Required How Is My Driving.

Attempt politeness and steer clear of wasteful words, remember we're all friends here and we don't want to ruffle any feathers.

If your feathers are ruffled please report to me and the ruffler will be summarily executed or at least given a psychological interogation exposing their flaws. Whichever they prefer.

Au contraire! You seem to have sustained some misconceptions on the nature of my decisions. I fully think through all possible implications of my characters actions, including the protests.

My aim, as ever, is to force excitement amidst the hair brushing and shopping dates.

Rose how many times has your character dramatically died or been otherwise accosted by traumatic events in the last three months
Theres forcing excitement and avoiding a mundane plotline
And then theres this
Dramatic occurrences are by all means welcome but youre taking it too far too often

When one is fighting against the flow of banality I find that more is better. Especially when one is fighting alone.

Wow and what is that meant to imply
If Im so dull to play against you could at least try plotting in tandem instead of just forcing everyones hand

A task that would be easier if my ideas were not shot down with no alternatives provided by other parties.

Youre never interested in hearing alternatives or compromising
We end up spending too long discussing the merits and lack thereof in the plans youve already conceived and will be carrying out anyway that theres really no opportunty

Ah, I was imprecise. Workable alternatives.

Theyll never be workable if you dont work with them
But oh no youre mind is always made up already

I try but when it comes to creativity mine has a quality often referred to as "fun". It's a novel concept but one I strive for. And you are considerably more resistant to.

Rose theres nothing fun about your characters being subject to constant psychological and physical trauma
The word you were actually looking for is probably "Aggravating" or perhaps "Stale" a little

Also as a sidenote you have a tendency to turn any word of criticism into an opportunity to insult the person raising the complaint

And you would describe your own plots as delightful? I'm afraid the only reason I come back to your own abilities is that room for improvement is hardly limited to myself. Especially when we are working cross purposes, in that you are wrong.

[ theres really no point maintaining the pretense of anon at this point, is there? there never was to begin with, was there? well, if she's getting specific she might as well drop it. ]

What About That Time Jade And I Proposed The War Between Vampires And Werewolves With Plenty Of Opportunity For Action And Drama And Various Other Things
But You Dismissed It Because You Felt It Was Too Mundane Without The World Itself Ultimately Splitting Apart

Kanaya? It's you! Heavens, I had no idea. I retract all my comments in light of this revelation!

Wars between vampires and werewolves are mundane. They are a blight on otherwise... no, I can't say it. Vampire literature is always awful. When it contains werewolves it gets substantively worse.

Wow Maybe I Should Just Drop All Of My Characters Then And Never Play With Jade Ever Again
Since The Union Of Our Interaction Is So Anathema To Your Surely Refined Tastes
If Vampires Are Always So Awful Then Why Do You Even Play With Me

Edited 2013-05-07 07:10 (UTC)

Sublime decision. Top notch. I can't wait for you to hit me up in the drop post. Really, Kanaya, you're taste for melodrama isn't helping us achieve betterment in our "pretendy funtimes".

While vampires are as stale as any bread trapped in the Strider house, your play is, sometimes, well worth suffering through the tough crust to the glimmer of moisture at the center.

Fuck. Sorry. I haven't eaten.

My point, if you care about it (a fact I grow ever more uncertain of), is that werewolves and vampires have transcended dead horse tropage and trotted into the ground of the vampire horse that will never die even though we all wish it would.

Youll Excuse Me If I Try Very Hard Not To Take That Last Point Personally
Given The Manner Of Its Relation To My Very Person

But This Is Still Only One Case
We Had Proposed One Singular Plot That Had Included The Offending Elements
But Your Obstinance And Resistance To Any Sort Of Proposition Without Any Kind Of Suggestion Or Flexibility Is A More Sustained Issue

It Is A Regular Impression You Cast That "Suffering Through" Any Of Our Threads Is In Fact Mostly All You Do

Rainbow drinker ≠ vampire. Rainbow drinker ≈ Vampire is an equation I can live with. You are the last thing from cliche even when sliding into tropes I wish you wouldn't.

I have many and varied objections to the proposals you put forth. Which, as far as I am aware, I presented to you with rationed thought at the time.

And I do enjoy our threads at times otherwise I would cease playing with you. Mayhap you are projecting your own dissatisfaction onto me?

The Differences Are Academic
Both Are Fictionalizations Of The Truth And I Have Chosen To Identify With Either As None Is More Accurate Than The Other
The Only One Who Seems Obsessed With These Cliches Youre Observing Is Yourself
I Know Their Applications To Reality Better Than Any And Utilize Or Eschew Them At My Own Discretion

This Isnt A Case Of My Projecting Ive Already Communicated My Dissatisfaction
Because While You Deride My Associated Tropes Endlessly You Still Insist On Our Participation Of Your Own

And what, pray tell, would those tropes be? We've written off those that cause actual excitement so I'm curious what else you have failed to mention that bothers you.

I know that you will remain yourself, vampiristic traits and all, and would not advise you stop. Merely that you expand from writing what you know. That road is travelled well.

Refer The The Original Complaint
Youve Revisited The Very Same Plot How Many Times Now
All That Changes Is Minor Details The Drapery That Decorates It
But It Still Follows The Same Formula And Yet You Accuse Me Of Banality
So What If My Characters Dont Stray From A Familiar Nature At Least Im Playing A Variety Of Things With Them

Honestly, I thought we covered this. I play all sorts of scenarios. If you followed along with them rather than throwing your hands up and declaring everything too brutal for you that would be obvious.

No You Didnt
You Dismissed The The Idea Outright And Turned The Discussion Away From Yourself
As Is Typical
And Really Rose Im An Undead Troll
On The Topic Of Brutality You Cant Even Imagine What I Have The Capacity To Withstand

It's typical because the accusation was only suitable for dismissal. So it was dismissed.

I have gathered some idea. The colossal trauma you can carry on your shoulders does not, in fact, negate your aversion to it in RP.

The Typical Part I Was Referring To Wasnt The Dismissal Alone
But The Attribution Of The Criticism To The Failings Of The Accusing Party
Which Hey What Do You Know Is A Thing You Havent Yet Stopped Doing
Its Habits Precisely Like These That Make Plotting With You Difficult
One Cannot Raise The Slightest Question To Your Ideas Without Themselves Being Submit To Your Scorn
Its Tiring
