Keep moving forward ۩
⚘ A Brief History
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I've been at this a long time and when I say a long time I mean a long long damn time. I started out with table top, ADnD, back in the 80's, then dived into others: Nightlife, Mage the Ascension, Shadow Run, HoL, etc. Moved onto Online in the 90's. I've been running various incarnations of a single RP group for twenty years now. Worked helping setting up, building, and/or admining/modding various RP forums over the years: Adventure Quest, Priston Tales, War Gods, etc. It's been a long road filled with ups and downs. I'm an evil GM, you've been warned.

Outside of RP, I am a mom. Yup, I've reproduced and there are little Lady A's running around plotting their own take over of the world. I am a published author and once upon a time an award winning poet. I've done a lot in my life. I haven't done as much as I would like. I've grown a lot. I have a lot more growing to do. I love to cook, baker by trade currently. I went to university and majored in Mathematics. I've programmed websites, worked as a model, worked as a 3d modeler. Shit, I even used to dance. And have been known to sing a bit. Jack of all trades. Master of like 3, lol.


⚘ Looking Inside
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This is where I go into my personality. In the past I would normally make some self deprecating remark about how I am a bitch of a GM, pushing my rpers as hard as I push myself and so forth. Not anymore. People change, or perhaps they just come into their own. This can happen at any age. More than that it can happen several times over the course of your life as you discover and rediscover yourself. Everything happens for a reason, usually that reason is ones owns actions. Or inaction's. Right now, I am in a better place than I can remember being in the longest time. I am happy and at peace. I have no regrets. Maybe I should but I don't. I plan on keeping this peace I have found, I went far too long without it.

Currently I am enjoying several things. Some are things I have enjoyed most of my life: Coffee, chocolate, bacon, M*A*S*H. One isn't something I have enjoyed since I was seventeen: being clean and free of poisons in my system. It is beyond description and I love it: One-hundred and twenty days and counting. Music taste is shifting to more mood oriented than anything, strange I am finding a lot of newer Country I am enjoying and I have NEVER liked country. Watching things like Lark Rise to Candleford and being hooked to the point of reading the trilogy. Recently added yoga to my workouts and all I can say is, "Fuckmaste: the fucked up in me accepts the fucked up in you."

@Oliver Sweet, thankies kindly! ^^
@Oliver Quick note hun, the high school is surrounded by fencing with guards standing around it. Not going to be able to walk right in without getting shot >.> Could you make a quick edit to stop him at the gate? (I can put in a reply later on to push it forward then and bring you through so you can start mingling with the rest of the group in Franklin.)
@Pundii @Scallop @Sigil @Morose - Okay, on day 5 each of you. I think one or two of you are waiting on the other one to post, so please get those in to not push other peoples counters even higher.


Kyra & Sana

Location: The Orc Cave (Outside)
Interacting With: Sana (no one at first, then those listening) - Kyra (Those listening)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Kyra cocked a brow and shook her head as she leaned back against the tree. "Well considering how long it took us to get here with a wagon, only time would tell how long it would take us to get back. I don't like the idea of those two running off any better than the next person. I think we should sit here on our back sides and wait. We can take off in the morning as well, minus the one person who stays behind. Let those two run ahead as it were. It would be at least a week for us to get back to town, restock, get things smoothed away if they can and back here. That is hoping nothing goes wrong and well we all know shit goes wrong," Kyra quipped. Sana turned and rolled her eyes a bit before shrugging.

"Yeah shit goes wrong but a slow moving target is easier to jump than a fast moving one. Thinking I can't handle myself?" Sana asked, to which Kyra responded with an eye roll of her own.

"Oh please, I know you can handle yourself and that you are a skilled rider. How long did it take you to get here from home? Took me three months travel," Kyra said as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Couple weeks," Sana admitted. Epona was built for speed and distance; Sana knew how to handle the reins well and usually made better time than most. Kyra nodded, figuring that was about how long it had taken, though she figured it would have taken her even less if she had really pushed her horse. Kyra on the other hand had walked with Ash, who at that moment was off in the woods somewhere doing dyre wolf things. "I say the two with mounts take off ahead, at least then we can get things started."

"I don't like it but I have to agree. The only attacks we had even with the undead in the woods was the orcs and now that there is an understanding with them, hopefully we can make safer time. Though I think if you two run into anything you should turn tail and run back to us, an advanced scout at least with one of you."




