Title: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: warren_bearclaw on October 16, 2010, 03:06:08 PM
This is the Out of Character comment thread for the RP "Our Summer Vacation...", just in case no one could figure that out.  ;D

Sure, let's have a morphing bug! Someone take the box from Sean and put it down with their seashells or something.... Maybe that's when our parrot friend will drop in! And no, we wouldn't have Skype (*feels embarrassed for not knowing about that*), but since we're in high school or up, we could have cars and cell phones (maybe not all of us, but whatever). Anyone who wants the box can go ahead and have Sean toss it to them without waiting for me to write it.

EDIT:
I'm going to keep a list of all morphs acquired by our guys... just to keep away confusion.

Sean: Squirrel, Canadian Goose, Northern River Otter, White-tailed Deer, African Lion, Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Saltwater Crocodile, Ring-tailed Lemur,

Brian: Human (thirty-something w/ spare tire), Fly, Eastern Timber Wolf, Turkey Vulture, Kodiak Bear,

Chad: King Crab, Dog (?), Red-Tailed Hawk, Siberian Tiger, (some random monkey...), Rattlesnake, Black Mamba, Anaconda, Fly, c0ckroach, Elephant,

Olivia: Human (Josefina), gecko, Squirrel, Canadian Goose, Leopard, Bald Eagle, Ring-tailed Lemur, Elephant,

Josefina: King Crab, Human (Olivia), Dog, c0ckroach, Canadian Goose, Canadian Moose, Ring-tailed Lemur, Elephant,  Human (Edward/Ultor's host), centipede,

Kristen: Husky ("Balto"), Parakeet, Pelican, Lynx, Tasmanian Devil, Coyote, Raccoon, Cheetah, Peregrine Falcon, Dolphin, Housefly,

Here's the Google Map: OSV map (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=218094005479606790321.00049af605c797a80d138&ll=30.135626,-95.355835&spn=0.831369,2.015991&t=h&z=9)

Much obliged! Now I can ask a question, is there a particular post order or are we free-for-all-ing it?
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: Josh (J) on October 16, 2010, 03:20:08 PM
Great! I think it'd be ok if Sean has a car and Chad can rent it, to make it simpler.
And for the posting order, Josh had better answer that, though I think there wouldn't be one because sometimes it'd get too complicated. But he's gotta answer it, being the GM.

Oh, I'm honored! I figured we'd go without a specific order, since sometimes it might just be two or three characters involved. And also, it let's the other players write when someone can't get online for a while. Thanks for asking my opinion, but I want to know what y'all want, too.

Ah darn... if we have licenses, we won't have any 'trash can' scenes... :(

... have you read Megamorphs 1? [spoiler]"Aaaaaaahhhhh!" Cassie screamed.
"Look out! Lookoutlookoutlooko utlookout!" Jake yelled.
"Would you both shut up?" I demanded. "I'm trying to drive here!"
"Car! Car! Car!" Jake yelled.
I yanked the wheel left. The car sped by, horn blaring. The driver stuck his hand out the
window and made a sign with his fingers.
"That's rude," I said. "And totally uncalled for."
BAM!
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!"
"Oh, it's just a trash can," I said. "Chill out."
BAM!BAM!BAM!
"Okay, so it's four trash cans," I said.
"Get off the sidewalk, you lunatic!" Jake said.
I yanked the wheel to the right. We bumped off the sidewalk, sort of grazed a parked car,
and...
BAM! BAM!BAM!
"Do you hate trash cans?" Jake asked. "Is that your problem? Do you just HATE TRASH
CANS?!!"
"I can't drive with you screaming in my ear," I said.
"You can't drive at all!" Jake said.
"Left! Turn left! There,, there! Turn left! It's that way," Cassie said, taking time out from
screaming.
I turned left. I missed the actual street, but fortunately, the people who lived on that corner
did not have any trees in their front yard.
BUMP! Over the curb. BUMP! Rear wheels over the curb. I stepped on the gas and tore
across the lawn.
"Cool," I said.
"I'm going to kill you, Marco," Jake said in a weirdly calm voice. "If I survive, I am gonna
kill you."
7 7
"You said you could drive!" Cassie accused.
I shrugged. Actually, what I had said was I scored millions of points playing Wipeout, this
excellent video game. "Okay, so it's not exactly like Wipeout. I'm doing the best I can."
[/spoiler] Yeah, that's like one of the best scenes in the series.

You poor deprived human being, the chronicles are some of the best writing in the series and shed massive amounts of light on the whole Ani-verse. And yes, Vegamorphs did suck.

Hey Rad (can I call you Jo?), do want to help sail the boat?  I figured that Sean would have to since he's the only one over 21, but I don't really know much about sailing!
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: radgeek on October 16, 2010, 08:18:07 PM
If I'm sailing the boat then it should be one with one sail and work on wind power (no motor).  I've worked those in the past.
And you can call me Rad, Geek, Jo Christina, Chris, Radiation, anything but Harry Potter.
Since tech is older Jo will be a ham radio operator originally licensed in Boston.  Does anyone here know what I'm talking about?

Thanks to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ham_radiol) I do! That's cool that your teen is licensed. Would it be cheesy if I made Brian an Eagle Scout? It's what I know...

If and when I use any other temporary characters, I'll just write in black. Does anybody want to claim the andalite nothlit as their character? I can 'own' him/her at first if y'all want, but I wouldn't mind letting someone else handle him/her.

I don't feel qualified to be the Andalite nothlit because I only read up to book 23.  Tony if you handle the Andalite I'll handle the two parts I PMed you about.  Whatever you want?

How about Houston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston)? It's the fourth most populated city in the United States (which would make it a great target), it has a port and is only half an hour from the actual coast, NASA's Mission Control is nearby, and there are several zoos, other large cities, and both state and national parks nearby. (There's even an endangered chicken refuge!) Houston is commonly threatened by hurricanes and flooding, and is very humid. Ask me anything else you want to know, and I'll find out; I've got family north of Houston (ooh! Can we live there?!? I can go to my Gramps' Judo Dojo' he has there! jk)

Let me know what y'all think, as always.

Edit: BTW, Bob Lanier (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Lanier_%28politician%29) was the mayor from '92 to '98, so I think he's the guy Tony's after.

Thanks for the information WB, I probably should have researched him before hand. Now that I've read about him, I  feel bad that he is about to be enslaved.

Post by: warren_bearclaw on October 17, 2010, 09:07:33 PM

Um... yes? I tried looking at google maps to see how much empty space there was nearby, but it was so hard to tell.  It's a BIG city. I know that East Texas (aka, north of Houston) is pretty much completely empty. I've been there, there's nothing for miles. We drive to Houston quite often, and there's quite a bit of space outside of the suburbs and surrounding cities. We can always pretend...

I feel like such a geek! I just searched the zoo and aquarium to see what morphs we could pick up there. I saw crocodiles (I think...), clouded leapords, lions and tigers (and bears), elephants, and a bunch of other stuff, too. (Sorry Rad, I didn't see any mooses, but we can still pretend, since it is a fictional story.)

Now that I've read about him, I  feel bad that he is about to be enslaved.
I'm sorry, but that's hilarious!

How could they not have moose?  All I need is the DNA.  Jo's dad could have a moose head on the wall.
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: warren_bearclaw on October 17, 2010, 09:40:24 PM
I don't know if a dead head would work... would it? *remembers something* I'm pretty sure they have to be alive... they had to acquire a Taxxon once, and they had to hurry because it was dying.  Let's just put one in the zoo anyways. We have to have a moose!
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: Unknown User on October 17, 2010, 09:43:51 PM
The creature you aquire the DNA from has to be living (which makes no sense). Josh is right though, we don't have to be 100% accurate all the time. I.E. when I infest the mayor here in about 10-15 minutes, I am going to be making everything up as far as the mayors house and security measures.

Blood is alive! It is a tissue that is created, reproduces, and finally dies and is recycled. The cells don't die as soon as they are taken out of the body (though being inside an insect may actually kill them who knows?), it takes time. I learned about this in anatomy class in Highschool.

I didn't post again because I don't want Jo to sail away from our favorite Andalite.

That works for me... Chad and Sean Black it is then!

Now that I think of it, I figure that Tony should pick the name (since he's going to 'own' him). I did find out that 'Illim' is the Yeerk that Cassie acquired in #29 the sickness, not that that means he can't have that name.

I've been sick today and not seeing any activity on the other thread was killing me.  But I used my posting time to raise a little trouble else where.

So I can find this stuff latter...

VA1HBR = Jo's first Canadian call sign
KC2OYW = Jo's American call sign
VA1RAJ = Dave from Canada' call sign
WB2KCC = Monique from Boston's call sign
KA7ITR = Marco the Animorph's call sign (Might not use this one but it might be fun.  But ham radio is not the place to talk about Yeerks anyway.)
KB2FDO = Jo's birth mom

I'm sending Jo's bother to South Texas College of Law.
Jo would like to go to the University of Houston

I've got an idea.... let's all figure out what times we can be online each day, so that all four of us can be on at the same time. Or maybe we can all have a better idea of when the others will have had a chance to post. Me, I'm pretty flexible as of right now. I'm unavailable from 5:00 to 14:00 GMT, but I could arrange to be on any other time (at least until I get that job I need...). Assuming no one minds the idea, everyone post what time(s) your available or not, and let's see if we find a magic hour that works for us.

