Vintessa stepped off the boat and was pleased with the folds of her elven cloak around her shins. Her thin but strong metal armor glistened in the sunlight, and she turned expectant eyes to the port.

Thieves, ragabonds, and most of the population of the bustling dock stared incredulously at her huge, white longbow and crooked wararrows. Stalking by with a grim look on her face, Vinny (as her friends called her) decided to wait for the rest of the passengers to disembark. She found an unused barrel and sat on top, her bright green, embellished armor out of place in the dirty marketplace.

((This looks interesting. Though I had to google "animagus"... seems I'm out of touch with the Harry Potter series.))
((Also, the alignments didn't have my favorite type, so I added it. Hope that's alright. If it isn't, I'll change it.))

((Yeah, it's fine =3 go ahead and introduce your character in any way))

An average-sized human walked down the street of a port town. He was dressed in light leather armor and black gloves. His only apparent armaments seemed to be a long knife stuck in his belt and a sling wrapped around his left hand. At first glance, however, you could tell that there was something different about him. Maybe it was his flame-red hair that made him stand out, or maybe it was... something else. It was hard to say.

A pickpocket loitering near the tavern decided he was an easy target. He slipped into the shadows and stalked him, fingers twitching as he prepared to go after his coin purse. The human paused to glance in the window of the tavern, and the thief made his move. He brushed past the human, fingers clutching at the bulging sack-

-and a strong arm grabbed his wrist. The thief squeaked with pain as the human turned his head to look at him. His eyes were golden, and merciless. "That's mine, you know." He whispered. The thief struggled, trying to get away. "I didn't come here to get robbed... but I'm in a good mood today. I'll let you go this time." He released the thief, who promptly drew his dagger and attacked. The human lifted his right hand and a ball of fire appeared in his palm. "I wouldn't." He said simply.

The thief nearly choked on his tongue, and he backed away swiftly. The human extinguished the fire. "Next time, don't try to rob a Sorcerer." The human said quietly. The thief nearly tripped try to get away.

Zeno watched him leave, then entered the tavern as if nothing had happened.


((I made his class a Sorcerer. It was my favorite class in Dungeons and Dragons. Hope that's ok.))

((YAY you play D&D ))

Vintessa watched the scuffle between the sorceror and the poor theif from her barrel. Playing with her own pale green fire, she decided she must meet this sorceror. She walked over to where he was looking around with his stunning golden eyes.

((You want me to take the meeting? You can do it if not, you always make me proud))

((I'll let you do it this time. I'd like to see how you do it. ))

Zeno glanced up at the elven female who was approaching. "May I help you?" He inquired politely, though he kept his hand near his dagger just in case.

"I saw the fire," Vintessa said, pointing to his hands. "Sorcerer, am i right?" When he nodded, she smiled a little. "Have you heard of the Knight-Sorcorors of Accueil?" she asked. When he nodded enthusiastically, he began to tell her "Oh I know all about them. They're supposed to enhance their fighting abilities with their Gift, and I heard the Lady Knight Vintessa is wicked fast with her emerald topped...knife..." He faltered as he spied the emerald topped knife hanging at her thigh. "YOU'RE Knight Sorcoror Vintessa?!" he said, astounded. Smiling wider, she nodded. His face lit up.

He jumped to his feet and pumped her hand. "Im Zeno, Human Sorcerer." She frowned. "You haven't an Animagi form?" "Oh yes, I do. A black fox." Laughing, she cried "Sit, Zeno Sorcerer, before you fall over!" he blushed, but sat. Sitting beside him, she said "Want to watch how that huge Orc gets off the ship?" and was pleased with his reaction of laughing eyes and a wide, craggy grin.

Vintessa had a feeling they would go a long way.

((Very nice. I like it. ))

Zeno was grinning fit to burst. "Sure, fine by me." He had always looked up to the Knight Sorcerers, and admired (and envied somewhat) how their guild had been accepted, even though Sorcerers generally didn't have that good a reputation. He himself had been wandering for a long time now, ever since he had accidentally set fire to his parent's house when his powers first came in. Needless to say they threw him out, but he had done alright. He had left that life behind, and had made a living out of taking care of problems most others couldn't handle. "Zeno the Red" was well known in many regions, but he preferred to keep a low profile.

