Bio

✾ 𝙻𝚊𝚍𝚢 𝙰𝚋𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚊
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."

Year 5: Part 2 Update

Date: July 22nd, 2012
Map in Original OOC post - NPC's In CS Tab

Location: Camp Mexico Beach: H6 (Quarantine: W) -> H6 (In Front of W)

Temperature: 87F
Humidity: High (Around 83%) - No Rain
Wind Speed: 15 MPH
Cloud Coverage: Overcast

Panama shouldered his weapon now that these people had been accepted. He looked over towards Wayne as he asked Thana if he should be singing tonight and grinned. "Shit, of course we're draggin' her ass on stage," he said before pulling his toothpick from his teeth. "Hey, come on Sparrow, you and I ain't sung together since Texas," he added before looking over towards Amelia and Riley. "Hell loved to but don't think we know any of yer songs. Been listening, Shears had us listen. Maybe we could get together for a jam session later in the week. Teach us a few," Panama offered. "What ya think Bass?" he asked as he looked over towards the tall thug looking man.

"Sure thang, if ya want ma'am," he said towards Riley. Then he turned his attention towards Nikki. "Oh your off duty now right? I gotta take your side arm and turn it in," he said holding out his hand.

"Fuck...right, back to inventory with me," Nikki grumbled as she unfastened her hostler and handed the whole thing over to Bass. "Well was fun while it lasted," she added as she pulled out an old worn pack of gum and popped a piece in her mouth. "So, Sparrow, what ya going to sing?" she asked as she rushed over towards Thana and wrapped an arm around the womans waist, looking up at her like a kid sister.

Bass chuckled watching Nikki before he and Panama headed out. Once outside they headed across the street and went on their way. Both talking about music and how they needed to get their gear down to the beach this afternoon. Major stayed with the group but she did hand over her rifle to Bass before he left so he could check it in. She was still packing a side arm but it seemed to be more like the general issue that some people in CMB carried.

Joaquin walked over towards Thalia and grinned. "I must away but I will seek thee out for we have much to reminisce and time is far to precious to let another moon take to heavens without us partaking in a Agave toast between siblings," he said with his usual flair as he walked with her. The man was odd, even for a Gonzalez, but he did seem happy to see his sister.

Outside of Quarantine, waiting on the group, was Atticus with Tram. He grinned as he hopped out. Daytona was sitting in the driver seat and she smiled at the group as they came out. "Hey everyone, pile in. Gonna give you the tour and then get you settled. Thought this would be better than walking. Go ahead, pile in, take a load off."



Thana Martin


Location: Camp Mexico Beach: Quarantine (W: Conference Room) -> H6 (In Front of W)
Skills: N/A


Thana wasn't surprised by Beatrice wanting her to continue the O Wars. They had been a bit of a moral booster while they were on the road. Once Beatrice was gone and Victor had been lead away, the only thing left was to get these people out of Quarantine. Major was holding the door open for them. Thana's brow perked at Wayne's words. A video of her? With? Oh, that video. She had forgotten about it until then. She hadn't seen the thing in years but she wasn't surprised that it was still floating around. Her grandfather had always gone to great length to keep things that were important to him close. Pictures and videos were on the top of that list. And this was where the family vacationed while she was growing up. Logically it made sense it was still around. Though the fact they had seen it was surprising. Her eyes going towards Ash and she let out a slow breath.

"Maybe, one, fer old times sake." She spoke plainly when she answered. She didn't seem put off about the idea but she didn't seem excited either. One song, maybe. It would mostly depend on what her grandfather wanted. She had to admit to herself that it could be fun. Panama was part of the small group that she used to sing with from time to time. She didn't sing often but when her and Gavin were together he'd get her too more often. Rest in peace Gavin. She let Nikki lean against her as they walked. She rolled her eyes some and looked down at Nikki. "I gots an idea," she said but left it at that and motioned for Nikki to go ahead and head out. "Go on now, Auntie's gonna need help fer tonight." Nikki nodded and headed out the door. Dropping her skateboard on the side walk and rolling down the street.

