She chuckled softly and motioned to the necklace hanging about her throat, "74k for that lovely, and another 70k for the Blue Half-Cape," she replied, wriggling her nose. "Since capes tend to rise very quickly in price on this site, well, ones like these at least, I figured that was probably the best I was going to get. But I accidentally bought the Blue one instead of the Bronze one, which was, I discovered when I double-checked, actually 5k more, although I'm honestly not sure why this should be." As she spoke of the royal cloaks, a touch of longing entered the young woman's eye. "Ah yes... I absolutely love those, but my chances of managing to save up that much are slim to none I think."
For the question, she frowned thoughtfully and shrugged. "Saw some images in my saved files of Zan dream avvies I'd made and got the itch to come back. Things weren't looking good for the place when I left, so I really didn't regret the choice too much. But I'm glad I came back now, what with the place being under capable new leadership."

Celeste nodded.
"Perhaps you can contact the seller and ask if you can send the cape back with an extra 5k for the bronze one? Sometimes more popular colors rise in price higher than others. And I can understand about the rising of prices. The cloaks I want used to be valued at about 300k, and now I am seeing them valued at 700k or possible more."
Her eyes widened in surprise. "Wow, I didn't know the lunar necklace was being valued at so much. I think I need to double check some of the values of items in my inventory."
"Don't despair about the cloak in the Smuggler's Shoppe. My understanding that they will be popping in and out of there. You still have time to save up the money."
"I've been getting on and off Zan for the last couple of years. I left for a while back in 2007 because I got mad at the site. A bit silly, but it was enough for me then. The sad part is that if I hadn't, I could have gotten the cloaks I want so badly now." She shrugs sadly and sighs. "Oh well, that has taught me to check back at least once a month. And since I don't plan to go anywhere now, I'll always have the chance to get them, as long as I can keep saving."
"So, besides questing and visiting shops, what else do you do on Zan?" She asks with a teasing smile of her own.

She cocked her head slightly and then shook it. "Unfortunately, I think the Blue and Bronze Half-capes had different sellers, or I would most definitely make that attempt," she replies, a little sadly, then shrugs. "But such is life. Not a fair thing, for sure. And I hear you about the cloaks. I'm assuming you're talking about the Unhooded ones? If so, I definitely do, since I was wanting the Gold one, which was, when I was last here, the cheapest of the bunch at only about 100k. But i REALLY wanted the Blue one, which was, of course, 500k. And now?" She shakes her head. "Forget it."
A low chuckle echoes from deep within her chest at the surprise on the other female's face when informed of the Moon necklace's value, and she cocks her head slightly. "It was the only one on the Black Market, and I really wanted it. If I had thought I could get it cheaper, I most assuredly would have made the attempt to do so," she explained, a slight note of caution in her tone. "The price guide says it's only worth half what I paid." She shakes her head in disgust at herself for not taking the time to check that first, then smiles wryly. "My loss, but I really do adore it, so I'm not too upset over it."
"As for what else I do around here? Not much really. I used to spend my days hanging out in the Marketplace actually, as most of my friends were constantly sitting on their threads there, and I helped them keep them up. Other than that, I spent my time training and doing good deeds and jobs for money and experience and karma."

"I am not so sure about the guide. Some of those items seem missed valued to me, but I do understand how hard it can be to update. And it at least gives most people an idea of what to list there items at."
"I always have a saying for myself and my husband when we're debating on buying something. And it usually is 'is it worth that to you?' I have bought some items at a higher value because I just couldn't live without them anymore. It is upsetting to me when they fall in value, but usually not too badly. After all, it was worth it to me."
"You sound like me. I can usually be found lurking around the marketplace. I havn't posted in other's threads in a while, which is remiss of me. Though I admit, part of the reason is that I am a bit shy. Silly for an online site, I know."
"Lately I have been a part of a roleplay, one of my favorite things to do on a forum board." she says animatedly.

She inclines her head slightly in agreement about the Guide being a touch difficult to update, then cocks her head slightly. "I run by that same motto, actually," she says lightly, her normal eye twinkling impishly. "If I feel it's worth it, dangit I'll do it, even if I don't really appreciate having to pay a higher price. My momma taught me to save a buck-although sometimes I'm not very good at it-so yeah..."
A chuckle again comes from her concerning the comment about her habits, and she smiles soothingly. "No need to be shy. You should know that by now," she says, her tone gently teasing. "Zan is a good neighborhood, as it were, a good community."
"Ooh... What kind?" she remarks curiously.

