I did, since you were right that I should not retract a post once it has affected others. And next time I will note when Vych is using her "powers".

But I do ask a favor that you read it again so you will notice that Vych never shoved Cait. She only tried to "urge" her back into the conversation at hand. People do that all the time at parties when one seems distracted. To call it "a breech of formal protocol" was a little harsh. Was that in character or out of character?

The reason I edited it was because Catulle's post seemd to negate Vych's actions all together; well at least the way I read it anyway.

Oh yes I know she never shoved her, but Cate is sort of affected by Sabrina right now and any attempt to remove her from the child will not be seen as a polite friendly action. So from her point of view it felt like a shove even though it wasn't.

Was what in or out of character?

As for the breech of protocol, I'm following the ettiquette rules of a formal high society party, well those that are thrown in modern times mostly. Also bear in mind that Cate (and I do as well) comes from a very wealthy Asian family which makes formal social parties even more full of ettiquette rules than usual.

If she had touched her elbow and manuvered her, it would be okay, but when you put your arm around someone so familiarly and move them especially when you just met them is a breech of ettiquette.

If it wasn't for the fact that they were in a formal social setting, Cate wouldn't care a dime about the whole thing at all, but because of the party that they're in and from what she knows about Vychtorya's background so far, she's surprised and off put.

Does that makes sense? LOL or am I rambling again...I tend to do that late at night.

P.S. yeah i know how you feel about the negation, that happened to me a couple of times, but I just said whatever and let it go.

This has been very hard for me to not post on.

I feel gagged here, instead of being able to freely speak.

 

[Shalimar]

umm.... then don't, feel constrained I mean. If you have something to say, please do.

 

[reapersaurus]

trust me, I can't.
Thanks for the offer, though.
Seriously.

 

[Shalimar]

Well, if you can't say it on the boards, then email me. I don't like it if someone feels like they can't say something. Tell me, if its something I did maybe we can see that it doesn't happen again, or that we reach an understanding where both sides are happy, yes?

Oops. That wasn't my intent at all. Sorry, I shall see what I can do about that...

BTW - if I've done it before, please bring it to my attention. I still have a touch of the newbieitis here and any help is gladly received.

Regards

Please leave what you posted. I REALLY liked it. It was the perfect reaction for Carrick. I even heard a song in my head for them as I read it; Insatiable by Darren Hayes.

 

[KitanaVorr]

Just to add.

I really like how everything is going. I like a conflict between PCs and I love it when characters make mistakes because perfect characters are really boring. Mistakes make relationships interesting.

Cate has a lot of flaws and I hope you've seen hints of them already as they will play prominently in her decisions and opinions about people.



ta ta!

A quickie post now, a biggie later.

From Ash on IC:-
OOC: Any chance I heard that?

We'll give Gabriel a per/alertness roll at diff 8 (low volume, since Estevez is banking on Nikolai using Auspex and Gabriel having it too, but the room's getting emptier). My sucktastic dice give him 8,5,5,4,3,1,1 (ever notice there always seems to be a one...?). So no he doesn't hear the words, but he doesn't botch either.

Per/Alertness diff 6 - 9,8,8,8,7,5,5 gives an ironic 5 successes. He notices Eugenio say ~something~ to Nikolai as he just got out of earshot.

Regards,

Barry
