Blood and Fire

Kariel, upon landing back in Nanrithea, had not been expecting an all out battle to be occuring. She knew that she had been gone for a while, but she didn’t expect to have come back to a war, and she could confidently call it a war based on the condition and packing of the barren ground beneath her feet and the thick scent of dirt and iron in the air. While she had expected to stow her weapons and sling her shield across her back upon arrival she quickly found herself amidst a horde of shocked soldiers, and, grasping her sword and readying her shield, she prepared for an onslaught.

At the same time, her eyes scoured the battlefield, relieved to see the castle still standing, and hoping that a certain somebody was at the edges of the current encounter rather than at the center of it. But she knew Anna, and Anna would want for a fight just as much as she would, so she kept an eye out as she fought against the soldiers that dared to come at her. @bloodandmistletoe

Dennis' Adventures in Fairyland

It’s been a while since he came out for an ‘On the field’ mission like this. These days he mainly worked as a consultant, giving advice to the younger, more spry hunters as they battled demons and banished ghouls. Those days were mostly behind him, but every once in a while, he felt that itch, that craving to go out and chase adventure again.

Of course he was happy and comfortable in the life He and Zaire had made for themselves, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t go stretch his wings now and then. It was even Zaire that encouraged him to go check out this latest, kind of cryptic call. Very few details had been given, just that there had been unexplainable sightings of some kind of unusual creature at Llwyn Celyn forest walk.

Calls like these were often just skittish tourists that had merely spotted some local wildlife and couldn’t quite identify it, but Dennis isn’t one to pass up the opportunity for a peaceful walk in nature and so he parks up and heads in.

After an hour or so of wandering, enjoying the flora and the scenic views, and finding no clear trace of supernatural activity he decides to take a little rest. He doesn’t have quite the amount of energy as he did in his twenties so he flops down into a comfortable grassy clearing. He must have been more exhausted than he thought as the grass just seems oh so comfortable, and his eyes seem so heavy… He lays back and shuts his eyes…

“Well. You’re not wrong.” Masha stare’s the other down, kicking lightly a the ground as she talks. “Wonder which on that makes us?”

It wasn’t that long ago when she decided not to be a victim anymore.  It wasn’t hard to play dumb, or drunk, or just horny and trick someone into letting their guard down - but apparently that wasn’t just a physical thing.  Fear still gripped her, and she could feel a sob working it’s way out of her.  

There weren’t supposed to be things like that up here.  She was supposed to be the biggest, scariest monster preying, but, she was weak.  She had been weak in Hell and she was still weak here.

“It’s too big.”  She replied weakly.

4: What is your advice to new/upcoming roleplayers?

Get a lay of the land. It always helps to first check out other roleplay accounts, especially those that go in the same direction as what you had in mind (be it OCs or canon characters) and to see what the customs are. No two rp communities work exactly the same way. What is a-okay in one comm is frowned upon in another. Seguing from that: Keep roleplay among roleplayers. I know it’s super exciting to find a relevant post and if you want to play off that, I hear ya. But if I learned one thing then it’s that most of tumblr is Not Down With This. If you want to roleplay on a post that neither your nor your rp partner made? Make a new post. Roleplay there. It’s neater and kinder to people who are not involved with roleplay at all.

One extra: Have a finished rules & about page before you get really into the works of it. Even if your character is canon and you only want to rp with people from that canon. Not everyone knows everything. It helps tremendously when people can just look up all the relevant information about your character with one click on your blog. It’s just a considerate thing you can do for others. And you won’t have to look for any stray info yourself either.

Disclaimer: These are just my opinions, obviously. If you think all that is BS you’re free to go your own way!

9: Do your friends and family know about your roleplaying hobby?

They do. My mom had to listen to my rants about this or that rp drama for a long time. And many of my friends are roleplayers themselves. Good stuff.

I don't hang around that place no moreI'm tired of wearing circles in the floor

Armand stood close to the fireplace and scratched the beak of the raven perched there. The creature still stared and it still made the vampire uncomfortable, but he was getting used to it. 

“Thank you for letting me stay with you, Anna. I couldn’t stay in my mouse another minute.” He chuckled mirthlessly to himself. “I’m thinking I’m going a bit mad, if I’m honest.” He brought his hands to his hair and tossed the honey locks. It was nice to be in a house where his value wasn’t based on his looks. 

His walls were starting to close in on him and his own thoughts were a humming din that made his eyes cross. He turned to Anna, head finally quiet. He was calm with her. Her home was warm and safe for him, even if it was a little creepy and a bit too quiet in the woods.
