Not necessarily, just some people did and so did I, since it might help understanding the choice of items and how it relates to the event. I don't think it changes anything in the judging, if honestly.

Ah xD I didn't write one but I could real fast.

you can if you want to. I'll still see what I see regardless.
xD

*hasn't forgotten the new entries I've been running around because of the holiday and just haven't uploaded them. sorry bout that guys

That's no problem, I think. :) Well, other than for you who is busy. D8

Hello, just dropping by to say hi and I want to enter an avatar so will do that soon. How is everyone?

Hello, how are you today?

Oh I am fine, off work finally and watching a weird movie on tv called Meet Monica Velour.

What are you doing?

Just chatting with some friend, lurking here, thinking about what cosplay avvie to make (generally, of whom) and such. And you? :)

Well I have an avatar made for this one, I'll post it now. So are you entering the other avi contest, Ashy's part with the cosplay? I can never think what to make, lol.


Hello to Mizeria! Here is my entry for The Reaper. Thank you! :)

Avatar entry:

Wow, that's an interesting one. *thumbs up*

And yes, that's the plan. xD I thought of Re-l from Ergo Proxy, this one comic character which is my main idea right now and Raven from Teen Titans, but... meh. xD

Thanks and those sound like they could make good cosplays. You are lucky you can think of that or what to use. Frankly I am not entering that one because I just suck at making avi's like that. Otherwise what are you up to? I changed the channel that movie was really bad.

Well, I've made cosplays of them before and it's mostly because I like these characters (not always visually, but gosh, Re-l is pretty).

And I am just posting here, trying to role play, listening to music now. xD

You have an interesting avatar now, too. :)

You have a very interesting avatar too. Love that range of colors. Do you RP here? What are you listening to?

Thank you! It turned out much better than I expected when I first started it. Yours have such an interesting gothic feel to it, in a special way.

I don't RP here currently, but on another side called RP Repository. :) I used to RP here, but, well, I had problems finding partners and some things went awry with me being busy and having problems in real life.

Do you role play? And it's so nice to meet someone making an effort at having conversation. Sorry if my replies were short at first, I am just unused to it by now, I guess. xD

I am listening to random music mix that is my playlist, and it consists of lot of different genres, such as various Metal bands, Rock, a bit of classical, instrumental. My randomizer seems to be stuck on Moonspell and Powerwolves tonight, actually, and I don't mind at all! :D What bands do you like? ^^

About how long does it take you to make a good avi, like the one you have now? I sit and fiddle with mine for days, hehe. Seriously, it takes me a long time, I can never make up my mind.

RP Repository? Never heard of that. Is it a huge site? I am not very good at RP'ing. I have tried once, we had some interesting characters. I have also played some D&D. I am really busy too IRL, it sucks. What kind of characters do you like?

Anyhow I do like actual conversations but it takes a bit of effort as you know. Luckily I have been able to be here for some time today. Usually I can only drop in and then pop back in.

For music lately I've been listening to Abney Park, stuff like Delerium, Hooverphonic, and my favorite lately, Diary of Dreams. But I like a lot of different stuff!

Oh it depends, sometimes I can make it in half an hour, but this one took some time, I think up to an hour. But I have times when I leave it, come back and keep fiddling it for few days. My biggest problem is color balance and item balance and also getting my idea across.

Well, it's a bit like Trisphee - seems big, but pretty quiet. There are many people with various skills, interests and experiences, though. I think anyone can find a partner there and not feel judged.

I started playing with D&D and so, I am set on fantasy ever since, although I like "futuristic" fantasy settings that I make, where our Earth has somehow moved on and magic/strangeness has become part of it in various ways, sometimes even dominating over humans.

I have various characters, I guess shapeshifters of sorts are my dominating ones, but I have a lot of other kind of characters, too. My problem is that I get inspired for characters very easily, but can't really have the chance to play them all. ):

And you? Any genre you prefer to play? And what type of characters?

I am somewhat slow with role plays these days, feeling a bit bland, and I don't do well with multitasking. But they're moving.

Oh, I can totally understand that. >.< I am like that usually, only this event managed to pull me out from lurking a bit. And the fact I was home this week.

Ah, I know Diary of Dreams, but have not heard them for forever! *scuttles to youtube*

That is what I do...fiddle with it and come back. Sometimes it takes a while to load things. Argh.

That is nice about RP Repository because I know of people who can't find partners and now I can send them there. I like your idea about a future earth scenario that sounds really good. When I play D&D I used to only play fighters or rangers, but lately I had been playing Clerics but my groups disbanded because the DM moved away and even though I have looked on wizards.com I can't find anyone right nearby. But that one RP I was in online was total fantasy and magic and just some world that we made up with flying islands. But my problem is I have no idea how to plot things out, I can react but not improvise well. So...hence the poor RP skills.

I multitask a lot too. It's the only way to get stuff done, lol. And I agree about the event. I do try to post now and then as I have some friends here but on the other hand what is the use of posting and then coming back days later, you know? So I tend to come here for the avatars as I said above.

