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."

@Dragoknighte Um... kinda confused, my back up characters (Npc Sana and Lola) are being bunnied? Is this going to be an ongoing thing? Because if so I just can't... I request that other NPC's be used and not ones part of my characters backstory. ~holding post for now~
Sorry for the shit post, been a day. Needed to do this one and another, got this one out barely, said fuck it to the other until tomorrow. >< If I missed something, just let me know.

Okay, I will post tomorrow. (On my day 6 counter) - This is going to cause some of you to be pushing for posting times, so I will reset the counters after I post tomorrow. (Sorry, was going to today but ended up driving half way across the state and back this morning in the middle of those shitty storms tearing up the South East US. Going through 5 tornado warnings with the kids had my white knuckled and wanting a drink by the time I got home. LOL So unstressing my brain this evening and will post tomorrow)




Date: Sunday May 21th, 2017




Justice Asylum: - Marc leaned back and sipped his coffee, half chuckling to himself as he was hearing the conversation between Felix and Cynthia. She was as bat shit as ever but some of what she was talking about perked his interest. That was until Riley held out the phone for him. Cocking a brow he set down his coffee and took it from her. Listening in on the other line. "Hello?"

"Yes, this is Tinder. A meeting? Um, sure. Give me an hour or two I guess if that would be alright with you. If not, will have to be tomorrow. Currently in the middle of something," Marc said before glancing over towards Riley. He wondered what the coroner wanted to talk to him about but he wasn't going anywhere until he was done at the asylum.

Justice Morgue: - Natasha watched as Roy left and sat down. Turning around she finished filing the paper work on releasing the bodies and put them away. She had handed Caesar what he needed a while ago, so that was taken care of. At least on her end. Up to him when he wanted to move them. Though she found it a tad odd he was making dinner plans right then. Looking over her shoulder she shook her head. "Thank you for the offer but I'll need to take care of a few things before tomorrow to make sure I have everything in order. Meds, packing, etc. Plus will need to inform the higher ups that I will be leaving town a few days as well as Cecily. Have to find someone to come and cover the coroners office before either of us can leave. If we can't find replacements, neither of us can go..." she said as she waited for Cecily to be done with the phone call. They also had to figure out what excuse to use. Couldn't exactly tell people - she was shot. Didn't seem like they wanted that to get around, otherwise they would have gone to the hospital instead of coming up the sewers.

Cab: - "Sounds like me and my sisters but reversed. Well me and Thana. She moved out when I was like 8 and wasn't really home much when I was young. Usually getting into trouble. Zoie stayed near home for a while, so knew her a little better but not by much," Relic said absentmindedly as he sat there in the streets kept passing by. They were heading north and the city was getting less dense as they went.

"Oh sorry about that. Going to meet my sister now, Zoie's house. It is outside of Justice a little ways. She's still a country girl at heart I guess so she wanted something more in the suburbs. Safe as place as any right now. Least less of a chance to get mowed down by a drive by," he added. He took a deep breath, tapping his finger to his lips a little bit before adjusting his glasses. "Um, not to be nosey but why... um the body building?" he asked out of the blue. He seemed rather nervous about asking, half wanting to know, half afraid she would belt him for asking.

Scooby Gang

Location: Grand Continental



Abbas fought the change over and being taken away, shouting various what one could assume were insults in a language none of them understood but by the way his face looked he wasn't happy and was enraged. It lead to a wonderful moment of one of the local police knocking him out before tossing him in the back of a wagon. They didn't want to hear it anymore than anyone else did. Sure, it was probably an abuse of force but in this day and age, he got what he deserved. The body of the man that had been killed was being carried out with a table cloth over it and taken away as well.

The local authorities thanked both Sgt Walsh and Haakon for bringing him to them and assured the two men that they would find out what they could. Another round of thanks came to the Lord Major for bringing the "troops" to keep things calm but they assured him that now that they had the man in custody it wouldn't be needed much longer.

Peter narrowed his eyes towards Abbas as he was carted off before looking over towards his uncle. "Seems the sergeant is going back to look after Miss Tarek, I dare say that things are calm here. Shall we invite them back to the barracks for the evening? If anything we should check with your friend personally, she is expecting Miss Ridgeway back and she is staying with Vera within the safety of the walls," he said towards his uncle.

He motioned for him to come with him and invited him up if he would like. Then he turned and leaned on his cane, walking through the crowd and after Sgt. Walsh since he didn't know where the women were right then. Aziza looked over at Josephine and nodded. "Yes, I couldn't agree more. I dislike not knowing what is going on with that... how do you Americans say? Ass hat?" she said before walking over to the porch and stepping out into the night for a little bit of fresh air.

