OOC: Somehow I don't agree with that. Sorry to contradict the leader just after I joined, *winces* but for example, go look in the Sea Patrol. People are using 'watched' instead of 'watches' etc. I'd say that sometimes we switch, like in the dormrooms we go to present tense, but not when we are seriously Rping. Do you see what I mean, or am I radically wrong, and what I always have thought to be present tense was actually past? I hope not... *Willow smiles slightly, knowing that by slowing down the group, he would not be on Ashnel's good side. Nodding at the introduced beasts, he closes his eyes, an unusual way of saying a quiet greeting. Then the otter's face creases into seriousness as he turns back to Terragon.* Well then, should we be off? And on the way, tell me where we're going. *He whispers the last sentence in Terri's ear so that Ashnel can't hear.

OOC: Terragon, the majority of DABers now use past-tense. But Flame, we use present-tense here. Honestly, you're supposed to RP in the same tense as the starter of the quest.

OOC: Ha! I stop RPing for two months and the place falls apart without me, lol. Apologies, Willow, I thought DAB was still using present-tense. *Bows as she adds,* Also, don't ever worry about contradicting me. As Robin will no doubt tell you, just once in a while my ego does need to be told - in no uncertain terms - to shut up.
BIC: *Terragon grins to Robin, and admits to her and Willow:* T'be completely honest, I'm not too sure myself. We're looking for Romula Heathrel, a self proclaimed fortune-teller... though, again, I've not a clue why. *Ashnel glances back suspiciously, hearing the whisper, but not the words.*

OOC: Somehow I don't agree with that. Sorry to contradict the leader just after I joined, *winces* but for example, go look in the Sea Patrol. People are using 'watched' instead of 'watches' etc. OOC: Actually, that is a problem, if you'll be more specific of the location. As the roleplay leader of Terralux, I try to keep everybody within the guidelines, but I can't always make it on and stuff will slip past my guard. However, make sure that they are actually using past tense, and not using the verb in a prepositional phrase in conjuction with the verbs willing, going, wanting, etc. Those are indeed present tense, as the past tense verb is describing the action and isn't the action itself. BIC: *Geordie waves to Willowflame as Terragon introduces him, grinning widely. He takes a swig from his flask and offers it around the circle.* A startin' toast, lads an' lasses? Nae fer ye, Terri, *he adds, shaking his head.* Ah tain't carryin' ye till ye're sober eno' te stand agin...

Again? *Terragon looks baffled, and begins to wonder why she can't remember this particular occasion. Ashnel jogs back to the squirrels and otter, willing to delay the quest for a moment if it for the sake of potcheen.*

*Geordie laughs and hands the flask to Ashnel, gesturing for him to pass it around the circle after he's had some.* Ach, lassie, ye donnae kenn what happen'd tha' noight? Ash, care te refresh her mem'ry fer me lad? *he says, winking slyly at the other male squirrel.*

*Terragon glances from Ashnel to Geordie, and finally slaps Ashnel - not too hard - in the face.* I didn't say anything! *The squirrel moans, as he takes a gulp from the flask, and holds it out to Robin and Willow. Ashnel pretends to grow even more indignant as Terragon goes to stand with a smug expression next to Geordie.*

OOC: I guess I really can't say much more. But Terri, DAB RPers have been using past-tense since I was Tarquin, a whiiiiile back. Nonetheless, I agree with Geordie. Use present-tense, but personally, its up to the starter of the quest. *shrug*

OOC: OOC: Terragon, the majority of DABers now use past-tense. But Flame, we use present-tense here. Honestly, you're supposed to RP in the same tense as the starter of the quest. Thanks Stoakly. Yes, I know that. I was just saying that about DAB. I don't know how to quote other people's word's other than just one, so 'scuse me if this post looks bad. Phew. But I don't like doing that anyway. Location: DAB on the Sea Patrol, in the "Out in the Courtyard" thread. I'll try to stay in the guidelines. I kinda' thought they have been using it for a while. BUt here I will certainly try to keep to present tense. Phew, that was hard. Could someone please tell me how to show the people's names I've quoted rather than just the first one? BIC: *Willow smiles apologetically at Robin, having suddenly realized he had completely ignored her.* Hello! *He turns and nods to Geordie, before turning to listen to Terri again.* Rommel Heathrel, hmm...*Willow mumbles the word's underneath his breath, his mind turning the word's over in his head. Taking the offered flask from the slapped Ashnel, Willow winks at him.* Thanks. *Chuckling inside at the antics of the squirrel siblings, Willow grins slightly and takes a swig. Gasping at the taste, Willow was used to drink a lot less potent. Wiping his mouth, the otter turned to Robin, inquiring about this incident mentioned by Geordie,* Do you know of what he's talking about? *Glancing at Terri, he was a touch surprised when Geordie suddenly leaned over and gave her a peck and hug. His eyebrows rise, thoughts churning in his brain. Are these two a pair? The otter smiles at the thought.*

*Terragon smiles up at Geordie, but stands awkwardly nearby when the grey squirrel suggests a toast. She hears Willow's question and sees his expression, but as the leaderess looks back in Geordie's direction, she decides Robin can explain everything, whether she likes strangers or not. Ashnel meanwhile gives a slightly nod, and a twitch of a smile in agreement with Geordie's toast. Already, the dark squirrel has fallen back into a sullen silence, and seems to be more concerned with the journey ahead again.*

*Robin grins at the otter and winks.* No I have absolutely no idea what these two are talking about. *Then with a more serious tone of voice she adds.* I really don't. Oh and I should warn you try not to be verwhelmed when you see Romula. You'll know when you see her, just try not to be too...overwhelmed. *Then the squirrelmiad notices him staring at Terragon and Geordie and smiling oddly. She raises her eyebrows. Observant little otter aren't you? Robin thinks in the privacy of her own brain. She turns to Geordie.* Would you like to carry on telling us about this mysterious happening? *She is nearly laughing out loud but manages to hold it in.*

No, we should be going. *Ashnel and Terragon speak simulataneously.* Thank you, *Both mutter at each other and frown. The red squirrel shakes her head distractedly as though flicking water from her fur.* Could whoever's got the potcheen return it to Geordie now? *Ashnel asks loudly, looking as though he may leave without the others again.*
OOC: Wow. It has taken them a long time to leave. Inactive thread, lol.
