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."

@rivaan hehe, yup. Miss Sally has returned!
I had been holding this for a while now but considering what just went down in TWD RP, I thought some of us could use a bit of a pick me up. Especially @Sigil, @Morose, @rivaan Let me introduce everyone to who Maeve will be working for...

>TMW you really need to update your original ooc post but it means adding in a favorite character to the Death List.

When I get a pm from someone telling me they would love to join one of my Rp's but...

"But... I can't post as much as your rules require."
"But... I don't want to write a history for the CS."
"But... I want to use a race you don't allow."
"But... I want to use a character that wields magic in a No magic allowed RP."
"But... this."
"But... that."
"But..."



But your butt right out the damn door. I am not changing my rules or requirements that EVERYONE else in the RP has already been following for a year just to make an exception for you. I won't do it for an Rp partner I have been rping with for 25 years, I won't do it for you. There are 5000 other Rp's out there that don't have the rules and requirements mine do, go there.

And no, there is no harm in asking but when they start whining and badgering after I say no, or heaven forbid the whole "I'm a damn good Rper! You're missing out not letting me join!"... Piss off!
Sunie Marks





The ember of the cigarette glowed bright orange as Sunie drew in a puff to her lungs. Her eyes not really focused on anything in particular and her ears refusing to hear the noise of the city. She could hear the slight crackle of the tobacco and the fall off her footsteps on the concrete of the sidewalk as she moved through the crowd. Her mind was focused elsewhere right then, thinking on the odd slip of paper she had found in shop earlier, the upped date of the contract piece for Flo, and so forth. It was hardly on her surroundings. It was probably better that way, if one got too focused on all the poverty she was passing it could cause a sadness or a depression in someone who actually gave two shits.

Yet as she pulled the cigarette from her lips and blew the smoke out of her lungs her eyes couldn't help but notice the homeless right then. Sure, she rarely ever noticed them. They were tossed away gum on the sidewalk. It was everywhere but unless it stuck to your shoe you just kept walking. Yet today it seemed something was up. Glancing around she took note of how they seemed huddled together, crowding each other. That wasn't normal. Maybe, just maybe, if it was winter and it was freezing outside she could chalk it up to trying to stay warm but not tonight. Rounding the corner she kept an eye out still for a place to eat but her eyes kept darting on the homeless, they were officially stuck to the bottom of her shoe now.
I just want to gush and give a huge thanks to my peeps in The Walking Dead: Year 4 - @Morose @Rivaan @Sigil @FantasyChic @Caits @Nallore & @ONL.

We have just completed the first few test runs of a new Gming tool known as ~Cases~ where much of the power of the Gm gets turned over to the players. They are given a ~case~, a primary goal, a secondary goal, and a time frame in RP, and a time limit IRL to get it done. They keep everything behind the scenes and only come to me if they need a randomization or roll. Otherwise they do what they need to do, either solo, paired up with others, or as a large group, and at the end of their allotted time post for me and everyone else to see what happened. Everyone did wonderfully with these, no one abused the freedom they were given or took things too far. It allowed us to cover a lot more time and many more things for the characters than we would have been able going with the traditional back and forth posting. It went wonderfully, splendidly even. So much in fact it will be a tool that I will be implementing in my other RP's as the weeks and months pass.

So yeah, huge thanks to all my peeps that helped me test this. You were spectacular! I couldn't ask for a better group of Rpers!
@Morose @Rivaan @Sigil @FantasyChic @Caits @Nallore @ONL -

Okay peeps, this is day 7 of the collabs for cases. If yours is not posted yet, you have to get that in today. I will be updating tomorrow. Many of you that are on cases won't be next round but you can still chose to collab if that works best for you. Also, I won't be giving reminders as much with cases as far as count go, going to start gradually decreasing how often I give reminders since we have had a couple successful rounds of test runs.

