Koryn always wondered what a descing/RP class was like, thought I might take a peek. :)

Shardae smiles, and needs this class, so she can desc' a good reason for Fyren to give her a '%'

Rand smiles,"Yes you RP out the lesson if you like. However I just can't help myself.;-) Can someone log this.;-)"

Agrajag is logging

Rand thanks Jag,"Everyone ready?"

Alexas nods.

Ilyena nods

Shardae nods.

Koryn nods too, just to be different. :)

Agrajag smiles, "I'm ready"

Rand thinks this might get interesting,"Okay we're going to go over a few basic rules of descing."

Shardae smiles, listening to Rand.

Ilyena smiles and nods.

Shardae says, "isn't hell ooc?"

Rand grins,"Number 1) Try to include as much descriptions as you can.  "

Rand says, "yes but posing is still a fun thing.""

Agrajag nods to Shardae, "yes"

Koryn says, "How do you define that Rand?"

Alexas gets out a notebook to write stuff down.

Koryn says, "Wouldn't it be better to say include as much 'meat' in your descriptions?"

Shardae smiles, "Ok people, the most important rule about describing, is include as much descriptions as you can."

Shardae smiles, "isn't that the point?" she asks.

Rand grins,"Okay example. If you have a wooden box then you might tell how it looks , if there is an odor that permeates from it, etc. Not necessarily. The meat of the description is the length really. How much it takes to say what it is."

Koryn believes there needs to be a limit though.  I see people with 40 line descriptions, and I don't even bother to read them. That's just too much.

Rand says, "Here is a simple description of a box: "

G'vik materializes from places unknown.

Soft amber paints across the outside of the soft smooth cherry wood box. A soft indescribable smell drifts from it. A mixture of the sweet wood smell and the bitter wax. Small metal hinges fasten the lid to the base. The inside is line with plush purple velvet to offset the soft amber of the outside.

Rand grins,"Can anyone pick out the description?"

Alexas looks up,"The smell?"

Shardae smiles, "all you said was it had a hinge, and a lining. you just added elaborate words, is that what yer supposed to do?

Rand nods,"That was perhaps a bit much to show right away. When descing it is important to have visualised in your mind what your are trying to describe. Without a clear picture of the item your desc will not be as complete as if you took the time to visualize." Turning to Alexas,"Yes. Some items will have a certain smell about them. Such as most wood have a distinct aroma to them. Also flowers would have a smell to them. Other things the smell wouldn't be as noticeable.  Such as boxes. "

Koryn says, "Of just the very basic portion that defines the box you mean?"

Koryn blah's, lag and locked right offline.

Ilyena nods, listening.

Rand looks over at Shardae,"When describing you want to explain how something looks and feels. So using colours and fabrics is a good way when explaining lining. For a person you'd want to explain hair colour, eye colour, skin colour, height, build, and anything that can clearly describe them. Also when writing it  usually is good to be concise. Flowery words are good but over use of such can result in a long and tedious desc for the person who must read it. After all you are writing so that someone else may see.

Rand grins,"Also you want to keep passive voice down. While it is easier to use the passive voice when writing it doesn't always necessarily make the desc better. Sometimes (usually) if you avoid it the desc comes out easier to read.  Now I want to do a little excercise. Each person will give a one line description of  a box. Bearing in mind what the previous line was. You want to eventually craft an image of the object. We will all be working on the same object."

Rosin says, "what was the previous line?"

Agrajag tries to remember what exactly passive voice is

Rand says, "I meant line but I am in raw so my bad typing shows up pretty often. I don't catch all my typos either.""

Rosin says, "i am in raw too ;(   what was the previous line i meant"

Rand says, "Passive voice is where the item is not doing the action. Such as saying saying an image was engraved on instead of lies upon."

Rand says, "This first line is 'Before you lies a small box of deep mohagany wood.'"

Inside the box, fits a soft vynil cloth to protect both the box, and the contents, not to mention adding to its appearance. Closing the box, is a metal latch, sealing the contents inside safely. Radiating from the medium sized box, fumes the familiar smell of white oak.