"Thank you ever so kindly," Elizaveta said in a kind voice towards Feora as she complimented them both on their attire. It seemed to be a genuine compliment and so the grand duchess took it as such, she saw no reason not to. Turning her attention to Nikolai her brow rose just ever so slightly, hardly noticeable, when he spoke of having a hard time to sleep and speaking about catching the sunrise. He conveniently left out the part where he had been out with another woman and sharing that moment with her. To have him suggest that they would share the same sat oddly in the pit of her stomach. Was private moments shared between two such a thing that was common in his lands? Had she had shared such a moment with another and then invited a different person to do the same, well her grandmother would have given her a good weeks long speech on how improper it was.

Those thoughts were the only thing that saved Elizaveta from blushing to her core when Nikolai placed a kissed to her cheek. Lost in thought she had barely even noticed he had pressed his lips to her skin. Only truly noticing it when he spoke and complimented her in her native tongue. A gentle smile came to her lips as she rested her free hand on the arm she had her other laced with. "Thank you my dear, you look as handsome as ever," she complimented him before glancing away. She knew she would have turned red as fresh strawberries had she been focused more surely when he kissed her but because of the distraction of thought, not a hint of color came to her skin and she was able to remain as composed and graceful as ever. Something she was very thankful for, it would not do well to blush right then, not when questions needed to be asked and answered. Yet she couldn't ask them right then, it would not be proper.

"Perhaps one day we can share such an intimate moment, though it probably should wait until we are further along in our betrothal to share such a moment. To be alone already could be taken as a salacious act," she said quietly before looking back towards Nikolai. She looked at him for a moment before giving him a soft reassuring smile. "Though I do hope that one day we care deeply enough about each other to share such intimacies."

Seeing Prince Fords entering the room out of the corner of her eye she turned her attention to him. Giving a proper curtsy as he greeted them before returning the sentiment. "Good morning to you as well Leon. You look well rested and ready to go," she said in a friendly voice before noticing that noticing that Sade was entering the room as well. She smiled at the woman, extending her hand to her graciously. "Nothing to forgive, truly a pleasure to be able to meet you and speak with you."


Cynthia & Marc

Location: Police Station



"Training doesn't make you any less fearful. Seeing death doesn't make it any easier the next time. You basically just learn to choke down the nerves until you can vomit later on alone," Marc says quietly. Tim nods a bit. Tim had some training but he was a small town cop. He had more exposure to blood and death in video games than he ever did working as an officer of the law in Grimm. It just wasn't something he was used to but he had to imagine Marc knew what he was talking about. Until the last couple of days the only dead people he saw were from natural causes, old folks who had to be take to the funeral home. Other than Simone at prom, that was all he had seen or dealt with. Grimm wasn't famous for its crime, did people forget that? Mostly he had to deal with teens pulling teen pranks. Shit he did growing up. Like egging a house on Halloween.

"Tim, keep an eye on Cynthia, I am going after Tuesday," he said before stepping out the door and glancing around. He was pissed as hell at the woman but he wasn't pissed enough to let her go running around town by herself with a killer on the loose. "Riley, Roxanne, get back inside please until I come back to get you. Don't leave the building, it isn't safe," he said as he took a step away from them before stopping. "Seriously, inside. I need you two in there so I don't have to worry about you while I am trying to find Chloe and watch my own back, so get inside," he says in a firm voice before climbing into his car and driving off.

She couldn't have gone far and the town was small but there were plenty of places that she could have slipped off to. Pulling out his phone he hit the number he had programed for Tuesday and waited to see if she would answer. "Come on woman, answer the damn phone..." he muttered under his breath as he turned down the street headed towards the music store, maybe she had gone there.






@Oliver - The place is empty but thankfully for Ciel, there are no walkers present inside or out. The town itself seems oddly void of Walkers. Inside the place has been pretty cleaned out. Chairs taken, even some spots where it looks like tables had once been are cleared. There are several rooms but each has been cleared, the only thing that Ciel is able to find if he looks is a kitkat bar that is unopened and covered with dust hidden behind the cash register. Seems someone had stashed it away for a rainy day and bolted before they remembered to grab it. Outside of the place there are some scratch marks deep into the street - seems whatever was taken from the place had been drug over the ground. The direction the marking go? Towards the school. There are a few voices off in the distance that can be heard. People on the fence keeping a watchful eye out for any problems.

