Only two people left in this world // Bran

"You have to do something Jaime," Cersei hissed, her temper shortened by her nerves. Jaime seemed less bothered which only served to infuriate her further, "they'll have both our heads for this, you realize, and probably Joffrey, Tommen's and Myrcella's too." She had begun pacing. It had taken her some effort to find this precious little time alone with Jaime, where she was certain they would not be overheard. The king had gone hunting with many of the men in his party, which made her nervous enough. What if Stannis had told someone else? Jaime though, ever the portrait of cool arrogance, did not seem to be taking Stannis' threat seriously, "He knows, he as much as told me so 'those who breach the laws of marriage through cuckoldry are dishonorable, and weak' he knows."

"Sweet Sister," he spoke pushing himself off the wall to walk toward her. She stilled her steps and watched him walk forward expectantly, "Stannis won't tell Robert or he would have already."

"And if he told someone else?"

"Then we will find out who he told and I'll kill him too."

While relief flooded her body she did not betray it, still glaring at Jaime as he drew closer to her, "What if it's too late? What if someone tells the King?" "Then we'll say he's lying, they're lying," he took her by the shoulders and she pulled away roughly, still glaring

"Don't touch me," she said through her teeth, but Jaime went on.

"We'll say whatever we like, and if that doesn't work I'll go to war with them if I have to," he was always so sure, so arrogant, and Cersei could not help but feel the same arrogance, the same sureness, the longer he spoke.

He pushed her back against the wall and in an instant his lips were on hers. She pushed against him, without any real force, "Jaime, not now," she whispered, her hands traveling down his chest, still pushing with less than half her strength. He kissed her again, and turned her protests to moans as he pulled up her skirt. This was always how it went with them, she would pretend to resist but she never could.

13 and 23 please. =)

13- What is your biggest pet peeve when it comes to roleplaying?

Oh goodness. I've been RPing since I was in Grade 9, so I've had a 8 years to develop a number of things I find irritating in RPing. Buckle up, this might be a long response.The biggest ones are all under the umbrella of God-modding/ power-playing/ power-gaming. I really dislike it when RPers decide how things should be for the muses of other RPers, or refer to them doing things without consulting the player, or mun, first. I hate it when people, for example, put words in Dearka's mouth which neither the show, nor myself, have had him say, or tell me what Dearka should do in a certain situation. He's my character, and after RPing him since halfway though the first airing of the English dub of SEED, I like to think I have a handle on what he'd do. I pride myself on putting a lot of effort into Dearka, and become a little offended when someone would rather half-ass his character, and not do him justice just to mention him in a storyline, than ask me to write a post, or even just ask me what he'd do in a certain scenario.

God-modding is not only rude and inconsiderate (I think of god-modding as the RPing world's equivalent to theft), but an insult to the way the writer portrays their character. It's like telling them that they don't write them well enough, so you're going to do it for them. If that's how you think about another RPer, then personally, I think you should write fanfiction instead of RPing. God-modding can be hurtful, and there has been times in the past where someone has god-modded a character of mine (both canon and non-canon) and I've become really depressed and upset over it. I've asked myself if I really suck so bad that I'm not capable of deciding how my own character fairs in battle, or how they'd react in different situations, or simply whether they're a lazy person or not.This seems a lot more prevalent in situations where canon characters are involved- people seem to think because it's a canon character, it's okay, because they have an idea of what the character is like. However, we all see different things in the canon characters we decide to portray, and latch onto different aspects of their personality. Other RPers aren't God- they don't know what the writer has in store for their character, nor can they control the actions, thoughts, words or otherwise of a character that isn't theirs. Not even the Lord himself has control over free will, so why should another RPer?Avoiding God-modding is simple: just stick with your own characters thoughts, actions, words, history. Write in third person limited, NOT third person omniscient. Unless it's through dialogue between characters, DON'T tell another character what to do, and if you're part of a group of RPers, don't play another's character as an NPC (as though no one is playing them, deciding their thoughts and actions for them) without permission. Talk to your fellow RPers. =)23- How has your day been?

It's been very good, actually. I got out of bed at a decent time and actually made myself breakfast, before going to get my gift from you^^.

[what is god modding?]

(It’s a pretty broad term, but basicall it applies to one rper controlling another one. Say for example one of my rp partners had Tony moving or even saying saying something without asking me if they could control Tony)

It is not cool in RP where a supernatural character tries to pick a fight with a normal one in an attempt to crush them and or humiliate them. It is not cool, when a supernatural character who has induced a fight gets angry at the normal character for trying to RP and giving themselves a shot in the fight. This is the same as god-modding and it is rude.
