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."

Okay, for clarification - once Fantasy and Pundii post for their characters exiting their vehicles, then I will proceed in the next World Narrative for the Scooby Gang. The questions and such will have to be handled either 1 by 1 or in collab. While Sigil does not have the authority to move people around, the barracks are Reginald's domain as it were. I will be talking to Sigil about the details and get back to you all about the easiest way to do this.

Don't worry, if counters start getting pushed while we get through this part I will either reset or put for extensions so people aren't on the chopping block.

Edit: Again, that will happen after Fantasy and Pundii post - that way everyone is on the same page and no one gets too far ahead of another.

Can we get the new fundamental rules to the guild pinned so it isn't lost in the mix?
@NuttsnBolts Actually MASH in the later seasons dealt with the dark side to racism, sexism, and more. It played heavily in the development of not only Hotlips, but Winchester and even Hawkeye. So while yes, it was a comedy it dug into these "isisms" and showed a very dark side a lot of the time.
@ONL Will be interesting to see how it plays out, cause I don't know. Aziza would be horrified to see her name in notes. Peter, well, you can guess he isn't going to be happy.

Thing is, this is one of those things in Rp even I don't have control over. Since they are on the base now, it's Reginald who is in charge. I defer to Sigil on that. (Set up included him being charge of the base, so leaving that with him.) - Which I am honestly glad of. Let's me sit back and watch the show, lol
@Drache It happens. Now with a fantasy setting, those "isms" are up to the GM. Nothing saying they have to be there for "realities" sake but some like those things for various reasons.

Now, for me I do put a lot of "isims" in some of my Rps. My fantasy, modern day, or futuristic ones they really don't appear unless someone makes a character that is a racist or the like.

Now my Rps that are slice of life pre-1950's I put them in the setting heavily and a warning that goes along with it. I have one currently set in the 1920's Egypt & another in 1820's London; so hate against certain races, religion, poor treatment of women and so forth all play a part in the story because that is part of history. Seeing my rpers play characters that "buck" that system adds to the rp, but only if done well.

@ONL He wrote down Aziza's name.

Sorry, but he's just being an ass at this point to be taking notes after Aziza's break down. Putting her name in the notes? That's being a douche.
@ONL Haakon is trying to get killed.





"Maybe she get through to him vhere rest of us couldn't," Tatiana said as she pulled her chair up more and took a drink from a glass of water. She had been trying to get through to Ash, she was the towns counselor after all. Yet each time she broached the subject he told her he was fine. She doubted that but she wasn't going to press him, it would have only made things worse. She had no doubt that Ash had opened up to James. James was easy to talk to and the two were best friends as it were but still, talking to a best friend and talking to someone you connected with in other ways was a very different thing.

Miss Sally chuckled to herself as she set her cup of tea on the table. "Now, tell me James. Which of those rooms has a bed?" she asked with a rather coy smirk for a woman of her advanced years. Tatiana's eyes widened a bit at the thought, she had been in Ash's house before when the leads were having meetings. One such time she ended up chasing the orange tabby around trying to shoo him outside. From what she could tell there was only one bed in that house.

"And who said he'd be taking advantage of her? She's a grown woman. Seems rather sure of herself and to the point. If something does happen I seriously doubt Ash pulled the wool over her eyes," Lyon quipped before taking a large chunk of meat off the bone of a rib.

Looking over at Tatiana drinking her water Miss Sally cocked a brow. "Wouldn't you prefer to have some wine or champagne dearie? You were telling me you missed the stuff from time to time. No time better than the present," the older woman said as she reached for a bottle on the table and went to fill a glass for Tatiana. Tatiana shook her head and glanced down at her lap as her hand rested over her stomach. "Oh crumpet, is it true?" Tatiana could only giggle and nod. "That's bloody brilliant!!"

Froggy put the radio down and rubbed his chin. This was a first for him. Looking over at Ceil he sent out over the radio. "Medic, can you come back to the infirmary?" he radioed over the general one. It wasn't long before he got a call back confirming. Another radio went out to Jim asking him to join him at the front gate. Jim turned over the booze watching duties to another member of the security team before rushing out the door. After what went down with Bryn he had to wonder if Ash was kicking her out and sending her packing while everyone was distracted. Theft carried a heavy price in Newnan, for good reason.

