A Mote in God's Eye

Eva Bloag! http://evandachar.blogspot.com/

The blog isn't publically posted ICly, as many aren't, so if you want your character to have read it and know what's in it, all I ask is that you get in touch with me and provide me with a believable explanation of how that tallies well with "established reality" of events at the time. (Remember, my character is IC all the time in Eve - for me, there are no blank spaces where I don't know what my character was doing. "You broke into my house and read it? While Evanda and Cia were there reading the naughty bits to each other and giggling? OK fine... Where do I live?" as an example of what might be a clash with "Established reality" for me.)

On the other hand, if you want to subtly use it to give yourself clues on, for example, Eva's current mood and generally flesh out interactions with the character by creating a more vivid picture of her for yourself, by all means be welcome. So long as I don't walk away with the feeling your character is psychic, I'm happy.

Or it's there just on the off-chance you might enjoy reading it.

I periodically post back-dated material as well as new posts. Most recently, one for the 03.01.112

Is it bad that I failed to understand what Eva was talking about in her most recent post until part 7?

I was reading reading reading reading... WAIT WAT?!  :eek:

*Reread entire post, couldn't stop snickering for a while.*

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

That's what I was aiming for, Esna... well, except the bit about Part 7. I thought it only went up to 6.

Stitcher? Which book do you mean? I was referencing the Bible when I picked the title.

Cool! Guess I can lump myself in with Larry Niven now when I say "Great Minds think alike."

'd like to point out the excellent writing in this. Story a little from my perspective (I'd assume you'd need IC game details to pick up on it) but the writing in of itself made me read anyway.

* Eva blushes like this  :oops:

I'm looking forward to the entry I'm writing later today. Happy Eva is happy, and as you might have noted, she's a bit prone to wallowing in misery in the privacy of her own head. No clue how it's going to go yet, but I'm looking forward to writing it.

The mind boggles as to what that would be...one things for certain though...bet Gottii could find the manga version of the Princess of Pator there
