🦄 Deeper Than The Sands - Merged With T.S.

Deeper Than The Sands: Paused Between Ch. 1 & 2

This Rp is part of a larger story line and is currently paused and merged into the Tartarean Strands Storyline. It will pick up once the storylines break apart again.

The Rules - Read Them, Follow Them

---

Rules

*Rules are enforced and you will be removed if you break them - they may seem strict and harsh but I am a fair Gm as long as communication remains open and honest and people do no take advantage.

  • No Bunnying
  • No Auto-Hitting
  • Remember IC and OOC are two different things - keep them separate

  • Taboo subjects will be crossed but will be maintained to fade to black if needed

    • Allowed but keep it Pg-13, then fade to black
    • No prestarted couples
    • Don't plan out couples ahead of time
    • Don't force couples
    • Let romance happen naturally without planning - trust me, the wait and work is worth it.
    • If love interests and couples form too quickly in the GM's opinion she is not above instituting a required roll from LLA to see if love can occur or if they end up hating each other just as instantly as they fell in love.
  • Approved and active members of the Rp will be given the link to Lady A's Rp Chat room to better help stay in touch with your fellow Rpers in this RP
  • The world is controlled by the GM - All NPC's, weather, what you see, what you find, what happens, everything. So if it isn't in my post, it didn't happen. If you need more information, either tag the Gm in OOC or drop a PM. Assume nothing.
  • All skills and attempts for things must be sent to the GM for rolls to deem success or failure.
  • Randomization and LLA is used in this RP - Please refer to my tutorial for a description if you are new to this concept
• Posting Habits
  • You are not allowed to use @Mention Tags or Interacting With Headers In IC.
  • You are not allowed to copy and paste anything another character has said or posted in a previous post in your posts
  • Uniform Headers for Character must by used in IC posts (code provided below)
  • No Fontmeme or the like is allowed for IC or CS's
  • Your characters personal color code must be used for dialog
  • Minimal of 250 Words Per Post
    • Post on SI first and hover over the stars in the top left hand corner of your post to check post length.
    • Once posted on RPG, edits for post length will not be accepted and you will be removed from RP if your post does not meet the minimal.
  • If you are running more than 1 character at once, your required paragraph total is equal to 250 words per character!
  • Must IC post once every 7 days (It is your job to keep up with when you need to post. Your last post hits Day 8 and I remove you from the RP.)
  • If you need additional time to post you must notify the Gm by day 5 of your counter. Extensions will not be granted after that. I will try to work with you but only if you are up front, honest, and keep the lines of communication open. Real life comes first but joining this Rp means you know and respect what is expected of you and your fellow RPers. (You aren't the only one with a life)
  • I do not accept "no inspiration" as a reason not to post
  • I do not accept "waiting for someone else to post" as a reason not to post
  • I do not accept "I have nothing to post" as a reason not to post
  • Keep up with all IC and OOC posts - This means read them all, I do random checks on this. Miss enough things and you will be removed.
  • No spamming OOC - Seriously, I will gut you
  • If you are holding up the RP and joining other Rp's you will be called on it
  • Minimal 2 posts between your last
  • No editing a post in IC once it has been posted without first getting permission from the GM
  • If an edit is required to your last post it must be done before day 8 on your previous posts counter or you will be removed. (Posts that need editing are considered incomplete.)
  • If a Gm calls for an edit that is your ~permission~ to edit
  • No Editing IC/OOC/CS posts if you leave or are removed from the RP
  • There is no additional time granted due to forum glitches unless the forum is fully down for more than 3 days. A week to post is plenty of time even if the forum glitches a day or two
  • Collabs
    • Must tag the Gm in OOC to notify her that you are collabing and who are you are collabing with by day 5 of the highest counter
    • Collabs may not be started after your day 5 counter
    • If you are collabing and your partner vanishes or does not reply, you must finish the collab and post it before the timer runs out
    • If your collab partner vanishes you are granted temporary minimal bunnying privileges to complete the collab
    • If your collab partner vanishes, you need to make the Gm aware so it does not count against you
  • Know your personal posting limitations before applying to join - Work gives you a schedule, schools let you know when finals are coming, plan around these things
  • You may withdraw from the RP at any time and be put on Hiatus for an extended amount of time if your schedule becomes over whelming. You are allowed 1 Hiatus per year.
  • If you join other Rp's while on Hiatus you will not be admitted back to the Rp and will be considered ~kicked~
  • If you flake out, ghost, or are kicked from the RP the GM takes control of your character and it becomes general NPC property of the RP. The character may just be shelved, might be killed, or turned over to another Rper. (So if you are going to drop this RP, just post you are leaving to keep this from happening.)
• Spots are not first come first serve
  • Gm will review completed CS first
  • Gm will then notify you if you are approved
  • Character deaths will happen, no one is safe - it will be randomized and you will be notified when your death approaches. (This does not mean you are out of the RP, it will mean however you need to make a new character should you wish to continue - I recommend having Back Up Characters Ready)
  • I am looking for long term highly dedicated Rpers. My Rps tend to run a minimal of one year, so be prepared for it!
  • This RP is within the Lady A Universe Timeline 'Verse
• Rules and Cs sheet will be added to and changed as need be depending on problems or points that come up.
• Under Extras in your CS post a link to a post you have done in the past on this forum. If you submit a CS without this it will be declined
• Special - To New Comers To The Guild - Pm The Gm before you even start a CS

