2012-01-26 [NOOOPE]: where're the drivers! Ielht's all alooone

2012-01-26 [Dezmond]: sorreh! geez my tablets a pos that won't let me edit once i have to scroll down the page >.> so had to get on my laptop

2012-01-26 [NOOOPE]: Holy shiiiiiiiiit RC. Ielht's Wayoun. 'Cept not all religious and creepy.

2012-01-26 [Ravenclaw]: What?

2012-01-26 [Dezmond]: o.o huh?

2012-01-26 [NOOOPE]: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Weyoun

2012-01-26 [Ravenclaw]: Ok...

2012-01-26 [NOOOPE]: You don't remember Weyoun? Excuse me as I weep.

2012-01-26 [Ravenclaw]: I remember Weyoun. The dude who played him also played the Firangee always up Quark's butt.

2012-01-26 [NOOOPE]: Bruuunt

2012-01-26 [Ravenclaw]: Yeeeeah Brunt.

2012-01-26 [Ravenclaw]: Btw, it's So-yawn-ah, with a silent J but when it's Soj, the J isn't silent.

2012-01-26 [Lord Josmar]: Well, time for a comment post.

Meeros, always the suspicious, wondered if the interrogator migt be a part of the resistance and the accidental killing was infact a way to keep more info from slipping. He may want to talk to this man. "So we know the resistance is working here. Is that it?"

2012-01-26 [Chel.]: I always said "so-john-uh"

2012-01-26 [Ravenclaw]: I've told you in the past that the J was silent. I bet you don't even say Delaney how it's supposed to be pronounced for Del's name do you? *scoff* Kai-ree...

2012-01-26 [Ravendust]: I pronounced it that way at first too xD

2012-01-26 [Ravendust]: [Ravenclaw] vibrates --> vertebrates? xD...

2012-01-27 [Ravenclaw]: Yes. I blame stupid firefox spell check.

2012-01-27 [Ravendust]: I don't have spellcheck on my browser xD

2012-01-27 [Ravenclaw]: Internet explorer? GTFO!

2012-01-27 [Lord Josmar]: Firefox only lets you know if it is misspelled, not that you are using the wrong word, lol.

2012-01-27 [Ravendust]: lol yeah xD

2012-01-27 [Ravenclaw]: Hay, I'm getting much better at that! Writing my novel helped a lot.

2012-01-28 [NOOOPE]: Bold si vous plait?

2012-01-28 [Lord Josmar]: Nien?

2012-01-28 [NOOOPE]: Leilani isn't in bold. 'S just easier to follow the posts if you can quickly see the name.

2012-01-28 [Ravendust]: ah, sorry, not used to the whole bold thing :-/

2012-01-28 [Ravenclaw]: It's convenient because I had my husband pick a number between 1 and 10. 1-5 being the live together and 5-10 being they live across the hall from one another. He picked 4.

I am going to assume preth's shed?

2012-01-28 [NOOOPE]: hahah, nice

2012-01-28 [NOOOPE]: awesome. I needa figure out huras's clothes...

2012-01-28 [Ravenclaw]: Soj is about to get a minor update. I decided to work on her scales a bit... make them more... scaley.

2012-01-28 [Ravenclaw]: There we go... not so flat.

2012-01-28 [NOOOPE]: oooo, sweet

2012-01-28 [Ravenclaw]: thanks. They're still a liiiitle too big, but as tight as her scales are you'd hardly be able to see them.

2012-01-28 [Ravendust]: very nice :)

2012-01-28 [Ravendust]: So, [NOOOPE] gave me an idea that Leilani could meet the group by being a roommate to Soj and Eebi... Since she's technically a stowaway from a ship she's plotting a way to at least have a room for a night... Namely pretending she's a roommate... (She's pretty smart and able to plan well, but obviously if they looked into it... it'd be known that she's not really supposed to be there...) Wondering how that idea more or less sounds?

2012-01-28 [Ravenclaw]: Well, when I posted the description for the room I said there were only 3 doors, 2 being bedrooms and one being the bath. But if shes a stow-a-way then she wouldn't have the means to aquire a room because she's technically not on any ship roster so therefor the station basically doesn't know she's here. I see no problem with her rooming with Eebi and Soj other than if she suddenly shows up to their room AND turns out to be a rebel, it will look pretty suspicious.

