Hello, Colleen! Pleasure to meet. Gosh, thanks for the warm welcome. ♥ I didn't expect something like this but I really appreciate it!
Everyone's been nice to me since I stepped in. ♥ Ms. Emma's told me about your role in the back works of the game, too, so to be honest, I didn't think you'd have just joined last year -- like maybe you're one of the oldest members, etc. So I guess I was a little surprised.
;;
Ooh, a gamer? Like, video games, etc? I used to be an avid one and then money said "No" so.
But I still play when I can. Also, you don't have to worry so much about my reception on your writing or anything. I've been reading a bit of Phen's play especially in her log with Isabel and the books I read pretty much have a good range from light to dark so I'm not squeamish or particular. I like to take things as they come and besides, what's fun in controlling the other player's actions, right! Unpredictability is the key to enjoyment. \o/
Annnd quoting things now before I forget things.

RPing with creative people is my fave pasttime of all pasttimes, and from what I've read of your stuff so far, Liv, I couldn't be happier to welcome you to EF!
Aww, thanks! ♥ I'll do my best to be up to par with it.

While Eli seems to be the epitome of social experience, my Phen is the opposite. She was teased quite a bit when she was younger by the "pureblood" nymph children, so she hides her body when she isn't dancing professionally. Yes, my seemingly reclusive nyad (water nymph) is a dancer at a place called The Birdcage, and while dancing she bares a lot of skin and uses every bit of her nymphly beauty to enhance her performance. It's kinda hard to explain, so I'll just sum it up in a sentence or so. When Phen's on that stage, she becomes a different person. She feels safer, more secure, and when she feels safe is when she isn't shy about her body. *Shrugs* I hope that explains it okay.
Like Michael Jackson! Right? Although his is a tragic story but he felt really safe on stage, too. >.>;; Anyway, Phen sounds (reads?) very lovely. I'm sure Eli (wow, you call him Eli! Never thought anyone would
Although he likes to call himself as a human Nicolay and his animal form Eli...in the future. When he gets his head around it) would love to be friends with her and he'll do his best to share a little of his "social experience" with her! Not that he was any successful with doing it to his sister but he never really bothered, anyway. Maybe he could come and see her dance in one of his ~touristy~ trips!
Actually, what kind of a place is The Birdcage? (Anyway, he's legal.)

She also has a pet! Phen was given an angel snake (a small winged pearly scaled reptile) for Xanthmas, and she named her Sanna. Sanna practically goes wherever Phen goes, so expect her to be in almost ever scene Phen's in unless otherwise stated.
I'm afraid that Phen doesn't speak either English or Gaelic, so ... yeah. However, she'll be happy to try and communicate, and will work with whatever method Eli elects to try. She loves to learn new languages, so perhaps he could teach her English if they become friends? Anyway, I'll send you a PM about that, as I love to get Phen into as many RPs as I can handle.
I will! Eli probably wouldn't
like some winged reptile's presence in the conversation (and wonder if she's an ancient dinosaur) but he'll get over it.
Trust him to do it. When he communicates this late in Elysia, it's by drawings and hand gestures but he's doing his best to learn Elysian only because God knows how long that guy can keep quiet. Which is umm...not for very long so. He enjoys people, he likes talking to people so he's going to overcome whatever obstacle lies before him just to freaking
talk to people.
Trust that he'll do his best to teach Phen English, too, for that same reason!

My fave kind of chocolate? Hmm ... toughy. I think I'll have to say cadbury's dark chocolate. So yummy!
How different is it from other dark chocolates? >.>;;

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *runs flailing*
But that aside, thank you for this very peachy glomp and what you said about the intro!
♥ I'll try to keep my standards that much or better for this game. Everyone's so awesome and nummy, I'd feel bad if I went otherwise. ♥ Amber also told me (excitedly) you were her crochet buddy and I thought she got really lucky there.
You and her seem to ride on a lot of similar waves!

Believe it or not, EF was my first ever experience of roleplaying (beyond a few short *thwaps* in IM with friends), so I kind of jumped in at the deep end. This is the big reason why EF's always changing and evolving because we're kind of making it up as we go. ¬_¬ But can you believe we'll be celebrating our fourth anniversary this August? Four! FOUR!!!
Wow! Seriously?
I've honestly never known anyone whose first experience in RPing involves being a mod at that.
And four years, I can say, is really, truly awesome. Not a lot of games ever lasted that long (very few of my previous ones did) so congratulations! \o/ I'm...glad I could be here for it.
Even if it feels like I'm just leeching for the food and the wine. >.>;;

You can probably tell I suck at intros (honestly, anything past "Hi, my name is..." and I call it good
). Oh oh! My charries. I play Kiel (which you know). I also have a few retired characters who pop out from time to time, so if you ever want to RP with someone else feel free to wave a flag. Daz is an ex-Aide anti-social grumpy guts who'd probably find Nic's enthusiasm annoying, but she can be cool and she has a winged tiger named Dante. Piper's amazingly shy and stuttery, although she's been making progress off-screen since I retired her in November. She also has pets, a clingy fox called Fawn and a protective wolf named Comet. I also had a lesser god called Vicious but he took off into the aether. Who knows if he'll be back?
Oh yeah, and the biggies. Xanth, my goddess. The big (purple) cheese who likes to interfere in peoples' business then act like she's totally hands off. She's nice, normally, but she can get really really mad and scary.
And Farfar the dragon! omg he's so cute!
And red. And watch out if he gets the hiccups because he has absolutely no control over where he sneezes his flames then. He also has kleptomania too so watch Nic's wallet. And, well, anything shiny really, including tin foil. He likes tin foil for some reason.
Yes, I know Kiel the Spaz. ♥ And Nic dare says to Daz that he's not enthusiastic! He's just umm...very social. There's a difference! Vicious sounds like some awesome plot and Nic is now a little jealous that everyone has pets
who live but him (even if they're kleptomaniac. He'd probably be a little scared to put up a fight, anyway
). But he can be his own pet. Or something. >.>;;

Hahah, I made it sound like I have lurgie or something, but it's Myalgic Encephalopathy (ME, aka CFIDS, or CFS) and Fibromyalgia. I won't go into details (unless you want them), except to say that it can really affect my ability to concentrate and remember stuff (along with a whole bunch of physical things that can mean I might be unable to post for a couple of days here or there).
So when I said don't be afraid to poke me if I forget stuff, I meant it.
:OOO So how does
that happen? I mean, I don't mind if you don't want to go into detail, Wiki's always online but this is the first time I've heard of something like that. Well, thanks for telling me! At least now, I'll be a little more aware on how I should conduct myself. ♥ Is it bothersome? x.o

Okay, okay, so back to the good stuff. All our members are crazy awesome and really friendly, so don't be shy or nervous! They'll drag you into a niche just for you before you know it.
Thank you, thank you. Everyone's been very nice to me (everyone being you, Ms. Colleen (who I keep almost typing Ms. Phen) and Amber, oops) so this is very reassuring. ♥ I'll post IC today, too! It's time for me to step out of the OOC realm and stuff. \o/ Also, you need to tell me about Haribo. <.<;;
