The Apparition (OOC/Planning)

Hey, Guys. I was researching the proper names, since my character has a lot of phobias, and I think I found the longest word in the English Dictionary.

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia - fear of long words

Ironic, isn't it?

Oh, I can see it now...

"Sir, I'm afraid you have hippopotomonstros-"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Exactly, my whole point. I know it's Latin, but if people have the phobia, they should be able to repeat it...that is, if anyone can pronounce it. It looks like a tongue twister.

Yeah. Really, how do you say that?

Type it into google translate and then hit the audio button.

You ma'am are a supreme intellect genius.

Thank you, thank you...

Listen to the Arabic version of that.

That's not even a WORD! XD

Guys, I suggest you bring all of your characters to the town meeting in your next posts because the mayor will be starting very shortly.

I would bring Emily to the meeting, had she not had a phobia of fog and suffered a panic attack. You might have to start by someone thinking she went insane, and then realizing the phobia. Panic attacks actually have nothing to do with insanity, or mental instability. It's just torture for the person who has it. I actually think once in awhile I myself have very mild panic attacks, but not enough to put me in a hospital or seek medical help. I basically feel like I can't breathe, and then my mouth goes dry and I start to get worried. Really, it's never been super bad, but It stinks, and I have no clue why it happens.

Anyway, even though she's supposed to be more likely to encounter the ghost due to being unconsciously sensitive to the paranormal, it might be difficult for Emily to run into it, because pretty much most of the things I'd associate with the ghost are things she's afraid of. You can't encounter a ghost in the fog as easily if you're too scared to walk around in it, and it's hard to be caught in a dark alley when you're too scared of the dark to go there. Even though everything's awful, Emily's irrational fears might just save her life...that...and I need to work on portraying fear and stuff, anyway.

We're already on page three?

Did that thing just call me a b*tch?

Yep...also, did the eggs get sick? I warned you, the Allure of Neglected Dragons can increase the risk.

EDIT: Ninja'd, I meant the first post.

They're Okay now vipes. I have hatched many an egg using Neglected Dragons and they're the first two to get sick.

If you put them in before they reach 6 days and 10 hours, they will most likely get sick.
It's all about the time, not where you put them.

Anyway, all RPs need a theme song.
Any ideas?

Dunno, I just went driving and gripped the steering wheel so tight my knuckles turned white. My brain is stressed.

That's already a theme song, Maxx. We don't want to copy other people.

Meh...

Vipes, can you check the freaks OOC please?

I did.

K just checking.


So exactly what is going on in the IC? I have all of Marshall's sheet done save his history. Sorry it's taken me so long, I've been out of town this weekend.

Well, so many people have seen the ghost, that the mayor has made a speech saying he doesn't want any more nonsense, and that you'll get sent to the asylum if you mention it. My own character, who has more phobias than I can count, is afraid of this thick fog, so she had a panic attack. Currently, a police officer is considering that she's another insanity case, although she'll bolt before he takes her, if she can't convince him that she had just panicked.