@Morose @Sigil - You two are good to go, it will take another ten to fifteen minutes to finish up, so your next post should cover it. Once done, go ahead and put up your things and go about your business as you want. One of the members of Newnan will come over to Bridgette and ask for some help with the horses, saying they are still a bit uneasy after everything earlier. He has them back in their stables now but he just is no good at getting them to calm the fuck down.

@Nallore @Sigil - Tatiana looks over towards Baz and cocks a brow. "Groves? Vhat groves? Pine groves? Vhy vould you vinter in such snow and bitter cold?" she asks, wondering just what in the world he was talking about. There was nothing to be seen in Russia during the winter other than miles and miles of snow, at least not where he was talking about. Was the man just lying through his teeth? She was about to call him on it when Meg spoke up. Turning her attention over to the woman she forced a nervous smile. "Very happy to. Ve bring many smiles I hope," she said, warming up a bit to speaking to her since she was talking about performing. It was one of the few times Tatiana ever felt truly at ease.

@Caits @Nallore - Enjoy the calm you love birds, LLA isn't throwing anything at you; yet.

@Morose @Nallore @FantasyChic - Lyon looks over towards Tiffany, grateful to the assistance. "Yes, please, hold him down, I have to set the break," he says quickly. Even though his attention is on the boy in trouble, he is keeping an eye out on Ed. If the man bolted he would hunt him down at this point. Most could leave the group whenever they wanted but he feared Ed was the type to get mixed up with Eden and cause even more trouble in the long run. That he couldn't have. Turning his attention in front of him he waits for Tiffany to brace the boy before giving the boy a little pep talk. "This is going to hurt, a lot. Not going to lie. But as soon as the bone is set the pain is going to go down a lot," he assures the kid before taking a deep breath and pulling as hard as he could to set the bone. He had only done this a handful of times but he knew he couldn't wait for Medic to get back. The boy screams out blood curdling, hot tears rolling down his cheeks as the scream cuts through the entire building. Lyon has to keep himself from cringing outwardly and to stay on task until the bone is set. As soon as it is he quickly sets a brace to one side of it and wraps it up tight. It isn't much but at least it is set for now. "Hopefully Medic will be back soon, we can't move him until then. Can you please go get some pillows and blankets for him out of the closet at the end of the hallway?" he asks Tiffany as he stands up and looks around to see where Ed is. His brows rising as he sees Ed is actually cleaning and doing a decent job at it. "Beautifully done, thank you," Lyon says in a very grateful voice to Ed as he gives the man a nod of approval to the work with a glint of pride in his eyes that the kid had actually done some work. He was not delusional enough to think he did it because of good reason but it was done nonetheless. It was the most he could ask for at that time.

@Sigil - "Well, just get them some plates. We actually have a show to attend tonight," Miss Sally informs James before filling him in on the two Russians that were now within the walls and were planning to put on a little bit of entertainment for the town that evening. "I doubt Zoie will be up to coming with everything that happened but I am sure your food will bring a smile to the poor girls face. Better hurry though, she's been alone with Richard for a while now, she might kill him being alone with him so long in such close quarters," Miss Sally said rolling her eyes a bit. "I will take a plate to Victor while you do," she adds before piling one up for the towns doctor and heading out of the mess hall.

@Sigil - "Yes boss," Astrid says as she hears the message come in from James' walkie. Shaking her head a little bit as she sits down and waits, eating as she does. Beni smiles, taking a small bag with him and opening it as he enters the wall to show there were no weapons in it. Shouldering the pack he waits for the door to close behind him before turning his attention towards Ash. "Right kind of you. So, where to?" he asks as he looks around. "Hope we can strike a deal, would be nice to have some place to trade with that I didn't have to worry about being stabbed in the back. Some right screwed up folks walking around these days," he says as he waits for Ash to lead the way. (Go ahead and bunny Beni to the mess hall.)








Location: Egyptian Museum



Vera looked over at Josephine and felt her own brow aching deeply. She wanted to go along on this? Found it exciting? That was odd to her. Not that she herself wasn't excited at the possibility of learning something new but the actress didn't strike someone that would want to go crawling around in the dust and insects that came along with a dig site. Maybe there was more to this woman that was on the surface. Granted that thought quickly left her mind when she saw Josephine quickly wrap her arm around Williams and him responding in a favorable way to the action. The man seemed to love to get her flustered, tormenting her constantly, and now welcoming advances of a new comer? Shaking her head she bit her tongue, jealously was something that was very unlady like indeed.

