working on an inter-dimensional portal soon Or 10 if you want to be on the right side of the floor, away from Sasha My other character, Tobias, is in 9, so you'll be near him either way

Haha Magical Squid Senpai That happened with me and Profoundcactus literally a few minutes ago XD Luckily it was an easy fix You'd not doing too bad Don't worry, if you ever do a shit post, I'll let you know XD Just make sure to let me know too Though I'm less likely to edit it, and more likely to discuss it here instead, since editing breaks my code .

Although I feel like almost all my posts are at least one type of shit.

They are a little short, and can lack on descriptions a little, but, luckily the personality is developed enough that it's not hard to fill in the descriptions with your imagination. Though being vague can leave room for imagination sometimes, like in Tobias' case, I described his cane as wooden and simple. I didn't detail the carvings or if there's a rubber stop at the end for traction, or the handle type, that's all up to you to imagine But adding in things like the cane, and the newspaper under his arm can add extra things for other characters to notice, and even interact with.

If any of that makes sense? I'm no expert, so this is just personal opinion XD

It makes a lot of sense. Sometimes I know I should explain things a heck of a lot more than I do but. Idk. I feel like if I do it would be too long or annoying.

 

[Genjiomnom]

Haha, yeah, don't need to describe the individual pores in someone's nose as it crinkles, noting the individual creases as time goes by. But try adding short descriptions for more things. Like a short description of how the crowbar feels in your hands, or a short description of the design of the stool, like I did earlier. Then add in some descriptions of your thoughts, maybe your body's motion through a conversation. Not every little thing, just one or two things for multiple stuff. Then you have a lot to describe, but you're not over-describing anything.

At least that's how I try to do it. I struggled a bit with that, and I think I still do, trying to figure out the level of description to add for each thing, or what even needs descriptions. Like when Sasha fell from the stool. I described that her back hit the wall, preventing her from falling, but I didn't describe her hand motions, or whatnot, I left that for others to imagine. Similarly with Tobias' cane, I left the general shape and look for others to imagine. All they know is it's wood, and it's a simple design.

But again, I may not even know what I'm talking about. When I read detailed descriptions in a really good book, they can describe a single insignificant rock on a beach, and I feel like I've learned how to be a grown up. That's a level I'd love to be on one day, but I'm not there yet XD

Well, you are doing pretty dang good.
And thanks again.

 

[Genjiomnom]

Thanks, I try really hard I often type things up, read it in the preview, then rewrite or move things around. I also try to keep things I've struggled with in the past, like keeping things all in the same tense, and being the right amount of descriptive for things.

I also find describing lots of things just a little bit helps to makes posts longer, without seeming too clogged. But again, then I see a really skilled writer, and I pretty much pee my pants from their greatness. I've only RP'd with two people who were leagues ahead of me like that, and it's harsh, I felt so inadequate D:

 

[Genjiomnom]

Magical Squid Senpai Here's a description of Sasha's room that I wrote up a while ago. Nothing's really changed, so just in case you want to know, I'll post here to avoid making my post way too long XD Totally copy pastad this by the way

So as per the layout, the kitchen is to the right when you walk in. The bathroom would be to the left, with her closet to the left just past that. Everything else is open space.

When you walk in, the back right corner would look almost like a floor to ceiling bookshelf of computer servers. Probably around 30-ish. To the right wall, near those servers, would be a computer desk, a simple, cheap metal one. Mounted on the walls would be two rows of four computer screens, each varying slightly in size. Even further right is the kitchen, which, oddly, is completely clutter free. The sink is empty, the drying rack is empty, everything is stored and kept away, and the space is completely open.

The back left corner would include a single yellow blanket, most likely tossed aside as if someone got out of bed, but never bothered to fix it. At the foot of the blanket, so closer to the door, would be a massive statue, which many might think is for decoration, but it's really for science. It's made of polished obsidian, it's even hard to look at, it makes it feel like you're going cross-eyed when you stare directly at it. It has an abnormal, human-ish shape, more like a short and pudgy dwarf.

The closet wouldn't have a door, Sasha got rid of that a long time ago It's full of stacked machinery, none of it would make any sense to anyone though. Lots of wires run back and forth across across the room, connecting the computer servers and machinery. There are other various things lying around, general house stuff. Brooms and vacuums, cleaning supplies would be laying about in random areas. Large stacks of books, paper, notebooks and such would litter most of the rest of the available area.

Of course, everything looks like a mess, but you wouldn't be able to find a single speck of dust or stain in the entire apartment. Everything is superbly clean and spotless.

And I think that's about all anyone really needs to know if they walk in? There's no bed, or couches, chairs or the like. If there's any questions or clarifications, I don't mind answering those too. I kinda feel like I've posted an RP post, this thing is so long

 

[Genjiomnom]

Profoundcactus Do you think, if Tobias said he had a trick to calm her down, Flor would let him touch her? I'm no pressure point expert, but I assume there's something that can do that, maybe in the shoulders?

 

[Profoundcactus]

Genjiomnom Honestly she probably wouldn't though if he's insisted then she wouldn't stop him

 

[Genjiomnom]

OK, I gotchya, after lonecoyote posts for Statton, I'll try to describe Tobias reaching over correctly, if I get it wrong, don't mind correcting me. I'm thinking something like, he says he knows a trick for calming down, reaches over, sees her tense maybe? Then pushes her pressure point, helping her to relax a little?

Now I'm not thinking full on chill mode, it won't cure the self hate stuff she has going on, but would likely lower stress levels and help her think a little more calmly and clearly. How's this sound?

 

[Profoundcactus]

That sounds pretty cool, like lower it for a moment time of thing. I actually think I know what your talking about, heard about pressure points affecting moods and stuff like that.

 

[Genjiomnom]

Yeah. It'll last for the conversation, maybe a little after. No idea how pressure points work, or if they can even be used in this way effectively, but fuck it. XD

 

[spookie]

all of a sudden i have like a thousand notifications for this???

huh. well, i should probably post soon.

 

[Genjiomnom]

You have to post a thousand times though. So get to work. Chop chop.
