Current A whole two nights at work destroyed the good mood. Time to rest, recuperate, and go back in for four more starting Saturday. Le sigh

If you're a night shifter and you have insomnia, what does that make you?

My hands always feel like death. It keeps my patients on their toes.

Bio

I guess this is where I tell a little bit about myself...


ER nurse by night... also gamer/RPer by night. Look, I'm not as strung out as Batman over here, so I sleep during the day. Cut me some slack!

As a night shift nurse, I work 3 to 4 days a week on 12 hour shifts and sometimes more as needed. This severely limits my ability to write/roleplay on those days

I'm 30, for those who care about age. I prefer to play as women--but am willing to compromise as needed.

I'm reliable for around a 3 to 5 minimum paragraphs with good grammar and spelling, usually more. However you would categorize that.

I enjoy most any type of RP as long as it has a well-thought out premise, characters with depth or whom have the possibility of development, legible writing, and of course a great partner!

I love fantasy, sci-fi, dark, steampunk, romance, intrigue, and mature themes more than others. I especially think that most any story can be improved with a bit of romance--if it makes sense within the context of the story.

Negatory on sexual assault or similar themes. I can handle mature, dark, and even very violent scenes. (I'm a trauma nurse at a level 1 trauma center, so you can't really gross me out) but I don't touch on the abusive for abuses' sake. I get enough moral injury at work; I don't need it here. 8P

As previously mentioned, I love games! I love pretty much every type of game--except for racing games minus Mario Kart. May be interested in the right game-based RP setting, but I really prefer original characters if that is what you are after. If I wanted to play the characters from the game... well, I'd just play the game. xP

Sound like someone you need in your RP? Message me! Happy to chat when I can. (8

I already messed with it some. Any better? Is it simply her thoughts/speaking--which is fire brick red? Or is it the label at the top? Cause I messed with both, but I'm not sure if both are the problem.
Hey folks, if I could make a suggest to those who use colored dialogue: Please stay away from dark colors because they are just hard to read.

Unless there is a way to change it that I don't know about, the background color on here is already dark gray. So...dark font color on dark bg = no bueno.

And while you might not think "red" is a dark color, it doesn't contrast well with dark bg.

Anyway, just my two credits worth. Gracias mi amigos!


Hmm, I thought it was bright enough. I keep my screen just one notch above the darkest setting, and I can read it fine. Especially if I set it to the normal settings--which is honestly, too bright for my eyes. I can try and play around with it, though, if a lot of people have issues with it. I just don't want a bright red color. /8
Yay, got my post in \o/

It's not much, but Rois is a civi so... Excited. :3

ois was making rounds--again--on both the Hydroponic Center and Eden. While all the reports had repeatedly come back pristine, she needed something to do to distract her from the reality of the situation that she was leaving behind everything that she had come to know in the past twenty-eight years. So she would check it all again... and again... and again. From the current stocks of manure to the already budding fruits and vegetables. They couldn't very well leave Earth--her stomach lurched again at the thought--without already producing a steady gross of foods and herbs for the working crew. What they brought fresh would only last so long and the reserves were for emergencies, not because she couldn't get the botany team together.

Thankfully, the gardens had been seeded several months ahead of the intended launch date to ensure everything would be going strong from the start. She had nary a problem to truly concern her, since she had not only the best technology at her disposal but also the best teams of scientists and botanists she had ever had the pleasure of meeting. It was astounding what the Genesis Project had been able to do with everyone working together. She wondered that it had taken nothing less than the threat of humanity's total extinction to bring everyone together. She didn't understand people most times and she wasn't sure she ever would in her lifetime. Especially now that the majority of them would seen be wiped out--

Just stop. Stop thinking about it, before you drive yourself insane. It always came back around to that. She was already struggling with the survivor's guilt and the deed had yet to be done. But she knew that it would come to pass. They made sure that everyone knew this wasn't a drill. This was actually happening. No one was going to wake up tomorrow, back in their old lives. None of her brothers or sisters or the kind couple who had cared for her back on that small farm would be joining her. Who was left to care for the orphans created from the Devastator's first contact with humanity? The Holts had been one in a million as far as Rois was concerned; that's one reason she took their last name as her own when she came of age. Nevertheless, she hadn't been able to bring them with her on this trip. They didn't meet the requirements.

Moving away from one of the monitors that listed the approximate moisture and nutrients present in the current subsection of the garden, Rois moved to gaze at the apiary. It eased her mind to watch the bees buzz from bud to bud, and before long her mind was drifting off into nostalgia of her time growing up. She would always be grateful to them for getting her here. There weren't many in her situation that had been given the opportunities in life that she had, and she knew it. She'd taken every chance and ran with it. As fast and as far as she could, and look where she was now. The head botanist for the whole Ark. She knew they were proud of her, and that helped get her through it. She had to focus on the positive because it was too easy to let the negative become overwhelming.

It wasn't long before the sounding of the ship's alarm brought her back to the crushing reality. Rois was confused as the red lights shown around the room, and she ran to access one of the nearby consoles only to find that they were locked. She heard the call overhead. "...battlestations..." and her eyes went wide. They weren't supposed to be here yet, not unless Mars had fallen. At least, that was her limited understanding of the military's strategy for all the Arks. A force was sent to be a distraction while the Arks made their way to the Eye of Thea. Could the Devastator's have broken through their line already?

No satisfactory answer would come, so all Rois could do was seek the nearby designated shelter positions or a bunker. She ran through the rest of the labs at hydroponics, making sure all personnel heard the call and left the areas. She couldn't save anyone not already on the Vitae, but she would damn well take care of her own people. With the areas emptied, she'd follow and take her own shelter in place at the designated spot. After securely strapping herself in, she nervously began to whisper out all of the names of every type of fungus known to man in the hopes of keeping her disquieted mind preoccupied while whatever was happening... happened.
Any deadline for first posts? Just curious and in no way trying to rush anybody!


I think this is it except for any more connections she has on the ship! Lemme know if I need to change anything, please~

@Cairo Lemme know if I need to change anything for this. Rois is happy to bring some food by on occasion. (8

@POOHEAD189 Has friend. Just gotta work out the deets.

@Nieszka As a fellow Biologist--with her specialization in plant and animal life--I feel like these to would be a good connection to add as well, if you agree. (8
Reading through the wiki while I work on my CS: "In the VIP section of the Vibe, it is a more relaxed area. Several pools are here, often occupied by bikini clad women."

Where my buff, speedo-clad men at? What's a hard working woman gotta do around here to get some eye candy, sheesh? xP Jk, but it is a funny mental picture.

Definitely enjoying reading the wiki so far. Great stuff. (8


Mah brain, it's working. Just going to save this real quick so I don't lose it. (8

@Cairo If you like, I feel like Audrey and Rois could know each other both from their time in the Conglomerate and on the Arks, as well. More recently, I'm sure Rois would need some assistance with automated equipment used to both monitor and help tend to all of the plants hydroponics houses. Though their fields are quite different and Audrey a recluse, perhaps Rois could be one of her few closer friends/acquaintances? She surely wouldn't mind any rambling about projects. (8

Here I come to peek around, and the first job I think of is Botanist or Hydroponics: the very first on your list! Get out of my head, @ShwiggityShwah! Then again, someone needs to be in charge of all of the calibrating...

I may try and work up a CS some time tonight or tomorrow, if you are still looking, @Sep
