Not quite... that chummy. Plus some of the things Connor says about being part of the family are... well, more than a bit unnerving...

[lantzblades]

Whatever Alice, think what you want. I don't care

[Arch-Magos Winter]

One of us, one of us, one of us...

Good harvest this year Forest.... well, it will be now you're in the family.

This is turning into a horror movie plot Lantz. Sorry I ever doubted you could do survival horror.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

Well, we all know how this ends.

Punching Cage in a Bear Suit

EDIT: And hey, Forest's theme is "The Wicker Man" anyway, right? Fits perfectly.

Yeah, it is.  So that's pretty hilarious.

Some RP The Pain, so we can have Forest scream about THE BEES

It'd be too good

[YOLF]

Make it The Pain from Cobra Days.

NO, NOT THE BEES! AHHHHH!!

[lantzblades]

Moving on, posted, waiting on you mike

Not the Bees

So is the Family going to throw Forest in a Wicker Man?

[Alice]

And this my friends is why you don't post when you're uber tired. But now at least Elf can post with Lancer, which is always a plus.

[lantzblades]

Considering the number of people who could have seen through obfuscate I think that assuming the invisibility working automatically is a bit unfair.

Lancer, Forest, Rider, Ruby, Satoshi and Tsukasa all have skill enough to detect the invisible as well as Rin and Connor.

just pointing it out

[Cherry Lover]

I think the way they decided Forest was part of their family based on the fact that she saved Sakura is a bit weird (I mean, all she was doing was being a good person), but the rest seems pretty fine really.

And, yeah, whilst I'm not going to say the obsfucate could definitely be detected, I think it is unfair to assume it cannot be. Your abilities are not going to be completely foolproof.

[Alice]

The rest isn't fine. It's creepy. Though then you're the guy that keeps telling me that there's nothing wrong with Women in Refrigerators whatsoever and it's not sexist or harmful, so what the hell do I know, huh?

[Cherry Lover]

No, that's not what I'm telling you. What I'm telling you is that writing a story which doesn't make a deliberate and concerted effort to overcome traditional stereotypes is not sexist. Intentionally (or even accidentally, to some extent) using those stereotypes because you feel they're "correct" is, yes, but just ignoring them is not, even if it results in a woman taking a "traditional" role just because that is in this case the most logical thing to happen.