At the moment he was in a good mood, made better by having the company of one of his heroes. He made himself comfortable, still unable to shake the hold the grin had on his face. Not that he wanted to, mind.

"So, what are you doing in the place?" He asked. "It's not the sort of place I'd expect to meet someone of your caliber."

(Um.. sorry for the annoying siggy, but could I join?)

((Sure. Fill out the form, and then ask someone about the HUGE SIGGY problem.))

Vintessa was a bit surprised by the question. "I thought you knew. Well, since the court was fairly befuddled when I passed the tests for Sorcery, I decided to fill the post of Traveler. As you can imagine, they were very relieved." Grimacing, she added "They're a bunch of traditionals. So I travel and send back any findings to Accueil. Im here in Gaea to see if there's any truth to the legend of Athrods' Fountain in the catacombs. The Masters were very interesed," she said. At the look of confusion on his face, she explained "Athrod is an Elven god. His Fountain is supposed to grant great resilience to the elements when drunk, but only for a day or so."

He SEEMS interested, she thought. Vintessa stood and offered him a hand up. At his second look of surprise, she suspected that he hadn't had very many friends. When he had taken her hand and stood, she asked "How would you like to help me find it? This little town can't have very many..."

That was when she felt the hard knock to the back of her head. Someone apparently didn't want anyone finding Athrods' Fountain.

((Jesen, take the chase, put keep in mind this is a Tesse Elf, aka VERY FAST. They pick me up and run.))

((ALL REJOICE, FOR THE SIGNATURE OF DOOM HAS BEEN VANQUISHED! And yes, go ahead and introduce your character. But put what you want your Animagi shape to be (Animagus=Human that can shape shift into 1 animal)))

((Ok, here we go.))

Zeno was about to reply when a blur knocked him backwards off his barrel. He backflipped and landed in a crouch, ready to deal with whoever had done that. He quickly realized he was alone, though from the retreating footsteps going off to his right the person hadn't gotten far. "Well. Looks like I'll need speed."

The world suddenly became larger as he shrank down. He fell forward onto his hands, though by now they were really paws. A moment later the transformation was complete: he was a larger-than-normal black fox. Thanks to a special amulet he wore, his clothing and weapons vanished rather than getting left behind. The amulet became a collar around his neck.

He sniffed the air, quickly catching the kidnapper's scent. He took off down the road after him. His ears perked up as the direction of the footsteps shifted. "Hmm, he took a side-street.... ten blocks ahead. I think I know where he's headed... I'll cut him off." The fox swerved sharply and took off down a dark alley, blending into the gloom perfectly.


Shoppers in the local market where surprised when a large figure wearing a black robe that completely hid him from view charged through the stalls, knocking aside anything and anyone that got in his way. In his arms was the slender figure of an elf. The being glanced over his shoulder and grinned. "Heh... I don't see her companion. I must have lost him."

He tore out of the market and continued on down the street. Directly ahead of him was his goal: the local temple. He knew that the monks inside would offer him shelter from anyone seeking to take his life, regardless of what he had done. "Almost there... and there's nothing that anyone can do to stop me."

Suddenly to his right he heard the sound of patting feet. Then out of an alley a black fox flew, jumping straight at him. To the kidnapper's amazement, the fox transformed in mid leap into a human, no, THE human who had been sitting next to her. Before he could do anything, the red-haired man had tackled him, sending all three of them crashing into a pile of crates. The kidnapper lost his grip on Vintessa and she crashed to the ground a few feet away.

The kidnapper tried to get up, but felt the blade of a knife touch his neck. The human frowned. "Who are you, and why did you do that?" The kidnapper struggled slightly, but then gasped as the human drew blood. "No moving. Answer me." The kidnapper could tell that the human was taking no nonsense. He gulped and stammered. The human growled, dragged him upright, and slammed him into the wall, roaring, "ANSWER ME!" The kidnapper could have sworn that the human's gold eyes flicked like fire.

((And I'll let you take over now. ))

((Nice Hint: Check for edits to the introduction for something relating to compliments ))

Vintessa came to in a pile of crates that smelled incredibly like fish. When her eyes had cleared, she looked around, immediately assesing her condition. Small lump to the back of the head, otherwise fine, crusted blood in my hair...THERE HE IS! She quickly crouched and leaped ontop of the kidnapper, knocking Zeno gently to the side.