That Desc'n is from me. :)

Shardae, that is. :)

Rand says, "One line Shardae. So your's would be :Inside the box, fits a soft wynil cloth to b(protect both the box and the contents, not to mention adding to its appearance.)"

Rand thinks,"Can anyone tell me what might be wrong with that line besides a typo or two?"

Alexas frowns, has to go...sorry...rl calls.

Ilyena says, "Along the borders on the lid of the box runs rampant dolphins entertwined with strings of bubbles."

Ilyena hrms.    "Dunno."

Rand says, "a) It uses passive voice to do what would have been better with active and b) it could have been said more concise."

Ilyena nods.

Rand says, "A better way would have been. A piece of attractive vinyl lines the base and sides of the box gives a protective and attractive finish to the inside."

Ilyena nods again, sleepily.

You say, "and the second line?"

Closing the box, is a metal latch, sealing the contents inside safely. Inside the box, fits a soft vinyl cloth to protect both the box, and its contents. Radiating from the medium sized box, fumes the familiar smell of white oak. (how is that?) -Shardae

Rand says, "Ilyena's could have been improved as well. Possibly something more like this :

Dolphins intertwine with bubbles to frame the edges of the box, every detail intricately carved to

allow the beauty of the craftsmanship shine through."

Rand says, "Right now we are doing one-liners. At the end of the class you will be asked to submit a desc to me. Then it will be a full one. Until then please follow the instructions."

Closing the box, is a metal latch, sealing the contents inside safely. A piece of attractive vinyl lines the base and sides of the box gives a protective and attractive finish to the inside. Radiating from the medium sized box, fumes the familiar smell of whte oak. (how is that?) -Shardae

Rand says, "One line Shardae."

Rand says, "Okay Jag would you like to give me a one line desc of the box bearing in mind the inside and the lining of the edge for the lid have been desced.,?"

Shardae says, ":nods, "Closing the box, is a metal latch, sealing the contents inside safely. A piece of attractive vinyl lines the base and gives a protective and attractive finish to the inside. "

You say, "Finely crafted hinges hold the lid on, smooth curves accenting the shapes of the dolphins."

Shardae frowns, "that is still 2 lines.."

Rand says, "One line where you say a single sentance. How's that?""

Shardae nods, "A piece of attractive vinyl lines the base and gives a protective and attractive finish to the inside. "

Rand says, "Does anyone have any questions before I continue?"

Shardae shakes her head, "nope."

You say, "only if you want to make comments on my line"

Rand nods,"Okay jag you need nothing as far as the basics go. However you will see what is needed during this next part. The second part is adding colour and material. When describing you want to detail the colour of an object and what it is made out of. A shimmering gown flows about her is not as good as A shimmering harper blue gown of the finest sisal, flows about her."

Continuing,"So it is the same when you are describing a person. Saying the texture is also needed. Someone can have coarse, soft, rubbery, or some such skin texture. The same is true for a fabric..

Agrajag nods

Rand grins,"So you have that piece of vinyl you can use an exact colour./ Also Mohagany is a dark wood and has a deep brown almost black colouring and a rich smell to it if real close."

Agrajag nods, "the extra color and texture add a lot to descs"

Rand says, "hold on folks my nose just gave me pause.""

Rand lols and stops the blood and comes back,"Okay. Yes it does. The more description you can add the better. However always remember to try and keep it concise. When you become

reptitious it becomes a problem. Also avoiding the use of the word it is good."

You say, "easy to say, not quite as easy to do :)"

Rand smiles slightly,"Who ever said descing was easy? Actually it is quite a bit easier than you think. Many sentences that begin with it can be combined into the previous.

Alisia takes a seat to listen. Learning to desc.. ooooo...

