[OOC] Mass Effect: Brink

[The Nebulous]

I'll have a post up this afternoon for the captain's reaction to Errol and everything after. It's mostly complete, but the Guild's servers are being a huge pain in the ass this week. >.<

@The Nebulous

No problem mate :)

[The Nebulous]

Alrighty! Post is up.

So it looks like we've got a vanguard, an infiltrator, a sentinel, an engineer, and would the krogan and salarian both be soldiers? And I'm assuming our volus is... uhm... a biotic god! :D

[DirtyDingo]

@The Nebulous I had a question about the general tone of writing, I feel like this is almost Pirates of The Caribbean in space, just a little more serious. Should I be thinking this? Or is the plot gonna be far darker than I imagine?

[The Nebulous]

It's definitely starting off with that PotC vibe, but everyone seems to be meshing with that nicely. I'll reel it into a more serious tone once the plot gets rolling. Speaking of which, here's the plan for what I'd like to see happen next:

- Once we take care of the vorcha, a few of Aria's guards are going to appear from Afterlife and tell Declan that she wants to see him immediately. Declan will break off from the group at that point, but instruct Trish to lead the team to Vol (once Zik(@Howler) reveals his knowledge of who is behind the welcome wagon).

- While the gang is going to confront Vol (whether there is going to be some more action involved, or if everyone's presence on his doorstep alone is enough to make him surrender is up to @Culluket), I'll jump between Trish's perspective and Declan's perspective. At this point, she's basically a second primary character for me. Declan will be making a deal with Aria, a major favor for her in exchange for giving the Dasher's a ship and a helmsman.

- Once Vol is back on board with the crew, everyone will rendezvous at the new ship and we'll be off, closing out the beginning "chapter" of our epic tale of shenanigans.

I've already got all of the conversation between Declan and Aria written out. We just need to get to the point to reveal all of that. The post will definitely be a bit lengthy (as I'll include a Trish-portion for whatever's going on with the group), but that's only to push the plot forward enough to prevent us from falling in that notorious hole of absent-minded RP introductions that can easily nose-dive this into the ground. :P

[Culluket]

@The Nebulous Good plan, good plan. If the guys can't persuade Vol to throw in, I already have a surprise motivation for him to do so.

And @DirtyDingo, yeah, don't worry about that too much. The opening escapade has been more lighthearted because it was determined by me, the Volus, and even in the darkest Mass Effect settings, those guys have generally been the comedy race. Once the VORCHA are dealt with, I have no doubt things will find their own temperature.

[DirtyDingo]

I was actually kind of enjoying the idea haha

[Culluket]

Made a post just because.

[DirtyDingo]

"Telling you man, seen the vids."

Hahahahahahah I'm in tears.

[DirtyDingo]

Please can we not let this die guys.

[Howler]

Please can we not let this die guys.

@DirtyDingo

Nope! I'll try and get a post up at some point today, just getting hammered by a few things. Apologies for the delay.

[DirtyDingo]

Awesome. It's a late opener for my venue tonight, so I'll likely be able to respond almost immediately.

[The Nebulous]

Alright! I'll give a little time for @Gowi and @DirtyDingo (and anyone else that may want to) to respond before I push the scene forward. 24 hours from this post should be enough. If you can't get one in, you can hash out what happened in your next post, but we need to get rolling.

[Culluket]

Also, when you drop in, you guys can narrate Vol's (nervous) door guards any way you like, if that helps grease the wheels.

@Culluket

Nice. lol

[DirtyDingo]

Sorry this has taken longer than I initially believed. The aftermath of the Wildlife festival here has been much busier than anticipated, post is almost finished though. Shall I move us to the end of the engagement or leave room for Gowi?

@DirtyDingo

Go ahead and move us to the end.

[Gowi]

Well, I'm back so. Not sure what to have Errol do here tho.

[Culluket]

"Omus Vol? That walking trashcan?" There was a high-pitched ring as Errol put a sniper round through the inch-wide gap between Declan's ear and his skull, taking out a Vorcha's eye from 500 meters right as the ugly son of a bitch was leveling its rocket launcher. "Hell with this, I should've stayed in the goddamned bar. Don't think this is over, Declan! You OWE me! I'm not letting you out of my sight til I get paid!"

[DirtyDingo]

There we go, either @Gowi or @The Nebulous can move us along now. Let's get this show on the road. :D