Another thing (and this might be RP taboo); what do you guys think about letting others control your characters just a little bit? Like maybe we could set up some rules so that we can have a character respond to a simple question even if the player isn't on. It's just an idea... *covers head in case this is an outrageous suggestion*

I is getting confuzzled with the Zulu time. So that would be 9 PM-10:30 AM EST? So that'd be...1 AM to 2:30 PM my time, which I normally won't be on. I'm on from roughly 5 PM and then on and off from then till 9 PM GMT, which would be 1-5 EST. However, I will sometimes pop in at other times.

And, Jo, the jury out on Jo being controlled? Is that yes or no? :P I say I don't mind being mildly controlled. :)

We'd only have Chad reply to a simple question, or follow along (like we probably could have assumed that you'd be getting on the boat). No big decisions, and nothing that really requires your input... which means we wouldn't be doing it a lot. Only minor, minor things.

Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: warren_bearclaw on October 20, 2010, 04:21:37 PM
I just pulled it up real fast... I didn't look either. Is it a prey animal, or more of a predator? That was often a big deal in the series. (Prey was all freaked out, Predators were hungry, generally speaking.) Does it say anything about their senses, like sight or hearing? In other words, what kind of things would it respond to? This might sound weird, but what is its daily routine like? I'll search some more later when I got the time....
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: radgeek on October 20, 2010, 08:52:31 PM
First instinct would be to get in the water away from hungry gulls and humans and pinch anybody who tried to stop you.  After you get in the water... idk.
A wet suit is skin tight fyi.
I still don't think I understand what's happening with clothes.  I'm assuming that Chad was hidden from view as he became smaller or we're doing like in the TV show with clothes and shoes being no problem when morphing.
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: warren_bearclaw on October 20, 2010, 09:56:51 PM
Um... Well, Chad would shrink, and then be trapped in his shirt, that wouldn't be too awkward (y'know, besides him turning into a crustacean.). In the first book, the group had to turn away the first few times they demorphed. I guess we could morph our clothes and shoes, but that would feel like cheating to me.... I thought that was a good counterweight to all the cool stuff. I vote for skin-tight only. From what I'm picturing, A small, deformed Chad is disappearing into his shirt. Yeah, It will be kinda weird for us to deal with that at times, but I figure it'll make it more... realistic, I guess.

That's a good bit of reasoning there, Jo. Smart thinking.

Name: Olivia Rush
Age/occupation: 21, Customs agent
Appearance: light skin, brown eyes, dark blond hair
Brief personal background: Olivia grew up in Washington D.C. with a strong love of country.  After graduating from high school as a homeschooler, she joined the Coast Guard.  But three five weeks in boot camp, her dream of flying a helicopter fell to pieces when she passed out during a training exercise.  After this change in plans, she goes back to D.C. to run for public office only to find that politics is dirty and to win they want you to play dirty too.  She for the past three years, she has worked as a customs agent.  She still feels like failure but that might change when someone tries smuggling a parrot and an odd box into the country.
Desired battle morph: Jaguar

She'll be joining as the other girl in the group.

Edit: I just thought of something... the cruise ship is going to end up back on the Texas coast. Would we have to bring Tarry with us through customs, or would he just fly away and meet us later? We're going to have to hide a parrot forever though... who wants a new pet?

Also, I think Brian might be a bear instead... not that I'd never use a cat morph, though!

Sure, go ahead with your character Tony, and any others you want too. Same for everyone else. My only hope for this RP is that we keep it kinda realistic (if that even applies to sentient parasitic slugs...), and similar-ish to the series. But other than that we can do whatever. I like the idea of you having an 'exotic' traitor... is it going to be like a Leeran, or something you made up?

He seems pretty cool with all of this for an old guy...

Because I working the next to days I'm posting random information about Jo and Olivia.

Jo can speak English, Spanish and enough French too get around Quebec and thinks sushi should be used as bait when fishing and plays the mandolin.

Olivia plays cello and has a boyfriend named Theodore in the Coast Guard whom she met at boot camp.

Post by: warren_bearclaw on November 01, 2010, 10:49:29 PM
Sure! Since our story isn't too horribly long yet, I'd suggest reading through it before you post. Oh, and make sure to put a character profile here in the OOC thread, too. We'd be glad to have you. The only restriction-like rule is that our RP is going on in the same universe as the series (so we might run into Visser Three, for example) and that it's starting at roughly the same time, so we don't want to be mixing universes (as I've made quite a stir by doing  ;D), or adding stuff that would change the original series. I hope that makes sense... if not, I'll try again! Also, we are all located in Houston, Texas (Wikipedia!), so that's useful to know... Um, am I missing anything guys?
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread

Ok!  I will definitely read through all the posts.  Just one question, does everyone have the power to morph already.  Or does nobody have that ability.  Or do we get the power along the way?
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: warren_bearclaw on November 01, 2010, 10:57:14 PM
 ;D Sean, Chad, Josefina, and Brian all have the morphing power. And (so far) they still have the morphing cube.

Just so everyone knows, I changed my 'Desired Battle Morph' to the Kodiak Bear. Did you know they are the biggest bears? The polar bear is the heaviest, and both are bigger than the grizzly bear. Bwaahahaha!

Ok.  Is it ok if whatever character I make gets attacked or something and is saved by you guys and since I know what you are, am given the power to morph?  Sort of like the whole "David thing" but ending up being an actual part of the group and not a traitor.

Name: Kristin Nolan
Age/grade: 18 (high school senior)
Appearance: Kristin has short dark hair with blood red highlights.  Normally dresses in jeans and a t shirt.  She is around 5 foot 7 inches tall.
Brief personal background: Kristin has always been an outcast.  She is very close with her parents but was teased at school constantly for being "too nerdy."  Kristin takes all honors classes and knew at a young age that she wanted to be a zoologist when she grew up.  When she turned 14, she began volunteering at the Houston Zoo to boost her college resume and because she always related better to animals.
Desired battle morph: Panther

I have to go to class now but I was hoping to post relatively soon.  How about I catch Jo morphing in the bathroom and run away and get caught by some Controllers who hear me babbling about seeing something morph.  Is that ok with everyone?
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: warren_bearclaw on November 02, 2010, 12:33:25 PM
Welcome to the cruise! (Or not, since we're back at port... ::)) Are you gonna end up being our 'Cassie'? (Just in the animal sense... unless you want to be the moral guide, too... whatever.) Just to be sure, Kristin has both of her birth parents, right? 'Cuz you'd be the only one with a traditional family. Lucky... I've noticed that we all like big cats! Not that there's a problem with that; the military issues the same gun to every soldier, so why couldn't we all have the same weapons, too?

Anyways, about your plot idea: It's reasonable. I think that Josefina was being rather careful when she went into the stall, but maybe you noticed that a different woman walked out? I'd definitely tail someone like that for a while, and try to figure out what the heck just happened. I guess there could be Controllers there... (Tony, you got an outpost in Galveston?); the island is just off the Texas coast, and it's fifty miles away from Houston, so that's doable. It would mean that the Texas Invasion is getting pretty large. (Remember, this is about the same time as book 1.) Not that I want to discourage you from jumping in by any means, maybe you could be involved like Olivia is... she doesn't know what's going on yet, but she'll be sucked in eventually.

Seeing that I'm apparently the one in charge of this RP, who is frequently checking in I might add *glares at Josh*, let me say this: As long as your posts are reasonable, none of us will question you. Have fun with your freedom!

I was thinking about being the "Cassie" in the animal sense.  Just because once this story really takes off and the characters need morphs, I thought there should be a place they could get morphs easily.  But I am not going to be Cassie in the moral sense.  Her morality always sorta bothered me.

Welcome halkgirl. Some girl power was so needed around here.
I've noticed that we all like big cats! Not that there's a problem with that; the military issues the same gun to every soldier, so why couldn't we all have the same weapons, too?

Don't forget Jo's moose because the princess must be different.  But also remember that Josefina lives on a farm and will know a thing or to about animals herself.  But Texas has very different animals than Nova Scotia so ...

Post by: warren_bearclaw on November 03, 2010, 12:05:26 PM
Oh don't worry, Jo! I would never forget you and your moose. (That's still dang freakin' awesome, IMO). Also, Sean is a Saltwater Crocodile, Brian is a Kodiak Bear, and so Chad, Kristen, and Olivia are the only ones who'll be using cats often... and I think they're all different cats, too.

Question?

@radgeek - did Jo change already or is she still in Olivia's morph? Did she just put the uniform clothes over her own or demorph as well?
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: radgeek on November 03, 2010, 08:45:46 PM
*rereads* Wow that was so unclear.  Jo is still in Olivia morph and she put uniform over her clothes.  I'll try rewriting it latter.

Post Merged: November 04, 2010, 07:34:39 AM
@Bear I don't remember Jo ever telling Mr. Black that she would be in morph.  All I can recall is that she would look for some one who was lazy and not really doing her job.  In fact I believe that Jo would not want Mr. Black to know she was about to impersonate a federal officer.

