She looked around...and heard someone say something about Van. She approach another girl, "Hello, my name is Catie. I'm looking for Van, do you know him?"

Hey, Caleb, who's she talking to? The only one I can figure that's said anything about Van recently is Ewa, and she's not in the bar. Ewa, Van and Rathien are all on Van's ship outside.

Marie and Abby are my wonderful RAFsisters ^_^

Ya Rukh made a mistake I think. Ewa just said the name van, but I dont think he realized that Ewa is on a ship outside the bar therefore it is impossible that Catie heard her. Rukh when you read this you really should edit.

I just realized that what Salem's saying to Efaen could totally be seen in the light of him egging her on towards... *ahem* greater watchfulness for Yeerk ploys and *ahemhem* more drastic action against them :P

Oh... *facepaw deluxe* I got confused and thought that Zorish was in a male host. *headdesk* I mean, it's still an awkward scenario, and it was about time he twitched or spazzed or something, but...

Haha, yeah, sorry, pronouns can be confusing.

Actually, Zorish's host is an identical copy of Terenia's human form. Not that Jasper has ever seen Terenia's human form. But if he does he'll have a hard time telling them apart, except for what they're wearing. Or if Efaen morphs human, because her human morph is a morph of Tamora. So theoretically three identicals could be in the same room. o.O

Anyways, Zorish/Tamora looks like the chick in my signature. Except less angry.

Five out of seven characters I've role-played as were male, and all my characters are straight, thus far... Although, Van's simply flexible, so if there's an opportunity or an advantage for flirting, he'll do it, regardless of gender. He hits on women as a preference, however.

I'm going to try to post now. And there's nothing wrong with describing a female character- less pervy, and more, ah, normal male behavior. The way I started describing Ewa's clothing in my earlier post is more borderline pervy, seriously!

It's absolutely fun to portray a character of the opposite gender, by the way. I think I'm better at playing a man than a woman, really. I can be more objective and creative about how they think, I suppose?

I still say it's weird, but that's probably because I'm not exactly used to this kind of Roleplay game. Although it is fun to think that a female that can think like a guy will know exactly what guys like. Pyre are you trying to say that normal male behavior doesn't consist of pervyness?

Also is Al still at the bar? I ask because the slashed up guy is back and he's throwing chairs at big lizards now, and missing badly. :P

We're entering that area where Van's use of questionably honorable honorifics comes into play. Calling Rathien 'Mirwindzhensa-ge' is unquestionably an insult. To keep within the non-personal area, Van calls him 'Mirwind'. This is out of the idea that Rathien is a Lord, and that Van doesn't know him personally. Referring to him by his position alone is much more insulting than using Rathien's personal name, however.

The honorific, 'zhensa-ge' is a modified form of 'zhon' (roughly, 'moron', 'dork'), which when directed at 'you' is 'zhen'. 'Zhensa' means '(you) jerk', and when said to someone with familiarity, '(you) loser'. The suffux,  '-ge' simply adds the notion of hatred, and is used in reference to 'you'. Redundancies in the language are no error, and can be used to imply stronger feelings to the subject.

In short, "Mirwind, you jerk, I hate you". Without his Lordly title as a Hegemon affixed to 'Mirwind', it's saying Van doesn't quite recognize Rathien as a high-rank superior, but rather a 'one rank above' superior, or in the same rank, but not a friend.

He also pretty much dropped his accent, save for the insult. The clue-in is the Van's little grammar improvement.

Bluh. Ok, that's all. And, normal male behavior is plenty pervy, but that certainly wasn't a very perverted description Caleb wrote. Heh.

... I've been doing this RP style for seven years, man! I love role-playing in a forum~

Just a note: Rathien and Ewa are sitting down.  Well, Ewa's sitting down, Rathien's in more of a crouch, I think, and they're both parallel to the door (not one in front of or behind the other).  Not that it really changes your post, I don't think.  It's just nice when we're all spatially oriented in the same way.  Good to see you again ^_^