Walking outside Thana spotted Atticus there with the tram. She didn't need the tour, she had had it. She knew the place. Atticus had the tour and getting everyone settled in. That meant one thing to her, she could relax for a bit. If anything, at least go with them until they got to a place where she needed to check on before this evening. Lacing her fingers with Ash she headed over to the Tram and climbed in. Taking a seat she brushed her hair back out of her face and got comfortable. It had been a hell of day so far, hell of a year. At least things seemed to be calming down.



Tatiana Newnan


Location: Camp Mexico Beach: Quarantine (W: Conference Room) -> H6 (In Front of W)
Skills: N/A


Tatiana glanced over towards Jack's paper as he showed it to her. Reading it over before her eyes drifted up to his. Her lips curling into a slight smirk. "You vear heart on sleeve," she said before leaning up and kissing Jack's cheek. Jack wasn't exactly one of those people that hid things or tried to hide what he was feeling. It was one of the things that drew her to him. He was open. What you saw was what you got. The fact he put her at ease when they met and made her feel safe was another. It seemed like a life time ago. Back in that little house, before Newnan. Trying to teach the man how to dance, playing monopoly, him sporting that Lisa Frank Rainbow backpack. He was so goofy, and happy, and made her happy. Thinking back on it, she wondered if that house still stood in Carrollton, with their initials wrapped in a heart on the wall and a map left behind just in case.

"Right vhere it belongs," she added before leaning up and scooping up Jamie into her arms. Propping him on her hip she glanced over towards Wayne and if she had a free hand she would have face palmed. The man had no tact but then again, he was funny in his own way. Shaking her head a bit she walked out the door of Quarantine, following the others, and squinting as the sunlight hit. It was a good thing it was overcast, it at least cut down on the brightness. It was hot but she didn't mind it. It could be hotter and it was nice to be out of the building. Seeing Atticus with the vehicle she quirked a brow. It was like some tour bus. Hell if it meant they didn't need to walk that was fine with her. Walking over she got in the next row back from Thana and slipped into a seat, moving over to the other side so Jack would have plenty of room next to her. Resting Jamie on her knee she bounced him slightly. He seemed happy, babbling and looking around now that his eyes were adjusting to the light.



Wayne Maldonado


Location: Camp Mexico Beach: Quarantine (W: Conference Room) -> H6 (In Front of W)
Skills: N/A


Okay, the woman may or may not sing. The singer, rockstar, whatever she was probably wouldn't since they didn't know her music. And then there was this Hispanic something? "Shakespeare in the fucking park," Wayne laughed as he listened to Joaquin speak to Thalia. He couldn't stop chuckling. It was the funniest thing he had seen, well since Beatrice body checked Hunter on day one. Okay, he liked this place. Well he already liked this place. They had food. They had air conditioning. They had hot water. And they had two very comfortable recliners. Oh yeah, he was so going to work some extra hours to get one of those. Maybe two, if his hetero life mate kept being the ray of sarcastic sunshine he was.

The fact he needed to do therapy didn't surprise him. Shit, he needed that and more, made evident as he swatted at the air. Now the fact they wanted Hank for psychology made him fall out laughing. "Thank you for coming to the CMB Psychward. Straitjackets on the left, padded rooms on the left. Doctor Hank Wright will see you now." He was having a hard time containing his laughter. "What seems to be your problem son." "Well I just feel like the world doesn't like me and I don't love myself." "Shut the fuck up! Next!" "Oh my god, he told me to shut the fuck up, no one ever told me that before. I feel so much better about myself," Wayne went on mocking the idea.

