You're overloading me, in the best way! Lol Typically I don't get so many great choices. I, don't know! Okay. Once again, I loved everything. We'll rule out dreamweaver, since you're already doing that one. I can see a lot of drama with your blind one, since his heart would never fully be in it per say. And I love making my characters hurt. I'm weird, I know. But I can really relate to the hurt, so it's easy to play.

Anyway, I still like the dragon as well. And your settings, ah! My brain is all over the place trying to fit my characters, too. Maybe we should pick a setting and a storyline, and then we can decide if we can use any of our old characters or if we should make new ones.

I liked your idea of the reversed world. I was also mulling over an idea, something futuristic bounty hunter style where one character (yours or mine, I'd like it either way) was a bounty hunter and the other a fugitive. They are able to travel into other dimensions, so technically they could find anything. Humans in one dimension, aliens in another, ogres, vampires n' werewolves, machines, etc. So the possibilities are really endless.

The fugitive will have gotten ahold of information showing that the government is planning to take over the other dimensions. The hunter is eventually shown and they join forces, becoming the most wanted fugitives in all dimensions and have to stop the take-over from happening, but they can't. So then there's this like huge apocalyptic war where the dimensions tear and everyone ends up in one dimension, but there's this huge black hole and they don't have long to stop the war and repair the dimension balance before everything is totally sucked in.

Or, just a simple bounty hunter story where they both become fugitives and cause a lot of trouble. That first idea really just started with the dimension things and my imagination just now took it a little far. Sorry about that.

I do adore anything apocalypse-like. Anything vampire related. And I also really like mysteries. Like mystery murder or I was just telling someone earlier I've been in the mood for something like "I Know What You Did Last Summer" or something along those lines. I even thought about some kind of treasure hunters who run into pirates or one is a pirate and the other a treasure hunter.

Or a small group of modern day treasure hunters who get lost and find an abandoned cruise ship in the bermuda triangle and it's haunted and they have to escape it with the treasure, but their crew all ends up dying and the kicker is that my or somehow our characters were partners with the main demon guy and so they barely escape with their lives and no treasure. I think I saw that in a movie once, but I like it, lol.

I tend to prefer my settings to have mythical creatures and characters with special abilities. I also like when characters start out as more enemies or rivals than anything like friends.

Maybe we can incorporate a couple ideas into one. I think we were interested in some of the same things. War related stuff perhaps, was that it? Anyway, did this get you anywhere? Lol

It feels really nice to be overloading someone with all this. >D *evil laugh* No, seriously, it's nice to get my ideas out from cupboards and share them.

But I also like your idea about bounty hunters and travelling dimensions. It gives a chance to peek in with most of them and even involve my balance keeper, oooh. If we go with that, we should probably take Ryan (the one with cyborg arm). He has certain ability to create force fields, like invisibility, reflecting damage... why not some kind of trinket that allows him, with using lot of his energy, though, perhaps making him even black out for a day or so, breach barrier between dimensions and times with it? I've never done anything like that and it would help with keeping the RP active! Only perhaps he is kind of FROM the government or CEO that has personal interests in controlling dimensions and he ends up being on the run and chased by someone with more advanced trinket that doesn't use up so much energy! ... But perhaps a bit cliche? Hm. Maybe they think that person is from CEO/Government, but they're actually a bounty hunter like you said and have simply stolen the trinket prototype. Which might have some nasty side effects.

I really like how you set this idea and expanded it. :D

I've not done mysteries and murder RPs, not sure I yet want to either, I would be a bit like fish out of water, but mystery and murder TRACES could certainly be thrown in. No good adventure, especially supernatural/fantasy one goes without good intrigue.

But, the treasure hunter one sounds fun! XD

And yup, all of this certainly got me plottin' and thinking!

:D It feels good for me, too. To be able to go into great detail and ping ideas like this. I don't usually get to do this. So I think we're leaning towards the dimensional traveling thing? I swear someone else was just talking to me about this kind of thing, I think. I can't remember, lol. Anyway, do you want to go with that story or keep thinking and come back tomorrow and see what we've come up with?

Well, I need to go now, so we can talk about it more then. :)Take care.

