If things get real bad and you have to resort to cannibalism remember: Vegans first, they are the closest thing to grass fed.

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."

@Scallop - Question - Where did Felix get the dice? It isn't listed on your CS on his person or in his personal belongings.
Okay, going to be making a quick update with the original OOC - moving Abbas down to NPC's and adding in Peter to NPC's
@Morose - On day 3




Elizaveta smiled over towards Nikolai and nodded though she was a bit concerned. Gossip and stories? She wasn't one for gossip and she doubted any of her stories of growing up behind the walls of her Empire. Glancing around she noticed that were more coming in and she greeted each one in turn with a smile, a warm welcome, and a nod of greeting with her head. It seemed that others were perhaps still sleeping or maybe they had left in the night, not happy with whom they were betrothed with, either way she wondered if any others would make their appearance to breakfast. Time was passing and the sun was growing in the sky. The night was supposed to be filled with dancing and getting to know each other more. Yet looking around it seemed that the number of men and women was completely one-sided at this time.

As Nikolai walked over to another she made her way over to the food finally and grabbed herself a few small items to nibble on. She was never one to be truly hungry in the morning, it usually took her being up a while and doing various activities before her want of food truly kicked in. Perhaps she should go do something. There was a lot going on and frankly she wasn't used to dealing with so many people she was unacquainted with at once, though she figured she would have to get accustomed to it at one point. Yet, that didn't mean she had to right then. If they were going to have the Gala that evening and a slumber party the following night, it would give her plenty of time, and there was also the next three months. That settled it, it was time to do something and what she wanted to do was get some fresh air.

Turning, she stepped over to Nikolai and smiled as she rested her hand on his arm. "Excuse me for but a moment but I believe I am going to step out for a bit. I feel that a brisk ride this morning would do me wonders," she said in a gracious voice. "Gentlemen, ladies," she said with a tilt of her head before turning and heading out of the breakfast room with Sergi on her heels.

"Leaving without the rest of the guests showing up?" he asked as he escorted her back towards her chambers.

"Yes, I need some fresh air so I concluded that a morning ride would be just the thing," she explained before stepping into her room with him posted outside of the door while she changed. Normally she would have chosen something a bit more formal to ride but the rolling hills of the country she was visiting made her feel a bit more free so she opted for something more comfortable. Once finished she headed down to the stables, Sergi following close behind her as she found a steed that seemed to respond to her before she began to saddle him. The stable hands looking at her oddly as she waved them away and explained that she had this herself.
@Scallop @Pundii - On day 6
Anyone heard from Haley or Neno? I know Souffles stuck to phone only basically for now but the others, well wondering what is up of anyone knows. O.o
@Oliver Actually you don't roll for anything. Everything that happens via the World Narratives is determined through a randomization technique I developed and Lady Luck decides what happens, who lives, who dies, how, and when. (There is a tutorial I wrote in depth on the subject in the articles section under Gming 201)

We've used it since the beginning of the RP. Rolls, when needed happen behind the scenes and results are posted in the World Narratives. Sometimes I will conduct them in the chat, other times I record them. Depends on what is happening. Only the GM or CoGm make the rolls for Lady Luck.
@FantasyChic k, just remember to take note that Camilla is interjecting nearly as soon as captain's sentence finishes
@FantasyChic Yeah, it's just Anisa bitching she didn't run it by her and wait for approval first. Atticus was digging graves at the time and didn't hear the com being in a field outside of the ship.







@BlueSky44 - "Well then, I will get your baby back up in the air as soon as possible!" Gideon said as he sat down on the ground and slipped underneath the console. If the Captain had been in the room he would not have dared to call the Vindicator Daphne's baby but hell, she wasn't so he could. He felt the ship was as much his and Daphne's as the Captains even if they didn't own it. He repaired it, she flew it. It was as simple as that. "So, how did the ride back here go? The Mule handle alright or do I need to tinker with it some?" he asked wiggling his eye brows before chuckling and getting to work on the console.

@Morose - The place is a decent sized mess cause of everything but at least nothing is broken. It just needs some elbow grease. Over in the room with the kid from Patience's crew, there is some banging going on and a muttered voice. Sounds like the kid is bitching about being hungry or something but Dorothy won't be able to make out exactly what he is saying unless she opened the door. Thing is though, does she want to do that? He is injured so he probably wouldn't be much to put down if he tried anything then again, who knows what he has been up to since they locked him up.



Anisa Crowe

Location: Her Room (1)


Anisa turned slowly as Jackson spoke and sighed to herself. "To what end? You couldn't have changed anything. At most you would have died then as well. Then what would have happened? You'd be six feet under instead of still here," she said firmly. One man wouldn't have made the difference in the Battle of Serenity. They were out gunned and out numbered. Maybe she would have died as well trying to save his ass as he tried to save his wife. Maybe they all would be dead. Maybe not, maybe her and him would have still survived. She just knew though, even though she didn't know if she would have lived or not, his wife still would have died. She was the first to go. Nothing could have changed that.

Seeing him sit down and seeing the young boy she once knew emerge nearly broke her. Stepping over to him she sat down beside him and draped her arm over his shoulder, pulling him close and tucking his head beneath her chin like she used to if he was upset back on Shadow. "You need to start living Jackie. You have something to live for, if you would just see it," she said in a rarely soft voice before she kissed his forehead. Leaning back she forced a smile before making her way back to the stairs and then up and out of her quarters. She had other things to take care of and she knew if she stayed she would end up saying more than she should. More than he could probably take. She had waited all these years to say anything, she could take it to her grave if she needed.