Pressing her forehead to his, she knew her eyes blazed angrily. "Who do you work for? Answer me!" she demanded. The man below her whimpered, but turned his head from her penetrating gaze. Moving her hands from his small shoulders to his head, she turned him to look at her and pressed her first two fingers hard into his temples. Glittering green fire washed over him. Vintessa turned white, from fatigue and shock. "Knock him out," she whispered as she slumped off of him to rest against the crates. She watched blithely as Zeno gave him a ferocious backhand across the noggin.

He came over to sit beside her. "Are you all right?" he asked, plainly concerned. Vintessa waved her hand--yes, yes--and told him "He works for the Razag-Shone, a group of dull thugs, nontheless dangerous. In essence, they're deadly treasure-hunters, with a few lesser magicians to help. The Elves have been trying to wipe them out since they destroyed the Tower of Razmod. The problem is, there are just so many! Looking up into golden eyes, she added "They killed my parents in the Tower."

He jumped back. "But...the Tower of Razmod was destroyed a century ago! How old were you then?!" She gave him a smile devoid of joy. "I was fifty-six, still a 10 year old, to you. I am 156 years old. That would be...uh...22 to humans." He bowed his head and mumbled he was sorry for her parents.

"Look, I know I've only just met you, but it might be good if I stayed with you. If you have nothing else to do, it would be really nice if we could get to my house here in Gaea, then tommorrow prepare for treasurehunting." Standing, she offered him a hand.

"Are you with me?"

((I see you Jesen.))

Zeno smiled and took her hand. "I'm with you. Been a while since I went treasure hunting. Been busy helping people with this and you, you know. Wyvern infestations, dens of thieves, the occasional wandering dragon, you know, the usual." He waved a hand airily. "I get sick of second-rate work, ya know? Been a while since I've had a challenge." The absurdity of that statement was lost on him. Really, all of those were challenges, but he'd done so many it was almost routine. Though the time when he had actually had to fight a dragon was difficult. Usually he could bribe them off.

He picked up the guy and slung him over his shoulder. As he did so, he noticed an amulet around the guy's neck. He reached over and took a look. "Hmm... I've seen this before..." He thought back, and realized that most of those "dens of thieves" wore these. As did that one mage... He smiled and whispered in the man's ear in drakonic, "And where did you get this?" Obviously, the man couldn't understand him, but he had done it less for his benefit than so the elf couldn't understand him. And the accent required to speak the language of the dragons tended to inspire fear in most people. "Never thought this would come in handy... besides dissuading people from fighting me while I drink."

He pulled off the amulet and showed it to Vintessa. "Hey, is this the sign of the Rez... Rags... of that group?"

((Yup, I be here ))

Vintessa nearly sighed in relief. Nearly. This was the man who had saved her life, and probably her honor. When he showed her the amulet, it only confirmed what the mans panic-stricken mind had told her. "Thanks," she told him, then added they should probably get to her house before another thug conked her and made her hair too bloody. He laughed at that, knowing elves didn't fancy themselves at all.

Walking briskly down the cobbled street, she turned onto the main, paved road. When she reached 702 Manor Street, she turned and opened the fine iron gate. Motioning a gaping Zeno up the granite path, she boldly opened the great, polished door.

Servants cleaning the foyer jumped and conducted quick curtsies and bows. Vintessa waved them aside, and, pulling Zeno by the hand, lead him up the grand stair.

((Ok, take it from here, I show you into a posh room, and tell you if you need something, ring the little brass bell for a servant or the glowing crystal one for me))

Zeno was amazed at the grandeur of the house. Really, he had never seen such a place, except from the outside. And the one time he'd been hired to take down the owner of such a place... though he'd been more focused on finding him and blowing him (and the house by extension) to bits than marveling at the architecture.

Vintessa showed him a room, and told him that we would be sleeping here. He was amazed at how comfortable it all looked. Especially the bed. He knew he'd enjoy the night here. She showed him two bells, a brass one and a crystal one. She told him to ring the brass one for a servant, and the glowing one for her. He smiled, wondering what it would be like to enjoy this sort of thing all the time. He thanked her and she left the room. Apparently she had other things to do.

