Asterisks, number or pound signs, doubled tildes and -= =- are used to seperate action and thoughts from spoken words.

The doubled parentheses are used for Out-Of-Character speech, or the author's words; the exchange in SL27 about slow-dancing to NIN is a good example of this.

WHY is all of this going on? Well, because it's fun! Oh, wait, I mean... *Grin* 'Scuse me. Anyways... The ORP is an ongoing game that incorporates two unlikely generes- Romance and Espionage(Sp? It always looks funny...), or at least it has _recently_ (See SLs 11-48 for further proof).

(More on the elements incorporated into TSLC and The ORP in general can be found here.)

The Octabulonian Galaxy is ruled by an Emperess, Her Majesty Marilena Greene. Citizens that _don't_ have a price on their heads include Neets, Beej, Carrot, Trinity, Fennyl RaisinCain and Spiffy BugCatcher.

The Bertwillians are a sort of cultish section of the populace, hell-bent on capturing the throne, throwing out all the laws and living like hedonistic heathens for the rest of their natural lives. Some of the Berts are Ruth, Ti, Fern, Fennel RaisinCain and Sazan DeMers.

The Meddlers are neutral. They are mercenaries, after a fashion, hired by people for various tasks. They do a little of everything, from character assassinations to following cheating spouses to finding lost, kidnapped or runaway kids... If the price is right, they'll do it. Fraser, Celaré, Jonas, Laurie and Jiffy PopSpringer are current and former Meddlers.

The Innocent Bystanders are pretty much non-ORP charcters that ORP Cs talk to. Ninjara, Lea'adra and Aeric Ravensmith, Tril'caith and Bel'flyt ShrikesBerry, Feldath ShrikesBerry, Avian HawksBerry, Zelda, and Kyle Stranger from IWT are TIB's.
