[ORP] Main E-mice RP Thread

[Mintaka]

The available areas for roleplay are certed either in the indoors or outside in the playarea. The facility is located somewhat east of the DemonHound facility, closer to Barton then Aekea but still fringing the desert more then the grassy plains of the Barton region. The build is not very high, but sprawls out somewhat, and a large portion of the reswearch area runs underground as well.

The Indoors
The main reception/meeting room is on the east side of the building, where most sales and general gatherings occur. There are two smaller private rooms, and Moonchilde's and Mintaka's offices along the south side. The private rooms are vailable, with windows ot see in and out from into the main room, while the offices do not share that luxury and are most often locked.

The main room is filled with many plush chairs and couches, arranged for comfortable seating groups to talk, with tables for books, drinks and so on. On the north wall is mostly windows showing the outdoor patio and grassy clearing and playplaces. Skylights above let in natural light, contrasting with the somewhat futuristic decor.

Past the main room is the research areas, which are all staff-access only.

The Outdoors
The patio is large and covered, with many tables and chairs for at least 20 people. The play areas are designed with the active E-mouse in mind with many activities and places to crawl through, hide in, etc. There's also open grassy are just for running and some trees in the area. A wall encloses the space to keep predators and intruders out.

[[ RULES ]]

01. No godmodding. No controlling other people/their pets without permission. This means don't come to me if you see person A controlling person B's thing... if you're neither A nor B. I only want to hear about things from the party actually being used, since some people may want/allow someone certain control of actions, and that's between them. Generally though try to make such matters clear. When in doubt, ask.

02. E-mice are not godly. Though they have quite good recovery, this does not prevent death from absolutely foolish things. Do not abuse their phsyiology; that's just unfair to me especially. Also, they do not cast insane magics; actually, they don't use magic really unless otherwise stated. They're consdered a magical race because they are neither flesh nor machine, but they do not inherently use magic. However, they're rather crafty and smart to learn nromal tricks and such, and gain skills in such things as arts and repair.

03. The IC/OOC Clause. Just because two E-mice don't get along ... doesn't mean that the owner hates you. If one mouse takes it on themselves ot be a bully on yours, that doesn't mean the owner hates you and wants to beat YOU up. Keep IC stuff IC and OOC things OOC. If you don't like someone, that's fine, but keep that out of the thread, and try not to make the same prejudices ICly as you might have OOCly. stare Mostly this clause was to remind people that IC things are NOT OOC reflections of feelings; if I were to RP one fo my characters hating someone, it doesn't mean I personally do. Let's try to remember that... and not let IC stuff become OOC dramatics.

04. Avoid the Drama. If you have rpoblems, take it up to me in Moonchilde's PM box. Don't start a three page long fight in my thread over right and wrong over pets. Or something personal. I don't midn talking about things, but we don't need to make a big dramatic show of emotions. Calm, rational. I hate drama and if people are causing it, you can expect to be on my watched list, excessive rama upsetting lots of people will earn you greylisting [or blacklisting if it gets bad enough]. Please; I get drama enough elsewhere in my life, I don't need it here. IC drama has a time and place, but let's NOT overkill on that.

05. Have Fun. Please... this is about fun. But, if you are causing a lot of not-fun for everyone else... I will have to step in. This slightly goes with the above IC drama comment; if your drama is seriously putting a lot of people off, I may have to step in. I want this fun for everyone. If you have an idea, and one that especially will affect others, please bring it up with me with a PM to Moonchilde; I'll be happy to review something you've come up with. I just want to make sure everyone's able to be happy with things.

06. Keep it Clean. Not that this should be the last thing to say, but perhaps it'll stick best here. Remember this si gaia and we DO have PG-13 rules. I don't want to see any sex at all, in any form. I shouldn't HAVE to say it, but I want to be extra sure we all understand that. Also, I don't want massive gore... not that I see it being possible but... well. As I said; PG-13. I don't mind a little darkness but I don't want people being bothered... and I don't need little kids being tormented for life. I do have friends who are just barely 13 here on Gaia, and I prefer they not get exposed to things they shouldn't be. [I realize some 13 y/o's have a maturity of an 18 y/o and vice versa -- after all, I was apparently so mature in my teens someoen refused to believe I was really a teenager online and had to argue my youthfulness to them. Still, I'd rather not someone get in trouble. Plus, well, sex shouldn't be on Gaia anyway. xp We all know how babies happen, we don't need to show.]
