roleplay is a collaborative effort and i’ve been very lucky.
On a whim on August 11th, 2013 I made this account and the next day (August 12th) I put it in motion. Good ol’ historian(-)sehun transformed into this, and even if it weren’t meant to be anything to this degree, I’m glad it happened this way. I’m glad to be iso2108. My roleplay writing, experience, and Sehun have all grown a lot. It’s been two years since that first day and this is probably the longest I’ve been active on a muse and honestly, probably the last muse I will have in KRP. You can read more of me reflecting here instead. I don’t know how long it will last but I want to see Sehun’s story play out longer. I figured it was time to do a list of sorts. This will probably be the only one I make unless it’s another list of recommendations for specific things.
This is sort of like a follow forever but it’s better described as a list of people who I appreciate. I am not very good at being sentimental but I do know that over the course of this account’s lifespan I have met a lot of people and Sehun and I wouldn’t be the same without having met them. There are people on this list who are active, inactive, or somewhat active and I think they are worth a look or at least looking at what they can show you as a roleplayer or a person. I just think they are neat people. Some have multiple accounts.
Now to the list!
Class 2-A
I don’t talk out of character with many people because I’m a fairly formal person to most and I’ve been told that’s pretty intimidating. I tend to feel awkward doing small talk and I’m just not good at casual conversations right off the bat. I know I’m not always the most emotional either. I know I don’t talk a lot about things that bother me and it’s for a myriad of reasons that isn’t worth delving into now, but please know I care very much for those below being there. Whether or not you know it when I’m in a bad mood and we speak I feel better (this happens a lot because I rarely tell people when I’m in a bad mood). These are people who I have talked to OOC often or used to when they were active and I feel they are still great people to learn from. Without them, I probably wouldn’t have developed this muse as much as I have. I know it’s a short list, but these are people who I trust quite a bit on this crazy site.
xblvd - If it wasn’t for the account I had prior to this one we wouldn’t have met, right? I’m glad things played out as they did, even if for the bulk of the relationship our muses had we hardly talked. I’m grateful for having met you despite you often saying things like “we’re like SISTERS” and me rejecting it and being mean to you constantly. You know I act the way I do for a reasons unknown and I’m stubborn and I get grumpy easily over silly things but I think it’s good we both understand that. I’m glad you understand my fangirling over girl groups though I tend to stick to those people more often that not. I could write more but I won’t for now because I wrote you something else. Deal with that.
sumiseria - It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I don’t get sentimental with you because that’s not what I do with people often, but I’m happy to have met you, even if it did take like six months for us to talk OOC more often while our muses never shut up. Sehun is lucky to have Sumin in his life, not only for himself but his overall development would have been different if she wasn’t there. She’s that push he needs and tells him when he’s being stupid, which is what everyone needs in their life. You listen during those few times that I do express some sort of displeasure with life and you teach me more than you realize. I’m very proud of what you’ve accomplished in this time we’ve known one another.
junieses - Thank you for talking things out with me about disabilities when it came to Sehun and it’s acceptance and even going so far as to drum up some articles to help me. When you were (more) active here I really enjoyed our interactions, both AU and mainverse allowed for a lot of fun between our two characters. You seem busier these days so I try not to bother you but let’s chat again instead of it being gossip, hrm? I don’t know when you’ll see this but maybe when you reply to your Digimon novella next you will and it’ll be a nice surprise… even though I know you’ll probably be thrown off because since when did I ever act nice?
Class 2-B
This list is of people I am just getting to know better and people who I don’t really talk a lot to but I am very glad to have met you. I think that like both of the other categories there is a lot to be learned from these roleplayers and I’ve enjoyed what we’ve talked about. I’m sorry if I seem off-putting but I do appreciate all of you and hope to get to know you better.
xinanlide // k-sung // krisanthemvm // thunderbirdrobbie // griefdreamer // sillagias // sickdali // consilian // temporaldrifter // nosequels // autotelics // respuate // vepid // tempusxtao // vartouhix // epherials // grimistic // mizukos
Class 2-C
The following are people who I have roleplayed with, have watched, or just are people I enjoy the back-stories of or what have you. I added people who aren’t active, who I’ve never spoken to, and who I don’t speak with any longer because I feel they are strong roleplayers to learn from and I enjoyed the time we rolepayed together. Please continue doing what you do and if you’re no longer active I hope you keep writing, even if it isn’t in KRP.

