All,

Was writing up the background for my newish (2 interactives so far) character Osin and it occurred
to me that it'd be much more fun to have a PC wife rather than an NPC one. If any of the fine ladies
of TT are interested in a linked background like this then just give me a shout. Never done a linked
background before and think it might be fun. Drop me an Email if you're interested.

Marios, I'm pre-emptively saying "no" to you...

;-)

What about my new interactive character Osinette?
Marios
P.S. NPC wives are better, you can skin them to make the Pink Armour
of Invulnerability (you need Fur and Skin Hardening from Wilderfuge
though).

Of course. In the spirit of being a complete munchkin, I withdraw my request for a PC wife - not!

Dear Jimbob,

But, Jimbob, you might be forced to act and roleplay feelings
for someone that you don't actually have! Wouldn't that intolerably
restrict your roleplay experience and narrative conclusion?

Well that was the point really. All my characters tend to be the 'annoy others and hope they don't
get too pissed off with you' type. I figured it'd be fun to be 'tied' into worrying about someone.

Of course, the risk of disrupting my roleplay experience with such improvised acting is one that I'm
taking seriously. For instance, I don't think Marios could phys-rep an alluring bride convincingly
so I've ruled him out in the name of realism and avoiding an unnecessary suspension of belief.
Frankly, all of this should not get in the way of complete psychopathy too much.

Dear Mark,

That's why I can't ne Jimbob's wife - if it happened OOC as
wll, it would introduce a lot of stress into the house.

Although Mark probably qualifies as a good substitute. I'm not living with _him_ next year...

Aren't you brunette too? I considered asking Stale Dan, but to be honest I think he's way too
feminine...

I am? The last time I looked I was blonde.

Too plump and submissive - the role wouldn't really stretch him.

Exactly. I think that the only real option left is dunc. He certainly is blonde. And certainly not
submissive. Could make for some interesting bedroom scenes though...

How can you sob into the bottom of your BEER if you drink coke? Piss up
equals vast amounts of alcohol

So...how did the singles night go then (apologies if this question has
already been answered: I use google and so only get the newsgroup
updated 1-2 times per day).

Anyone pull?

It was a great night. First casualty was (so I'm told) at 9pm and was forced to retire drunk. Dunc
turned me down again... ;-)

In fact it was a fantastic night of drunken debauchery that will not be matched for at least...
...five days or so!

*hugs*
