In a pacey situation, the action is fast-paced and intense. Characters are under significant time pressure, requiring quick decisions and immediate responses. This removes characters from being able to do specific actions. There is no time for lengthy rituals, detailed preparations, or extended conversations. This includes combat scenarios, Pre-combat scenarios, tension building verbal exchanges, chase sequences, urgent escapes, or any moment where every second counts.

A non-pacey situation is more relaxed and has a more measured atmosphere or approach. Characters in non-pacey situation have the luxury of time to plan their actions, conduct rituals, and engage in detailed discussions. There is no immediate threat or pressure, allowing for careful consideration and thorough preparation.

Defining what a situation is Pacey or non-pacey has to satisfy the following: - All characters involved are collaborating, even if there is minor amounts of irritation between each other. - All characters have done a post-cycle that indicates both a luxury of time and a measured atmosphere If both yes, its non-pacey if one or both is no. Consider it Pacey till both can be answered as Yes.

Human 1: I didn't dare make a step, as my eyes looked over to Glimmer. An indication of fear as I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Carefully I would move my hand upwards, slowly and with some resistant as I tried to not shake. Concern for the others in the room, as I did not want them to catch the fright that had taken over me. As my hand came to my mouth, I closed my fist but let one finger move over my lips to indicate that we should remain quiet. I did not understand the situation thus far but it seemed that whatever had made that dreadful noise, was very close. Beastkin: Peering down, a short gleeful grin crossed my features. The humans had stopped it seemed. Stopped in their tracks below me as the howl had seemingly shocked them. A foolish mistake. One that would cost them. Since they had not anticipated that this once noble dwelling, was now a playground for my kind. I moved across the rafters in the darkness, continuing to use my advantage to torment them in their confusion. The sound of my quick movements might have been deafening in this tense moment. As I swiftly jumped down and blocked their exit. My dark looming silhouette was all they could see expect the glowing of golden eyes. All characters involved are collaborating, even if there is minor amounts of irritation between each other? No All characters have done a post-cycle that indicates both a luxury of time and a measured atmosphere? No Characters are not on the same side and this is the beginning of something that can be considered dangerous. As tension is mounting and would need to be diffused before it can be considered non-pacey.

HUMAN I had lit a fire but the creature did not seem phased. My eyes locked onto it, with a weariness but I had come to trade. It was rumoured they would accept trades with others: even humans. Or I had been grossly misinformed. I offered a careful tone "I mean no harm," I would await the answer, as a part of me felt this had been a foolish endeavour. Though It was clear by the proximity of the creature I could not simply turn and run. I remained unthreatening just as the creature before me. BeastKin: Carefully I observed the human creature by its man-fire. A head tilted but I did not lunge or growl. Simply I remained in observation on the why they had come to this trade spot. Usually it was rebel eles or other tribes, seeking to meet a deal. Though here, stood a human that sort no harm. So I would indulge them for now. All characters involved are collaborating, even if there is minor amounts of irritation between each other? Yes All characters have done a post-cycle that indicates both a luxury of time and a measured atmosphere? Yes Characters are not on the same side. While a minor amount of tension is there, we have a post cycle that indicates a measured atmosphere that could go to a trade. Neither have exchanged hostilities.
