No hate! :o
 
I love a lady with a sense of adventure! I hear Malgrave Trail bugs out a lot. We can put a little mud on the tires. What do ya say? Wanna go get stuck? ;)

Three weeks ago I decided I was going to let my IRL hair grow out of the red color I have in it. I used to have a head of fire red hair, before I had kids and they sucked it all out :( Now, it is going whitish grey color. Looks kinda like the color of hair I have on my esper in game.
 
My hubby took one look at my character and started laughing. He says I always make characters the look like me and this one, with the hair color, looks like me. Thank goodness it's a Cassian or else I would have hit him LOL.

This is a baby squirrel I rescued.
 
 
 
This is amazing.
 
 
 
This is an actually classy Hitler joke.

I know y'all are my friends and I KNOW y'all are not hatin' on Panera.

Panera's ok.  I kinda found them to be overpriced for the quality.  They're a franchise though, so YMMV.
 
I live in a town that has a lot of non-chain restaurants featuring locally-grown stuff, so I'm spoiled as well.
 
Maybe they really are run by Protostar.	
----
			
Protostar owned or not, I love Panera. Those clones can make some amazing sourdough soup bowls. :P
 
Protostar: Putting amazing soup inside a sourdough roll...for money!
 
As for the price, I know it's like the Starbucks of bread (I like Starbucks too, don't hate).
 
The way I see it, it's expensive for coffee/bread, but it's cheap for luxury. :P

			Panera is one of the few places people like me who have a lot of allergies can go to and the employees will helpfully direct me towards things I can consume. I've never had a bad experiences with them. You can even give them money so someone else can have a free meal. What's not to love about them? #payingthingsforward

So, when I'm not wasting away at the desk of never-ending conference calls (Hello, Protostar Redundancy Coordinator!  What can I do for you today?), my lunch/dinner options within walking distance of my house are....
 
- The mexican grill next door.  Best grilled steak tacos you have ever had.
- The 5-star italian restaurant down the street.  The chef's the owner, and the prices are really good.
- The other 5-star italian restaurant two blocks away.  Family style, yum.
- The Thai place a couple blocks down run by the nice old couple from Siam.  Amazing curry.
- The irish pub/cajun restaurant a few blocks away.  Yup.  A pint of guiness and some red beans & rice, please.
- The rotisserie steak and chicken place.  A little pricy, but amazing drinks - good place for a dinner date.
- The japanese restaurant that's famous for its nigiri and does amazing homemade teriyaki.
- The family-owned sandwich shop by the movie theater that makes the best italian sub i've ever had.
- The burger bar that will put literally *anything* you want on a half-pound burger and make it look and taste awesome.  They also do beer-battered deep-fried bacon with maple syrup for dipping.  Consult your doctor before you go.
 
.... there's more, but I should probably stop now before I am added to every single Rivals list on Evindra and blacklisted from the coffee thread for life.  But yeah, Panera doesn't really excite me anymore since I moved here.  I am soooo spoiled now.

The other night in Thermok Hold I found uhm... The zap zap bot that floats, he was hanging out all by himself by the gambling house on the hill. Just floating there.
 
Anyway, about 5 minutes last I notice an artillery bot hiding behind some barrels not too far away. No engineer in site.
 
So I start doing the quest where you kill the hidden spies. In that area at the bottom of the stairs by the crafting section I come across the bots randomly helping people fight the guy that spawns there. O.o
 
They were hanging out alone for at least 20 minutes. No clue where the engineer was. But it was hilarious.

Actually, WildStar should just scrap everything and become "Panera Simulator 2014". Two factions. One side works there, the other side orders. PvP is pretty much a game of, "No, I said NO onions." "You totally ordered onions..." "I know what I ordered!"
 
The faction rivalry in that game would be intense! Dominion vs. Exile would be NOTHING compared to that.

.-. When will the daily grind in Blighthaven be done for me.... and for that matter, why can't other people start the raids. Okay, done for the evening, now I get to sit in housing and finish making the Church of Kael. So what's everyone else up to...
 
 
And...
 
Rocio... fanfiction is <3 but I prefer my own OC stuff instead.

{| class="blockquote"
What is... OC?

Ohhh...
 
*sigh* Something I can't seem to do!  /cry
 
I wish I could write original things... I always seem to be living in someone else's universe. My first serious Fanfictions were "Dragonrider's of Pern" Then I moved on to writing my own offshoots of my Favorite Final Fantasies.  I've even done Biblical fanfiction.
 
Just give me a scene or a setting and a universe I'll sure to put my own character in it.  Ask me to make a scene or setting or universe and I'm sure to kill myself agonizing over dumb details.

Original Content

But let's face it. People nowadays can't be bothered (or don't have the attention span or time) to set down and read a fanfiction. I really appreciate all my readers super-lots...

Never heard that definition before... and I've been writing for 20 years. I've always heard "OC" to mean Original Character.

You can easily exist in someone else's universe and have original content and characters. I've been doing it since I was 14, with Star Trek. My first ever novel in that series is one I have worked on for 10 years, and I am on the final re-write; finally! It's at 615 pages so far, and I still have about 130 to edit from my last go-round.

I snail mail all my friends, real fountain pen with real wax seals I pour myself.
 
But yeah, Original Character is what I know of. I used to write fanfiction, fairly popular one that remains NAMELESS I TELL YOU and ...
 
... Ladie has somehow got me standing on a diving board in game in the buff. So, yeah, Stormtalon, Exiles, Ladie's house. Annnnny and all.

I guess you can call Rocio an original character, though I use a lot of NPCs from the game, sometimes they're obscure so I make them my own.

Whatever works!
 
I'd link people to my work, but... ehh... the genre can be an acquired taste for many of my stories. I'd hate to freak people out. lol

Rocio,
 
I didn't see you response because alas I can be slower than molasses at times. To me writing is high art and while it may not get the attention it deserves these days. It is only because so few can read.......

{| class="blockquote"
*raises eyebrow*  Slash fanfic is the first genre that comes to mind that would call out for being an acquired taste, something a bit less esoteric though?
 
(Not a fan-ficter myself, but several friends are.)

I don't think it is so few can read really.  As Harry Potter, ASoUE, et al, showed, they can read when they want to, they just don't.  Insert the reason you think here, cause it would get political fast, and not really appropriate to discuss here.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Nope, I don't write slash; I think I'm one of the lonely few that doesn't. 
 
I can PM you, if you like, but I'm wary of "spilling it" on the forums.

			ouch work sidetrack! darn work interfering with my WS communications :angry:  and to boot...home time! night y'all rock!

Oh, and Rocio, so far I've enjoyed your RP in threads.
 
 
 
Wonder if we could get some Original chars created in some of these threads added to game. (Would need to give up legal ownership etc, of course.)

Most slash violates one of my main dislikes in Fan Fiction, namely it often completely changes main characters motivations, personality, etc for no reason other than to do the slash.

{| class="blockquote"
Rocio gets pretty rowdy.
 
I doubt Rocio could be placed in game. He bends (but not breaks) some of the rules of the game, such as being an Esper who's strongly Psychic which is not really an ability that Espers are supposed to have, but I let him have it because that's his genetics from Arboria. He's augmented but maintains most of his sanity, though it's thanks to the interventions of scientists.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Actually, I meant more of the support characters people have created, not the player characters.  A barmaid in some bar in Illium for instance, or a granok who's drunk a bit to much and thinks he can walk through walls.  There are dozens of characters in the game who don't have names, just XAS scientist, etc...but several are more than likely refered to and given a name/personality in FF.
