I was getting lazy and there want really any to develop Andromeda as a character. She was just sort of...there. The CG is so secretive that one guy probably didn't know, it was like one of those things that only two living people know. Like the academy award results or the secret coca cola recipe.

Morgan is over the loss more or less, hence the mentioned dents in the walls of his ship. Lol he'll move in and be back to his piratical self again.

Cool :) So it's safe to assume that everyone, save for Morgan, is human in appearance?

I think so, yeah. The bar's three Andalites are all off doing other things, and aside from them, I'm not sure there's anyone who's not (at least visually) human at the bar at all right now.

Marie and Abby are my wonderful RAFsisters ^_^

Hey Twilight I noticed something in your last post that confused me.

That line about killing this curious kitty, was Noah thinking that? If so then for future reference we usually use italisized text for inner thoughts.

Just some helpful advice here.

It was italicized. yeah she was thinking it about herself

Baron, welcome.  Please make sure to read the front page of this OOC as it gives our general rules and such.  One of these rules is that we ask all of the players in this RP to post in the Third-person Narrative.


Correct:

Johnny looks around the little planetoid, noticing a strange building less than a mile away.  He checks over his clothing self-consciously, fingering the butt of his Dracon before setting off.  As he enters the building, he sees myriad races amongst the dirt and general grime of the bar atmosphere.  He strolls up to the bar counter and orders a drink, smiling at the girl down the bar.

If everyone referred to themselves as "I", it would get very confusing as many people have more than one character, so in the interest of ease of understanding and cooperative writing, we ask that you please refer to your character in the third person, as if you were a narrator speaking your character's actions as he/she performs them.

 Again, welcome and have a good time.  :)

JUST read this as I finished my post. Sorry, my own silly mistake for thinking I could jump back in without needing to re-read the rules. From now on I'll make sure to post everything in 3rd person.

Sorry again, my fault. REALLY silly mistake, but it HAS been taken on board. Clicking to the rules now.

I didn't realize that it was italisized becaued I am accessing this site from my Wii (Computer stopped working :explode: ) and apparently the Wii doesn't show when text is italisized. Please forgive me for being an idiot. :P


You should see my other Gunblade. ;)

Bazing Angel is my Flaming brother.......No, no, no he's NOT gay, just Flaming. :P

lol it's ok. Another thing you could look for is that I use these ' ' marks for my thoughts and these " " for speaking  :)

Although, Pixie, that's not entirely correct usage. ' ' are used when quoting inside of a quote:
Example:
He said, "So the bartender yelled, 'Hey, you gonna pay for that or what?' Hahahaha!"

But everyone has their own style. Just as long as you follow the general, <thought-speak>, <<private thought-speak>>, and Inner monologue format, you'll be good.

Thought speak, as I mentioned before, is when someone telepathically speaks to others.



Oh and Ossanlin? +1 for creating the coolest gun ever! That sounds like a ****ed up weapon to go against. >:D

NP Baron, it's just my job to make sure everyone is familiar with the rules.  ^^

And thanks Parker...I think it's the kind of gun Steven Hawking would own.   :XD:

Haha, right?

So I've posted the last part of my "What happened to my character" story.

My next post will be his re-introduction. Not to give away the ending or anything, but...

[spoiler]He survives! :o[/spoiler]



At that moment a tall figure in a figure concealing cloak entered the bar.

Holy crap it's Cloaky!!!! :P

Okay guys. So, I'm back in Houston. Unfortunately I have to work until 9pm both tonight and Thursday night, so in the interest of getting a post up quickly could someone point me to the last time someone interacted with Zorish? I think I'm good with Terenia and Efaen, but I can't figure out if anyone addressed Zorish in the bar or not. And give me a quick update of what is going on inside the bar? I'll read it all when I get the chance, but I'd like to get a post up asap.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure Jocun was the last to talk to Zorish. http://animorphsforum.com/index.php?topic=7954.msg666107#msg666107