"Thank you, but hopefully it won't be needed. Sgt. Walsh and Lauren are supposed to be staying here this evening with me but after everything that has happened I am not sure even here is a safe place," she said as she stood outside and looked out over the night skyline that was Cairo.


Elsewhere In The City



Vera was a mess to get up the stairs. It wasn't that she was fighting with Lauren to get into her bed. It was that she was clumsy sober and well drunk, she couldn't hit the floor if she fell. She was this way and that. It wasn't until her head hit the pillow that she finally just dropped out and went to sleep, sprawled there like a rag doll that had been tossed aside by a child.

After a few minutes there was a knock at the door. On the other side stood a steward carrying a tray which had on it a fresh pitcher of water and a bottle of aspirin. "For the Lady... I feel she should need it come waking up," he said. There was also an array of light finger foods and juices on the tray. "In case you are still hungry miss, and if she can keep anything down when she awakens," he added. If he was allowed he would put the tray down on a table in the room before leaving.

It didn't take too long for the surgeon to show up. A knock at Lady Kingstons door echoed through the hallway. He stood there, a shorter old man with large glasses and a shortly trimmed beard. He wore a suit with large leather elbow patches and carried his medical bag in one hand while resting his walking cane over his other arm. He was a bit blurry eyed himself, looking as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep rather suddenly, his suit slightly disheveled as if it had been put on rather quickly part of the shirt remained untucked and the tail of it was hanging from beneath his vest.

"Lady Kingston? Dr. Moran, I was told you couldn't sleep this evening? Poor child, a woman shouldn't worry herself with the tolling of the bells like this," he said in a rather pandering tone.
@FantasyChic - Day 5
@Charnobylisk - Says day 4 but it will roll over to 5 today.


Kyra

Location: The Magistrates Office -> Cross Swords Tavern
Interacting With: Femnal
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Sliding the map into her pack she slipped it onto her back and kept walking towards the tavern from the Magistrates office, her mind going over what she had discussed with Marcus, what was on the map, and what they had been through over the last week. Stopping her her tracks, she remembered something and pulled the map back out before glancing around the streets and back towards the way they had come form the Orc Camp. Pursing her lips the map was back in her pack without another thought.

Stepping over to the tavern she spotted Ash curled up outside of the stables, seemed he wasn't going too far from Epona and that Ntaj had taken care of the horse for her like she had asked. She was grateful enough for that as she made her way into the building proper. Though seeing Thomas and Njat with the guy from earlier and another new comer made her brows furrow. Turning she slipped over to the bar and had a seat on a stool as Femnal came over to her.

"Has Keystone returned yet?" she asked before ordering something to eat and drink for the evening.

"No, they aren't back yet from taking the girl to the temple, granted if that crack pot is as winded as ever, they might be there a while," Femnal said as he poured some mead for Kyra and slipped it across the bar towards her.

"I see," she said before glancing around the room, her eyes falling on the four of them speaking before turning back towards Femnal. "Know the two sitting with the mage and the half-orc?"

Femnal perked a brow as he glanced over and shook his head. "Don't know them, granted don't know the two that came back with you either. Not going to cause any problems are they?" he asked.

"Just don't let the mage try to be a healer and keep the kitchen stocked and you should be fine. At least from the two I know. Can't vouch for the others," she said before she took a sip of her mead and awaited her meal.

"That why you aren't over there with them?"

"Pretty much. One of them gives me a bad vibe. I don't trust anyone who goes snooping around a village trying to get information but won't even tell the local constable what he knows or thinks he knows about the attacks. Doesn't sit right with me. I don't share information with those types," she said as her food was brought over. Picking up the bowl she tossed a few coin on the bar top and headed outside with her food and drink. Taking a seat on the ground next to Ash she leaned against the wall of the stable she began to eat slowly, thinking to herself while she waited for Keystone and the others to return.

Over at the temple Yomdi listened, well maybe he was listening. He was pacing around the room not even looking at them as he stroked his beard and kept messing around with his robes. It was when he finally heard about Sana singing to cast that he stopped and looked over before looking away again.

"Ahh a singer! Wind! Yes, yes, it all makes sense. Winds moving, cold, hot, hard, soft. So many winds so little time," he said repeating those very lines over and over again. He must have repeated those words a dozen times before he finally stopped in his tracts and looked over at Keystone from across the room at this point.

"Put her in the center of the room, yes, yes. Winds. Why you bring her to yomdi, Yomdi knows this. Yomdi knows these things. Wind things. Cannot do without wind. Yes, hurry, there, there," he said pointing to the center of the room. Sana looking weakly but strangely towards Yomdi.