Climbing up the ladder she made her way over to the Dining room and leaned against the door frame for a moment as she watched Atticus clean the floor while Gene and Lionel continued cooking. So she was back. Safely thankfully but she had put the crew at risk. Running off without word, after they were attacked, with Patience trying to kill them. She just left. It was reckless and the Captain didn't take her crew being put in harms way lightly.




Atticus Pearson

Location: Dining Room


Atticus nodded towards Gene as he got to work on cleaning the dining room, looking over to the two in the kitchen area of the same room before shaking his head a little bit. He wondered when the captain would make her entrance and tear into Gene for leaving. Granted maybe she wouldn't. Maybe the Companion had actually informed the Captain that she was going to leave before she had and everything was okay but it wouldn't surprise him if Gene didn't. She seemed to do what she wanted when she wanted. Granted she was paying for the shuttle so she could technically do what she wanted with it when she wanted, then again it was the Captain's ship and the shuttle was part of that, so the Captain did in fact have final say when Gene could and could not take the shuttle cause if the Vengeance needed to get out of dodge they didn't need to be held up at the last moment while they were waiting on Gene to get back.

That last thought made him sure that Anisa hadn't given permission. She wouldn't want the crew gone when Patience was sending people to kill the crew. So, Gene must not have asked and done it anyways. This was not going to play out well for anyone. He wondered when things went down if he should just keep quiet or speak up. He would wait to see how it actually did play out though because he didn't know what was going to be said and just how bad things were going to get.

Getting back to cleaning, he opted at least to slow down on the clean up some, so he would have an excuse to be in the dining room area when Anisa did appear. Hearing foot steps he looked up and say Anisa standing there in the door way with her arms crossed her her chest. She looked livid but underneath it she looked hurt. Something else was going on but she was hiding it well, wrath for Anisa came before any other sin.

"You ever leave this ship again to go fuck some one without consulting me first, I will leave you in the black," Anisa hissed coldly as she eyes Gene.



Camilla Powell

Location: Her Room (5)


Camilla found a small smile creeping along her lips as she heard him say that he wanted to see her. After all this time she had figured he had moved on, dedicated to the Alliance at all costs. That the Alliance came above everything, including her. Yet there he was right in front of her. Well not exactly in front of her but on the screen and it was as close as they had come in so long. To hear he wanted to still see her, it meant more than she wanted to admit. More than she could ever admit to those on the ship. She was already branded a traitor, someone not to trust. If they knew she was speaking to him right then, Anisa would slit her throat, that was if Jackson didn't get to her first.

Then the subject changed and her tanned skin went pale white. She understood what he was getting at and she felt sick to her stomach. She knew he would stop at not costs to get what he needed for the Alliance but there he was trying to warn her. Did he think that she would actually be able to convince the crew to turn themselves in? To him of all people? They would fight to the death, she knew they would. And she would be caught in the middle of it, expected to kill him and his crew to defend Anisa's crew. How would she be able to cross that line? It was one of her biggest fears.

"No Firefly crew will ever go easily. They will die before they are taken. They have learned the hard way there is no mercy when it comes to the Alliance.... They have learned the hard way that the Alliance comes first to its soldiers," she said firmly but quietly. Looking down she sighed as she pushed her blonde hair back out of her face. "We would rather die than be in the hands of the Alliance.." she added before her eyes came back up, a trickle of tears rolling down her cheek as she looked at him.

"Make sure you know what you are fighting for before you pull the trigger," Camilla said softly before cutting the call and flopping back in her seat. Looking up at the ceiling she wondered what was going to happen. She knew though she couldn't keep this from Anisa or the crew. She had to tell them their life was in danger, even if it meant loosing her own. She swore when she took the job on the ship that she would do whatever it took to repay the debt, even if it wasn't hers to repay.

Standing up she slipped up the ladder of her room and stopped as she heard Anisa tear into Gene. She cringed inwardly but she knew this couldn't wait. She just spat it out. "The Alliance is coming for us."




Jahosafat Moreau

Location: Med Bay


Glancing over at Harper as he left when paged he cocked a brow but nodded. He wasn't one to tell the man to say, even if his dear friend needed assistance. Thing was he did need the other box up there. It could wait though, it was locked up tight and there were few people on the ship right then because of how many that had been discharged before they took off. Turning he went to work on getting the vials of blood that he needed to start analyzing.

Then things became a bit more interesting as a page from the bridge came in asking for someone in medical to come to the out of order bathroom. The bridge didn't go into further explanation and it didn't even tell him why he was needed, just that he was. Well anyone from medical could do but right then there was no one else but him since well there was a skeleton crew there in the medical bay. Hell there was a skeleton crew for the entire ship. Granted there was another doctor but he hadn't seen the man since he walked off a while ago.

Rolling his sleeves up, he secured them and then grabbed his medical kit. Since there were no details given he didn't know exactly what he would need. Looking over at Foy and Carla he gave out a broad smile. "If you two would be kind enough to keep an eye on things right here for a moment I would appreciate it greatly. I will return post haste," he said before turning on his heels and making his way through the ship. Coming up to the designated bathroom he stopped in his tracks as he came to the rooms doorway and spotted Mr. Harper and then the scene. "Well I do declare it looks as if someone tried to suck an bull through a garden hose and failed in the worst way possible."
