Gisk

For Queen and Country

Hey everyone, can I have your attention please?

Okay, so I know that there is a lot of activity going on in this roleplay — the GM team is so excited about it. But we're well aware that it's a double-edged sword; not everyone can be so active all the time.

And because we don't want to lose anyone because it's moving so fast, I just wanted to let you guys know that you don't necessarily have to read every single post in the IC. If you're running short on time, you can just read the ones that pertain to you and your character — that's why we're using the [@mention] system. (so please please please be sure to mention whoever you're interacting with in your posts)

Of course, ideally you'd read all the posts when you have more time to spare. We definitely encourage that you read everyone's posts, even if they don't have anything to do with you, but we understand if you cannot.

@Undine

This really takes a load off of me.

For Queen and Country

Mordred

Location:Faraday Heights; 28A
Interacting With: @Ghost Queen @Fabricant451

"Somebody is going to die!" Mordred came into the flat from the front door, for the first time since about dusk last the night before. He was dressed in a fashionable topcoat, with a scarf and some good ol' head stomping boots. He shed the outer layers, hanging them on a coat rack by the door, to reveal distressed jeans and a cable knit sweater underneath.

He entered the kitchen a lot more calmly than his entrance statement warranted, and reached for the automatic coffee machine that had produced a fresh pot about ten minutes before hand. As he poured himself a mug, he elaborated.

"Car accidents, pneumonia, a stupid slip-and-fucking-fall." He drained his cup in a series of hearty gulps, and when he continued speaking there was a heavy cloud steam issuing from his mouth. "And 'The Others'," He sketched air quotes with his index fingers, "Will be blamed, the victims made into martyrs for the cause. May the Lord God Almighty put me back in hell if I have not seen this shit before."

For Queen and Country

@McHaggis Ha, no worries.

For Queen and Country

@Gisk Danny Belson is an Envy Demon from @HalfOfLancelot, if you want the same specific power as him, but otherwise I think I'll leave it up to you. Different demons can be greedy for different things.

@McHaggis

Well greed and envy were listed separately, so I assumed they were different varieties, but I don't know how similar all demons are meant to be, either.

For Queen and Country

Yeah, honestly if I don't get a mention I'm not overly fussed about reading the OOC. It's the IC I'm catching up on. Still, I try to read what I can, but dang do you guys have a lot to say.

@McHaggis
I think I have the only greed demon, so can I make assumptions on what kind of powers he has, or do you already have things in mind?

Journey of the Planeswalkers (A Magic: The Gathering Role Play) - Applications open!

The first thing Gui does when she gets to a new Plane is to find a mount. On Orisfal, this was a large, ill-tempered goat, almost as big as a horse. They butt heads, quite literally, but Gui showed the larger beast who was actually the boss in their new relationship.

When she made her way to the place she way meant to meet the others in her little raiding party, she lingered on the road, with gold and jewels worn haphazardly about her throat and arms. She didn't know the people she was working with, and she wanted people she trusted, after her own fashion. She wanted a horde.

Gui let the bandits come on her, and she subdued them as non-lethally as she could. The offer after that was simple. All these shiny shinies, and more besides, for your sword arms. There were five who took the offer. Gui commanded them to slay the others. One refused, and she hacked his head off and charred it with her flaming breath.

She rode into town with four bandits, imbued with her spells of loyalty and strength, and a small herd of extra horses besides. Her miniature horde sold the spare horses, and the five of them entered the Grey Ox together. The bandits went to drinking and harassing the bar girls while Gui went to the tavern man.

"Black mead for me," she said in her high pitched rasp, "Oat beer for my goat." She gave him a guilelessly pointed look at the last part, assuming he would catch the code phrase.

Scattered Shades: Arcadia Chronicles

As the battle with the beast came to an end, Cecil lowered his gun and looked at the people who had come up to the rocks with him. They were a mix, both junkers and divers(though, more of the latter). It was the same down in the field, and Cecil wasn't sure what was going to happen now. He wasn't sure what he wanted to happen now. He couldn't turn around and shoot one of the people he had just lifted to safety.

He hesitated before climbing down from the rocks. No one else seemed to be fighting yet, so maybe they would walk away with some kind of truce. And it really would be walking for everyone, with the ATV in the shape it was in.

