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."

Barracks: The representative from the prison looked over to the Lord Major and shook his head a bit. "I am sorry sir but that is not within our..." he started, searching for the words in English. "How do you say? Cooperation? They will be taken in the vehicle that I brought for them, and escorted to the prison in such under our guards," he said rather matter-of-factly. While he was extending a courtesy to the Lord Major and the crown to come in and ask to speak with the Lord Major first, it was well within his power and within the law of the land to just take them in cuffs without warning or word and haul them off. Letting them travel back to the prison in British vehicles was beyond anything he was willing to do.

"Now, let us be off. Whatever legal man you are sending, as well as any soldiers can come in a separate vehicle," he added before turning and motioning that they were on their way.

Aziza perked a brow slightly but looked away and over to Harry. She wasn't sure what to think of the situation but Egypt was no longer under British rule right then and many Egyptians did not take kindly to British troops still being in the city of Cairo. With Haakon and Josephine being escorted out, Aziza was not sure what to do with herself right then. She wanted to ask what was going on with the confiscated papers but she felt it was probably best not to ask right then.

Her mind went back to her son, the attack on her the night before, among other things. She was worried and unsure what she should do next. She had nothing to change into. Lauren was off with Lady Munn. Josephine was being escorted towards the front gate to go to the prison. All of this had made her lose her appetite. Picking up her plate she took it over to where she spotted a pile of other discarded plates and sat it down before brushing her hair out of her face.

Gathering a few folds of her skirt she made her way outside of the Officers area and out into the back courtyard. Making her way over the trees and beneath the shade she placed her hands on the stone wall and looked out over the Nile. Forcing her mind to the necklace and the mystery surrounding it. It was odd to want to focus on such an unknown thing but it was less emotional to her than everything else going on. Why had her and Harry's jewelry had marks appear? Why was he in her dreams? Her lips thinned as she thought back to stories she had been told by her mother when she was younger but they were all stories were they not? Just something to help a child sleep.


Lola Holler


Location: North Of Newnan (Veterans Memorial Park - Corner of Temple Ave. & Jackson St.)



"No problem there mate, waste of fucking bullets if ya friendly," Lola said as she flopped down in her recliner and spun around with her gun resting in her lap. Spinning around to face him she tilted her head to the side a bit. "Hell fuck yeah it's mine. This be my baby! No going no damn where without him," she said reaching over and patting the over decorated tank a bit as if she was patting a dog. It was no secret Lola loved her tank, to her it was the best companion she could have. Protected her, gave her a place to sleep, a way to get around, and never strayed! Fuck yeah, better than any man she had ever run across.

Glancing over out of the corner of her eye as Thalia made herself known she burst out laughing. The girl had a way of making herself known that was for sure. Granted Lola figured she could have gone for a much more dramatic entrance but the woman was a tad reserved in Lola's eyes. (Then again, Ru Paul was understated in her eyes as well.) "Oh leave the old coot alone. I don't thinks we gotta be worrying about damn brigade of geriatrics marching on us in the snow," she sniggered as she stood back up and pointed over to the side of the tank.

"Alright Gramps, up this way and come over by me grill. Warms up a bit. Lets see if we can thaw yas out and get some coffee in ya," she said as she picked up her MRE pack and started rummaging through it. "Not sharing my cocoa though, a womans mini marshmallows are damned right sacred!" she spouted off, not even paying attention at this point. "Times have changed and we've often rewound the clock. Since the Puritans got a shock when they landed on Plymouth Rock. If today any shock they should try to stem, 'stead of landing on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock would land on them. In olden days, a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking. But now, God knows, anything goes," she sang, blurting out into random Cole Porter song as her feet tapped away.



Gavin Comfort


Location: Outer Gate



Gavin dropped his gear by the front gate and leaned back against the wall, one foot propped up underneath him as he crossed his arms over his chest. His duster brushing against the snow at his feet as his cowboy hat blocked the sunlight from his eyes. Looking about he waved slightly at Ravi as he spotted him with Miss Sally. Seemed he was coming by to say his goodbyes, or at least escorting Miss Sally to say goodbye to James. Either way, it was nice to see him again before he set out. Ravi was like a brother to him, closest thing he had to one.

He was glad they had found some place for him to stay while he tried to deal with Peachtree City, or Eden as James called it. It wasn't that he wouldn't have liked to keep Ravi close by but he knew the mans outlook on killing people and didn't want him to become a casualty. He was half surprised that they both were still kicking right then, there were plenty of times that Gavin's way of jumping into things half cocked could have easily gotten them killed. It hadn't and this time Gavin had a feeling in his gut he wasn't coming back. Least with Ravi here he knew there was one person he could trust to be there for Strawberry Wine.

Resting his head back on the wall he let out a long breath as he thought back to Thana, smiling to himself thinking about running into her at that run down bar. Sitting there in a pair of jeans and white button down shirt. He had walked in with his boys from the Rangers and stopped in his tracks when he saw her. He had brushed off his buds to walk right over to her, introduced himself, and asked her to dance. She had just looked at him, a slight smile on her lips, and said No. That of course didn't stop him, one look at her eyes and he was hooked. He pestered her all night and still didn't get that dance. When she left the bar he tried again just to get her name. "Lt. Commander Martin," she had said brushing passed him and leaving him there. He had never been happier than he was the next day to find her among the relief workers the next day helping out. Took another three weeks of trying but he eventually got that dance... Strawberry Wine.

Miss Sally nodded slightly towards Gavin as she spotted the wave. "Maybe one day you will, for now, go on and say your goodbyes," she said before spotting Thana coming up with Ash by her side. "Before he lays his eyes on her again," she teased. Shaking her head she let go Ravi's arm and thanked him for walking her out there. Turning and looking over at Ash, giving him a slight nod before she started looking for James.



