Dorm association

[Phenix]

Phenix sat in the common room of the dorm waiting for the other members too come. hopfully the would all come so that they could start. Meanwile he waited he reed a book called " the mysteries of midle earth"

[Aulë]

Chokang walked in to see Phenix having already arrived.
"Greetings Phenix," he grinned, "Although I am no longer residing in the Dorms, I decided that I might as well turn up anyway. Maybe we could organise some activities between the Dorms and the Dwarf Darrow?"
The Dwarf eyed off a rather comfortable looking sofa in the corner, and prompty sat down in it.

Ewen entered the room, her bag hanging off her shoulder and her books in her arm.

"Chokang! I thought you moved to the Darrow. Well, it's still nice to see you once in awhile." She said, and smiled. She continued walking to her room. She dropped off her books and put up her hair. She went back into the commons.

"Phenix, what's going on in here?" She asked, not hearing about the dorm associations.

[Phenix]

" You don't know?...I thought you where a part of this...oh well" Phenix said " the dorm association thingi is having their first meeting now"

[Aulë]

"I believe we are suppost to organise some activities for the Dorms and Darrow," added Chokang, "There have already been a couple of parties, so lets try and think of something different. Maybe a quiz night, or sports carnival?"
Chokang stroked his red beard as he thought of all the possibilities. He looked out the window and saw a squirrel bounding through the trees.
"I know!" he exclaimed with a shout, "How about a squirrel hunt?"

[Phenix]

" a squirrl hunt...." Phenix repeated..." that could work... althought I wonder if there's any squirrls near here" he then said, not knowing that a squirrls just had been in a tree outside

[lossenandunewen]

"Oh, I remember now. This was one of those things we signed up for at the fair no? Well then I am supposed to be here, and also in the drama club when that starts. So you're thinking of a squirrel hunt? I don't know if that would be for everybody. I'm not sure if chasing a wild animal is at the top of the list. Maybe since the Easter (and other holidays) are now, we could do something like an egg hunt in and out of the dorms. We could give a prize to the one to find the most eggs. And if you want Chokang, you can hide an egg in a squirrels nest." Ewen suggested.

[Phenix]

" your die works aswell....maybe we should try that out and then later we can have the squirrl hunt" Phenix said... "
When should we have it then?" he then asked the two "

[Aulë]

"Yes, I suppose that would do," replied Chokang.
He looked out of the wondow to see that the sun was starting to rise well into the sky.
"Well, I suppose we should head off to our other classes," he noted, "See you next week!"


OOC: Actually Chokang won't see you next week- He'll be off plotting Heren Istarion's ruin. ;)

OOC: Guys, make sure to use correct spelling, capitilization, and grammar.

When speaking, use this format:

"Arthas? Why are you in such haste? Surely you are not going to war! Arthas, you cannot go for if you do, I shall not be here when you return," said the frail woman.

Notice the comma at the end, followed by a " mark. If there is a question or exclamation, replace the comma with a ? or a !.

While speaking when an interruption appears:

"My love, you have left me here to die! I shall waste away 'till I am but a withered leaf flailing without life through the desolate winds. Why must you go to war when you know our child comes soon within my womb? Arthas, surely you wish to stay," said Jaina, her arms outstretched to her husband in gear of war, "Please you must stay for me!"

Notice when the action interrupted the speaking, a comma was used followed by quotation mark, and then a comma at end of phrase, with a space with quotation following.

While speaking for more than one paragraph:

"No Jaina, it is my duty. The pride to fight for my country is more rewarding than a thousand children, and a thousand of you. My sword shall fall many men today, and I shall cry 'Long live Harad!' with every thrust! I shall return, though if you are foolish enough to wither away then I will be glad to see your presence missing from my household. Begone woman!

"Oft do you cry and clutch at my cloak, but I fight for you, and our children! You selfish wench with your weathered face and wretched hands! I know not what I ever saw in your old eyes and black heart. Goodbye," he yelled, his voice hoarse and wild.

"No Arthas! What are you doing! Surely you are mad!" Jaina cried, clutching her pregnant abdomen as her husband unsheathed his blade, "Arthas step no closer! Please... please do not harm me! I carry your son," she whimpered, and looked at her husband one final time before her head was severed from her shoulders.

OK OK so I was feeling a tad morbid at the time!:p Anyways, notice how when Arthas was speaking for more than a paragraph, the first paragraph did not end with a " mark, but the second one started with one. You always end the speaking with a " mark, but do not end paragraphs with one. Also notice how when Jaina, a new speaker came in, she began a new paragraph. ALWAYS START A NEW PARAGRAPH WHEN ANOTHER SPEAKER TALKS!

-Now I know most of you are quite familiar with this, but I just wanted to reinforce it, and I'll probably add it to the FAQ page or something...-

I believe that you missed a quotation mark at the end.....;)
And I'm pretty sure that I followed the 'rules' in my posts.:p

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

No I did not, Aule. It was a two paragraph talking portion if you read it correctly. A " mark does not come after the end of the first or ending paragraph, it begins the next!

Also, I know you do follow the rules and are quite an accomplished RPer; I look forward to kicking some Belegost arse on ME RPG. ;) I just felt like typing a grammar post.
