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."

Please remember it is day 6 for Cases, if you have not posted for them, they need to be posted no later than tomorrow.
@rivaan Since it is 1 square, she can still perform a simple action.
@Sigil Go ahead and make it this round so we can move things ahead and the crew on the ship is just in the middle of unpacking for the most part. Harper and Daphne are talking but there was plenty of unloading before hand that can account for time.


Sana

Location: The Tower
Interacting With: A1
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Whatever the mage had done had not only pushed the armor back which he was attacking but stopped the other Armors from moving forward as they had intended. If fact, they froze in place. (Effectively removing their turn for a few moments). It wasn't much but it was enough to keep them from doing any harm or getting close enough to try this round. A hiccup in the magic that was holding them together and helping them move? No one could be sure but did it really matter? It was a small break and when it is six against five, any break is welcome. The odds were currently in favor of the rag tag group, for once. How long that luck would hold out, no one could tell.

Sana wasn't even noticing though, she had already seen two armors advance towards her direction in the few seconds since the battle had started. Her eyes were trained on the one closest to her. (A1) If she had thought about it she might have thanked whatever god or goddess supposedly watched over her but right then her only thought was focused on putting this armored thing back in it's place, or in a fire, whichever came first. Yet she had no fire, she had a bow and an arrow. One she was thankful she had nocked into place before she had entered the building. Rule one of adventuring, never enter a strange place without your weapon at the reason.

Drawing the string of her arrow back she took aim. The woman had a slew of skills that helped her out in the wild. Eagle Eye, perfect balance, gymnastics, and more. All of these skills were wonderful when she was running in battle, tumbling and dodging, if ice was on the ground. None of that helped her here. It was a suit of armor, in front of her, within fifteen feet. Her feet planted firmly on the ground, no wind to account for, nothing. It was as simple and as clear of a shot that could be. Like hitting the broad side of a barn. Problem was, when things were that simple is when they usually messed up. Yet she was a marksman, that was a skill that translated no matter what was going on. Letting loose the arrow it flew and struck dead chest on the armor; piercing it and going deep. She didn't move the armor back but black thick coagulated blood began to seep from the wound. Whatever was in the armor, it was hurt now, bleeding. That was enough.




With the rest of the armors stuck due to the magic weirdness, that ends round. New round begins. Updated placement -


Up first this round: Satilla




Newhope




The Ship: Atticus was content putting his things away and staying out of the way until he was needed. Then a thought hit him, he should probably help unload other things. To the galley it was, seeing what their food stores were and what they would need was probably a better way of spending his time than drinking.... Okay, better but not more fun. He could drink tonight and hopefully tend to a few other sins. Making his way over to the Galley he was slightly excited to see what it was like since he hadn't taken a real look around the ship yet.

Jahosafat on the other hand was going to stay in the infirmary for the time being. He was rather meticulous when it came to where he lived and where he worked. He had always been that way. Some people might have said he was a bit obsessive compulsive about certain things, to him it was just good breeding. Knowing that appearances were very important and told a lot about a person. What did it say about a doctor who didn't know where his equipment was or if his examination room or surgery was sloppy. No, that was just a ticket to disaster. He enjoyed a good romp, a food fight, and a good drink - but certain things were never to be touched by romps through the lower tiers of society. At least not in his book.

The captain, was pretty much lost in thought that right then. She didn't have Gene to speak with, Jackson was dead, Dorothy was off the ship doing god only knew what at this point with Foy, she was at odds with Daphne right now because of her attitude and feeling as if youth was a free ticket to be a bitch. Which stuck Anisa as almost funny. The girl wasn't young, she was on the wrong side of 25 now,26 to be exact. She wasn't a child anymore and even in worlds were the war had never hit, people her age were at least for the most part not carrying themselves as they were still a teen and knew everything. Apparently Daphne hadn't gone through that mental puberty as of yet. Sitting down on the edge of her bed she had to wonder if that would mean she would be losing her second today. Could Dorothy handle putting Daphne in her place and making her grow up? Would Daphne finally do that and stop acting as if she was special little snowflake? Looking down at the floor, Anisa prepared for the worst - she would lose Daphne and Dorothy soon it seemed, just how it went down was the question at this point. Not that she wanted to lose either, especially Dorothy but she had a ship to run and teenangst in a woman closer to 30 than 20 just wasn't going to be part of it.

Not The Ship: Traveling through the west part of town was like going through a maze but thankfully the area wasn't as bad as those with money that lived on the other side of the tracks would have liked people to believe it was. Sure there were plenty of kids trying to pick your pocket but thing was, if you were in that area you were pretty much left alone. The kids there knew, or at least the ones that had been around a while, that trying to pick someone's pocket here could end with your being dead while if you robbed a proper gent chances were you'd just have to deal with the local police. Finding the docks wouldn't be hard, just a few more minutes of weaving through the streets.

