✾ 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."

Notes: As going through testimony is going to take time please feel free to combine multiple characters into one post. You will only be required to do a minimal of 2 well developed paragraphs even if you combine. This should make it easier to post. Only thing I ask beyond that is if your character is active (being questioned, ect.) to give me a bit more to work it.

Mess Hall (C): Guy chuckled a little bit. "Yeah, it was a bit surprisin'," he admitted. "I mean I've run into water logged ones in the past, rivers and lakes but nuthin' like this. Could have used one of yer traps out there I think," he said with a shy smile as he continued to eat slowly between breaks in the conversation. "I'm not sure what they're doin' out there. Doubt they know either," he laughed. "Thinkin' they followed somethin' out in the water, then the noise they made splashing just got more to follow. Like any hoard. Once they were out there no control over where they went and just ended up floatin' with the tide," he guessed. He really had no idea but it made sense enough.

"Hey that's a good idea. Get the kids interested in buildin' thangs," Guy added to her idea. "Might wanna talk to what's their names, um over in mechanics... Volts and Tesla? Ain't they always buildin' somethan?" he asked. He had been in the camp a decent enough time but still there were a lot more people in Mexico Beach when compared to Newnan and he was out a lot recently. It was hard to keep up. "Oh um, ya know Bos..." he stopped himself. "I mean, Ash, one of the new guys. He was in the army, one of them engineers. Maybe he got some ideas," he suggested.

Taking a a drink from his glass, he set it down. It was nice to just sit and be able to talk to someone. Medic wasn't exactly known for being a conversationalist. The man knew things but he rarely shared. Guy would try talking but he would mostly be talking to himself and getting a head nod or a shrug from time to time. It got to be rather boring. There was a small blush that came to his cheeks. "Yeah, it's a date," he said before his eyes widened. "I mean, it sounds good. Not like a date date, like an appointment. Ugh... Not an appointment, a... a.. I got nuthin'," he stammered. "I um... well... yeah... tomorrow..." He was stumbling over himself and he knew it. Standing up he grabbed his tray. "Um, see ya later, tomorrow." He grinned sheepishly before making a hast retreat to bus his tray.

The Court Martial Of Hunter Monroe
Location: Education Center: Auditorium (M)
Charges: Food Waste - 7.22.2012 | Drunken Disorderly - 7.22.2012
Failure To Report To Duty At Designated Time - 7.23.2012 | 10-886 Absence Without Leave - 7.23.2012

The General sat there and nodded. He didn't know what choice Hunter would take. He had not met him directly or ever spoken to him directly. Macsen had put him under arrest, Maddoc had been the one to speak to him. The General had never said a direct word to him, only spoken to the group as a whole when they arrived, nothing more. The two he had spoken with directly were sitting there in the crowd that would have to give testimony, Ash and Alexander. "Very well, please have a seat and we will begin," Aeron said and nodded towards Joaquin. There was a seat on the stage reserved for Hunter and he was directed there. Once Hunter was seated the court martial began fully.

"We will go through the charges, one at a time. Testimony will be given for each," the Professor explained as she stood up. "You will be called as needed to testify. Note that you will be sworn in, if it is found you are misrepresenting any testimony you will end up in the same position as Mr. Monroe and be facing far worse punishment," she said as she glanced through the room. In other words if someone lied they were going to be in it deeper than Hunter was. "You may be called multiple times if you were witness to multiple situations. You will still under oath until the conclusion of this court martial." Meaning that just because they had a break in testimony didn't mean they could lie later and get away with it. "First Charges will be dealt with together as they seem to run hand in hand: Drunken Disorderly and Food Waste."

