Bio

✾ 𝙻𝚊𝚍𝚢 𝙰𝚋𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚊
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."

Millicent Wyndham


Location: Wyndham Estate near Hyde Park (Inside)


Millicent waited within the door, seeing the others leave from her vantage point and waiting to see if Virginia would follow suit or just come on in. Seeing her friend come up the steps of the home she smiled gratefully. She did not want to be alone with her step mother right then considering everything that was going on and the woman's out burst just a few scant moments before. She knew that Elizabeth would not curb her speech in front of guests but having an outsider there did tend to keep the woman's hands from flying so freely in Millicent's direction.

Slipping her arm through Virginia's, Millicent lead Virginia through her home and up the stairs to the second floor where it could be easily heard through the doors that her step mother was voicing her ever over spoken opinion of the people that Millicent chose to be around and none of it was flattering. Milli could do nothing but try to drown it out in her mind as she focused on Virginia's words about her brother.

Once they were inside Millicent's room and the door was closed behind them by Abigail, she let go of Virginia and sat down at her vanity seat, gesturing for her dear friend to have a seat anywhere she wished. "I know you wish not to let your sibling to be out of your protection for such training but I would suggest that you make haste with his training. Not only for his protection but for yours as well. As one that can attest that having untrained figures in the home is daunting. I must remain to see to my sisters protection despite my step mothers wishes for me to wed now. Though I will admit, being able to keep an arms length from many of the unsavories is welcome, being unable to seek anything for myself in hopes of leaving this self imposed prison is taxing. Not that you will have such issues but it is something to be mindful of."

As Millicent spoke, Abigail stepped out to retrieve some boiling water and some merigold petals. Setting them down on one of the tables within the bedroom suite, the handmaid seeped the petals in the water. Dampening a piece of linen she handed it over to Millicent as she finished, Milli pressing the cloth to her cheek and sighing slightly as she looked away from her closest friend.

"I wish our fathers were here to stand by us. To be able to seek their knowledge and experience as well as lean on their strength right now would be a welcome reprieve for us both. How I miss the days when I would sit in my fathers study as he went over the ledgers, listening to what would be coming in on the next ship and what would be sent where. The house was far more level and warm when he was here than it is now. I hope you can forgive me for allowing it to fall to its current state," she said as Abigail gave her a sympathetic look, not wanting to speak against her mistress's step mother, as much as she detested the woman's actions.

Shaking off the morose thought process Millicent looked back over towards Virginia and gave her a half hearted smile. I am sorry to keep you, rambling on as such that I am. Will you be needing any assistance with Almack's? I would be despaired to think your body would be left unprotected should you need to touch on your persona skills."
@mnkee @Sigil @rivaan @Pundii @Sputnik @Morose

Okay few quick updates - I will be posting in a bit for Millicent. Those of you paired up heading elsewhere will be pmed what happens and what you see. (Though remember, you can continue to look and such - that will open doors in the future perhaps) - Lauders character has been moved to NPC - Sigil, you can take control of said NPC until they split up in Rp as it were, then he will be a Gm controlled NPC.

@Sigil @Morose @Pundii @FantasyChic @BlueSky44 @Dragoknighte

Once Blue posts I will do an update to see how everything goes down, we will have a counter reset at that point so that everyone can catch up.
@Sputnik As per the rules that you agreed to when you submitted your CS - all extensions must be requested by the end of day 5 of your counter. You are already on day 8 of 7 when you are requesting an extension (the day of removal). Since you were not active the last week at all, it does tell me though that you aren't just pulling my leg as it were. I will give you 24 hours from this post to get a post in, but it will come with this stipulation - No more extensions will be granted for any reason for you for the next two months. (That is on top of the 5 day rule, there will be no more extra time granted after the 2 months is over if an extension is not requested by the end of day 5.)




Date: Sunday May 21th, 2017




Anyone not replied to here was PMed their characters information. ^_~

Alleyway Behind Club AfterDark: - Relic shakes his head. "No, I don't want to leave it behind but better they find the car out front than us," he says. He knows it is a risk leaving the car for now but better than walking onto a crime scene just to get his car. "It can't be traced to me," he assures Mali. The car isn't in his name and anything with his name on it is on him. "We need to get to the docks to meet my sister," he says before gasping as Mali picks him up. He barely weighs 120lbs soaking wet, so the lift and carry really shouldn't be anything big for Mali. He moves around a bit to get a better view, telling her to hand left or right as is needed to get them away from the club and over to a main street. "Put me down please," he asks her as they come up on a road. "We should be able to catch a bus two blocks down from here," he says as he points off.

Classic Building 3C: - Marc looks at Felix as if he is mental. "Are you mental? You read something and think you can handle a weapons exchange with people that are able to take down Navy Seals? Do you just write fiction or do you really live in a fantasy world?" Marc asks before turning slightly as he hears Riley lock her door. Cocking a brow he turns his attention back towards Felix slowly, wondering why she locked the door. Maybe she wants to change or just wants a moment alone but to lock the door? Something seemed off. "Right.... okay, let's go over what we have. We have files on people, people that are dead and then some. A drop location or meet up location. All hidden in a dead Marines apartment. With all this, isn't this the time where your writer senses start tingling and you give me some out of the box absurd conclusion that only makes sense in the head of a writer but we follow it anyways, Castle?"

