So, Nat really is a good girl. And she does have character. I'm just pushing myself to new limits by trying to write a girly girl...I've never really done one of those before.

So, I replied. :)

I like the redesign! I wouldn't say it says "girly-girl" to me, though... it's the graveyard setting that does it! Maybe I'll get rid of the wolverine hair that I've inexplicably chosen for my avatar... although I don't think orange scrubs are necessarily going to go with a tough-guy look...

[/COLOR]It's funny to me that this flagrantly public setting can be cordoned off as "Private talk". Also, I don't know if you had to re-send it or not, but I received your reply this time! *goes read*

Lol, it doesn't say girly girl too much to me either. I'll get rid of the graveyard background in a second, I suppose, then maybe add in more jewelry.

I sent it again to your e-mail. Hopefully it'll go through this time. If not, we might have to start a thread on here.

The fan and the shoes do it... hey, I kind of like the juxtaposition, don't change it on my account!

Lol, maybe Leo's dragged her off to a graveyard. I think that's what I was thinking yesterday.

Sounds promising... haha, that's her in way over her head, then. That's the feeling I got from the combination of a feather fan, pink shoes and a graveyard! I've sent you one back.

She's in waaaay over her head, and she knows it. All she can think of is being a statistic on a police report.

Posted. She's going to be quite a hostage in his care, lol.

I'm working on a reply now.

... and there you go!

Okay, replied.

Done, and done. I'm still figuring out what Leo'd probably do next... any objection to him manhandling her into his car and hightailing it? I imagine he'd hang around keeping her quiet for a few days, and then find there's heat out about her disappearance and realise he's got attached to her. How does that sound as a plan?

Sounds good. She's not going to go quietly though. XD There will probably be a few fruitless escape attempts on her part.

I wouldn't have her any other way. xD

She's a fiery redhead. XD I replied. I swear, she's in trouble but that's not going to stop her.

I'm replying now... her excuse for not coming out is beyond excellent! Incidentally, you don't have to put direct speech in bold- I'll spot it, I promise.

I know, she's great. XD "Ummm...earring! I lost an earring! Yeah, that's it..." And okay, I won't put speech in bold. It's a habit I picked up because some people have trouble figuring out where the actual speech is.

Forums are dreadful for people deciding upon wacky formatting laws. I just fell into the habit of writing as though it was a collaborative-novel format... otherwise you get all this stars, italics, actions, all that nonsense. You format however you like, obviously; I just wanted you to know not to bother on my account. I dropped you a reply, btw.

I'm still trying to decide what Leo's real name is. It's going to be something really absurd and incongruous... like 'Arthur' or 'Cecil'. (I jest. A bit.)

I'm at work now, so once the early crowd comes in I might have to stop posting on here. However, do still keep an eye on your email- I'll be able to reply from my 'phone without getting the mick taken out of me. xD

Yes, something that doesn't quite match a murderer. That's too good to pass up. Poor big tough Leo with a name that's frilly.

And okay. ^_^ I'll keep an eye on my e-mail so that I can keep replying. Now I just have to figure out what Natalie is going to do besides think that she's going to die.

Give me a heads-up if you think of any suitably frilly names.

Hmm...I was thinking Gregory or something knight sounding. Which he isn't.

Replied. I really like Natalie.

Hey, 'Gregory' has a nice ring... regal. I like it. I also kind of fancy something biblical... not biblical like "Mark" or "Luke", biblical like "Saul" or "Benjamin". Nice and heretical. xD

Sent you a post. *lazing around at work*

I liked Gregory too. XD It seemed like a good guy's name that was also a little evil sounding. Heretical indeed. XD

Replied. I think Nat is just going to end up getting herself into a heap of trouble.

Replied... I think I went on about the car a bit too much. Indulging my fantasy to one day have that car, humour me... I'll try not to go on about it!

Ha, you're humored. Actually, I think it was perfectly fine. I wish I had a nice car like that, but perhaps minus that paint job and the bullet hole. Replied.

I figured I can't paint even a fantasy car cherry red if it's being using for killing folk... cool as that would be. I always imagine that a mafioso would have a saloon of some kind... something with a bit of boot space, haha!

I haven't had a post from you since the car one. Sorry to ask you to repost after all this time! I got busy at work at about three am, and then once I got home I was asleep until, well, now.

One more semi-related question: do you know how I can change the default format of my posts? I assume it can be done, since even the quick-reply box has an option for "remove text formatting".
This font's needlessly big and plain. It offends me. xD

A cherry red car would be quite awesome - and impressive to Natalie - but certainly not practical. XD

I forwarded it again. Though I do wonder if it's the beta that keeps messing up....it certainly does other buggy things, so why not losing e-mails? That's quite annoying, however.

Ah, if you actually click reply instead of quick reply, then click on format, you can change the font. XD It used to be easier in the former yahoo mails, before they decided to pretty much complicate everything. And voila, you can get rid of the offensive font!
