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."

Oh dear Lord.... where to start? Just go here... Lady A's Facades -each character has a theme song. Or check any of my rps, I require it as part of everyone's CS.
@FantasyChic - good to enter now, I gave a general description but am leaving a lot of it open so have fun with it. Harper is outside of the ship at the docks, Daphne is out and about in town looking around. If you have any questions or ideas, just drop me a pm.

"Yes, we need to talk," Anisa stated bluntly through clenched teeth. It was obvious she was trying to refrain from going all out ballistic at this point. The captain rarely tried to keep her cool, she was known for her fast talk and her outbursts. It was common on any ship she was in charge of. Her trying to reel it back was not and a bit disturbing to tell the truth. The fact she had even bothered to call someone to her office instead of just barging in wherever the person she was about to chew out was never happened. She just tore into them in front of god and everyone, hardly anyone was ever granted a private reaming away from peering eyes and loose lips.

Dorothy was different though, they were friends. More than that they were best friends. They had been through a lot together and even though when Dorothy had first been hired Anisa swore she would never fully trust her she had grown to. With her own life and that of her crew. It was the only reason she was trying to keep from just being full out "Anisa" right then. "Sit down." It wasn't a request, it was an order, plain and simple.

Once Dorothy had come into the room fully Anisa pushed off the desk and shut the door. Pacing slightly she tried to figure out how to say what she had to say without threatening to put Dorothy through an open air lock once they reached the black, that was her go to threat when anyone did anything she didn't agree with. Turning she looked over to her probably only friend still alive and breathing.

"You need to decide if you are going to continue to be second in command of this ship or if you are going to leave," she finally said locking eyes with Dorothy. "Daphne just left the ship, without word. Without permission. We have a shit ton of work to do and she just left. No one leaves without the Captains or the Second in Commands permission, ever. We have seen what happens when people do. Gene is the most recent example." Anisa's voice was shaky as she spoke, her knuckles white as she tried not to let off a slew of curses in both Chinese and English.

"You should have stopped her ad got her ass back on the ship. I don't care if she is your kid sister. She is 26 years old and needs to start acting like it. And you need to stop treating her like a sister and like an employee. You out rank her, she has to follow your orders, she had to get your permission. She cannot just waltz about like she can get away with anything. That is why she is no longer in control of the bridge and why I have placed Harper in charge of flight. I trust him to follow orders, I don't her."

Anisa took a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying to calm herself, she knew she was about to lose it. Swallowing down the anger she spoke again. "So, you have two choices. Both of you pack your bags or soon as she gets back you punish her. Reprimand her like Jackie would have." Saying Jackson's name out loud caused Anisa to choke up but she fought it. Turning away and taking a deep breath. "She might be your sister but you are second now. That means the ship and the entire crew comes first, beyond any thing else. Even personal ties."

Keeping her back to Dorothy she couldn't even look at her right then. She knew what she was ordering was a lot. Jackson had been the closest to her than anyone but she had had to put the ship first, the whole crew. Not just him. It wasn't easy but it had to be done. As soon as one person was placed over them all that was when things fell apart and it was about time Daphne started acting like an adult instead of a teenager with an attitude. "You have until the new ship is purchased to decide. Dismissed." Her last words barely croaked out but she managed. She didn't move, just standing there with her back to Dorothy. She would kick them off the ship if she had to. She didn't want to but if Daphne couldn't grow up and Dorothy couldn't stop coddling her, it was best they were not with them for the next leg of their journey. They would be safer that way.

Atticus in the meantime nearly burst out laughing at first and by the time Foy finished talking all bets were off. He was rolling with laughter and so much he had to sit down on a crate while he held his mid section and tears of joy came from his eyes. "You want me to make demands? For you? With the Captain? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Sweet baby Jesus, the devil himself wouldn't even try that shit. Jesus would tell you fuck off," he said between the guffaws. Oh it was the best thing he had heard in a decade. "I may have a lot of vices dear sir but I am no ignoramus. I'd rather walk buck naked slathered in honey right into a Reaver den, my chances of survival would be higher."

The preacher couldn't stop laughing, slipping from the crate and onto the ground, still chuckling and it hurt. He hadn't laughed this hard since he was a little girl. He knew Anisa would hire the man if he wanted it, that he would have lodging and a place to shave people. Asking for more room than the others? For treatment as it were, he knew wouldn't go over. "She'll give you the same space she gives the rest of us, that I can get you. You want more, you gotta ask her. I ain't serving myself up with a silver platter for her to put my head on. As far as Anisa is concerned, you are on the same rung as me and that is about ten steps below the rung she puts herself on and five below Dorothy."