He took a seat on the bed and looked over the amulet. He was right in his suspicions, and thought back over his experiences with what he know knew were the Razag-Shone. Mostly it had been thugs, easy to deal with. (lighting them on fire was the fastest way, and the most fun to watch. He smiled in spite of himself.) Though, he had once had to take out a wizard. That was a tough battle, but in the end the bonus of not having a set number of spells per day had won over. Though it took a while, and by the time he was done the town was a smoldering wreck. He'd beaten a hasty retreat from there once he'd been payed.

Still... if wizards that powerful were part of that group, then they might have some trouble. Though that wasn't going to stop him from joining this adventure.

He smiled and fell backwards on the bed with a WHOMP! He sighed and closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of a plush feather bed for the first time since... he frowned. "Scratch that, the first time EVER. I'd like to make this a habit, if I ever find a place that would accept me."

((I love sorcerers so much. Lower move pool, but you don't have to get into the whole "choosing-which-spells-I'll-need-today-in-the-morning piece. This really fits.))
((/end rant))

((I had an Elf Ranger, Vintessa, she was level 22 ))

Vintessa softly shut Zeno's door behind her and turned down the plush carpet. Walking with a bounce in her step to her room, she told the servants for a good dinner to be sent up to the guests room. She also asked the cook, going into the kitchen to do her bidding, to make her a simple but hearty meal to be had in the dining hall.

When she reached her large room, she flooped back on the bed with her own WHOMP and began to pull off her boots. When her hot armor was off, she towel-washed in the bathroom and pulled on a full, brown skirt, a white blouse, and green corset but left her feet bare. Wiggling her toes with a smile on her face, she wondered what Zeno would make of the dinner. She planned to enjoy hers in the dining hall, and slipped a note under his door telling him so and to bring his tray down (third door on the left from the stairs) if he wished to join her. By the splashes, she guessed he was having a bath. Who knows how long he's been dirty she thought to herself, smiling that she could accomodate him.

Padding down to the dining hall, she walked in and sat at the smaller round table by the fire, instead of the huge, rectangular Great Table for feasts. Staring into the fire, she pulled out parchment and a quill from a case on the table and began to write a list of supplies they would need in a few days for their hunt for the mythical Fountain of Athrod.

((I've been a sorcerer several times (usually human), an elven bard once, and most recently, a halfling cleric. Word to the wise: halflings make HORRIBLE clerics. ))

Zeno was indeed washing himself. Baths were rare for him, and he tended to make the most of any chance he got.

When he finished, he dried himself and looked at himself in the mirror. He gently stroked the tattoo he had on the back of his right hand: a red pentagram with a symbol on each point. They stood for Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Power. He smiled wistfully. "I wonder that the Xevex Guild would think of me now... It's been years since I was thrown out." He wrapped the towel around his waist and left the bathroom.

He was surprised to see that clothing had been left out for him: a white light silk shirt and a pair of black pants. No shoes, and his had been taken. "For cleaning," he guessed. He dressed and put on his gloves, a habit he had picked up years before. Though, really, he only needed to put on his right one. The guild didn't have all that great a reputation lately, since they attempted to overthrow the rulers of the realm. "Seems that getting kicked out when I did was a BLESSING."

A knock sounded at the door, and a servant entered bearing a tray. From the smell, it was obviously dinner, and a good one at that. His stomach growled; he had run out of rations a day before, so he hadn't eaten in a while. The servant bowed and placed the tray on the bed, then left. Zeno strode over to the door and picked up the paper that lay there. "Dinner in the hall... yes, that will be nice." He picked up the tray and left the room with it. He followed the directions and went into the dining hall.

The grandeur of the hall wasn't as impressive to him: he had often been invited to eat in such places. Sleep? Not so much. He glanced around the room: empty. "I guess she hasn't finished whatever she's doing just yet." He thought, taking a seat. He lifted the lid and sniffed appreciatively. His stomach growled again, and he lifted his fork and knife into battle position. "To my heath." He said with a grin, and commenced eating.

(My animagus can turn into a white cat.)

Vintessa started when she heard the toast. Looking up, she realized Zeno was sitting in one of the chairs that had its back to her. Deciding to test him and surprise him, she turned invisible and snuck up behind him. When she revealed herself, she would show him the cozier table.