2012-01-29 [Ravendust]: she's not technically a rebel, not at this point yet. She is against the drivers, though she doesn't REALLY know what they are at this point... Just that pretty much a group of superhumans recently swept across her world and killed a lot of people...

Other than randomly showing up at their room pretending to be a third roommate, how could we work that out? xD

2012-01-29 [Ravenclaw]: we can think of something... but I think between the four of us we can come up with something good.

2012-01-29 [Ravendust]: yeah, I definitely hope so xP

2012-01-29 [Ravendust]: how does something like this sound? :

Stowing away on a ship where nobody knew she was there was something entirely different than integrating herself in with a group of people, pretending she belonged... As Leilani reached for the door her heart jumped, hammering in her chest as she glanced down at a smudged sheet of paper. She had to get this right.

The only legible numbers were the room number itself, the 'code' could have read anything. She drew in a deep breath to calm herself and tapped in a sequence of numbers on the keypad. It beeped, informing her that she'd punched in the wrong code and she gave a slightly loud curse.

She didn't know why she'd thought that this was the better idea, but it was easier to pretend to room with a group of strangers for a short period of time than to find a good hiding place in the crowded station. She'd followed three different creatures in another turbolift to their floor and had gotten there just in time to see them close a room door.

Leilani had to pretend that she belonged, she punched in another random sequence of numbers and cursed again, playing her part as she faintly knocked on the door. She silently pleaded that she wouldn't be questioned beyond what she'd practiced on her slow journey from the market area to the room.

(I can tweak it any way, I want things to work well)

2012-01-29 [Ravenclaw]: I think it works, but I think everyone else is under the impression Leilani i the Alrain who was supposed to vouch for Sojana...

2012-01-29 [Ravendust]: she's not, have any of you kept up with the drivers' portion?

2012-01-29 [Ravenclaw]: I think there may have been a miscommunication in previous posts. We should rectify this before it goes too far.

2012-01-29 [Ravendust]: yeah, up in the drivers' section the alrain that was captured was killed in torture

2012-01-29 [Ravenclaw]: Well I guess I fell right on into that didn't I? And no, I've not been paying attention to that page.

"Yeah..." Sojana agreed. "It does seem suspicious doesn't it? You've nothing other than my word to prove that I'm a rebel... Then again, I'd have probably had to torture the Alrain for it's information."

2012-01-29 [Ravendust]: I've been paying attention to the whole thing, keeping up with both parts.

2012-01-29 [Lord Josmar]: Well, not much has been going on up in my area of the game.

2012-01-29 [Ravendust]: went ahead and put the post up, thought it might be a good time xD

2012-01-29 [Ravenclaw]: Apparently I was under the impression that Dust's character was an Alrain, not what she really is.

2012-01-29 [Ravendust]: yeah, she's becillian, sorry

2012-01-29 [Ravenclaw]: It's not your fault. I had read her bio. When I went back again I basically facepalmed myself when I read her species.

2012-01-29 [NOOOPE]: I wanna change my name to Ravenclust and fuck with you all

2012-01-29 [Ravendust]: lol that'd be interesting

2012-01-29 [Ravenclaw]: LMAO or Ravendraw.

2012-01-29 [Ravendust]: haha, I think we'd be a confusing bunch that way

2012-01-30 [Chel.]: You guys can keep going. Eebi is still in her trunk.

2012-01-30 [Ravenclaw]: I think Eebi might be beneficial. We need to fix it so Dust's character rooms with us, but Huras and Sojana are hard cases.

2012-01-30 [Ravendust]: xD yeah

2012-01-30 [Ravenclaw]: Someone like Eebi would be all: "What? Hrm? Let me see... Oh no no no no, come in! Please, we'd LOVE company wouldn't we Miss Ana? Yes, yes do come in, here, have a seat! Oh my you're pretty, isn't she pretty Huras? Would you like a refreshment? Here, let me take your bag."

2012-01-30 [Ravendust]: lol

2012-01-31 [NOOOPE]: Who's rping the prisoner?

2012-01-31 [Ravendust]: I bet it could probably be anybody willing, I get the feeling that Jeff doesn't want to play him lol.

2012-01-31 [Ravenclaw]: SOMEONE POST!

