OOC 20 "Adventures in GunRunning" by CapnRahn

Okay, I know you guys haven't seen much of me. Sorry. Really. Truly.

Okay, to the point. I will post better for River, and more often, as soon as possible, since I'll have to get used to a new sleeping schedule. I swear upon whatever you swear on that's not a grave.

Alright. I'm done for now.

Whoever has the memory stick - Zoe maybe - Jayne has not seen it yet, and other than the hitchers who do not count and have no messages, I think he may be the last one.

He needs to get it soon.

Yep, I believe Zoe still has it. I'll work out a post sometime early in the week to make sure Jayne gets it.

I'm going to be out for the next few days. My husband had to have his appendix out this (Friday) morning, and he's still in the hospital. Right now I don't know when they're going to release him.

Think happy thoughts of him coming home Saturday, okay?

I am a stitch virgin no-more! In 40 years of life I have never gone the hospital to fix my blade wounds. Wounds of the, evil sheet-metal in B-52s and KC 135, X-acto, mishaps with a sword or bullwhip. So - Last night I attempted to flens the pad of my left thumb off {Fresh #11 X-Acto blade} while working on the starboard wing/engine of 87th scale model of the Rubicon! Bounced it right off the bone!

I got 8 stitches this morning in me bloody {for real and true} left thumb!

So my plan is to sit REAL still and do nothing to anger the local gitiche manitou. Then meebe this negative idiocy/luck/karma drenn will think I am dead and look for another victim!

Okay, hi everybody.

I've been thinking...maybe I should take a month off from the RP. Or maybe just a couple weeks. Right now, I've been posting very, very little, and I'm becoming tired, so if someone would like to stand in as River for a little bit, that'd nice. I can come back, I would just like a little vacation.

Okay, that's all for now.

Yeah Maniac -

I understand the school stuff bit. I really do. so I guess I apologize. I like what you have done! That should prove interesting and gives you some extra options when things get a little slow.

I know what Astriana is dealing with right now, and the Capn has his own problems, and Rowan has schooling. You I just worry about dear, and I hope you are feeling better.

There is a LOT of stuff going on, it is nice when people take 5 minutes to OOC and let us know they are not bored or backing away ...

Sorry - reading what other people contribute here is a high point in my day. I actually look forward to it a LOT.

So, no, not dead in a cosmic ditch somewhere. Not even buried under a mountain of homework - oh no! I went off and had fun this weekend. Spent Saturday at the local Renaissance festival with my sister, our two nieces and their friend in costume as playtrons. Sunday we "recovered" by going shopping. Yes, indeedie, a true girl's weekend.

For the Love of Pete - how did it get to be Wednesday already? Time for me to go see what Rowan should've been doing.

Sorry I've been off in the mists recently. Seems I'd run into a shortage of Muse, but I'm better now. The latest versions of the tryst and followup are on my system at work, and I'll get them to you Monday P.M. What we've posted so far is pretty close, and there should be no continuity problems.

No problemo. I think I'll come back after Friday. If not I'll let you guys know.

Also, you may be wondering why I'm posting when I'm supposed to be on a little vacation. The answer: I don't feel like reading 50 posts when I decide to come back. So, it's just easier to read the RP and OOC. Okay, back to lurking.

I want to thank Debs and let everyone know that The Death of Brink "Slight" Helsing" post was an extensive collaborative effort twixt she and I.
{Since my comp has gone FUBAR.}

We spent 30 minutes on the phone while Deb took down extensive notes while I framed the entire scene.

Then She spent 3 hours crafting the scene and after it was finished - she emailed it to me.

Her effort was spectacular! I only had to change a few phrases and word choices and alter a bit of formatting and the effort was ready to post.

SO ... we both would appreciate any input/critique on this new type of post {collaborative instead of 'blended'}

LOL, especially from Raven - we both hope we did the Death justice and also hope we have set up the future path of good ole Brink!