Agrajag nods and hopes Alisia doesn't get lost

Rand grins and hopes so to. "Certain items more readily take types of descriptions than others.  Material is usually for an object such as a box, a knife, a dress, or some sort of outfit, that kind of thing. Other take smells like food items. You get the idea. You want to give the reader an idea of what these are. If anyone would like to know how to desc a specific object better this is when we will do it. The main reason I want to cover this is that items such as clothes are everyday and would be best to be covered now in a dsescing class."

Alisia nods. "That would be useful.."

Agrajag can't think of a particular item he needs help with, so lets just do the clothing

Rand nods,"For clothing you can approach it from one way or another. You can either work from bottom to top or top to bottom. When dealing with clothes you have certain fabrics that exist to be used. Thee is some important things to bear in mind when dealing with descing clothes. a) You want to be sure you remain IC. This means that when writing a desc remember what each fabric can and can not do. Example sisal can be gossamer because of the fineness of the weave while wool can not. b) When writing try to include as much of the style as possible. You want to paint a picture of your outfit." Before continuing he looks about,"Did I loose anyone yet?"

Agrajag shakes his head, "I'm still here"

[Hell] Dalaynia is just laughing at the thought of wool being gossamer

Shanahan drops down from above. "@wheeee what we learnin? :)

[Hell] Dalaynia grins at Shan "How not to use fabric" hehee

Rand smiles,"We are working on describing clothes right now. We have gone over the fundamentals."

[Hell] Rand says, "Or how to use them depending on how you look at it."

Shanahan whoohoos and gets in his boxers and poses for ya all :)

Shanahan can't desc worth a darn, I hire it out :)

Rand lols at Shanahan.;-)"Maybe you will. I will be doing some people descs after this.;-)"

[Hell] Dalaynia doesn't desc cloths that well, animals on the other hand....

Shanahan chuckles and tackles Tathyana, and pins her down, then looks for Dalay, "Hey, she is a good desc, and cute.. mmmmm hmmmm :)

Rand smiles,"Here's a few things to bear in mind o when writing for clothes. Remember what I said and then try to avoid passive voice. Anyone want me to write a sample desc to show you what I mean?"

Scaflowne raises her hand asking for the sample desc having nothing better to do.

Shanahan raises his hand shyly. "Me? :)

[Hell] Dalaynia giggles "You see a strop of coth, lying passively on the bed, gentle in nature it will go out of it's way to avoid conflict." (sorry couldn't help myself) :P

Shanahan whistles at Dalay. "I need more help like you.. :)

Shanahan steps away for a moment to write himself a note.

Scaflowne hums softly to herself reading attentively.

Rand says, "This is what I did thus far: %N wears rich sapphire cotton tunic, the simple v-neck collar starting two inches from %p neck and laced with thin strands of pastel blue strands of sisal.  Full length sleeves billow out from %p shoulder to collect at %p wrist. The tunic flows smoothly underneath the mouth of ebony cotton trousers. A leather belt wraps itself about %p waist to keep the pants in place. The pants legs flow about %p legs in smooth lines the crispness of the fabric worn away by constant wear. A pair of midnight leather boots rise up over the hem of the legs turning down an inch or so above %p ankles.(This should give you a basic idea of what I am talking about so far)"

Shanahan peeks. "Did I do something wrong, everyone is quiet :)

Rand grins,"You missed it. I'll page you with the desc."

Scaflowne claps softly, "Nice" she says frowning thoughtfully at her own then shrugging.

Shanahan chuckles. "Everyone runs from me...

Shanahan oos Rand.. "Need a job :)

Shanahan pays good :)

Rand smiles,"Did that help explain what I mean a bit better? *chuckles at Shanahan*"

Shanahan sits up next to Rand, swinging his legs. "Your good..."

Rand smiles at Shanahan,"I've been doing this awhile. When I started out I wasn't that good at making it make sense. I'm good at making it sound nice but it takes time to get both together. I could probably help you get there."

Agrajag wonders why we need to desc when we have Rand here ;)

Shanahan has been doing this a while, and has no clue :)

Alisia nods. "Sometimes I can desc, sometimes I can't."

