In hindsight, it would have been a good idea to have some kind of orientation or workshop on how to roleplay with courtesy for others. This was the first roleplay heavy game that I played, and I can think of several times when I behaved inappropriately on the pretense of it being in-character. And other times when I didn't maintain character/player separation very well, and that led to a lot of hurt feelings.

I check back now and again. Nice to see the old stomping grounds, even emptied.

Parrots be crushin',? 
Sacred space area, around the ruins. 
It reminds me of the cavern system that was there before the ruins there were so thoroughly ruined.