Outside there was still no sign of the buyer but he wasn't due for another twenty to thirty minutes. Or at least he had that much time before Anisa would go find another. She didn't take people being late. She had told the man a certain time but in her mind she wanted him there actually an hour later. Why she had been standing outside. To see and judge the man by the time he showed up. Gave her a gauge of how much she could trust him.

Things in the city where they had landed were busy but calm at least. Various bars were open, shops, and the like. People mulling about, going this way and that. The weather was good for being out and about. Clear skies, cool air, calm winds. A nice change from Whitefall and other places like it. There were hotels that catered to high end and low alike. People were trading on the streets and in the shops, and behind them as well. The dock was full of people trying to get passage from one planet to another cheaper than the ship next to them. Most though were avoiding the Alliance Ship the Retribution. Not cause any of them knew it was stolen but because it was Alliance.

Zoies Farm: - "Sure thang," Zoie said as she leaned back against the door frame once Mali had taken the clothing. "I know it ain't be much but we can worries about style tomorrows," she said, smiling slightly. At Mali's declaration or more so question that she didn't speak much Zoie cocked a brow. That was a bit unexpected. Thinking on it though she really hadn't said much that evening, more so of delivering what information she felt was most needed and leaving the flavoring text to the wind.

"Guess nots, least not tonights. Usually yous can'ts shuts me up but todays... well been a day," she said with a bit of a sigh. "Brother usually be the quiet one and mes the talkative one," she said pushing off the door frame and walking back fully into the room. Walking over to the bed she sat down on the edge and looked over towards Mali. "You wantin' me to talks more? Or yous gots somethang on yer mind you wants to talk about? I be all ears or mouth, either ways. Just be figurin' you wants to be getting cleaned up and rested afters everythang. Don't knows what yous and Daniel's been up to but knowin' him he ain't been a quiet day."

Justice Memorial Hospital: - None of the Ubers that Riley checked seemed to be the one she was looking for. It wasn't until she got to the end of the Uber line that she made any progress. A hand waved from behind the wheel of a rather beat up Honda Accord. It didn't look like the type of vehicle one wanted to travel in. That was until the face of the driver came into light as a car passed it going the opposite direction. It was Det. Roy Gregory, looking a little worse for wear and rather adamant about Riley hurrying up over to him.

"Riley, get in," he called out from the rolled down window. It was about that time another driver who had a nice Toyota Avalon with an Uber sticker on his front windshield started to get out of his car.

"Miss? You called for an Uber?" he asked but Roy hit the gas on his own car and blocked the man. "Hey, watch it! I'm walkin' here!" the man yelled, his accent suddenly changing.

"Girl get in!" Roy yelled as he unlocked the back door on the driver side and flung the door open for her. Waiting for her to get in before he did anything else but it seemed the man Roy had cut off was not happy and that he was now reaching behind him, trying to get at his gun. He was effectively pinned against his car for now but how long that would last was anyone's guess.

Wyndham Manor, London




Abigail nodded towards the constable and escorted him out once he and Gerard were finished speaking, showing him the door and thanking him for coming out. The constable tipped his hat and made his way back towards the park to meet up with the other officers. He would need to file the report about the break in but he wanted to check in with them first. Abigail looked over towards Gerard, "I'll be straightenin'up the office." She wanted to get things back in order before Mrs. Wyndham returned, she knew the woman would have an absolute hissy fit if the place was in disorder when they returned. It wouldn't matter if there had been a break in. The woman's priorities were vastly out of order. Walking back to the office she got to work. Thankfully there was nothing broken in there, so it was just gathering papers and trying to stack them mostly. She felt bad for Millicent because she knew it would be up to her to reorder everything that was in disarray but she didn't know what went with what. She just would do what she could and try not to make more work for Milli when she returned.

The window wouldn't take Gerard too long to repair. The screws didn't seem to have worn out the wood and new ones would easily be replaced. It was odd, if it was just wear and tear the holes would have been stripped and need putty of some sort but these were fine. There was also no sign of the missing screws, they hadn't just fallen out. It seemed that they were missing. Had someone actually unscrewed them from the inside and taken them? If so, who? No one had been in the house that others were aware of and if that was indeed the case it meant that someone in the house had set up the opening for the break in. But who? Everyone seemed very devoted to the family, especially so to Miss Milli. Why put her in danger? What if she had been home when the break in occurred?

Abigail sighed as she went about cleaning up the study, wishing that Mr. Wyndham was there. If there were papers missing, he would know and Millicent wouldn't have to worry. He would take care of it. Picking up a pillow from the couch that was on the floor she hit it hard a few times, fluffing it up before setting it back in place. As she did, she looked out the window and gasped. A Carriage she was not familiar with had pulled up to the curb in front of the house and she saw Millicent exiting it weakly. Rushing from the office and out int the hallway she flung open the door. "Mr. Connolly! It's Miss Milli! She be hurt!" she screamed as she ran out the door and her eyes fell onto the blood that was covering her mistress.