I want to thank everyone for working on these. Things seem to be going smoothly and I will be slowly implementing the ~Case~ scenario to other Rp's I Gm now. So congrats on getting through the beginning test phase of this RP application and making it a success.

On a side note - ahh, nevermind, you'll find out soon enough :P
House: Ravenclaw
Wand: Maple wood with a dragon heartstring core, 12"
Patronus: Unicorn
Ilvermorny House: Pukwudgie
@rivaan Nah noting like that - I do the rolls either on a website titled online die roller or in the chat room. Results were either written down on paper or just typed up as I went. Wish I had time to keep track of them all. Would be funny as hell to show all the other options for a situation that don't get published.

Ship Yard: "Nooowww don't be going and doing nuthin' you gonna be regretting," the man stammered as he held his hands up and tried to stand his ground. It wasn't working. Anisa stood there, her gun pointed directly at him. It didn't waiver at all as she kept her eyes on him. After a moment she waved it slightly, motioning for him to step into his office. "Riight, of course. Let's get those papers signed and the lock taken off that rig," he added shakily as he started to move slowly from where he stood towards a small building.

Anisa followed him at a safe distance slowly, stepping deliberately behind him. Her gun still pointed at him as he disappeared into the office itself. Stopping she glanced over towards Harper as he spoke. A small smirk played on her lips and she nodded. She did indeed have a name for her new ship. It was one that she had had on standby for sometime, knowing that the days of the Vengeance would one day come to an end. No matter how hard a person worked, eventually a ship would no longer fly. Sure she could go back for the Vengeance but at what cost? No, it was better to leave that ship and the times that came with it in the past.

"Sure does. Her name's Prometheus." With that Anisa turned her head and walked into the office to tend to business.

The Toy Store: Royus sat there, listening to Fitz speak. More than that waiting for him to make a move on the board. Once the boy had he leaned forward a bit, his eyes darting across the playing field as his fingers pressed against each other. "I see, well that does sound like an exciting way to see the 'verse," he said as he picked up a piece and moved it. His old fingers stayed on the piece for a minute as if he was contemplating changing the move. His lips pursing a bit he finally let go and sat back in his chair once again.

Looking over towards Fitz he smiled, happy with his move. "Wouldn't try tonight. Off loading in the evenings, people selling and trading, wanting to get off ship to explore the city and relax a bit," he said before rubbing his chin a bit and looking over towards the front of the store. "Mornings is best, people wanting to get back off world, ready to fill their ship with crew or passengers but if you don't want to wait that long there are a few places crew blow off steam around here. One is Lady Lucks," he mentioned before looking back over to Fitz and waiting for his next move.

Dressmaker: "Alright," she said quickly. The dressmaker nodded a bit and pulled out a spool of thread. It wasn't surgical, at least not for her it wasn't but it was of silk so it would be thin enough to not need a large needle yet strong enough to hold. Unwinding it from the spool she got a decent length of the silk thread before cutting it. Picking out a needle she threaded it before pouring a small amount of alcohol over it.

"Okay, bite down on this," she said handing Mei a strap piece of leather and the bottle of liquor. She figured the woman would need one or the other or both. Sitting down on her stool and planting both her feet on the ground she looked up at Mei and tried to give her a reassuring look. "Might want to hold your thanks until I get done," he said, trying to make light of the situation. Taking a deep breath she waited for Mei to be ready before she began stitching her up.

Retribution: "So, that everything?" Atticus asked Jahosafat as they walked out of the main cargo area of the ship.

"Completely and positively. Isn't a spec left. Anything else we have to be completing before that fiery captain gets back?" Jahosafat asked as he put his top hat on and picked up the last of his things to carry out of the cargo bay.

Atticus shook his head as he picked up his own personal last case. "Nope, looks like we pretty much got it. We moved most of it before the Captain left. Only were a few crates left to tend to," he said as the two walked out of the hold. Making sure that Daphne was out of it he closed it up and locked it as well. "Might as well have a seat ad enjoy some of this fresh air until everyone gets back."