Rand lols! Then blushes a bright crimson.;-)

Shanahan looks at Agrajag. "You have a good point :)

Shanahan says, "Although if I came to him ICly and asked him for a nice little dress, Evan might think I was strange :P"

[Hell] Dalaynia giggles "NOw that's something I'd like to see"

Shanahan chuckles

Rand smiles,"Evan doesn't have to. Goto my alt.;-) I have a weaver alt.;-)"

Shanahan says, "For you Dalay, I would do anything :)"

Agrajag suggests you go to a weaver for that, and make sure you say its for your wife ;)

[Hell] Dalaynia oo's log it! :)

Shanahan chuckles. "Page me.. I can;t for the /life/ of me find an active weaver :)

Shanahan chuckles. "Charis.. she loves to Dress me up, and put me out in front of the crowd :)

Shanahan whispers. "She is the real boss.. :)

Rand smiles,"You just got snugged by my alt Shanahan.;-) The grumpiest of the weavers.;-)"

Shanahan ooos and goes back to look.. Spam will kill ya, specially just out of the can :)

Agrajag ponders having your alt make my handfasting outfit ;)

Rand shrugs,."Go ahead. I need the commissions.;-) Shanahan. If you want spam this log is full of it.;-) Okay back to descing. There are specific weaves that can be made use of knitting for one. Fo neck times you have oval, circular, v, and open. Does anyone need an explanation of any of these terms?"

Shanahan says, "Here is the thing I don't get about descing.. I am being serious here... I just can't get details good, I mean my desc are like... He wears a tunic and trousers"

Shanahan oos Collars.. good idea.

Shardae smiles, "sorry, I was watching Judge Mills Lane"

Rand nods,"Yes that does pose a problem. What is best to do is to approach them individually. First write the description as you see it of the tunic then the trousers. Then think of the way to join them." He looks about,"That's the hardest part for a lot of people."

You say, "any suggestions on how to join two items like that?"

[Hell] Dalaynia grins "With a belt?"

Rand says, "Depending on the look you want. A belt works. You saw how the mouth of the trousers came onto the hem of the shirt. You can have the shirt flowing over the top of the trousers too. Either way you continue moving down.""

Rand grins,"Here's a bit of complexity. Some types of fabrics have a definite feel. Sisal is the coolest. While wool tends to have a scratchy feel. Cashmere exists here on HT so it is not always the case. Leather will chafe hee in Ista when it is hot so remember that when you are descing."

Shanahan thinks we should talk Bikini's :)

[Hell] Dalaynia blinks Cashmere does?  I thought Cashmeres didn' surive

Rand smiles,"Oddly enough those do exist. They're a popular mode of dress for Southern Boll.  Yes Dalaynia. Cashmere is not a fabric so much as the weave that /makes/ the fabric. That is the way it is described in the weaver manual. It has a list of fabrics that we use on HT. As well as velvet which is not quite as well done as modern but it has existed a long time on earth."

[Hell] Dalaynia nods "Ahh I had always thought Cashmere was from specific types of creatures like Kashmere goats and all" :)

Rand says, "Cashmere is Made of wool as it is a twilled fabric, but cannot be made of ovine's wool.  It can be used for rugs, shawls, and sweaters.  Chiefly used for expensive winter clothing."

Rand grins,"Any other questions before we move on to descing people?"

Agrajag shakes his head, "I can't think of any"

Aislynn waves. "I'm late. Can I play anyway?" :P

Shanahan thinks for a moment, a bit young, but cute :P

Aislynn grins.

Aislynn tries a little desc. "The firelizard is blue." How's that?

Shanahan jumps up and down and applauds?

[Hell] Dalaynia giggles

Aislynn grins, quite pleased with herself. "You mean I don't /need/ this class, then?"

Shanahan eeps and hides. "Dalay is mean

Aislynn waves to Dalaynia! *beam*

Rand smiles,""Okay now to deal with descing people. (We'll do fls in just a minute.) Okay first thing is hair. The basic colours are you all know are brown, red, blonde, and black. These colours can be adapted to be more precise. Such as sandy blone or klah brown."