Pulling out a sheet of paper she glanced over it before looking over the top rim of her glasses and peering out into the crowd. "First witness: Nikola Warren." Nikki's eyes widened. She hadn't expected to be called first. She could feel eyes on her and it caused her to gulp and swallow her gum suddenly. "Come to the stand." Nikki nodded, placing her hand on the back of the chair in front of her and slowly rising from her place. She felt nervous, which was unlike her. She was usually rather fearless, to the point it caused her to write checks her ass couldn't cash. Walking forward though she found herself tugging slightly at her her shirt and rubbing her hands, which had become sweaty, down her pants legs as she walked up on stage. Her eyes went to Hunter and she seemed to give him a look that said she was sorry for what was about to happen. Stepping over to the witness chair, the Professor walked around from behind the table and held up her hand, Nikki did the same. There was no bible to swear on, many people didn't believe anymore. "Do you swear to tell the truth and understand that if you do not you will face Court Martial Charges and punishment that could be as far as exile or execution for misleading the court and your fellow townfolk?"

"I... Yes..." Nikki said before having a seat. She knew the question was coming. The town always made sure you know what went down if you broke the rules.

"Mr. Monroe has been charged with drunken disorderly and food waste. Where you witness to these?" The Professor asked. Nikki nodded. "Answer out loud please."

"Yes."

"Tell us what you saw."

"He was drunk, there, can I go?"

The Professor took a deep breath and continued. "No, tell us how you knew he was drunk."

"Stumbling and slurring his words, or well, was rambling."

"Give us an example." Nikki didn't like this. The guy was drunk at the time, he probably didn't even remember what he said, why bring it up? "Miss Warren, give us a detailed example of what you are referring."

Nikki grumbled and sat up more. "Fine, kept telling me I reminded him of Lucy." The Professor quirked a brow and motioned for her to continue. She wasn't letting up and it was making Nikki angry. "Oh fuck, fine. Asked if I was only pretending to like him, asked if it was because Maddog or the General told me to do it. Told me if that was a case it was good thing they took his weapons 'because who wants the psychopath armed and pissed about being lied and toyed with?'" (Start Of Hunters Drunkenness Reference) Nikki turned her head away from the Professor and eyed Hunter. "And for the record I don't ever fucking pretend to like someone, I hate liars."

"Did you witness anything else that night?"

"No, I spent the rest of the time dancing with Bass and trying to avoid Monroe," Nikki said as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Very well, you may step down, known you will be called again and that your swearing in is still in play," The Professor said before Nikki scrambled out of the witness seat and down back to her chair in the crowd. The Professor looked down at the paper she was holding. "Nigel Cooper, please come to the witness stand." Once Nigel was up there, she lifted her hand. "Please raise your right hand. "Do you swear to tell the truth and understand that if you do not you will face Court Martial Charges and punishment that could be as far as exile or execution for misleading the court and your fellow townfolk?" she asked and waited for an answer.

Notes: Now that we have begun, it is going to be interesting to see where this goes. Now, for the next couple of rounds let's try something. If you are dealing with any NPC's that you control or shelved characters - don't need to post for them until they are directly addressed, just be on the look out for that below. I am only going to be posting for characters that are actively speaking or reacting with something noteworthy. Trying to stream line this.

Remember, the minimal required to post is only two paragraphs. So unless you are wanting something noted specifically you do not need to go into great detail of reflection. You of course can if you wish, especially if you are wanting to lay down the ground work for skills you may want to bump next round or add to your characters list.

Mess Hall (C): Guy smiled and listened to Lisa as she spoke. When she mentioned no walkers at sea he had to stop moving his fork. One could see that he was struggling to swallow his last bite before actually responding to it. "UM, yeah, it's nice and naw, they can swim but..." Guy paused for a moment before letting out a long breath. "The ones that get built up with gas are floating about. Can be a bit of a surprise... They're kind of like jelly fish out there. Sometimes they're bobbing below the surface and ya don't know it. I wouldn't do swimming without a check that's fer sure..."

"Hell, I ain't surprised. Ya always coming up with new idea to trap walkers I hear, like that old game I used to play as s kid, what was that, oh yeah, mouse trap. Takes some smarts and out the box thinkin' I'd say. Mary probably saw that too, figured ya be good at problem solvin' and well gotta think outside the box to figure out how to make them pills these day," he said with surety.

