I am so excited that we managed to get ahold of all the V:tM books that we thought were lost. This way we no longer have to rely on inconsistent online resources. Maybe we can find what is going in with lower generation vampire creation? I dunno. I still think it's more a matter of accumulated experience more than anything. It's just deciding how much experience to allocate for each additional generation.

I'uno, I'uno.

I feel like we ought to be posting in the Jacqueline Carey thread but I don't know what to say. And we need to get a banner put together for that. Maybe if we have it in our signatures more people would find out about the thread.

I am certain that is the case. Were you going to make the arrangements for that and I'll pay for it?

We have to decide what we want the banner to look like first. I'd like to have both a large and small banner. Perhaps the smaller bar banner like I have in my signature could be text only and the larger banner include a picture of Phèdre's margue and/or a Cassiline dagger?

I'm leaning toward Phèdre's marque for the picture. Can we get dagger or rose clipart for the smaller banner?

I left a question along with the order for the smaller banner in For-Chan's shop about using specific images in the larger banners.

Excellent. I look forward to hearing back from her. Any clue how much it might cost?

Small banners start at 75g, large at 150g.

Okay, so probably not much more than 300 :gold:. that is encouraging. Not exactly going to break the bank--not for me, anyway.

Still having trouble focusing on the RP? I am enjoying leafing through the books, but I have yet to find anything conclusive regarding lower generation character creation. Just limits on power based on generation. /shrug

I'm taking a look at the RP thread now. I, and William by extension (and probably Cardea too but she's out at the moment and left William and I alone), really feel that Abbadon was too direct in requesting information and offered nothing in return for William's efforts.

I will reread this section, but, if memory serves, he was fairly direct. I have yet to decide if this is out of character for Abbadon (judging from the Path I settled on, I'm not sure it would be), but I didn't think it would be a terrible problem seeing as how he has a (relatively) friendly history with William, as bullyboy and consultant for the Primogen council. I can rewrite it if you think it is necessary, but I don't think directness would be out of character or out of line for Abbadon.

It's too direct for me but I'm neither Cardea nor William, so. It's fine - I wouldn't have you rewrite it.

I think I'll be able to get the next turn written up.

Mmkay. I'm still getting to know William (seeing as how I know so little about him) but I had been wondering about whether you were projecting yourself onto him or if he was really that conservative--I wouldn't know; he's not my character and his personality profile wasn't terribly in-depth. You however, have some knowledge of about what Abbadon should be like. Minus derangements, now. XD

What do you mean about William? What vibe are you getting from him?

That's just it--I'm not really sure. The way you described him--and the way we started off--I imagined he would be a little less tight-lipped and a little less timid. More chummy and flamboyant. But that has not proven to be the case. I don't want to step out of line and tell you how to play your character, that's just the vibe I got when you were describing him to me at the beginning.

Hm. Well. Bah.

Bah to you, too. Way to contribute to the conversation. :P

I couldn't think of anything else!

I have a good start to the RP post but it's eluding me.

It is indeed a good start. I would suggest making conversation, but you have already made it clear that William wanted to talk to Abbadon about the content of the meeting anyway.

*murloc*

I need to focus. Why can't I focus?

I dunno. Really wish I did. <_< Seems like right now there is just too much else going on, even though you're normally complaining about how easily you get bored with the internet.

Here's a link to a French speakin' thread.

I think it's a mental thing. It's not that there's too much on the internet or too much going on IRL here in the living room but my brain is refusing to cooperate.

I think I'm going to print out the BSU reinstatement papers.

Edit:

Well, I thought I would but after re-reading them I don't feel I have a chance at being readmitted to BSU.

That thread is really cool. With the internet connection being like it is now, I'm probably not going to participate for a bit, but it really interests me. Perhaps I'll have an opportunity to practice soon. My written French has really suffered over the course of the past few years. T_T

I think you should still print them off and send them in. Just because you don't think they'll readmit you doesn't mean they won't. You can only know for certain if you send the forms in.

Yeah, but they'd want my transcript of failure from the community college and they want to know when/where you've worked since you left the school and what kind of "self improvement" you've done since then. I would have been really gung-ho about it if I had been able to do volunteer work or something.

Well, maybe you need to delay your reinstatement long enough for you to do a little volunteer work at the Library or something. I don't know. Do you think I need to put in my reinstatement, too?