Aislynn says, "Not purple?"

Dalaynia pouts at Shan and slinks off into a corner to cry. She peeks out from behind her tears to smile and wavies to Aislynn

Rand smiles,"Not as far as a /natural/ hair colour. That usually results from one of Allysons friends.;-)" He grins slightly,"Oh and anyone who acts out I get to hit with my /really/ /big/ stick.;-)

Dalaynia ooo's at Rand "Promise?"

Aislynn ducks.

Alisia has sandy blonde hair, in case anyone cares..

Aislynn looks at herself. Hrm. Mine is just blond. How /dull/...

Shanahan says, "Figures.. Blond.. :)"

Dalaynia peers at herself, mm just a mane of luxurient red hair... not very descriptive

Shanahan is ... you know I have never looked at me..

Shanahan says, "I wonder how she desced me :)"

Shanahan says, "Hey.. I'm cute :)"

Shanahan (#14797)

Firm jaw and tall stance give impression of man, long before slow drawl confirms methodical ways and careful judgements. Cyrstal blue eyes weigh passing world with controlled mirth, shadowed with tousled mop of black flopping casually over broad forhead. Slight smile lets unexpected dimples play around unforgiving mouth. Roughish scruff decorates chin, fading into flat planes of cheeks in lean features. Frame long and lanky, expressive gestures with articulate fingers as he goes about daily duties.

Resting nobley from his right shoulder down to his left side, a blue-violet velvet sash is fastened at his hip with a oval cut sapphire clasp on a fan casing of white and blue diamonds. Satin banding runs on either side of the sash and ends in a few thin tassels that brush against the cotton cloth of matching trousers. The silken shirt, white as the first snows on the mountains, meanders over his shoulders and arms in smooth waves and ends at french cuffs fastene with blue opal cufflinks. The high buttoned collar defies the fabric from which it is fashiond and stands tall to engulf his neck. The collar edging and front button closure are decorated with a blue thread cross-hatch pattern. Four silver buttons fasten the trousers closed and the fabric hugs his legs and dissapears into midcalf, wherehide boots of a blue-violet hue with a blue dragon etched at the back folded cuff.

A wide band of silver is entwined with thin silver wire, that entwines around in complex and weaving curves, adding elegance to the simple design rests on Shanahan's finger.

Vivid melody of hold regalia twines together to sit on Shanahan's shoulder. Searing dawn orange meshing with blossom of white to weave pattern of befitting knot, held binded by golden ribbons ruffling into tassle as fine crafted knot of Lord Holder bears Ista Hold's loyalty.

He is awake and looks alert.

Shanahan is 21 Turns, 9 months, and 6 days old.

Aislynn ponders... "Wheaten?  Tow?  Angelic? Ah, yes. That's it...angelic." >:)

Rand lols at Dalay,"Promise." With a soft laugh he continues,"Eye colours would be blue, green.,, brown, and hazel. These can be varied as well. Blue eyes are the oddest and can range depending. Clothes affect the colour of the eyes too.  For onething when someone is wearing white their eyes will be lighter than normal;. However you can keep the blue eyes a single colour because well most people do not know that about blue eyes."

Aislynn just has boring old, regular blue eyes too. Ais is such a /boring/ looking child.

Shanahan sits Dalay in his lap. "I don't like part of my desc.. I think I should change it.

[Hell] Rosuma wonders what's wrong with blue eyes?

Rand says, "The only reason I know is I have blue eyes RL.;-) Okay blue eyes typically come in sapphire , silvery blue, or a /really/ light blue.""

Dalaynia pouts at Shan and would rather be sitting in Lothys lap but that can't be helped which part?

Dalaynia grins "Don't forget grey-blue :)

Shardae smiles, looking at Dally, "should I log this?" lothy would /love/ this.

[Hell] Rosuma has dark blue eyes....

