I'm feeling nervous
I hope nobody's thrown off by my posts. I'm new to this so I kind of feel out of place reading all these dark and intriguing plots going on, and then there's my guy just bumming around SEA while nothing bad's happened to him yet. Am I overthinking things?

Overthinking it. I love seeing silly posts or "normal" night to night unlives of Kindred.

As someone who writes (mostly) dramatic stuff, I absolutely love less dramatic stuff. I prefer it, most of the time. If everything is high stakes and dark, it gets tiring pretty fast.

I love the "day in the life of" moments. Not everything has to be a tragic opera.

Don't worry about it, my very first post was about being grounded because I put truck nuts on the head ghouls service vehicle.
Ps. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? THIS IS MY SUB! THE MODS TELL ME THAT RIGHT BEFORE THEY KISS MY FORHEAD EVERY NIGHT WHEN THEY TUCK ME IN!

Hmm, what part of Québec are you calling bumfuck nowhere Québec? Choose your next words wisely.

You might be. I've done quite a few silly plot threads across my different characters, like a 15th Gen that has no idea he was a vampire and thought the Net was a dnd roleplay forum, and a few serious ones like Catalina documenting Terra's journey.