Post by: Hawkgirl on November 04, 2010, 03:58:27 PM
I had an idea.  Didn't Olivia yell for someone to catch the parrot?  Since Kristin volunteers at the zoo, what if she cathes the parrot and subdues it in a humane way and everyone else starts freaking out when they see I've caught him.  And then maybe it talks to me in thought-speak or something...

What I meant by "you don't look like a Davey" thing was that they were on the cruise together and probably go to the same school. So even if Kristin didn't really know Brian, she would probably have some clue as to his name.  And so the name Davey just doesn't seem right to her.  That's what I was trying to imply.

Have fun camping?  I miss going camping...

I'm back by the way!

Edit: Hey, how are we going to keep the government or whoever from tracking us? I mean, if we leave any luggage behind, we're toast. They looked at our passports, and surely we were on a camera. How do we fix this? Do the Yeerks come and clean it up? That would mean they know... so probably not. Um... does Olivia fix it? That could work...

Maybe Olivia just shuts down the power to the security system, or would that be too easy? I sure hope those guys aren't Yeerks, 'cuz we're all over the security feed right now, and that wouldn't be good if they find out who we are.....

(jk) I'm not against it... I think a little bit of it makes a story good, so long as it isn't lame. I'd like to ask if there is any, that it would develop reasonably... don't just suddenly fall in a heap and be kissing and stuff. That would be lame. A Chad+Kristen thing would be funny since Sean is involved....  ;D Y'know... Brian and Jo are in the same classes and stuff... ;D

Brian+Jo might be fun but Jo has spent her life being "one of the guys". So its really Brian's call.  Jo would never be the first to say anything about that.  Also she might not want any emotional attachments to keep clear reasoning.

Post by: warren_bearclaw on November 09, 2010, 11:44:40 PM
I was partly kidding, but not totally against it.

I'll let Tony decide of course, but I figured that his crew mates were eaten or died of other natural causes. They morphed to avoid detection when the Yeerks landed on the island... maybe a couple were killed by Yeerks. There probably weren't too many andalites in his party... but Tony can decide if there are others.

As for Tarrys status, I kind of picture him as older than Ax, an adult and full fledged warrior or prince.

You mean, sorta like Loren? I was hoping to make her a busy(er) mom, so that we wouldn't have to worry about her. And yes, we can both share her. Oi, that sounds weird. :P

It really is.  Though busy mom works too... That's what I was going to do with Brian, but I just decided she works at the school. Maybe a secretary? I don't know, that might things a little too difficult.

He'll become addicted to it and HAVE to come back sooner or later.

Kristen seems to be really perceptive. No one mentioned how to morph (unless it was behind the scenes), and she instinctively knew how to do it, and didn't even freak out. My guess is that you're an Estreen, or that you read lots of fantasy/sci-fi books...

I have gone over the deep end. I thought to myself today if this was a musical what would Jo be singing.  That was when this happened...
[spoiler]
Jo went to her room after dinner and cried.  She felt like a cannibal now.  But not eating would have raised suspicion.  Miriam was home for supper saying she had no idea where Merlin was so we should start without him.  She turned on her ham rig and tuned to a CW conversation, hoping that the rhythmic tones help her feel better.
  Instead of that she thought about how she could not trust her father, the person she always talked to about these things.  A tear landed on the shiny pick guard of her mandolin.  She picked it up and started to play.

I always came to you with my troubles
You were always their to trust
But now my biggest burden
Keeping to my self is a must

I wish to speak
Bein' a security leak
Makin' us weak

I love you but I don't trust you anymore
Its not your fault but just can't take the risk
This is war and I fight for you
This is not my first wish

I don't want you to worry about me
I wish you strength not weakness
Fight when your time comes to you
Now I wait alone and anxious

I wish to speak
Bein' a security leak
Makin' us weak

I love you but I don't trust you anymore
Its not your fault but just can't take the risk
This is war and I fight for you
This is not my first wish[/spoiler]

It is very bad please for give me for posting this.

Kristin does read a lot of sci fi/fantasy books.  SHe has always been a bit of a loner so books are are way for her to escape.  And that sounds like a good idea, for her to be an estreen. 

Obviously. :P That's really cool. And I don't think your mind was just wandering...

Will there be a place to get morphs?

Kristin volunteers at the Houston Zoo so there will be a place to get morphs.

Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: Hawkgirl on November 17, 2010, 05:20:52 PM
I don't know where Chad's house is in relation to the zoo.  But I believe Kristin did mention her volunteering at the zoo when everyone was debating what to do with Tarry. 

Random question.  Since the cruise is over, is summer over as well?  Does school start the next day in this story?  Because if it is still summer or at least a weekend, maybe Chad could go to the zoo on a regular visit and see Kristin working there.

They're in your car, right? Um... far away? Far, far away, I think. I dunno. Tarry would have no idea where a good hiding place would be... have Olivia think of something (Sorry to dump the choice on you... kinda. You ARE the driver...). Let's just assume that they get off of Galveston Island all right (there's a bridge) and then maybe they hide in the sand dunes or something. Or maybe the get closer to Houston....
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: radgeek on November 18, 2010, 01:25:30 PM
Yes, they are in a car.  But even if they hide in sand dunes they will need to dump the car at some point and walk.  Also how does she communicate with the rest of the morphers.  I always assumed that the number Olivia gave Jo was a home number.
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread

Good point, the Meddler was involved. Okay, native bird for you... if you can catch one (?)... We could give it a shot. It would be a logical thought for Olivia, I think... but then again, Tarry would know better. Grr... Yet again, native bird for you. You could be an Endangered Prairie Chicken! They have a wildlife preservation for them west of Houston. Even though Galveston is southeast...

Hmm... is bald eagle native?  *knows Olivia will never catch one*  Other idea that passed though my head was that Olivia spends the night hiding in Josefina morph.
I think we established that we don't need more morphers but I think we might still lack Yeerks.  Best to ask Tony though.
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: warren_bearclaw on November 18, 2010, 11:56:56 PM
*blink, blink* Yeah, duh me! Tony (The Missing Animorph) is the head sub-visser of the Texan Invasion Force (or whatever he calls it.) Also, He's currently controlling the Andalite/parrot nothlit named Tarrade-Gerassus-Escallon (but we call him 'Tarry'), so I'm sure he wouldn't mind some help with the Yeerks. He's out for short periods of time every once and a while, so I'm covering for him right now... it's confusing sometimes, I know. :)

There should be a time skip for the sake of pacing I think.  Jo getting back in the house can be handled with a look back type post.  Olivia still needs to dump the car and get a change of clothing but that might also be done with a look back post.

Host: Merlin Fairfax (last name from his birth father)
Host age: 20
Host appearance: Blond hair, icy blue eyes, fair skin, groomed, wears glasses to read
Host backstory: Merlin became a voluntary host to Jazar after becoming a member of the sharing at his college.  He knew that in the end humans will have no way to fight the Yeerks and he always wants to be on the winning side.  Both Jazar and Merlin want the power of Sub Visser 3's job and are willing to do anything to get it.  Merlin helped his Jazar make his mother a controller.
Yeerk: Jalzar 721
Yeerk backstory: Jalzar's old host was a rebellious Hork-bajir that fought him every day. He finds Merlin to be a refreshing host in comparison.  He is worried that he might be trusting his host too much.

Steph was nice enough to give me karma just for saying "swerve".  This is way more epic than that.

Host: Miriam Jordan (Broadcast talent usually keep their maiden names)
Host age: 42
Host appearance: Blond curly hair, brown eyes, fair skin, the general make for TV look
Host backstory: Miriam had big dreams of working in the number 1 news market in the country, New York City.  With a degree in broadcast journalism, she went there after college leaving her family in Louisiana.  But the city knows how to take dreams and leave dreamer with nothing but ashes.  That is what her first love, Mr. Fairfax, did to her heart.  He left her when she found out that she was pregnant.  As a single mother she traveled from market to market were ever she could find work.  When she first met Mr. Woodhouse she fell in love but checked to see if he was too before pledging her heart to him.  Farmers didn't hop around looking for jobs they stay in one place, but she was willing to stay in Houston with the family they had.  It was not the girlhood dream she had but she would not give this up for that dream.  Then her son took her out to dinner...
Yeerk: Sandresh 85942
Yeerk backstory: Sandresh's old host was a Taxxon, always hungery and evil.  This new host fought with her every waking moment.  But love for her husband and the son that betrayed her and the daughter she was just getting to know kept up Miriam's fight.

Well.... First off, I'm assuming you meant that the Yeerk died. Next... you see, our little band of good guys has already increased to seven, and they are (at least supposed to be) trying to keep anyone else from finding out about them. Y'know, the whole I-don't-wanna-die thing. Unless we had a real reason to capture this kid, or a real opportunity, I think we'd have to let him pass. Tarry (The andalite nothlit) would just about flip his lid if anyone else got the morphing power. It's not that we don't want you to join, gorrilaman, it's just that another character would make things really difficult. I'm willing to bet that the Yeerks could use some help, but the 'good guys' are pretty full.

Jo is the Canadian Moose! You don't remember me flipping out over that one? What an awesome idea!

