What punctuation/grammar/spelling errors do you make consistently?

How the fuck do you spell “refrigerator”? I don’t know. I let spellcheck tell me because I cannot bloody remember to save my ass. 

Also bureaucracy took me a literal decade to learn because “bureau” can go fuck itself with making no sense as to why everything is even put that way oh my god

I also suspect I use the en- and em-dashes incorrectly constantly, but no one has called me out on it yet. (I see you over there, @tlbodine.) And if you want some utter hilarity?

Was.

Was. 

It haunts me now. It plagues my soul. It lurks in the corners of every shadowed room, waiting for any moment my fingers reach for a keyboard to slither into the light and remind me that it exists and it hates me.

The Fool: When has your character been excited to start a new journey? (Slate)

“Th’ first time I headed off for Vigil trainin’.” 

He chuckled, shaking his head as he soaped the cinch for Ellie’s saddle. “Never been that far from home before and I was all rarin’ to go. Thought I’d be doin’ somethin’ real helpful.” Slate paused and began rubbing the leather strap harder. “Thought my wife would be proud of me at th’ time.”

Shrugging, he set the soapy cloth down and straightened, rolling his left shoulder. “Don’t regret goin’ in, even iffen I did come outta it worse for th’ wear.”

Ghost Youths: Do you believe in ghosts?

Yes. And yes. And in case that wasn’t clear enough, yes. 

I’m straddling the weird line between “puts crystals everywhere to keep the house safe” and “oh my god you’re kidding me that’s just a stupid trick not Slenderman” which makes it especially hilarious when I watch a horror movie. 

I believe just enough to make my own life a living hell LOL

{And no, @tlbodine, THE SUMMONING RULE STILL STANDS.}

★ - Cain

Cain’s favorite color is a light, almost electric blue. He particularly favors it when combined with black and gold, hence his usual style of dress, and considers blue eyes superior in shade to any other color.

★ - Wildcard

Senna Baros fell kind of ass-backwards into her “side profession.” Listening to a man mutter into his beer for a few hours about how much he’d pay if a particular person just died already, she located the person, drowned them in Lion’s Arch Bay and brought back a lock of hair. 

When he didn’t believe her, she took him to where the Lionsguard were pulling the body up. And when he didn’t pay up, Senna waited until he’d gone home and showed up in the middle of the night to scare him into coughing up the gold. It was a fairly lucrative evening with not much effort, so she figured assassination was an excellent “side job.”

★ - Slate

Slate Carter isn’t a man of many secrets or regrets. He tends to accept things that have happened, grieve and then move on. However, the argument he had with his mother about his first wife--more specifically, what he said in response to her concerns--still haunts him. 

And the fact that Eleanor died before Slate felt that full restitution had been made makes the memory even more bitter. He still apologizes to her headstone every time he visits his parents’ graves.

★ - Catherine

Catherine Lee is not exactly combat-oriented, but she has managed to do her fair share while in Maguuma. The fight that left her nearly dead, yet triumphant, was her against an Elite Mordrem Guard Punisher. 

It took her a bit to mend her own wounds enough to allow for travel, but Catherine came out of that fight no worse for permanent wear.

★ - Heathern

Heathern Ferne has none of the traditional Norn tattoos--not only does she believe she’s not yet earned enough of a legend to have one, she doesn’t have enough Norn friends to convince her otherwise. 

What she does have is a single name tattooed on the back of her left hip. As Heathern doesn’t look into mirrors for very long, she’s actually entirely unaware of the tattoo.
