Granted. However, you didn't prepare yourself for first contact with an alien species. You get zappified into space man dust before you can relay any information about space or return home.
I wish I was an overachiever!

B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

Let me just... just... describe what happened to me this morning.
I couldn't get gas last night while driving home because the gas station's register was getting repaired. I decide to take a different route to school so I can get gas today.
The first gas station I pull up at is also getting its register repaired - well, replaced in this case. I can't pay for gas. Okay, fine. I move on.
The second gas station has people working on the pumps. Ergo: can't buy gas. Annoying, but whatever; third time's the charm.
The third gas station is operational! I'm happy! I go inside, I buy gas and a meal, I get into my car and drive off. It's only once I'm several minutes away that I realize I didn't actually put the gas into my vehicle, so I drive on back to get it. As I walk inside and inform the cashier of the situation, someone else uses the gas I bought earlier. Also, there's a REALLY long line in the gas station now for some reason, so instead of waiting I leave in shame and wander back to my car and drive to a fourth gas station.
Good news everyone! The fourth gas station is also operational! I get my gas without a hitch. I actually put it into my car. I drive off.
And then I realize that I don't actually know how to get to class on the route that I'm traveling because I haven't driven on it for several months, and I never drove on it much in the first place.
...And some other stuff happens on the road that I won't go into detail about; it's a lot of little things. Suffice it to say that I got to school, REALLY had to use the restroom, and when I got out I was 45 minutes late for my class that typically lasts about 90 minutes. So, uh... Here I am. Hello everyone. Howdy. Nice day we got here.
Also my car's air conditioning has been broken for a long time and I'm super sweaty right now.
The good news is I didn't get into a car crash like I did at the beginning of the semester! Nor am I vomiting all day like I was two weeks ago! I mean, think positive!

That is optimal STALKER equipment man. No one in the Zone but the Ukrainian military uses perfect-condition military equipment. It's all hand-me down shit.
All you'd need to do is paint it grey or green. And then add red detail highlights.
You forgot the most important part.
A whiskey flask. Well, vodka, I suppose.
This really depends on you a lot. It also depends on what you have to do tomorrow.
I will just say this: if you are going behind the wheel of a vehicle, go to bed. Vehicles are weapons. Get at least 6 hours of sleep before driving one.

I'm a personal fan of warlordism. In a vacuum, the dick with the biggest guns and the most Toyota Hilux trucks is the new government.
Clearly, it's the guy who has the largest collection of LARPing equipment.
EVIL HAS ENTERED THE HOBBIT HOLE YET AGAIN
Granted! You're transported into the colonial era and kidnapped by Tupi tribesmen along the coast of what will eventually become Brazil. You valiantly kill one of your kidnappers, and before you know it you're... living happily among the Tupi? And you have a wife and shit, and everything seems pretty chill. But you don't know the customs of the tribe, and it turns out you killed your lady's husband, so now you're just filling in for the husband until you've gotten nice and fat and plump and happy. And then the murdering time comes: you're cannibalized by the people you thought had become a surrogate family for you, as that is the tradition of this particular Tupi tribe. Apparently, your legs are delicious.
But you learned how to fish before you died, so there's that.
I wish I had the cure for indigestion!

Firstly, I thought about writing up something for April Fools jokingly saying that I'd like to turn this into a magical school girl NRP, but then I thought better of it after remembering the last time I got hit in the head with a brick.
I really don't want to get hit with a brick again.
Instead, I'll just let you know that I've been working on the map for this roleplay. Expect the map to come up tonight or tomorrow after class, then expect the Storm Giants piece to follow after that, and expect the roleplay to start on Friday.
In case anyone is wondering how the map will work: I'm using a program that lets me create "layers" so that I can easily reveal areas of the map which you know and keep the rest a relative mystery to you. I haven't decided if I want to just severely gray out the unknown regions or make them completely blank to you.