Special Rules For Deeper Than The Sands

• This is a Chapter Based RP
  • This Rp will be broken down into Chapters instead of ~ending~ the RP and starting over with each new part
  • Original OOC will be updated for each chapter
  • At the end of each year awards of new skills will be granted to those characters that ~survive~ that long
  • Characters must be in play a minimal of half the chapters time to be awarded new skills
• Cases
  • Case Method will be used in this RP from time to time
  • Counters for Cases will begin when the WN with the case in it
  • Counters for Cases differ from the usual 7 day counter depending on the Case - How many days you have for a case will be posted in the case file
  • Cases are collab work between you, whoever else is assigned to your case and the GM - In PM for rolls and updates
  • Cases are a newer method and give much more control to the RPer - if you have questions ask. If this is your first time dealing with cases, do NOT worry. The GM will walk you through it
• Rpers may start out with 1 character and 1 back up character
• Rpers in Good Standing with Lady A may begin with 2 Characters and however many back up characters you think you'll want to have
• Additional Characters may be brought in later depending on various things, PM the GM if you wish to do this after a minimal of 3 months of IC for review
• This is a slice of life rp
  • Real Life cause and effect will be in place
  • Realistic Character Sheets Only
  • Things like jobs and skills must fit with characters back story
  • Please remember this is taking place in 1924 Egypt. There will be certain prejudices in place: gender, religion, sexuality, class. So please take this into account as it could be a factor in the RP.
• If you wish your character to have "connections" please run it by the GM first to ensure it is acceptable and isn't already being done by another.
• Under Extras in the CS place your favorite Egyptian God/Goddess so I know you at least skimmed this...(Ha all you old timers, I move one.)
• This RP is a prequel to Darker Than Black, so it is a crossover.
• You may NOT use characters from previous RP's
  • Once Cs's are approved, relation sheet will go up and must be completed and added to CS - This is not required to late comers to the RP as you wouldn't know someone at this point.

