    Up to archenemy I left it open. Time of day, maybe day, definitely the month are very helpful to know. I guess cool enough to wear a jacket is late March to end of September.

    Sorted. August before the start of Asip? in which first murder is on October 12th.

    No, that's too close. I'd say a year before ASiP begins.

    My friends and I play this game where we tell one of the members three things they would get high off of (excluding drugs and similar things). My results were "chocolate, roleplay, Sherlock", "knowledge, deduction, British TV", "Sherlock, debates, being a smartass", and "Benedict Cumberbatch's voice, the smell of books, coffee". I'm surprised at how accurate all of them are.

    Well? Did you succeed to bring them into the fold of Sherlock fandom? Very Happy

    Not all of them liked it; they thought it was too dark. One person was partially into it. However, the school art teacher is deep into the fandom.

    Get them hooked into Elementary first, then after they become desensitized bring them into SHERLOCK again.

    Any chance for the aforementioned teacher to be introduced to roleplaying without him/her knowing your forum id?

    I wouldn't think so. She rarely has free time.

    I don't see it, but I'll check when I decide to get on my laptop.

    Hmm...

    Btw, do you have a fanvid or two that might be able to show us the essence of your character or at least the kind of air that she carries around her?

    Vid made by a fan about certain character or circumstances. Or maybe a picture, unless your current avatar is supposed to represent Katrina Greene.

    I don't have a video but the face claim I decided on is this (but imagine the eye color as brown and a slightly darker skin tone):

    My current profile picture represents her too, but it's in black and white, doesn't show her whole face, and is pre-hair dye.

    ^^ Thanks.

    What do you think if we play the RP with pictures. Like attaching a picture that represent certain expression or state of existence or even the inside of a room where our character currently is in.

    Elaborate more on that.

    We post a reply contains text and picture of something that we want our fellow RP-ers to be able to see and form their own conclusions from. Some sort of visual aid to enhance our reply.

    That's not a bad idea, except if you're trying to show emotion, it would be difficult.

    That's the point. A particular quirk of eyebrow for example, speaks a lot even without words. It can be interpreted in several different ways by other people's character instead of stuck on a single explanation given by those who attached that picture.

    No, that's not what I mean. Wait, does the image have to look like the character? Or is it just the expression?

    Also, it could be a bit difficult for me as a lot of the time I'm here is on mobile.

    Expression if that's what needed. That's alright, we do it according to each of our arrangement at the time but if necessary then the option is already there. Imagine describing the chaos of Sherlock's flat, does a few lines of descriptions can do it justice? What if we need the complete picture?

    But I think there should be a set size for the pictures so that they don't hog the screen.
