I do agree with Yandere's sentiment that words not wording workingly do be a problem this time of year.

Looks like I'll be working on memorial day weekend. And no, this does not mean place any bets on polymarket.

due to a typo on my part I was nearly convinced I owed the IRS nearly $3000 in excess taxes this year.

Bio

-There will be delays in replies. Largely due to working overtime, voluntary obligations; other RPs and online-things may compete for my attention.

'Bout me:
Started RPing (badly) back in '05, mostly doing nation-RPs with an emphasis on technology and strategy, later edging out to character-espionage and military-tactics before doing "less serious" character roleplays that were outside of the 2005-2008 continuity.

That's when I went to Dead-Frontier, and found the RP community there, joined a clan, did some pretty good roleplays and pretty much loosened-up my online-personality. When the clan-leader decided to move her RPs here, most of the clan followed.

Took a course in technical-writing back in '08, so now I may sometimes use the semicolon correctly.

In 2010 I dusted off the old nation-RP continuity I had, doing a few hetelia-esque RP-shenanigans there..

RP-Habbits: I tend to geek-out on little technical-details, and sometimes infer how those details would impact the background of the roleplay. Great for world-building, not so great when you had a perfectly good plotline and I just MacGyver it off the rails (though I usually er to the side of amusement, sometimes it creates very grim side-stories).

Name: Marlena Abdelkadaar Age: 26 Gender: F Ethnicity: Algerian

Former Unit: Algerian Special Intervention Group (GIS)

Role: Rifleman (cross-trained: Medic)

Physical Description:
Short and sturdy build for a light frame. Dark long hair bound at the back and tucked, olive skin and fair features with hints of fatigue. Often wears a face-cover of some sort, citing either modesty or as a measure to keep the debris out of her eyes depending on who is doing the asking.

Interrogation
Small-unit raids
Radar-Survaillence

History:
Joined the Algerian National Police in June of '08 and had the luck to quickly find herself more often behind the wheel of an armored personnel carrier than a desk. And managed to distinguish herself when after her gunner was struck down by a sniper's bullet at the start of a firefight, she chose to man the vehicle's gun to cover her squad's evacuation atop another APC rather than seek shelter herself even as her own APC began to burn from several rocket-attacks. This put her on-track to their newly-formed counter-terrorist unit.

Helped train Mali soldiers in counter-insurgency operations sometime in early 2012 and later took part on a follow-up raid of the 2013 Amenas hostage rescue attempt which ended poorly. Due to the massive political backlash of so many of the hostages dying and insinuations that the GIS was actively executing any survivors, Marlena was dropped from the program.

I thought everyone was still out making merry?

Anyways we were waiting for Annabeth and Shelton to get back.
Things Foster learned over Christmas:

Apparently, there are gas-stations with attached shooting-ranges and gun-stores to go with their truck-stop diners.
And so, the forum decides to remind y'all to enjoy time with your families.

If you don't have a family, go out and make one.
Plot 1.4.10/9 pls

How to explain magic?

Nah, it ian't a holiday-movie material. Too much competition.

Now, if it ferments for about... 3 months... yeah, great movie to release in time for spring-break, where the prime-audience consists of unsupervised man-children sticking it to their respective men.

That raptor should also have its arms crossed.

Stubby arms refuse to cross.

I don't think you've thought this through.
Foster sees User's bag of guns.

Foster's fosterly advice: Don't miss.

BTW: Feel free to find Nallore's high heels and Natalia's dismembered arm at the cabin.
-Oh, and shell-casings, 7.62x54R, 9x19, and some 5.56x16-rimfire (.22LR). About 80 empty casings, IIRC.

Before I forget, Merry Christmas.