Aislynn says, "Or Ice-Blue. Or slate. Or sky. Or angelic. :P"

Aislynn has angelic blond hair, and angelic blue eyes.

Shanahan says, "Dodger blue?"

Aislynn grins. /Gator/ blue.

[Hell] Rosuma hehs...

Dalaynia phhts at Shardae and threatens to not give her her GSD

Shanahan rolls. "Can we say... Looser! :)

Aislynn grins, and just does /not/ like the Gators. :P

Shanahan chuckles.

Dalaynia hmms how about a pale blue, that echoes the winter sky....

Shardae smiles, "Lothar is a looser?" hmm...

Shanahan says, "No.. Gators :)"

Aislynn grins.

Shanahan says, "You can tell Lothar that though.. he loves me :)"

Shardae smiles, "we all love ya, Shan"

Shanahan says, "Who /are/ you?"

Aislynn laughs!

Shanahan feels stalked :P

Dalaynia laughs and then pokies... class???? yes no??

Shardae smiles, "I am a friend, sheesh." I am not stalking you.

Rand smiles at Dalaynia,"I was giving 3example. There are many more than what I said.  Many things exist as colours. You can take any descriptive variety and use it for the colour of eyes.."

[Hell] Dee raises an eyebrow.

Shanahan brings a bouncer..

Dalaynia eeps spam!

Shanahan points to Dee.. "Don't mess with me Shardae... :P

Shardae smiles.

Dalaynia phhts Shan "Be nice to my mentee"

Shanahan says, "She stalks me.."

Ftent looks at Shanahan, "who?"

[Hell] Dee raises an eyebrow

Shanahan chuckles. "Oh Ftent.. My hero! :)

Dalaynia patpats "Ahh is that really such a trial?"

Shardae says, "I say's I am a friend." :)"

Rand cracks a whip,"May we return to the class please?"

Dalaynia quivers at the sound of the whip and ooo's......

Aislynn sits attentively, with her angelic blue eyes and her angelic blond hair.

Shanahan eeps at the whip.

Ftent smiles, wandering what the class is aboot.

Mesira looks up suddenly, mercy. Don't kill me.

Shanahan says, "I never knew you felt like this rand..  :)"

Rand says, "This class is about Descing.""

Ftent nods.

Mesira grins.

Aislynn takes notes. *hee*

Dalaynia sits quietly on her plush pillow covered with soft velvet in bright ranbow colors

Agrajag waits for class to continue

Shardae likes her description bestest. :)

Mesira stares at the ceiling.

Shardae (#15454)

A taller looking woman with unusually large green eyes, which are usually covered with wavy blonde hair, that she continually pushes back, and keeps in a runners tail. Her soft skin, unused to manual labor has a dark complexion, and looks more used to relaxing on the beach, then working in the fields.

She is awake and looks alert.
Carrying:
    Lesson_Journal                          Oak Box

Shardae is 16 Turns, 3 months, and 2 days old.

Shanahan says, "Ah wife will protect me :)"

Mesira sighs and is bored.

Mesira returns to the place from whence she came.

Aislynn thwaps Mesira.

Shardae smiles, waiting for Rand to pose.

Rand rolls his eyes at Shanahan,"Any way back to the lesson. When descing a person you want to make sure you include their build too. That tells a person what to expect. Someone who is heavyset is not going to have the same things expected as someone who is well built."

Aislynn stalks around thickly.

Shardae wanders if people really expect more of people who have there descriptions set as strong, instead of fat.. or whatever.  Covered in rolls of skin, he resembles a pale lump with only a bit of drab brown hair to cover his head. :P

Rand nods,"If you see someone fat are you going to expect to see them doing amlot of work or would you expect that of someone who is well built?"

Dalaynia laughs "If I see someone fat I won't be surprised to see them lazying about"

Shardae smiles at Dally's remark.

Aislynn lazes about like a fat person.

Tathyana returns to the place from whence she came.

Rand nods,"Exactly Dalaynia. There are things expect of certain builds. A thin build but well toned would be someone who does excercises or work that is more toning them building. Is there anything I need to cover before I move on?"

