Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Well damn. I can just delete the post and make some new char or something.

@Princeofhearts

No, don't do that! Other Prince was just saying that they thought the reason that has been created just seems rushed. You don't have to completely scrap your character.

Well that doesn't sound half assed and last minute at all. You'd think if three students up and vanished the first thing Ozpin would do would be to contact there families in which case he would have listed her as "returned home" rather than "3/4 vanished without trace"

@Prince of Seraphs

I'm not the one who came up with it. You should talk to Lugu and the other Prince if you want to help create a new, better sounding reason.

Steel Dawn - Nightfall

Just looking for a name and an appearance for my character. CS should be up this weekend.

How are we explaining what happened to Team _PGD again? What's Priscilla doing at some random dust distillery?

@Prince of Seraphs

From my understanding, Greyson and Daniel are still MIA with their whereabouts unknown. Priscilla left Beacon for a family emergency in the middle of the night and wasn't able to get back in touch. I think a relative she was helping worked at the distillery so that's why she's there.

Not to be contradictory and Hari might know more about this but while Morse Code has fallen into a bit of an archaic state it's not gone altogether. Most Navies stopped using it at the end of the '90s but it's still used today in aviation for identification purposes. It's also used for people with severe motor disabilities, as an example, Stephen Hawking's computer aid interprets how he moves one of his cheek muscles in mores code and translates it into speech.

It might not be quite as common now as it was twenty years ago but Morse Code isn't gone. It wouldn't be a stretch to assume that people with a military or radio background would still be well versed in it. And if this Distillery is outside of Vale's borders hiring a communications official would be a necessary precaution so while I can't see your average run of the mill guy knowing Morse Code it would be feasible for someone at the Distillery to be versed in it.

Though you are right Morse Code has become something of a Hollywood cliche.

Also to the team at the Distillery if the guy transmitting doesn't know anyone is receiving he will be sending a short repeating message so don't get too wordy.

EDIT: Though now that I actually read the post, why would you flash something in mores code on a com system? If pressing this 'answer' button will open communications between wherever the survivor is and the team's location then Morse Code would be completely unnecessary as he could just keep redialing the panel over and over again.

@Prince of Seraphs

I was thinking the exact same thing. Just didn't know how to word it so instead I made a joke that they should just answer it.

Me reading Teams J_CL and BASL's mission:

Steel Dawn - Nightfall

Almost done with my CS, @Skyrte. Just waiting to see you post yours so I can get a general idea what the final product should look like.

I hope Priscilla is just on the other side of that door for @Princeofhearts sake. Otherwise he'll be waiting for weeks.

If you're looking for something really gory I suggest looking up what curb-stomping is.

One of my favorite execution methods I heard of once when I was studying the Salem witch trials for a class project @Prince of Seraphs, was where they cut open a horse and stuffed the woman in. They then sewed the horse back up with the woman's head being the only part of her not being inside. She was then left to starve outside of the town.