Here's a list of all the Battle Morphs we've picked (at least as our primaries)...:

Brian: Kodiak Bear
Sean: Saltwater Crocodile
Chad: Lion
Jo: Canadian Moose
Olivia: Jaguar
Kristen: Panther
Tarry: Scarlet Macaw

No air support morphs?  Hmmm Olivia wanted to be a helicopter pilot anyway so would it be so bad if Olivia was a bald eagle.
Also we can't have two Jos at the coffee shop or Olivia showing up as herself.  What can be done about this?

Post by: warren_bearclaw on November 21, 2010, 12:07:34 AM
Small animal? And we've got Tarry for the air, but I'm not stopping you for using that as you're battle morph. Keep in mind that you can use morphs other than your 'battle morph' whenever you want. We can be having an epic fight and then you turn into a duck if you want.

I agree.  It was really rare for kids to have cell phones back then.  It was rare for most people to have cell phones back then.  I think maybe Sean would have one so that Chad would always be able to contact him but I'm not sure about Olivia.  But that is up to Rad so...yeah.

It is a bit much to read.  So unless Prince Bear of Visser Tony say other wise I think your in.  Tony was just about to create a new Yeerk anyway.  How do you feel about a host that is a Canadian farmer that moved to Texas for true love?

When Jo goes home and figures out what is going on with her fam her will morph Olivia, to make them think she is Olivia demorphing, and run for her life.  Way am I sharing this? Because the OSVers may need to do the scene without me.

Please remember that all things said in the in this or the RP might be put in OSV the novel.

Final words? What, like Bon Voyage? jk

Like Rad said, we have as many morphers as we need right now, but there's a possibility that we'll open more in the future (probably distant future). Tony/The Missing Animorph is in charge of the Texas Yeerk Invasion, and I bet he wouldn't mind having you take on an extra controller. We only have two people controlling Yeerks....

Brian, Josefina (or Jo), Chad and Sean (Chad's dad) are one a small sail boat in the Caribbean, when they find the morphing cube.  They pass it around before Tarry flys up to them and says that he an Andalite trapped in parrot morph and we all have the power to morph and are threatened by the Yeerks.  They don't believe him.  So to prove it Jo and Chad acquire a crab and Chad morphs it.
When that get to Galveston, Jo is worried about getting the the cube passed customs.  So she takes the initiative and goes first and acquires Olivia a customs agent.  She is spotted morphing by Kristen.  Chad has the cube in his backpack when Olivia (not Jo he didn't get the hint) and she touches it and... that scene was rather crazy so let's summarize by saying the morphers gained two new members and Olivia acquired Jo.
The Yeerks hear of this odd activity and infest the entire customs office only Olivia runs away with Tarry.  She hide in the streets that night by staying in Josefina morph until Sean picks her up and takes her to Houston.
Right now Tarry is chilling in Sean's apartment, while the morphers meet at a coffee shop to talk about the war.

The Yeerks know that a human, either Olivia or Jo, can morph.  They do not know if they are associated with Andalites.  Want Jazar wants to do is 1. find where Jo annd Olivia are. 2. Find out want they know about the Yeerks and the Andalites and if they told anyone.   3. Where is the morphing cube now.

Also Visser 3 could know about humans in Texas and still think that he is fighting Andalites in California because with an Andalite host he might let the Andalite ego get to him.

Ultor needs to be demoted later anyway for it to make sense with the series. The books actually tell us who is second in command to visser three (around number thirty or so) and it isn't Ultor, it's Taylor.

I figured the Yeerks would set up pools and begin infestation in some of the most highly populated places...

Look here for a list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population

Boston is number 20... so I'd say maybe, but I doubt it. They'd obviously start with the bigger places. California has three of the top ten, and so does Texas. (San Antonio and Houston aren't that far apart....) I don't know about anywhere near Boston though... Remember, it's still early on in the invasion.

Well, a stray, or any dog with no owner, leash, or collar in the complex would get someone's attention (assuming they saw you) and they might just call animal control.

Olivia always wanted to fly that was her dream before it was shattered.  But I think two bird nothlets might be overkill.  I think I'll but her in squirrel morph.  With Jo in dog morph that should be fun.
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: HiImshort on December 09, 2010, 10:26:19 PM
A squirrel and a dog? That should be real fun. Question: Why doesn't anyone get like a crow or vulture or even a snake morph?

And top of that can we hurry this up? I would like to post again before christmas

The morphers are getting battle morph on this mission.  Sean hasn't even morphed yet.  Hint, hint prince Bear.

Since it seem that the Visser Tony is busy with his new job, I say their is no pool in Boston.  A Jazar post is coming your way soon.

Hint taken. Like, a week ago. Let's wait for Kristen before we go into the zoo... (Sorry Hawkgirl for getting so far ahead! Hope you don't mind...) Does Jo have a small animal morph? Does Chad? He could crab-walk under the fence....
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: radgeek on December 10, 2010, 01:27:17 AM
If Sean acquired the squirrel than I guess Josefina might have to.  Thought it would seem bad for her crab morph to go to wast.
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: Josh (J) on December 10, 2010, 07:33:54 AM
Chad the Crab must crab-walk under the fence? :P
And the morph must go to wast (Old English we're talking now? He wast there. Nice, rad). :P
And Bear, why are you switching from past tense to present tense in your RPing? Could you stick to one, please? "Sean chased after Jo....he manages to catch his breath...he says...he couldn't avoid it." One tense, peoples, one tense.

Now that I've been very annoying, I shall retreat. :P

Hey Shorty? Not to be picky, but would the Yeerks now that Jo was at the coffee shop with other kids? Was their a Controller witness, or what? And maybe I missed it, but how was she traced to that shop... did she use a credit card or something?

It can if y'all want it to, but I figured that the coffee shop would have no cameras there. Yeah, it's at the mall, but I imagined it on or near the edge, so it wouldn't have any cameras watching it. Maybe that's just wishful thinking, since all of our guys are toast if there is any video of them being there....

A new controller was made of foreign tea sellers.  One thing that Jazar did know about his new Canadian family is that they liked tea and would not drink the American stuff.  Since our favourite coffee shop had such teas the employees would have been infested.

Oh great Prince Bear, master of the world (NOT), JoshBear, we call upon you. *is starting to sound like Eustace and Jill*

Ahem.

Well, the Anis themselves are full as of the moment, but maybe there might be some space for you to join on the Yeerk side. You'll have to get our resident Yeerk expert (aka Tony, or TRA [who, is pretty decent, if I may say so myself]) to help ya there.
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: warren_bearclaw on December 12, 2010, 02:46:29 PM
Sorry, but our morphing team is kinda full right now. We might expand later on, but not at the moment. The Yeerk side could have some help. And there was mention (if not more) of a Yeerk Peace Movement/Resistance, or something like that. Definitely ask Tony about that. He's glad for some help there, and he's pretty busy handling the Yeerks and our favorite Alien-Parrot, too.

Random Question for everyone: What do y'all think about someone else getting trapped in morph? Like, way later on in the RP? Is that something we should avoid, or is it a viable option?
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread

...What would the rest of y'all think about that? I can't promise right now that you'd become morph capable, at least not for a while. But it would sure be interesting to have someone RP a character that is oblivious to the war. If your nice, maybe Brian trusts you if and when they decide to find someone else, or in some other tight spot. And would you be okay with Brian already knowing your character from school, but not really 'knowing' you yet?

So it's agreed? Gorillaman, you're in! Brian and (whatever your guy will be named) will meet at the Sharing meeting. Maybe something crazy happens there, but hopefully not. I figure that either a) Brian finds out it's a Yeerk front in some crazy accident or something, or b) it goes smoothly, and Brian comes again. Maybe they try to infest him after a while.... :paranoid: You're guy won't know about the Yeerks, morphing, etc. for a while.... Does that sound like a plan to you?

Let's assume that Tarry flies in. It's pretty obvious that's what he'd do (duh?), and Tony will be pleasantly surprised when he finds us in the zoo already.

And Hawkgirl's been on Facebook several times this week.... just thought I'd mention that.

oops... I just realized that the tower thing we met at at the park was across the lake from the zoo. Apparently, we can run on water.  :P We're just that awesome. Let's say that we entered between the red crowned crane and the great hornbill at the top of the map:
[spoiler=map](http://www.houstonzoo.org/attachments/wysiwyg/79589/New%20Zoo%20Map_VERT_rev10_2010.png)[/spoiler] [spoiler=link to larger map]http://www.houstonzoo.org/attachments/wysiwyg/79589/New%20Zoo%20Map_VERT_rev10_2010.png[/spoiler]

We'll just add whatever animals we want, but this way, we can know where they would be. I figure the moose would be by the antelopes and okapis near the bottom, for example. And instead of spectacled bears, it'll be kodiak bears, for example. Who says they didn't have these animals in the '90s, anyways?

J, Rad, and Tony... I really want to speed up the zoo scene we're in, and I think y'all might too. Do any of you plan on having anything interesting happen in the zoo? If not, we could just say "(insert character here) acquired this, this, and this morph." We could post 'something interesting' in a pretense, and time-skip to after the zoo. Or maybe like through a big chunk of the zoo. Like, we all acquire two or three morphs per post. What do y'all think? (Sorry Tony, since you won't be acquiring, but I figured I'd ask what you think, too.)

Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: warren_bearclaw on December 19, 2010, 01:11:37 PM
.... :dull: Is that better?

Okay, so we'll take turns posting. Make 'em kinda long-ish (not "Sean acquired the tiger, the rhino, and the crocodile."), and somewhat realistic. Maybe some of the animals get loud, maybe some try to run, or whatever. In a real situation like this, I figure our characters would for the most part all acquire the same animals, since it would be easier once it's in a trance already. But we can definitely do some individual acquiring, too, if wanted. Keep in mind that just 'cuz Sean were to acquire a moose (for example) it doesn't mean he'd use it a lot, or even ever at all. Jo never used her crab morph...

Now let's go wrangle us some critters!

Okay, but you should know better...

Yes, assuming the bird was close enough to the bars. We're gonna make the Houston Zoo's security look like a petting zoo or something!  :P We need to get our morphs, and remember how Cassie just walked into the back without a key or anything in the first book? We'll do that, for the most part. I guess it was kinda silly for me to say the aviary was locked if we're just gonna hop right into the others... Maybe some doors are locked and some aren't? Lazy security guards? Gah! Where is Kristen?!? Maybe we miraculously find a set of keys. .....

I would recommend looking at the map (http://www.houstonzoo.org/attachments/wysiwyg/79589/New%20Zoo%20Map_VERT_rev10_2010.png) during this part. I have to go in ten minutes, so y'all can GM Sean. Actually, please do. So long as nothing crazy happens, and he stays semi in-character, I'll be happy. Also, I would like for him to acquire:

*A mountain lion,
*a saltwater crocodile,
*a maned wolf (or maybe we change it to Timber Wolves?),
*some kind of snake (have fun with that one!),
*a bird of prey (a hawk, and owl, an eagle... whatever y'all choose),
*and some kind of small monkey or ape.

That will bring Sean to eight while at the zoo, (including the otter and white-tailed deer, oh and the canadian goose, so that's nine).

I'd really appreciate it if y'all can do that for me, since I won't be on till after midnight.  ::) If you don't want to, that's fine, and if you can't really work every one of those animals in, then don't worry about them. I'll take whatever you give me. The only things I don't really want is a big cat other than a puma/mountain lion/cougar/mexican wildcat (I love how many names it has!), a gorilla, or bear. Any thing else that y'all acquire would be fine, since Sean will be following for now.

Just think about how much fun we can have with this! I mean, we could have hippos, rhinos, mandrills, poison dart frogs (just don't lick your fingers....), bats, komodo dragons, prairie dogs, .... anything and everything (except pandas....)!

Post by: Josh (J) on December 19, 2010, 02:30:46 PM
Yep, I'm writing the post now. Chad's found the key and got a tiger morph in a long way. How about me controlling all the characters for now, and I'll make Sean get a morph...?

I can't speak for Rad, and Brian is already tucked away. I guess you could control Tarry. Not that he'd be too involved with this, but he's still there. Sean is already at the Big Cats, so Mountain Lion should be easy right now. Keep in mind which animals are nocturnal...

OOC: Rad, I'm getting off until tomorrrow. You'll have to post for the acquiring. Chad can get one if you want to make it...
Since J didn't really specify, I take it he was cool with whatever. He got his tiger morph, so I figure he'd be okay with whatever. And if he didn't/doesn't like what we/I pick then he can take his own date with Kristen trip to the zoo soon. And by the way J, did Sean acquire an African Lion, or a Mountain Lion? Whichever one is fine, really....

Arctic Fox...  I can work that in there. And Pigeon? Really? Whatever... to each her own... And you want a penguin? Now I'm really confused... This ain't Maine, it's Texas, and it's hot here (jk). I'm sure you know what you're doing; it just seems a little odd with all of the arctic animals.

Notice that is Jo with the one with cold weather morphs.  When a controller sees a cold weather animal she wants them to know it is her.  I've picked the galapagos penguin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galápagos_Penguin) for her so it is not completely arctic.

I mean, Ax seems to miss his family a lot, like a human would, and Elfangor cares about Ax even before his little brother is born (though he was in human morph as the time), it makes sense that Arbron would care about his family unless he had a relationship with his family like I've given to Tarrade.

I figure that we before they see us, we hide and morph whatever we can. Like, Sean will have to choose between a goose and a rattler, so... yeah. Or maybe the squirrel, but that's boring....

I don't want Sean to be found out if we can avoid it, and I really really hope that Chad isn't identified either. It seems that it's inevitable in Brian's case... *sigh* what are we gonna do with our renegades? Find an abandoned house?

So... ?.? I'm confuzzled. No offense or anything, but Christina isn't as awe-inspiring as 'The Ellimist'. Have you ever seen Monster vs. Aliens ( I have, due to small children)? It's like the scene from there where they ask:

"So when people see you coming, what do they call you?"
"uh.. Susan?"
"That's horrifying!" *dramatic voice* "SUUUUUSAN! Oh! I just scared myself!"

I'm not trying to knock your idea off the slate or anything, but I'm not sure I understand. Basically, you'd be the Ellimist, but be called by your IRL name?

Correction. I don't play Terry.

I'm not sure which book he's not in first. I say if we need a random cameo from the Visser, we just pick a point between two books that weren't within a day of each other, if that makes sense. And what would be the Texan equivalent of unused subways? Abandoned farmhouses?

Post by: warren_bearclaw on December 24, 2010, 11:31:23 PM
I think the whole below sea level thing would kinda make it hard for them to live with subways.... And there aren't many tunnels in general... ((You did notice that was a hyper link, right?)) And maybe New Yorkers would be used to tunnels would be used to it, but not many Texans.. it would just be weird to live in a tunnel for any extended period of time. As far as I know, not a single person in Texas has a basement, either.

From book one...
Quote
I took a deep breath.  I closed my eyes.  I recalled the picture of Homer I'd formed in my mind.  I thought about becoming Homer.
I opened my eyes.  "Bow wow," I said, laughing.  "Guess it didn't work for me, Tobias."
The back of my hand itched and I scratched it.
"Jake?" Tobias said.
"What?"
"Look at your hand."
I looked at my hand.  It was covered with orange fur.
I jumped about a foot in the air.  "Ohh!  Ohh!" I stared at my hand.  The fur had stopped growing.
"Don't be scared," Tobias advised.  "Go with it.  Now you've stopped the morph.  You have to concentrate."
I did my research too.  Mid-morph changes mean breaking concentration not keeping it.

okay my darlings, I am back in town! I resent any and all atempts, sucessful and unsucessful, to replace me. I feel betrayed and stabbed in the back. That said, I am ready to resume my duties if you'll have me. I will catch up on all my stuff.

Where did you leave off, Tony -question mark- in a nutshell, the group has gotten some morphs at the zoo. and are now at sean's house. real nutshell version.

Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: warren_bearclaw on January 06, 2011, 06:44:06 PM
yeah, extreme nut-shell version. Um... Jo and Olivia are both identified and wanted by the Yeerks. Brian went to a Sharing meeting with his little brother and meets Merlin, Jo's step-brother. Brian told Merlin he'd help with a search for Jo today, in game time. The night before, Brian nearly died at the zoo, and almost got himself caught by the guards. The others (Sean, Chad, Olivia, Jo, and Tarry... kinda) were more successful. Tarry explained the Frolis Manuever to Jo, and asked Sean about the meaning of the McDonald's sign.  :P Um... I think that's everything since you were on last....

In reality, it'd probably be outside Beltway 8, which is a good 45 minutes to the Zoo, without traffic. For the sake of the story, though, that's probably way too far.

Well hey, at least we haven't scared you away or anything!

Maybe we can explain away Kristen's sudden disappearance with a death in the family, and she got carted off to who knows where. Seeing as how she volunteers at the zoo, it would be pretty easy for her/you to pick up a few morphs. The cool part is, the morphs she acquires could be a surprise for the rest of us, since no one went with her. Or somethin' like that.

Ok, I caught up with reading the RP. Since Kristin was only MIA between the coffee house and the next morning, I think just an obligatory family thing should be enough of an excuse. What's a good way to bring her back into the action? Would she try calling one of them? Would she even know their phone numbers?
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: warren_bearclaw on January 13, 2011, 01:32:23 PM
*throws confetti* I take it you've decided to join us. Yeehaw! It's more fun when you've got more players. Sure, we have lots of characters, but it's not the same when everyone's doubled up. Welcome Aboard!

Anyways.... I don't really know. I don't think she would have had anyone's phone numbers or addresses, unless we just want to say she got them behind the scenes. I think a logical way to bring her back in would be for her to hear about the search for Jo on the news or something and decide to go to that, to try and figure out what's going on. Unless we want to assume that she did get contact information somehow, she has no way of getting in touch with the rest of us until school starts in a week or so. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but today's Sunday in-game, and NEXT Monday is the first day of school. Somethin' like that....). She'd run into Jo, Brian, and Olivia that way.
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: radgeek on January 13, 2011, 02:06:12 PM
In game the day is Sunday and School starts that TUESDAY.  (homecshoolers don't even know when school starts)  I'm so glad to have you around Marie.  Just so you know there will be a light shower with some thunder in game later.  (they must remember the weather)

EDIT: Prince Bear I come to you as a Yeerk writer that can't find her Visser.  Could you, as the mighty prince you are, allow me to control my the Sub-Visser character for now.  Jazar and Sandresh are lost without him.