Rushing out he met Froggy on the street and they headed down towards the front gate while Medic took care of things. Gavin just rocking back and forth on his heels as the gates opened. "Hey, in this weather at this hour, walls is walls. Don'tcha be worryin' none, I won't lets them make you a bitch. I protects my hetero life mate," Gavin joked as he gave Ravi a bit of an elbow.

"Bonjour! Weapons where we can see them and hand them over. You may have them back when you leave," Froggy said, he wasn't exactly sure how to do this but he had come into Newnan a while ago though under very different circumstances. Even though it was his first time he knew the basic drill. No weapons for new comers

"Shit, a'right, a'right," Gavin said as he started puling out weapons but keeping the ammo. Handing them over to Jim while the guns stayed trained on them.

"Welcome to Newnan. This normally goes very different but we are in the middle of a celebration. You will have a security detail on you until we are sure you aren't going to try anything. People in the town are armed and are trained. You would be wise not to try anything," he said trying to be intimidating but he wasn't Ash. Sighing he shook his head. "I am the resident Doctor and second in command of Newnan. You can call me Froggy, and you would be?"

"Well I'm Gavin Comfort, Texas Ranger and this strapping young Englishman is..." he said before glancing over at Ravi and smirking a bit.

Scooby Gang

Location: Grand Continental -> Barracks



Aziza nodded slightly at Harry's words. They were friends but she would be lying if she were to say that she did not find the man handsome and a comfort to be around. He had always been kind to her and this evening especially so. Thinking on it she could understand Peters misconception and he seemed to take it in stride.

"Of course," Peter said with a smile that easily told he figured there was something more but that he wasn't saying anything. Looking over to his uncle as the car pulled away from the hotel, followed by the taxi. "I am sure she is perfectly fine uncle. She seemed to have her wits about her, more than I can say for others I have met in my life," Peter commented in passing as his hand ran over the top of his cane.

There were things he wished to discuss with his uncle but it wasn't for the ears of everyone. Aziza felt the same way, she wanted to talk to Harry about why she had flipped out so badly but not in front of others. Thankfully the ride back to the barracks was not to terribly far. The car containing the Keystones and guest rolled passed the gate and into the main courtyard while the taxi stopped outside of the gate and the door was opened for Haakon and Josephine so that they could step out and be escorted passed the gate itself. The driver being paid in the process.

"Ahh, here we are. Shall we?" Peter said as the door opened and he stepped out, leaning on his cane somewhat and glancing around.


Elsewhere In The City



Vera looked over towards Lauren and a look of subtle shock came over her features. Follow her heart? That was a first, at least as far as pieces of advice had gone concerning becoming betrothed. If she had asked her extended family, the ton, so called friends; they all would have given her very different advice. He is a man of means, marry him. He is a man of title, marry him. You are a blue stocking with no other prospects, marry him. Following her heart would have never left the lips of any of them.

She wasn't even sure how to follow her heart, if she ever did decide to. Sure she had bucked against the norms of society by having an actual career and not being wed yet but allowing herself to feel romantically for someone and follow that? She wondered if she was even capable of such a monumental feat. All she could do is slowly lower her eyes and nod in semi understanding.

She smiled though a little Lauren said she would be out of place where Lauren came from. "I think I would enjoy the company of your family, that is if they are anything like you Ms. Ridgeway." Vera's voice was sincere. She was actually enjoying Laurens company, at least the parts of it she could remember. Thinking on it though, she figured it was best she didn't really remember what she had said to her before she passed out.

Neema watched and listened to Nora carefully, a slight and curt nod of her head following the words that the woman had uttered. "I am sure that you are confused and wondering what you just said," Neema said with a gentle understanding.

"What you said was.... My moment is in your bodies, all forms are my habitation. I am she who is not known, the rosey faced beings are with me. I am the Unveiled." It is part of the prayer to Bastet, one for her followers, her protectors. My dear child, it seems you have been chosen. Like a Medjai to a Pharaoh. You are a guardian for a God."

Neema leaned forward every so slightly, lacing her fingers together as she watched Nora. She doubted this news would be taken well by anyone of science. It was hard for her to believe but the stories had been passed down from parent to child in her people for thousands of years. Perhaps they were more than just stories.
