Yes, save for people's personal property of course.  :P

I am back from Otakon. I am going to take a nap because I REALLY need one, and then I will be available for more posting from an actual computer and not from my phone during an AMV competition. (I posted during the romantic ones so that I wouldn't miss anything.)

I really should keep after this place on the weekends.


If the interactions with the three other field mice is overstretching, I can cut it out of my post.

I have to admit, I found myself working on a novel for Field Mouse Sembas Filden, so I made myself cut it short...

@Kith: I would love to hear more about your adventures as a field mouse. Feel free to god-mod the mice NPCs however you see fit. You can also feel free to post whenever you eventually make it to Dennan. You will be able to find him in his cottage, though it is quite a distance away, at least if you are using mouse legs to get you there.

@Siron: Give me a yay or nay on whether you would like to have a practice combat with Corvus.

I have a request before we get into the actual spar. Can you tell me more about the swords in your setting? What I want to know is the sharpness of their edges. In medieval times they were pretty dull, since a sharpened edge could easily be chipped and most combatants had only three or five inches of the pointy end sharpened.  They compensated for that with strength and technique. (Yes I spent some time reading stuff like that, though I have not checked their credentials :P)

I would really accept either; I think it comes down to the preference of the combatant.

This is proving to be an interesting exploration of the character.  It's walking a fine line between too social for an introvert in a socially demanding scenario, and being comfortable around a particular individual, since he is actually familiar with Lai to some degree.  Also, having to account for a state where drinks are involved.

EDIT: Also accounting for being excited in general about his new home.

Also: STILL loving this field mouse thing...

Well I was asking since there are a moves to trap swords, in which you hold the swords edge. Razor sharp edges not cool to hold.

@Radobe: You won't find out which it is until you try. :p Bear in mind, you are fighting with a mortal weapon. The sword you saw him holding is unlike anything you've seen. General rule of thumb for sparring against Ageless: they don't try to injure you. So he will chiefly use the flat of his blade to hit you... If he uses it at all. :p

You guys are awesome.  I'm glad you like my post.

As I'm writing the next one I keep stepping back from it and realizing that I must be a little crazy.  But I think I'm ok with that.  I think...

@Kith: Don't apologize for the length of the post! It was awesome! Makes me wonder what other cool new things Kith will encounter as he gets more forms!

@Siron: Corvus is giving you the first move. I know you haven't really experienced any combat yet, just remember to post your action and wait for me to post a reaction. Good rule of thumb is "Should the attack hit, it will..." then describe the desired effect. Remember, you only get one action, so you can't throw dirt at him, swipe at him, and try to elbow him. Your posts have been awesome so far, so the more detail you throw into what Siron is doing, the better.

I am writing it up right now. I will be as detailed as possible, but i wont promise anything good, since this is a first for me.

Edit: Since I dont realy know what his ready stance is, :P I will assume he has lifted his sword infront of his body.

At character generation, you have a limited number of options available for attributes. There are actually a lot more you can learn from NPCs, specifically Elder Ageless. Dexterity: Celerity is considered a Legendary Attribute. Think of it as REALLY fast speed and reaction. It is DEFINITELY an attribute your character can eventually gain access to, should he wish to train in it. Corvus and Dennan inherited it as a bloodline trait, but other NPCs such as Archer, Jonas, Fury, Blood, and the Archon would all be able to provide training once you reach the point you can acquire Legendary Attributes.

Thought I'd elaborate that Fjorin is referring to the Lady of Shadows when he- yeah, ugh, long day.  Ever had one of those days where you look back on some writing and can't tell if it's coherent or not?  I usually can't tell until a few days after. XD
