*Wait, can we open up the question of non romantic stuff that could fall into problem area? Like, familial, friend stuff?*
*You really just have to understand the basic concept of that family members aren't going to make out or **** eachother. Friends don't do that either. It's not something you should get hung up about rules wise, it's more of like.. you should know what is and isnt allowed.*
*Sighs...Elendon is just friends with Raphael right now. I did specify that as Friendly, meaning no romantic interest behind it.*
*Also, hugging and kidding around isn't allowed? I do that sort of stuff with my IRL friends on the daily.*
*You kiss your irl friends.... and make out with them....? Like hugging is fine if the meaning is platonic.
And we all assumed it wasn't platonic due to 1) your past history 2) Elendon's specific history with Raphael. Along with the fact you haven't addressed that pallghost is a minor (At least to my knowledge).*
*You said kidding, not kissing. Kissing? Hell no. Maybe a friendly peck on the cheek with those who are girls, but otherwise, no.*
*And understandable, but with Raphael+Lore going on, Elendon has backed up to just friends, albeit very close ones, but there's nothing romantic or like FwB between them right now.*
*Kidding around in the terms of flirting isn't allowed. You can live without having your characters kiss other characters, right? I mean, I'm a mod here. If you don't like the rules, you can literally just leave the thread.*
*Alright. Also, I'm not looking to be a problem, and I'm sorry I caused this, at least in part. I honestly came here for RP, non-romantic RP too, after I ceased to be able to meet with my IRL DnD group... I never, EVER, meant for this to go this way, and I can stop, at least with most of my characters. Some relationships (Specifically Soldaer and Nia) are going to remain, but I can back off and stop with almost all of them.*
*Again, I publicly apologize for what I did, most sincerely, and will do my best to stop this in the future, with the obvious exception of my one, permanent, couple with Soldaer and Nia. I'll even talk to Noi about retconning a bit with Bitrelyn and Torinn.*
*Thank you. That would seriously make me feel better. As long as it isn't a part of every single character you have I honestly don't have a problem. Both Chris and I have characters that are in romantic relationships as well. We just don't up play it, announce it, or do anything romantic on the main thread with their partners. That's my main issue. That, and the age gap thing.*

*Hey all! Done with the movie. went to see the new Jurassic World. Pretty good.*
*Anyways, pick a character for RP. I've got all of mine open. (Gonna have Soldaer suddenly realized "[1GP]! I've got a family to worry about," and dip from Atemos' PM thing.)*
*Want to do Raphael+Elendon and someone else? Like Meroving and Tohono or Gwen and Soldaer?*
*Raphael+Elendon works.*
Raphael quickly rushes up to Elendon on the roof, with multiple BTLs. "I am so so sorry I... I got carried away, I'm sorry for forgetting, um... Um... do the extra sandwiches make it up?" The scared angel states
He laughs. "It is fine, my friend. There's nothing to make up for."
They continue to fiddle as they set the BTLs down. "Okay... um... Anything I can do?"
He chuckles. "Like what? I fully understand you are busy with Lore. There is nothing wrong with that."
"I... I wasn't spending time with Lore, I was resting and I missed our lunch and am now wasting time with you." They say, trying to keep a calm head in front of their god. I... I just feel like I should make it up to you for my laziness........ I always feared this would happen."
He smiles, and drapes an arm over their shoulders. "There is nothing wrong with it, Raphael. I haven't given you any directives or missions, so you are ALLOWED to do what you want."
Raphael freezes up and paints a smile across their face to keep up appearances. "I... my purpose is to help others, and I feel I betrayed it... if me and you are friends, then I betrayed your friendship. You probably have stuff to do and I wasted your time and I... I should of done better."
Elendon sighs, and shakes his head. "Raphael, I know what your purpose is, and you haven't. Remember, you always need to take time for yourself in order to properly server others."
"My head knows that, but my heart doesn't." They say simple, munching on a sandwich
He smiles a little. "It will learn eventually, my friend." He gives them a friendly peck on the cheek, before grabbing one of the sandwiches himself, and starting to eat it.
"Good..." They say, smiling slightly at the kiss. "I... mmm... So how are you? If I may comment, it appears to me that you do no socialize a lot with other tavern patrons, although I could very well be wrong."
He chuckles. "You would be right about that. I don't socialize too much. Most people find a deity, even the avatar of one, rather intimidating."
"I would agree with such a statement, at least at face value." They say, finishing a sandwich. "Um... Anything interesting happened today?"
