Vanalya remembers things basically through a combo of imagined sound, scrawled words, and onomatopoeia. And it's hard to forget a guy she pissed off, got in a shouting match with, and then kicked out (and I imagine that to be the first and last time she did something like that), just like it's hard to forget someone who speaks in somewhat simplified blackletter when most people just speak in casual handwriting (distinctive voice = distinctive script). It makes sense to me, anyways.
Wasn't sure if Elun would feel Nicholas was prying if he continued asking, and Nicholas would avoid saying or asking something that might offend someone.
Good point. I've been doing present, but I am happy to switch to past. I think past is generally easier to manage without faltering. Are there any strong preferences either way?

To be perfectly honest, I'd prefer present, as it's what I'm accostumed to usually post in IC, but if you want to use past, I have no problem with that.

I prefer present too. Past often feels odd since we are describing things as they are happening in the now. But there's something to be said about the feel of reading in past tense, like reading a novel, so I'm cool with trying it out.
I always use present tense when I'm roleplaying (both DMing and playing), but I can switch to past tense if I have to.
Knowledge (religion) (1d20+6)[8], to figure out what Vanalya already knows about ghouls. EDIT: with rolls like that, she probably thinks they're fey or cookies or something.
Yeah, I can write in any tense, but I find that I tend to, without being aware of it sometimes, write in whatever tense is previous. So we should definitely agree on a single tense, and present seems both the best, and favored by more, so that's my vote.

I have more experience in writing in the past tense, even though I rp in the present at face to face games. I can learn to write present though if everyone else decides for it.
Seems most of us are wanting present, so lets do present. In the past I have usually done past, so I apologize if I falter.
@Ajadea: Vanalya has heard (seen) the word "ghoul" before. Or maybe it was "ghoulish"... she doesn't remember.
@Strawberries: Evin knows that ghouls are undead who eat corpses.
@Jallorn: Oh crap, I forgot the a witch prepares spells. I was trying to find a way around this... Eh, I could just make a house rule that if you aren't actually recovering any slots you can prepare in half the time.
@Jallorn: As a one time thing I'll let you retroactively modify your spells memorized today. I don't want to hold anything up over something like that.

Sulet: Kind of like Jim Carrey and Deadpool, but without the voices in his head, he hopes.
In other news, Cardea's gonna have like, eight million free hours tomorrow to do whatever Cardea wants to do. During that time, Cardea is gonna draw him some Sulet. Do people want Cardea to draw them some portraits for their characters? Cardea would love to draw people some character portraits.
Cardea loves him some third person.

Go for it. He's a large, muscled teenage mutant ninja turtle high orc in breast plate, maybe carrying a falchion.
I'll do my best.

Cardea understands and accepts this, but in no way will stop the third person. The third person is a horrible entity who threatens his squishy organs with sharp objects if he does not copy the third person's speech pattern.

I can't find anything past hair and eye color.

Right now would be awesome.

The man with the lute is not very tall but gives the impression of being supple and agile. He has a lean, hatchet-like face, and his age shows in the little crinkles around his eyes and mouth. His brown hair is tied back in a ponytail. One of his distinctive characteristics are his hands, long and wiry, which he seems uncapable of keeping still.
Also, brown pants and white shirt under a leather armor, earring to his left ear this kind of earring), and a string bracelet on his wrist, the kind a child could make.

Vanalya is a petite teenager, with long blonde hair pushed back by a hairband and an oval-shaped face. Her eyes are maybe a bit too large proportionally, and are bright blue, as in really bright to the point of being unnatural. She has long legs and really doesn't have curves at all. I'd prefer her to be drawn out of armor (unless she has to go out and 'hit things with a stick for gold', as she has put it at least once, she isn't going to be wearing any armor willingly), and probably in a loose, simple, shirt, bodice, and skirt, which is her preferred outfit when she doesn't have to be ready to do a lap around the city or whatnot. She has a simple copper bangle around her left wrist, but no other jewelry.
I'd love a portrait if you have the time, as I can never find anything fitting on the interwebs.
Alexander is short, skinny, has grey eyes and light-brown, straight hair(the kind that just lies on the top of the head like a dead thing), and dark stubble on his jawline and around his mouth. He wears a jacket over his studded leather, a dagger and sap on his right hip and a coiled whip on his left. Add hooded cloak at will. If you're drawing far enough down, he wears boots, one of which has another dagger strapped to it. All his clothing is patched and ragged. No jewelry.
Elun is very healthy, slender and lightly muscled. His bright green eyes twinkle with a smile just waiting to break out, and his ears just poke out of his neat, brown hair that falls to the base of his skull. His features are, like any elf, delicate and graceful, but there is a slight aura of otherness to him, he wields power most don't. His clothes are loose, and he favors blues and grays, but there are no dangly bits, those can be a nuisance when making potions and stuff. He carries no armor, only a small cudgel attached to his belt on the right, and a pouch of healing supplies on the left.
And don't forget his black cat familiar whose eyes are the same color and shade as his.

Um... I'm not sure if I should have made some sort of roll for my last IC post. I figured since he is talking just to Hagos, a gather information check wasn't necessary, but please tell me if I should have rolled it (or roll it for me, whatever).

If anyone wants to post something else in the city, do it tonight. In, oh... about 20 hours, I'll move everyone to the graveyard. If you want to purchase things from Elun's shop, feel free to do so IC or OOC. (IC is, as always, preferred.)
@Jallorn: While this was not explicitly discussed, I hope you are fine with the notion of keeping your stores assets separate from your own. While your store may bring you net revenue per month or something, the other's purchases will not be going directly in your pocket. You can however, choose to sell at the standard rate rather than the inflated one (or you can price gouge your allies). Also feel free to expand on the details of your shop, etc.

I was thinking sell halfway between cost and market value.
So 3/4s the normal price.
Hey, I still gotta make a profit here.
Also, does that mean the potions of antipoison and antitoxin I purchased made for my shop are not part of my merchandise?

That would be the idea, if you had something else in mind, I'm open to discuss it. I just don't want your character to have the ability to liquidate his assets and buy whatever he wants (granted since magic doesn't work as usual, there aren't really too many things you might want to buy). Also, naturally, saying "I made this antitoxin and I sell it for 10 gp" doesn't work quite right because the cost of running a business, advertisement, theft, the loss from products which get too old to work well and other things that aren't factored in. Basically, I think it is cleaner to keep them separate than us trying to realistically model the whole thing.
Buying an Anti-Plauge, counting on you guys if I get paralyzed. Figure the disease is a bit more dangerous to. so that's 37 gold 50 silver at 3/4 market value right?

I wouldn't liquidate my assets, the shop is Elun's home now. Also, making stuff costs money and time, but yeah, I agree that modeling it would be too much trouble. Mind if I rearrange my items a tad?
Two notes though: I intend to still spend time making stuff, I'd have to or I wouldn't have anything to sell. Also, if I ever take things from my stock, I will still pay money (at cost though) since it's all mine, and anything I use still costs me.

I think so, don't remember the price, but yeah, I think so.
