Ish, that roleplay. And just in case anybody missed it, everything listed in that roleplay was in the right fucking order as if you were going round a supermarket. I could literally see Slain going round my work without suddenly jumping across aisles it was that well thought out. Top job. Also, I always read (and imagine) Slain as if he's Ryan Reynolds in the BT ads: youtu.be/koo8XG8P1VcThat roleplay was beautiful, man. I love the innuendo laden stuff and it's almost like it spoke to me personally.

I'm glad you picked up on that. I had a few translation hurdles writing it. The cart and grocery terms, fine. I knew there were surprisingly little crossover between food brands, so that's nearly all the drinks, sweets etc out of the question (and all the silliest words!) Googled to make sure the magazine references were safe. Bakery products are quite region-specific. Then you've got the likes of biscuits and chips where the names are all swapped around in translation like Street Fighter II bosses. Eggplant doesn't make any sense but at least I knew about it and I saw an American Snickers ad once.
So after all that I'm previewing it in my browser and it twigs that not only do I have no reason to think the layout would be the same in the US, but they don't have supermarkets in the form we know them at all. So thanks for spotting a well-researched piece of inaccuracy. That one was just for you, pal. I did actually feel as if Steele and Freeze were paving the way for that one.
Speaking of Steele I don't know what Ooh-Rah means or how it sounds but I feel it'd be a useful thing to copy. One day there had to be a pitch in Ikea headquarters of 'let's put MILF on the side of this shitty lamp then we'll shift them' and annoyingly they were absolutely right because people like us are so easily manipulated.
I want Nathaniel to be regularly partnered with people he'd previously described as abominations. Also how are you sourcing such a rich vein of bible quotes? Is either this gimmick or Steele's secretly autobiographical?
Welcome aboard AJ! I was wondering what the visuals were for the opening first person text, then we get visuals given after the scene changes to 'off camera'. I've missed something, haven't I?

Ooh-rah is like... I dunno I think it's like the battle cry of the US marines (or navy seals or something similar...) either way, it's kinda seen as like a macho-American thing so I put it in there as Steele was defending the USA.
I suppose I didn't think about whether American supermarkets are laid out like British ones... I'm basing my claim of accuracy on Sainsbury's haha.
Bible quotes are fairly easy, I literally just google "controversial bible quotes about women" or "biblical verses about demons", etc, and then just go sifting through lol. biblehub.com has been my friend here...
Alas, Steele is not autobiographical but thankfully neither is Nathaniel!

Wait you mean you don't have the entire bible memorized?

So I made a mistake booking myself against Eliah. I should have known better.
T-Bone I could handle, but Eliah?
Ah crap. That RP was good.
First off, I love that someone finally used that bible verse from Timothy. Secondly, I love the subtle progression (like the bright yellow faded into a dirtier yellow, reflecting upon the darker side of him.)

Thanks! What I really wanted to do with the yellow was darken it down so it was really faint, as it was supposed to represent just the sound of his voice in the pitch black (but I'm useless using that little slider box thingy for the colours lol)

I just read Ish's last RP. How could he steal merchandise?
This is the most awkward heel turn ever.

YOU ARE WRONG because a) it never left the store so no theft only casual vandalism and b) I think I'm heel in this match anyway. I'm not sure because all I have to go on for Harry's alignment is his network rp where he's opposing Mongo but I'm never sure what Mongo is either lol
And to continue the thread of me not understanding other people's rps what is this yellow thing people are talking about?

Oh that might be me... I put all Nathaniel's lines in grey text, except for Bible quotes which I put in yellow. The final line of his last promo was in a darker yellow, which Kuroi interpreted as signifying Nathaniel's character getting darker, I wrote it in as his voice singing on total darkness

TIL that coloured text only shows when I'm viewing the site on mobile.

Good promo for Kyznetsov, I'll have my work cut out in my next promo now!
Brave to gamble on him in a lab coat and thick glasses giving a lecture because I wouldn't have thought his character would be able to accommodate a gag like that but it worked still.
Do agree with T-Bone, maybe shrink the pictures down a bit. Good promo.

The American キラー Vol.1 Ep.4:
Fuuuuuckin' hell. That's some big talk. At least there's two of them to share it between. No pressure match writer!

I know, right?
I never had the balls to say, "Slavery is nothing compared what I'll do to you!" with Storm.
