I was actually born in, and spent about a decade of my life or so, on the coast of Mississippi, myself. I also don't know any Cajun, but I do know that words that end in '-oux' are not pronounced the way one might think.

Funny. Heather mentioned a while back she's originally from Oklahoma; Knightsfalltoo's in Texas; I'm from Louisiana; and Daos was born in Mississippi. A contiguous chain of four states.

Well, I live in Washington state (apparently it has to be made clear that I'm talking about the state and not D.C.), now. I try to visit the family in Oklahoma every year, but it is getting increasingly harder to visit that horrible horrible state (and my family to an extent because they annoy me).

First I lived in Illinois, then we moved to New York, then we moved back to Illinois, then we moved into a different house in Illinois (But still close to our other house), and then we finally moved to Massachusetts, where we live in now. It's pretty nice here. We have a pool, an upstairs, and a basement.

Oh my god, basements. I'm in Dallas right now and they just don't have them here. It's too flat; one would flood every time it rained. As someone who grew up literally playing D&D in the basement I miss them Also bagels and good pizza.

So...I can't think of what Lillian can add to this. When everybody else has posted, you can reply, Daos.

Never had a basement. Are they awesome? Do they add to the price of a home?

So...I can't think of what Lillian can add to this. When everybody else has posted, you can reply, Daos. Theron is talking to you. You're going to just sandbag him? side bar: What weapons does Lillian carry? I made note that Katya specifically looked her over to try and guess what to expect from her, but I don't actually know Never had a basement. Are they awesome? Do they add to the price of a home? It's having another room in your house without windows that most guests won't see. It could be awesome. It could be filled with clutter. My parents' was filled with clutter until I turned 14, cleaned it out and stuck a fridge and a second-hand kitchen table down there for gaming. Then it was pretty rad to have a place where my friends and I could stay awake until 2 am being noisy and making Monty Python references without disturbing anyone. They tend to increase the price of a home, yes. His Da told him stories when he was a wee scamp about skeletons and dead but alive again wizards...holy warriors were needed for that sorta thing. Looking at his companions he sucks his teeth, not an Enforcer sort among us. His eyes linger on Ryan, Garnet, and Kat...more so the previous two. Did they have that sorta power?! The kind from old stories. He wondered if that was why Katya had been so interested in learning to fight lately. He chuckles shaking his head because...did it really matter? Jeeze, Jherek, just put your finger right on it why don't you? Alas, Katya can't Turn Undead until level 3.

I like letting his thoughts slip into narrative. He knows something is different. Can't put his finger on it though.

Oops, sorry Theron. I'll reply.

GravityEmblem: Lillian should tell everyone who she is, and maybe say a little bit about herself. Theron does not currently know her name is a clueless jerk who doesn't always pay attention, so if had to address her later on, he'd be stuck doing something like pointing at her and saying, "Hey, you!"

Garnet called her by name, so Theron would know what she is called. It would be polite for her to introduce herself considering Theron just gave his name, but she doesn't have to be polite. She did accept his apology, though.

Whoops! I missed that. I stand corrected.
Theron is prepared to take what he can get, in the way of social niceties...but you can still feel free have Lillian formally introduce herself, Gravity, if you see fit.
I can certainly sympathize. I was living in northern California, up until about a year ago, and came back to Louisiana for various reasons "just temporarily". Now I'm kinda stuck here. I'm planning to move elsewhere, as soon as I manage to save up enough...I've got no clue where I'm going yet, though.
I drove across part of Oklahoma, once. It blew my mind that tumbleweeds are actually a thing.

I edited my post to include more information. Just so you know. Speaking of Oklahoma, that's where my mom grew up, and where my maternal grandfather and his second wife lived primarily until I was about seven. We used to visit them once a year, but we don't really see them now that we live in MA.

You should all move to the promised land! Texas is the best! We got the Astros, Aggies, BBQ, Tejano Music, Houston, Austin (if ya wanna be weird), Street Tacos, Beaches, Mountains, Plains, Forests, and Swamps! It's glorious! Everyone says ya'll and all soda is coke! I may be biased...but I love this state!
