Cherry Blossoms Under the Silver Sky

I would rather do retail than food industry. You should go pimp yourself, win-win right?

I was intrigued by Rachel more than Cosima this season, which I didn't expect. I was pretty bored with the whole set up in Mexico, it didn't pay off until the last episode or so. I want more danger, rather than mystery but maybe that's me. I just want all the clones on the run, always on the move. I'm still not sure what to do with Mrs. S...I give up trying to figure her out. You know you're an adult when you want a good place to sleep at night, but it is worth it. Someday I'll have a sleep number bed, someday. I had to sleep on the couch the past month in the hotel, I feel your pain.

I did get into Dragon Age recently, that's the only video game I've been playing but I plan on dusting off my PS2 one of these days...

You don't need money for supplies when it comes to drawing, just get pencil and paper and practice that way. When you get good, is when you should shell out for decent materials.

Btws, I should be able to get you something by tonight.

Give more time, or just leave, there's probably a reason there was an opening for that kind of brutal work.

I think Alison liked the attention or danger but I still don't doubt she did want the guy to back off, as he should. It's more his fault than hers in my mind. She used their history to move things along, she should have? No but she's married, off limits. Though Helena isn't my favorite clone, she def got more love from me. She's been such an interesting character, it's a shame not many shows have someone like her in their cast. As much as she is a wild card, it pays off in dire situations. Ew I can't even think about school, it's a shame you're doing it over the summer. I hope the eye exam checks out, if it doesn't, you may qualify for low vision disability. That's what I have and it pays for my school and books. A new mattress is a godsend, buy that before anything else.

I should continue with fanfic, I haven't been bored enough...er I mean struck by motivation. Whatever.

You still dabbling in art/sketching?

Improvements probably won't be quick, if anything you'd probably get gradual with endurance and strength. Just be careful, lifting heavy shit can really fuck with you down the line. No need to let a paycheck come between you and safety, cause if you get billed, it sure as hell won't be worth it when you're in the hospital or something. *finger wag*

To be fair, Alison didn't really have a fling with that dude, though he totes wants some. I'm happy we're seeing different roles interact. I wasn't sure how Donnie would handle Helena but it was fun to watch for sure. I didn't think we'd see much of her this season tbh. I am glad it's back to being a Leda based plot. I know when I did a RP with clones, it was mostly about one strand of them, as opposed to making it a cluster fuck. Man, I miss some of the RPs from the old guild...*sighs* I'm also bummed about a Sherlock Holmes RP being dropped, I was really getting into it. Guess my plate isn't too full right now, I wish I could help you though, seems yours is pretty packed, even with offline stuff.

But in regards to OB, they gave us a lot more shipping options, that's for sure. I should write some fanfics for that during the off-season.

Keep looking for another job, it sounds like the one you have now is crap, not to mention it sounds like the living situation isn't much better either. If all else fails, I'm down to rob banks with ya.

It was nice to see Sarah doing more stuff. I also loved to see Jesse return for Helena. I didn't think he would go for that bag of crazy, but there ya go. I also love to see Art whenever he pops up. I had a love/hate thing for what's her face, Gracie. At first I thought she was finally going to be a badass but she turned out to be so spineless again, argh. Donnie is stepping up his game, that I like. I also liked seeing more of Beth and the new female clone too. Overall, it was a good season but season one will never be topped. It's still fun to think of Helena as he antagonist of season one, the plot device of two and now a hero in season three. And man, you know I fucking hate Paul but damn...he was good in the end, pulling a Snape almost. XP

Digital or Real?

Hey!

I decided to get down some details of the Quest we're doing online. I figure when our kids are down tonight, they'd want to hop online, probably meet one another online before meeting offline? (I mean Fracture and Spectre meeting, followed by James and Sasha meeting up for lunch or something, nothing official between online aliases yet)

End of Summer Quest 2030 - Mythic and Mechanic Co-Habitation

Rules and Guidelines:

1. Any player of any level is free to join. Players will be matched, depending on their range of level.
2. A player cannot request who their partner is, these will be randomly selected one week after sign ups close.
3. Sign ups begin the first of September and the Quest will begin on the 21'st.
4. If your partner drops out of the Quest, you will be dropped as well.
5. The Quest will run until the end of November so our annual Winter Quest and other festivities can begin.
6. Points will be awarded for each accomplishment the pair achieves.
7. A sticky thread will be posted in the Quest Forum to list which accomplishment that has been unlocked. There are a total of 250 that can be unlocked, each ranging from 1 point to 50 points.
8. Teams that score within the Top 100 total points in the standings, will be entered into a final Super Quest which will be timed and will run during the beginning of December.
9. All other teams who could not rank into the Top 100 will be given Gold, depending on their ranking. Since Gold is used to by weapons, items and everything else, it would serve you well to do well, so you're able to save up for the annual Christmas Market held in Neutral City, this year we have double the stock to accommodate the surplus of new members joining E.R.
10. Using cheat codes or hacking will disqualify you and ban you for life. Don't be a loser.
11. The goals for each pair will be randomly distributed so the odds are that you and your friend are after the same item, will be very low.
12. Items from treasure, monsters and quizzes/puzzles/mazes will be required to confirm your pair's accomplishment of a task or goal. Each pair will need to work together, as areas will be off-limits to either a Mechanic or Mythic.
13. The purpose of this Quest is to encourage both Classes of players to work together to see all that E.R. has to offer in its vast landscape, tricky mental strategy and expansive lore.
14. If you have any questions or concerns, please post in the Quest Forum under the Q&A thread, or PM myself or any other Mod who is purple. Purple run quests, red deal with technical difficulties and bugs, green deal with threats of hackers and cheats as well as disciplinary issues and banning cases. All Admins are in black and deal with everything else, best not to bother them.
15. This is to have fun and reward players for exploring and getting to know their fellow gamers, pairs who struggle to get along, will in turn struggle with this Quest, best of luck and signs up will close in one week and then matching will begin!

So I kind of threw together some stuff above, let me know if it needs to be changed or if there's something I should add. I've been mulling over this stuff for a while and mentioned I get it down for you to look at and see if it's good or if we need to try a new tactic for bringing Fracture and Spectre together online. I also know we had some images on the first page we wanted to also incorporate into the game itself. I tried to leave things vague/open ended so when the Quest begins, we're free to take any direction we want in terms of what our character need to do and where they need to do go to rank up as much points as possible with tasks and accomplishments.

Digital or Real?

She could understand his paranoia.

The internet has been flooded with videos of people falling out of amusement part contraptions as well has having other nightmare quality accidents. Even so, she was still itching to see the city from The Eye and get a good look at the place she could always call home. If James wanted to be a scaredy cat and wuss out, she'd drop the topic. No need to get into a debate about fear and anxiety, not at their age anyway. The banter with the date was annoying, she had hoped James would brush it off but of course he didn't, so she had to try kicking him under his seat since in her mind, a good date wouldn't need to declare themselves one. Either way, she was happy the topic could move onwards once again. James then made a comment about sauce for her hat which caused her to pause, confused for a moment.

"Oh! Ha...great thanks." She slouched her shoulders a bit.

She was sure a lot had changed but seeing it was a whole different story, not one she was certain she could handle. Change was hard but overall a good thing, or so she liked to think. "Gosh really? Sounds a bit too fancy, I reckon. Funny how the nanny state finally starts giving a rat's arse about education and rules and bloody appearances when we're out the door." She grumbled. "Kids today don't have ta work as hard as you an' I did, spoiled brats are now polluting online too." She mentioned with a shrug, thinking back to some of the players she had run into when she had the time to sit down and game for a few hours. James then brought up his cousin and Sasha knew exactly who he was talking about. It was pretty surprising to hear what she had gotten herself into. It wasn't something she thought Kendra could handle but despite being given a tricky hand, she was doing just fine it seemed.

Though the more he spoke, the more Sasha really did want to go pay the wild one a visit and catch up. Any excuse to travel was good on her. But James was already trying to muster up some kind of wacky defense as to why he couldn't go and catch up. What a wanker. She finished her food and glanced off, trying to think of a way to twist his arm into going, even for just a week. Of course Pokemon was a mighty good temptation, check out the many Pokemon Centers and theme parks they had but before she could finish plotting, James brought up that rock by their houses. Of course she remembered. How could she forget? "Mmm?" She glanced back to him as he then said they finally finished work and had destroyed it. More change. This news hit a bit harder than their school though. As much as it didn't surprise her, it was still disheartening. "It was bound to happen, I suppose." She considered with a heavy shrug.

Still, going to see her folks and looking around the new remodels, would be tough but she clearly couldn't put it off for much longer, not when she was a local girl once again. "It would have been nice to get part of it, ya know for some sentimental treasure." She said but it didn't matter anymore. They were adults, grown ups, having moved far beyond the life of kids who clung with crazy dreams. Having to grow up and face challenges and sometimes fall so hard on your arse, that it ached for days, was part of life. It was unavoidable unless you colored yourself a coward. "Any other shit news for me?" She grinned slightly. "Wanna tell me the Tooth Fairy is a lie or that the nation had sworn to protect Australia in its time of need?" Sasha teased him. Just then she got up and threw away their waste, James's too if he had any.

When she came back, she patted their table with the palm of her hand. "Come on boyo, I'm not done with you yet." She chuckled.