The Safe House: - Risa watches Roy leave and runs her hand through her hair before standing up and gathering the blank id's and anything else she needs. "I say we get out of here while we can. I have a burner phone I found, Roy probably knows the number, if not, oh well. We can use it if we need. Right now let's get these ID's straightened out. We could use public transportation but I hate to say it, it's better if we procure a vehicle. I really don't want to get stuck in a shoot out on the bus," she says before shouldering her bag. Heading over to the door she opens it and looks around for the first real time since she was brought there. "What in the world," she says as she looks around. They are in town, that much is sure but she isn't sure where they are. The house is run down on the outside but the entire block seems that way. There isn't much besides a convenience store in the distance it seems. "Guess first thing is first, finding out where in the damn city we are," she mutters as she waits for Lucas and closes the door behind her. Turning she starts heading towards the corner store. Looks like they are in the bad side of town, the sound of cop sirens can be heard off in the distance.
@Morose @Rivaan @Sigil @FantasyChic @Caits @Nallore @Oliver

Okay, WN is up - HOly shit, no one died!!!! In fact the rolls went so well that everyone is in the clear for a small time jump that happened in the RP to get the convoy to the crash site. Enjoy the lull! Counters are now reset to my last post.





The Crash Site - Astrid looks over towards Ray and shakes her head some. "Not yet but soon, just rest," she tells Ray before looking back at Ceil and glad he seems to be leveling out somewhat. Looking around the hoard seems to be looking elsewhere and Astrid grumbles under her breath as she sees the direction they are turning. She was just glad the walls were still standing. Picking up the phone she calls Ash and wait for him to pick up. If he does she says the following - "Hurry, hoard heading towards Newnan but away from us," she says to him before hoping out of the bed of the truck and looking over the new comer for a moment. "Astrid," she says frankly. "We have given him plasma, fluids, pain medications and antibiotics. We cannot give him more until we get him back for blood typing and matching. Keep him comfortable," she says before looking at Tiffany. "Keep an eye on her just in case," she says towards Tiffany about Chloe. Picking up the weapons she hands them over to Tiffany and takes a step back from the truck to examine the damage. They aren't going anywhere.

Inside Franklin High School - Sana nods slightly and looks over towards Amelia. "Right okay, need fresh water, the hydrogen peroxide out of that cabinet, the suture kit from here. How are you with a needle?" Sana asks as she rolls up her pants leg and rolls over on the table so that Amelia can get to her wound without issue. "Medic must be out helping the rest of the school, sorry but you're gonna have to stitch me up. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it," she says as she lays down and starts to explain the procedure as best as she can. She doesn't know much but enough to clean it out and how to sew it up basically. It isn't anything too hard but she knows it is going to be painful and she refuses any pain meds for it. "Ever get the feeling like something went horrible wrong?" she asks as her face turns sour and she sighs. The gun fire is over, thankfully, and no one else is being brought in yet. That is either really good new or really bad.

Downtown Franklin - The trucks and cars pulling out do not seem to take notice of Riley. They work their way through the streets slowly before speeding out of town a short while later. Seems they know the way in and out, where to turn and which cars to pull around for the best exit. Seems they had been scouting out the place to know how to get in and out so quickly. Within the city it seems most everything has been gutted at this point. There will be no water or supplies to find but there also seem to be no walkers other a few that are wandering by and getting caught on the various road traps that are set up. They are rather obvious to the living so Riley should be able to weave in and out of them rather quickly without hassle on foot.

Newnan Tower - Once James is up there, he will see the convoy leaving through the south main gate. Within the walls of the City, things are calming down as the fire gets put out. Sophia's body lays out on the ground as Dick sits down on the curb, Froggy rushing over to him to tend to his burns until he can get him back to the infirmary. Over at the north end of the city somethings are happening... "Hands up" one of the men at the wall yell towards Beatrice. Several more on the wall turn and point their guns at her but no one is firing, yet. "James, we got a single coming in towards the emergency exit gate at the north," the man on the wall calls out. "Come on, show me your hands and tell me just what in the hell you want," another demands to know as he looks at her through the sight of his rifle as he takes aim.

Newnan Streets - Froggy gets Dick patched up and tells him to go to the infirmary. Dick nods, saying he wants to check on Zoie anyways, Victor is forced to stop him, giving him a knowing look. Dick stumbles back slightly, shaking his head before turning and storming off down the street away from the infirmary. He isn't going to the infirmary now, that much is clear. Froggy sighs and lets the man go before heading over towards the Armory to check on the people putting out the fire and getting other tended to. He knows more injured are coming in and he wants to make sure that everyone in Newnan is tended to before even more come in from outside of the gates.

