Hiatus
ooc;; I will most likely not be on this blog for awhile. I recently moved into my uni dorm, and is still trying to get situated with my newly acquired uni life. For a week straight I have orientation, meaning I have various events I have to attend. Also right after (the following Monday) classes will begin. I would like to get a feel for my schedule and work load before roleplaying on this blog again.
Hiatus: 08/22/15 - ???

“I realise you don’t know me, but please help me, I think I’m going to pass out.” “I’m sorry to interrupt, but I saw someone put something in your drink. You didn’t drink from it already, did you?” “I got robbed and have no way of getting home. They got my phone, so I can’t call anyone. Could I please borrow your phone?” “Shit! Sorry, I didn’t see you there… Are you okay?” “Charlie! Imagine seeing you here!– Oh. Wait, you aren’t Charlie…” “Excuse me, I was looking to get my girlfriend a bra, could you help me– You’re not the shop assistant, are you?” “Watch out for that truck!” “Is this your wallet?” “You look very different to your profile picture…” “Look out where you’re going, asshole!” “Did you see that?! He had a gun.” “Are you the girl/guy from So You Think You Can Dance?!” “Err– I’m sorry to interrupt, but I was just walking behind you and I think you must have sat in something…” “I know I don’t know you and this might sound really strange, but do you have a room or a spare settee or something I could crash on? I could pay you… I just… I really need someone to help me out right now.” “HELP ME!” “Oh my god, are you okay? I’m calling the police. I think I saw who did this to you.” “Are you alright? You look really pale.” “The whole street is blocked off. The police won’t tell us anything, but I think there’s been some kind of attack… Maybe a bomb?” ”Have you lost something? Can I help?” “Are you okay? Did someone hurt you?”.

“…. What’s with that face, huh?” Well, she couldn’t see his eyes, but if they were revealed, she was positive that they would be an exact reflection of ‘puppy eyes’- then again, it was also strange that his eyes were covered like that (in addition to that, he was dressed strangely… but she supposed she couldn’t judge too harshly). “Are you… sad that I’m going to take the ball back?”
With the thought of the ball (which he secretly claimed) being taken Kau had lost all motivation to play with it, letting the spherical item roll a few inches away from him. He knew it had belonged to someone else; however, he was having so much fun playing with it. If he could he would had brought it with him no matter where he went, making sure it was in top condition.

There was no word of response and Judith didn’t know what to do exactly, “Oh so you can’t talk?” A tone of realization, a hand extended and placed against ruffled hair. “but how would I know why you’re here? or if you’re lost—” and by the looks of it he seems blind as well.
“….Give me a nod if you can understand me?”
He basked in the other’s touch upon his head, it being the first one in a long time. There was understanding as to why the other had wanted him to nod his head, with his appearance it seemed like he could not communicate efficiently with others. A tentative nod was given to the other, understanding the stranger well.

Not quite the sight to which he had expected to see out in the streets. That was not to say that it wasn’t one that he had seen before, seeing as he was not opposed to reducing people to states equal to this one should it be to his benefit. As such it was something that had captured his attention; seeing as it would seem, that this male really had fallen to this degree; how pathetic it was. A booted foot was manoeuvred to step upon the tangled chain that was being dragged along behind the individual. In order to stop the other in any progress that had been made in freeing them self. His short structure towering over the other now. “How unfortunate that you’d find yourself here.”
The scent of another had caused a bit of alarm to rise within the male, but that did not stop him from trying to untangle his chain. It wasn’t until a weight had dropped itself upon a portion of the chain, making untangling it much harder than before. Kau was not one to be wary with the strangers around him; he believed he had faced worst when he was constantly given to various masters before being tossed into the streets. A word was not released, it could not, because of his permanently damaged vocal cords. Instead the white- haired male stayed still and looked in the other’s general direction, waiting for him to make another move.