Sounds good, talk to you tomorrow!

Sorry I just went 'pop and poof' like that last night, but kicked myself off and for a good reason, heh. Hope the night went well and today, too.

And, yeah, I suppose the travelling thing would be cool. Gives lots of space (hehehe). Would probably put our characters in opposite camps at first, too, as he is either set out to capture her/get the information or something of the sort. I wonder, would your character be able to travel between time and dimensions on her own? Would be funny if it was with her power from early age, the things she has seen growing up. o_O

No worries! I poofed right after I posted that last bit to shower. I need to make some coffee here in a minute, and have some water and breakfast while I wait. I didn't get much sleep and had to be up early to clean before the guys get here to install our counter tops. And I went to bed with a migraine and woke up with it, so my brain is really foggy today.

But that's a great idea; having her ability being to travel like that. And I don't care which role I play, just because they both are so good. So you can pick whichever you'd like.

Oh, I'm sorry about the migraine and little sleep. Can't say I slept much, too, and I'm about to head off for a while, need to go to library and shop.

We will probably end up mixing both ideas, like she can naturally travel and he has his drawbacks, funny if they travel together and then each end up on their own end of zombie/something else infested city or such. XD

Absolutely! This is going to be epic. I'll talk to you later! I'll start sifting through my old character ideas and make an outline of a character at some point today, if I have the time. Today is going to be a hectic day. The guys aren't here yet, but should be any minute. I don't know how long it will take. Then I have to feed the fam at lunch, then we have to install the microwave and I still need to get to the grocery store myself. My sister-in-law's rehearsal dinner is tomorrow, so I need to do my nails and such and start planning for that and for her wedding on Saturday. Then on Sunday we're driving nascar cars at the track.

My poor grandma wanted to come visit this week, but like I told her, this will be my busiest week, but after Sunday I should be back to having a lot more time on my hands, lol.

Sounds like you're undergoing some major house work or just moved in. o: Good luck either way, hope the day goes by fine. As does the rest of the week which does sound very busy!

Am excited to see your profile outline. :) I will make some minor tweaks for Ryan's as well, so it fits in the setting we're making. Tomorrow's probably gonna be hectic for me as well, but for me, the weekend will be more free and then - into school work, neck deep. But we will manage, I think. :)

I think so, too. :) And yes, we're doing some renovations. All of our major appliances went out in the same two months except for the fridge. *knock on wood* And we just decided to re-do the whole kitchen. The wall colors are awful, the cabinets need painted, the floors are scuffed with holes. It's been incredibly stressful. My husband has had to start working a whole second job to afford the work and we still can't afford to get it all done at once and have family coming in from out of town today.

We've spent an astronomical amount of money over the last month, trying to get our property taxes and debt paid off, too. And Christmas is right around the corner. Money sucks. And it's only getting harder to earn and keep it. =/ My husband's going to have to keep a second job just to pay for health insurance now. Sometimes I feel like we'll never get ahead. Hopefully once the tot is in school and I'm working, things will be easier. But sometimes I just don't know. There's always something keeping us in the hole. *sigh*

I'm usually more positive, lol. Today has just been one of those days. I need to remember that I can only do what I can do, and that I need to let the rest of it go. None of this is life threatening, we've got food in the fridge and a roof, cracked as it may be, over our heads. I think a huge part of the problem is not having any family support. Not money wise, just emotionally. My husbands family is a stressful pain who's always broke and needing something, and my family doesn't like his and thinks everything we do is a stupid waste. My mom believes I should stay home all day every single day and never do anything, just to save gas and miles from my car and that we should never spend an extra penny on anything, that we should only pay our bills and buy food from the grocery store only and that everything else needs to go straight to savings and if I even buy the kiddo an ice cream I've wasted money and I'm a horrible person.

I can't win, anywhere. I'm sorry for this, lol. It's been a trying day. And my grandma has been BLOWING up my phone, even though I told her on multiple occasions that this was a very busy day for me. She's calling, texting and even leaving voicemails, which she rarely does, so it's like, wtf seriously???

o_O Well, that's quite the list of mishaps. Don't really know what to say, except perhaps just tell your grandma you're a grown woman with your own child and life and if you say something, you mean it and it's not out of ignorance about her, just simple facts and situation and that there will be plenty of other days. I mean, you will see each other on your sister wedding, right? So...

