OOC 25 "Adventures in GunRunning" GR RP by CapnRahn

Ahhh, brain massage...

Only a greenish tint? After the past few weeks I would have thought it would be like a 2 week old fuzzy purple/green pepperoni pizza that got left behind a washer!

Merry whatever you hold dear... and have a happy new year (Whenever it starts for you). :)

I posted again! Double entandre! I can't spell, and I know it! You'll all going to think that I'm a regular around here... ;)

Love, Luck & Lollipops in the next western calendar year.

Hello Gunrunners -

Just a quick note. I am NOT taking over River full time, please. However she did need to be moved at this time and I had a good River line I wanted to use.

We COULD take turns moving her around until such time as we have an AcKtor for her ... just to keep her in play as it were.

Any thoughts?

Weird replying to my own post, but there you go - I am being the chatty one this week.

I have a commission for 2 bracelets tonight, so I need to do those first - I will post when done if I have time and tomorrow if not. Sorry about that.

In the mean time, if you want to see what I have been working on (and am doing to sell, hint hint), you can go here and look. Please pardon the amature efforts, it is my first digital camera, my first website AND the first time I ever tried that kind of close-up shot. I will get prices listed soon, but email me if you have any questions. Links on the page.

and feel free to look around and laugh at the rest of the site.

Kissy, kissy,

Hey folks! I'm finally coming up for air, and going to be catching up on the RP today! (And there was much rejoicing...

) Once I've caught up, I'll be able to do a real post for Zoe.

If you decide it is too much, sing out immediately.

Oh and Gunrunners, Inaraesque may have found us a new River I am checking into that possibility right now and should have more information in a couple of days

I hope everyone had a safe and secure New Year's Eve!

Time for an update and some information.

We have a new River who will be joining us soon. In the mean time, for the rest of this week I will continue to puppet her to keep River in play. Changeover will be accomplished as soon as possible.

Merz' last post has been edited to allow Maro's player to speak the line in his OWN words, at my request. This was necessary and has now been accomplished.

WASH/Decoy. Go ahead and answer Brink's question please. An exposition of how the pilot sees the dynamic between the other people will be fun and instructive, and I for one would like to see it finished.

Prog on, Droogies

Raven: How so - It wasn't meant as an insult.

I thought you were leading me this direction because you DO remember that the 'Simon is Niska' reveal by Slight isn't supposed to happen till the Vacation micro. So I took your lead and had the comm/wave interruption be specatacular.

In Slight's original death he was hit by a EMP and you never corrected us. When did you change this to a uber-weakness?

EDIT
Actually Slight's original death was a combo - chemical & vironites in the Niska/Simon psudeo-ciggys {hee hee, you'll see}, EMP, a caved in chest and THEN further radiation from the exposed engine core. Quite a concentrated attack on ole Brink Helsing!

In Addition: Wasn't Slight not supposed to remember who he was? Sorta like "John Doe" : has all this info...

(remembers the Bule Sun 'plots', but not his place in them or that he{Slight) IS the Blue Son)

...and abilties, but doesn't know who he or what he is. He was supposed to discover 'himself' in his travels with Malachi on the way to New Hokkaido. OR something in that vein.

DOUBLE EDIT
OK, I checked the Character Bios and all the emails we shot back and forth concerning Slight and his story arc and psyology etc - no mention of a uber-weakness to EMP. Kenw you though the EMP was a cool way to deal with the nanites, but I never realized that Slight would 'shrivel up' and do a complete burn-out.

OH, did Slight 'feel' his father's death? Had an idea about a AtlasBLUE protocol the DeepRED would institute if the signal indicating that Father Helsing died ... but hey, I am just a swishin' at any random thoughts and arcs ...

Okay, in the EMP thing-shoulda mentioned. But as far as the severe problems he now faces (oh, the pain), the nanytes in sarcophagus mode were protection-barely. This time, he doesn't even have a full armor set. Hence, the problems. Oh- also, if I track down KalenVor, I need to talk to him about the meetin. Not exactly an AB, but I had an idea. more tricks in the box, no worries. As far as the no-knowledge, I was frankly gonna have Slight wimp out, and tell em-"Uh, I need to talk to you in person. Where you gonna be?"
And have that sort of "why am I guilty" flashbacks.

As for the rest, he remembers, but only a little. The memory cascades are filling in blanks as we go. I should be playing with that a little more, I know.

Hi gunrunners. I've being trying to post for days, but I'm finding it very hard for some reason. I thought I'd come here and just admit it instead of milling about doing nothing. I am here. I've been checking out MSN, too, but I can't find many of you.

Channain, I just can't wrap my head around that Rowan/Jayne conflict: The cause, the action, the lack of reaction. If you've got something building here, please fill me in.

Now, I feel the urge to role play... This might take a while.

I'll be your new River, hopefuly posting tomorrow between the RL chaos (and a few answered questions), and will now take this moment to talk about myself so you don't think I'm as crazy as my favourite crazy girl.

My name is Shaz, I'm technically new to the FF fandom, but what can I say? I fell hard and fast. This is one of three RPGs for me now, I'm back at university in t-minus three days, and... I don't know... looking forward to the fun.

How did I find here? Easy answer: Inaraesque is my corrupting FF angel, and mentioned the opening. Being that I seem to have a weakness for Joss' nutters, how could I possibly resist?

And I stuck it in my bio (I think. if not, it will be), but my Y!M and AIM are: LaCaitiri. If I'm on, I'd be happy to chat.

Raven: Good lead in post for Bolo!

What did you think of the post by DragonFlyDirector {me - CapnRahn, o-course} concerning Slight - I tried to make it as interesting to you and the others as possible.

OH! On the NemeSane {translation: Sanity's Ultimate Enemy} thingy - it was to give you room to make Brink quite bit different than the regular Nemisis class. You had told me of the level of {... what, Insanity? PowerMadness what ever it was...} of Brink's father. So I concluded that First Power (Deceased} Helsing would have put in a failsafe in his own child. I have a few ideas, but did not want to set them up in depth without consulting further with you. So gimme an email if your interested in seeing the further depths of my insanity about background details of the ATLASblue and FP Helsing's NEED to be in control!

I hope it was a good direction for your character and a interesting 'techno-post' to boot.

Nope, no shady dealings on her part. Mostly that was just Merz and me trying to keep Jayne in the game until you got back, not having a clue in the 'verse what we were doing - and maybe if you saw what we were doing to Jayne, you'd come back faster?

What can I say - WE MISSED YOU!!!

Looks like I got some catch up reading my own self. No, as you may have noticed, I am not, in fact dead in a ditch - although with freezing rain, there's a darn good chance of that. School started on Monday, and I was in an online course until I realized not only was American Liturature insanely intense, but I didn't actually need it for my degree. So I'll be in Copyright law in about six weeks here instead.

Meantime, I gotta catch up. Bear with me, folks, there's a busy weekend up-n coming, so it will likely entail another of my famed "Where was Rowan all this time" posts on Monday morning.

Capn, did that piece I sent you bore you to tears already? I have a revised version with med-jargon that makes more sense.

Brokenchilde WELCOME! to our little corner of the verse. *pours fresh wine and passes it over* I'm looking forward to reading your contribution to this lengthy, happy little cause.

Through your words, you spread joy. And Harlequin romance unless I'm reading too much into that breast-touching thing. Perhaps later they can take turns squeezing by each other on the catwalk? =P

Maniac, M#2 is... well, to be blunt, a dog. But I'm sure its very nice. Good luck with the picking up of members of the opposite sex, and I'm sure as a companion they're just as good as cats.
