Bio

I have been actively roleplaying for around 18 years now, since age 15. Which, as you might have guessed, makes me 33. I've done most of my rping on forums, averaging 2 to 4 paragraphs. Though I also LARP, and have played D&D for about 17 years. Real life has become a larger part of my life though, so my activity has lessened. Even so, I don't think I'll ever stop rping. :)

Don't worry, I can wait. :P It's not like I'm in a rush or anything.

I'm pretty good. Just went to a Nightwish concert on Monday. The audience was...crap. Just sitting/standing around. Barely any headbanging and such. But the concert was great otherwise. :)

Also, yea, D&D is awesome. I'm currently in 2 groups. 1 I'm the DM of, and the other I'm a level 3 sorcerer pyromaniac, who used to be a diplomat. (yay high charisma) :P
"Hey, I come from a family of explorers and adventurers. Plus I've been doing this stuff myself as well for about ten years. Of course I would have a good idea every now and then." Jacob replied in a mock-offended tone. He had been going with his parents right from his 18th birthday. And it only took two more years before he also started going off on his own. If anything, he could be called pretty experienced by now. Another few years, and he could probably even be called an expert.

The man thought for a moment as Rei offered Peanut some food as well. Prepared food meant for humans generally wasn't too good for animals. Or so he'd read at least. Though then again Fennec Foxes were opportunistic eaters and omnivores. So a little bit wouldn't hurt. "Sure, but just a little bit. He has his own food as well, and I wouldn't want him to get sick or fat." With a nod he headed for the cooling box in the kitchen. Luxury ships could afford actual refrigerators going to just above freezing temperature. He had to make do with a box that had an air supply from outside, which was around 10 degrees celcius. (about 50 F) At least it was about 8 degrees cooler than the rest of the interior. He took one of two small 5 litre barrels from it, and grabbed two cups from the cupboard. "Got some ale to go with the meal if you want some too." He spoke as he sat down and put everything on the table. Jacob was quite fond of his ale and beer. Though while flying he made sure to stop whenever he got tipsy. Couldn't have a drunk pilot after all.

"What exactly did you make by the way? I think I saw chicken in there?" Jacob wasn't picky about his food, but he still had some interest in it since he had to prepare it himself most of the time.
Hehe, pre-significant other cleanup day. xD I know what that's like. :P

You also have fun with D&D! :D
Got another larp weekend coming up next weekend. So I won't be posting during that time at the very least. :P I'll be gone from Thursday evening until Sunday evening.
Jacob frowned a little. He had heard of Bartos a few times before, so he remembered it vaguely. "Bartos huh...I seem to remember being told he's not exactly kind to people that try to scam or steal from him..." He sighed, shaking his head. "Well whatever. It's not like this is the most dangerous job I've done so far. I will warn you about one thing though. If you're captured and I can't see a decent way to rescue you I'll probably leave you behind. I'm all for trying to keep a client safe, but not if it's almost certain I'll get captured or worse in the process." Sure, the man could keep his mouth shut or lie about his intentions. But he preferred his clients knowing exactly what they were getting into.

"On that note, I'm gonna grab something in case things do go wrong and you can't stick to your plan. If I have to pick you up somewhere else for instance." Once again the man headed upstairs, and some rummaging through drawers could be heard along with some muttering along the lines of "where did I put those things again?" In the mean time Peanut came up to Rei and started sniffing at her feet. Since Jacob had indicated that she could be trusted he was now a bit curious about this new person on board. A bit later he came back down, now holding two walkie-talkies. "Here, you take one with you. they have a range of a kilometre on their own, and a kilometre and a half when I'm on my ship. Since I have a better receiver here. I've set them both to frequency 460.6." The device was a bit bulky. Around 20cm in length, 7 in width and 5 in depth. But they had to be to provide decent range, and they could be a life safer at times.

Just sending a reminder, since it's been over a month now. ^^;;
Jacob frowned a little bit. It was obvious she didn't want him to tag along. Which was a shame. He liked pulling one over on rich people, and just docking and waiting sounded boring. But he had learned from past missions that it was best to not be too pushy with employers, or they might think he was suspicious or something. "Fine fine, just dock and wait for you..." He spoke plainly, shrugging a little as he did.

Jacob watched the little interaction between Peanut and Rei with slight amusement. The little Fennec Fox always did well with the ladies. It wasn't that useful to get them between the sheets, but at least they were more likely to be friendly with him after meeting his pet. "No idea how old he is. I bought him about a year back, from some shady animal smuggler type. Some story about the noble having changed their mind about buying him. No idea where he's from really." The man turned around and rushed up the stairs as he gave a quick "gimme a sec~" And a few moments later he came back down, walking over to Rei and holding out his hand towards here. "Here, take this and hold your hand flat on the ground." What he gave her was a bacon flavoured dog treat. It had taken Jacob a month or so but he had finally managed to teach Peanut a trick to let him know who he could trust.

Once Rei had done as he had asked the Fox didn't move at first. He just looked at the treat for a moment before looking intently towards Jacob. After a short pause the man simple spoke "3...2...1...go~", and immediately Peanut came running to eat the treat out of Rei's hand. Without this little act Peanut wouldn't accept treats from strangers. After all, there were plenty of people who would want to do harm.
Well, now I'm making you wait for a long time as well...xD Sorry for that. Work's been exhausting the last week, and before that it was the heat...hopefully I can post soon. ^^;;
Didn't really do anything for my birthday. But that was by choice. :P Didn't feel like doing anything this year really. I went to a lake to chill near the water in the evening with my best friend and his wife. And a week ago I had a barbecue with the same friend/wife and two other guys as a kind of celebration. Since his birthday is on the 28th of july and mine on the 30th of june we decided to do a barbecue together somewhere in between.

I don't know what it is, but around when I turned 24~26 or something like that I suddenly stopped caring about birthday parties. ^^;; Just having a few friends over to chill for a few hours is good enough for me.
Aww man, now I'm a bit jealous. I wish I could get a girlfriend that could make me happy again like that. :P Glad you're doing good though. :)

Anyway, nothing much has changed for me. I've had my birthday a few weeks ago, and work is still taking up more of my time than I'd like, but that's about it.
