Great, thanks! Also, by way of Branwen's challenge: it would be fun if it was related to that incident with the bandits and her lack of control over her magic, if that works. I'll see if I can get a post in today

That works... But the challenge doesn't have to do with the first post. I say that only cause your wording made it seem like you thought it did. Sorry if I was wrong.

If it's not too much to ask, could everyone get in their first post by February first?

No problem, working on mine now. And I know, just thought I'd begin tossing ideas out there and seeing what sticks. I like to have a plan of some sort.

Should I include the conversation with Sylvetta or would you like to post that? I can just stop at her asking to see her, if you prefer (I get weird rping other peoples' characters. I know it's a SB and stuff and I need to get over it, but....yeah....)

You just have to think of it as a collaborative novel. That's what separates YWS Storybooks from traditional roleplay. When we sign up to write this with you, we agree to trust you with our characters! :D

True enough. Still, if he'd like to run the conversation he can.

I can run it if you want, but Sylvetta is pretty generic... I'm not too worried about you incorrectly portraying her character. Unless you are really reluctant, feel free to run the conversation.

Also, @featherstone9086, if you're ever worried about writing the character in a way the creator didn't envision, you can always ask them to check the post over after you post it and tell you if you did anything wrong!

I'm mostly just used to more standard rping and this'll take getting used to, but thanks for the hint, @Mage! (You're always so helpful <3 ^_^)

That post was perfect! Sylvetta's character was just right. Only complaint was that you called Sylvetta a woman. While she is a woman, she still is only twenty four, which is met with some controversy. I'm not asking you to change it, just for everyone to keep it in mind.

Well, my character is 21 so she'd be a woman in her mind.

I'll get to work on that first post, but i have some questions that I need answered before I can write more.

One, where does my character go to join the defense guard, and what is it like?

Two, why do they accept her when she's a nineteen year old with no prior combat training?
Are they desperate, or low in numbers? do they just let everyone join?
