Yeee! Someone somewhere decided that Erah'sae has a white streak in his hair. I don't remember who did it first.

Thanks for making aer of my cat, Fox!

It's grown on me over the years.

Thanks @straycatte.bsky.social !

I am hoping to drag a number of Keepers of the Moon and those who tolerate us out to this wonderful gathering where, conveniently, food is being fished up.

What more could a hungry Shroud Cat want?

Lets pick a day and do this entirely in character, perhaps?

Suddenly, I noticed a faint smell of tuna. I looked over at my office partner, Dr. Hunt. She was grinning by the machine she'd built.

"It works!"

"Nice," I said. "What is it?"

"What you smell is the ghost of tuna!"

I felt something brush against my leg. The office filled with ghostly purring.

I'm a firm believer in the concept of the 'living world' style of role-play, It's something I've missed from a very old, now gone, MMO where the story progressed the world month to month and 'now' was always 'now'.

It aids immersion gives others an easy way to weave stories together.

I look at how the MSQ events would impact the common folk in the game. Many things that happen are world shaping events. The Dragon Song War, the Liberation of Ala Mhigo, the Final Days.

These things have far more meaning meaning for the world beyond the fight with Nidhog or the Endsinger.

For those whose OCs are primarily Non WoL, how do you handle the existence of the MSQ? Do you have a separate WoL? Does your lil guy get to play pretend before resuming their regular life? Or do you just ignore it?

If I may make a humble suggestion...

I'm seeing a ton of posts where people are reposing some atrocity and giving it airtime while saying "this is bad".

Don't advertise for them. Say 'they're bad, here's why' but don't give their kofi, commission, portfolio links, etc.

Don't give them business.

I don't know how to describe it Sif... but your chocobo has molted funny.

There is something very typically South Shroud of a scene where one Keeper of the Moon is getting his arm stitched up by another. A third Miqo'te sits near by asking them for help with this week's crossword puzzle.

None of the three seem phased by any of this.

Just Buscarron's Druther's things.

Erah'sae would drive an old Chevy impala he found it abandoned before the Calamity and fixed it up. It's seen a lot of different parts over the years. It's been repainted, the doors are scavenged from a different model and the AC only works on Tuesdays, but it never fails to get where it's going.

Buscarron's is happening tonight. I've just been dealing with too many things to make a proper post.

Going on, well, whenever, out in the South Shroud of Mateus for some walk up, open world roleplay at Buscarron's Druthers.

Come join us. #ffxivrp #ffxiv

Sorry for the very late post.

Given the number of people on my XIV feed also posting Love and Deep space stuff to their feeds, I think there is a not insignificant overlap.

Easily overlooked. He kind of blends in with the ambient Aetheric noise in Eorzean. He's not even in the adventuring cast, just this regular fellow.

What does your OC look like to someone with soul sight?

Ok... So for the next catch window...

Having to dodge the Wood Wailers this week? We'll tell em we haven't seen ya.

Head on out for some open-world, walk-up role-play in the South Shroud of Mateus at Buscarron's Druthers where all are welcome at 8PM US Eastern with some getting here early at 5PM For our EU friends.

An old Elezen Wood Wailer looks for someone outside of the gates of Buscarron's Druthers in the South Shroud not realizing that they are probably secreted away in the building behind them.

An innocent bystander's reactions to overheard plans.

A wall mounted Dhalmel reacts to plans overheard nearby in shock and/or horror.

The EU crowd is also starting to gather regularly again. I have it on good faith there's a certain Marmot tribe Seeker of the sun and a few others that will be lingering early at around 5-6PM US Eastern (give or take).

erroch @erroch.bsky.social · 21d

Tonight, in the depths of the South Shroud, there is a trading most where all are welcome. Even you.

That's what the guard at the entrance said at least. Lets find out.

Join us for walk up, open world roleplay at Busarron Druthers in the South Shroud of Mateus at 8PM US Eastern.

An armored figure leans against thee wall of Buscarron's Druthers inviting an evening traveler in with thee words, "All travelers are welcome here. Even you".

Yeah, I understand that. It's an inevitability that once easily procured places for gathering people together that it would happen. The moderation issues get exasperated by the real time nature of discord as well.

I'm just being old and nostalgic while wearing my rose colored glasses.

If the fishing is the game, thave we gone back to ARR? Angling Really is Required.

I tried using the timing sheet once and it felt so spread out and disjointed. For me it was so much harder to visualize.

So I have my own thing that, when others see it, it confuses the hell out of them.

Brains are all different and need different methods. If it works, it works.

Kahless tells us that in the face of censors, of oppressors who would use your words against you even if true, you must speak out all the more loudly. All you do by silencing yourself voluntarily is save them the effort of silencing you.

I do miss the days where there were one or two massive forums that served as hubs where different groups had their own spaces. There was a lot of good visibility back in the ffxiv-roleplayer.com days.

I won't pretend it wasn't without it's problems. I just miss not having to juggle 200 discords.
