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

⚘ 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."

@Lucius Cypher You are on day 7, and holding up @Dragoknighte who is on day 6

@Sigil On day 6
@Pundii You are on day 6, AGAIN. Please get a post in, running the counter is pushing the rest of people's counters up waiting. (If have time to submit CS's for other rps, you should not be riding counters here or elsewhere.)
@Morose On day 7 for your secondary character, remember you have to post for before counter reaches day 8.
All I have got to say is that these rolls are nail biting!!! This is gonna be some good action when everyone gets to see what the others are up to!
Okay, seems to be a bit of confusion when it comes to what to send me. So gonna give everyone an example from what Mnkee sent me for the first round to show how this works....

Thalken, on the other hand, is close enough that he would hear the commotion with Millicent and react. I figure since he already has a throwing knife in his hand his first course of action would be to throw that knife at the Ryne, before unsheathing his sword. So, can my first roll be to figure out if his knife throw hits the Ryne or not and whatever chain of events that causes?
Mnkee


Okay, that was what Mnkee sent me for round one. Now the sword couldn't be drawn because that would be a second action but I made rolls for the first.... So here were the results....

Yeah, I have it in the IC that he walks out to the balcony just as the Ryne screams.

Alright, action declared... ~smirks considering Ryne is wrestling with Millicent right now~ Oh this should be interesting...
(1 equal auto death or fail, 20 equal perfect outcome sent by god)
The rolls -

Roll to see if he is fast enough once he steps out there to throw - (15) He is
Roll to see if people running away stumble into him as he throws - He manages to avoid them (12)
Roll to see how steady the knife throw is - It is pretty good throw (16)
Roll to see if he hits anyone running between the Ryne and himself - He's good, knife continues on path, managing not to hit the numerous people running around frantically (17)
Roll to see if it hits the Ryne or in the tussle, hits Millicent - It hits Millicent and completely avoids Catherine! (3)
Roll to see where it hits Millicent - Thankfully it just catches her in the soft flesh of her thigh, it goes in but falls out in the struggle without cutting a major artery (17)
Roll to see if Catherine turns her attack on Thalken or keeps with Millicent - (1-10 Thalken, 11-20 Milli) - She stops and turns, baring her teeth at Thalken (8)

Now to see what happens with Catherine -

Roll to see how close Catherine can get to Thalken once the knife hits Millicent - Not very far, Millicent manages to drive the sword further into Catherines chest but it only her upper chest near the shoulder. Catherine falls back as the blade comes with her and out of Millicents hands. (2)

End round~

So, that is how it works. You give me a single action and I make the rolls. Getting through a crowd would a roll, drawing a weapon is an action, using a single skill against a single opponent is an action. All require multiple rolls to see not only if it succeeds but how and the consequences, as well as the reactions from those around you.

Now Thalken was the only character close enough with a weapon ready to start a fight - So everyone needs to be pming me that single action to start getting into position. The rolls will determine if you even get a single step forward. Take this into consideration. Remember 1 action. (ANd actions are short, think what you can do in 1 second to start, the rolls determine just how far things go.)

Justice Asylum: - Marc didn't know what to think when Jaina said she needed help. His first thought was she really needed help but he wondered if there was more to it than that. The police were arriving as well as the Forensics team. Holstering his side arm he pulled out his phone and took a look as a text message came in. Shaking his head he pocketed it before walking over to Jaina and hoisting her up in his arms.

Carrying her out of the room and away from the dead body and bloodied scene he glanced around. Cynthia was still dancing around and now singing that she had a lovely bunch of coconuts as she followed the doctor. Marc sighed, Cynthia being Cynthia. Stepping over to the Doctor with Jaina in his arms. "Where can I put her?" he asked as his eyes darted about. He wasn't exactly sure what Riley was getting at with the message but something was not sitting right in the pit of his stomach. Right then it was better to keep an eye out.

Cynthia giggled and walked over, placing a kiss on Jaina's brow before heading into the room the doctor wanted her in. "I get strawberry now?" she asked like a child who had just cleaned their room and was waiting for their allowance.

Zoies Farm: - Zoie sat down on the couch and watched the news while Relic went and grabbed his plate before joining her. Shoveling the food in his mouth as Zoie's fingers drummed on the arm of the couch.

Looking over as Mali returned Zoie rose from her place. "Y'all should finish eatin', thinks it would be best if y'all crashed here tonight. Be safer than goin' back to the city," Zoie said which caused Relic to look over to her.

"You sure?" he asked chewing on the piece of chicken he had just tore into.

"Yeah, I'ms sure. You knows where yer room is. I'll fix up the spare room for you," she said as she looked over towards Mali, giving her the once over. "I don'ts have anythang of mine yous could wear but I do have some stuff of an ex, gym stuff. Its clean, should fit ya," she offered as she rubbed her palms down the length of her thighs. "That is if yous will stay. If not, I can drives you back to the city."
@Sigil @Morose @Nallore @Scallop

Okay, I am getting ready to post - I have pmed both you pairs for information needed. (Your counters are now reset to work out details with your ~partner~ and get your posts together.)







Atticus was not sure what to think about what Foy was saying. It wasn't that he didn't understand it but it gave him something to ponder. Adjusting his coat he simply nodded. "Well, let's be on our way then. Lead the way good man, you know the ship better than I do," he said and motioned towards the door. He would follow Foy whichever direction he went, it was simpler that way than to just wander about. Granted he had been on ships like this before and the Alliance was a lot of things, inefficient wasn't one of them. So most ships were of similar design and there for similar layout. He knew he could figure it out without much issue but why bother when you had a guide at your side?

Anisa rolled her eyes, this was not what she needed right then. A drunken doctor. Though she figured it couldn't be helped. People were in mourning and they were on silence to keep the Reavers from knowing their position. All they could do was hold tight right then, and the longer the wait the worse it made things.

"Hardly, ~hiccup~ my good woman. ~hiccup~ Certain things you cannot lose to the black out of the mind. ~hiccup~ One of those is the pain in the heart. ~hiccup~" Jahoafat's speech was slurred but he wasn't completely gone. At least not yet.

Looking over towards Harper, Anisa coked a brow. "She is good, just naive and young. Patience isn't one of her virtues." Rubbing her hands through her hair, she pushed it back out of her face. Daphne was a cracker jack pilot but she was like a moody teen. She got bored easy, didn't take to authority well, thought she knew better than anyone else. It just came with being young, something the Captain hoped she would grow out of. She had done well on the Vengeance but the fact that Harper was already in the galley with them and done instructing her did make Anisa worry if Daphne was pulling one of her I got this moments when in fact she didn't.

"Okay, lets just get a little food into everyone's stomach and everyone not on shift I want in their bunk in twenty getting sleep. Harper, once we make our next port, then we can talk. Right now, we are just going to get this day over with." Anisa's voice was frank but it was obvious she was getting irked again, especially considering the fact her fingers were drumming over the holster of her side arm.

"Dorothy, do me a favor. Once you eat, take something to Gene and then your sister. Make sure she's, well you know," Anisa said giving Dorothy a tell all look. "Make sure she doesn't pull some stupid stunt," was more what the look and the intonation of her words meant than what she had actually said.

"Crackers? Oh my..." Jahosafat said, feeling that tell all bubbling in the pit of his stomach. "Do excuse me Ladies... Gentleman," he said before taking a stumbling bolt for the door as he covered his mouth.
@Oliver has reached day 8 of his counter and has been hence forth removed from the RP.
@Caits Damn girl, sorry to hear about that. Hope things smooth out soon. (And my condolences on your pet, never an easy thing. Dad should have told you, it just makes it worse to find out later.)