I hate to say it, but I'll be gone from Friday evening till Sunday afternoon. I'm going camping!! I couldn't think of a reasonable way to put Sean Brian and Tarry out of play temporarily, but I figure they'll be fine. I figure y'all can do some mild Yeerking with my characters if needed.

And I would guess that  Tuesday start dates for students are generally preceded by Monday teacher work days. The school is probably open on Monday, but there are no classes.

What a crazy coincidence, haha. Well, I attended public schools from Kindergarten through 12th grade, so feel free to field related questions to me. I figure y'all have a pretty good grasp of what it's like, though.

I reckon I'll have Kristin lay low while y'all do your thing on Sunday and Monday, and then she'll meet up with you at school on Tuesday. I'll post a retroactive post in the meantime, talking about how she stayed late at work one night to acquire several zoo animals, if that sounds good with you guys.

Since the Yeerks seem to be watching the zoo closely now, however, I'd be happy to post her misadventures in real time so that a fight and/or chase scene can ensue.

I like it when the Yeerks can have plans that the writers of the morphers don't know about.  Like Jazar and Sandresh, that was so fun.  Props are getting in character in the last post.

Our roleplay is slowing down WAY too much. Certian select members of the group that are particularly important to the plot at the moment need to post more (Jangel). Also, where is Jazar at right now? Ultor wants to talk to him and I'm planning on having Kildor break the news about the resistance to the morphers and get the first big mission started right now. Kildor 'volunteered' to drive Ultor to his destination for a reason.

Let's get the search goin' soon-ish. I agree (sorta) with Tony. Not much has happened. For the most part, you guys can just ignore Sean and Chad's tangent for a little while, since they aren't going to affect y'all at all with their sentimental conversations..... ::)

And is Marie on? We don't want to leave her in the dust; I think she's waiting for the search to begin for Kristen to pop back in. Or.. something like that.

And Kildor has just grabbed Brian's arm, right Tony? I mean, he's not forcibly dragging him to the back is he? Brian has a thing for altering the flow of time when someone moves him against his will (refer to the bear incident at the zoo :P) Jk

I'm here but I'm about to go to a memorial service in 30 minutes. The service is over an hour drive away, so I'll be gone most of the day.

Also, I was unclear on what was going to happen at the zoo. I can invent some Yeerks to give my character chase or I can let one of y'all do it. Up to you guys. I don't want to step on toes.

Yeah, Kildor just grabbed his arm! Kildor is, however, entirly serious about revealing you to SV2. Either you help the resistance or you don't get to live. Kildor is very vicious in his own way.

Our poor people. We're all gonna be on the Yeerks' Most Wanted list by the end of the week. The Animorphs had it easy compared to us. *sigh*

Across the street is the police department and there is a McDonald's near by.
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: warren_bearclaw on January 29, 2011, 01:45:38 PM
That location works for me. The only things to keep in mind are that Sean's apartment complex has a fence and gate, kinda like here (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=thistle+ln+dallas+tex&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Thistle+Ln,+Dallas,+Texas+75240&gl=us&ll=32.925172,-96.778339&spn=0.001594,0.003937&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=32.925316,-96.778461&panoid=HRZ2VvbMpgiC0Trz7hQ4cg&cbp=12,36.66,,0,-1.19) (except, well, with a fence and gate :P.) We'll just pretend that the parking garage is a gated parking lot instead. That spot will be fine for Sean's place, but we'll just have to remember that it has a balcony, too. And the McDonald's across the street has a big golden arches sign on it for Tarry to notice.

I noticed that the Woodhouse is kinda far from Hermann Park for example, but another thing that we should keep in mind is that sometimes, even if you live in a different school district, you can request to go to a different school than you might otherwise. In other words, even if Jo doesn't live close enough to our school to automatically go there, we'll just say her dad had her transferred to the better school.

And also... Marie, what do you think about all of this? I mean, you are our native Houstonian... We're using a little bit of imagination here on somethings, but we would like to keep it reasonably reasonable. Any suggestions?

I made a map in Google Maps that has several of our important locations pinned on it. I can add more later, but here it is:
OSV map (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=218094005479606790321.00049af605c797a80d138&ll=30.135626,-95.355835&spn=0.831369,2.015991&t=h&z=9)

I think it sounds good! Yeah, it's fine to fudge things that don't matter but keep the story working for you. :) I like all the research. If y'all have questions about the area, I'll be happy to answer them as well as I can.

On a fun side note, I spent much of today in Hermann Park right beside the zoo!

@Rad: WTH???? What am I supposed to do with that? That's not fair, putting Brian in a position like that! What am I... how can I.. huh?

@Everyone: Tony/Unknown User has agreed to officially hand over ownership of Tarry (who I've been 'babysitting' for him) to Donut. He's recently taken an interest in this RP, specifically in Tarry, and it would do our favorite feathered Andalite good for him to have a devoted RPer writing for him.

At least Wintium will be promoted to a position that is about third in charge of fourth in charge of the operation. It goes like this:

Ultor: Sub-visser
Jazar: Ultor's (soon to be) Personal aide
The Man: (soon to be) Head of security
Wintium:  (soon to be) Complex manager

Someone needs to stop Ultor from infesting Jo...unless you want it to happen. It would be interesting to be outlaws from the start.

I had to think of something.  The idea is that Jo would have put in her system Yeerk poison after she was a moose.  The poison would be fatal to her as well but it would take more time.  She would get infested.   The Yeerk would die.  And Jo would have to demorph before dyeing herself.

Jo has no such thing.

Can't do it, I gotta have the morpher for myself. I am, however, gonna need someone to infest my old host! Edward is very important, he is how we pay for all the things we need for the invasion of texas; that is why Ultor infested him originally. Edward owns a huge corporation called Futuristics Inc. I mentioned it in the beginning of our game. You can do that if you wan't or you can make up a random yeerk and be my bodygaurd or driver or butler or a resistance member.

A duet between Jo and Ultor.  I normally won't have Jo sing like this because she's an alto but since she can't use her voice I don't think that matters now.

Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: warren_bearclaw on February 04, 2011, 02:24:37 PM
I'm gonna say he was too far away... he didn't hear any of y'alls conversation, but don't worry, he won't somehow find out by the time you catch up with him.

Post by: warren_bearclaw on February 04, 2011, 02:37:57 PM
...oh, I guess you did... I figured you were having Olivia respond to 'Jo' saying she'd stand guard or something like that... I guess you can be in range, it's just got to be pretty faint. Maybe since you guys were just talking at normal levels Brian couldn't here you well, but maybe Brian was projecting his thought speak loudly, (just to y'all of course), so you could hear it...

or something like that.

btw, if this is parallel to the original series, then the Yeerks can't (permanently) get the morphing cube. And Visser Three probably should never hear about this.
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread

Agreed
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: Unknown User on February 04, 2011, 03:31:56 PM
The yeerks won't get it and the Visser won't hear it. When you guys finally confront Ultor/Jo, Kildor is most likely gonna be there (if I can wing it) and is gonna take out The Man and (if Rad agree's ) at least wound Jazar. I'm ultimately gonna leave it up to you guys weather or not Ultor makes it back to base. If he does, your gonna have to trash the yeerk pool complex. If you take that route, Kildor will get you into the complex and help you blow part of it up. He hates the yeerks and has his own personal pool as a high ranking intelligence officer.

So the real question is... are all of our morphers going to make it through this little adventure? We've agreed that we don't all make it til the 'end'... Everyone is okay with the concept of losing their characters, right? For the sake of realism, that is...
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: radgeek on February 04, 2011, 03:53:06 PM
Not so early.  Olivia hasn't so much as seen a Hork-Bajir yet.  Right now the only characters of min that I can see dieing are Wintium and Jo until the 10th.

Um... yeah, that works. I'd figured that Kristen would have heard about the search and could've met us there, but it's over now (officially, and un-officially), so that really wouldn't work. And it would be really lame if she had to wait for school tomorrow, considering that she'd be the only one there (since Chad will be 'absent') and then she'd get nabbed real easy. It makes sense for them to all swap contact info at the coffee shop.

Um... I just kinda figured that somehow, the rest of us would figure out, and thus, he'd be pulled from school with a note from his dad.... We have that tendency to make things happen very fast in-game... this is what? Day four after finding Tarry?

If the rest of us don't figure out Jo's infested, then he'll go on to school like normal.

Perfect opertunity to catch Ultor if you want to take it... Kildor has revealed himself as a traitor to the other yeerks so if he lives through this fight you might have to hide him so he can help you attack the pool. Feel free to kill any of my characters in this fight but just know that killing Ultor currently means killing Jo.

Post by: Unknown User on February 08, 2011, 11:06:21 AM
It's not a matter of fear, it's a matter of survival. ultor know's he probably won't win against two morphers, and andalite nothlit, and a yeerk traitor. Besides, he never wanted the fight that Jazar and kildor started, it wasn't part of his plan and it wasn't the right moment. Ultor sees it as a retreat and isn't really worried about fooling the morphers anymore. That is why he ran through the woods screaming that he was a yeerk and that he needed back-up.