Saving on its own isn't bad idea, especially if you have debts and can't even finish the repairing of kitchen and so on, because it will help it all get done sooner and then you can live easier, take a breath, but it's hard to put it off, especially if you don't see end to it.

How big is your kid, if I may ask?

Oh my gosh I agree with that completely. What's the point of having a savings if you're saving up to do things you could just be doing already with the money? It doesn't make any sense, lol. And no I won't see my grandma at the wedding because it's a wedding for my husband's sister. It will be her family and her fiance's family, primarily, friends and dates being the exception of course. My grandma doesn't know my husbands side of the family well.

I'm 25, I think. Lol I've lost track by now. 25 I have a three year old daughter. She's hilarious and super smart and a huge pain in the ass. And my husband and I bought this house when we were 18. We're "the youngin's" that all the "mature older couples and singles" talk about. They can judge all they want. We did things early, we're happy. Struggling, but happy with our little family. Besides, everything we've been through has given us more wisdom than most of those people have even in their "older and wiser" ages. Boy have we been through it all.

Well, in my family, which just consists of me (highschooler) and mom (unemployed and ill) only, no relatives or anything, we've managed to put some tiny bit of savings aside, which has been very hard, and when we CAN, we add something to it, but mostly it's taking off and adding back next month, BUT if something crappy happens (which, unfortunately, does every other month or more often), then we have some backup. So, I'm kind of in-between save and spend opinions, but kind of lean towards saving and I am really bad at spending money and not feeling crappy about it. But to each their own. It is darn tempting to spend it at times.

And I see. If she's so little then it's gonna be really stressful for your husband to be the only money earner for so long, especially with these expenses and debts you seem to have. It's still 3-4 years till her school time, righ? Maybe there's something you can do from home, I know getting job's difficult, just wondering.

Anyways, as said by my age, I'm not really going to be pretentious and say I have advices, I just look around, read and think so I have my opinions which are not necessarily right, especially about individual cases. So, I will just mostly stay quiet about things like these.

Lol everyone is entitled to their opinions. I rarely get offended by others and their thoughts, so you don't have to worry about saying anything that I might not like to hear. I'm pretty open minded when it comes to advice as well. And I don't really think age has much to do with maturity. I know high schoolers who are ages above my peers when it comes to maturity. I know people in their 40's who act like freshman. It's crazy.

And I'm all for saving, some. But not every single extra dime to the point you become a recluse who doesn't remember the sun or how to drive a car or what the world is like or what ice cream is, lol. People need to be social, and to try new things. I take pride though in being able to find lots of really fun free stuff to do in my city with my daughter. From festivals to story times and puppet shows, etc. I think there's a way to have a nice balance of savings and still allow yourself some allowance to live your life.

Of course, we'd be a lot better off without all of our debts, which all stemmed from not saving anything ever, and opening up credit cards to spend money we didn't and would never have. Good advice? Never buy something you don't have the cash for. (There are exceptions, though few. Like purchasing a home.) Need to build your credit for that? Open a credit card and pay one bill on it every month, and when your statement comes in, pay off the bill immediately. It's not like you're adding a bill, you were already going to pay it, and it still builds your credit. They even have ways to do prepaid credit cards that build your credit, so you can basically put all of your money on it and use it as you would the cash, and still build your credit.

Sure wish we'd have been smarter about money when we were 18 and crazy, lol. We also thought we needed lots of things. When all we needed was each other, and to be thankful for a roof over our heads. You live and you learn. My mom is always trying to tell me how to live my life. How to clean, how to cook, which bank to bank with, which grocery store to shop at, what color I should wear, what not to do... There are only so many things a person can hear and learn from. Real learning comes from experience and mistakes, as well as successes.

I sure hope my daughter grows up to learn from those around her, and the mistakes we've made, and the things we got right. But I know she'll have hard times. But I also realize she needs to. *shrugs* I'm sorry I'm rambling today. I get this way when I've had coffee, but am tired. It's a strange combination. My body wants to sleep but my mind won't shut up.

