[Jaes]

Whoohoo! I've never done an expedition - So excited! Thanks for running this, oakleafwolf!

[Origami_Dragon]

Congrats everyone who's going out exploring!

Now...to keep the living rainbow (aka Spectrum) from getting distracted by rainbow falls and forgetting that she's supposed to be looking for things...

[RikkuGirl]

this will be my first as well! it will be a full sam day for me! I have alot of catching up to do. congrats to everyone and thank you !!

[RikkuGirl]

Sorry for my very long post ^^;; Got on a roll, normally my first posts are the longest (future posts should be much shorter). I do not have spell check either...so PLEASE forgive me for typos and punctuation (I did my best but im afraid im rather horrible at spelling and punctuation). Also...not sure if the air above the river counts as the bluff or the river itself so I just.. kinda winged it. I hope thats ok. Im afraid Passion isn't the best for exploring just yet, hopefully he will start to actually LOOK for stuff... Hes just quite overcome by the NEW experience and the lack of knowledge of waterfalls and flying

Your post was great, Rikkugirl! Passion is such a sweetheart and it was hilarious when he got wet and tumbled down. Poor guy!

[RikkuGirl]

^_^ Thanks Jaes im loving yours as well! Im jealous that I dont have a water sam to be able to explore the depths with! I can only imagine the spleandors that jewel gets to see! Shes so logical and intellectual! I love her personality and her strive for knowledge! Passion would be happy to help her with his knowledge of the affects of mist and furry fliers! x3

I figured not everyone should have a "Great" experience! Gotta learn from your mistakes, ya know?! Life isn't always peaches and cream BUT you gotta keep trucking and hope for the best and PRAY no one watches you fall ^^ He did skip a few times! So in skipping stone standards, HES AWESOME!!! Thankfully he wasnt hurt but his pride was... lol hopefully his lovely mare didnt see him! Oh what a story that would be when they got home! xD


-giggles-

[AsaraDragon]

Eep! I'll have to reply in the morning, almost bedtime. Good luck everyone!

[nightfeathers]

Blargh! I was watching for this in the wrong place. >> No wonder I wasn't seeing anything lol. I shall try to get caught up. o.o

[RikkuGirl]

Hopefully Pristine can post in time for the next round <33333 Glad you made it NF! <3 Im LOVING all the posts ^^ its neat to see how everyones sams reacts to a new place, experience or adventure! :3 These are alot of fun -wiggles-

[oakleafwolf]

Oh man, you're all ADORABLE.

I'm working on replies now, and we'll be heading into round 2 soon!

[Pristine]

Having some RL troubles that made me forget to check back in to the roster announcement. Looks like I caught up JUST in time, although I imagine I just made a bit more work for Oakleaf since he was just working on responses. Sorry Oak! :I

Glad I get to play along, though, I do love these expeditions. I also love reading everyone else's posts; getting to know the personalities of everyone's Sams is super fun

[oakleafwolf]

No worries, Pristine! I'm glad you could make it!

[oakleafwolf]

Sorry it took so long to get the replies up yesterday!

Just a heads up - this is probably the final round, it's gotten a lot busier at work and I don't want to leave you guys hanging too long!

[Pristine]

Thanks, oakleaf!

Normally I hope I'm not the only one experiencing issues, but this time I hope I AM. I posted my response to the thread, read it back over to make sure I didn't need to edit in some changes, it looked good so I exited the text file (didn't save, didn't think I would need it)... now I'm not seeing my post!

Hopefully it's just one of those things like PI's servers where the server goes back in time for a little while... but it's been almost an hour so I don't have high hopes...

I just hope I'm the only one who has to retype their whole response T.T

[LvSoulFriend]

It was still visible on my screen Pristine, so I quoted it and chucked it at you XD Let me know if it doesn't show up in you PM box here, and I'll chuck it at you on PI too XD


Now, if only my brain would work in coming up with a response >> Though I do love how you incorporated Burl in oak! Made me giggle <3


How long will we have to respond for this last round?

[RikkuGirl]

i saw your post pristine o:

and oak! no worries, rl always comes first. hope things mellow for you soon ^.^ i should be making passions final post tomorrow after work hopefully i can find a pencil while im at it....i have alot of drawing and writing to do!

[oakleafwolf]

Pristine - Is the response you can't see the first one, or have you replied since the set of responses I did on Sunday? I saw the first one with Reel just fine, but I don't see anything in the thread since I posted? Sounds like very strange bugginess!


Lv - I tried to give back whatever I got from you guys! I thought it was fun that you used Burl, so I gave you some back!

You'll have a few days to respond! I'm going to try to wait till most people have gotten something in, unless that takes some ridiculous amount of time... I know the second round always takes a bit longer!


Rikku - It's just sort of seasonal! Everyone is taking vacations now, because once the winter holidays begin we'll be slammed until Jan/Feb, but that's alright!

[Pristine]

Haha, actually I was proactive and finished my second post yesterday during my lunch break, so it's my second post that's missing. I guess it's really, completely gone.

Guess I know what I'm doing on my lunch break today

[RikkuGirl]

Positive thinking pristine! See the good in the bad, I like that! -highfive-

I Love ALL the posts so far! You all are so skilled and imaginative, I LOVE IT. ^____^

Thanks agian for this event OAK, Ive had a blast (Just posted my second post). Seasonal jobs can be tough (I know, I worked in a hotel in florida!) I hope you make bank either way!

Im also really happy how you gave passion a reason to have crashed... I think that helped him to become more confident about the situation. Who knows how he would have gotten out of that once he got home.... He seems to have started to LOOK for stuff now! Hopefully he can find some more berries or something! I know he will be proud no matter what he finds! ^_^

Passion: I FOUND BEYRRIES!!!!! -Waddles around the forest humming happily, the berries almost falling out of his basket-

[Jaes]

Yes, thank you Oak! This has been so, so fun! I haven't done any writing in a long time and this was a great way to plunge back into it. Everyone's replies have been hilarious and awesome, and reading about people's sams is great. I love sam rping!

[oakleafwolf]

Hey guys, just a heads up-- I'd like to finish this by the weekend so try to get your second responses in during the week!

If there's something going on and you can't get to it this week just let me know, otherwise we'll resolve this in a few days. Good luck, explorers!

[LvSoulFriend]

I don't know if I will be able to get a second post in before the weekend, but don't wait on me!

Life suddenly just bit me in the butt, and I've come down with something on top of it XP


So yes, if I get a second post in, all well and good. If I don't, then I don't!

[Jennalyn]

I will be tryyyyying to get a second one in, but I can't guarantee that I will. I've been running around prepping for a friend's wedding (I'm a bridesmaid) and we're off tomorrow to GA to engage in bachelorette shenanigans and general wedding merriment!
