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."

Note: Okies, dinner is wrapping up and people if they haven't already moved out are not. There is general chit chat going on about the party tonight. Some are going back to their places to get ready, others are going back to work, some are just hanging out and walking about.



Thana Martin


Location: Camp Mexico Beach: L5 -> M5
Skills: N/A


Glancing around, it seemed that the groups that had come together for quarantine were starting to split back up. Some people here and there were staying close to their original groups, others seemed to be trying to mix it up. Thana caught site of Nikki leaving with Hunter and quirked a brow, wondering what was up with that. The wondering stopped though as Ash came over to her and knelt down a bit. "Our place," she said before stepping behind him and draping her arms over his shoulders. It sounded a little odd to refer to any place as their place. When she got to Newnan he had a house and even though they had decided to try to room together, well that never really got underway so she still looked at it as his place. Now, sure it had been her room but she came in, she left, she came back, it wasn't even really her place in her own mind. Now, it was theirs. Felt odd but it was still as good as a descriptor as any. Better than rattling off the room number and building. That was too impersonal, even for her.

Thana pressed her knees against Ash's waist and tucked her feet back some as he stood up. Holding on as best she could while they left the Mess Hall and headed towards the Officers Building just next store. Hearing Thalia, Thana blurted out. "1¡No! ¡Eso no es algo que alguien necesite ver! ¡Nunca!" she yelled and shook her head adamantly. Talk of Speedo's was never good. She had just gotten the image of Wayne in one out of her head, not she had one of The Goat. This was turning into a bad day for having any sort of imagination or memory. Cringing she leaned in tight against Ash and rested her chin on his shoulder. "Get me the hell outta here before I get any more bad visuals," she muttered under her breath. With as many people were in town, it would be easy enough to get another visual and Thana just ate. Maybe not a lot but she had ate and she didn't want to loose her dinner.

Nikki's head spun a little as she heard one of the new people calling out. Nikki didn't speak a lick of Spanish but she could pick out the man's name. Her brow went up as she popped a bubble with her gum, wondering just what in the hell was being said. She was about to ask when Hunter started talking.

Spinning around in place, Nikki shook her head a bit before shrugging. "Nope, has to be on a leash unless in designated play areas during designated times. And that's just to come and go. Otherwise in your place. Doesn't matter how well behaved she is," she said before skipping a few times. As he mentioned a lot of rules she stopped jumping and bobbing and skipping, giving him a little bit of an odd look. "No more than any other gated community had before the outbreak. Hell the world in general. You can only go here or there. People just didn't think about all the rules we followed every just living before. Shit didn't cross our minds."

Alright it might have been a bit more than that but Nikki was trying to make a point. Before the outbreak you still only could go in certain areas. You couldn't go into other peoples jobs or homes without reason, places had gates and keys, pets weren't allowed in many areas, guns weren't allowed in a lot of places, people needed permits, etc. This was just a larger society pushed together into a smaller area. Things had to be more defined. And after 5 years with no laws, people had to be retaught just what society was. Granted, Nikki had to have the same explained to her when she first got there.

"Anyways, some peoples gots allergies, some have fears. Easier to restrict where a pet it than a human. I get ya love her but here, 300 people matter more than 1 pet. Be glad it ain't like some groups I saw before comin' here. She wouldn't be a pet, she'd be dinner." It was a harsh reality but there it was.

Hearing Thana yell out, Nikki wiped her head about. "What the hell you going on about?!?!" she yelled but she wasn't waiting around for an answer. Reaching out and tugging on Hunters sleeve and motioning south east. "Come on."


Ludwig Zimmer


Location: The In-Between: Plains between River and Cave
Skills: N/A


There is a flash of a smile from Ludwig as he cradled his journal to his chest as if it was a precious baby, patting it on its back and bouncing it lovingly as he spun around with loose joints. The man was like a walking weeble-wobble. "Know things? So many things! I love things! And people! And places! And things! Many things! Knick-knacks, patty wacks! Get that dog a bone," he said pointing towards the tiger but giggling instead. "Tiger, a bone. Might steed, not as mighty as Dieter. My ferret not my brother, but good steed. I think, maybe. If let me ride?" he seemed to ask. The tiger seemed to growl. "Maybe? Yes! Maybe, for things!" The tiger seemed content around Virginia.