Newnan Infirmary - "You no let someone die, you help people. Sometime's people die. Nothing ve can do. That is life, alvays has been. Ve all die. Nov you must live, so they death not vithout meaning," Tatiana says sympathetically. Holding still she lets Neisha check her head, nothing more than some bumps and bruises. The girl looks like she will be just fine. Looking over towards Kris, Tatiana gives her a nervous smile. "From Russia, vas in Vegas vhen outbreak happen." Tatiana sighed slightly, hoping that Jack was okay right then, she didn't know what was going on outside and no one was coming in to give the infirmary an update right then. The radio that was left in infirmary at all times rang in that someone was at the northern gate and Tatiana bit her bottom lip timidly. "Hope no more problem causers."

Road Leaving Newnan - Alight. Jack and Bazhooli manage to get in the Hoard Buster before it leaves the gate and climb in through the suicide doors. The gate closes up tight behind them after both the Hoadbuster and Megs car are out. The radios will crackle a little between the two and you will get the last messages in from the town before the only two you can contact are each other as you head south.

Now, the rolls have been made and everyone is clear for the next 30 minutes at least. Everything will go smoothly in and outside of Newnan, as well as in and outside of Franklin - including at the crash site on the road. (Holy shit right?) - After a drive taking the back roads south from Newnan, a few off roads and detours, but the convoy will manage to get to the crash site and everything will be clear. Astrid is sitting on the fallen tree, Tryke's body has been pulled off of it and is laying down next to the truck with a sheet over her. The Franklin crew stands up but Astrid let's them know it's their ride. She is looking sweaty and feverish but she is still holding as strong as she can. Standing up on the tree trunk she holds up a hand to signal to Ash everything is safe but the blood has majorly stained her dress and hair, as the winds kick up the massive bite mark on her shoulder and base of her neck is clear. "Don't shoot me yet, I'm still speaking," she says flatly.
@Catchphrase Sure thing, and hank you for formally withdrawing instead of waiting on removal on my part. It is a welcome change to how others sometimes just vanish without a word. (Why I have no problem welcoming you back at a later time. ^^)



Location: Her Office



Vera leaned over the tiles as Nora began to explain what she had discovered. Her head tilted to the side somewhat as her fingers ran over the mosaics that the tiles created. She hadn't noticed it before but she was no mathematician either. Pulling up her chair she seated herself down and began to look more closely at the titles compared to the rubbings. The markings on the tiles were obviously added with some intent but Vera was not sure what that was, yet.

"Intriguing," she whispered as her curls fell over her brow while she leaned over more to get a closer look. "I can translate them but I don't think that will add us until we know what all the points are. With the missing pieces, whatever is being said here is incomplete and which the ancient Egyptians a single missing hieroglyphic could mean the difference of black and white."

Looking up she glanced towards William before looking away quickly and back over towards Nora. "If we had not already decided to make the trek to the dig site it would have been made for us because of this discovery. We need the missing tiles." Standing up she gave Nora a soft smile and an approving nod.

"Your contribution has been invaluable thus far and I am sure it will be even more so come the days ahead. I think that is all we will be able to decipher this evening, perhaps it would be best if we all got some much needed rest. Would you meet me on the morrow after noon here? We can speak more on this as I try to procure us the rights and papers to enter the dig site," she asked of Nora before taking a breath and scribbling down on a piece of a paper and thrusting it over towards William without looking at him.

"This is where you can find Lord Major Keystone, my uncle will be needing a list from you on dig supplies for the trek." She waited for him to take the paper before retracting her hand and sitting back down. I will finish up here and then retire, I suggest you two do the same, it will be a long road ahead of us, if you should need anything Lady Kingston, you can reach me here or," she said jotting down her residence on another piece of paper and handing it gently to Nora. "at this address."




Location: Qasr El Nil Barracks Officers Club



"Very well then, we should retire. Thank you for the offer Lord Major but we are just a few grains of sand from here at the Grand Continental for the evening. I believe the walk would do us both some good," Aziza said gratefully before reaching into her purse and pulling out a key.

"Here, I can retrieve another at the front desk," she added as she handed the key over towards Lauren.

"Very well the, safe travels for the evening and I hope to see you both again soon. Uncle, once Miss Ridgeway is ready to retire for the evening I should like to take you up on the offer of the conveyance. I can escort her to the hotel and then return," Peter said before bidding both Aziza and Harry good evening as they exited the officers club.

Aziza gave them all a smile and Lauren a quick embrace before taking Harry's arm and waltzing out the door. Once they had exited the barracks proper and were out on the streets of Cairo she let out a soft breath and rested her head on his shoulder. "I did wish that you would stay with both Lauren and myself this evening but if you wish to retire back to your residence after you escort me to the hotel I will not ask for you to stay. Whichever you are most comfortable with though please know you are most welcome. The suite is large enough for all of us while maintaining privacy."

Peter smiled as the two left and then looked over towards Lauren. "Well my dear, have you chosen to stay because you truly enjoy the company of two war veterans or did you wish to give the couple a moment to themselves?" he asked with a cheeky grin curling at the side of mouth before raising his glass to her and then taking a long sip. "To the fellowship of the Ring," he chuckled.
@Catchphrase No worries, I can shelve your character as a nameless NPC and if you should wish to join back up later on, just drop me a PM and we can work something out.
