OOC 11 for the "Adventures in GunRunning" RP by DireKtorsSmeagol

i DO aim to misbehave

Hey Ciara -

I was just thinking... During the NH vacation, I wanted to put in a visit between Rowan and her sister, Aislin. But as the sisters never really got on well, perhaps Inara could play a part in getting them together.

Also, Rowan will need to consult the companion about make up options to cover whatever's left of the eye injury when they reach NH. She'll have one scar to show for her little battle with Niska.

You know where I am - let's discuss it!

Hey Maniac -

I saw Jeannette Lee play on ESPN2 last night. She's freaking AWESOME!!!

Taping her matches today and tomorrow too, so I can lend some authenticity to the tournament highlights.

How cool is it to see Rowan playing for real? This wouldn't be considered cheating on characterization, would it?

lol channain, careful. Slight is not the most emotionally. . .structured guy.
Anyway, Rahn, I'm popping you the pic and ideas now. Whatever you got, sock it to me. I appreciate you doing that Avatar, since I suck at any kind of imaging software (cept the most basic of Paint programs). Hope you have fun! And BTW, nice catch Boomer. I was hoping someone would get that!

OK, now we know what Niska is doing! But now, are we going to have a slow RP weekend?

I know Geezer is taking off and I have a few meetings to deal with on Saturday and a Kline family get together on Sunday.

Everybody else busy this weekend too?

Oh, and "Hellboy" and "Walking" Tall opens nationwide today!

Yeah Channain, I love watching Jeanette play too. She usually wins. That's a good trait to pattern Rowan after.

I don't think it's cheating on the characterization at all. It's great to draw from everything to help mold the RP

You really should stop scaring the girl like that. I didn't realize what the real world was like until I got out of Tech school - don't ruin it for her this soon!

Gunrunners & Hitchers: My online time will be sporadic as usual this weekend, folks. Orientation for school on Saturday (Squee and I will soon both be bemoaning homework), way too much church time Sunday morning followed by some serious sluffing off. I'll try to look in a couple times this weekend.

Maniac: Thanks! I'll be taking copious notes.

Off to read shiny new posts!

Heh, while chatting with Channain about Mz. Lee, we both were looking at the WPBA site. There I found out she lives in here in Indianapolis!

And she wants to be an actress - hummm, wonder if she would do a cameo in the 'trailer' for DragonFly that will shooting in the fall. Yes, I do mean as Rowan! If Channain is OK with that.

Hee hee, must contact her agent, it could be fun.

Boomer
The story and the way the charactres are played - it does draw ya in, don't it.

Takes a great group to make a great story - so keep on a Gunnin'!

RL, as per Astriana's post
ARRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHH!

Maniac
Great post! Very nice story linking and foreshadowing ... This could get VERY interesting in the Mini!

Book in a conversation with the real Niska and then the copy ... brrrrrrr, I think it would be like watching a cold and precise fencing duel.

About Merz
Gotta love characters that appear simple on the surface, but are complex. Like an onion ... or was that a parfait?

Heh heh, you forgot that Merz being on the Serenity is to help spin-off DragonFly?

Could always shoot a scene between Merz and Rowan and use it as an 'insert shot' in the trailer.

How many times does one have an opportunity to hire the exact 'avatar' or dream-cast like this!

and DIREKTORSSMEAGOL, I believe I understand your confuzzlement. I am speaking with Merz now. I already spoke with Rowan, and have plans to teach her as much as she'll take too. Let's not forget Thorne either, and I might as well just say it, the entire rest of you evildoers too. You're a bunch of heathens....

and you will be brought unto the light.