((Ok Xelessia, introduce your character whenever and wherever you want. In can even be outside of Gaea))

((Posty posty anyone? ))

((Sounds good to me Xelessia

Zeno was enjoying his meal. He hadn't had one this good in a while. He heard the sound of a chair scraping against the floor, and turned to look. No one. "Hmm..." he thought to himself, turning back to his meal. A moment later he felt a hand touch his shoulder. He jumped, instantly reaching for his knife only to remember he hadn't brought it. "Crap. What a time to break habit."

A moment later Vintessa appeared. He calmed down a bit, but still had to say something. "Heh... you didn't have to shock me like that..."

"Ok, it was funny," Zeno admitted after a minute of Vintessa's hearty laughter. When she calmed down enough, she told him about the cozy, not so intimidating round table with wing chairs by the fire. He got up, grabbed his silver tray and moved down beside her own. Sitting, he said, "So, what now?" Vintessa smiled. "First we prepare. I've made a list of supplies," she gestured to the list. "After the servants get them, we have to actually find the catacombs. Tommorrow, we go buy whatever WE, not food and stuff, need, like magic items or new armor. What do you want?"

((Take it, Jesen
PLUS: You have earned a Level 1 reward. Here is the list of rewards, choose ONE:
---Secondary Animagus form
---Two gold pieces (not noble)
---New set of custom apprenticework armor))

((Ooh... hard to choose. The gold isn't that important (he's not flush, but he has enough for now. That may change after the shopping spree, though) so it's down to the other two... his fox isn't exactly battle-worthy, but then again, he can hold his own as a human... eh, I might get that option again later, but new armor is hard to come by when you're in the field. Unless I take it off a corpse or something. Eh, I'll go with the armor; he'll need it.))

((That was a glimpse into my thought process I go through whenever I level. ))


Zeno thought. "Eh... my set of armor needs replacing. It's been through a lot, and it's about time I got something new. Other than that, I need some more bullets for my sling; I'm low. I guess that covers my necessities: I tend to travel light. Make it easier." He took another bite.

((Lol, had to get my manual out to remind myself what you put in a sling. ))

((XD ok, just 1)find a picture or 2)describe it in large detail))

Vintessa smiled and said "We have an armory, we can see it after dinner."

((I really do have to go for supper now XD You can take the dinner/armory))

((I'll skip trying to find a picture of apprentice-class light armor and go with a description. Though it does interest me how I would have gotten a new form.))

((I'll be right back, then write the post.))

((Alright, back.))

Zeno took his time eating, enjoying every bite. Eventually he finished, and they left the house.

She lead him down several streets before they arrived at the armory. In the back he could hear the sounds of craftsmen working on various arms and armors, though the front room was dedicated to the arms already crafted. A man sat at the back with a ledger, ready to take payment for whatever they wanted.

Zeno slowly browsed the racks of light armors, inspecting and rejecting each in turn. They were all as good as his old set, for the most part, but he was really looking for an upgrade. Finally he found what he was looking for: a set of leather armor that far surpassed his old set. It was brown, with various runes inscribed on it in gold. From what could gather, it was enhanced with various enchantments for extra strength and durability. A fine catch, he felt. It came with a top, pants, boots, and gloves, though he wasn't sure he wanted to replace his old pair. They had been through a lot.

He checked the price tag and whistled. "Dang... then again, it's not THAT surprising, given that it's apprenticework." Vintessa smiled and told him that she was paying. That set his mind at ease.

He brought it up to the man and placed it on the counter. "Would you like any adjustments?" He asked. Zeno blinked and glanced at his gloves. "Well... can you remove the fingers on the gloves? And a fitting, of course." The man nodded and lead him into the back. A craftsman adjusted the fit of the armor so it wouldn't be too loose, then removed the fingers as requested. When they were done he was lead back out front and Vintessa paid for the armor. Zeno smiled appreciatively, then bought a few sacks of iron bullets himself.

Cadence was walking, trying to find a good shelter. She finally decided walking was extremely slow, so she transformed into her Animagus, a white cat. She ran and ran, above the mountains, over the fields, and wondered..
"What is the best city in the world?"

((Ok, supper is done ))

Vintessa paid for the magical armor without a second thought. Folding her arms and leaning against the doorway, she watched the fitting and the apprentice painstakingly remove the fingers. For others, a silver piece was a lot of money, but for Vintessa, most of her treasury was gold nobles. She had manors in Gaea, Sithi, Catherby, Mbarim, and Montagne. She remembered the names of all the servants in every single one.