Try Butterfly Dance, that is one of my favorite Diary of Dreams songs. :)

Well, it all comes with time and writing role play is a bit different, you can plot together with the other person which sometimes is the most fun because you can get far, far ahead. Some improvise non-stop, some plan it all out in chat sessions. It really depends.

I hope you find another DM eventually, table top RPs are fun. Haven't done any for like 6 years, though, my only DM was my brother and after he moved out, well, yeah.

I just wish I had more skill at multitasking, usually, when I focus on something, I get glued to there, like this event here... xD Or I forget to come back hourly and do the game. Dx

Okay, I will do.

Omg I keep forgetting to come back and do the game too. I have 1 of the event items that cost 40 souls but I know it will take me a while to get the rest of them. They are really nice items too most of them.

D&D is probably something you can always come back to. I left it for a while and then came back and it was not bad picking it back up.

It's almost dinnertime here, where are you at? I'm in Maryland. I had to go and look up "caracal", wow, where'd you come across that name?

Well, we have 2 weeks and 2 days left, I think, so you have plenty of time. I should be collecting extras for selling, since it's my only income. xD

I don't really think I have any role players nearby, and now I prefer written role play. I am far more awkward in speaking than in writing. >.< And more prone to get OOC then.

I am from Latvia, that's in Northern Europe. ^^ So, it's half past midnight here, good thing it's Saturday just starting. P= And I once role played in fantasy animal forum where there was reference to this feline - I looked it up and immediately fell in love. Has been my favorite animal ever since (that's like 4-5 years). I feel quite connected to it.

Yeah, there is plenty of time, I just have to remember to keep coming back, lol.

Latvia, sure I have heard of your country, but I don't know much about it. I have a friend who lives in Estonia though, not that it makes any difference. :D And about the cat, yes that is an amazing looking creature, I can see being attracted to it. I like felines. We have 2 Bengal cats, one has spots too.

It is 5:40pm here. I am going to fix some leftovers for me and my husband so I expect I am going to slow down at responding although I will be back but it's getting late for you. If you have to take off or if I get caught up in the kitchen it was really nice to get to know you. You can call me Uma and maybe we can talk later or I'll see you around here. :)

Maybe place it on your bookmark bar and make it visible on all pages? :)

Well, they are neighboring countries, so, you at least know where it is, unlike most people. That makes a difference!
Aww, Bengal cats are beautiful. I have a mixed breed cat, she's quite devilish, but so amazing. I love her. <3

And okay, mind if I send you a friend request? This was a very nice chat, have a nice evening and good meal. ^^

I am listening to Diary of Dreams at the moment, you're right, Butterfly dance is a good song.

I am so glad you sent me a friend's request, that was really nice of you. I only have 2 friends here so now that makes 3. XD

So you have a devilish cat, that is funny one of ours is very devilish. What does yours do? Our has little spazz attacks and runs around like crazy and he attacks his brother who is sweet as can be. You've probably gone to bed, have a good night!

Actually, I am about to go now, just finished replying to the role plays and playing the games. :)

And you're very welcome! Glad I could make your friend list a bit longer. ^^

Oh, my cat growls, guards doors, does not like to be picked up so kicks out, and she chews stuff, tears stuff, wakes us up whenever she wants or is hungry... And she can also pet our faces, lick us, get on our nerves by constantly asking for attention and sleeping in front of us. She talks a lot, when she is hungry or happy and purring, all mew mrr mek mek. xD It's so cute. She's amazing cat we got from street, my first ever. :) Love her very much.

Now I really am going, have a great night! ^^

Hehe, she does sound like the very devil! I love it when our cat talks, he talks quite a bit and we go back and forth. Yours sounds like a real personality though! XD

Ok good night and I'll see you around. Just about time for me to play the game again, try to get some more souls. ;)

here is my entry

Oh my gosh, those entries are gorgeous! OAO *tableflips and ragequits*

How are you all this fine evening? Well, its evening where I'm at, so-- *derp*

*debates entering or not*

DO IT OmO WE MUST SEE YOUR GORGEOUS AVI laksjdlfkah

I can't wait to see who wins!!!

I can't wait to see how much points my avi actually gets. ;; *feels so simple*

Yeah, that too, mine just feels so boring compared to others. And it's a bit out there...

Wat? No... how so? ;n;

Everyone else's just seem so much more understandable to the theme and seem more interesting than mine. (I never think I do good, and when I do, it surprises the crap out of me)

I think you did very well, just like everyone else! Don't underestimate yourself! ...No, I'm not being a hypocrite for saying that just because I put myself down. I just believe you did an awesome job! '^'

Meh, I could always have done better. I just wanted to do something a little more off the wall in order to hopefully not come up with the same idea as anyone else...

Oh, that's definitely hard to do. ;; It would've been cool to do a reaper, but I decided to do the soul instead. ...but that was because I read Mizeria's definition of "Nox" as "a soul being guided to their final resting place" but I didn't read it as a general thing, so... ;;

I liked that yours was the soul, it was really neat. I just liked the idea of an Eternal Garden...it was a tweak on the final resting place idea.

It's hard to think of how a soul looks like, especially when its getting lead to their resting place. ;; Ooo, that's actually a neat idea. I like it, too. '^'

Yuppers. I even made a little song thinggy to go with her.