Over in the Lady Luck things were calmer than they had been earlier. No fights currently but this was the lull before the evening storm usually rolled in. Fewer people and earlier hours meant less drinking, less chance for a fight. Waitresses moved around freely and drinks were poured readily. Though the fact they missed someone meant extra flirting, and sadly for Jacqueline that also meant dealing with the new girl. It was obvious she hadn't been around long, the way she tried to get around people, the constant excuse me's and pardon me's and I'm sorries. She finally got over to the woman and smiled nervously, brightly, and even with a hint of terror in her voice as her lips trembled. "I am SO sorry abouts the waits, what can I get for ya?" she asked as she tried to jut her hip out to look more seductive but only ended up making herself look that much more awkward.

Royus chuckled as he looked over Fitz. "Ay, plenty, but also a lot of bullets, hunger, and other things I have had plenty of in my life," he said before shrugging. "I'm too old for that shit," he added with a laugh. "But you, yer fit and young, you have fun out there but hey, stop back by anytime you want. Be more than happy to play another game or just talk," he said kindly. Sighing a bit he finally had a excuse himself to help a customer. The hour was getting a bit later in the day and children were now out of schooling, that meant more were coming in to "browse."

The merchant area outside of the toy shop seemed plenty normal. People were shopping and talking, the leather worker had a sign up on his shop that he would be back after his lunch and the place was gated up. The mens clothing shop was still open and the door bell went off as people went in and out. The dress shop was still closed but this time there was a sign up that said it would open up again that evening. Other than that, it was pretty unamazing, besides the kids running in and out of the toy shop.
Okay I will be updating today - the rest of the armors that haven't gone yet are in rotation as well as Sana. (God for the highest dex in the group she fucked her initiation roll ><!!!) - anywho... This will bring the round to a close so I will also be setting up new initiative rolls today as well.
Updating today
Or hide, whatever it is called LOL. Need the following post removed from view in Deeper Than The Sands.

@Fantasychic Ignore Sigils last post. It will be deleted hopefully soon.


Thana Martin


Location: Medical Garden (10) -> Agriculture: Storage (West Side between Inner and Outer Wall)



Making her way out of the Medical Garden Thana kept pace with Ash as the continued towards the West Side Inner Wall gate. It was far smaller than the main gate but that was to be expected since it made it easier to guard. The smaller gates were not even gates per-say but doors built into the wall that one could lock and unlock as needed. Taller and wider than your standard house door but smaller than a garage door. During the day the inner wall gates outside of the main gate stayed unlocked so people could go about their duties but there was always a sentry posted there just in case. Thana really didn't pay the guard on top of the wall much mind as she headed through with Ash. Sure, not everyone had seen her as of yet but she was with the leader of Newnan, if they had a problem with it they could speak to him.

Stepping out into the area between the inner and outer wall she glanced around. "Keep eying me like this Captain and people are going to know that the tomato crop is the last thing on your mind," she said quietly as they walked. There was just the smallest smirk on her lips. Yes she was on duty and she wasn't about to do anything else but she had to admit she was enjoying this little thing they had going on. Working together, being together but having to keep professional in front of everyone else. It could for many people pose a conflict of interest but for her it just meant that once they were alone they could make up for all the time they couldn't do what they wanted to do in public and she had many ideas to just what that would entail come night fall.

Working her way to the storage building she pulled her keys out and unlocked the door. Stepping inside the slightly familiar building she took a look around. There were going to be several things they needed to gather that she had listed out earlier. A wheelbarrow wasn't one of them really but it would help them tote things around the town with much greater ease. Well a truck would have been preferred but a wheelbarrow would do. Turning slightly she glanced over towards Ash and cocked a brow. "Well either get over here and help me or shut the door and do something," she taunted him out of no where, a little surprised by her words that she had actually just said that but she shrugged it off on her mind. What was said was already said, no going back now.



Lola Holler


Location: North Of Newnan (Spring & St. Clair) -> Heading Towards A Meeting



"Righty-O," Lola said as she fired up the engine for the monster she drove once again. They had an idea of where they were going now. If that was right in the middle of a trap whoever they were meeting was bound to rethink screwing with them once they spotted the tank on the horizon. If this spotted dick had the stuff to take out her baby, they were screwed no matter what as far as she was concerned. Either was, it was going to exciting in her mind. Much more fun than just driving down the road to destinations unknown and waiting for shit to happen, this way they were at least meeting it head on.

