"Important"? Was it more game-breaking than it looked?

[ His nebulously/formerly Catholic guilt sensors are going into overdrive here. ]

[insinning]

Um. I broke level cap.

[ Why does Michel look like a confessional priest he must confess his sins to]

After I accidentally pk'd the forum mod.

[userunfriendly]

...He's bonus experience? One of the programmers put a target on his back on purpose.

[ JUST SAYING. Vogel is hereby absolved of responsibility etc. ]

How do you PK someone "on accident"?

[insinning]

[WELL]

Um. I might have...miscalculated the multiplier of three people equipped against a macabre dancer.

[userunfriendly]

Three people.

[ "Equipped."

...So Vogel meant to stab someone with other players and just didn't intend it to be a critical hit. Well. ]

[insinning]

Mithrun hit me with two people so I thought it'd be okay since I survived.

[But he is a tank and not as fragile as he is in real life. The wonders of armor]

[userunfriendly]

[ Heh. ]

...Someone had to test PvP, after all.

[insinning]

...you're happy.

[WINTER??]

[userunfriendly]

You don't think it's a little absurd?

[ SORRY VOGEL he wasn't there for The Horrors. ]

[insinning]

[Covering his face]

I mean. Mithrun had a chicken head, but that's not the point. It was such a realistic death!

...except for the sparkles.

[userunfriendly]

Realistic?

[ Like... a movie, he supposes? With a chicken head. And sparkles. ]

Their tone and graphical choices seem a little half-baked...

[insinning]

Aha...it's a little like that, yeah. It seems to be whatever they want.

[When Michel puts it like that]

[userunfriendly]

[ Anyway, what's important here is: ]

Did the admin resolve the problem? ...And your height?

[insinning]

...I think so. The height...the reset is my punishment, I guess.

[Maybe Winter will notice that he's a lot more graceful without the extra ten cm]

[userunfriendly]

[ "Reset," hm? Maybe Michel can look forward to finding himself suddenly skinnier again if he ever manages to irritate an admin. ]

Does it bother you?

[insinning]

Hm. Not really. It's actually easier to move now that I'm back to my normal height.

[ Bemused]

It was nice to see what it looked like from the other side of things.

[userunfriendly]

[ Having seen both sides of things... that almost gets another smile from Michel. ]

You might still grow. ...And then you'll likely trip over a few tables in real life as well.

[insinning]

[He can't even be that mad about that. Still, rude.]

I hope I don't become that clumsy again.

[userunfriendly]

[ It's not rude! It's fair forewarning from cruel experience. ]

It passes. But you've gained some perspective.

[insinning]

Mm. I guess I learned not to be ambitious.

[Have a tiny smile. He's being a little silly about it]

[userunfriendly]

...Not that ambition takes time?

[ It's difficult not to like Vogel. He gets a tiny smile back. ]

[insinning]

[Ah, it wasn't such a bad joke. He looks happier now]

Mm. That too. But I think I can accept I've grown as much as I can.

[userunfriendly]

[ That, and Michel is a purveyor of bad jokes himself... ]

You're about the same height as my older brother. The rest is a question of... [ in slightly more dire tones, considering Georges: ] ...how you carry yourself.

[insinning]

[If Michel is observant and familiar with how the very rich raised their children, he'll notice Sinclair has a good posture, even if he holds himself a little more demurely than most boys his age tended to. His hands are usually clasped in front of him or behind his back, it they're not occupied with a weapon]

How I carry myself?

[userunfriendly]

[ Michel, unfortunately, is quite familiar. Although he looks at Vogel again as if really considering this for the first time. The proper posture is better than a slouch, at least. But... Vogel isn't exactly going to be projecting beyond his space with that demure way of holding himself. ]

Nevermind that.
