Current I'm sorry, you've reached his personal secretary, Department of Shrubbery, Floor 64, Desk 1024. How can we help you today?

Or buy a van or a used rental truck. Something nobody would look twice at. You can put in a rack for the rope, duct tape, plastic sheeting, shovels....

Never trust a car salesman - especially a used car salesman. Have a buddy park across the street and see how many stuffed body bags you can shove in there. Gotta have room for plastic sheeting, etc.

Neil Gaiman wrote in his Good Omens bio that he likes it when fans send him $50. (He read Terry Pratchett's bio and figured it wouldn't hurt.)

"Hack the planet!" is the movie Hackers playing with a teenaged Laura Croft and Sherlock Holmes battling the skateboarding Fisher Stevens?

Bio

I am a seven-foot tall minecraft-playing hindu guru drag-queen alien.

Possessor of an Ancient Device™ Model 17. No, I don't know what it does. No, you can't play with it.

Pronouns: It. As in: "What is it? What does it want? Why is it here? Oh my god, it's got my... <insert random body part or object here>"

Likes: World Domination, Writing, Rpg, scifi/fantasy, anime, sketchup 3d models, and anime music videos.

Companions: a host of characters from other games, my personal muse Penny (as in Bad), and the Badger gang - Toothpick, Buttons, Shark, and Mongo. They grew up in the balcony of an old theatre that played a lot of gangster movies. Normally benign, but may invade the OOC forums.

WIP



Original concept was he's a shapechanger, but I decided that was too much. He'll need to disguise himself on many worlds, I'm sure.
Hmmm, so like the ship sees this weird-looking tent (a fabric lifepod) with parachutes floating down from the sky to splash down near them. When they send a boat over, inside they find this strange little man who speaks some strange tongue very rapidly, then a weird disembodied voice talks to them, then the same strange voice speaks rapidly back to the man. Apparently, he wants to be taken to your leader?

He manages to snatch up a survival kit - and either the contents are lost during the shipwreck, or what he found inside was a pen and a bunch of order forms for each item that was supposed to be in the kit?

Or perhaps I could play a half-human / half-elf rogue, thief brand on her hand, still pallid from her recent release from a prison. She was knocked unconscious and shanghaied aboard the ship to be released at their next port of call. (someone really didn't want her going home)
Jack Mallory, X.O.


"So," Mallory said, glancing at his phone for the passenger record. "You are...?"
"Thorleif Hedstrom," the man replied.
"I thought I was the one who was sore?" Mallory said with a chuckle, glancing up at a very confused solar farm engineer furling his eyebrows. "Ah, right. Sorry. So, we need some way of generating more power for the Jo'. If we could come up with power, we could crank up one of the fabricators and make more panels. But until then, we need someone to help set up the first ones we make ourselves."
"I was in sales," Thorleif said. "I'd measure and plan the layout, I didn't put them up!"
"But you've got to have some idea..?"
"Just enough to answer fool questions," the solar engineer replied, leaning back and crossing his arms.

"Great..." Jack signed, scratching his head.

Jack Mallory, X.O.


"Okay," Jack says, talking over the hum of the crowd in the Mess Hall. "I'm Jack Mallory, the executive officer aboard the Jo'. I know most of you weren't expecting to find yourself having to take cover aboard the ship, and this ship winding up... wherever we are."

Jack sighs, then turns back to them.

"So, we're in an emergency situation here, and even though you didn't want to be here, we need your help until we can find a way home."

And let's not tell them how remote that's looking to be.

"So, we need to know what skills you have, so we can all work towards getting out of here."
Second round.

Greetings and Salutations, Spooky Senpai. Unfortunately after the last battle with kaiju, the giant robots are in the shop, but we'll see what we can scrape up. Hope you enjoy your time here before the next zombie uprising.
so, how far does the telescoping ramp on the starboard side extend?

Does it only go straight across, or can it change its angle?
Jack Mallory, X.O.


An intrusive thought by someone outside his head.

It didn't feel any different, yet there it was. Was this thought mage sharing his thoughts with the others?

How deep could it go, in his mind?

Emergency protocols were (supposedly) locked down, needing the right conditions or a code phrase to unlock them. Perhaps not even the thought mage could get that deep?

"Our only bargaining chip we have at the moment is our knowledge. We have to preserve that," Jack said, aloud. "Our survival (and our curse) depends on that."
