What would you do? heh heh heh . . . - Page 24

Nariel Starfire · 02-01-2002, 01:50 PM

Here's mine:

Orli walks by.

Me (after realizing that, hey! that was Orlando Bloom!) *I turn around. * Hey! Hold up! STOOOOOOOOP!

Orli: DO I know you?

Me: Yeah, remember, grade school?

Orli: Sure, but I don't remember any Americans in my classes.

Me: Well, I didn't have an American accent then.

Orli: Oh.

Me: So do you remember me?

Orli: No, sorry, I don't believe I do.

Me: Oh, never mind then.

Orli: No, do tell me.

Me; No, really, it's okay.

Orli: well at least let me apologize for not recognizing you. Are you busy for dinner (that's lunch for americans).

Me: No, not at all.

Orli: Well, I am not so familiar with this area. Do you know of any good placed to eat?

Me: Sure, I know a great mexican place down the street.

Orli: Bloody awesome. Let's go.

After Lunch:

Orli: So you never told me your name...

Me: Anna Smythe.

Orli: You know, I think I do vaguely remember you. Well, I've had a great time. Perhaps we could go bungee jumping sometime?

Me: Sure. here, let me give you my number...

Years later at our house in Canterbury:

Me: Orlando, I have to tell you something.

Orli: Yes, darling, what is it?

Me: I never was in any of your grade school classes. You don't hate me, do you?

Orli: Of course not. After all, if you hadn't made that up, I wouldn't have realized how truly wonderful you are.

Me: oh, and by the way, Anna's not my real name...

Oh and Orlando? Remember how we always have the lights off at night? I'm not actually a woman either...

samwise of the shire · 02-01-2002, 06:12 PM

Gerbil....you are weird. My friend would DIE if she met Orlando which is kind of why I'm always wishing that "The Hobbits"and Orlando would get stuck in a snow drift and have to have lodging for the night at our house.

Sam

LuthienTinuviel · 02-01-2002, 06:47 PM

oh if i met orlando bloom.. heh..
ohps, i had better be careful, i dun want to get zapped from the drool on my keyboard.

oh man, sorry for lack of creativeness, im sicker than a rat (no offese to rodents at all) after he has himself a nice lil feast of rat poison..

btw: i had alot of fun reading this post, it kept my mind off of my illness for two days..

LuthienTinuviel · 02-01-2002, 06:50 PM

haha the only reason that first pictar of elijah is hot, is cause you can't see his neck!

*runs away form stampede of angry, oversexed elijah fans*

heh...heh... just kidding..

really..

i was.

Feraway Hawkbriar · 02-01-2002, 08:46 PM

BAD Luthien! *thwak*

*Ahem*

FF, RE, Sam, Wayfarer, Gerbil, Jerseydevil, and everyone else who was involved witht he stories- We should all do an actual RP together sometime, I think it would be fun. ^_^

Gerbil · 02-01-2002, 09:40 PM

I fear I might scare you all too much

Feraway Hawkbriar · 02-01-2002, 09:57 PM

*shrug* twas just an Idea.

Gerbil · 02-01-2002, 10:28 PM

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to.
I think roleplaying running up skirts and trouser legs would be fun!
The others might tire of it quickly though

Feraway Hawkbriar · 02-01-2002, 11:01 PM

lol. you are just too much Gerbil.

Ah, but seriously what I really meant was a sort of semi-serious RP. We all kinda know eachother now and so it would be easier for us all to play together smoothly in a RP. As apposed to total and complete stangers trying to do one. We all seem to get along pretty well, dontcha think?

jerseydevil · 02-01-2002, 11:29 PM

yeah - that would be cool. What kind of RP are you thinking of?

Feraway Hawkbriar · 02-01-2002, 11:44 PM

Uuuuumm...I'm not sure yet actually. I know I dont want to do anything...like..TOO serious...nothing like "OMG we're gonna die if we (insert quest here)"

I'm open to suggestions.

Sorry, FrodoFriend … depending on where you're located, you might or might not be familiar with the malapropisms of U.S. President George W. ("Dubya") Bush. "Strategery" and "subliminable" were among his gems — hence "A-dubya-ic" instead of Adunaic.

LOL, thanks Churl! I get it now. I was not familiar with those particular ones.

An RP! Cool! I've never done one. Are they fun? I'm sure all the rest of us combined could keep Gerbil's lustful dalliances under control.

Feraway Hawkbriar · 02-02-2002, 01:44 AM

Yes, they are lots of fun. ^_^

jerseydevil · 02-02-2002, 01:56 AM

I've never done one - other than D&D. So you'd have to explain - but it would be cool.

Feraway Hawkbriar · 02-02-2002, 02:48 AM

hrmmm..theres not that much to explain really. I've never played D&D so I have no way of compareing its form to basic RP form..but I'll do my best to explain.

A roleplay, in the basic sense, is group storytelling. Its very similar to what has been done in creating the 'WWYD?' story. the main difference being, you only write out stuff that YOUR charecter says and does to intereact with other chars. Whereas in the 'WWYD?' story you were writing for everyones chars.

In D&D I beleive there is dice involved, here there is not. I dont like playing with dice cause it ruins the mood and it gets complicated.

One liner rules:

1.) No god-moding- Roleplaying or killing off someone elses charecter without their permission is godmodeing and generally not a good thing. Dont do it.

2.) No charcter is totally invincible or all powerful-(pretty much explains itself)

3.) If you are fighting someone and they strike at you, weigh your charecters abilities against the others, and make good judgement, if you know your charecter cant posibly dodge the strike, take the hit.

To see examples of roleplay entries go to the roleplay section and look to see how other people are doing it. Its fairly easy to catch on to the Idea.

I cannot stress this enough, thouroghly flesh out your charcter. give descriptions give background, this makes the game more interesting for everyone.

Also, watch your speech patterns.

..umm...if theres anymore questions, feel free to ask.

FrodoFriend · 02-02-2002, 03:16 AM

Sounds like fun! The RP's in the RPG forum are all way too serious though. I could never keep that up for more than a sentence.

Sakata · 02-02-2002, 03:37 AM

*Shows up a FF's dungeon*
"Hiya"
*Walks past chained up EW and OB and grabs Viggo's chains and leads him by the collar back to her place*
"Hey Frodo Friend, I owe you one"

FrodoFriend · 02-02-2002, 03:42 AM

LOL. He's yours! I'll even throw in some honey-scented shampoo (unless you prefer him unwashed).

Feraway Hawkbriar · 02-02-2002, 02:02 PM

hrmmmm...LotR cast member rentals. lol.

FF-Yeah, thats why I want to do something a little more relaxed. Prolly going to be something involving the shire (well who the heck didnt see that comming?) but as to time and exact location and to where the story will go, I have no idea.
