Public Service Announcement

Good evening. My name is Raniall Lightstone, and I am here on behalf of the 4th Combined FC and LS as its new head. 

I would like to reiterate what has been said that the 4th and its members were unaware of what was transpiring and after we were made aware of these actions, the officers confronted Kale and it was agreed that he would step down and had over control of the 4th LS, FC, and our Discord. This has all be accomplished, and as of time of this writing Kale has no role or voice within anything concerning the 4th.

As Flames RP moves forward, we will be rebranding the 4th Combined Brigade into something new to further our break from Kale. I have a dedicated and passionate group of people I’ve brought together to help me plot the new direction for the 4th as we move in Shadowbringers.

We will also be evaluating our ties to current and former allies, as we need to ensure that people within our LS and FC can feel safe and that their grievances will be heard if they are brought to myself or another leader because at the end of the day however, we are an RP FC and we come here to have fun and that is what we intend on getting back to following reorganizing and restructuring. We want to be open and receptive to RP with other groups and certainly with our military GC brethren. We look forward to seeing everyone in Ul’dah and Thanalan, and thank you for your patience and support as we move forward.

For anyone who might have any questions or concerns, I can be found in game or over Discord at Raniall#1354 Kindest Regards,

Raniall Lightstone

No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | Fuck Yes | Oh god you don’t even know | Depends on the Circumstances

“It…depends on the person.  I am loathe to surrender myself to a man, but some women have a …presence.  Sometimes it just feels good to let go, yes?”

[shiningfeather]

Kink: Violent sex. Not rough sex. We're talking the furniture is broken and the next door neighbors called the cops thinking someone was dying sex. The kind of thing you explain the bruises as slipping in the shower and can't get the hand prints off your ass kinda sex.

No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | Fuck Yes | Oh god you don’t even know

“I do not have a need for this kind of thing, but…mmf.  When it has happened, it was unforgettable.”

give me a kink...

No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | Fuck Yes | Oh god you don’t even know

The Last Letter from Home

A little story I wrote in response to a letter to my character posted on our Discord. It won’t really make much sense without proper context, and is posted here mostly for the benefit of 4th members (and me not having to deal with Discord’s character limit)! My character has been IC absent from Thanalan while I have been out of the country for almost a month. The player of my character’s fiancée saw fit to send three letters formatted as above in that time, so here is my response to such charming creations!

- Kale Aideron

The host almost sluggishly marched its way across the western plains of Paglth'an in its homeward journey to Thanalan. While heroes, the men and women of Flame Marshal Still River’s army were far too fatigued to give any thought to revelry and celebration. When in the bosom of the Sultanate would they think of such a thing, but for now, their last wind was to be spent on getting to that blessed oasis.

Second Flame Commander Kale Aideron had served as the deputy commander of signals for the left flank. His Bloodsworn training had proved useful when he innovated using runners to communicate with the right flank while freeing up linkpearled troops to maintain contact with the centre. Still, it would offer him little recognition. In a host this massive, prestige was to be distributed in a thoroughly top-heavy manner. The commissioned officers were all that mattered. The privates and sergeants were levied en masse from the Free Brigade. A lieutenant in this force was equivalent to a private in Kale’s home regiment, and likewise he occupied the position equivalent to a sergeant in this host’s officer corps. The rank-and-file were thus expendable when comprised little more of uniformed adventurers.

The greatest failure of our generation is calling it a “Dad Bod” and not a “Father Figure.”

🏷️Do they give their partners cute nicknames? and 🔮Do they believe in soul mates?

Shining Feather doesn’t believe in soulmates, but she does enjoy cute nicknames!  She freely uses the little cute honorifics, such as darling, dear heart, or lover, but for her partner, she’ll establish something special and private, just for them.

[shiningfeather]

❌Would they ever cheat on their partner?

Shining Feather would never willfully cheat on a partner.  However, she has her weaknesses, and I cannot say that, given the wrong circumstances, she would not be impervious to the right temptation.  She’d feel terribly guilt-ridden after, but not until she’d come to her senses.  I don’t suspect it’s likely, however!
