Mostly I want to show off the absolute craziness in her store and show how they might deal with a potential threat or actual threat. It's a bundle of magical kookiness. And of course the reactions involved from Darnell and Sam with that!
Everyone ends up in a Wal-Mart sooner or later, whether they want to be in there (like Deena!) or not :P What a great place to meet someone! If ya catch my drift...
Well, since her Walmart's in Darnell's neighbourhood---or, more accurately, one of Darnell's neighbourhoods---our yahoos could be popping in for any reason. Hell, we could set something shortly after the stuff with FLAG because Sam could be stateside without having to make a special trip down.
This is slightly off topic but I would like you to see an excerpt from one of the threads in progress elsewhere. It's Sam talking to Darnell:
“I'm home, yeah, though that might not make as much of a difference as you'd expect it to. There are a couple of other adepts in town, but I only know 'em by sight; we're not up in each other's business at all. The people in the mix I actually know are all either in Edmonton or Montreal, and I don't know how much help they're going to be because Felix's people are all off to a destination wedding, and the Quebecois... I can't take you to. They're a last resort for a few reasons. That I can't subject you to Jean-Luc is just one.” Dude's crazy, Sam thought, sighing. She would've wondered how he would react to an American, particularly an American working out of England for the better part of the year, but set the thought aside with some effort and no small NOPE. Now was not the time.
He's done alright by Sam (and has REALLY motivated her to improve on her crappy, barely conversational French) but he remains a little too intense for her and kinda scary. She'll still crash at his place if she can't stay with Donna Cherry if she has to go to Montreal rather than spend money on a hotel if she doesn't have to, but that's facilitated by knowing she's got an in to his goodwill by being able to make his jerseys look like new.
Yeah, I'm sorry for any slang I've missed mentioning. Also, for format stuff, do you want the rundown on DW html?
I'm sorry! It's weird to explain. To end an effect like italics, it's [/i] only in the less-than and greater-than alligators instead. I should have put it that way to begin with.
Here . . . you can see the HTML tags with them ACTING like HTML tags because I've added underscores
This will be a strikeout
[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<_/s_>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]
Here . . . you can see the HTML tags with them ACTING like HTML tags because I've added underscores
<_s_>This will be a strikeout<_/s_> <_small_>This will small<_/small_> <_b_>This will be bold<_/b_> <_em_>This will be italics/emphasis<_/em_> (HTML5 shifted to "em" over "i") And to insert a hyperlink is <_a href="Link goes here"_>Text goes here<_/a_>
And remember, with VERY few exceptions (probably none you'll ever use/need), all tags need the opening and closing tag (the closing tag is the one with the slash). If you forget to close a tag, EVERYTHING after your opening tag will have the format you forgot to cut off. XD;;;
Also, this isn't just Dreamwidth. This is basic web coding, called HTML. ^,^ (I really should back on the ball with my own web dev stuff. 9,9)
It'll work, I'll get it to work. Basic coding might not have been my friend in the past but it's basically just no slash thing and then slash thing to make it work, so I think even I can't mess that up!
Also, the error message in my comment above is because the browser (at least mine, and probably ANY) recognized that I was "trying" to write HTML but also knew it was "bad" code (deliberately bad in this case so you could see it). Use those tags without the underscores and you'll be fine. =3
Also you can combine tags. Like for instance, sometimes you may have seen me add OOC-ish comments in narrative for Darnell that I wanna throw in for the other player to read but isn't actually part of the narrative proper, I'll use both the "s" and "small" tags. XD
That's not necessarily a DWRP convention, btw, just something I do. XD;;; But it's an example of combining tags.
I'm just sorry it's going to be a few days before I'm on top of things enough for a thread, but that gives us a little more time to figure out what scenario we want, at least?