Lord Rutherford held Millicents hand as she stepped out of the carriage. "Remember, this is on him and you. Don't make matters worse," he hissed in her ear. Millicent looked as pale as a ghost, resembling more of a brunette version of Virginia right then than the light olive complexion she normally had. Blood clung to her arms from the cuts, the bruise on her cheek fully revealed and another one seemed to overlay on top of it now. Trembling Millicent tried to take a step before nearly collapsing into Abigail's arms as she rushed over.

"Miss Milli! What happened?" Abigail asked in a panic as she tried to steady Millicent but it was difficult. Abigail wasn't much larger than bird and far smaller than even Millicent's frame.

"There was a Soulless attack at Almack's." Rutherford's voice cutting the silence and Abigail's widened. "Jane didn't survive, Mrs. Wyndham is being taken to Westminster Hospital, tend to my fiance. Word will be sent as soon I know more," he said. Abigail took a stuttering breath and nodded, turning her attention to Milli. Fiance? Abigail thought quickly in a sorrowful mindset. She did not like the idea, she had heard much on the servants grape vine.

Rutherford did not say more before the door of the carriage closed and it drove off quickly. As soon as it started off Millicent broke down in tears, her knees giving out from beneath her as she clung to Abigail in sobbing and shaking like a leaf. "Aww Miss Milli, I be so sorry," she said trying to comfort her. "Let's be gettin' you inside," Abigail added, trying her damnedest to get Milli back to her feet and help her inside but it was of no use.

"I can't..." Millicent cried in hysterics. The tears streamed down her cheeks like flood waters and her body shook, cold and terrified even from the wild look in her eyes. Blood clinging to her skin and into her gown, her thigh and more were feeling ripped apart. Everything inside her felt destroyed right then.


Port Annan, Scotland - Teriny Inn



"Ye be right Miss, Lord might have been able to create heaven and earth but keepin' that lad on his two left feet might be beyond's even the Lord Almighty," Nigel chuckled as he looked over towards Calum. Who was at this point wrestling with his coat, whose tails had flipped over and gotten into his face as he flailed on the ground. It was like watching headless chicken trying to fight it ways out a burlap sack.

"Oh fiddlesticks!" Calum exclaimed as he got to his feet and fought back the mighty tyrants of his coat tails. Swinging his arms around like a broken down windmill caught in the storm. Once he had finally defeated the evil overgarment Nigel held out the man's hat to him and chewed on the inside of his cheek to keep from roaring with laughter at the sight. "Right, thank you," Calum said as he took the hat and plopped it onto his head. "I, well, yes. Goodnight to you both," he said before turning away and starting to make his way back towards the office where he would be sleeping that evening. Nearly taking out three more tables along the way.

"It is never dull when that boy is in here. You know I usually be keeping candles on all them tables but soons as I heard he was in town, I swept those away right quick. I can takes a few broken chairs, buts last things I be needin' is him burnin' the place down," Nigel guffawed as he stepped out from behind the bar and picked up said broken chair which had been reduced to fire wood. Shaking his head he kept chuckling as he looked over toward Maeve and heard a crash in his office. "Lord give me strength, excuse me Miss. Have a good night, if ye be neein' anything, just pull the cord bys yer bed and one of the girls be up to yous post haste," he added before rushing off to see what destruction the parson was causing this time.
Gonna post an update today for the Farm and Riley's Uber - will update hospital and asylum in my next WN
@The Grey Dust On day 6, again. Gonna start breaking out the iron fist if you keep riding the counter. >.>
@Sigil @Morose @mnkee @Sputnik @rivaan - Alright, I am going to try to get a post in today for the RP to update both Wyndham Manor and Scotland - I will not be updating Almack's in my post. (I will update that in the next.) Hoping that will give some time for Mnkee to post in the next couple of days, for Riv to finish his CS so I can introduce his character, and Sigil time to get an introduction done for Vlad.
@Morose @Rivaan @Sigil @FantasyChic @Caits @Nallore @TechnoWizROK @ONL - Quick note, due to a busy work schedule and such this week I may not get the time jump update done by the end of mine or Sigil's counter (whom I am collabing some parts with) - So since it is day 4 on both our counters I am here by informing the group of an extension that I am placing on both Sigil and myself so we can get this done correctly without having to "skimp" on it. Should only be a day or two at most, if even that, but better to be safe than sorry.

Do not worry if your personal counter is going up - I am freezing the entire groups counter until my next WN goes up and it will be reset then. Don't want to push anyone to have to rush at the last second to try to get a post in because you all are waiting on me.