Then she mentioned going to beach and one could see color coming to his face. Guy was just a good'ol boy from Virginia. A little more behind in the times than most were, especially when it came to things like asking someone out. Not that this was a date, no but it was usually the guy, or in this case Guy specifically, that did that. Yet that didn't stop him from answering. "Oh hell yeah, I'd love to!" he said with a lot more enthusiasm than he'd intended. He could have back peddled and such, tried to say it again in a more calm fashion but it was already out there, so he just went with it. He was a bit embarrassed though, his cheeks warming a little more and when he smiled his dimples showed. "Love to get to know more 'bout ya, ya know, anythang yer willin' to share that is."

Cage rubbed his temples. "Kid, we always figure when someone gets to this point they're thinkin' about making a break for it. There's a difference between honesty and digging your own grave..." he said before letting out a long breath. "Just don't go trying to get yourself killed, I mean unless that's what you want..." Cage didn't know what to do with Hunter. He had sat and had a long talk with Maddog. He understood why the guy did what he did but he was wondering at this point if it was even possible. Didn't matter right now, they were at the door and it was time to get the show started.

Joaquin looked at Hunter. There was a coldness to his dark eyes and as Hunter spoke, a sinister curl cam to the corner of his mouth. Cage found himself crossing his arms over his chest and then just resting his head in the palm of one of his hands. Roy looked at Joaquin and just as the man looked to about to turn into Tybalt right then and there, he laid a hand on Joaquins chest before addressing Hunter. "He is a good enough shot," Roy said. Cage coughed slightly. Joaquin just watched hunter. "Come on, let's move before you say anything else..." Roy said turning and leading the way, Cage took point in front of Hunter, Joaquin slipped behind him. They were moving to the auditorium. "Eta, 20 seconds," Joaquin radioed in.

Inside it seemed like no one else had any other smart ass remarked to say so the Professor took a seat. The radio in front of Rolodex crackled. it was turned low so only she could hear it. Looking over towards the council she nodded. It was time. A few moments later the doors opened. Roy entered first, Cage followed and he held the door open for Hunter and Joaquin. Heading up to the stage, Roy handed over the clipboard. "Monroe, Hunter - presented for Court Martial," he said as the General took it from him. After which Roy had a seat with the council.

Cage let the door shut once Hunter and Joaquin were in the room. Cage took point and lead Hunter up to onto the stage. "Just breath kid and stay calm," Cage sage as he pointed to a place in front of the council. Joaquin took place behind him and kept his eyes on Hunter and Hunter alone.

Aeron stood up and looked at the kid. Not with harshness, just with calm even understanding. "Son, you are here under the following charges. Food Waste, Drunken Disorderly, Failure To Report To Duty At Designated Time, Absence Without Leave, Failure To Administer Animal Sanitation, and Gross Insubordination. We will review the merits of each charge in a little while it is my job to inform you that you have a right to a fair trial and will be able to speak on your behalf when the time comes, as well as call any witnesses you wish, again when the time comes. At the end of this, all information and testimonies will be reviewed and a decision will be made in the best interest in the camp."

The General paused and looked at the other council members. They each gave a nod before Aeron looked back at Hunter. "We have never had a Court Martial for someone that was still on their 30 probation before. What we have encountered in the past is either you do not pass through Quarantine or it takes some months or years to get to this point. You are an anomaly. Being as such, the council as decided to give you an option before we begin. We will give you a choice. Proceed with the Court Martial, whatever the results are you would adhere to just as if it were any other court marital. Or... If you feel you cannot make a home here you may leave from the Camp right now, no trial. You would be taken, alone, far away from here and dropped off with one weeks worth of food supplies and no more weapons or ammunition than was one your original person when you entered with the understanding if any of our camp sees you again you will be shot onsight no questions asked. The choice is yours son. Shall we proceed or do you wish to leave now?"