Earlier that day, right after supper, but before the armory, she had sent the list of supplies to her collector, and Jonson had told her the supplies would be assembled and packed in the entry hall on Friday. Today was Monday. Vintessa was secretely glad that Zeno would be able to rest for so long.

He stepped out of the fitting room. Vintessa nodded approval and handed over the piece. Turning, she said "Need anything else?" When he shook his head, she smiled broadly and said "We can go get good horses then!"

((Jesen, if you want this, my horse has to be a big boner, black with white socks, tail, and mane.))

((A horse sounds nice. No real requirements for Zeno. Not sure what a "boner" is, but I'll include it.))

Zeno nodded. "Sounds good. Lead the way." They left the shop and headed down a side street. It didn't take long to arrive at the stables. Zeno took a look at the horses, and quickly chose one that suited him: a powerful black one. Vintessa chose a big boner that was black with white socks, tail, and mane. She paid for them, and made arrangements to have them delivered to her personal stables later.

Zeno was enjoying all this, but he still felt a bit uneasy. He couldn't place it, though. As they headed out, he turned to his host and nodded. "So, where to next?"

((Nobody laugh at big boner x.x A big boner generally means...big bones XD))

"Hmm. Well, we could go back to the manor...we could also take these now and go into the mountains for fun...which do you choose?"

((Last post for the night for me x.x I'm feeling sleepy))
((And ah, I see. Makes sense. (Not knowledgeable about horses)))

Zeno smiled. "Why don't we head out into the mountains? There's still plenty of light left."

((Nighty night Jesen ))

Vintessa whispered the change of plans to the hostler then motioned for Zeno to mount. When he did so, she leaped atop her black and trotted out into the street.

Passersby leaped out of the way as the armor-clad pair galloped out of the city. Taking a side trail, Vintessa lead them off the road and into a thick forest. Keeping a wary eye to the trees, they trotted along the trail until they reached a crossroads.

Vintessa was turning down the right path when a white cat streaked down it, making her horse rear. Sharply turning her mount around, she turned to Zeno and said "What in Athrods' name was that?" He shrugged. Looking back to the crossroads, a scruffy girl was sitting there!

"Who are you? Speak!" Vintessa demanded. The girl stood up on under-fed legs and whispered "I'm Candence."

(Ahem? NO godmodding. Please edit your post.)
The white, furry cat transformed into a human and whispered "I'm Cadence, who are you?"
Cadence looked weird alright. She had eyes that could change color, and a thin mouth. Cadence also had an abnormally small nose.

((Godmodding...ohhh you mean...wait wat? And anyway, who are you to say I'm godmodding my own RP?))

Vintessa's blazing eyes softened, and she asked "Where do you live? Where are you going?"

"Um.. I was traveling to Bayedge. I currently have no home, so that's why I'm looking for one."
Cadence's eyes widened, and said "What are YOU doing here?"

((Geh... sorry, I've been sick today. x.x))

Zeno answered for Vintessa. "We've been taking a ride, to try out these horses. Also because it's fun." He extended a hand to Cadence. "Care to join us? I don't have a home either. Though that's more by choice than anything else. Mostly." He smiled kindly at her.

Cadence jumped, because she did not know that Zeno was there.
"I'll join you," she said, shaking hands with Zeno.

Vintessa smiled, and motioned for Candence to climb on behind her on her horse. When she did so, she turned her horse back towards the city and galloped down the path.

Cadence transformed into a cat to disguise herself and meowed.

Zen followed them back down the path. He wasn't sure what to make of the new girl, but he was willing to take things as they came.

Cadence lifted a paw and started scratching.

Vintessa was sure something was up. Born Animagi were not cast out of homes. They were extremely rare, so she wondered why Cadence had fled her home, and come to Gaea by a theives' route. She could have been picked up and sold!

(it's Cadence, NOT candence)
Cadence meowed softly.

((Ok, I'm sorry. But seriously, Xelessia, if all you're going to post is "Cadence meowed softly" and "Cadence lifted a paw and started scratching", you don't belong in this roleplay. Look at Jesen and my posts'; they have some ending to them. What you post are just snippets. I've seen TRW, nobody posts because nothing exciting happens. Either post good, rich, descriptive, LONGER posts or just leave.))