Skills

• Rolls must be requested for any action in an RP
• Don't assume just because your character is capable of something that it has been rolled for
• Rolls must be requested by end of day 5 of your general counter except in the following circumstances
  • In a case - roll counters are done on an individual case basis.
  • You are on day 5 when an update comes in. You have 48 hours to get a request in then.
• Once a roll is called for and I give you the results, you have 24 hours to post. (Failure to do so will result in removal from the RP.)
• When making a request be sure to include all information
  • Character name
  • Characters current location
  • Characters attempted actions
  • Any and all skills being used
  • Why each skill is being called
  • Desired location if the character is attempting to move from point A to point B
• Skill Rolls
  • These are ONLY skills your character has listed in their CS
  • These MUST be listed in your header if you make a roll request
  • They MUST be listed EXACTLY as you have listed in your CS
  • Having the skill and calling a roll for it gives you certain bonuses to success
  • Example:
    • Gavin is currently sitting looking through his scope on the green near the lake. He is going to attempt to shoot the Edenite that is on the top of the wall, closest one to him. He is using his Rifle and Sniper Rifle Skills for this to take aim and to fire. He is using his people reading skill to supplement them in hopes of knowing if the person is going to run right before he fires. he is NOT moving from his current location at this time.
  General Rolls
  • These are for skills not listed in your characters CS
  • These are general attempts
  • They do NOT get listed in your header
  • When you call for one, you must let the GM know your character does not possess this skill.
  • These can be used for a general light bulb, to attempting something new, and so forth.
  • Example:
    • Zoie is currently in the main hosting area of the party at Queensguard. No skills are being used. I need a general observation and perception check to see if anyone is keeping an eye on her or if anything seems out of place. She needs to get to a private location so she can try to execute the plan to get information on Cynthia Ross. So general mental check to see if any points of exit come to mind. If she gets an idea she will be attempting to leave the scene, if not she will hold position.

🧚🏻‍♀️ The Walking Dead - Year 6 Part 1

Those Evil Overlord Rules You Have To Put Up With:

---------

--------- * Rules are enforced and you will be removed if you break them - they may seem strict and harsh but they are there for a reason: previous problem causers. Will work with you within reason but special treatment is not granted. Gm is an Evil Goddess who has the final say on all matters. This is the Gm's house, entering means you are agreeing to be be a good guest and follow the rules. If you are unable, seek RP elsewhere. Gm will work with Rpers and loves to work in new things to help Rpers with personal story arcs: Gm will not cater to you. Rpers will be kicked if they break any rules, don't check egos at the door, cause problems in the group, are rude or insulting, etc. No Spoilers - seriously, it just ruins the funs. Plus half the time the Gm don't even know what will happen since it depends heavily on the rpers/characters/dice rolls. If removed from RP your character becomes property of the RP and LLA to toy and play with as she sees fit. When in doubt, have a question, if you need help, can't get coding right, don't know what to do, want to try something new, need more information, ETC. - MESSAGE THE GM!

• General Rules:
  • The world and all Main NPC's are controlled by the GM: weather, what is around, so forth and so on.
  • All actions using skills must be a called action and will require a GM check to see what the outcome is: for more information check Skills and CS instructions. Depending on the situation, this can be done before you post via pm or after you post a called action in the next world narrative.
  • All Forum RP rules apply. No meta-gaming, auto-hitting, bunnying, god-modding, etc.
  • Keep Romance to PG-13 or even PG in IC if you are unsure. Fade to black when needed. This Rp discourages pre-started/forced couples.
  • Keep IC and OOC separate. No OOC in the IC. All issues are to be taken to PM. Got a problem with another Rper - take it to them first to try to work it out. If you can't, then bring it to me - Privately.
  • This Rp will cross certain lines. Foul language/gore/disturbing situations will/do/have happened- no restrictions. This includes all types of 'ism's: Please remember that what happens in RP is just that: RP. GM does not agree with 'ism's but will not restrict the characters personalities.
• Joining The RP:
  