Thana Martin


Location: Inner Gate -> Outer Gate



"He is a survivor Captain," Thana commented before Ash made his radio call out to the people of Newnan. Shoving her hands into her pockets she kept walking towards the Outer Gate. Hopefully thing would go smoothly and this would be over and done with quickly. The longer it took to say goodbye, the higher chance of something going wrong. She doubted anyone in the town, especially Ash, needed the added stress of something going even worse off than it already had.

Spotting Miss Sally giving a slight nod in their direction she figured it was for Ash. She didn't know the woman. Her eyes darted around from person to person that had or was still making their way over to the gate. Seemed like a crowd was growing and at first she didn't see Gavin, half figuring whatever he was doing or going had already put him on the other side of the gate. Yet then she spotted his cowboy hat. He was taller than probably everyone in town by a good few inches, most in town by a good half a foot, so he stood out. The hat and duster didn't help.

She grunted inwardly. Hopefully he wouldn't cause another scene. Not that he had meant to earlier but Gavin was all about saying exactly what was on his mind and/or heart when he spoke. That was the last thing she needed right then, especially after what went down between her and Ash just a few minutes before. Thana wasn't one to let on how she felt about people in public, at least not outwardly with showing affection or announcing intentions but damn it, if Gavin started in again she knew she would have to say something and that was the last thing she wanted to do right then. Not that she cared if anyone knew that her and Ash were now together but to announce it as James was leaving after only knowing each other a day just to get Gavin to back off... That wasn't how she wanted to go about it. Shit, if Gavin found out he might stay and try to court her again... Fucking hell...



Tatiana Korvo


Location: Outer Gate



Tatiana smiled over at Jack and nodded. "Dat is good name, you tell him. James for a boy, Jamie for girl," she said with a bright smile as she leaned in and kissed him softly. Reaching up she rested her hand on his cheek and just gazed at her husband for a minute. He always seemed to know exactly what to say to make her feel better about things, even if it was totally off topic. He just made everything better to her.

Glancing around she took note of who all was showing up and who wasn't. Seemed most were headed out there, some remaining behind she figured needed to take care of things to keep the town running. There wasn't exactly a procedure for how they said goodbye to someone getting exiled. This was a first. Hopefully it would be the last.

Waving slightly as she spotted Froggy and Niesha coming up to the crowd she smiled to them. Seem Niesha had a pack. It didn't look large enough to be her personal things. Must had been something she had put together for James before he left. Froggy waved back and nudged Niesha slightly. "You are welcome. Now, soon as James arrives over here, we can say our goodbyes," he said as he let out a breath and pulled out a worn card box. He enjoyed playing cards when he was talking to people, usually GoFish. Had spent many a night asking if anyone had any sixes. It was his little something to say goodbye with.



Ryan O'Reily


Location: Armory (Building 6) -> Outer Gate



"Yeah, with us two, he's screwed," Ryan laughed as he climbed in after Beatrice and closed the door. Jim rolled his eyes a bit as he started up the truck and headed out. Driving the truck towards the front gate and then the outer gate. Being careful to avoid anyone that was walking to the outer gate to say goodbye to James.

"I don't think he does but Bossman knows you two are leaving. Guess we will surprise him when we get there," Jim said in passing and gave Ash a nod as they came up to the gate. Turning off the engine, having parked the truck at the gate he climbed out and handed the keys over to Ash. "It's all packed up Boss, and they have their things as well," he said motioning over towards Beatrice and Ryan.

Ryan climbed out of the truck and looked around. Stepping over to Ash, Irish smirked a bit "Looks like yer finally rid of me," he chuckled before leaning against the truck and looking over the crowd. Then he spotted Chloe and sighed. "God-damnit," he muttered under his breath. He had thought about her making her way to the gate to say goodby to James but of course she would. Everyone, well nearly everyone, was there to say goodbye.
@mnkee Understandable. I will put you on what is known as extended extension until August 12th. This basically means you are not on a counter but are not on hiatus from the RP. Just make sure to read to keep up, and post when you can. Since this round is closing out day, and the next round (at least if not more) will be starting new day your characters won't be interacting anyways with others. So that should make things simpler. (And take up the next 2 weeks of extension time at least) - Good time to be on extension ^_~ - After August 12th, you will be back on normal counters. (If you require longer than that, let me know and we can look at either an additional week or placing you on hiatus from that point.)
@Dark Light I think that was the fastest post ever after I gave someone a reminder on their counter LOL
@Dark Light Day 7 on your counter - if the counter reaches 8 before you post, it means removal from the Rp.
To put it bluntly - I don't tolerate it. Rule one of any of my Rp's is Gm is God and Gm has final say in all matters. I will explain once. If that doesn't do it, I will clarify once and place a ~this is the end of the conversation~ note. If it continues, they are removed and I have the mods delete any problem posts if needed. Keeps it short, simple, and to the point. Rather kick one quickly and keep things moving than have the problem spread through out the rp and risk killing it.

Thankfully I have only had to kick one for such on this forum. I have had people leave an RP or ghost it after that ~shrugs~ But that happens in any RP. I have had issues before but my explain/clarify/done trifecta usually does it and we move on.
@ONL Okay, thinking we might wait a bit then - once the group starts getting ready for the expedition. Have an idea on how to bring him in, would be soon but not in the next couple of rounds.
@ONL Okay, sounds good - place his residence as Shepheard's Hotel - room 2158 and then move him over to the CS tab. Are you wanting to bring him in soon or are you wanting to place him on hold until later?
@ONL Check Lola's CS - all information and image is provided there.