Streets Of CMB: Cage glanced over at Hunter. He didn't say anything but he smirked a bit. Roy on the other hand chuckled. "Dunno kid, don't to be sure of that. Under-estimating people ends up getting you killed," he said in reference to Hunter saying he could have taken Cage a few years ago.

At the mention of the lie detector, it was Cages turn to laugh. "Kid if you were good at keeping you cool you wouldn't be in this spot. I don't think I'm gonna question of one of our readers reacts to something you say." It was a pretty obvious observation. Hunter tended to react straight from the gut on things, it was why he was being court martialed. If he had managed to keep his emotions even just once he probably would have just spent a couple of nights in a cell to cool off and been back to business as normal.

Roy shook his head. "You'd be surprised what you can find and grow." He didn't say more on the subject. It fell under one of those need to know thing and while it wasn't exactly a town secret Hunter was on the chopping block as it were. Less information he had if things went bad the better. When Hunter spoke again, his brow shot up. Yeah, this kid didn't need to know anything else about this town as far as Roy was concerned.

Cage looked at Hunter as if he had just been smacked in the face with a trout. "What the fuck is wrong with you kid? You're about to go up in front of the town. Brought up on charges and you ask that. I swear you are trying to get yourself shot," Cage said indiscriminately.

If Roy hadn't been driving he would have face palmed right then and there. He nearly hit the breaks to do just that. Instead he kept driving to the Education Center. "Kid if you run, I'll put a bullet in your skull," Roy said without any hint of emotion. Cage just huffed slightly and just stared at Hunter as Roy pulled up to the front of the Education Center.

Everyone else was inside by now, save for the guards at the front door. Joaquin was standing there just outside the front door underneath the awning. He held some papers in his hand that were on a clip board. Cage slipped out of the golf cart and stood waiting for Hunter to get out. Roy turned off the cart and got out as well, stepping over to Joaquin. "They are about to begin." It was probably the simplest sentence to ever leave Joaquins mouth.

Hearing this Cage looked at Hunter. "Looks like we are skipping the holding room and going straight to court kid," he said quietly.

Taking the papers he looked over them before nodding. Joaquin took them back and the guards opened the front door. "Hunter Monroe, your court martial will be held inside in front of the council, all those that have worked or been associated with you since your introduction to Camp Mexico Beach, and any member of our community that wishes to be present. Joaquin here will be your mirror. If you try to harm anyone inside, he is under orders to shoot to kill. Do you understand?" Roy asked as he stood there. Cage taking point behind Hunter. After what the kid just asked and had been saying Cage hoped the kid would just stay quiet or answer a simple yes instead of going into yet another episode of diarrhea of the mouth.

Mess Hall (C): Standing there Guy smiled a bit nervously as Lisa told him he was free to sit down. Setting his tray down, he still hadn't removed his hands from it when she followed up with some more. Guy looked at her, his head tilting to the side some. He looked confused. Very confused. "Uh..." was the only thing that left his mouth.

Lucky as his brain was trying to come up with a response she kept talking and changing the subject some in the process. Sitting down slowly he was grateful for this. "Oh, um, it's been good. I mean I like it out on the water. Peaceful out there but it's nice being back and seeing you.. I mean, seeing people." Picking up his fork he quickly shoved a bite into his mouth and chewed slowly. Swallowing hard he nodded. "Yeah, we got some of it when we were out. Made fer some really big swells," he said before continuing. "So how are you doing? I heard yous got moved, well yer job did. Not out of the hospital I mean but the job changed." He was stumbling over himself as he spoke. Taking a deep breath he tried again. "I means, congrats on the promotion, you enjoying it?" Yeah, that was good.

Everything seemed to be going smooth so far but right now it was only people taking seats. Thana leaned forward in her chair and rested her hand over the edge of the balcony from above. Her eyes were on Ash and her brow quirked as she spotted Hank was talking to him. She didn't know the man but word was that he was a bit of a smart ass. At least that was what she had heard from a few that had been keeping guard during the groups time in Quarantine. When he gave her an okay sign she looked confused. It seemed to be going around.