"I finished the coronation quests, but not the actual event itself. I think I have about half of the items. I'm hoping to get a whole set in order to help furnish my quest and help others out. Of course, it's hard to that with a whole set when I am wanting to keep certain portions of it." She laughs. "Do you have every item already, Yoari?"
"That is one of the things I appreciate about Zantarni. It really is helping me with my shyness. And I am becoming less shy in real life, which really helps me out in all respects. My husband is still pretty shy, which forces me to be outgoing in order to get things done. So now I am trying to turn around and help him with his shyness. He is really bad about it!"
"I'm only in two at the moment. One is a 1x1 I am having with my husband in the new subforum, which is titled 'In the Middle....again' Feel free to read it, but it is already pretty long. I think we have five pages. If you really want to join, I can ask him and maybe we could move it to the general role-play forum. The other one is called 'The Heroic Adventures of Mary Sue and Hero Support' and is still open for joinining. I am having a lot of fun in both of them."
"Do you roleplay?"

"I'd like to get all of the Quests done but doing so could be tricky without the funding to get certain things I would need," she remarks thoughtfully, then flushes. "Sorry. Just thinking out loud."
"I'm still horribly shy to be honest. I only approach people when I'm looking to buy something from them as a general rule, so those friends I do have on here are few." She cocks her head thoughtfully and smiles for her words. "I didn't know you were married. That's awesome, and even moreso that you're helping him to be more outgoing."
"Sounds neat. And no, it's quite alright. I'll leave you two be, don't worry." She winks teasingly, then laughs softly at the other. "I actually recall seeing that one when i poked my nose into the Role Play forum," she explains, just so Celeste doesn't get the wrong idea and get offended. "I am a Role Player yes, but I'm highly selective about who I role play with, since I've been in a few where I just can't stand the way the other person does things and so have pulled out." She shrugs slightly. "I'm in none on here at the moment, but my friend and I have our own private site where we do one on ones, and I'm involved in at least three-soon to be four-on another site."

She nods happily. "We have been together six years now. Our anniversary is in February. And yeah, we try to support each other in overcoming some of our problems. The biggest ones are shyness and self-esteem."
"I have unfortunately been in roleplays where the other players have ruined the game for me. What is your roleplay about?" She asked curiously.

"Impressive," she says, truly meaning it.
"It depends on our mood, with the private site. The others are a Winged Cat rp and two Dragonriders of Pern Hatchings."

"I have thought about joining a Dragonriders of Pern roleplay before, having really enjoyed the series, but never have. I always feel weird about joing a roleplay based off such a set world. Because I constantly forget little details, like making up the world as I go along. Of course, it sometimes leads to complications, what with the whole forgetting of details. The winged cat one is intriguing though. Do you play the cats, or people who have found them? It reminds me of two children's books I have that are about winged cats who leave to find a new home in the countryside." Celeste comments, her eyes unfocusing slightly as she recalls the story.

"I enjoy the DRoP roleplays immensely, myself, but then, for the longest time, they were pretty much all I played. I cut my teeth-as it were-learning how to play humans in that world, as, up to that point, all I had really played were wolves. It's not as hard as one would think. If you would like, I could perhaps introduce you to roleplaying in that world via a private one on one? Although I do warn you, I don't, as a rule, play by the canon rules in the books. I like adding in new colors and making up new species of pet and whatnot."
"As for the Winged Cat one. We play the cats-known as Felis-and they are based off of actual Onsite Cats we own. The site itself revolves around the Felis, so we just took our favorite ones and stuck them into a plotline." She chuckles softly. "My character is actually based off of one of my RL cats, so he's sometimes easy and sometimes hard to play."
She suddenly squirms excitedly and does a little spin. "Oh! Did you see! I got my cloak!" She stills and chuckles once more at her own silliness, but her normal eye continues to glow. "Someone was kind enough to donate it to me."

"Echolisa, I am looking for the Lime Green Royal Cloak. I have managed to purchase the teal one already for myself."
"Congrats on getting the cape Sapphyre! People are really kind on here." She smiles at the twirling girl, admiring how well her outfit has come together.
"It may be interesting to do a one on one Pern roleplay. I will admit to not having read the books in a few years. I am currently re-reading my Xanth novels. Mostly because I have finished my brand new series and have to wait until next January for the next book in it." She sighed, wishing she could read it sooner.
"It doesn't bother me to throw new things into a world. I think it would be fun to imagine what else might be there that wasn't mentioned in the books. After all, it is a big world, who knows what might be lurking in the unexplored parts...."
"I have not really played in a roleplay as an animal. I think the closest I have gotten was about eight or so years ago when I was writing a story with some friends based on our neopets." She gives a wink and a grin. "I must admit, I was caught by the website and the games."
