Probably. Now all we need is the janitor and Idiot-proper, right?


Our Janitor is in the works! He/She/It should be a part of our fabulous crew tomorrow. I have some fabulous things in mind for the Janitor. But, sh, you aren't allowed to know.

And we need a Techie... and an actual Pilot. We need that. That's what we need. Very much. Jane does the jumps and pilots the ship through hyperspace, but her station is in the Armory. I would be overworking her if I had her jump and then immediately run to the cockpit to maneuver the ship before it crashes into the nearest planet.
I'm putting this note in the OP, but yeah.



NOTE: So...

I would like to get this out of the way before we start this RP off. I just want to make sure everyone is on the same page of what we believe this RP to be. It's a comedy. It's a satire. But, it's also a story. And a story cannot only thrive on jokes alone because the best comedies, I believe, are also dramatic stories that can stand on their own. They tread a very fine line between campy and serious. I want us to look more into character and story, as a whole and not just as fuel for hilarity. For this to thrive, I thoroughly believe that we need to make this interesting and dramatic. Consistent in tone above all else.

Don't get me wrong, this is supposed to be funny and fun, but that's not all it is. For us to make a good story that we all want to come back to, it has to have a little bit of everything. Something that you can find on a bookshelf or in a movie theatre. It can have more creativity and satire over a lot of things, but it still needs that tension that keeps it together. It's up to all of us (and our characters) to create that.

I want to make it very clear that this is not a cartoon, regardless of whether or not it has that Futurama vibe to it. I was inspired by it, along with various other comedic sci-fi shows/books/movies/etc, but only inspired by. This isn't an exact copy. This is our own creation.

So, let's make a good, funny story. But let's make a story, most of all. :D

I may... uh, have given the wrong impression with all those damn Futurama gifs. @_@ But this is still sooper satirical, just not so satirical that it's all that it is.






Eheheheheh.

Either I'm completely oblivious, or you did indeed xD


Well, maybe you are oblivious. :O Maybe I'm oblivious....

Maybe we're all oblivious. D:

It's certainly over for me so you have my attention, which is only slightly divided and requires at least a week of maintenance because finals have fried my brain.
I keep forgetting about this. D:

Finals a buncha RPs and running my own RP has frazzled mah brains. :(
I can certainly whip up a post for Virgil when I head home tonight. He'll gladly stay at the Bed and Breakfast for convenience's sake.
Last day of classes for me. Hurrah.

But, that said, I'll be in class for most of the day. I will, however, check up and post in this when necessary!

Also, did I accidentally name this company, "The Second Delivery Company"?
Bump for moar people?

Alright-y, It's a good thing I finished both shows then haha (minus the last season of Scrubs. I wont even attempt to watch any more of that)I'll fill out a character sheet tomorrow, since It's already 1:30 AM here.


Quite, indeed. Haha. I've not seen the last season of Scrubs either, so we're in the same boat there. But I did see the last season of Futurama and it made me so sad face. :(

That's fine! It's 2:30 A.M. here... heh. I should probably sleep earlier. >_>

I think it'd be reasonable to say the janitor does a lot of general housekeeping stuff for the ship - I mean, in Futurama Scruffy is just Scruffy, but I think for this to work it needs to be a liiiiittle more serious than a FOX animated series.


I actually intend for the Janitor to be the captain of the ship. Eheh... Heheheh. But, I guess that depends on the person Gargoyle makes. :P

But, yeah, what Ex said. I think, personality wise, a Scruffy or Neil Flynn would be perfect... but he does have to do some of the housekeeping stuff. *Nods* I mean, I have a whole episode planned that involves the Janitor and his Janitorial closet... if you'd like more info on that and what I expect from the Janitor position itself, then I'll gladly PM you the deets. :)