Once Wayne had finally calmed down he cleared his throat and nodded. "Shit, after years with me you are probably the best hope we got," he admitted. Being around Wayne wasn't exactly easy. Shrugging he followed the others out and grinned when he spotted Daytona in the driver seat. "Oh mama," he grinned as he climbed in. The first two rows were already taken so he slipped into the third. He was ready to get his tour on. Things were looking up.

New York, New York, USA: November 5th, 1943

Babylon Fortress, Cairo, Egypt: October 6th, 1924- Maybe? Maybe Not?

Special Note: That Haze will remain until further notice, so make sure to keep to it. ^_^
Okay, all weird types of shit is happening. We got one person smelling sulfur. Now, normally if one is under where there is supposed to be a military base in the late 1800's/early 1900's this isn't a huge thing. Throw in that we now have one Emendator telling us that you are not under said barracks, that could be a problem. Not to mention the smell of sulfur for Emendators is never a good thing. It's like hearing a woman go "fine", a redneck yelling "Hey y'all watch this", or the house going quiet with a toddler in it. It never ends well. Smell of sulfur for an Emendator usually only means one thing - Destruere. And on top of all of this, we are losing the top of the damn cave/tunnel/building. Like it is being faded out by some demented peeping Tom with Photoshop World 2.0,just turn that layer mask off. (Forgive me I haven't had enough coffee today.)

So yeah, red flags. Bad things. More people are going to start smelling the sulfur now. More voices are coming your way - "Vera, Lady Munn?"

"One bullet might not. Twenty might, I'd bloody wager. I'm after supplies, who's with me?"

"I'm not sure - others like me are near."

"Your ass should be fucking dead I killed you a mother fucking year ago!"

"...Are we dead?"

"Duck and cover fuckers!"

Peter feels as if his head is about to spin off as it keeps snapping left and right, trying to see where the voices are coming from.Turning left, turning right, looking up, looking down. Yet, all the while, while he is looking he hasn't noticed something personal. The edges of his fingers and the top of his head seems to be pulling the same magic act that the ceiling is going through. Did someone snap their fingers?

Not the biggest of gush moments but one worth taking a few moments for, ^^. Major props go out to my peeps of Machiavellian Masquerade: @Sigil @Nallore @Morose @Rivaan @Romero @Bluesky44 @Natsu @FantasyChic. Today we get to celebrate the RP being 1 year old. ^__^ It has been a bumpy road but things smoothed out and the group stuck it out! I cannot wait to see what happens next. Burn the place down? Start a mob? Get the last person out of confinement? Who knows, hell sometimes I don't lol. Either way, year 1 down, here is to many more to come!

Now, Swamp is figuring out some very interesting things by looking around the room and putting two and two together. But he knows what he knows. (Results for Swamp Pmed) Amaranthine nods slightly to the doctors words but she is unsure of what she can do to figure out what is going on in this place. "I fear unless you wish me to charm my way into answers I may prove rather useless to such endeavors," the woman admitted as she looked around slowly. Her head tilting to one side and then the other. He said he knew things earlier, if this were true then he knew where the majority of her talents lay and perhaps where some other were but things like this was most likely not one of them.

Taking a deep breath she turned and looked towards the door. "It has been some time and it is growing cold," she said before looking back over to Dr. Swamp. It was getting colder in the room. Not as quickly as perhaps some of the other rooms but the fact that the gas lights were out now was starting to have an affect on this room now and she was hardly wearing something that would protect her from the cold. Cloaks had been turned over on entering the manor. A brow raised as she looked away and at the door that lead down the stairs. "Maybe we should move, remaining could just mean freezing to death." Granted she wasn't sure if that made any sense but if they were to run into someone perhaps she could convince them they were just trying to get warm.

A Little Light: Part 4

*Remember, roll request can be placed at the bottom of the post and results will be posted in the next update. While the door is open now, it is still dark - so rolls will be needed to move around. Those with low light will get bonuses to moving around and such with their rolls.