"He's nuts..." she said but Yomdi only laughed.

"Not nuts, nuts grow, come from earth. Yomdi is wind!" he exclaimed like a giddy school boy. "Now, stop talking, sounds like you been gargling gravel. Yuck winds!"
All I can think is some of you all would make the worst secret agents in history. Telling all your business to anyone.
@Pundii On day 5...


Tatiana Korvo


Location: Building F -> The Wedding Site (Near 10 - Medical Garden)
Interacting With: Froggy



Tatiana closed the door softly as the two left and turned around to look over towards Victor. She couldn't help but smile at his words and knowing that it wouldn't be long until she was married to Jack. Stepping back from the hug her brows rose as he started blubbering and reached over to the counter, pulling out a few tissues and handing them to him. "Ve need more tears of joy around here," she said in an understanding voice. It was taking everything in her not to start balling but she was determined not to look like a racoon when she walked down the isle. Looking at the clock, it was drawing near and she wished the call would come in for them to leave. Any longer and she might just run out the door and "elope" but how in the hell would one elope these days?

Victor smiled and sniffled as he took the tissue from Tatiana and he dabbed his eyes gently before blowing his nose into the tissue. "Thank you, I did not think I was still so emotional in this world." He then realised he still had not given his present over and he glanced over to see them on the sofa that he had been sitting on earlier. He would need to remember to give them to both Jack and Tatiana later, it was too close to the ceremony to give them now.

The radio on her kitchen counter crackled and the voice of Ash came ringing through. It was time. She squealed with delight as she ran to the mirror in the living room for one last check. "Time to go, come on, come on," she giggled, bubbling with excitement. Stepping over to the coat rack by the door she retrieved the silver cloak that Miss Sally had some how managed to create for her. She swore it used to be a lining for some curtains in one of the buildings but hey, it worked!

"Could you help? My fingers von't vork," she said nervously as she kept trying to tie it in place and fumbling it up. Taking a deep breath she tried again but it was no use. Between her jitters, the excitement running through her, and holding her bouquet she wasn't going to be able to tie the damn thing herself if her life depended on it.

Grinning now, Victor walked over quickly to stand before Tatiana and took the cloak from her trembling fingers and fastened it tightly for her, but not too tight. He didn't want to hinder the wedding night from his knot tying experience. He chuckled quietly to himself before placing two, what he hoped would be, calming hands on his little ballerina's​ shoulders. "Try not to let Jacks tears of joys set you off." He smiled warmly and kissed the tiny little figure on the top of her head before moving beside her and hooking his arm out for her to hold. "Shall we go meet your future?" He could feel the moisture building in his eyes again but he tried to hide it so that he did not set Tati off.

"Dah!" she chirped like a little bird as she slipped her arm through Victors and let him lead the way the door closing behind them as they stepped out onto the street. Victor was sure to take careful steps and avoided all the very slippery looking or wet areas of their path to the wedding site. Tatiana could feel her heart beating a thousand miles per hour in her chest. She swore it couldn't beat any faster but each step they took towards the wedding site only proved her wrong. That was until they rounded the corner and she spotted the wedding site for the first time. Her breath caught looking at it and then her heart stopped as her eyes fell on Jack.

Glancing down to Tatiana he smiled wider and gave her arm a gentle squeeze with his hand which was resting over it before he gave a look over the entire setup. Meghna had outdone herself with the preparations. In fact, everyone in Newnan would be personally thanked by Victor today for the hard work and effort they had put into this special day for Tatiana and Jack. His eyes then fell on the man himself and if the tears were not threatening before, they most definitely were now.

Giving Tatiana another small squeeze he looked to her and had to take a deep breath before saying the next words. "Feel like being sick yet?"

Tatiana looked over towards Victor rather surprised. That was not something he would have normally said, it was completely out of character. She just shook her head slowly and turned back to focus on Jack as she started to make her way down the isle. She didn't know what was up with Froggy, but if he was going to talk about "being sick" instead of walking her down the isle then she'd just keep walking and see if he kept up.

Slightly perplexed by the look that Tatiana gave him and the silence of her answer Victor began to walk her forward at the standard pace that was used when a young woman would walk down the aisle to the wedding march, he felt going too fast or too slow would ruin the mood of the advance towards her future husband.

Tatiana was very thankful that Victor was able to keep the right pace walking down the isle because she knew if he let go of her hand she would have just sprinted down the isle. So much of her just wanted to rush up there but she knew this was one in a life time things and needed to stay calm. Staying calm however was not an easy task and as they got to the end of the isle and she stood in front of Jack she couldn't help but let out a small nervous laugh. This was it.