Whatever attention that Ludwig had been paying towards Gilbert was quickly side trekked at Virginia spoke to him. "Well..." he started but then seemed to snap out of it as he opened his journal and quickly starting thumbing through the pages. "Well, well, well, well," he said over and over and over again. Flipping page after page after page. Stopping he shoved his finger into his book and exclaimed, "WELL!" before turning the book around so Virginia could see it. It was a page and a drawing of a well, with flowers like the one Elizaveta had drawn in the dirt surrounding and climbing up it. There were words written but they weren't in a language that Virginia knew. Gothic was a trained language.

Pushing his glasses up from the tip of his nose. "One man trash is another's treasure. One's life is one's death. One's mad is anothers glad. One heaven is another hell. Just flip a coin," he said with a grin as stood there, his finger still tapping on the image of the well that he was showing Virginia.

Now the objects that Virginia picks up, the dirt starts rubbing off of them as she examines them. It is a set of dice. Very old, very worn. As far as she can remember through the stories there is no mention of dice with Belladonna but then again there is probably a lot the family doesn't know about the woman. Though, those from PE will instantly recognize the dice that Virginia is holding: they are Eve's.



Kyra Altham


Location: PE Fade Between
Skills: Animal Control (Wolf)


Bart introducing himself received a tad of a head bob from Kyra, it seemed to be about as much as she gave towards any real movement as far as facial expressions went. That was until he started asking specifics. She hadn't considered it. Her eyes went up for a moment, as if she was in thought. She noticed a lot of things, taking in her surroundings and such but she really didn't pay attention to them if they weren't a danger to her. Her hand came up, leveling her palm off at her own head. Slowly she rose it a few inches above herself. "Taller," she said in a monotone fashion before lowering her her hand. (Quick reference, Nancy is shorter than Kyra. Evelina is taller is Kyra.)

The man who called himself a fire walker seemed to be going on about death. She snapped her finger and Ash looked at her. Licking his own nose he started sniffing around, mostly at the feet of those that were there before looking back to her. Her brow lifted. "Says you're not dead," she said looking at Constantin. "Blights, Soul-eaters," she said as he mentioned some creatures and described them.

Then he kept talking and telling of where he was before the snap. Her eyes went back up again, as if she was trying to remember something that hadn't been of interest to her in a very long time if ever. She had a look on her face like she was trying to get together a bibliography for a book report. After a minute something seemed to click. Lifting her hand she pointed her finger in a direction. "Typlyon's Ruins. Six days journey," she said dryly before lowering her hand.

More talking but Kyra wasn't putting more in right then, other than to repeat herself about the Blights and Soul-eaters as the Destruere were mentioned. Mahendra is trying to figure out just what is going on by looking at the dirt. Guess this is what a soothsayer would call a dry tea reading, lol. Anyways. Talk of end times seems to actually be avoided much in Egyptian Myth from what he can remember. That they try not to give details on end times because they felt it would bring it about. The whole creating the whole thing you are trying to avoid by trying to avoid it. There are whispers about Coffin Texts and that after many cycles it will finally end though - maybe that is why there is so much in one place that shouldn't be. Renewing.



Elizaveta Romanova


Location: DttS Fade Between
Skills:


The Baron seemed to be pushing for them to keep moving with him and following him. This did not sit well with Elizaveta. Yet there seemed to be nothing she could do right then if the woman wanted to go with him. She didn't seem to be under a spell or anything. Maybe she was up to something as well? Women had to do what they had to do to survive usually and if the woman had an idea she wasn't going to get in the way but then again the other woman with her didn't seem to like this Baron person anymore than she did.

Sighing a bit, this was one of those times that Elizaveta wished her Tretiy Glaz would kick in but that wasn't how it worked. It usually came at the oddest times with the oddest of messages that didn't make sense until after everything unfolded. Her people were missing, she was in a strange land, and the closest thing she had to a friend was a man she had met on the road just hours before. Keeping her hand on the hilt of her blade she looked up at the sky. Dark, no stars from what she could see. Not that if she could see them it would help but it would have been nice to see a star or two.

All things considered she nearly cast Vyzov, a flock of birds could be useful but then again, this thing, this Baron, she didn't know what he was but she knew there was something dark that didn't sit right with her. Perhaps she should just bide her time. It was the best she could do for now. Looking towards William she asked him, "follov or go alone?" Should they go with this Baron and the other women or strike out alone and try to find the people they had shown up in this place with.