VERBALDOSE: BACK TO BASICS
What is your muse’s normal morning routine? How do they normally wake up?
[+] Taemin usually wakes up to the sound of his alarm but most mornings he turns it off and tries to go back to sleep. Aster, his fiance and manager, is usually the first to rise and then tell him he needs to get ready for his schedules. He hops in the shower, washes his face & brushes his teeth before putting on an outfit that he has already vaguely planned on wearing. Along with his outfit comes the accessories that he wears habitually; his earrings, ring and bracelet.
What is the first thing they do or think when they open their eyes? Do they eat breakfast or skip it?
[+] The first thoughts in Taemin’s mind are the different schedules he has to attend that day and any sort of dialogue or information that is required of him to mention at each appointment. If he has a photoshoot that day he might think about the types of poses he should try and use depending on the theme and types of clothing. If he has any interviews to promote an album at he’ll run through the key points of the songs & lyrics as well as the choreography. For variety shows he gets rather nervous about being funny or seeming charismatic so he often tries not to think about in the hopes that he’ll act natural as if he was around his friends or band members most of the time he ends up being rather quiet though. If it’s anytime before eight in the morning he will just drink coffee, if it’s eight or later he’ll eat a small breakfast usually consisting of cereal or fruit.
What is something they do everyday that nobody knows about?
[+] Though it’s well-known to certain individuals about Taemin’s religious views, the fact that he prays every single day is not mentioned to anyone. He finds his faith to be a rather sacred and personal thing; to him it’s like a quiet strength that he holds onto. He’s not shy of showcasing his commitment to it (most of his accessories represent his religion), but he doesn’t usually discuss it in conversations. Most of his discussions are made within his silent prayers each day.
—A Day.

AUGUST’S VERBALDOSE
BACK TO BASICS - 150804 - PROMPT 1
Different faces, names and occupations are only a small part of what makes muses stand out from one another. We at VERBALDOSE want you to delve deeper into your muse, find and form the intricacies that truly bring your muse to life — what makes your muse one of a kind, what sets them apart? Such intricacies are typically found in the little things; in habits, daily routines and covert or overt rituals. Albeit it might seem futile to know these things, it is the mass collection of these small doses that will give your muse tactile vivacity. Remember that these prompts do not have a word count and are not required but are highly recommended. It is up to you to do these, to write to improve and develop your muse. These prompts are the stepping stones in all of our literary journeys. Be resolute, be valiant, be fearless; happy writing!
QUESTIONS
- What is your muse’s normal morning routine? How do they normally wake up?
- What is the first thing they do or think when they open their eyes? Do they eat breakfast or skip it?
- What is something they do everyday that nobody knows about?
DRABBLE PROMPT
A typical day in the life of your muse.
WRITING TIP
Sometimes it’s good to have another pair of eyes on your work. Because you can get caught up in the plot and the development of what you’ve written, you might miss errors such as spelling, grammar, flow, etc. Before you publish your drabble, have someone else look it over (if possible).

for·te
“What me?” she asked incredulously. Jaemi was not expecting any requests from him, so it took her by surprise. This feeling she got, this nervousness, she did not like it. There are a few occasions where she felt nervous and being in front of a crowd isn’t one of them, but singing in front of one or two people, she’ll feel the nerves creep up on her. There was something intimate and vulnerable about singing for one person. All their focus is on her. What if they judge her if she starts off in the wrong key or her voice cracks? One way say she’s overreacting, but she can’t help but feel what she feels.