Ryan O'Reliy


Location: The Wedding Site (Near 10 - Medical Garden)
Interacting With: Chloe



Ryan smirked as draped an arm over the back of Chloe's chair. "Oh I'm not taking that bet, right there with ya that Jack will be ballin' first. But hey... Two cigarette's that Tatiana doesn't wait for him to kiss her, that she pulls ones of her jump and throws and beats him to it," he said laughing to himself somewhat. He had witnessed enough times when people came back from a run, especially when James did, how that ballerina would run and nearly tackle people to welcome them back.

"Just glad I got it working, don't worry about the selection. Last few runs Guy has made he got as many CD's as he could find. He said he'd bring them over to the reception site after the wedding. So hopefully we should be good there," Beni said as he returned the hug and sat down waiting for the ceremony to start.

Hearing a few muttered whispers breaking out in the crowd Ryan turned around to see what the scuttle was about. Soon as he spotted Thana on Ash's arm he knew exactly what everyone was talking about. His eyes shifted from Thana, to Ash, to Chloe, and then over to Richard and Sana. Letting out a low whistle he righted himself and took a deep breath to keep from laughing his Irish Ass off.

"Oh things just got interesting," he said quietly to Chloe as Thana sat down next to Miss Sally. Hearing Ash put the radio call through he got comfortable. It wasn't long until Tatiana arrived with Froggy and he stood up like a good Catholic would during a wedding. Tatiana glancing over to him and mouthing thank you to him as she gripped the bouquet. He just nodded as she went by, feeling damn proud of himself. He was no florist but fuck man, he had to admit they looked nice. Once she was at the front he sat back down and grinned. This was going to be good, well maybe not the ceremony but the food at the reception would be worth a few minutes in the cold.



Thana Martin


Location: The Wedding Site (Near 10 - Medical Garden)
Interacting With: Miss Sally



"Oh good, it fit," Miss Sally said happily as Thana came and sat down beside her.

"Yes, thank ya ma'am. Between everything, it seems a bit much and over whelming but I thank you," Thana said as she rested her hands in her lap.

"Oh pish posh, was nothing," Miss Sally said with a wave of her hand. To her it wasn't really anything. They had collected so many dresses and suits over the last six months trying to give everyone a good amount of choice, having an extra one laying around that was the right size wasn't a problem.

Miss Sally actually felt bad though that Thana hadn't gotten the real welcome like so many others did. A simple welcoming and interview, a hot meal in their stomach, room assignments, etc. No, Thana had been told her sister was dead, put on display for most to see, got to witness Richards little tantrum, and now was being whispered about by people sitting within spitting distance. Each one Miss Sally shot ones of her watch it looks. Thana's "welcome" had been piss poor compared to most everyone elses.

Thana glanced over her shoulder, seeing Ryan smirking before her eyes fell on the bride. Standing, she helped Miss Sally to her feet, who was the first to break down in tears. Soon as the old woman laid eyes on Tatiana the waterworks came. Thana's eyes widened a bit, she hadn't expected Miss Sally to break down like that but granted she didn't know the woman. Lyon wrapped an arm around her and let her sob as Tatiana walked passed them with Froggy and then helping her sit back down once they were up at the alter. Thana taking her seat and watching, feeling her hand being squeezed by Miss Sally.



Gavin Comfort


Location: Five miles west of Newnan, abandoned cabin in the woods.
Interacting With: Ravi



"Aww man, I'm American! We don't think, we do!" Gavin said slapping Ravi on the back before he started gathering more things up to take along with them. Cocking his brow he spun around at the comment and placed his hands on his hips. "Hey, y'all ain't to good at naming shit either! Spotted dick? Seriously, who wants to eat a spotted dick man? No one e'ryone thanks y'all are all a little," he said before bending his wrist in the air and hopping around like Peter Pan.

Laughing his Texan ass off he flopped down in an arm chair and waited for Ravi to come back down stairs. Rubbing his face he thought about that poor girl upstairs and felt his hand balling up into a fist. No one deserved that, especially a woman. Gavin might have been a bit old fashion and back woods but he was a Gentleman when it came to women, his momma taught him right.

Looking over at Ravi as he came back down stairs he smirked a bit as he stood up. "Aww hell sweetie, ya gonna miss me when I'm gone?" he teased as he hoisted the packs up onto his shoulders and picked up his shot gun. Don't cha be worryin' about little ol' me. I got Bessy here, she and I gonna have some fun. First thangs first though, field trip time. Let's see where that noise came from," he added as he swung open the front door and took a deep breath.