With all the talk of change and people moving on or away, Sasha wanted to find something, anything, that had stayed the same, that could keep the past alive and not as dead as it appeared to be. "I know one place that surely hasn't changed, had somehow avoided the plague and remained as trusty and low key as I remember." Sasha declared and led James away from the noise behind them and down a long stretch of blocks. As they kept going, she wondered if James would remember the old internet cafe they'd sometimes frequent after school. With her still unpacking, she was sure that she'd rely on such places until she was settled. Their old club would come to this place a few times a year, have their own tournaments and what not. Sasha hoped it was still running and had forsaken any tacky makeover. As they took a right, she stopped and looked down at the dirty steps leading into the cafe. "Bingo."

It looked the same as ever. It had a neon sign that said OPEN and of course it listed its hours but for regulars, it was open 24/7. And with gaming being a great escape these past few years, Sasha was happy to see the owner, Andy, was still bringing gamers a safe place to scamper off to. She pulled open the door and motioned for James to head inside first. The computers and decore had been restored but the walls and everything else, the foundation, had remained. "Brings back good ol' memories of kicking your ass." Sasha said as she turned and tapped on the counter and Andy came out from the back, tinkering with a remote. "Hey An, long time no see." Sasha greeted with a wave and nudged her head towards James. For now, she wanted to keep things light. Talking about the past and where it once stood, was depressing. There was no way in hell, she'd let her first time seeing James, become riddled with regret and other crap. Andy, with her dirty blond hair and hazel eyes, gave them a wave and then suddenly realized who they were.

"God, it's been too long, kids!"

"Please, we're hardly kids anymore." Sasha laughed lightly.

"You two, together as always I see..." Andy looked between them. It smelled like she still smoked but Sasha could tell the habit wasn't as bad as it was five years ago.

"Oh yeah, James and I got married." Sasha joked, unable to help herself. "We have a few homes, one in New York, another in Italy. We're looking at property in Japan, that's why we've been so damn busy." She said and hooked her arm with James's. "Life is just so crazy that we thought we'd pop by and reminisce a bit before we head back to our flat. Real estate is practically robbery these days you know?"

"Oh I know." Andy nodded quickly as if thinking a bit more slowly than Sasha's tall tale. "I don't charge as much as some places do, they do anything to scam people who need to game." Truth be told, gaming addictions were becoming more and more of a thing and Sasha hoped Andy was doing her best to look out for her fellow gamers. "It was nice catching up." Andy said and held up her remote. "I need to get this bugger to work but you two are free to hang out here." She commented before she sat down at her front desk and went back to what she had been doing, using small tools and such.

Andy was a good woman, a little slow, but she was still one of the good guys.

"Speaking of gaming...Christmas sales are bound to start popping up." Even if it wasn't for a few months. "I gotta get you a mega awesome present, so you better tell me what you like. I've got a few years to make up for." Sasha said. She loved buying things, wrapping them and what not. She liked being thoughtful and spoiling people and she was already planning on what sort of cool things she could get James for Christmas. "Tell me what you're into these days? Or should I just get you a dozen USBs filled with the finest porn?" She laughed.

Digital or Real?

Alrighty. I hope there isn't too much pain for you. :/

Don't be too reckless now or I'll have to adorn a sexy nurse outfit. No one wants that, trust me.

Doctor Who or Star Trek: The Next Generation

Bump, as I may have mentioned, crossovers may work too.

Dragon Age

Bump.

To Boldly Go

No worries, I've been unusually delayed these days...blame family matters. (Not the tv show)

Ya know, some older episodes were coming on tv (too lazy to get on Netflix) and it had more of the Deanna and Worf stuff, it was always fun to see since I wouldn't expect such a thing from someone like Worf. Though near the end of series, you can tell his character gets a lot more attention. I did note that the man behind Worf, is hoping to get some more ST on tv with Worf, which would be pretty fun. I also caught the last episode, I have seen bits prior to getting interested but now that I have more information, I am even more amused by the set up they had. I also find Q more interesting now. After knowing more, I'd say the finale pay of increased for me. I look forward to sitting down and looking at it again sometime.

That sounds fine to me, glad we're on the same page and building on it more. ^^

I had assumed them needing hosts would be their attempt to evolve. Or maybe it's to relocate for some reason? Maybe they have exhausted the resources on the planet's surface where the waves hit? I'm sure rotation would be far too slow to fix the problem of needing more nutrients or whatever? Another side effect or symptom could be that those under the influence, could be able to withstand heat, as you mentioned, they could also be warmer than usual. There would be a lot of complicated and difficult things to connect, it could be very fun (maybe not for Beverly).

We could use the whole "everyone getting with everyone" to also be a point of conflict. Maybe the science side thinks it's for the good of survival where those who become native, see it as vile and impure? If we had a way or the group of populate by another means as you suggested, it may also affect the alien life form?

Oh yes, I have seen that episode. Parts of it good, other parts...ya know...eh. That would be a good kind of leader for religious/natives who live off the land. We will need some larger than life folks butting to heads when the Enterprise shows up, after. *laughs*

That sounds fine with me, we should feel free to nurture other ideas/episodes as we carry on.