  • Filling out CS does not equal acceptance, spots are not first come first served. Gm reserves the right to deny anyone for any reason at anytime.
  • Please note if you are approved you will have to join Lady A's Discord Chat and check it daily and register on a private forum.
  • CS Code provided below must be used.
  • You may submit your CS for approval in the OOC or via PM. Only GM approved CS's are allowed in CS Tab. Once a Cs is approved, you may only edit it with GM approval.
  • When filling out your CS, change it to a color code currently not in use. Do not use Red/Gold/White/RP Color - gets confusing. Do not use dark shades - makes it hard to read.
  • Character images are not required but are encouraged. Check PC's, NPC's, and Grids starting on page 5 to ensure you aren't using one that is already taken or been used.
  • CS's will be added to, updated, and changed as needed over time.
• Posting Habits:
  • 2 well developed paragraphs per post, roughly 250 words, is the minimal.
  • No editing posts without Gm approval. If the Gm calls for an edit due to an issue that is your permission edit.
  • Must IC post once every 7 days. If your counter hits day 8, you are removed from RP.
  • Minimal 2 posts between your last unless special circumstance arises - Ask GM if unsure.
  • Know your personal posting limitations before applying to join. Extensions are granted but only once in a while and must be requested before counter is up! If you need to leave for an extended period of time, contact the GM to shelve your character for a hiatus: 1 per year. Don't need to know why. We all have a life - if you join this Rp becomes part of that. See it through.
  • When posting use the universal header. Images are not required: Any image used must be under 300 pxl high. No font-meme stuff, added quotes, etc. Update location and skills as they change, things will be added as needed: Jobs/Weapons/Etc.
  • Don't tag people in your IC posts and don't copy what they have said to put in your post.
  • Each IC post must be posted on RPG and the private forum: blame RPG crashes. No extra time granted when RPG goes down - post on SI, will move over later.
  • If you are collabing, the counter is off which ever Rpers is highest. Inform GM if you are going to collab.
• The Walking Dead RP Specific Rules:
  
  • This is an RP based on The Walking Dead TV Show/Comics (Fear The Walking Dead is NOT canon here.)
  • You may not use face claims from the series or the comics, or characters. Nor may they have run across those from the series/comics, heard rumors, etc.
  • There is no cure for Walkers, and before the outbreak one hadn't even heard of walkers. (Zombies is not a word known in this universe so don't use it.).
  • All weapons/music/pop-culture/technology/etc. must be circa 2006 and earlier.
  • This is an RP about dead things walking and people trying to survive right? So yeah, you're gonna die, everyone does eventually. Refer to Master Death List for Examples.
  • Keep your Cs's real people. Yeah we got Walkers but everything else needs to be in the realm of reality. Skills should fit background.
  • You may start out with one character only. More may be brought in as trust and reliability are established. Only long term well established Rpers in TWD are allowed to use personal NPC's.
  • This is a character driven Rp. It is up to you to find things for your character to do. The Walkers are just the background, the characters and their interactions are the RP. GM will provide the world, the rest if up to the RPer
  • We currently are NOT accepting the following character types: Medical/Law Enforcement/Military/Security/Famous

----------------------- ---------

--------- --------- Rules can and will change as needed. In the end, doesn't matter what is or isn't listed here - What the Gm says is law. Hopefully we can keep from needing more. Most things are common sense and common courtesy. Don't be an ass, don't try to find loop holes, get along with others, accept when you get called out and fix things, roll with it, keep IC and OOC separate, and have fun. If you do this, so will I and everything will be fine. If you don't like this, then just go Rp in another topic or open your own. There are plenty of Rpers and GMs out there, none of us have to put up with anyone or anything we don't want to and we all need a break from each other from time to time. If you can't handle that, I wish you luck elsewhere. If you can, then welcome, I look forward to Rping with you.