He came up to the group, his gun facing politely at the ground, his expression blank. He looked to Yvette for direction, but she didn't seem to know what she was about to do either.

@EsmetheGreat

How you feel about 30B? Yuki's roommateless at the moment as far as I know. Across from Cara who is in 30A I believe.

Also all relationships have been added for my two so far:

(Eve's) Relationships

Eve Lumière

Blake Preston
"Blake? She’s my roommate, wonderful girl really. Has a pretty popular blog too, I wish I could speak to groups of people like that. At first she wasn’t very receptive to me but we’ve gotten closer now. I’d say we’re pretty comfortable around one another."

Blake is someone I want on my side. She’s loyal, compassionate and if nothing else, willing to go with the flow. Humans are always nicer than demons.

Daniel Belson
"Dan? He’s a bartender as well, you’ve got to respect someone who shares your profession. Kind enough I suppose, haven’t had all that much contact with me."

He is a human cactus. He is pokey when you touch him, but I have to imagine he’s a pretty good guy on the inside. He can keep pace with me, probably outlast me when it comes to bantering though – that’s troubling.

Alistair Queen
"Al is... Well He’s odd really. He’s owns the bar I work at and past that I’ve not hand any issues with him. However, whenever I have to pay him something he makes me do it in Scottish notes. Something about how they look."

Al’s a good guy for the most part. I mean, he’s a good guy because being a good guy makes him feel good, but it doesn’t mean he isn’t a good guy. He’s flirty, but as a Lust demon he isn’t that flirty. He doesn’t seem to share much though, somewhat troubling.

Mariska Costas
"Mariska reminds me a lot of myself. She wants attention, she’s mature beyond her years, probably seen some shit. For that reason I like her just fine."

I don’t know all too much about Mariska which can be a little worrisome from time to time. But I’ve not ran into much reason to suspect her of anything I wouldn’t do, so how bad could she be?

Nikita Yankovsky
"Nikki is a great girl. One after my own heart for sure."

As a lust demon, it takes one to know one and I notice similar signs in her. She's got the same itches and scratches. I can see it in her eyes, when she glances, when she inhales. It's a look you get used to seeing in the mirror I s'pose. Ah well, I’m sure she’s not gonna crucify me or anything.

Mordred Hame
"Mordred is okay I guess. But he’s not so into the fact that I drink a lot. I don’t know. "

#demonalert, I mean I could be wrong – I just don’t think I am. Although, he could be an Angel too. They’re annoying like that sometimes. He’s always chiding people, kind of obnoxious.

John Taylor
"Every time I see the poor kid I wanna buy him a burger. I mean he’s built like a goddam oak tree but he must weigh as much as I do."

He’s worrisome. I have no idea what he is but it’s an other. There’s no doubt about that. That being said the kid knows how to drink so I can’t really hate him.

Catharine Reid
"Cara’s an interesting gal. Not too sure how to discern either way, but she’s a real cutie that one. She does some event planning, so I think she’s just asking for someone to ask her to plan their wedding or something like that. It’ll be sweet."

She reminds me of Al in some ways. Probably their managing skills, he owns the bar she plans some stuff. She's got that bad bitch walk that I love though.

Opallum
"He’s homeless and he likes wine. Well I work at the local watering hole so I’ve seen enough of the guy."

My demon sense tingle with this one, not too sure where he’d fit. Maybe sloth, but I don’t know him well enough to make the call.

Andrew Mordekai
"Andrew is a nice kid. Plain and simple he’s likable to a fault."

I just like the guy, he’s pretty nice. Though taking it easy could be a nice thing for him to try out every once in a while, he’s always got that I should be somewhere face on. Looks exhausting.

Suriel White
"No comment."

Yeah I’m pretty sure she’s got me figured out into a bit of a corner if we’re being honest. But I’m pretty sure she won’t get all diving retribution on me as long as I haven’t been nabbing people in the dark and making deals and what have you.

Miles Catrose
"Miles once walked into the bar insulted the dubstep on the radio and the vodka on the rack behind me. I like Miles. Also I see him when I need a trim."

He’s nice. You wouldn’t know it but I’m pretty sure he’s actually older than me by a fair bit. Which I suppose makes him an other as well. Unless he’s a pride demon I don’t think he’s a demon at all. Too excited about life, to the point of being arrogant really.