Shardae smiles, "what kindsa work would someone who is large and built do?"

Agrajag smiles, "work at an anvil"

Aislynn thinks Smithing, Farming, ... Timberwork...

Rand nods to Aislynn and Jag,"While work like herdering, weaving, stargazing, and healing would be more toning."

Aislynn says, "Stargazing? *giggle* I think fat people could do that easily. Not very toning to adjust a telescope, is it?"

Dalaynia giggles "If they got to big though they might be able to see thorough the eye hole

Shardae adjusts the telescope, and flex's her manly muscles, "It can be."

Aislynn chuckles.

Rand uses his /really big/ stick on Dalaynia's back end."Bad girl!"

Aislynn oohs, those angelic blue eyes wide. :P

Agrajag will stay out of this sense he has a StarCraft alt..

[Hell] Charis's face disappears from the daemon.

Dalaynia smoochies Charis

Aislynn is having the time of her life, but I really should go get some work done. *sigh* RL. :P

Dalaynia snuggles Aislynn and uses her angelic eyes while she's gone

Rand smiles,"Someone who is toned can be as strong as someone built. Being built doesn't necessarily means that someone's muscles are well toned.  Kind of a distinction. Anyone can build up muscles through exercise which means that the builds are not set in stone. Got it"

Qwillan nods, but it doesn't matter as he is neither built, nor buff, nor toned...or should it be not instead of neither?

A large chest shows hints of once being thick and hard, but years have softened the muscles.  Though not flabby with fat, they still sit with the look of softeness.

Qwillan nods, "Yes, that would be my chest--sorry, I must have left it here yesterday."

Dalaynia giggles

Rand hrmmms,,,"It woks. However even there I could improve that but anyway.;-) Does anyone have further questions?"

Shardae smiles.

Dalaynia would hope that could be improved on.

Qwillan erps and peers and wonders if he walked in in the middle of a class??

Shardae smiles, "well in that case, Qwillan..." *where is that barn at, lothy always drag you off to?*

Qwillan lols!

Agrajag has to go now, but will stay logged in and logging..

Qwillan returns to the place from whence he came.

Shardae shakes er heade.

Shardae looks at that last pose and shakes her head. "There, that's better."

Rand smiles,"Any questions before we move on?"

Dalaynia shakes her fiery red mane.

Rand waits for everyone to either ask a question or shake their head.

Dalaynia peers at Adar, and supposes that means a yes...

Alisia shakes her head idly.

Ayden wonders if she has missed most of this/

Rand nods to Ayden,"We only have a couple more."

Ayden smiles.

Rand grins,"This is the second last part. That is room descs. This is perhaps one of the easiest things. Mainly because you can start from where you walk into a room and work around. You want to use Spatial order. Remember to keep your writing coherent. You don't want to be jumping about a room. As always try and avoid passive voice and long drawn out descs."

Jymi finds a large over-stuffed that's unoccupied and sinks into it over-stuffed chair. :o)

Rand smiles,"That was a pretty short section. If there are any questions about it feel free to ask."

Shardae shakes her head, "nope."

Rand smiles,"Then it is time for the assignment." he pulls out his bubbling culdron of topics."Everyone reach in and pull out a number."

Dalaynia umm 666? eheehe

Ayden grins and turns it upside down..there 999 :}

Jymi reaches into the culdron and takes the number 13.

Rand smiles,"Okay Dalaynia. You got my demonic assignment. You musty provide the desc for a person complete with clothes. This must be approved by me before it is done.;-)" Turning to Jymi,"I want a box. Description of the latch, hinges, wood, and lining must be included. "

Turning to Ayden,"Did you choose a number.? Or did you Shardae?"

Ayden picks lucky 13?

Jymi sits thinking carefully about her assignment

Dalaynia cackles

Kaelendra snugs Agrajag! Agrajag is snugged!

Alisia draws out... umm 27?

Rand says, "Jymi has that number. Pick again.""

