The Emperor of Solmaria

[Thanee]

Kinden says nothing. Just like a human, he thinks, starting an argument and then blaming the non-humans for it.

OOC: LOL? Kinden started with insulting the humans (while talking to Shadowleaf) and even while talking to the bard specifically, continues to insult all humans in general! You should be a bit more careful with your words, if that was not intended... No worries, tho, noone is taking this seriously!

 

[Majin]

Shadowleaf rests a hand on Kinden's shoulder and speaks in Elvish "Calm yourself, it is not worth it..." As he says this he makes an effort to look Kinden in the eyes, but quickly averts his gaze, the Elf's "glow" becoming too intense up close. A possible friendship with this one? he muses. Your irony at times never ceases to amaze me my Dark Mistress.

 

[silentspace]

You should be a bit more careful with your words, if that was not intended...

OOC: If by ‘You’, you mean me, then please accept my apologies! I’ll drop out of the game, with no hard feelings

But if you meant Kinden, then Kinden said exactly what he meant to say! Please remember it's all roleplay! The non-humans are being persecuted by the humans! The humans in the party have said and done nothing to show that they are here for any reason other than being trapped in the inn! Of course I wouldn't say that IRL! IRL I'm a human too! IC, this would be an opportunity for the humans to say or do something to show the non-humans that they are on the same side.

But if you meant Kinden I guess you would have said it IC, not OOC.

I love the setup that Mithreander gave, but it can lead to misunderstandings, especially over PBP

 

[Li Shenron]

OOC: Come on people! Of course we are roleplaying, let's take it easy... at least my character isn't supposed to be nice, and I want to try having him developing friendship with the others very slowly. I may roleplay him very badly, but that's a different matter. Actually, I was at least twice going to enter a post in the dangerous conversation but I couldn't think of something interesting enough and thought I was going to spoil the fun of it, so I decided that Aramil remained silent

 

[Thanee]

OOC: Ok, a lil more explanation, before we can move on! silentspace, no hard feelings, I have absolutely no problems with you (I'm just sitting here smiling about the stupid misunderstanding )! I was merely explaining, why Lenya reacted this way (and yes, I meant Kinden's words, of course, altho they are written by you, so that's a wash. When I said "you should be more careful" that basically meant, that I don't think you wanted Kinden to be insulting, or did you? (wasn't meant as a "threat" or anything, hope you didn't take it that way... pretty much sounds like one on second glance , sorry for that!)) ... I just think Kinden was quite arrogant/hostile/insulting for no obvious reason, altho probably not intended (not to me, mind you, just to the human characters), and that does get Lenya worked up, as she is only here to offer her help! And hey, if being DOWN HERE in this mess doesn't show that the humans care, then what else should (Lenya could probably just go up and go through the gate, but she already said, that this won't work for the non-humans, and therefore she stays)!?

 

[Thanee]

OOC: Basically repeating, what Lenya already said twice, just a bit more clear now!

As Kinden doesn't reply, Lenya continues. I hope you understand, what you just said! See, I could simply turn into a guard and move out of here... the thought HAS crossed my mind, if Shadowleaf had not been waiting upstairs at the inn, that would have been my route to escape... but it wasn't! This here is the most disgusting thing I was in... ever! But I am here, I am here to help YOU, and you tell us we could be spies for the emperor!?

 

[Lichtenhart]

"On a second thought, give me some more crap but please, make them stop bickering like huffy children." Dar asks his god again.

"Please let's get out of here first, and skin ourselves later, shall we?"


OOC: At least none of you knows dwarven, so something will remain between me and Pelor, though you can learn to understand the tone of Dar's prayers.

 

[silentspace]

Kinden regards Lenya quietly for a moment, his eyes flickering in the torchlight. Up until the emperor's decrees, I never thought about being an elf. I just was one. But now, I am proud to be an elf, as I can see Dar is proud to be a dwarf. Just because a group declares they are better than another doesn't make it so, no matter how readily the members of the supposedly greater race are willing to believe it.

He turns back to the front again. It's clear he doesn't quite trust the humans yet.

 

[Thanee]

You can't stop it, can you? A GROUP... just because some deranged emperor wannabe, who probably even killed his father to succeed him, has declared non-humans to be second class citizen, doesn't mean all of us share his view!

Lenya then moves on, shaking her head about the ignorant elf.

 

[hippocrachus]

Xanthas stops suddenly, his seemingly apathetic mood dissipating in light of the bar scene, the sewers, his ruined boots, the smell, the rats, and above all else, the constant nagging sound of a self-righteous elf and ditzy brunette! "Shut up," Xanthas explodes and shakes his sword menacingly. His anger beyond control, he charges straight in the direction of the rats screaming in rage the entire way and yelling with every swing of his sword.
