Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

<Snipped quote by Rilla>

Don't call it "spite." Call it sweet, sweet vengeance and run a hand casually through your hair.

On topic, I hate people who play characters with eidetic memories and then forget to have their characters remember everything about some markedly important picture or page in a book. Likewise, I hate people playing characters who are "geniuses" in their respective fields, but then don't do sufficient research to sell the whole "I'm a genius in astrophysics/biomechanical engineering/etc." image.

I'm certainly not saying they need to become actual geniuses in those fields, but when a "genius astrophysicist" can't explain classical physics in-character (even if it's BS), the illusion kind of breaks down for everyone.

@January

I know exactly what you're talking about...

It's just called research and if someone isn't willing to do a little leg work, then they may not be suitable to that RP. As long as the details sound somewhat right it can be forgiven, but having a doctor that doesn't know how to perform first aid is just wrong.

@Mcmolly That's why Duncan is the complete opposite. :)

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

Hey, what's Madi play in her cockpit usually anyway?

@LHG100

Variations of electronica mostly.

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

(by posting this post I confirm to be present whenever any roll-call occurrs within this RP from any point in time)
Edit: My IC post will either be after @NuttsnBolts's or a collab with him, as the actions of his characters will have a major impact on Joe's behaviour here. Well, the impact will simply be one condition which is either met or not met, but it will still dramatically affect the post.

@M127

I posted earlier this afternoon so just let us know if you need any info. I'm afraid time zones and work may make it a bit tricky to make room for the regular collabs, but my usual schedule for any rp biz is Fridays and Saturdays free as well as most weeknights (aus,syd timezone), and I usually respond to quick messages throughout the day.

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

Duncan Brown

Sparks showered next to Duncan as the worker above him grinded away at the residue slag that joined the various sheets of metal together. With each section that he finished he would pull over a spray gun connected to a pneumatic lead and it the surface with a hammer finish paint in order to protect the metal from the weather. It was the best they could do considering the resources that they had and every piece of rust they found had to be cut out individually and replaced with a new sheet, leaving some sections with more weld joins than actual metal.

Duncan on the other hand was working on the hydraulic lines, tightening the connections and ensuring that each piston had it's adequate amount of oil. The worse part about these old war machines was that they were prone to wear and tear so leaks and seals were a high priority on the list of maintenance. He let go of his wrench and felt it drop next to his side, gently tugging on the rope that connected it to the belt of his pants. He leaned over to grab is cup of coffee from it's precariously resting on the edge of the Mad-e and took a sip, tasting the warm sensation that helped fight off the cold weather.

"Ay Duncan, looks like we have visitors," spoke the worker above Duncan, pausing for a moment and lifting his welding mask to get a clearer view. Duncan looked over and could see the crew making it's way over to one of the briefing rooms, noticing the light pink hair that was Madison's. He took a sip of his coffee as another mechanic from the Wessex NC next door chimed in.
"They look like a bit of a rough bunch too with that guy that has one fake arm. I can see two of them look pretty pale too but that one with the white hair, is she one of those abominables?" the mechanic spoke out as he tried to eye off the pilots as best as he can.
"She's an abino, not an abominable snowman you dumb twat," the voice rang out of the cockpit of the Wessex as another individual exposed his face to enter into the conversation.
"Alright, alright... well I did hear that they had to go through some pretty tough training, like learning how to hold in your poop for three days straight."
"And you wouldn't last 30 minutes with the amount of bullshit that comes out of that mouth of yours! Jesus christ! Can someone give me a new partner already?" The frustrated man threw an empty paper cup at the mechanic, watching it bounce off his head and fall down to the floor below.

Duncan decided that it was his turn to step into the fray, noticing that everyone was beginning to chuckle at the bickering going on between the duo on the Wessex NC. "But you two make such a cute couple."

It was then that the hanger roared into laughter as the worker in the pilot seat and the numbskull mechanic continued to argue about the obvious facts of life. Duncan lifted his coffee cup to his mouth and yet again took another sip, smiling at the show. Simply being stuck out here for a few days with these clowns reminded him so much of his daily life with Madi.

Madison Cole

Madison leapt off the back of the truck and proceeded to jog in the spot for a moment in order to warm up her cold body. She held her hands tightly up to her chest and breathed out a cold fog that lingered in the air for a moment. There she heard Bill and Alex's recommendation to make their way up to the briefing room and meet up with the captain. Eli could be seen saluting the two couriers and thanking them for the trip before marching off into the room for their preliminary meeting.