Jymi smiles at Rand "It was 13. But umm...19?"

Ayden okies and chooses 15 :}

Jymi smiles and shuts up "I've got too many char's on at once.."

Rand smiles,"Ayden you get to describe a formal evening gorwn."

Ayden nodnods..

Rand looks to Shadrae?."Dalaynia. You had to choose the number of the beast so I gave the assignemnt for  being beatly.;_)

Dalaynia giggles and is having fun with the desc

Dala's Ghost

Deep sunken eyes gaze forlornly from her pale and flacid face. Dark circles seem permently afixed gicing the brown orbs a murky look. Pale lips are cracked, and rough looking, her skin is sallow. Stringy brown hair hangs limply along side her head, making her features stand out like a dead tree on a winters night. Long and thin, her milky skin, that looks rough to the touch, wraps tightly along her bones,  giving her a skelatol appreance.

Rand says, "let me know when you are down."

Alisia wiggles her nose.

Dalaynia oops and eeks forgot to spell check

Jymi smiles holding her box out to Rand "I'm finished."

Jymi hands Charming Box to Rand.

Alisia wiggles her toes. "Can I have an assignment too?"

Ayden smiles and is done as well. Do you want me to just cut and paste?

Dalaynia drops Lenore.

Rand nods to Alisia.

Alisia yays!

Jymi sits quietly waiting for her box to be passed or failed, whatever the case may be..

Talye watchs quietly from her spot in a corner, and raising a hand tentatively asks, "Could I have an assignment too?"

Dalaynia mms certainly not her best desc

Jymi says, "I have to go. I hope you liked the box.""

Jymi returns to the place from whence she came.

Rand says, "it is passable but barely Dalaynia. As you will see when I show you what i did."

Dalaynia hates doing quick descs never get them right the first time through

Rand steps away for a moment to scrawl out a message to someone.

Rand returns, sending a firelizard off to deliver the message.

Dalaynia ooo's at Rand and ferrets that desc away for future use

Alisia streches out, and curls up in a cold ball.

Talye waits silently in her corner, wondering if she should have come at all.  Sighs, squirms, and settles down again to wait.

Ayden gently nudgies Rand "Did you want me to just cut and paste the description?"

Hann materializes from places unknown.

Hann waves cheerfull at the other damned souls.

Koryn looks around for chewbacca. :)

Dalaynia rolls

Hann lolls.

Rand says, "have I missed anyone's object?"

Alisiahhas to go in 17 minutes.. -_-

Talye looks at bit puzzled, and mumbles to herself in a surprised tone, "Objects, what objects!?" and looks sheepishly about the room.

Rand has folks doing descs for objects. Did you write one Alisia?

Alisia shakes her head. "Nope.."

Rand hrmms..."Mind doinhg a simple desc of a box real fast. Unless you want to leave. I can send you any corrections.

Alisia shakes her head. "I can do it."

Rand says, "Ayden how is the dress coming?"

Ayden says, "Formal Evening gown."

Ayden says, "Black velvet lovingly clings to the curves of the wearer. The strapless bodice is edged in embroidered satin, the intricate stitching forming patterns along the narrow binding. The bodice hugs to the waist, the peaked front edged with the same satin detailing. The deeply scooped back of the gown ends just above the small of the waist, showing off creamy shoulders to the best advantage. The black velvet skirt glides like a midnight cloud over the legs to end at the small slit, fashioned on the right for easier movement. Delicate satin slippers with tiny diamonde bows complete the outfit."

Dalaynia fiddles and tweaks and hmms at Lenore need to but a raven on her hehe

Alisia smiles. "Finished! I'll just give it to you, as I have to go now, okay?

Alisia hands Marvelous Multicolored Box to Rand.

Alethia peeks and wonders what's going on...

Alethia peeks 'gain, pokes and prods....Anyone unidle?

Rand says, "A descing class just ended. I pity Jag who has to edit this log.;-)"

Alethia grins and must remember to get a log...;)

Alethia poofs.
