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."

@ONL Yeah it is lol. But figured he would know and such. No worries, with Lola and Thalia pretty sure he'll hear plenty of stuff he either doesn't understand or doesn't want to, lol

@Bee Thank you for the interest in our little Rp but sadly, as it states at the top of the Rp, we are currently full.
@ONL Think we have a bit of a misunderstanding. Nunya is an American slang term that has been around since at least the 80's. (I was saying back in 3rd grade) - means none of your business -> none of ya's -> nonya. So high chances are Alexander is rather familiar of the term. Don't know if you want to edit or not, but you are open to.
@rivaan yeah, go ahead and make the edit.
@Sigil @Morose @FantasyChic @Bluesky44

Okay, a few things that have been irking me for a while. So going to cover them now and I am probably going to come of harsher than I intend but I have tried to be "soft" in my delivery over the last months and it doesn't seem to have gotten through on some of these matters. Now please make note, if you haven't done the following don't worry. Just take it as a simple reminder. If you are worried some of this includes you, just drop me a pm to ask. Why am I not doing it in a simple pm to certain people? Because while annoying, it is something that needs to be addressed publicly, if only to give a reminder.

Working on an update now but as I am rereading posts to make sure I cover everything I am noticing something. Posting too much time being taken up by a character in a single post. Remember, when you post you need to keep your posts within the same amount of time spent in the other Rpers posts. This seems to be a constant problem for at least one Rper here. Moving from one side of town to the other while everyone else only moves from the inside of the ship to the outside. Making multiple trips to complete a task while others make one. This really throws off the ~time line~ in RP. If one character is moving 5 times the distance as everyone else - you are really fucking over the rest of us since we couldn't realistically reply to you if your character spoke to us. Remember, though this is a Firefly style RP, it is still run by general universal principles. No one in this RP is the Flash.

Also, less noticeable but needing to be addressed just as much, lay off the ~post holder posts~. What I mean by this are posts that add nothing to the RP and are just thrown together to keep you in the game. Yes, they are needed from time to time when things get hectic. You post something to make sure your counter doesn't run out because life got to be a bit much. That isn't bad if it is every once in a while but if you are posting basically the same thing every week and never adding to the RP, not doing anything to give your character growth, or the like - I have to ask - Why are you here? Don't stick with an Rp just because you have been in it a while. Add to it. A Gm will only give things to your character that they think you will work with. If you are just a ~post holder~ they will just gloss over you because it isn't worth the effort to work up things for your character to do if you keep blowing off everything the rest of the group does or tries to pull you in on.

Another thing - several of you are part of my long term peeps group. You are in more than 1 RP, run tons of characters, been with me for more than a year in RP's. I know what you can handle. I trust you. Don't be afraid to take the reins with things. You don't have to just go off what my WN's have. Take what was posted earlier in the RP, pm me if you have an idea and want to run with it, work with your Rpers to cover some things if you are away from the main group. I can pm you back and forth a lot during the day. Need a roll? Let me know! Use those skills. Fuck, you guys are damn talented, I know you always have ideas up those RP sleeves of yours. Pull an Ace and lets see how the hand plays out. Need more information on what they could see? PM me! Want to know what is going on with some NPC's I mentioned a while ago that haven't popped their heads up again? PM Me!

Have an NPC from your characters past you want to pop up and screw with your character, let me know and then go for it! LOL Have fun! We are a small group here, smaller the group the more we can do with things. When we have a large group like TWD it is harder for me to work in the stuff with other peoples NPC because so much is already going on but here, there are just the 5 of us. It is a lot easier to give you guys a green light on shenanigans. Fuck, one of you want to run a sub villain? Oh please, contact my ass!

And last, remember to read all the posts! Not just yours, not just the WN. Read all the posts. Double check them before you post. What other characters do will affect you eventually. Example....

Character A) Returns to the ship after being away a while.
Character B) Asks character A - what happened?
Character A) "Oh this..." says character A and proceeds to tell them everything that happened.

If you are character B and haven't been reading, you are totally fucked if they give you the above summary line. You didn't read it when it happened, now you have to go back, find the posts, catch up, and pray to god you didn't miss anything. This can easily be avoided if you just read as we go! If gives you one post from each person per rotation instead of 20 posts per Rper to catch up on. Don't make things harder on yourself or the rest of us.

Think that covers it. Happy Rping.

Prometheus/Docks: Jahosafat glanced over towards Harper and set his crate down as he adjusted his sleeves a bit. "Well I cannot and will not dare say to the intentions of my one such as wondrous as the great Foy Coiffeur. The man can be a mystery wrapped in an an enigma at times or as blunt as the hard end of the most basic of hammers if he so desires. Yet if I were to make an educated assumption based on my life long exposure to the mustaching master I would say adventure dear boy. Simple adventure! For myself, what is more prudent than sailing into the black, to places one has not yet seen, seeing what type of action and frivolity one can have encompassed around himself? Truly, after so many years with my nose to the grindstone, working on case after case that does no more to stimulate my medulla oblongata than sand paper does to my neathers, noticeably yet but grating, it is high time I set out for places unknown to have a bit of action in my life!" the doctor said a bit too excitedly.

Anisa stepped out to gather another crate and overheard the long speech given by the doctor before her eyes drifted to Harper. "Well that was... informative," she said and gave Harper of look as if to ask him "bet you are sorry you asked." Shaking it off she picked up another crate and headed back into the ship. It would take a bit for each person to get each of their own ones into the ship.

Toy Shop: Royus smiled over towards Fitz and nodded. "Well that is something I can help you with," he said as he ruffled the end of his feather duster. "Come with me," he added with a follow me motion with his finger. Walking slowly over to a wall display, a slight limp to the old mans walk. Looking over the stacks of various boards games his hand reached up and his fingers seemed to go over them as if they were braille. "Something to help you get to know other people." It wasn't a question, just a statement refreshing what Fitz was looking for in his mind.

"Well, let's stay away from various games that make you actually talk about your past. Most people aren't keen to opening up like that. We need something that will stimulate small talk here and there. Oh my not this one, this one usually divides families. No, this really isn't entertaining unless everyone involved likes numbers and dice. Cards, no. Most only enjoy this is they drink as well. No skill needed here. Too much skill needed on this one." Royus kept going over games, giving a reason to why this one just would not do. Then he finally stopped and smiled to himself as he pulled out a very old looking and dust covered game that was buried beneath the others.

"This will do just fine. It is a mystery game. The board is a mansion and it has many rooms. In the beginning of the game one character, weapon, and room is placed in an envelope without anyone knowing what any of them are. The other characters get given to the rest of the group. They keep what they get a secret. As you go through the rooms on the board you make guesses based off the cards you have until you can solve who killed who, with what, and where. It gives you a good game that is part skill, part luck of the dice, a little bit of talk, but isn't over whelming. This should do you perfectly," he said as he handed the game out for Fitz.

Merchant Area: Okay you three, you know what is around you at this point. North heads towards the Lady Luck, south takes you back towards the docks. East towards the main living part of the city for the rich, west towards the poor part of the city. There are people walking about of course, and shops. Many are going to get a meal at this time and there are only a few meal places around you dotting between the shops. Trail has gone cold as far as blood goes at this point. There are a few kids that look like your average hooligan mulling about. Two coming out of the store store cursing in Chinese about an old man and how they would have kicked his ass if it had been worth their time. Pm me if you need more. No gap closing between the three of you as of yet.
@Sigil yeah, go ahead LOOOORRRDDDD MMMMAAAJJJOORRRRR
