In reply to: Auguria 's message, "Muscles soothed by the water, Auguria decides to come back out of the water. Grabbing the towel she brought, she dabs it over her body to get most of the water off her skin, then lays it out to sit on. She starts combing through her hair with a finely carved wooden comb to get her wind-tangled hair smooth again. She looks a lot nicer than when she arrived, dirty and tired from the road. Now that she's cleaned up she looks less like a hag and more like the fairly nice-looking young lady that she is. Her mind seems to go off somewhere as she combs her hair, her eyes staring off into space." on 10:33:11 09/18/03 Thu

All right, that's it. I'm saying my share.

Mai'tsa, you're a great role-player, and you seem to love to argue. You've definitely made your point, and seeing as I know you from elsewhere, I know you certainly like to get your point across clearly. You have many good points, most of which are true. But can we please, _please_ drop the arguement, or at least keep it in messages like these: It's cluttering up space, and it's hard to read what is actually going on in the scene.

Oricon, I can definitely see where you are coming from. Yes, in the movie, Galdriel glowed (Although not nessecarily because she was an elf). Yes, in the books, there were _definite_ implications of elves having inhuman traits and abilities (Anyone wanna argue with me on that? Give me an e-mail, I'll give you page-by-page proof on this one.) It's also true that you can put whatever the heck you want for a description, as long as it doesn't affect the well-being or movement of the others directly. (There are exceptions to that rule, but I'm not getting into it.) Thus, your description of the room being filled with happiness is perfectly reasonable, if not completely true. There are people who simply seem to cheer up an atmoshpere when they smile. You've all met them, I'm sure. Your character doesn't have to be affected by it, but other characters can put whatever they want for description. It helps give an idea of wht their personalities are like, and what they are trying to contribute. It helps create atmosphere, and if you don't like it, either deal with it and move on or have your character do something about it.

Also, whatever goes on out of character (OOC, like this right now) is _not_ what the character says and feels. It's the creator talking, folks. This cannot be emphasized enough. Take me, for example. I like to type a lot because I like to talk a lot. I like to look at issues from both sides. I apologize if I bugged you with this because I hate it when I bother people. Terra on the other hand is the quiet type, the person who doesn't like to interfere unless she has to (It's in her bio, for those who care, but I'm certainly not telling you to read it.) and likes to just sit back and watch. She's relaxed about arguements, which is a factor I like to keep in most of my characters. Please don't get her mixed up with me. I will gladly do the same for you.

Okay, I'm done. Auguria, Adwen, if you read this, then I'd like to note that you are great role-players too, and that's all I have to say.

"I meant both Auguria," Oricon says quietly so as not ot bring up the debate again after Mai'sta ended it. Oricon smiles again and the room fills with a feeling of happiness and a pale light surrounds Oricon. Oricon turns to Terra. "I dont mind to call you by Yumakami, rather than Terra if you want. And like Mai'sta said, 'we dont bite.'" Then has an epiphany of what Mai'sta had said..."HEY! I dont bite!" Oricon giggles. "Ok I will let Auguria answer." (NT) -- Oricon, 16:13:36 10/20/03 Mon