Special Rules For The Paradoxical Emendation

• Characters start off with no skills - they will be assigned via the GM after Cs is completed
• Characters start off with no possessions - they will be worked out with the GM after Cs is completed
• Characters do NOT age from beyond their starting point
• Characters cannot "reproduce" (No children, pregnancies, or ability to get someone else pregnant. Paradoxes cannot since they are technically dead. Emendators have never been able to.)
• Paradox Characters
  • Must have died previously in another Lady A Rp (Main or Alternate Timeline) or another suitable RP here on the forum (Contact GM for RP review before filling out CS - PM RP are not allowed since I cannot personally check it and refer to it when needed. I will not accept copy and paste text.)
  • Characters from DnD, Super Hero, Anime, and so forth similar Rp's will most likely not be accepted.
  • Cannot be in use in another RP during the duration of this RP
  • If you have not had a character died and are determined to join, PM Lady A - You will need to join another of her Rp's, complete the CS for that RP, be worked into the story, RP it for at least 3 IC posts, and then be "voluntarily" slaughtered
  • Most of your CS is a direct copy from your characters ORIGINAL CS - no adding or changing anything other than what is instructed to on the CS
  • Link to previous Rp the character was in must be provided in the appointed slot on the Character Sheet
  • Link to original CS for said character must be provided in the appointed slot on the Character Sheet
  • Link to death scene for said character must be provided in the appointed slot on the Character Sheet
  • If said character has died in more than 1 Rp, chose which one you will be basing it off of for this RP and proceed accordingly
  • Time era for your character before death will NOT matter for this RP, so don't worry
  • Skills for characters will be randomly obtained in RP and assigned by the GM using the Randomization Method
  • Once your Cs is approved the GM will contact you about what they are ~wearing~ when they ~arrive~
  • Your first IC post will be your character arriving
• Emendator Characters
  • Characters must be new and cannot be remakes from other RP's
  • No previously used Face Claims by you or others. (Check with GM since this is a long list)
  • They can have no relations to other characters. (Such as parents, siblings, cousins, etc.)
  • Emendators are highly trained beings specializing in specific talents and purposes
  • Once an Emendator meets another Emendator they are drawn to stay around each other. So history will have to reflect that
  • You cannot ~claim~ an Emendator space, it will be chosen on merit of the CS and Rper alone
  • If interested in an Emendator space, contact the GM via PM only for more instructions
  • This will be a long process to complete an Emendator Cs and it may not be approved even after everything, so be prepared for this!
  • Are the Emendator spots full? From the looks of it, yes but stay tuned as the RP unfolds, this might change
  • Whether you leave or are kicked from the RP doesn't matter. An Emendator character will automatically become property of the RP as it is a fixed and highly needed position.
• If a character does not have a particular skill, it means they cannot accomplish it. Certain basic commonsense skills though are defaulted to your characters general traits but still must be rolled for by the GM for success or failure.
• This is a Chapter Based RP
  • This Rp will be broken down into Chapters instead of ~ending~ the RP and starting over with each new part
  • Original OOC will be updated for each chapter
  • At the end of each chapter awards of new skills will be granted to those characters that ~survive~ that long
  • Characters must be in play a minimal of half the chapter time to be awarded new skills
• Cases
  • Case Method will be used in this RP from time to time
  • Counters for Cases will begin when the WN with the case in it
  • Counters for Cases differ from the usual 7 day counter depending on the Case - How many days you have for a case will be posted in the case file
  • Cases are collab work between you, whoever else is assigned to your case and the GM - In PM for rolls and updates
  • Cases are a newer method and give much more control to the RPer - if you have questions ask. If this is your first time dealing with cases, do NOT worry. The GM will walk you through it
• Rpers may start out with 1 character and 1 back up character
• Rpers in Good Standing with Lady A may begin with 2 Characters and however many back up characters you think you'll want to have
• Additional Characters may be brought in later depending on various things, PM the GM if you wish to do this after a minimal of 3 months of IC for review