The characters that karam has been spent on are Wintium, Jo and Olivia.  This must live.

Yes, I was going to kill him right after I killed Jazar (I feel so evil right now) but it kind of slipped my/Kildor's mind. This may turn out to be a problem later, but for now I'll let the man live. I'm thinking of having him take his millions of dollars and fleeing to the himilayas or soemthing.

If you didn't notice, I've officially taken over Tarry.
Here's to hoping I don't mess up too bad.   ;)

Jo dying is a joint decision between Rad and Tony now.  It's both of their characters.  I don't think a dracon beam on stun will do much more than numb the elephant, but Brian fiddled with the controls, so...

I told Bear to change the quote.  I figured it would be fairly obscure for Tarry to have heard it or remembered it if he had.  I also don't think he would have started quoting humans just yet.  He's only been there 4(?) days, regardless of how much he studied them.

I know he wanted to be a scientist, but he's been a soldier for 15 years.  He's more soldier than scientist at this point.

That's awfully... convenient of you. I was kinda wondering why a yeerk would leave a host like that ever, even under threat of starvation, but I think the Yeerks are often... not cowards, but they would respond like that. Temrash (Tom/Jake's Yeerk) was like that. He never got Jake stuck in morph, even when he was about to die. And I think there were others too. Maybe death in a host is much worse than dying in their natural state.

I could find the post for you later if needed, but I'm fairly certain that all of the people left earlier. I think that Rad's Yeerk character implied that everyone else had already been taken, except for Shaun. And after they started firing Dracons, everyone ran. Which means that A) we have no innocent bystanders to worry about, or B) the innocent bystanders have already fled.

I kept telling myself, "It's too soon, I have to slow it down a bit," as far as the Brian/Jo thing went, but you do have to keep in mind that they did spend the entire cruise together. You can really build up a relationship in a space of two weeks plus.

But it all involves me.  We need more girls here.  Anyway Jo's been one of the guys all her life so think about a guy as more than a friend takes a while.

Too bad Jo wasn't infested long enough for me to use this song.  *plans to make y'all laugh*

"I don't think dragging is a good idea for some one so badly hurt," Jo said but none the less taking his advice.  "I'll try to gentle."
I know this isn't you making the decision, it's Jo, but... Oh. My. Gosh. That is possibly the worst thing to do in a first aid situation. >.< I guess since he's already moved on his own, it isn't that bad, but still. Concussion. Major Car Crash. Broken Limbs. Shock. Loss of Blood. The inner Boy Scout in me is kinda freakin' out right now. "NOOOO! DON'T MOVE HIM!!!!!" :P

"Until either the Morphers or the Yeerks come for us," Olivia said.  If its morphing Yeerks I'm running for my life.  Tat might happen since Jo knows where the escafle device is.
Sean has the device, as I'm sure y'all remember, but I haven't disclosed exactly where he's put it. It isn't just sitting on the coffee table or anything... And I can tell you if you want me to, but I figured by keeping it a secret, it would just be better that way.

NOTE: The morphing cube is in an undisclosed location, though the other characters should assume it's at Sean's place.

Also, for the sake of story plot convenience, let's say that Sean, Kristen, and Chad arrive at the barn now. :P That's where they're going, and they wouldn't be able to see Brian, Edward, and Olivia out in the woods from the barn.

Will post soon Tony.

And, um... Gman...? I know that we've inconveniently left your character out of the action, but I think that him being left home alone without notice for an undetermined period of time with a couple thousand dollars isn't too ... realistic. Perhaps you've got a plan for that though... if so, I'm not going to ask you to spoil it, but I'd appreciate you sending me the gist of your plan by PM. We really don't know much about your character or his family, so that might be a logical event. It just seems a little out of place though without any background to explain the 2 G's left for him all of the sudden.

On another note, Shaun will still have things he can do. There is the Sharing, which he's already gone to. And school will be starting the next day. As far as I can tell right now, Kristen (and *maybe* Chad) will still be going, so you could run into them there. Not that he should know they're connected to Brian, but still. Also, Brian's mom is the school secretary. And there's also Brian's younger brother Ben who'll be at both school and the Sharing. Also, he was at the Yeerk's 'search party', but he wasn't accounted for, infested or not. I'll let Jo and Tony decide this, but the Yeerks might still want him taken.

A friend heard the audio drama and thought that the mant (man/ant) should be important some how.  So a crazy idea came to my head.  I didn't want to share it but it just so crazy...

Our morphers fight and die off one by one leaving only Chad.  (I'm saying Chad because the mant's hair was red like Chad's.)  He stays alive until the end of the war only to find that the Animorphs could have won the war by themselves.  So to keep his friends from dying he travels back in time a acquires one of the ant on the island to keep the morphers from touching the box.  And then... "Kill it!  Kill the freakin' thing!"

Um... considering that we're having conversations with Olivia... I think it's safe to assume we found here... >.<

But yeah, we're out in the woods now, and from what I understand, are heading back towards the barn. Note for the Yeerks: Brian's car is parked a good distance down the 'main' road from the driveway to Jo's family's place. In other words, if you see it, it wouldn't really be a logical assumption it's one of ours.

Okay... I went to go look, and I couldn't find a time for anything having to do with the search... Let's say it started at, oh... eleven o'clock. And let's say that all the craziness took three hours (maybe four, if y'all think that's more reasonable). That puts us at 2:00pm (or 3:00pm). *nods* Unless there's an issue with this, let's have this be the official in-game time.

Just for reference, it's about 4:00 PM.  What time does the sun set, Rad?

As a quick recap, we got out of the woods and went to a campsite.  We had a brief meeting to go over what happened.  Kildor wants us to meet with him after dark.  Everyone's still at the campsite and we have a dracon beam.

No, counting wasn't 'productive'... ::)

By 'Campsite', Donut means a clearing in the woods where no one else will see us. It isn't one of the campsites that you might use on a weekend campout, but it's way back in the woods, within the state park. It would certainly make a good camping spot though.

And I don't care. :P

How many ways do I have to Explain the situation to the Andalite?! Didn't my previous posts make it abundantly clear as to why the mission is needed?
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: donut on April 02, 2011, 01:37:10 PM
He knows why you say the mission is needed.  It just doesn't make sense.  There are plenty of yeerks that know that they are morph capable.  If even one of them isn't part of the peace movement, then they don't accomplish anything by destroying the files.  So first, he has to trust Kildor to be honest.  Second, he has to trust that Kildor is correct to think that all of the yeerks that know that they are morphers are part of the peace movement.  That's not likely considering that they organized a search for ONE person.  Nobody knows why?

Kildor is asking them to walk into the most dangerous place on Earth.  All access points are controlled by the yeerks.  There are a few thousand controllers there.  They are supposed to attack the most elite forces the yeerks have, who outnumber the morphers.  And then they are supposed to just walk out like nothing happened.  Oh, and they have about 12 hours to rest, plan the mission, and then conduct it, without knowing anything about the yeerk pool.

How is it confusing that he thinks this is incredibly stupid?
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: Unknown User on April 02, 2011, 01:42:27 PM
It may have it's flaws. If the mission doesn't seem worth it to you guys, then don't go. No one said you HAD to accept, it's cool either way. I'm just offering a mission, because we haven't really gone on one yet. Not to mention that the visser knowing that your human would realistically spell doom for Jake and the gang, as I pointed out.

Your the leader, what you say goes. ;)

Post by: donut on April 02, 2011, 01:50:52 PM
The Visser could find out that they are humans without the computer files from the yeerks who know that they are human.  I'm saying that they don't gain anything from the mission.  Even if they did, they don't serve any purpose by all dieing in the attempt.

I don't see a way to justify this without completely ignoring everything that's happened so far and every military maxim ever written.

Here's a quick summary to make it easier:
They don't gain anything by winning.
They won't win.
They are attacking a larger, better armed, better trained, and more experienced force.
They are walking into an area that is completely controlled by the yeerks.
There are limited access points in and out, all of which are guarded.
There are literally thousands of controllers there.
They have zero combat experience.
They don't know anything about where they are going.

Why should that stop them from trying? Also, what do you mean by saying they WOn'T win, your character can't know that ahead of time...

As far as saying they gain nothing from victory, that makes no sense at all?! How does killing the leader of the enemy army gain you nothing? How is it not a victory?

You have the backing of the rebel yeerks, It's not as if I'm sending you to certain doom.

It's literally a thousand to one.  Thermopylae this ain't.

Are they there to kill the visser, or there to delete the computer files?

The rebels are willing to expose themselves to join us in battle?  How many of them are there?  Because if it's less than a hundred, we're still fairly screwed by attacking.  Even with more than that, we still won't win.  We'd just be able to do a lot of damage.

There are 5 morphers.  Lose one, and they lose 20% of there combat strength.  There's a good chance that they'd all die.  That's a really good reason to not go.  There has to be a flippin' good reason to attempt something that will likely get every one of them killed.  Like, winning the entire war.  Killing Visser 3 won't accomplish that.

