I witnessed one not long ago. It hit me very ooc also, because it wasn't even roleplayed any sort of search (¿Is it called that, when they grope you to make sure you're not carrying something hidden?) or... well, anything. It was more like "Drop all you have on and I will see if you can carry fifteen kilos of limestone". I guess in that town they valued highly the small bones and fur, because I don't remember seeing anything further than that XD

"Yes, I want to be killed or imprisoned."


I really want to do that to someone.

I spent six hours today sitting in a marathon meeting, with maybe one or two ideas to contribute and that was all. Most of it simply didn't apply to me. Ugh!

Oh, that's a Mathematician's Answer. I love pulling those on people. (Don't think I've had a chance to do that IC yet though... hmmm)
Usually when I do that I either mean "yes, both", or I'm just bored and feel like answering the question in a technically correct but unhelpful manner.

I like doing that :)

For how much I love cooking in the game, I sure don't take good care of my characters. The eating tick all my characters seem to light up... :lol:

Just back to home after almost a week long holiday and each day was filled with events and metal music. I am feeling happy , also I am curious to discover the recent changes and news in Cantr . Especially for I have learned something and it put me in a deep shock.

I noticed one of my characters' journal has nearly 8000 words now. By November I could submit it for NaNoWriMo. :lol:

Done!

I'm so tired... This is pretty much how last night went...

Brain: Weyyy, you're in a dream festival! Enjoy...
Dream me: Awesome, loads of folk I know, what can we do?
Brain: Well, that band are on at 20:00, It's 17:46 now, how long until they're on?
Dream me: 2h 14 mins, shut up brain, I don't want to do maths... Let's get a drink..
Brain: Okay, drink! You got a beer 23 minutes ago, so if you have a drink every 23 minutes how long will it take you to drink 7 beers?
Dream me: Umm... uhh.. Hey no, piss off... I told you, no maths! I'm going into this tent here..
Brain: Okay, so you and 3 friends have gone into this tent, 4 friends went to the glow tent and 6 friends went to the main stage, if two friends leave the glow tent and join one from your tent and go to the main stage... Then two from the glow tent join you...
Dream me: Shut up brain, aaaaargh!!! *toss, turn, toss, turn*

Dying to say "I don't like you, go away and die" to a character, but unfortunately, my char is too shy to say it. :?

So about a half hour ago or a bit longer, some moron upstairs in the apartment next door (connected to mine) didn't extinguish his cigarette. The apartment building patio wood caught fire and climbed the walls. My apartment thankfully is fine, so are me and my sister and no damage to ours but I didn't even know our building was on fire until I started hearing banging going on out back when they were putting it out. Talk about an night of excitement.

Glad you and your sister are okay.

Got one better. How about every time you take a shower, once you open the bathroom door, the smoke detector goes off because your landlord is an idiot and put it right in front of the bathroom. -_-
Oh look, another glorious morning… makes me SICK!

I think that means you have a heat detector, not a smoke detector. I used to have one at an apartment that was in the kitchen (like wtf) and went off whenever I had soemthing on the stove (even water boiling).