Skills

• Rolls must be requested for any action in an RP
• Don't assume just because your character is capable of something that it has been rolled for
• Rolls must be requested by end of day 5 of your general counter except in the following circumstances
  • In a case - roll counters are done on an individual case basis.
  • You are on day 5 when an update comes in. You have 48 hours to get a request in then.
• Once a roll is called for and I give you the results, you have 24 hours to post. (Failure to do so will result in removal from the RP.)
• When making a request be sure to include all information
  • Character name
  • Characters current location
  • Characters attempted actions
  • Any and all skills being used
  • Why each skill is being called
  • Desired location if the character is attempting to move from point A to point B
• Skill Rolls
  • These are ONLY skills your character has listed in their CS
  • These MUST be listed in your header if you make a roll request
  • They MUST be listed EXACTLY as you have listed in your CS
  • Having the skill and calling a roll for it gives you certain bonuses to success
  • Example:
    • Gavin is currently sitting looking through his scope on the green near the lake. He is going to attempt to shoot the Edenite that is on the top of the wall, closest one to him. He is using his Rifle and Sniper Rifle Skills for this to take aim and to fire. He is using his people reading skill to supplement them in hopes of knowing if the person is going to run right before he fires. he is NOT moving from his current location at this time.
  General Rolls
  • These are for skills not listed in your characters CS
  • These are general attempts
  • They do NOT get listed in your header
  • When you call for one, you must let the GM know your character does not possess this skill.
  • These can be used for a general light bulb, to attempting something new, and so forth.
  • Example:
    • Zoie is currently in the main hosting area of the party at Queensguard. No skills are being used. I need a general observation and perception check to see if anyone is keeping an eye on her or if anything seems out of place. She needs to get to a private location so she can try to execute the plan to get information on Cynthia Ross. So general mental check to see if any points of exit come to mind. If she gets an idea she will be attempting to leave the scene, if not she will hold position.

🦄 The Paradoxical Emendation - Merged With T.S.

@Natsu It looks like you do, I will do a final review of it once I get things calmed down around here. (Kids are out of school due to it being cancelled today so have to rework my day now time wise.) I will pm you the "Paradox Welcome" note today with a run down of a few things as well as what will be placed in the "Cards on the Table" section of your CS.

Getting Your Bleep Together When You're Struggling [aka "how do writing when am a basket case"]

1) Do you like to write but struggle to get started, finish or with the process itself? What motivates you to do it despite the struggle?
Accountability. In the Rps I Gm, I have counters that simply state that you must post every so many days or get kicked. I hold myself to my own rules. I post - end of story. It might suck but I am accountable to my Rpers and they are accountable to me. Sure this is a hobby but we pledged our time and effort. It speaks volumes if people break that. So I don't. Having that accountability and holding myself to it usually allows me to power through no matter how bad shit is. (And it has been bad - Assault, illness, etc.)

2) Any anxieties about what you write? What techniques help you to feel more confident?
I really don't have that issue anymore. Granted over 30 years doing this you kind of get over your insecurities and move along to the "zero fucks given" motto. I used to though and I just kind of used them to my advantage back then. (In other words I made characters that had the same anxieties I did and I just wrote as myself for a time.) It actually helped on both ends of the spectrum.

3) If you have memory issues (or not?), any skills or processes to not lose valuable info?
I use an RP Journal currently, used to use PM's to myself. I have an agenda that people use for their daily and weekly tasks that has been repurposed for RP. Each RP has it's own section, when I read posts I take notes of what I need to reply to. I have quick card Cs's for each character that gives me their traits, looks, fears, skills all for quicker references. It all is in one place for easy and quick access that I keep with me at all times. So net or no net, I can still keep everything together and organized and ready for when I need to post.

4) Did you ever take a break from writing for a long time? What motivated you to come back? Suggestions for someone else to get in practice?
God yes, been burned out several times. Coming back was easy, I just got the itch again and needed to scratch it. Coming back, I say jump. Don't think, just jump right in. Like getting into a cold pool on a hot day. The longer you take to get in the harder it is. Just jump in, scream, and then continue.

5) General suggestions for both newbies and oldies to improve their skills.
Keep trying no matter how far you come. Leave ego at the door. Close mouth, open mind.

Whats up? Anyone knows how to play Mutants and Masterminds 3rd edition?

Welcome to the forum. You will probably want to post in the Table Top section a bit further down if you are looking for something involving Mutants and Masterminds. Now, there might be someone willing to teach you how to run or play the TTRPG but do note this forum is more of a forum writing RPG site and while there are plenty of Rps that are based of table top ones things are very different there than your usual game night at home with piles of pizza boxes, empty cans of mountain dew, and the sound of dice hitting the table as your DM sits behind their screen plotting your demise. (Okay, maybe not that different but it's all text based here.)