The Rebels will be fighting the Vissers men, and no one said you had to kill every yeerk in the complex. Make it a surprise attack and then withdraw if it becomes to much. I'm not asking it to be like a civil war battle were you stand in groups and exchange volleys. The Ani's snuck in to the complex and fought tooth and  claw with the yeerks every other book.

Your being to cautious. Your picturing this huge battle, I'm picturing and assassination attempt.
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: donut on April 02, 2011, 11:25:02 PM

I'm picturing it start to finish.  They have to infiltrate the pool, then they have to locate Visser 3, then they need a way to kill him without getting close to him because he has his personal gaurd around-that means they need to get dracon beams or explosives, which requires breaking into the yeerk pool's armory-then they need to get back to the Visser, shoot him, get away from his POed cronies, escape the 1,000+ controllers who are in the yeerk pool, then make it out one of the yeerk pool entrances that are sure to be guarded because the yeerks know those are the only ways in and out.

They have to do all of this without knowing the layout of the yeerk pool, without setting off any alarms before they shoot the visser, and without ever having been in a real battle before.

All the rebels will die.  The morphers will almost certainely die. If they do succeed, Visser 3 is dead.  The yeerks aren't defeated, they just put the next person in charge, but then there's no one left to fight them, so the yeerks win.

It's fine you guys, if you don't like the mission then refuse! It doesn't matter to me, I'll just go in a different direction with the yeerks and Kildor. It's all good. you CAN say no.

This is all just cover for the fact that I called a meeting with the morphers for no logical reason anyway.

Yeah, but that's not a reason that they can't TRY.  They don't know they aren't allowed to kill Visser 3.   ::)  It's the same reason that I can't say we shouldn't go because Visser 3 still won't think the animorphs are human.

Dracon beams don't bounce off their skin, Tony.  They're still screwed if they take a straight fight with an armed group of controllers.  The advantage of morphing is their ability to infiltrate, not fight.  They can gather intel, sabotage, and yes, assasinate.  But they can't do that to a well guarded target in the middle of a couple battalions' worth of the enemy.  They also have to consider risk vs. reward.  They risk getting everyone killed, which means the yeerks win, they only gain Visser 3's death. That's not a small thing, but he is replacable, and then the yeerks don't have anyone resisting them.

As far as what we should do next in the RP, I think we've reached the limits of what can logical come of this.  So, it's more or less about what is the least illogical.  It's a group decision since we've kinda set up a plot hole in the RP, but I think they shouldn't go.  Tarry doesn't want to send them on a suicide mission, and Kildor will kill all of the yeerks and hosts that know the morphers are human, which Jo doesn't want since that includes her family.

Chad and Kristen are at school, Sean just went outside, Olivia went to talk to Tarry, Brian's sleeping, and Jo is experimenting with morphing.

And this is the note that Chad will use to skip school.

Please excuse my son daughter offspring from school, as he/she/it was suffering from amoebic meningitis and was sent by our doctor to the hospital, where it was discovered that he/she/it had acute, second stage osteoporosis. They then had to operate to remove his or her bloated appendix, by request of his/her/it's dentist. This all occurred shortly after the tragic, teeth-alignment related death of his/her/it's Grandpa's Uncle's Nephew's Cousin's Fouth removed Second Cousin's Father's Brother-in-law's Mother's Ex-boyfriend's Sister's Twice removed Aunt's great-grandchild named Joe. My child most certainly was not on vacation or skipping school, and may I say how dare you for even considering that.

BEAR!  No one went after Jo!
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: warren_bearclaw on May 16, 2011, 05:44:17 PM
...Kristen and Olivia had the intent of going to the library, correct? Chad can't go anywhere, and neither can Tarry. Brian is hell-bent on doing whatever the heck Kildor wants. Sean could have gone, but... do the characters even know where Jo went? And do keep in mind that Sean is a little bit... off.
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: donut on May 16, 2011, 09:08:15 PM
They were under the assumption that Sean was going after Jo at the time, because, well, SEAN SAID HE WAS!  They might not know where Jo is, but they know where she's going to be.  Don't get me wrong.  You have every right to change Sean's mind, but you GMed people into doing something that they had intentions of doing with the understanding that your character was going to do something.  Then you had your character change his mind, which they would have noticed, and I expect that they'd object.  If no one had gone after Jo under normal conditions, it'd just be Tarry who'd be going on about this (whenever he gets better), but you GMed it so they couldn't react to the change in plans.

*as the blood drips from her back, she hands Bear a piece of paper*
I wrote another song.
[spoiler]Key
Josefina
Olivia
Brian
Brian and Olivia
Brian, Josefina and Olivia

His family is in danger
His carelessness has kindled anger
But I won't sit and watch their dome
So I will go and stand in their room
Take his family from under Yeerk eyes
That was I save Brian from good byes
And watching as his family dies

When emotion drives your disistions
Your endanger the missions
Let you brain take a backseat
Don't worry about being neat
It'll make you a fool
And do things that even a Yeerk wouldn't even do

Their families in danger
Their carelessness has kindled anger
And our “prince”is indicive
No matter what help I give
Every time he disides he takes five
I hope he is above emotion unlike Brian and Jo
C'mon people we need to go
Let's get this over with before tomorrow

When emotion drives your disistions
Your endanger the missions
Let you brain take a backseat
Don't worry about being neat
It'll make you a fool
And do things that even a Yeerk wouldn't even do

My family is in danger
I don't wish to kindle Kildor's anger
I'll play along in his game
Before my family has a Yeerk name
And like Jo's a head case, I'd be the same
Her emotion can not be tame
I don't think she'd understand
I'm just trying to lend a hand
And save this ball of land

Teenagers can't handle war
Yeerks are evil to the core
Kildor her the key to the pool door
But I won't let the emotion of others run me anymore

When emotion drives your disistions
Your endanger the missions
Let you brain take a backseat
Don't worry about being neat
It'll make you a fool
And do things that even a Yeerk wouldn't even do[/spoiler]

Also, Hawkgirl's description of Kristen was a little vague, so I took some creative license. 

And I changed her battle morph...whoops...oh well.  She's mine now.  :P
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: warren_bearclaw on June 05, 2011, 08:44:48 PM
Do keep in mind guys, that when you're frolis-maneuvering, it's still random and unpredicted like any other form of morphing. Except for Kristen, maybe. (lucky Estreen, you. :P) [/nitpicky GM]

What did you change her battle morph to, Seal? Let me know so I can change it on the first page of the OOC thread.
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: Horsefan1023 (Seal) on June 05, 2011, 08:50:25 PM
Well, no, but in the character bio she said her desired morph was a panther.  I made it a cheetah.
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: warren_bearclaw on June 05, 2011, 09:02:30 PM
Oh, well, pfft. Hawkgirl (nor Marie, nor myself :P) managed to get her a panther, and you took the initiative to get her a cheetah, so good for you! Yep, she's all yours now. I know we've put poor Orphan Annie Kristen in good hands.
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: Horsefan1023 (Seal) on June 05, 2011, 09:22:30 PM
Yay!

By the way, it might take some digging (but it might help the others) if you posted their bios on the first page.  That way if I'm morphing someone else I can reference it...and sometimes I forget about Kristen's red highlights.  I think I might change that....
Title: Re: "Our Summer Vacation" OOC thread
Post by: radgeek on June 06, 2011, 10:44:20 AM
Seal the reason that donut hasn't gotten back to you yet is because he asked me what type of gun it was and I didn't have any answer (because she won't have a gun as part of her job.  Ooops.).  I'm doing research on that now and hopefully catch him on Skype again.  It might also hope to know what she wearing.

I was thinking of getting more descriptive character appearances anyway because I was going to find out because OSV:TAD could use some graphics.  I just don't know if the vast number of starving artist in NYC are willing to work for free.  But Odyssey, and The Ceiling Fan all have websites where you can see the characters.  I know I  keep forgetting that Chad is a red head and not African American.

And donut parrots can sing and dance.
Here is a parrot singing some of Magic Flute.

Glock Model 19s were being used by the NYPD in 1996 and I've found one office complaining that they lock up and should be phased out (that was written in 2002) that is all I know about that weapon.  How is that donut?  In case you haven't noticed I know nothing of guns.  I just whack people with over stuffed handbags for self defense.

Bear and I have started talking about splitting the timeline so that while one group is waiting another group can continue. For instance, one group could be at 10:00 AM while the other group is at 1:00 PM.  It can be dangerous since events from one could affect the other group, but I think it'll be ok in this case.  What do you guys think?

I miss this, guys... :(

Maybe I'm insane (er, hopefully, that is...), but I think I could manage a few decent posts a week if we got this back up and running. OSV never went *that* fast that I'd get totally lost here, even with classes and stuff. Of course, it *would* only be a few posts a week, but I wanna try and revive this again. Thoughts? Maybe it's been long enough for Tarry to stop convulsing by now, eh? ;) And... I dunno what to do with Chad.

Well, as GM, I figure I should be honest; we aren't recruiting at the moment. You're free to follow along, and give comments or whatever if you like, but we don't have any spots open right now. We've tried letting people to hop in wherever before, and it really just doesn't work unless the plot calls for a new character. Which... it doesn't right now. Sorry man.
