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."

World Narrative



@ONL - Over along the line of houses the sound grew and there was a splashing sound that seemed to echo slightly. Water was dripping off the eves of the houses and onto the ground but that sound was a lot different than the other. They were obviously two different ones. Very different. It wasn't until one looked passed the third house and towards what would have been the back yard that the sound really started to grow.

In the back just above the melting snow line seemed to be a ring of worn out stones. Once one got closer they would be able to see even more. It was a well. Long out of use and the snow piled up around it was probably close to four feet deep but due to the drift it was almost level with the top of the snow. Inside one could hear the gurgling sound. It was a walker alright. Half frozen, half defrosted. It's mouth trying to gnaw and nip at the ice it was wedged in at the jawline. It was a sad sight, more like pathetic but at least it wasn't close enough to the top of the well to get out. The well went down probably twenty feet or more, the water and ice bringing it up to around ten but that was still ten feet from the top edge of the stones.



Gavin Comfort


Location: The Mess Hall (Building 2)



Gavin laughed to himself as he wandered into the Mess Hall and looked around for where he left his pack. The thought of finding someone with a better beard than Ravi's tickled him. Hell if he did find someone he would do everything he could to keep that bastard alive just to bring him back here and show him off to Ravi like some prized buck on the wall. It would be worth the trouble to see the mans jaw drop in awe. He wished he could have shown Ravi some of the mustacharies back in Texas before the outbreak. Especially the House of Coiffeur!!! He knew Ravi would have had a field day in there getting his beard tended to, waxed, and munching on their prized Wild West Style Wrapped Candies! Those things were heaven! Though Gavin had to admit he never got into the sugared butter shavings.

Finding his pack he picked it up and slung it over his shoulder before grabbing the tray he had left there and finishing it off quickly and busing it. His guard came up to him and asked him if he was ready to sit down. To which he got a resounding no. He wanted to find James. His guard didn't like the idea of trekking all over Newnan to find James, so he put out a radio call on the general frequency of Newnan. "Need James location," he said.

"We are at Agriculture," James escort radioed back. Gavins guard grumbled under his breath and hooked his radio back to his belt. "Can I at least grab a cup of grits to drink?" he asked quickly. Gavin chuckled and nodded. Might as well eat and run, it was best.

Miss Sally looked over towards Ravi and slipped her arm through his. "This way. Tea and hobnobs await!" she said as she started to walk back towards her building. It wasn't too far and they were there quickly. With the snow melting it was getting easier within the city to move around. They had shoveled the streets and sidewalks, so it had little to melt at this point. The piles of snow heaped up everywhere in between was another story.

"Come on in," she said as she opened the door to her apartment. "I'll put the kettle on while you tell me more about this bloke Gavin and where he is going. Wonder why he would find his love only to leave again so suddenly, must be a right brilliant story."



Tatiana Korvo


Location: Infirmary (Building 1)



Froggy pushed the swinging door open that lead back into the towns make shift OR, pulling off a pair of gloves that had some blood on them. "We are here," he said pushing the door open a little bit more and revealing Tatiana sitting up on the bed with her foot propped up on a pillow. It was cleaned up now and wrapped.

"Niesha, could you fix up a small bottle of the herbal astringent from our stock? Something little bird can take home with her and some extra guaze?" Froggy asked her as he tossed his gloves into the trash. "Go ahead, check on your wife. She is good now, stay off foot as much as possible until I take stitches out," he said to Jack and Tatiana held her hands up in defeat a bit. She knew as soon as Jack was told she was to stay off her feet she wouldn't be walking anywhere.

"Hey Nies! Nothing bad, just stepped on broken cup. Got startled vith shot, dropped cup. Silly me," she giggled. Then Tatiana's eyes got wide as she had an idea. "Froggy! Can you teach Nies to be my midvife?" she asked and then giggled again as she set her hand on her belly. She hadn't told many people yet she was pregnant and she didn't know if Niesha had found out yet but she liked the idea of having a woman around when she was giving birth.

She loved Froggy, like a father, and trusted him but she really liked Niesha and figured this would be a good chance for her to get some more training. Niesha looked like she could use a distraction anyways, Tatiana knew she could herself. She knew she would have to talk to James before he left and then try to get everyone onto her couch eventually for a talk.

Smiling over at Jack she held her hand out to him. "Did you eat yet?" she asked, worried about their breakfast going to waste.
@Morose I swear, Cecily and Roy are the cutest platonic ship ever LOL




Date: Sunday May 21th, 2017




Justice Asylum: - Over at the Asylum things were wrapping up and calming down, as best as it could. SWAT took the statements and cards, giving out theirs in return in case they thought of anything else. The forensics team was called over by SWAT to get finger prints of where the woman had jumped out of the window and down in the alleyway, as well as to see if they could get anything else.

"No, thank you," the SWAT team leader would say to anyone who asked if there was anything else they could do, he would thank them for their time, and that would be that.

The surveillance room was going to be a B U S T. The camera's were working but nothing had been recorded for the last forty-eight hours. They couldn't figure it out but then again this wasn't a high tech facility with hackers under their employ. This was a state run psyc ward and these were minimal wage rent a cops. The video was mostly there to use to press charges against patients that got out of hand or to use against the staff if they did anything wrong. Break outs happened but nothing like this and break-ins? Well that never happened.