Anywho, once again, welcome. ^^

Anisa Crowe

---

Location: Lady Luck: Table Main Room

---

The Captain of the rag tag crew simply nodded to her lead pilots words. She tended to think that everything was a con, it was probably one of the reasons that she had stayed alive as long as she had. She kept on the defensive to ensure if someone tried to drive a knife into her back she could turn around and shoot them in the chest first and see the look in their eyes as life left their body. It wasn't that Anisa was a sick and twisted homicidal maniac, even though they did look like everyone else, it was just that Anisa did not tolerate betrayal on any level and when it happened she acted swiftly and emotionally. It was personal then.

Now the next series of events were taken with a grain of salt. She had mentioned bringing on new people and Harper was just reminding her of that. She could accept that. He wasn't questioning her, he was advising her. Dorothy, like Harper, took the better road. She just warned the two about bibles. She wasn't offering them a job or anything. Then it went south and quickly. Daphne spoke. Anisa smirked at first and then spoke dryly. "No, other than mopin' about the ship for the last several days because you got demoted. Other than wanderin' off to leave people to do your job which in turn left your sister and our barber to run off after a stowaway and leavin' us even more short handed but you didn't know that did you because you were fuckin' off sight seein'. Shit, I would rather you have killed someone than turn your back on the crew like that," Anisa spat with an icy tone as she turned in her chair. It was a good thing that Harper was between the two of them right then because she would have just bitch slapped the girl right then and there for her attitude. Yeah, she hadn't technically done anything wrong. No what she had done was far worse. She had turned her back on her crew because she got exactly what she deserved. Demoted for acting like a child.

It seemed that Daphne wasn't done showing her ass. She went and offered a job to the stuttering bumble boy and then slipped in the captains permission to join as an after thought. That was the last straw. Anisa spared a half a second glance towards Dorothy as a warning that she was about to snap. Then all hell broke loose as it no longer mattered to the Captain that Harper was between her and Daphne. It mattered that the woman had the nerve to act like she had any authority on the ship, as if she hadn't done anything wrong. That shit would not stand. She might have just chewed her out if they weren't in front of people but this was going to pull into question her authority on her own damn ship and that she couldn't have. She had to put Daphne in her place, in front of god and everyone - right then.

And so she did. It half looked like Anisa as fallen off her chair as she faced Daphnes direction but she hadn't. She had merely slipped down off of it to kick out her leg between the legs of Harpers chair. This made it a simple thing to kick Daphnes chair out from under her and send her spilling out onto the floor before she could even have a chance to react or Harper an opportunity to stop her. (Rolls were made in chat for these actions.) Coming up and standing straight Anisa had pulled a gun and stepped around Harper as she eyed Daphne with fire. That look was well known by the longer standing members of the crew. This was usually the time that Anisa through someone out of an airlock when they were in the black. "Yi Dwei Da Buen Chuo Roh...I don't know who the hell you think ya are givin' out positions like that on my ship but that gonna stop right now. Yer Jei-Jei is the only reason I haven't fired yer ass yet but that stops right bloomin' now. Mei Yong Ma Duh Tse Gu Yong... I tried to school ya, teach ya, be the hard mother to ya that yer sister couldn't be and this is how ya gonna act?" Anisa said in a fiery voice as she pointed the gun at Daphnes head as she laid sprawled out on the ground.

Anisa was actually tearing up as she spoke and it wasn't clear if she was or was not going to pull the trigger. It was clear that the Captain had had enough. It probably didn't help they had just lost a ship, that Anisa had just lost Jackson; the last remaining friend from her planet which had been utterly destroyed by the Alliance. Didn't help she had been drinking. Yet tears? From Anisa? That was not something that happened.

(Rolls must be made for ANY actions BEFORE you post - PM me or hit me up in chat for rolls on declared actions. Failure to do so before posting will result in boot from RP. Let the games begin.)