A good dog always listens to his master.
The treat in his mouth was given his undivided attention as he slowly bite down on it, savoring the sweet taste of the doughnut and glaze, making sure not to let any crumbs fall to the floor. He knows that if he goes searching for some crumbs he might end up eating something unfavorable from the concrete; he knows this from experience. Plus, he does not want to waste a single crumb, his hunger was in dire need of being satiated. It wasn’t long until he finished the treat, licking the corners of his mouth to make sure that everything landed in his stomach. The doughnut should last him for a few days, maybe even more if he finds something else to eat.
At this point, he began to wondered how someone could have dropped such a large morsel. Kau had the misfortune to only find scraps, some that were close to rotting. He did not question the findings of his dinner. A part of himself had wondered if someone purposely left the treat for him; usually people would be deterred by his appearance, more so because of the piercings aligning his chest and abdomen and the dirt caked against his once pale skin. His appearance was not what it used to be. He’s quite sure that his first master, Arbitro, would have a fit once he saw what his masterpiece now looked like. He spent so much time to make Kau look the way he was, and now all of his hard work was proven useless.
Though, it’s not like Kau can do much about his appearance. His handicaps already make it hard for him to acquire food; it’s a good thing he had his heightened sense of smell or he could have starved to death by now. Rummaging through trashcans was the only thing he could do, in order to find something to eat. His sense of smell helped him out quite a lot. Cleaning himself has proven many times to be a hard thing to do. He does not have access to baths, soaps, or wash clothes. He only has his tongue and any body of water that he happens to stumble upon. Despite the hardships he had once he had been thrown out by various new masters the white-haired male had deemed himself lucky for surviving this long.
With his dinner finished he had decided to rest a bit before moving towards a new area in hopes of finding more food and possible shelter. He got on all fours and began walking across the concrete occasionally hearing the sounds of cars passing by and a few birds chirping into the night. He was not sure where he was going, but he knew he had to get somewhere warm.
Top Writing Tips I’ve Received
thedancingwriter:
Whether I’ve received these tips through the sage advice of others or have read these in the stack of books on writing on my shelf, I have several favorite writing tips that have always stuck with me throughout my writing journey, tips that I’ve never felt the need to revise.
Show, don’t tell. Now this little piece of advice doesn’t mean you need to show everything, but what it does mean is to show when necessary. For example, you don’t need to show what someone shopped for at the grocery store if it’s not going to advance plot or character. You can simply tell readers what your character bought and be done. But also what your character bought can show readers who your character is. For example, if your character bought a Mario game, that shows readers she likes Mario without your having to tell readers that she does. I especially love this piece of advice to show a character’s emotions instead of telling readers how he or she feels. It has made my writing much more poetic.
Said is not dead. I love to use said as my primary dialogue tag or not at all. Since said is so invisible, it hardly registers with readers. The most skilled of dialogue can also show the tone without having to use an adverb to tell readers if the character is shouting or saying something sarcastically.
Limit adverbs. Adverbs can make a sentence clunky. For example, instead of writing, “She hurriedly ran to the door,” you can say, “She raced to the door” instead. For one, the latter sentence is a form of showing, and for another, it sounds and reads smoother.
Trust the reader’s imagination. You don’t have to describe every single thing in your book. Readers have a sharp imagination and can imagine what a television looks like without your having to describe every single facet of it–unless it’s an extraordinary television that no one can even begin to imagine. You don’t have to describe your characters in ridiculous details or their clothes or the layouts of the places they live and so on and so forth–unless you’re working in a fantasy-esque setting that requires more world building. You also don’t need to spew details all over the place without your character having even seen what you’re detailing. It’s best to describe in bits and pieces as your character moves through the story.
Keep the pacing steady. You want your story to be more fast than slow-paced, but you don’t want it being so fast that nothing develops. A story with slow pacing can drag and eventually bore readers. So when you start your novel, a key rule is to keep up the pace with your first five chapters, then you can slow down a little bit from there; not too slow, though.
No cliches. Cliches can work when used well, but more often than not, they make your writing appear lazy and unoriginal. Cliches are cliches because you hear them all the time, and while they can be effective for a lot of life situations, you want to keep them out of writing. They’re so generic that they lose their effectiveness. Just use different language to explore familiar concepts.
Keep it short. Try to convey your ideas using as few words as possible. This doesn’t mean every single thing needs to be super short, but what it does mean is that you need to get to the point before you lose your readers. Unless you’re using stream-of-consciousness as a style, keep it simple.
Let yourself write poorly. This is the best tip I’ve ever received. Spew word vomit all over your first draft. Once you’ve written that draft, you then have permission to go back and perfect what you’ve written as much as possible.
The other’s scent had intrigued Kau, causing him to slowly approach with his nose sniffing the air, continuously taking in the other’s scent. For some strange reason it was different from the average human. It reminded him of a dog. Now, up close to the other he pressed his nose against his leg, taking another whiff.
Sweat rolled down the white-haired male’s brow and it slithered underneath the leather mask he was currently wearing. The mask had started to irritate his skin, most likely leaving a rash, so he had desperately tried to untie the laces in the back, which secured his blindfold over his eyes. Unfortunately, he had not done such an activity before, leaving him breathless after a five minute struggle.
Muscles strained under Kau’s movements, causing a sheet of sweat to form against his pale skin. His hands pawed at the chain which was attached to his collar, somewhat frustrated that the chain had got caught onto something he could not identify. Various knots were met with his gloved-hands, making it harder for him to untangle them. Without his sight he was stuck in place.

Admittedly, she had seen weirder things than a grown man (by appearance) playing with a basketball in such a docile manner. That wasn’t to say she found it normal in any way, but maybe he was waiting for somebody and got bored of doing nothing. But… she needed that basketball. The street matches had just ended and she was required to return it to its rightful owner. “Excuse me? I don’t mind if you play with it for a few more minutes, but I’m gonna need that ball back pretty soon, alright?”
It did not take a lot for him to discover that the strange ball had belonged to the female, despite this he had wanted to keep it for himself because it was quite entertaining. Hearing that she wanted it back did not sit well with the male, causing his features to fall slightly at the revelation he could not keep the ball. He stopped playing around with it to let his face fall towards the ground in sadness.
renxei:
“Eh? hello there—” He tone was laced wit confusion, head tilted to the side as he watched over the strange young man that seemed to act quite differently. Judith crouches down, leveling his height with the boy. “You okay? How can you move around with that?”

Walking on all fours as if he was a dog, dressed in a somewhat restricting leather outfit was basically second nature to the white- haired male. For as long as he can remember he’s been this way. There was no possible way for him to answer the question considering his circumstances, so Kau opted to simply stare at the other (despite his eyes being covered).