Yukiko Abe
"Yuki’s a sweet girl. She works as a tattoo artist at the parlor downtown. She doesn’t talk much but she’s got a smile that makes my damn heart still."

I couldn’t tell you what she is or how old she is. She keeps that damn trap shut so much half the time she talks I can’t get even a small read on her. They always say watch out for the quiet one’s but I myself tend to look at the people who warn others. Shifting blame on the quiet ones seems like a half-decent way of avoiding suspicion if you ask me.

Mona
"Who?"

Seriously who? Wait, is that the… Nah. I don’t think so.

Faron Romane
"Faron’s got to be… Well. He’s a got a better heart than most and I suppose that’s truly what matters. Y’know? He’s got something about him that I find intriguing. Kids seriously in touch with nature though. "

Kid’s smart. Smarter than people give him credit for. He’s just not smart in the stupid ways, that’s huge. One to watch undoubtedly.

Nicolas Black
"In business there’s a pretty common philosophy. You can charge a premium or you can make your shit cheap. Idea is, if you find the right balance you make the most profit. Nick says fuck that, buys all the cheap whiskey I’ve got when I’m tending bar. He gives you that kind of vibe – go to him if you need help."

What is there to say? He’s a hot detective who drinks cheap shit and is probably only five days from retirement should the tropes continue. Apparently he digs cats too. They can be fun I guess.

Maggie Spencer-Adeyemi
"She’s sweet. Real holistic type, long walks in the woods, talks to trees, hugs her plants. I don’t know much about her."

Eh she’s essentially the type of person that is ‘better than you’ but she’d never say it. Nor does she probably believe it. If nature stands a chance of surviving humanity though it’s in her backyard.

Megumi
"She’s fucking adorable."

I don’t know. Something about her – definitely an other. She acts like a child that all checks out but… Call it a sixth sense, call it a woman’s intuition. Call it I’m staying away.

Katherine Haynes
"She’s cute."

She seems down a lot – on the other hand somewhat confident. Just paradoxical to fit in to the new world of others.

Felicia Underwood
"Felix? Yeah Felix is well liked. She’s the kinda girl that knows you’re having problems before you do."

I’m calling it here. She’s a telepath, a mutant maybe like the comics. That’s it. I should’ve known I left the oven on. Hm? Well, no, she didn’t tell me I left the oven wrong but she looked at me like she knew.

Elise Callaghan
"Elise? Yeah she’s a little cold but she’s something I’ll tell you."

So she’s not a lust demon. I suppose she could’ve been half lust demon but that’s not it either. I don’t know what it is but it’s weird. She walks in a room and she’s there. I look at her, and she’s gone and I’m thinking ‘where’d she go?’ I don’t know why or how to explain it. It’s… I don’t know.

(Yuki’s) Relationships

Yukiko Abe

Blake Preston
"Blake’s nice, haven’t spoken to her that much mostly just seen her in the stairwell."

If she isn’t just human then she’s quite young. Reminds me a little of myself earlier on in my life. I’ve got nothing truly bad to say about her though. I’m hesitant to speak with her though, after this whole ‘other’ blow up humans and hunters are starting to sound more and more alike.

Daniel Belson
"He serves me sometimes on break at the bar. I don’t get wine on break, I should mention. Daniel has a knack for the devil’s drinks. At least as far as I know."

Daniel’s a nice boy, despite what he may have some people believe with his quips, once you look past those you feel like there’s a real person in there who wants something. I just don’t know what yet.

Alistair Queen
"Alistair Queen. He’s always so polite!"

He’s old. Can’t tell if he’s older than I am, but that only creates more questions. I think we have a mutual respect for one another, but he treats everyone so well it can be difficult to tell sometimes.

Mariska Costas
"Mariska has the most beautiful voice, she puts so much into her music and it really shows."

She’s a sweet young girl and if the little interaction I’ve had with her hasn’t betrayed me she has the eyes of a girl with a lot going on. That’s the kind of girl you don’t need to worry all too much about.

Nikita Yankovsky
"Nikki, she’s awesome. So independent, really doing her own thing. I respect that a lot ."

There’s definitely an underlying level of something there. I haven’t gotten to know her well enough to figure out what that is yet though. Not that I have plans to get in close with unknowns like Nikki though. She’s got a rebellious streak without a doubt. That being said, I wouldn’t be upset waking up next to her.

Mordred Hame
"He comes across as rather strange."