Streets Of Cairo: The old woman nodded and smiled as she took the money from Mosi. Once the script had been exchanged her and her husband got to work on cutting the fabrics that Mosi had purchased. It wasn't long before everything was cut, bundled up nice and tight in brown paper and bound with twine. They ended up having a rather large stack and the old woman brought out a rather large bag that seemed to be made from reeds, similar to the many baskets that lined the streets of Cairo. Loading everything up into the bag the man set it down on the counter in front of Mosi. "T..thank you," he managed to eek out in English. "ﺷﻜﺮﺍﹰ جزيلاً," the woman said, seeming to echo her husbands words in their own language.

Rosheen peeked her head out of her window and looked down. "Are ya about done Lass?" she asked as she waved at Mosi once she spotted her still looking at the various fabrics while the couple were getting everything together.

Museum: Neema stood there eying Akhmed and then she shrugged. "As long as we can get into the archives, I don't care who carries the keys," Neema quipped as she stood there and the new comers came up. Neema had no idea who the woman was but it seemed that Akhmed did.

"Jo Darling? Queen of the silver screen! Oh by Allah!" he exclaimed. The man was star stuck. Coming up from behind the counter he held out his hand for hers as his other pressed to his own chest. "You are the 8th wonder of the world. I have seen all of your films at the theater, I never miss a debut. To think I have Miss Clark here, in my museum? Oh the pharaohs would have bent knee to a goddess such as yourself. Please, tell me, anything. What can I do to assist you?" he said, kissing her hand if she would allow him to do so.

Neema had to chew the inside of her mouth not to mock the man for his outburst. She just looked over towards Mahendra. "I think he is in love," she said under her breath so that only Mahendra could hear. Taking a breath she looked back over to Lauren. "Friends of yours? Maybe they can help us, the archives are large and I am sure it would make Lady Munn happy that we were able to search everything before she returns."

Vera, Peter, & George

Location: Egyptian Museum: Coat Check -> Streets of Cairo

Helping Nora into the wrap, Peter held out his arm for her to take before letting Vera and George lead the way out of the museum. George and Vera stood there as George held the door open for Peter and Nora. Peter gave a grateful smile towards his friend, trying to escort a woman with one arm ad lean on a cane with another could pose problematic from time to time. As they made their way down the stairs of the side entrance of the museum Peter chuckled somewhat. "Now, please. Do let me determine what my mind would find interesting and what it would not. I would suspect that I would get a right proper slap across the face if I would tell you how your own mind should work," he said with a right bit of mischievousness in his eyes as he smiled over towards her.

"If she wouldn't I would Peter," Vera chimed in as her and George made pace ahead of the two and lead the way, it was only fitting since Vera knew where the permit office was and she wasn't sure of Nora did. She was pretty confidant that Peter and George hadn't a clue.

"Mm, you tell him," George teased as he escorted Vera down the street.

"Ha! I would expect nothing less from you Vera darling," Peter laughed but turned his attention back to Nora. "Now this marking, please tell me about it. My uncle has filled me in on some of the happenings and I am piecing together a bit more in my mind. It sounds intriguing. The fact that Vera seems to hold you in high regard is even more so. She does not think well on most," he added and caught the daggers Vera shot him at the mention of her name.

"I never!" the bluestocking said, tripping over her own two feet as she tried to walk and talk while not even bothering to look where she as going. It was a good thing George caught her again, this time by the waist and swung her about in midsentence. It didn't look to even phase her as she was carried for a moment on his hip before being set back down.

"I only mean that you do not place a lot of stock in breeding, just brains my dear and far too many fall short of the mark to be able to keep up with a mind such as yours," Peter said with a charming grin on her lips.

"Flattery will get you now where with me Peter and if it were not for the fact that Miss Kingston there happens to be brilliant and accomplished in your field I would be much more irate currently," Vera spat as George coaxed her across the street. "Maybe that will shut him up," she said to George who smiled slightly from beneath his mask.

"Quite him no, change his turn.. mmm, yes," George said as they continued on their way towards the Permit office.

"My field? I dare not hope, you are a mathematician?" Peter asked as his eyed widened in delight.