Also, I'm sorry your mom is ill. =/ I'm sure that's a hard thing to deal with.

Heh, true about age and maturity. They say wisdom comes with age, I say - only if you actually want to gain any and don't block any drop of knowledge you may come across.

Well, if we lived after advice 'never buy what you don't have cash for', we would never ever buy anything. Reason why I have hard time doing it, as I mentioned. But, in a more normal life, it's really good advice.

And sounds like you spend nice quality time with your daughter, that's good. Yeah, depends on country and city, but there are always something to do for cheap prices. Sometimes just taking a long walk through city or park is what makes a kid happy and open to the world and that really is for free, beside the 'talking fee' with her and perhaps gas/bus fee.

I don't really mind rambling, as long as I'm not required to answer with as much always. P= And I can totally understand tired/but too energetic to sleep or shut up, hehe. Hope the day went by as fine as possible.

And I'm completely with you about finding good partner thing. ._. Not just on Mene, in general.

Did you have any interest for the last roleplay still? I'm certain I will be fine with you replying even just once or so a week. That gives me plenty of time to keep my inspiration and unless it goes over a month without a reply, I won't bug you or anything.

Ranie: I'm going to check out your RP request, to see if I would be interested (what do you mean for 'the last roleplay'?), because I don't want to get too much on my hands or drop midway. Since this isn't my RP request, I was just passing through at first.

Hiiiiii!!!!

Okay, so I reaaaally don't have experience playing guys. I've only done it once, and didn't feel very confident. But, I'm willing to try again if you are willing to put up with me.
Anyway, I kind had this idea where a girl moves to a new house and a ghost lives in he closet. Most people can't see him/her, so it was a shock when the girl could. Eventually, people just start to think she's crazy or it's her imagination. It would be a sort of silly kind of thing where the ghost keeps getting into trouble (aka, spending all her money online, bringing in her mail and people seeing the mail floating, etc.) And just other silly things. I was thinking I could be the ghost, unless you wanted to. Well, what do you think?

Hello Poppet! :D I read your request post and was wondering if you would like to do a one on one rp with me? I have an idea in particular that I'm very eager to write. The title is Making the Grade. It would involve romance, travel, history, and two high school students from different social circles. Would you be interested in something like that? If not, I'd be more than happy to discuss any other pairings or ideas that catch your eye? :3

sadrain, just hang tight for me! I read your profile and I adored it. We had family fly into town and had a rehearsal dinner and tomorrow a wedding. We'll have family in town until Tuesday I believe. I will be back with my head in the game, soon!

silvergamer, I thought your idea was great! I'm willing to give it a shot. It sounds like a lot of fun.

Lupine, I adore the idea. I'd play that story, totally!

Everyone, I'll be busy until about Tuesday. While I'll be able to log on, my brain probably won't function at full capacity until all of our family members have flown back home. I really don't want to promise I'll be here thinking about characters and stories, when I may not be. So let's plan to start up stories about Tuesday. Then I should be here to post every day or so. I'm always on Mene. You guys just caught me at one of those uber busy times! If you guys are anxious, feel free to start up the thread without me cause I'm totally down for all the ideas.

I guessed you were at the dinner, so, hope you had a fine time and all went well. Also, wish you have great day tomorrow at the wedding. :D
Glad you liked the profile. :)

Whee! Have fun at the wedding and by the time you get back there will be an intro waiting for you! :3 How exciting! :D

Thanks y'all. I did get your message. I should be back to my normal schedule of being here throughout the day on Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest. We still have family in town that we're in charge of entertaining. We've had rehearsal, wedding, racing and a death all in three days. It's just been very busy. I know this is the last thing you guys want to hear, but I might be considering taking another small hiatus. The death was my daughter's best friend's mom. It's really just made me feel like I need to throw my computer out and all of our tvs and start investing ALL of my time into my daughter. You never know when one of us just might be gone. =/

My condolences Poppet. Whatever you decide to do is fine. Chris and I can and will wait as long as needed until you feel in the space to write. :)
