Hey!!! Where'd everybody go?!?

 

I'm messing about with roll20.  Thus far I've managed to make things instead of breaking them, so I think I'm on the right track

Does anyone here have a good writing music? I have in a loop Mir Da'len Somniar, but it tends to drag me into descriptions and no action.

No words preferably, instrumentals.

 

 

I wish DAI Qunaris were more like DA2. So badass.

Believe it or not, I have a similar situation. I suppose I've been an introvert most of my life, at least...It's hard for me to explain. I've always been painfully shy and awkward in most social situations, except around friends. I think much my ambivalence has to do with my upbringing. I am an only child that was raised in a house full of people, including my great-grandmother, grandfather, grandmother and mother. Other extended family members were nearby and frequent visitors. My grandmother ran a beauty shop in the house where I grew up (all are gone now except for mom)...So, in spite of it all, I am used to and love being around people, but only those I am comfortable or at least "familiar with". I'm sorry for this, but I think  I need to vent a little.

 

The strangest thing happened when I got a little older (Please note I am NOT condoning or promoting this behavior or self-medication), I noticed that drinking acted as a "social lubricant" and turned me into a "social butterfly", in a way, it was like I became, or let out, my inner extrovert. After a few years of clubs and running wild...It started to get old. I really didn't want to rely on anything likely so detrimental to mind and body as a "crutch", so I stopped drinking. I don't consider myself an alcoholic, but I was afraid of becoming one like so many other family members I've seen who had their lives destroyed or ended.

 

So now here I am years later, still struggling with social anxiety, etc. (and I'm probably going to hate myself in the morning when I realize I posted this)

 

I grew up similarly. Only child with international home-stay students living with us. It ended up making me desperate for privacy to the point where now I guard it fiercely!

 

I get social anxiety too and only hang out with my family + in-laws. I don't really play by social-norms and they've learnt to just accept my strangeness .

[Kadan]

Ugh....somehow a character I added and didn't think of as bad, has become a bit of an ass...I think I have read too much angst! Now to decide if I want to continue this through the story. It could get interesting, or it could get ugly.

Maybe it's because I'm a Gemini?

 

I've been through this too, figment. I'm an introvert too, and always found it difficult and tiring to socialise. I also went through a period some years ago when I partied a lot, and drank a lot. Usually I wouldn't see it as a crutch or as self-medication (though I know it can be and that's when it becomes dangerous, you're right). For me it was just a social pastime; we do it, then we move on. I think it's always easier to bond with people over a common activity, whether it's clubbing or video games or whatever. And when there are no common interests, I just grit my teeth and accept that I'm doing something I hate (and I have to do this a lot now because of parenting things). And it actually works, because then I realise it's never as bad as I imagine it to be.

I'll unlist mine just for you :

Hope that worked. It's mostly darkish Skyrim music and ambience.

I usually write to silence, but when I want music, I go for this arrangement from the GoT soundtrack:

 

I may not be Daenerys's biggest fan, but her theme is awesome.

I felt the same. I was like "Wait? What? S***!"

But I do love her theory on where the darkspawn came from!

OK.  I've sent out the group PM to everyone who expressed interest in playing some tabletop.  If I somehow missed you, sorry!  Let me know.

 

*raises totally intimidating hand*

 

 

I'd like to join but also I'm pretty shy.  So... have fun guys.

But we have puppies*

 

*We don't have puppies yet but if I can be someone with puppies, I would.
 

Am I the one on the right or the left?
 

Depends who's starting. Either way, we're clearly adorable intimidating.

It's absolutely brilliant. I'm dumbfounded and amazed, especially by how much it makes sense. 

 

I thought this fic was great before, but now it's more than great ... if you don't read this, you are missing out on so much.

I think they came from plants (reposting from the lore thread):
 

Hmm... that makes me think of that conversation between Solas and Dorian where he chides Dorian:

 

• Solas: I am surprised you do not practice blood magic, Dorian. Is it not popular in Tevinter?
• Dorian: While we're sharing surprises, you've done a lot less dancing naked in the moonlight than expected.
• Solas: Tevinter lore about elves remains accurate as always.
• Dorian: I wanted to see you make flowers bloom with your song, just once.

He doesn't go after Dorian on the second part, maybe there's something to the making flowers bloom thing.

 

Edit: And I'm out of likes for the day. I think the internets are telling me to go to bed.

[CapricornSun]

Well that latest chapter of Looking Glass hurt my heart a little. Just a little. (Actually it hurt my heart a lot....)

As for that tabletop RPG thing, never played one before but count me as one of those too shy to even try.

 

Anyway, art break!

 Hmm.  Not this weekend, it's my boyfriend's 30th birthday.  Probably next week?  So I can have time to learn the roll20 system, and we can all suss out character sheets and basic rules beforehand.  I'll send out a group PM sometime today or tomorrow once I've figured out what I'm doing

Next weekend may work. I'm supposed to visit my mother one weekend or the other, but still haven't nailed that down yet. I'm having rough money times after cuts at work, and dropping $50+ on travel for just two days is difficult.

 

Just loop me in on planning and we'll see what can be done.

[Cee]

Clan Lavellan are used to dealing with humans. It's likely that she would be used to seeing them.  As a hunter she may have traded with humans, as the First she may have gone with the Keeper to arrange passage through lands, or open relationships with human settlements.

 

This.

 

I headcanon my Lavellan's father is a trader, so she accompanies him to towns sometimes when she's older. This helps prepare her for her future role as the Conclave spy. She knows how to talk to humans.

I am, unfortunately, at capacity for this first game.  I can take the first seven who messaged me, and that's a full table for 5e.  I'm very sorry--I just don't feel comfortable running a larger table than this for a learning game

 

We'll see how it goes, and if I don't suck, I'll run a second game for everyone who didn't/couldn't make it the first time.

 

EDIT for ToP:  Blackwall with ALL THE BEARD, because it made me cackle like a jackal.  Trigger warning: beard?

.... Mine is so curious about humans and outside world that frequently when the clan's near some human settlement she just sneaks out to mingle or trade some herbs or game for stuff like books, knowledge, necessities not easily obtainable by usual trade or trinkets (she has a bit of a thing for frilly jewelry)

The clan knows this - some approve, some don't; she usually manages to get away with it, because aside from Deshanna not really opposing to it she uses her personal charm and convinces most that it's actually useful: she brings some more exotic supplies, news or gossip. And since she's most familiar with moving around humans, she was the natural choice for a Conclave spy, despite some objections from the clan that Deshanna is sending their First on a dangerous mission (though some may be secretly relieved and hope for a new one. As much as Asura is liked and the clan is generally open-minded, her ideas may be considered a bit too revolutionary, even for the clan's Keeper).

 

I am now headcanoning your Lavellan as Ariel.

No way, I forgot about that! Very good.

This fic is so ridiculously good, and I love how they're not afraid to put their own theories into the story.

I love how Solas is always telling Lavellan to either pitch his future or his past self off a cliff.

Again, I'm very sorry for the misunderstanding  I asked folks who were interested to PM me, so I'd have all the names in one place.  Sorry if I wasn't clear.  I'll try to make it clearer next time.