Turning her attention to the others she could not help but agree with them on many levels and disagree with them on others but it seemed that one person was not voicing her opinion at all on the matter. Looking over towards Nora, Vera opted to rise from her seat and step over to the woman. She seemed right prim and proper, reminding her of herself before she had left England. Vera still tried to conduct herself with the utmost decorum but time here in Egypt had done some work on roughing out her once pristine and polished edges. Granted she had to wonder how much of that was just from exposure towards Mr. Drake.

Glancing at the man with the starlet on his arm she found herself swallowing slightly. The entire situation irked her for reasons she could not fathom. They were not courting in any sense of fashion and he was far beneath her status. The ton would have her head if she ever dared to even consider a courtship with an American, much less a treasure hunter. Everything about him screamed scandal. Yet she could feel something pinging within her that his attentions were on another. Something akin to disappointment. She couldn't blame him though. Josephine was stunning. Bright blonde hair, eyes just as bright, a figure that she flaunted and she was obvious skilled in the art of seduction. Where as Vera none of those. She was pretty in her own right but it was hard to see beneath the oversized clothing, the way her brown hair curled and refused to stay out of her face. She was a bluestocking afterall, she had no idea how to even approach a man.

Pushing the thought out of her mind though the look of disappointment remained in her eyes she looked over towards Nora and smiled slightly, nearly tripping as she walked over to her. The woman was without any grace. "What are your thoughts on the matter Lady Kingston? I am most interested with what a fellow lady of the peers has to say on the matter," she said with the utmost sincerity. She wanted to know what Nora was thinking about on the subject. The woman had been branded herself and they all seemed to be in this together. Perhaps she wasn't shy like she had originally thought, perhaps she was just going by custom and waiting to speak when she was spoken to. Others had given their questions and opinions, Vera would wait to answer them until after she had spoken with Nora.



Location: Grand Continental (Main Lobby)



"It seems like we all have questions that need answers," Aziza said as she stood up and glanced around the room. She wanted nothing more than to just lock the door and forget about everything right then. The dreams, the attack, the burning light, and even the sound of the prison that had rung out hours before alerting the city that there was someone that had broken free. Being out on the streets was the last thing she wanted right then but it seemed no matter where she went that evening she could be reached by some force. Hearing Henry say he would go with them she let out a sigh of relief and smiled over to him.

Taking a small step to close the distance and suddenly wrapping her arms around him, pulling him in for a hug. Embracing someone was not how she normally acted, at least not towards someone of a different gender. She had exchanged hugs with Lauren from time to time, they were friends in her mind. This though, this embrace, was just everything coming out at once. Her fear and her relief that he would be by them. She was shaking as she held there for a moment, her nerves clearly showing. Slowly she pulled back as she realized what she was doing, looking up at him slowly. "Thank you," she said quietly before turning away and gathering her bag.

Moving over towards Lauren she slipped her arm through hers and made her way out the door, waiting for Henry to step out so she could lock it behind them. Letting Henry lead the way they moved through the streets of Cairo quickly, every sound and movement causing Aziza's head to turn this way and that as she kept an eye out for anything that could go wrong. Her fingers tightening a few times on Lauren's arm as they went until she breath a very noticeable sigh of relief as they entered the museum. Walking up to the information desk in the main hall Aziza started conversing in Egyptian Arabic with the receptionist, the two going back and forth for a few minutes and the woman behind the desk pointing down the hall way. Nodding Aziza turned back to look over towards Henry and Lauren.

"She says most everyone that works here has gone home from the night but that there is a librarian still in that might be able to help us," Aziza said before shrugging. "I guess it is better than nothing," she said before motioning down the hall way. Stepping around the desk, she made her way through the museum, trying to remember which direction to take and having to ask a janitor at one point which way they needed to go to get to Lady Munn's office. Finally finding the room the door open she peeked her head inside to see a rather large group of people speaking.

"Sorry to bother but we are looking for Lady Munn?"
Awesome, thankies. Figured it would be easier to just bunny us along instead of using the next week in posts to just get us there. Time to get these three into the fun stuff lol
@Pundii @Nallore - you two good with my bunnying our character to the museum?