Zoies Farm: - Zoie nodded a bit as she set her glass down on the table and went to retrieve another one. Filling it up with water she sat it down in front of Mali before taking a seat herself. "Yeah, it's become a bit of an obsession of mine as of late," she admitted as she ruffled her hair a bit in the back. The look on her face didn't seem the expression to denote she enjoyed it being an obsession, but more of a look of a former heroine addict putting up with another NA meeting. Drained, washed out, and wishing she didn't have to be there.

"Workin's with Juno, they be really into this whole mythology thang. Rome, Greece, so forth. I heards a lot from them in bits and pieces. I started lookin's into those, see maybe there was some tie with it alls, especially after a call I overheards. But I kind of gots side tracked," she said picking up her own glass and taking a swing from it. Letting out a sigh she sat it down and ran her finger over the rim of the glass. "Everything was always about Greece or Rome. Then by chance I seen on my bosses screen at work somethang about Egypt. Figured I would focus on that, maybes gets ahead of them. I onlies got lost."

Safehouse - "Hope your right, don't want anymore dead bodies," he said as continued to patch himself up as best he could. Grunting from time to time. While Riley made her call he leaned back and tried to get finished up with that. Her other phone ringing and getting messages was not good. "Gotta kill that one, fast," he said quietly while she was on the phone.

"Yeah, I met her at the crime scene by chance, her and that Mexican guy who lives in the same set of buildings. She is fine. But we gotta a problem Riley. Cynthia got transferred out here for some reason and was abducted. In the car now, trying to get a location on her," he said grumbling a bit under his breath as he continued to drive through Justice. "Right, the guns. Well I think Cecily is safe with that Federale and his brickshithouse of a companion. Anyone else we should look out for?" he asked her.

Roy picked up his phone as the ringer went off and checked his messages. Sending one back to Cecily real fast. ~I hate yellow spandex~

Justice Memorial - The surgery kept trucking on and Natasha had been forced to take a seat on a stool at the table, giving the anesthesiologist a break while she took over for him. She was glad to sit down. Each minute that ticked by she could feel the fatigue taking over. She shouldn't have put herself in this position with still being in recovery from Chemo and Radiation. It had taken a toll on her. She knew Lincoln was going to be rather upset with her when she finally got home and ended up having to head straight back out to catch a flight to Mexico. Then again, if this surgery kept up much longer she might just have to go from the hospital straight to the airport. Lincoln might actually hunt her down in Mexico if it came to that.

Keeping an eye on Felix's vitals she kept him under as the lead surgeon continued to work. This part of the operation was delicate and while he wasn't setting any land speed records for eye socket repair, it was going as smooth as Natasha could hope at this point. Nothing else had gone wrong and it still looked as if they would be able to save the socket. There was still time to go though and recovery would play a big part in it. She just crossed her fingers that even if luck wasn't in their favor it wasn't against them at the moment.
@Ashevelendar And others will think you are just backpedaling. ~shrugs~ There is no reason to present a deception or lie to get people to answer. That's just presenting a falsehood and there is no need for it, no matter your "reasoning" - it creates a air of distrust and others will take it into account in the future if you should choose to try to join one of their RP's or they see you posting an interest check to be a GM. Stay up front and honest with people. It is far simpler that way.

I stand by what I said - If you are going to RP - you must read ALL posts BEFORE you post.
I want to state that I don't do that. I like reading whatever other people wrote 'cause it's fun, it makes me become a better writer/reader etc. The discussion is purely hypothetical, for me at least.


That is interesting considering what you said earlier -

I for one say that it's not a must. I personally read all the IC posts after some time, that is, of course when I'm not GMing that RP.


It wasn't presented as a hypothetical. It was presented that while you do read the posts but after a period of time and not necessarily before you post. Which is still part of the initial question, "is it a MUST to read all posts?"

So I am going to amend what I said - Yes, you MUST read ALL posts BEFORE you post - afterwards is just as bad as not reading at all. Nearly as bad as backpedaling instead of owning up.

@FantasyChic Actually yes, he would have. This was asked of me outside of OOC, to which I went and double checked what was posted for both of them. Josephine stepped over to Haakon who only took a "fair step away" and "stood out of the way" - while Josephine had in her post she spoke quietly (for part of it at least), Haakon had no mention of keeping his voice down. This is a room where few were in, Vera passed out, and all eyes are on her - so it is quiet. Them being only a few feet away would have made it more than easy to hear the conversation. (Even if they had gotten to the other end of the room, they were not far away and their guards are present near them at all times.)

So yeah, The Lord Major and everyone else there half way paying attention will hear them. They did nothing to ensure no one did hear them. (Now, why they are blatantly going against what they signed the night before is a whole different matter.)
@rivaan Yeah, that is fine.
>Me dealing with lawyers, meetings, paper work, and just wishing the court date would get here so this is all over and done with!!
@Ashevelendar The character shouldn't know why but the character should know that they are wearing the chicken. As far as where each character is in the RP, that is not the Gm's thing to post. That is the Rpers. That is what their post is there for. To tell where they are, what they are doing, and so forth.

It is up to the Rper to draw the line between what their character sees and actually knows. That is part of being a good Rper. There is a great difference between what you (the rper) knows and what your character knows. You need to draw that line. A very thick line, with stone and a concrete wall on top of it, with barbed wire on the top, and quick drying cement underneath it. No going over, around, or under it.

As a Gm I have know exactly what every character is doing at all times but I have to draw a line between what all I know personally and what my characters in the RP know. Even though I am the all powerful GM, it doesn't give me a free card to metagame as I see fit to make my characters know everything as well. That's just poor Gming.