Turning towards Percy she looked at him and wondered how a man like himself could walk around with a t-shirt and sweatpants in this climate. Still jogging on the spot she waved one hand at him to catch his attention. "C-c'mon freckles. Y-o-ou really need to get into a wa-warmer environment," her teeth chattered as she began to walk along to the briefing room with her feet thumping from the sound of her boots.

As she stepped through the doors the sensation of warm air wrapped it's way around her body. Instantly her muscles relaxed and she felt at ease as she made her way over to a hot water boiler next to the entrance. Grabbing a cup and a teabag from the tray she filled the cup to the brim with a mixture of hot water and milk before removing her gloves and cupping her hands around the drink. Satisfied, she made her way over to one of the vacant seats and sat down, waiting for the meeting to begin.

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

@ADParis yeah, add that line in too. xD

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

@LHG100

I'm still around. :P

oh and are we gonna do another cooperative post thing, or are we gonna post ourselves? cause again, it feels like my post might be lacking length-wise

that's what she said

@ADParis

I find whenever that happens I think about what it is that I want to convey and improve on some of the details. Smell, touch, emotion. Everything can be expanded on to help build the story. If you want I can give you a hand at some point so that you can get into the rhythm of things. :)

At the moment I'm in the city so I'm not gonna be able to post til tonight, or afternoon at least. Was just a little stuck on what to post last night as I wasn't clued up on the direction, plus it was a bit of a meh day for me.

Aether: Legend of the Crimson Dusicyon - Now Recruiting Crewmates!

Cari Cruz

The crew of the Dusicyon scurried around like ants in a nest, each one picking up it's own role and helping out in as much of the cleanup as possible. Cari on the other hand was sitting over on the ground to the side. In her condition she couldn't do much for too long before she would feel the familiar signs of exhaustion sink in. With her was Doctor Bishop.

The doctor had the back of Cari's shirt up and was examining the deep bruising that she obtained after the fall. She gently felt around, making sure none of the possible broken bones had shifted. Until she was able to get to a proper working medical bay, this was going to be the best that she could do.
"I'm surprised you're still alive after what Neisha and Nikola told me," she opened quietly, trying to break the silence.

"Nikola has a lot to answer for," Cari replied as she gently stroked the back of the ferret that was asleep on the ground next to her, "But even still this was a bit of a suicide mission anyway. Taking on a fortress with nothing more than a row boat."

Cassandra understood where Cari was coming from. The crew had won the battle, but the cost was more than what they all envisioned. The real question was what were they going to do now? Ulysses had escaped and it wouldn't be too out of the ordinary to expect him to plan some sort of counter attack. On top of that there seemed to be some connection between the two captains, something more than what Captain Renault was letting on. Cari had rarely spent the time to sit down and talk to 'James'. Most of the times that they talked it was about supplies and tactics but never anything too personal. She often wondered if he knew how much the bounty was on her head with more zeros than you could count on one hand. An amount that would tempt the majority of people if they at all knew.

The doctor pulled down Cari's shirt and placed her bright jacket over her shoulders.
"I'll have to perform a few scans and checks when I get the chance, but miraculously you don't seem to have any broken bones. I couldn't tell if there are a few fractures and you seem to be suffering from shock and post-traumatic stress..."

"I had a relapse," Cari cut off the doctor, looking down at her right hand and seeing it twitch from the damage it had taken.

"Sorry, didn't mean to bring up old memories," Cassandra spoke, realising that Cari probably already knew what was going on inside her own head. "I've got to go tend to Cyrus now. Shout out if you need any more assistance." She stood up and tuened to walk away before asking one last question. "Oh, and if you don't mind, where 'did' you get that jacket?"

Cari chucked for a moment and calmly responded, "Where else... I stole it."

The Binding of Isaac: My Pain and Suffering

Special items that you start with don't count against you finding any later on. Isaac is OP.

This includes Magdelene's Yum Heart and anything Eden might get.

@Awson

maybe I'm getting mixed up with the original. The original had some funny effects and items. I remember dad's key never really worked how it was supposed to and when the item pool was exhausted all shit broke loose.

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

Cool. Will do so tomorrow. Just didn't wanna ninja anyone too early on.

EDIT: Not entirely sure what to write for a second post. :\