The poor boy could use some lessons in manners. I doubt he’d have fared well in a high court. I’d never tell him that though, I think it’d hurt him a little.

John Taylor
"John is a very kind soul and the best coworker!"

He seems very troubled, often. But he’s a very nice man and he keeps up with me and then some when it comes to tattooing, so it’s always nice during downtime to be able to hang out with him.

Eve Lumière
"Eve… The way she talks kind of betrays my knowledge of the French. All the French people I’ve come to know talk rather eloquently, though I heard she spent a lot of time in Canada. I’ve never been to Canada."

She’s beautiful, there’s no doubt about it. It’s how she uses her beauty that concerns me.

Catharine Reid
"I hope Cara learns to breathe a little. She seems like such a nice girl, but the blows don’t really roll off her shoulders."

She takes things personally, that’s always a concern. Cara could be a good friend, but she could also be a vicious enemy.

Opallum
"He seems to remind me of some movies that came out some time ago."

Earlier this century Akira Kurosawa directed the film Yojimbo about a man named 桑畑三十郎. A man with, essentially no name, travelling looking for opportunity. I don’t like drawing these comparisons – knowing how the film ends.

Andrew Mordekai
"Andrew’s tattoos are rather beautiful. Meticulous in their design really. I wonder if that applies to him."

I don’t know much about Andrew, but he isn’t on my list of people I need to be careful of yet, so for all intents and purposes he’s just a kid with good taste in art.

Suriel White
"Ah yes, the new doctor in town? I haven’t met her yet."

Rather strange place for a doctor to move to. Though, I suppose, not out of the question.

Miles Catrose
"I adore Miles’s tattoos, they were done by someone with a careful hand to be sure. I hope he lets me give him one."

Miles doesn’t seem to have a malignant bone in his body – albeit he can be somewhat arrogant. It’s not the worst trait to be sure.

Mona
"Who?"

I don’t believe I’ve had the pleasure of meeting a Mona yet.

Faron Romane
"Faron strikes me as the type of boy who is going somewhere in his life. He even works at his mother’s shop, how cute!”

Nothing particularly alarming about Faron, but nothing that convinces me he is to be trusted with anything important just yet.

Nicolas Black
"Nicolas is a good man doing a hard job. I know that being a detective during this ‘other’ outbreak must be difficult. I feel like maybe I should make sure he’s alright."

Nicolas, among others, seems to me the closest and farthest from achieving a happy life. That must be hard on him.

Maggie Spencer-Adeyemi
"That reminds me! I have to get Maggie to take a look at my tulips! She’s really good with gardening. We live together, not like- we're roomates."

Since I've lived with Maggie, I've not had any issues with her at all. So I believe currently she's definitely one of my very few friends in this town.

Megumi
"Ah yes. She’s very cute, rather smart for her age too."

Hopefully Megumi is doing alright, I have seen her a few times now around town but not her parents yet.

Katherine Haynes
"Poor girl, I’ve only seen her once but she seemed to be having a truly bad day."

I hope she’s alright.

Felicia Underwood
"Felix is a beautiful young woman, without a doubt."

I don’t know all that much about her, but she seems nice.

Elise Callaghan
"Elise seems troubled, by what I’m not sure. I’ve never actually seen her have a conversation with someone. I’d go and talk to her sometime, but I’m afraid it’s not my place…"

She reminds me of myself in all the wrong ways. That is something to be as aware of as possible. While I don’t believe she is a Kitsune I think it’d be smarter for me to gain her friendship rather than wait to find out who she is.

@Write

Mord hates being intoxicated, actually. Has no opinion about peeps drinking.

For Queen and Country

Well, I guess the only thing left on my agenda is a question. Who want's to live with the cannibal?

@Ghost Queen

Discounted tattoos?

No, but I actually think he and Mordred would make good foils to each other. Not to mention Mord isn't human, so is in no danger, and is probably strong enough to keep John in check if he needs to.

EDIT: Oh, nevermind! I see you're already roomed up.

Double EDIT: Unless we make it a three room deal? I see Mariska is musical, so it might make sense anyway. Your and Fabricant's call.

Journey of the Planeswalkers (A Magic: The Gathering Role Play) - Applications open!

I am here.

It is pretty strange that there's no green. I would have gone a different way with my character if I had known what colors everyone else was going with.