Wayne on the other hand didn't question anything as Hank came and sat down next to him. He had turned around to look around and saw the signal to Thana and the look on her face. It made him chuckle. He didn't know what Hank was up to but whatever it was it was enough to make Scarface up there look like she might fall over the balcony for a moment. Sliding down in his seat he grinned over at Hank. "Ahh the P.B. to my mother fuckin' J.," he said with a grin before swatting at the air. "Fucking sit down and shut yer bucked toothed face up before I sit on you," he said to no one in particular.

Volts looked over at Nigel and got comfortable. "Ain't nothing really. Like any other court. Council will come in, they'll bring in the kid, charges will be read, people will be called, testimonies given. Then the audience will be given a chance to speak. After that we're dismissed, kid will be taken to a holding place in the building, council will go deliberate. An announcement will be made when a decision is made, you can come back if you want, verdict will be given and then sentence if there is one. Pretty mundane shit," Volt said distantly. "That is unless someone shows their ass but that's only happened once," Volts added as he laced his fingers together and rested his hands in his lap.

Atlas just stood there, letting people have their little settle downs. He was about to open his mouth, that was until Thalia the harbinger of squeaky squeak made herself known. "Heard quieter air strikes," he coughed as Rolodex stood up with a sheet of paper and started to looked at each person in the main part of the room. She seemed to be going down a list and checking it off to make sure the right people were there. After a moment she cleared her throat and tapped on the edge of her type writer with the end of her pencil. "Right, we're going to begin."

Taking a seat, Rolodex put the paper down on the table next to her and picked up her two way. "We are ready sir," she said into it before setting it back down. After a moment the council walked in from the side stage, the sound of a door closing could be heard. General, Gunny, Maddog, Major, Doc, Rivets, Padre, Professor, Cook, Auntie, and Panama all took a seat at the long table set up on the stage, with The General in the center and his sons on either side of them. The only seat empty was the seat for Roy, who was outside with Hunter at this time.

Clearing his throat, the General stood up and addressed the room. "Good Afternoon everyone. We are here today to conduct a Court Martial as you know. For some of you this is your first time here so let me go over procedure while we await the defendant to be brought in." Moving a paper to the side in front of him he continued. "The Defendant will be brought in shortly and we will read the charges. From there, those that filed each charge will give their testimony to why each charge was filed. Each of you here on the lower level of the auditorium will be called in turn to answer questions and if you wish give your own personal testimony either for or against the accused. You needn't do either if you do not feel the need. After each of you have been called we will call on the defendant to do the same and speak on his own behalf if he chooses. Then we move on to a free forum where any in attendance here may voice any questions or concerns. All that we ask is that you keep quiet while others are speaking, do not interrupt. Everyone that wishes to speak will have the chance. We will not adjourn until each has had that opportunity. Once everyone has had a chance to speak, we will adjourn. You all in attendance either by requirement or by choice will be dismissed. The Council and myself will go over what was said, what evidence that is presented, etc. A decision will be made today and it will be in the best interest of the camp as a whole. Once it is, we will make an announcement and you are welcome to return at that time to hear it as well as any sentencing made at that time, which will be carried out immediately. Unlike other courts, there is no appeals here. The decision is final."

The General took a seat and looked over at the other council members. At this time the Professor stood up. "Now, before we begin, are there any questions?" she asked dryly.

"Yeah, I got one." It was Wayne. He was raising his hand and grinning. "What if we gotta take a piss? We need a hall pass or something?" Nikki slapped her hand over her own mouth to soften the cackle that left her lips. Thana on the other hand just closed her eyes and counted to ten.

The Professor gave him a look and pursed her lips for a moment before answering. "Mr. Maldonado... If you need to take a piss, I suggest you go find a bathroom, that or we can retrieve a diaper from the nursery if you would prefer."

"Nope, all good," he said smugly before sliding back in his chair and lowering his hand finally.

"Anyone else or are we good to proceed?"