Hearing the tell tale knock of someone's skull on the tank Lola laughed, plenty of people had been rendered knocked silly by her baby. "Watch your head," she giggled as she put the tank into gear and it jerked forward. She really wasn't even thinking of warning Alexander that he might want to hold onto something as it suddenly went down the road. Hell he probably wouldn't have heard her anyways if she had thought about it.

"Hope ya know what your doing mate, meeting this spotted dick, but hey maybe finally get some answers right?" she said in passing as they kept going down the road. "Alright navigator, which way?" she asked as they came to an intersection. Thalia would need to tell her quickly because it didn't seem like Lola was slowing down to turn, granted she never really did. One could wonder if Lola was determined to be the first person on earth to two wheel a tank.



Tatiana Korvo


Location: The Newnan's House (Building F)



Tatiana listened to Ray as he spoke and nodded a bit. "Dat is understandable. You vent through a lot to get here. It vould make sense you vouldn't vant anyone else losing a leg or you losing another. Makes you feel vunerable, a burden as it were, getting drug around by other people just to keep moving," she said in an understanding voice. She couldn't imagine herself going through life with only one leg, even before the outbreak occurred. It would have meant the end of her career. Now a day, without a safe haven like Newnan, it could easily mean death. In the end, no matter what happened out there beyond the walls you always ended up running at one point or another. Having one leg made that a bit difficult. Sure, Ray had a crutch now, knew how to ride a horse but he was still at a severe disadvantage.

Looking over towards Jack she sighed slightly. "Vhat all did you hear him say in your head?" she asked Jack. What he was saying made sense but she wanted to make sure that it made sense in context with what he had heard. Perhaps there were deeper fears he wasn't aware of now or that he was suppressing. With everything that had happened today and two people hearing or seeing things, she wondered how many more were under the same amount of stress. Had Sana been under all this, had she heard or seen something that had finally pushed her over the edge. That was something she would never have the answer for but she wanted to do everything she could to make sure that no one else succumbed to desperation. She made a mental note to get Ash in there as soon as possible to speak with, he always seemed so tense, this situation couldn't be helping.

Over in the infirmary Froggy nodded towards Niesha. "Je vous en prie," he said to Niesha with a bit of a smile. His way of saying you're welcome. Looking over towards Chloe. "Why don't you take Ravi down to the armory while you get geared up, let him see part of the town. They will probably issue him a knife for you to give him once you are outside of the walls," he said as he stood there.

Jim was over in the armory right then, going through things. He knew he probably shouldn't have stashed away one of their satellite phones in James gear, Ash would have his head for that but he wanted to make sure that James had some way of getting in contact with them if shit hit the fan. The man might have killed someone but he had killed Dick, to Jim that was no loss. Granted the phone wasn't on now, he would only turn it on from time to time for now, at least until it was discovered that the other one was missing. How long that would be was anyone's guess since the sat phones were kept under lock and key even in the armory and stashed in a safe that only he, Ash, and now Jack had the keys to. Stuff in there was mostly memories that Ash didn't want people touching.

Looking up as he heard the door open he spotted Niesha coming in. "Hey girl, what you doing here?" he asked her as he put his keys back on his belt.



Gavin & Ryan


Location: Near 545 Corinth Rd, Newnan: In the woods. (Not far from the Coweta County Water Authority)



"Well how long do we have before they arrive? Or they meeting us somewhere else?" Ryan asked as he looked around slowly. He wasn't exactly keen on meeting people where their supplies where. If they were about to get fucked over royally, he really didn't want these fuckers headed their way getting their hands on a house boat and everything that was in it. He also had to wonder just why James had suggested people take a look at the stuff and why Beatrice was wanting to take stock of shit now since Gavin had been in the back of the boat since they nearly arrived going through everything. Maybe she was just wanting to keep busy and maybe James had really lost it.

Gavin leaned against the boat and eyed Bea. "Um you did just be seeing me up there and doing that shit didn't ya? What's you don'ts trust little ol' me?" he laughed a bit as he pushed his curls out of his face and glanced over towards James. He was just messing with her, he hadn't gone through everything so it made sense for someone else to take a look. "He be havin' a point ya know. We meetin' up with these folk we mights not wants to do it here. Ya know, lettin' them find everythag we's gots. Might up their wants to just puts a bullet between our eyes. Times being toughs and alls that," Gavin said as he looked over at Ryan, the man did have a point.

Shrugging, it didn't matter now. The damage was done. James had told them now their exact location and unless they hustled and got shit hidden, miles away and got back in time, there really was no point. "Well I say fuck it. Let's them come but yous two, well if yers gonna stay might as well knows all of it in case you wants to high tails it out of before new folk arrive. We's going to kill that place known as Eden." Gavin just let the shit come flying out of his mouth with no filter.

Ryan froze and dropped his bag. "Fucking Christ, you two are nuts..."
