Current I know I said I'd be back tonight but it turns out I have a lot of post-vacation life stuff to catch up on. Apologies to everyone waiting on a reply--I'll get them out before the end of the week!

Will be out of town from tomorrow until Monday--going to go try and through my threads tonight and update what I can, but after that will likely be silent for a few days.

Mmm... You'll be fine.

ETA means Estimated Time of Arrival, so I'm not sure why you're using it in this context?


In this case I intended it as "Edit to Add"
@ctrlsaltdel Ok, well, it's been 3 days with no response from student, so if you're still interested, I'll have the opening posted before 2pm PST on the 22nd.

If you're in the US, I'll understand if you can't post until Tuesday, on account of the holiday weekend. If you can post before then, awesome!


Regrettable, but c'est la vie--I am definitely still interested.

ETA: I know I haven't posted in the character section yet, I'm doing a quick appearance and history writeup to go along with the character sheet, should have all of that done by this evening. I can post it here first if you like but there should be nothing in there we haven't already discussed.
also, I want to take the temperature here on the tone of the campaign. it seems like everyone has settled into... if not full-blown villain protagonist status, at least fully amoral mercenary. it's not my style to plan too far ahead, but as I'm laying down some general ideas about the direction the story takes, it's strong possibility that the Cerberus ends up in direct conflict with groups that are significantly more sympathetic than our PCs.

that's not a problem on my end, but I want to make sure everyone's on board with potentially being the bad guys in the story, or if you'd prefer I keep things more grey-vs-grey, or something else.
That's all I have planned before the rendezvous to drop off Cho. If you want to do anything else in the intervening time, feel free; otherwise, we can skip directly to docking with the Ashen Knives ship.
Cho-Tyrek avoids Jor'eth's eyes, even as he listens to his words. When he speaks up, though, he looks at Quintus. (Maybe it's because he's offering the best terms--or maybe it's as simple as having more respect for a fellow purveyor of violence than he does for the xeno.)

"Yes, I offer you my word that I will go peacefully if you bring no further harm to her, and do not deliver her to those who would do so in your stead." He slumps against the wall of the brig, the last bit of will that was propping up his broken body having vanished as he discharges this last duty. "I don't know who this Conclave is, but when I found her, she was being brought to a rendezvous." He rattles off a string of stellar coordinates from memory. "I understand that there's someone there who is waiting for her. Maybe they can give you the material reward you're searching for."

He falls slowly sideways, laying his body down on the cot; before you can interject further, he's fallen into a deep sleep.
Alright, that's the tie scene/call in a favor done! Getting a sense of where we're at right now--the tie scene between the Crow and Emily is ongoing. @rush99999 mentioned wanting to do some kind of tie scene with those characters as well. @Guardian Angel Haruki and @XxFellsingxX have not yet participated in a Downtime move, and so any further Downtime moves will need one of them to participate.
@ctrlsaltdel, Is there anything you would like to write before I get the next Hither Post up?


Just tossed something up 👍
Rearden Keane

As Aurora checks the room, Rearden takes a moment to idly inspect the mirror.

"Hm? Uh, well..." She thought for a second, then shrugged. No harm in telling the truth. "I don't actually remember. I was traveling to a farm outside Vember's Crossing to tend to one of the workers there. I took an afternoon nap under a tree, and woke up in this swamp."
Here's the finished character sheet after adjustments, made him slightly more charisma focused, less of a researcher and more of an influencer-type.

@RickyG85 - Random name generator gave me Allyn, so for the channel name let's go with "All-In Investigations". Having an in-the-action intro is probably the better option imo.

Rearden Keane

ribbit... ribbit... ribbit...

Rearden surveyed out at the balcony wordlessly for a few moments, listening to the cacophony. As her gaze tracked across its length a particularly fat toad, crouched on the railing of the balcony, met her eyes.

They stared at each other.

"Ribbit."

She slowly closed the door again, then turned to face Rory, over by the corridor leading to the stairs.

"I stand corrected. Shall we go up?"