“Oh, wow, I wasn’t planning on singing, but since you asked, you shall receive.” Her fingers rattled random keys in thought. What should I sing? One of her songs or his? Both are equally embarrassing, but singing one of hers would feel too personal. She opted for the latter before changing her mind again. The young songstress’s fingers started to play the song, but in a different key to suit her voice.
“I’ve been listening to an album on repeat lately. It’s called ‘Affair… a story of a girl in love’ by Abbey Lincoln. It’s very romantic and lovely story telling. I recommend it, if you have a chance to listen to it. Without further ado, ‘Love walked in’.” Jaemi treated this moment as if she would doing a paid gig, with her giving a little information on the song over the instrumental before starting. When she did, she began at the ending lines, “One magic moment and my heart seemed to know that love said hello though not a word was spoken. One look and I had found a world completely new when love walked in with you.”
Ending the small performance, she chuckled in embarrassment and joked, “ten grand for a full show, haha. Sorry if that sucked, I didn’t warm up my voice or anything…okay, let’s start the lesson. I’m going to amuse you already know your keys because if you do not I’ll have to question everything about you as a vocalist. I’ll run through them quickly though.” She went down from one end to the other, pointing out every key and its name. “Now to the starting position, at the center of the keyboard, your right thumb should be on a C and the following fingers should be on D,E,F, and G. With your left hand, the pinky should be on C, making your left thumb on G.” She waited for him to put his hands in position.
Even though Taemin was aware of how awkward a solo performance for one person could be he couldn’t help but enjoy himself and the private cover sung for only him. Not really quite too sure what kind of song she would sing, he knew that his expectations were all valid. He was completely entranced with her voice — he had been since that first day when he had stumbled across her singing in a bar. There was something just so unique and special about the way she used her gift and the way she truly felt the music. It was admirable and as soon as he had witnessed her first performance he knew he wanted her to sing at his wedding. As he listened to her now it was only reassuring him that his rather impulsive decision had been completely warranted.
Folding his hands into his lap, he listened to her quietly and respectfully. There was nothing worse than someone staring you down so he kept his gaze on her fingers as they danced on the keys of the piano. There was a soft, small smile kept upon his face as he soaked in her notes and once it had come to an end he grinned even brighter and finally looked at her. Almost like a child, he clapped his hands together a little. “Beautiful.” he said with a sure nod of his head before realizing she was diving into the lesson. With an almost uncertain look now replacing his smile, he let out an awkward laugh. “Yes, ‘course I know my keys don’t worry.” I also know a lot of other things about piano.
Placing his hands exactly how she directed him, he followed her instructions and waited for her next set of commands. It was a complicated thing, pretending not to know how to play the piano but being a singer. On the one hand there was a sense of intuition most musicians were able to have about other instruments — once you became an expert in one field you were usually able to apply it in some way to another field. You’re able to figure out things a little bit more carefully and he wasn’t quite sure how he was supposed to portray this without actually coming out and showing her that he knew everything he ever expected her to teach her. As time ticked by he began to realize how complicated this all was and he wondered how he had gotten himself into this mess.
Trying his best to hold onto the smiling face of his soon-to-be wife as she heard the surprise wedding singer beginning to perform — that imagine repeating in his mind — he let out a small breath and looked over at her, “What next?”

con·fes·sion
Sehun found that hard to believe. Could Taemin really just move his schedule around like that? Was he ditching his responsibilities for the day? That didn’t sound too much like him. If anything, Sehun thought Taemin always put work among the forefront. Did that make him a workaholic? Maybe, but it was an admirable trait. What kind of person did not appreciate a man who took his work seriously? That’s what Sehun strived for in many regards. He too wanted to be a respected and hardworking man.
He wasn’t going to tell Taemin that he had that small admiration, however.
