[OOC] Operation: Dagger Steady (Nightrunner x Byrd Man)

[Byrd Man]

Here it is. Don't worry about a CS, just tell me who you're gonna play and I'll create a scenario.

[Enarr]

I am a leprechaun who uses his wits to fight crime as a policeman in a fairy tale world. That work?

[Byrd Man]

Only if I can be a sexy vampire assassin with a heart of gold.

[Enarr]

Why not? This ought to be fun.

[Byrd Man]

Here's what I have for a basic synopsis:

1936

Led by a former corporal from Bavaria, Nazi Germany is growing by leaps and bounds to become the strongest military power in the world. All other nations with the power to stop them stand idly by. The official foreign policy of the United States government is isolation. But that is not the policy of the Executive Branch. They have been watching Nazi Germany.

While Hitler grows his German war machine, other members of the Nazi party look for weapons elsewhere. Nazis affiliated with the German occult organization the Thule Society mount an expedition to Egypt to search for the mythical Tablets of Destiny, Mesopotamian artifacts that have the capability to turn men into supermen, and weapons into dust. The Executive Branch dispatches two presidential agents to head off the Thule Society in the cradle of civilization before a shroud of darkness and fascism can descend upon the world.

I see. I like the prequel angle. Should be fun to explain how things became the way they are.

[Enarr]

Not so much as a goal, but in the process.

[Byrd Man]

I tried to pick a time period that would have both Jackson and TR working for the EB, since Teddy didn't die until 1919. I need to come up with someone else to run the EB since FDR would be president at this time.

[Enarr]

It actually took me a minute to realize this had little to do with the leprechaun/assassin sucker idea.

[Byrd Man]

There'll be time for that later.

[Byrd Man]

I guess you can figure out something for Jackson to do before he gets called up. Keep in mind that it's still the 30's and the EB's tech, while pretty advanced, isn't advanced as it is in the present day.

[Enarr]

Alright. I got something.

[Enarr]

Alright. I got something.

That took pathetically long to respond to. My apologies. I just happen to be in a writing mood this morning and I'm shaking off my writer's block. I really feel like I've been stagnant with my writing for too long.