Now, normally rolling a 1 is a bad thing but in this Rp, of course it is what we are aiming for. Cobalt hits a 1 and is finally able to get the fuck out of confinement and into the next room. He does well enough to get around people and make his way over to the next door on the east side of the room with the windows. Thank fucking god that is finally over because one more utter failure and I was going to put him out of his misery lol.

Sadly for Rave, she isn't as lucky. In fact she fails her movement roll almost as much as Cobalt succeeded. Back on her ass, that wound in her leg, yes, let's blame it on that. It is stiff, painful, hard to move. She was after all stabbed in the leg, let us over look the fact she did it to herself - it is making it hard for her to move. Maybe someone can give the lady a hand? Or leave her there to die. It's up to you, lol.

While Cobalt was hot in his roll, and Rave was cold in hers, Moss seems to be right down the center. I'm suddenly craving porridge. Anyways, nothing big in this roll but he does manage to follow Cobalts footsteps and get to other side of the room and just behind him as he reaches the door and is doing well enough not to run into the man when he comes to a stop. So yay, all good there.

Sometimes people need to get moving and see what they can do to survive. Fight or flight type of responses to dangerous situations. And sometimes people need to stay right where they are or they could make matters worse. It was something that people needed to think on, hard, weigh the pros and cons. Well as we had established, Titian isn't exactly one of the great minds in this world but he does tend to go with his gut and his gut usually pays off. Right then his gut was telling him this bread and cheese was really damn good and the small wine skin he found was just perfect to wash it down with. Hey, a man's gotta eat right? Fill the hump when you can, hell everything with Titian was hump while you can - either fill it or do it. He was a man of action.

And right then his action was swallowing the mouthful of food he was chewing. Thing was, even if he didn't know it, staying right where he was. Somewhere warm with food, was actually a good choice. People were milling around out there. They were talking, gossiping and he was hearing plenty. A lot more than he probably should. It may have been better if others were listening with him, as they probably would have put two and two together faster or at least tried to put two and two together. Right now he was just getting a lot of information. If he could use it later, maybe it would keep him alive. Maybe it wouldn't but hey, no one was bothering him. No one to feed meant people were not checking the pantry. He was save for another round.

Scotland



Gretna Green (Church): Oh a battle, in the middle of a fight. Let us address the rolls for now. Constantin is able and ready to defend Veta should the need arise. We will see if there is a need for it in a few. William is kind of ready, isn't exactly in a position to defend Ny but hey, he's kind of there. Unfortunately for Virginia, she had no idea on how to take the information that Constantin has provided and as a very awesome captain once said, "make it so." Now, over with Maeve, she is showing that Gingers really are useful people as when she uses her Riada she stuns the fuck out of the creature and it stays in place still! Hot damn, maybe it is a break for the group. Poor Vlad, his Mamaushka isn't as on point this round and he will just make it to the alter by the end of the round, sorry, no throwing this time.

Now on to the rest. Thank god, Veta nat 20ed. "Drive back onto alter!" she yells as her arms make a sweeping motion down and pull back as if she is grabbing and tugging something. The birds turn and start pulling the burning tapestry towards the altar. The creature starts being pulled back, too stunned to be able to fight back from the sudden change in direction. Ny goes to throw his dagger again but the smoke is getting thicker and he has to move out of the way some and back off to the left to try to put some distance between him and the smoke. Millicent, takes a leap of faith, and drops her weapon. Gathering the folds of her skirt and listens to what Veta yelled. Utilizing Fu Mei (17), she charges the creature, planting a foot on a pew as she does and using her speed to drive herself forward. "Let go Colette!" she yells, grabbing a hold of the rope that is attached to the dagger Colette got wedged into the beast and spinning around behind the creature as she lands and pulls back.(20) Colette will be unable to hold on if she tries, which is good. Not stopping, Millicent pulls back. The creature stumbles back, unable to fight against the attack (1) and flies back, crashing onto the alter. Millicent dives out of the way and Constantin will be able to grab Veta and pull her out of the way in time.
