Channain -

Caught your post. If you caught my blog, well, my brain is still melted. Will catch up and give you Merz response tomorrow, when I am/can actually think.

Cheers Gunrunners ...

Hi All!

I posted a real post, go SEE!

I've been having major computer problems lately, so I haven't been able to keep up with things, but the outlook is much better now, I think.

Happy (insert your holiday of choice here) !, and a very good new year to all of you, weather you want it or not.

Decoy, they make me go first.

Hi. I posted a thread a while back asking if I could join in adventures in gunrunning. I've finally come up with a character: a dark, shifty fella who has been to earth-that-was and uncovered a few secrets... but aint telling.
Is it still cool for me to join in, and, if so, what's the best way to introduce my character?

"Gorramit Mal... I've forgotten my line."

I'm liking the dark and the shifty, and the reconaissance sounds intriguing. Rowan's all about gathering info.

Awaiting Capn and Merz input.

Ooooh, very good to see you back!

Step one is send character data, info, etc. to me I guess and let me look it over, and run it by the DireKtors.

Step two, well, the best place for us to take on a new character is at the next stop, New Hokkaido. We have another character there, who has written a NICE introduction and is pending our arrival. Once you get a go ahead you can do the same, place yourself on New Hokkaido.

We can coordinate the rest closer to when it will happen. It will be a bit before we get there, so please be patient with us - but no reason why you cannot post from New Hokkaido for your character as we all pull closer together

They do it in movies all the time.

Any questions at all, please contact me.

One of those characters, whom Debs mentioned would be waitin' on New Hokkaido, would be Quentin Xavier 'Hawk' Hawksworth III, male gig ... err ... ace pilot (his bio is up at http://www.freewebs.com/mjspages/tempfireflypage.htm and I'd appreciate any comments about it if folks wish to do so .. and while you are looking at that page ... you will find links (at left) a Merzedes Troy page as well and a few other goodies)

I shall post something as we get closer to the arrival ... if someone wants to do a side thread while waiting (as opposed to an interlude right in the GR thread) then I'm up for it

Be nice Hawk -

We will get there. In the mean time I guess I need to put something sorta relatively official together about New Hokkhido and post it on your lovely new thread.

Well, I will see what I can come up with, look for it as soon as inspiration strikes. (Yeah, yeah I know. I will try to be swift.)

For all three of you, Crazy Horse, Cobb and Puma - feel free to play around with your characters, interact them with each other, whatever. You can't kill each other off and it might be nice if you are NOT in jail when we arrive. Remember that we will be attending a Pool Tornament - that being the reason we are staying on NH for a while after the gunrunning instead of leaving right away. Might be something in that... (I am sure there will be bookie action on that front.)

If I get a nice description done - we may start you a thread to play in ... not just the OOC ...

Cheers,

I was wondering if I am confusing anyone with the minor introductions to our story that I am introducing... i.e. the crystal. If so, good. And is it too weird? I have very concrete ideas where I want that to go, but I want to some feedback as to whether or not you all think this is a good way to go. I don't want to give too much away, because I love the idea of making surprises for everyone to read, but does it sound like I am going the wrong way?

...and do I sound like a rambling idiot?

I am sure whatever you can manage is acceptible - we don't have a particular policy about that right now

However active is good. Um, I guess you can start posting, whenever - since I think you are probably on a course that should meet you up with Brink and Malachi, and possibly Serenity. Might as well start moving in that direction.

Have fun ... the rest of us are

DIREKTORSSMEAGELLE

Smeagelle has news, yes she does!

Smeagelle has been busy, very busy last few days. Has found someone who is reading us, yes this week to see if willing to be Acktor for Kaylee person.

Has spoken to CrazyHorse who may wish to try hand at being Acktor for River too as well as new charactor.

Is slowly working on description-in-depht ... deapth ... ok then ~ deep description for New Hokkaido. At this point we have at least four people there and it's time they began to interact, possibly with each other.

So when Smeagelle has description ready will start thread for them to play in as you all get closer together.

Paging Nicco, Hawk, Shan and ... new person, you know who you are - Smeagelle is still working on you too ... have to introduce you to directorial team. Your OOC green room is already prepared nicely, by Pumaman. Thanks Quentin!

Smeagelle will have stage set shortly, if can find props ...

It is almost magic time.

Not weird at all, very in-keeping with the mystery that is Book. All I did was mention a few things about Rowan's past (Xiang, The Revolution) and next thing I know *FOOMP* There's a whole spin-off planned. Never know what's gonna happen when you go and get creative in here.

SAINT JAYNE

This place looks familiar...

Hi guys! It looks like I wandering along Squee's path. Not so much that RL is taking over - truly, I would love a RL =) and I'm working more on face-to-face meetings these days; even a Farscape meetup (cause there is no Firefly meetup in this blasted town). And I've got me a pen-and-paper RP going on Sundays. The funny thing is, I keep thinking of RP like we do it here: Much improv, and slightly less getting hit with pool cues (and swords). That doesn't stop me from using what I learned here to enrich the game.

And now I'm leaving for many weeks over the Christmas break. Though I won't be around here, I still wish you all great times.

Merz, Inaraesque, Maniac...

You guys totally ROCK!

Just when I think the RP has seen its pinnacle, one of you guys comes back and reminds me why I keep coming back here.

Maniac in particular - I could so SEE that scene with Book and Mal. Entirely typical that Mal would doze off just as Book is about to do his big revelation - that was good HIGH-larity.

BTW, I don't know how much you would have Book refer to the Word, but I have been made aware of a couple of Bible passages lately that sound very Book-like. I jot them down for my own use in fan fic, but if you're interested, I can pass them on. I even have a New Language Translation that sounds more Firefly-like, less King James. Let me know.

Well, since he seems pretty thoroughly entangled in holiday craziness, giving Mal a little nap time seems like a good call. Could even give Capn a chance to conjure up another eerie-ass dream to shake Mal awake.