Instead he nodded as if he were acknowledging this as a rest day to appease Taemin. It wasn’t worth bringing up when he was happy to spend some time with him. It was hard enough for them to find any time for a cup of tea, so it was even harder to think of driving out toward one of Seoul’s many beaches without there being some schedule conflict. Sehun’s hand went to his hair and pulled it down slightly so he could see how long it was. It was getting too long now but then again… He turned his head to peek at Taemin’s hair. Why did idols do such things with their hair? No wonder they stood out so much! “Your hair is purple-ish… Or silver? What color is it?” He was curious mostly because he could never see himself with such colors, but after a quick search on the internet, he discovered his friend had far more embarrassing hairstyles. Or at least, no hairstyle that he would want.
When the window came down he could smell the salt coming from the ocean streaming into the car. He liked it, but it did make his nose crinkle slightly since it was so sudden. Since they were spending time together he didn’t bother to bring his backpack, fearing it would be rude if he fell to the temptation of reading while Taemin drove in silence. As soon as the car was parked he let his head loll to the side so he could get a good view. The weather wasn’t the best but at the same time it was absolutely fitting. It helped clear out all the other visitors, leaving them with a cool atmosphere and the freedom to walk around. Hopefully his friend wouldn’t be swarmed by fans like he was in Seoul. Unbuckling the seatbelt he nodded his head. “Yeah.” As the seatbelt quickly slid back his hand reached for the door handle to open up the car door, and the sound and smell of the ocean engulfed him.
Waiting that split second for Sehun to get out of the car, Taemin’s own hand soon opened the driver’s side door and he got out. Leaning against the car for a few short moments, he stared out at the horizon and took in the view. It was slightly overcast, the ocean rather grey-looking as the waves bellowed to and from the shore but it relaxed him nonetheless. The water always relaxed him. Pushing himself off of the car, he stood upright and closed the door before walking around to the other side to smile at Sehun with a rather awkward expression. Opening the back door, he pulled out a bag of belongings — blankets, towels and snacks — which he soon through over his shoulder before promptly shutting the door.
Now that they had arrived, Taemin could feel his nervousness rising slightly. In his bloodstream flowed all of the questions he had about Sehun’s reaction. Wondering why he cared so much about what Sehun thought made him realize certain things about himself. He was popular, in the idol world, people knew who he was but in reality he wasn’t the high school prom king. He was a loner, really. Any free time he had to himself was often spent either on his own, with his girlfriend fiance or with one of his few close friends. ‘Cause that was the thing he realized, that he didn’t have many friends. For so long he had avoided finding himself in situations where he could be hurt or mistreated by someone he didn’t yet trust and so here he was with a handful of people he could call family and the rest all acquaintances.
So why did it matter so much, what Sehun thought? Because Sehun was that family. Even if they never really spoke about it, there were unsaid words between the two that made it known. “Let’s find somewhere to lay the towels down so we can sit.” His voice was quiet as he started moving towards the sandy shore, not waiting for Sehun’s reply as he was sure that the other would follow after him. He would just tell him, openly and honestly, he would tell Sehun he was to be married and he would just hope for the best.

Going Rogue
He remains silent, observant of the male as he steadies his breathing before he’s thanking Kentaro. Mindful of the task he’s given and the complications that likely arise, he remains guarded, giving the male a curt nod as response. As willing he was to aid the male in the escape, he’s far to experience with decoys to allow himself to fall victim so easily and his colleagues warn him of the same. “Who are you exactly and what’s up with the zombie apocalypse theme you’ve got going?” he asks, casually addressing the swarm of people the had obviously been trailing him. Unless of course, he was simply an passerby with luck much more untimely than his. Which seemed to have been unlikely, however, to consider this as some decoy seemed so absurd and he isn’t convinced that someone wielding the ability to annihilate thousands of people would device a plan so mad.
“Zombie apocalypse,” Taemin couldn’t help but let out a small laugh, “That’s a first.” Lifting his eyes from the carpet and setting them on the employee, he awkwardly stumbled over his explanation, “I’m in a boy group called Shinee... an idol, part of the Hallyu Wave.” Pausing as he considered his next choice of words, he settled on just spilling them out unapologetically for the sake of explaining the situation they were in entirely, “I’m sorta famous. Minus the ‘sorta’ and exchange it with ‘really’.” Feeling rather awkward, he flinched as his cellphone began to vibrate in his pocket. Taking it out, he skimmed through the messages he had received and let out a heavy breath, “I think maybe everything is sort of getting out of hand....” An understatement, by the looks of his texts. “Any ideas? I’d rather not appear in the tabloids for recklessly endangering the lives of my fans by causing a mob.” ‘Cause that’s exactly how they would spin it.
