I have faith in you, Silver. You'll get there eventually. Sleep well!

Posted! :)

I can't get over Ruthie being so lucky - he's definitely doing good in this roleplay. :P

And your last posts were great, @SilverNight and @GrandWild! I'm very intrigued by the old man and Nikolai getting the very beginnings of his memories back. >>

I'm also getting a kick out of the long, extended thought process that Raptor had when he saw the old man.

Ah, thanks @Magebird! This should be fun. :P

I only just realized that I must be writing “he bit his lip” a lot because it’s something Nikolai does when he gets nervous and y’all know he gets nervous a lot. He’s got a really sore lip now. >>

also poor Elias is very worried about his suit, he probably wishes he’d worn something else ;-;

Elias values routine and stability, which is not something this or his profession really have. He's constantly uptight :(

Why is that a mood? >>

Also, I was just about to write my post and came to the absolutely wonderful/horrible realization that I could have Raptor fall back and maybe reveal a tiny bit of what he's hiding underneath his armor. >>

i think he'll cover it up before anyone could see, but i'm definitely considering it now because i'm terrible at drawing out reveals

The deed has been done~

I feel like Raptor showing a bit of his face and panicking is like women centuries ago being scandalous by showing their ankles. >>

Also, @SilverNight, if Nikolai did catch sight of anything, he would have probably seen a flash of white!

I feel like there could be a great meme made out of that comparison but I don't have the brain for it right now.

Same! Maybe the Spiderman meme, with one being the women showing their ankles & the other being Raptor showing a sliver of his face?

Also I love how I've been so focused on having something else reveal Raptor's secret that I forgot I can just have him be his own downfall.

it's what he deserves

@Magebird ahhhhhhh I’m not sure how to have him react ;-;

also “Krak?” seemingly being a word for food/eating made me crack up for some reason. :P

Oh no! :(

It's okay if he doesn't end up noticing anything! I just wanted to have Raptor's reveal start a little bit so it wouldn't come out of nowhere later on. c:

assuming whoever might read it wasn't seeing me desperately wish Raptor's secret got revealed here in the ooc thread

And I agree! I didn't see the last post before my own, but I love that whole exchange. :)

I think I’ll just have Nikolai start to look over when he falls but then hear Raptor telling them not to look and he turns away before he gets a glimpse. He doesn’t want to upset poor Raptor ;-;
