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."

Three had exited the ship this day, two of which that had been members of the crew for years. Many more had died over the course of recent events. They had even lost a ship. Despite all that, the Captain still had a crew. A moody but dependable Second, what her brother was the Captain still didn't know but they could figure that out later. There was a medical officer. A Pilot who could couple as an engineer in a pinch. Some sassy lady who the Captain felt was going to fit in just fine. A Security Officer. And even a Barber. Not to mention one more in the form of a frozen popcicle. Yeah that would have to be addressed at a later time. And then of course there was the ship - The Prometheus. Aptly named.

A wide eyed blonde Viking pulled his knees up to his chest and watched with excitement as the pretty lady came to the bridge and took point behind the pilot, her hand resting on the back of the chair. "Let get the fuck outta here," she said as she found solid footing for take off. Cyril bounced in his chair as the ship lifted off and gained speed, breaking atmo quickly. They were off and in the black in no time. Cyril loved being out there, at least in a ship, for now, because his sister was there, and the pretty lady. Thankfully he seemed too excited to talk to Jericho right then.

Down in the medical bay, the Doctor was prepping the body of the deceased Preacher so he was ready to be ejected into the black once they reached a point where the Captain wanted to do a funeral. Maybe she wouldn't. Maybe somethings were best left unsaid. There really were only two left on the ship that truly knew the man. Sometimes silence was the better option. Between the Captains mood and that new womans mouth he had no doubt that any funeral would be colorful. It would lead to drinking, drinking in the black could lead to many many bad things.

Cyril slowly climbed out of the chair and walked further forward, reaching out and touching the window. A small break in the steel so that they could see the 'Verse beyond their home. "It'th tho big," he said in awe. He had seen it before but it didn't matter. Every time he got to see the vastness he looked at it with Childlike wonder. It was new again. Perhaps there was something to be said for his condition. Innocence was bliss at times.

Anisa was slightly envious. She remembered the first time she flew in The Vengeance. She felt the same. Yet things were different back then. Dorothy was with her as was Jackson. She glanced back over her shoulder, half hoping that Dorothy was standing there waiting for orders like she always had been but no. She was on the docks. With her sister and the boy toy. The docks would be bustling right then. People running here and there, not knowing what had just gone down. Maybe they would find a ship. Maybe they would be okay. Maybe they would see each other one day again. No one ever knew what the 'Verse had in store.

They were headed for Babylon. While the moon wasn't named for the story from Earth Old, it was named for a Town that was named from the story. The town was the stuff of legend and nightmares. Out beyond what most people knew, settled by people that no one spoke about. Very much like where they were headed now. To the rim, the edge of the known 'Verse. To Babylon. What awaited them there, no one knew. Well maybe someone did...

"Captain... We have a problem....

It seemed that there were offers for a seat from more than just him. Glancing to his right he spotted the woman with the blue hair and grinned. "Now that is a tough choice, even for me," he said with a chuckle as he scratched the back of his neck. As the new comer arrived he glanced at him and shrugged as he walked past. "Better grab a seat, they're going fast." It was a rather obvious remark and the man sat himself down in the second to last seat.

He was abandoned for less green pastures from the looks of it. "Couldn't make it through the gate on your own and you want to hold another in your lap? Now that's some funny shit," he laughed with the brightest of smiles. Shaking his head and slapping his knee. There was a long line of repressed chortles as the man got comfortable and rested one ankle over a knee. Granted his attentions were towards Kindle as the seat she wanted was taken and she had to start coming back his way. She wasn't coming back to him, she found another seat.

His brow quirked a bit as he watched. The dogs barking perking his ears. Glancing towards the gate he took notice of yet another arriving but it seemed all the seats were taken currently. "Well ain't this a hoot," he said under his voice as he scratched his chin, watching and waiting to see just what was going to happen with this bit of circumstance.

There was a long look given to the late arriver. "That you are son." It was a simple enough statement to the obvious as Cas turned away and shook his head somewhat. The carriages that remained behind were being tended to, as were the horses. All in quick order on the outside of the gate. Leo took the mans invitation and waved him in. Everything outside the gates seemed to be in order, inside the gate however it was a completely different scenario. What was starting to unfold could hardly be described as being calm.

Seemed there was a bit of an uproar about seats and even one man taking out his frustrations on Owen. Owen narrowed his eyes slightly but gave a tight vexed smiled. "But of course m'ord, anythan' for ya m'ord," he said sweetly as he began to sit back down. Leo glanced over at Owens words.

"Owen, don'tyabe..." he said in his squeak of a voice. Owens glare turned towards Leo. Mouthing something else behind the invitations Owen sat down slowly and gave the biggest grin with a bit of a chuckle. One dog and then another started barking until they all were. Cas looked over at a portly man with long greasy black hair who was tending to one of the carriages. They seemed to exchange some words and a nod between them.

March 24th, 1823

Scotland



Port Annan: The port city was bustling. They were used to ships coming in from the west and deliveries coming in from the north. That was common but today ships were coming in from the South. That wasn't normal. This was a trading city, and a small one. This wasn't a dock side getaway location. There were more people than normal. It seemed that several ships had docked from the south today carrying passengers trying to get away from the Soulless attacks to the south. Word was they were spreading and heading north. This could mean trouble at the ports and borders.