“You brought beer? Couldn’t you have brought something a little… I don’t know, tasteful? Wine would have been nicer,” he comments steadily as he handles the six-pack the other hands to him and settling it down on the counter, sounding the soft clink of the bottles to the counter top. Being as they were so close, his informal speech wouldn’t have fazed the other as much, had it been he knew how picky he could be.
“I was thinking tonight, since it’s just you and me, we’d watch some movies and try out this new face-mask set I got from a fan.. And I already have something in the oven, so don’t worry about that,” he lists off while he uncaps one of the drinks, pouring a generous amount in a glass and sliding it to the other, moving to prepare one for himself too.
“It won’t be too bad. At least there’s nothing schedules tomorrow until 3:00 or something like that.”
“Wine.” Taemin scrunched up his nose, “Didn’t really feel like wine. Is what you’re cooking in the oven as fancy as wine drinking?” There was a faintly amused look on his face as he moved over to the kitchen counter and hopped up on it, swinging his legs over the edge as they dangled. He was looking down at his phone, replying to a few text messages before he let out a small laugh, “Face mask torture again, I see.” He was only teasing of course, secretly liking the fact that he got to try the best products because of his friend’s avid interest in such things.
Taking the beer into his hand, he took a swig from it and smiled at the bitter taste. “I say we should finish the whole six-pack — are you up for it? We can play who can hide being hungover the best during the interviews.”

At the question, Yeri shoved her hands into her pockets as she hums in thought- there are surely so many things she wants to do, why does it suddenly feels hard to come up with an answer? “Hmm,” she continues to hum, pursing her lips slightly as she thoughts- her eyes wandered around the area. Something caught her eyes, and she turned to the male, “how about we go to play arcades? Or try the patbingsoo there” she pointed at the arcade center across the street and the patbingsoo shop beside it.
A smile slowly formed on his lips and he nodded his head, “Sounds perfect!” Thinking it over for a few seconds he looked at her with a childish grin and crossed his arms across his chest, “How about we play at the arcades and whoever loses has to treat the other to patbingsoo!” Feeling rather competitive, he tilted his head to the side and tried to put on his best ‘smug’ expression, “I hope you brought money with you— ‘cause I’m so gonna win.”

As her gaze turned to him , she wiggled her finger and shook her head. ❛Of course I won’t. That would be so rude of me and I am not rude —- .❜She reassured him before walking further in line so she could ring her bottle and pay before stopping near the store’s window to wait for him. Looking from side to side occasionally.
There was an amused glint in his eyes as she spoke and he nodded to himself. Paying for his items shortly after her, he swung the plastic bag at his side before joining her in front of the window. Looking out of it, he let out a small breath, “Are you interested in playing hooky with me?”

He watches the other curiously. At times he has trouble telling the difference between reality and dreams himself. Which was the real one? He’d wake up some nights as he wondered if this was all his life was meant to be. If this was for him. So he shrugs when the other speaks. “Neither do I.” He mutters. “Maybe some of it’s a lie and some of it’s the truth. I don’t know what is real anymore. I would like to think it’s a dream. That way I..we… could wake up to something better.”
It was an interesting concept, one that made him shift in his seat and continue to look at the other with an almost pensive expression. “But there’s some things I don’t want to wake up from.” Some people, in particular. Looking down at his hands, he furrowed his eyebrows and contemplated the next words he knew he would utter, “Are there... are there any lies you’ve told me? Any lies you let me believe?” He didn’t know what to believe anymore and it was like he had an hourglass of trust, the sand slowly sinking away.
