One more question-- What season is it?

@Ktyria

@KtyriaI asked that awhile back and we decided on Summer.

@CandiBarr

Beat me to it.

I don't know the specific date, though.

I'm not too sure how I want to do the P.O.V's, sicne I have two characters. They're with each other constantly, but I'm not too sure if I should jsut write two seperate posts for each one or what...

@Ktyria

I do suggest writing one P.O.V when both characters are in the immediate vicinity of one another. Dedicate a paragraph to each internal and external actions and switch off between the two. For example:

I wonder what Jane will wear to prom.. Jack thought to himself, letting his imagination go wild with colorful fantasies. He couldn't help himself, he just had to know what she was going to wear! "Hey, um, Jane..." Jack stealthy approached his would-be prom date from behind and tapped her on the shoulder, taking the moment to indulge his sense of smell and breath in a waft of Jane's coconut-scented shampoo. ".. Hey, so, umm.. You are going to prom, right?" Jack asked nonchalantly once Jane had turned to face him. ".. I was wondering if.. maybe.. You know..." This was it, it was time to ask! ".. If you'd like to go with me or not... To the Prom that is!" Almost a perfect delivery, but Jack already made the mental note to kick himself for stuttering on that last bit.

Jane turned to hear a nasally voice call out to her from behind, right before feeling a shaky finger tap across her shoulder. Oh no... please don't tell me... Jane already had her suspicions about who it was before she even caught sight of him. Part of Jane just wanted to run away, but she wouldn't be mean and would never run away.. no matter how desperate some might become. Jane turned, a friendly smile disguising her true feelings, and waved at Jack. "Hi Jack!" Jane had just managed to respond before Jack flew off with his true motive behind disturbing Jane's studies. ...Again? This is the third time this week! Why won't he just leave me alone! Jane rolled her eyes, which seemed to have gone unnoticed by Jack, before responding. "I'm sorry, Jack, but someone already asked me. Thanks anyway!" With that Jane quickly turned in her seat before Jack could follow up on her response.

Like that. ^

A Dance with Death: The Pas de Corps

---

"I know how to drink, 'da'!" Ana spat, mockingly imitating the 'da' that man added which she assumed to be a slight from her accent, in response the man's jab, regardless of whether he meant to be friendly or not. Ana might have pressed the man further but when she saw the radio being picked up in the corner of her eye, it iced her temper over a bit. The man, Captain Johnathan Fredrick Krueger, sounded as if he was confident with his callback on the radio, which assured Ana to follow his later commands.

Safely turning the car around, the two of them were now headed in the presumably right direction according to John, as the man had now formally introduced himself. Of course curiosity would demand that Ana introduce herself in response, but a more selfish desire kindled in Ana's mind. A protector had introduced himself, and Ana hoped she could return to blissfully coasting this apocalypse under another person's protection.

Ana bowed her head forward, not taking her eyes off the road in a sort of accepting gesture before introducing herself. "I am Anastasia Abramova, but that is a mouthful, yes? You can call me Ana if you want." Ana noticeably turned up the pep and charm in voice, finally shaping her expression to a bit of a flirtatious smile as she slowly began coming to the conclusion that a military captain was likely heaps better at survival than a NYPD police officer. Her charm was topped off with a very subtle chuckle and a bit of sympathy for John's nose. "Oooh yea... Sorry about that. She hummed sincerely in reply.

Even though Ana was driving, she found her attention and gaze wandering to her passenger, John, as they cruised along the road. Her eyes studying and evaluating the man. He was armed much better than Carl, boasting military hardware and probably proper training, but Ana wouldn't be able to tell otherwise. As for the man himself, he was built much better compared to Carl, who would get winded well before Ana. It was an indecent thought, but Ana judged that John was bound to be better for her in the long run.

There was silence for a moment before John finally spoke up again. This time he was telling a brief tale about what he had gone through. Ana sat in silence and nodded grimly, but she didn't understand. She was locked in her place while someone else went out and scavenged for supplies. By the time she was out and moving, the living fighting the dead had stopped, with the dead the clear winners.

--

Finally reaching the visual range to see the building on Eighth Street in Wilmington, Ana pulled the car to a halt as her partner sprung into a quick reflex for some reason. Ana followed the man's gaze and eventually found a lone man in the street ahead. Before Ana could say anything, John was out the door and closing on the man fast. Ana felt stuck in her seat and only watched the beginning of their exchange. Even though they had really just met, Ana was quietly routing for her acquaintance as if they had been lifelong friends, and she felt relieved that the man submitted with his hands raised.

Shockingly, Ana wasn't as delighted as she thought she would be to see a third person. While she seemed to embrace John because she had no one else, with this new guy she was apprehensive and cautious. But she wasn't precisely sure why that was the case. Regardless, she was glad someone else was handling the responsibility of judging a person for her.

John shot a glance backwards and Ana interpreted that as her signal to join them. She opened the cruiser door and stepped out, crouching down to finally pick up her sidearm from the floor of the car. On her way back up, she reached over and pulled the keys out of the ignition and closed the door, locking the doors remotely, and moved over to join John and the other man.

Ana had joined just in time to mutter a quiet greeting to the stranger before noticing that the ones on the radio came out of their building. Ana watched them approach, her weapon resting safely in her grip as she stood behind John and the other man. Ana's worries were naively put to ease as she saw that they approached with their weapons holstered and friendly, approachable smiles plastered on their face. As the man introduced themselves, Ana couldn't help but worriedly glance up to the sniper up on the roof, and she nervously shuffled a bit closer behind John. She hadn't seen so many people in such awhile. She wasn't sure how to take all of it in yet.

Ana looked nervously on at Omar and Douglas before leaning around John, just enough to be seen by the two, and spattering out her own name. "A-Ana." She looked around nervously and nodded earnestly at the two men's response to heading inside. "Please, lets."

<Snipped quote by Pirouette>

Absolutely. I've seen that happen in RPs before, and it's almost as bad as having a lack of players. I look forward to hearing your thoughts in the PM!

@FortunesFaded

I've only read horror stories.

I will PM you after I post here. Finally broke free for a night. :3

The Walking Dead: To Greener Pastures

@Ktyria

You are more than welcomed to join in any IC appropriate fashion.

@FortunesFaded

As we add more and more characters to the mix, we have to try extra hard not to get "bogged" down with too many things going on at once, when a good number of characters are together. I have a few ideas that might help and I'll PM them later tonight. It might not be necessary right now as people are scattered and the players are doing well enough with everything going on, but we should just keep it in the back of our minds.

The Walking Dead: To Greener Pastures

Somehow I got the two names confused!!!! For shame... Anyway thanks!

@Monkeypants

Your character looks fine to me. The only things I would include are what exactly Lisa has her degrees in, because suddenly dropping she's an experiment in underwater basket weaving when the group most needs one is too unfair.

Secondly, Billy's degree of disability should be outlined a bit better. Being a marksman with a rifle requires a great degree of concentration and an acute understanding of bullet drop, wind, distance, etc. it isn't impossible but it would unlikely that a mentally challenged person could complete the task with such precision. Not to mention the psychological impacts of shooting a person, failure to protect someone, and so on, would probably weigh a lot heavier on someone who is mentally challenged as opposed to someone who is not.

Again, Billy isn't an impossible character, but my opinion is that he would have a lesser disability. Perhaps you can include how exactly he is impaired.