The door of the tavern inn was pushed open and Lord Rutherford looked around at the crowded room, Millicent stepped in behind him. She looked like she had spent the evening out in the elements. Her hair was down and covering part of her facial features. She was glad of this considering everything that had transpired. A man at the bar looked over. "Top of the mornin' to ya, I be Nigel, owner of Teriny Inn, what can I do fer ya?" he asked as he snapped his clean up rag against the bar top and then tucked it in his belt.

"A meal for three would be grand," Rutherford said.

"Oh yes, right away, we are a bit busier than normal but please have a seat and I will have the missus fix you up something right quick," he said as he motioned towards the only left open table by the window looking out to the busy street beyond. Rutherford nodded and lead Millicent over to a seat. He sat with his back to the window, leaving the seat at the end of the table open and placing Millicent across from him. She wasn't going to complain, at least she could look beyond Richard and see the world outside.

Kirkpatrick House (Annan): Turning the fumbling father tripped over his own two feet and nearly rammed his head into the banister before catching himself. "Yes, afternoon Miss O'Connor, I hope you are settling in right nice and that the family is treating you well," he said as he fumbled with his hat nervously and dropped it. Picking it up he knocked the back of his head on the banister.

"Would you get your bumbling buffoon of a self into the tea room!" Lady Kirkpatrick bellowed from down the hall. Callum cringed a bit and looked over at Maeve, trying to smile before he darted off on his lanky legs. He didn't get far before he tripped, again! On the edge of the runner on the floor and slid straight face first into the tea room. "How in the name of god are you still breathing?"

"Grace of God M'Lady," he said as he crawled over to a chair and up into it. The table was set for tea with snacks available lined out on the white linen. "Oh my, would you like a scone?"


England



London: Oh this was nice, very nice. Such a grand view. The world like this when one was so small. No sleep, no sleep would be expand and expand would mean rip and tear of bags. Heavy too heavy. Would slow them down. Awake, must stay awake. No problem. Far too glad to fall asleep. This was exciting. Traveling on a horse without having to ride a horse. He hated riding horses. Mighty steeds were far better but over long distances, mighty steeds grew tired. Dieter, his ferret not his brother, would grow very tired. Could not have that.

Pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose, one hand rested along the sewn edge before he dipped down and started rummaging through the saddle bag. "Oh this is nice, yes, I could borrow. Not steal. Borrow. Yes, borrow I am and borrow I must be. Stealers make mad, borrows make glad. Always glad. Vlad must be glad, not mad," he said to himself before climbing back to the top of the bag. Standing on Dieters, his ferret not his brother, back and looking around. Holding up a sunflower seed. "Vlad the Glad, borrow this I can?" he asked. Borrowers asked, he'd give back, when done. Eventually. It was a might seed for the mighty steed.

The Sea: There was quite the crew on board, one small girl rushing towards them. Her fiery red hair stark against the sky behind her. "I 'ots ya," she said as she wrapped the rough dark blanket around Collette. "Where's da other one?" she asked in a thick Irish accent.

"Marco's 'ot him," the man that had rescued Collette said as he jumped over the railing and onto the deck of the ship. Shaking out his long dark hair he gave look towards the others before kneeling down. "Breathe lass, ain't nothin' 'onna harm ye here," he said as he cupped her cheeks and turned her head gently this way and that. "Just be checkin' ya, makin' sure ye ain't toos bad offs."

"Captains comin'," the man who had yelled for the blanket said before clearing his throat and taking a step back. The crowd that had formed parted as the winds kicked up. The heavy sound of boots could be heard over waves and the wind. The figure was slender with thigh high dark boots that covered the majority of tanned leather fitted trousers before giving away to back silk and a basket hilted sword on a curvy hip. Bright blue eyes on a stern feminine face could be seen as her oceans deep blue and black hair whisped around her, silver streaks framing around her features.

"We gots a breather Cap, and Marco be brin'in' anuder through the strai'hts soon enough," the one checking Collette said without looking back. The captain didn't say anything, just walking over to the rail and looking towards the sea. Looking back at Collette he took her hands. "Come on lass, lets be gettin' ya yer sealegs. Steady now, Silvio got ya."



The Road North: The winds kept kicking up around them as the storm raged on where it was, continuing to travel in the same direction. As they reached the tree line it would be hard to see through the vegetation and pace would have to slow to work ones way through it on horseback or foot. Further back the trees were on fire and burning white hot, the smoke trailing up to the sky. The heat was intense, even twenty feet from the flames that crawled up the trunks of the trees. There was a loud crackling sound that erupted from inside one of the trunks. It sounded like thunder from a direct lightning strike it was so loud. Mary's horse held his ground thankfully even though startled. He would not buck them off.

One of the trees began to fall but once again thankfully they were not hurt. It fell in the opposite direction but the shake of the ground was intense and the sound of it crashing even more so. The fire continued to burn but held only to those few trees burned, the flora beneath them didn't but it did smolder. Could have been that way for many reasons - for explainable and unexplained.
