night!

He knows that sound, it's the sound of a small pocketknife being flicked closed.

When he goes back up, she'll be lurking.

Ayup.

He saw the tail, he knows she heard.

And she took the opportunity to mess with Murph.

:D

(SPITBALLS!)

Because, well. He makes it easy.

He was eavesdropping. How RUDE.

But for all anyone knows, he just had a nervous tic.

*grin*

Probably won't see me before evening tomorrow - meeting in morning, then work lunch, and then catching up on what the meeting delayed. But if I get a chance for some slow play, I'll hit you up!

Sounds good. Can PBEM if you want

Or in here, a Room In Firnost.

It's not my first choice, I have trouble keeping the scene straight when I have to page back through messages in Gmail. That could work! Will let you know if things are sluggish. :) Night!

Night!

Do it here, for the sake of voyeurs!

Oh my!

yo?

yo

Hihi

It does kinda bug me how audible sluagh are in Firnost. Or rather, how easy to hear they seem to be. In a normal bar or restaurant setting, even without blaring music or a crowd, you wouldn't expect to hear someone whispering a few tables away (unless you had very keen hearing and didn't mind how obvious you would be, in having to move closer, etc). Sure, it helps for gameplay, but it kinda downplays an integral feature of the kith

Agreed. I've already made it clear to people how hard it is to hear....had a friend with laryngitis across the table, and couldn't hear her in a restaurant. I LARP'ed a sluagh, and when I had to whisper I literally couldn't be heard while everyone was walking -together in a group- on the sidewalk unless I tapped a shoulder and made them lean in. Realistically, they should be doing the same...tap someone's shoulder, and have someone (who doesn't whisper) repeat to the others what has been said. Just because you can read it, doesn't mean you can hear it.

So any character not a sluagh (or with sharpened senses, like Pynki and Bunny) ...holding a conversation at another table shouldn't be able to hear it, period.

Yeah, like when Madeline came over - she would have been able to hear Earl, most likely (even a whispering troll is likely a rumbling bass note) but the others, radio static at best.

The non-sluagh who legitimately can that I know of are: Pynki, Bunny, possibly Connor, and ironically, Heather, who can sharpen her senses via Hedge magic.

Yeah. But I didn't want to brush the player off, you know?

I've tried to play it, like Natira not hearing Zara when she says hi from across the room. But I just ended up looking like I was ignoring her.

Connor possibly, but he's fair scatterbrained and probably not listening. Voices, blah blah.. static statiic static WALK static "WHAT WAS THAT?

Or suddenly sitting up because he hears something outside that catches his attention.

Way I sometimes have had my non-sluagh do it, is notice they're looking, and give them a puzzled look, like, "You talking to me?" ...doesn't work when others seem to hear them fine, though, you end up looking like you're playing a deaf character. 🙂

Or a rude one, or that the PLAYER isn't paying attention.

It's too bad there isn't a consensus - like, if you're using (tiny text), then you can't hear them unless you A) Have sharp hearing and are listening or B) are right there

In a perfect world, eh?

Just like Ice (who likely has the highest WP in the whole room) looked scared of sidhe because he had difficulty talking to an Appearance 6 sidhe directly, when the goblin was making jokes with the guy. 😛

Yeah. You know, that would be a good guideline.

I DO try to play the kith stuff out, I doubt he could deal with an App 7 sidhe.

I probably shouldn't use the tiny as much as I do, at that point, but I've gotten used to it with Pynki 'cuz she's small and sneakish. Probably could start using big text though it seems weird to me. :)

I really did like how you shutdown Bunny last night. Cold, man - but so true.

I always took it to mean she was speaking low, like how some women do the vocal fry thing.

Yeah, she's not loud unless she's obviously so. :)

What, by scolding Earl?

Like, cussing at someone, caps, etc

Or the kids thing?

No, by telling her that she was about to run off again on the kids she wanted to take in

basically.

Yeah. Well, Ice is kind of blunt. They have 5 people, so even if a few die, there's still some left to carry on. If Bunny dies, then no one is left but Simon, who is flaky like a pie crust.

And he saw how Connor looked the night before.
