A Heart Frozen (Ebonfort)

Chartose and a few of the knights struggled to drag Tricia into the tower. Time was clearly growing desperately short and he knew what would have to be done, even as he cursed his own folly of trying to let Tricia make the journey. And now it seemed as though they'd be paying the price for such arrogance.

"Move along, you've done all you can." He thanked the knights who'd helped him and continued to offer futile aid, "I'd like some time alone." It was a simple request, one that thankfully appeared to be honored as Alya and Drisceya went up, Svarak went down. The unranked knights continued to mill-about with morbid curiosity.

"I said leave!" He shouted at them, drawing a spearpoint in their direction. Whether they went up, down, or outside for a minute was none of his concern. If his plan failed, Tricia would be dead for real. He'd be cutting it very close to the three-day wait after summoning Becker so many times back in the caves... had he not ben so greedy he should have marked her back there and then.

Hugging his mount closely, Chartose felt his life-energy surround what little there was left of Tricia's, and absorb it into himself, along with her physical being; he only sign remaining being a dark and almost cancerous-looking mark hidden under his fur of a scream-raptor sprawled-out in exhaustion on his back, its neck extending over his shoulder with its snout nuzzled into his heart for warmth.

Having performed the act, he took the blankets for himself as he felt the world grow a little colder around him; despite the re-assuring presence of Tricia murmuring in thanks to his mind. He went upstairs after informing any knights outside that he was ready to move-on.

You just described a timeskip, not a reboot.

Lets get cracking on how to exact revenge during our next mission, ye?

Darkstar, two of our characters are checking in on yours. The others are likely doing stuff in the mech-bay trying to fix or mod the frames so such a fiasco won't happen again.

OOCly, feel super-free to submit ideas for tech for Ari to review when they get back.
-In the meantime peer-review will be enough to iron-out details of what we want to use and when.

Just because your squad-leader is absent does not give you permission to sit on your ass.

Sorry, I don't usually raise my hashtag-capslocks, but it sort of looks like nobody feels like advancing the story anymore.

Everytime you post I think of this

I think that's everyone. By the way I just bought a microwave egg cooker today, shit is so cash.

@Cherry_Shield

~Eggs benedict is awesome.

Then

A SWAT team who has defected secretly and helping the girls instead of killing them ~ Lt Dan

Yeah, no. The girls kill SWAT on sight. ~Cherry

Let me provide an alternative; Ex-SWAT citizen that has seen the cruelty with which the girls are handled, he gets his old gun and slowly but surely steals a full SWAT outfit. After making several edits to signify himself and non-standard-SWAT, he seeks out the girls, drops all his weapons, and negotiates the location of an old armory he knows. Would that work for Dan? Or am I missing this entirely?
~Insanities Jack

and

now

I'm interested, but I'd rather play a male. Is there anyway I could play a turned Swat member or something. How helpful or likely to be involved with the girls are men?
~Rechonq

I'd allow it. It'd have to be something like retired swat or police that left because they didn't sign on for the cruelty they were delivering. To be close to the girls, you'd have to have an established backstory with them (which I would permit). Someone they went to when they first got out because they felt they could trust you. If you were to have your first IC as you decided fuck the swat team I quit, then decided to scope out one of their bases you'd probably be detained and tortured, if not flat out killed.
~Cherry

Haha, for some reason, my first idea was to make a masochist that enjoys their torture, until he's probably killed. Dumb/Dark idea out of the way.
So would I probably have to coordinate with a girl to have combined backstories or would my backstory consist of refusing to kill a bunch of girls as they came out of the labs and helping the group right out of the getgo? Maybe shooting back at the police I just left to prove it?

Also, bugger me to hell, my app wasn't archived.

Because we used to set the bar pretty high back in the day.

That, or the music-videos are catchy.

*gets back from reading project 358*

B. A retired swat officer or PI that ran across them by a sewer bank when they escaped. You looked trustworthy enough with your weathered yet kind complexion, took some of them in, helped them organize ect.

@Cherry_Shield

~Why does this sound so familiar?

Assuming I get caught-up in my RPs enough to join, I'll probably be hunting the girls down. I think that'd be a refreshing change of pace.

Can someone get me up to date? I might post if I am .-.

I've missed a good bit.

@WilsonTurner

Cradle HQ was raided, moderately unsuccessful. Lost two of our FRAMES and one pilot critically injured. At least they failed to achieve their primary objective and had to settle for a secondary. However we failed to identify our opponent.

Timeskip to one month later when our wounded pilot wakes up from their coma.

The Three Kings (High Casual)

Enough people post that you start an RP thread with IC, OOC, and character-sheet tabs.

A Heart Frozen (Ebonfort)

Chartose was transfixed with the temptation to reach out and pet the Gryphon-mark, but was too slow to act before Rilana pulled her shirt up to ward-off the chilly air and bundled herself back together, looking up from time to time for an answer -or even a question.

Eventually, he found his words: "Kona did not look too happy to see me... does he have any say on when to be released?" He then looked at his copper effigy of Becker and sighed.

"In any case, it still won't solve how to deal with the knights on the matter. How do you plan on keeping them from noticing?"
