In the world of rping there are various styles in which to rp. Most begin with the simplest of the styles which include the use of asteriks or other means to denote an action, example...
Quote:
I know what I'm doing I don't need your help *flips over his head and lands behind him* See

"I know what I'm doing and I don't need your help" she said flipping over his head. With a soft thud she landed behind him and smiled. "See"

Quote:
