[OOC] Apocalyptica

[ApocalypticaGM]

@Everyone:

Aweena and I have a solid plan to help get the RP rolling. It'll give everyone solid ground from which to start, so you really don't have to all plan your own individual movements. Chances are after our sub-plot runs its course you'll all have areas to which you're drawn -- likely in groups, I suspect. If there's trouble here, trust us, we have so many ideas to help you along or can help you brainstorm. It's seriously something we both love. In other words, don't stress.

@JDolan:

How's the Narrative CS going? I think Aweena and I will probably get the IC starting... soonish. We haven't spoken about it, just going off our telepathic connection. Either way, you should update us!

Alright, let me know if you want her to join up with them. Speaking of IC posts, I'm going to start my first one soon. It'll be up in the Main Doc if you (or anyone else) wants to join in. , just read through the CS. It's good, and I saw nothing wrong with it. The length isn't really that much of a problem since it was written greatly. I'm sort of thinking now you're going to end up bringing Coltrane's brother into the mix sometime down the line. Plot twist, he survived and has been looking for Coltrane all these years!

Yeah I'm going to admit that the idea of Coltrane's brother becoming a character has crossed my mind a couple times, but given the circumstances that he knew Coltrane ere in he'd have assumed him to be dead and given that the parted on bad terms, its unlikely that he'd be looking for hin if we're being realistic. Also its been a while so he might not recognise his appearance straight up.

Sorry my CS is taking so long. I'm almost done, I just need to complete the personality, before infection, and after infection.

It's no problem. To be clear, you are using the narrative format, right? No need to directly answer this really, just make sure you are.

Welp... I am now, lol.

[Zombiedude101]

Shon, would you do me a favour and add Coltrane's backstory to your half of the OP, please?

[ApocalypticaGM]

I believe I've updated everything on my end of the OP, deep apologies for being so slow into it. We've had a snow/ice storm in Vancouver/Portland and if you think I'm already a little frazzled on my weekends with my daughter, just imagine that at 20 degrees.

Anyway, in the future, if y'all update your CSs or add to the organizations, beasties, or want a Conflict added for before November 2020 (excited for this one!) just post up here to get my attention. Much appreciated, Zombie, I had a bit to add in addition to your CS too.

Gosh... you guys need to hurry up with this opener. You can't be all like "OMG! This is gonna be the coolest post thingy ever and you're all super jealous because you want to know about it but we won't tell you" and then take FOREVER to post it. *sigh*

On a less whiney note, I told Aweena this already but I won't be here for like the whole month of March as I'm going to go fight in a fake war (Yay Army training). So yeah, I will be too busy fake dying and living in a ditch to use the internets.

Oh, and I figure out on Tuesday if I get to go get stationed in Cali again and become Quint - lingual...? That's totally a word, right? Whatever, to become fluent in a fifth language. Which would be awesome and give me way more time to write.

[Aweena]

Aweena's working on the opener. Here's a little sneak preview:

"the small pack of paramedics on their bicycles going by. From the chain link fence enclosing the"

So I hope that tides all of our impatient fans over for the next little while.

Great joke, Aweena!

Thanks, Aweena.

We shared a good laugh.

Anyway, you'll all be happy to know the opening post is completed. It should be up by tomorrow.

You're all welcome.

I totally saw the new episode of The Walking Dead and all I have to say is 1) Michonne is still a super bad ass and 2) God damnit, Carl. I hope you get eaten. Little shit bird.

And yay! IC! Now is that up by today Canadian time or real people time?

[Aweena]

Hey all, hope you don't mind some heavy reading 'cause the IC post is up! And with forty-eight minutes to spare, I stayed true to my word.

A note: Shon and I decided to have my post take place a few days before everyone else's so that the rumors could spread outwards. Thus, everyone should be starting a month and a few days after Fort Riley (as opposed to just under a month in my post).

Happy writing!

[ApocalypticaGM]

If anyone is uncomfortable with following up the IC's first post, I'll be posting tomorrow evening. The flavour we're aiming for is a call to action to head to Chico in following rumours of some supposed cure and further variations of the like. Anyway, this isn't a requirement (the waiting), but thought I'd note you. I'd do it tonight, but following up an 8 hour shift with a 3 hour psych eval for the federal job just... blah. I need to not do anything for a bit.

As my wonderful partner said, Happy writing!

I'll look over it later, it seems many of my rps have decided to hit me at once! XD

[Zombiedude101]

Yo, I'm currently working on a post for Coltrane - it's up on the doc in case you want to see for whatever reason. Should we assume it's been about three weeks since they arrived in Chico, now?

So, I'm pretty sure I found your post, but all the others stacked about sort of shakes my certainty.

I'd like to propose we delete all the "posts in progress" from the last Apocalyptica. None of us are going to continue them, obviously, and they only serve to confuse. We all have material there as well so I wanted to ask everyone's permission and for their part in deleting their content. Consider it a blood sacrifice.

[Fallenreaper]

Meh, I don't mind.

I second this idea. Fallen, if ever you need it, I have the Abbie/Winifred post we were working on.

Alright, no problem. I'll try to get a post up by Next week, likely Wed or Thurs latest (hopefully sooner) which will give me some time to think about how I want to do this, namely with Remmy and Abigail, as well as put Remmy's bit up in the google pad at least. Shon, from your post I'm assuming the unfortunate Slavers have been spotted by some unsavory company?

I'd meant it more as the 1007th had helos going about the general area of Chico, but you know what, that sounds smashing. Shoot me a PM. The dice system was going to be introduced in a fuller form later on, but maybe you and I can do a bit of practice with it sooner. Oh Fallen, brilliant!
