The Galactic War: Rogue Element OOC

[Chad32]

Sorry. I guess maybe I should have tried PMing you, instead of just posting in OoC. I'll let Oss decide if it's better to Yeerk Keslin, or to have him get stunned by dracon fire.

[Shenmue654]

Sorry for sucking so much, guys.

Mar and I maintain that you don't suck at all. :}

To make things more complicated, Tara and I are leaving the country next week and will be gone for most of July with little to no internet access.

Is this about that traveling work you guys are doing? ! Tell me more about that over PM or any other method if you can. :}

Okay, so I can promise to do better and try harder, but I'm afraid that given the number of responsibilities I have offline I'll continue to disappoint you guys.

Yeah, I know. *Huggles all the same* It's actually, at least on my end, just nice to hear your voice.

I still maintain that the best plan, considering how divergent all our lives are, might be just to ensure the Roleplay works without you but allow any of you to rejoin the action when you wish. If that isn't possible, well....we'll figure something out.

Good luck out! ^^

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Glad to hear from you again Jessi!  The reason I didn't PM you is simply that I didn't want to bug you or be a nuisance.  I still treasure our friendship and I'm not willing to put that in jeopardy for an RP, no matter that it's my brainchild and I love it to death.  I would love for you to remain an active member of the RP.  Perhaps I will have to Yeerk Keslin, though I'm loath to do that.  But I will do what falls best into your desires whilst not completely sacrificing the RP.  I can try to be better about keeping things moving...I just like the interaction between multiple players, otherwise it turns into a single story instead of a cooperative RP...so I wait for everyone to have a chance to post.  Unfortunately I haven't seen Scott on here for a while either, though in his defense, his characters aren't in much of an interactive place right now.

If you can get a post up, it will be most appreciated.  If not, please let me know so that I can move things along.  If I don't hear back from you within a few days, I'll probably move things along anyway.



And...perhaps this is a good time to mention that from July 4th to July 13th I will be a tad sporadic and won't be logging on much.  This is because I'm...in a relationship.  And...he's coming to visit during the aforementioned time.  Yeah...I will be devoting 99.9% of my time to him because...well...th is could be the real deal...like...yeah.  First time I've really been in love with anyone and had that feeling reciprocated.  My mind is still blown and we've been a couple online and through FFXIV ARR for over a month...and I've known him for a good four months before that.  It's blown because I'd given up on ever actually finding someone, and then he figuratively fell right into my lap.  And let me tell you guys, if this week-long meet-up goes well, a shared household is a real possibility for me in the near future, and possibly even tuxes and rings down the road.  So yeah...I will be sporadic if I log on at all during that time.  Just letting you guys know.  :-)

WAY TO GO OSS! :D

*Throws confetti all over the place, and somehow through a mysterious portal to the Netherworld*

You're in love with this guy completely? :} Ready to strike out and hug? Aweessome....

We'll be willing to wait however long it takes. ;3

[Chad32]

Well now I'm envious. I wish I could meet a girl and fall in love like that.

[Terenia]

That's awesome, Luke! I'm so thrilled to hear that -- you deserve it!!

And don't ever feel like you're being annoying. I promise you that if I start to get annoyed I'll tell you to stop. I just need the extra nudge these days. Life is uber chaotic.

Kells, I can PM you the details about our trip. It's partially related to the travel blog Tara and I run, though we booked the trip before we started the blog. We're still getting some cool freebies out of it, though.

I will try to get a post up today that will put Chris/Keslin out of the equation until I get back from my trip. I may post for Nefitt between now and next Monday when I leave, but after that feel free to Yeerk him.

I'll be gone from June 30 - July 15, and probably will need some time to recover after that, so I wouldn't expect activity from me again until maybe the 18th or so.

Love you guys. Thanks for being patient.

EDIT: Okay, I got a post up and knocked Chris out of the action in a way that is hopefully more interesting than simply 'he got shot'. I mean, he still got shot....but yeah. Anyhow, he'll be out for awhile. Maybe forever, who knows. Those are some nasty wounds.

In the meantime, I'll keep playing Nefitt up until I leave on my trip.

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

I was kind of planning on keeping that room as a bottle-neck for the plot but...I can work with it.  Mod-powers...GO!

[Chad32]

Sorry. I was trying to think of a creative way of dealing with Ferxal's problem. Maybe we can say they were just momentarily stunned.

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

It's cool, Chad.  That would've been basically the entire surviving crew...but I thought of something that would make it a little more interesting.

[Shenmue654]

I love it how Ossanlin is just sort of tacitly assuming that Keshin has hijacked every damn type of fighter under the Sun for this job, and how even though it doesn't quite make sense (Static Shock almost never took deals from or even against Andalites due to Keshin's deep-seated racial dislike of them--- He's working on that ) we're going to say he has. XD

[Shenmue654]

MISERY! XD

..I had like the most perfect post of all time, took me 30 minutes to write, and the Internet deleted it all. v__v

*Commits seppuku in shame* v___v

....not actually.

EDIT: The ancient character that Joanne was based loosely on, long ago, had a small floating car of sorts that was powered by thought and the metahuman's own electricity. While this isn't quite the same thing, call it a kind of reference that Joanne is pleased by the hum of the machine in her mind. However, that doesn't necessarily mean she's a pro at landing or even controlling the thing. XD

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

:-(  Sorry Kells, I hate when that happens.  I always highlight my post and right-click copy it before I submit it.  Of course if one has clumsy fingers, one runs the risk of accidentally pushing a keyboard button which then deletes everything anyway...

[Shenmue654]

Okay, I'm probably not going to have time today. Buuuttt...

I just wanted to check in, given that I'm a big part of this next bit. :}

I'll try for tomorrow. :3

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

NP Kells.  Appreciate the check-in.

[Aluminator (Kit)]

So hey. I've recently started a new job that's leaving my free time essentially nonexistent for the time being (this week is going on six days of eleven hours or more, in addition to a bit of a ****storm in the rest of my life). Which is why I've essentially dropped off the RAFradar lately. Life should calm down a bit soon-ish as I start to get things worked out, but I'm sorry for my lack of... existing >.< I am still interested and around, I promise. Just not as present as I'd like to be. Once things settle out a bit, I should be able to devote at least a passable amount of time to RP's. Ideally I can get back into not just this RP, but the GESB and Aidyn as well. In the meantime, I'll have an RE post up by the end of the weekend, even if I have to... like... rob a sad clown to get it done.

Luke: hopefully things go well with this guy, and hopefully you have a good time, whether or not you decide he's 'the one' ^_^ Having love reciprocated on that level sounds phenomenal; savor every minute of it. I'm so happy for you If anyone deserves it, it's you.

Jessi: I'm very behind on reading OA and on Facebook these days, so I know little about your trip beyond the fact that it's happening (I feel like a ****ty friend since leaving Houston >.<). I hope it's amazing, though. Give Tara a hug from me, and kindly inform her she is obligated to return said hug, also on my behalf