2012-01-31 [Dezmond]: she's right, i dun really wanna xD, but I don't guess I mind that much, unless there's someone who wants too?

2012-01-31 [Ravendust]: I'm waiting on someone to post giving Leilani the go-ahead to stay in the room...

2012-01-31 [Ravenclaw]: I could be convinced into doing it but I don't know the specifics of what should and should not be revealed. I'm pretty sure I can resist some mothafuckin torture if I have to.

2012-01-31 [NOOOPE]: Totally Chel's turn. Just sayin'.

2012-01-31 [Ravendust]: I believe that the prisoner is the one who tortured and 'accidentally' killed the alrain and is under suspicion of being a rebel... So... he could or couldn't be a rebel, however whoever plays him wants to go with it... But I'd think that if he was a rebel he'd be some hardcore bastard who'd sooner bite off his tongue and kill himself than give up any information on the other rebels...

2012-01-31 [Dezmond]: ah, well if you'd like, I was figuring that the guy wasn't a rebel, just some useless nub. Unless someone else has some super bad ass reason for him to be a rebel but I wasn't really wanting enough to get out to thwart the rebel take over

2012-01-31 [Ravenclaw]: you guys sound like you know what you want. I'm probably not the best person to slip in and try to comprehend what's going on.

2012-01-31 [Ravendust]: I was just supplying ideas to make things interesting xP

2012-01-31 [Chel.]: IDK WHAT TO POST.

2012-01-31 [Dezmond]: DRAG THE GIRL IN FOR CUPCAKES! CUUUUUPCAAAAKES!!!

2012-01-31 [Chel.]: So she is a Becillian...but what does her kind look like? The bio is vague and I have no idea what her species' appearance.

2012-01-31 [Ravenclaw]: What did I say? What did I say!?

Someone like Eebi would be all: "What? Hrm? Let me see... Oh no no no no, come in! Please, we'd LOVE company wouldn't we Miss Ana? Yes, yes do come in, here, have a seat! Oh my you're pretty, isn't she pretty Huras? Would you like a refreshment? Here, let me take your bag."

2012-01-31 [Ravendust]: sorry, I meant to include that detail in with her species type but forgot... for future reference: An evolution to humanity, Becillians, when first discovered on their home planet hundreds of years after a shuttle disappeared in their quadrant of space, were initially feared and revered. The perfection of their features and distinguished personalities lead humans to believe that they were vampires, which isn’t far off. Becillians have a long life span, they had no need to gain defensive abilities due to predators, instead, their bodies changed, morphed into a perfected state and release a sort of aura that attracts their own prey to them… Though they’re very much alive and don’t tend to drink human blood. XD

I'll add it to my character page.

2012-01-31 [Ravenclaw]: That doesn't exactly help much with what they look like though...

2012-01-31 [Chel.]: But appearance wise? They just look human?...any other distinguishing features that make them look non-human? There has to be SOMETHING.

2012-01-31 [Ravendust]: dammit... I keep forgetting the bold... >< not used to that...

2012-01-31 [Ravendust]: They're mostly humanoid, just... more an evolution to the species... :-/ I dunno how else to describe her...

2012-01-31 [Ravenclaw]: Elfish?

2012-01-31 [Ravendust]: perhaps you could call it elfish *nods*

2012-01-31 [Ravenclaw]: pony tail drawn waaay too tight kinda elfish?

2012-01-31 [Chel.]: There needs to be something to have her not look human. Eebi just sounds fucking crazy otherwise. Longer neck? Different colored eyes? Translucent skin?

2012-01-31 [Ravenclaw]: From your description I sort of pictured something similar to:

2012-01-31 [Ravendust]: I could give her back the red eyes she originally had? :-/

Also, not sure if that's quite how I'd picture her, [Ravenclaw]... I can't picture someone's features with a ponytail too tight xD

2012-01-31 [Chel.]: All we are saying is she can't look EXACTLY human. If she evolved from a branch of human, she should look different in SOME WAY. If only slightly.

2012-01-31 [NOOOPE]: Huras will be a grumbly bumbly if she just looks like a human

2012-01-31 [Ravenclaw]: Grumbly Bumbly XD

2012-01-31 [Ravendust]: As I said, I could give her back the original red eyes... She is more or less human, so she is going to look it... :-/

2012-01-31 [Chel.]: oi vey... well... fine.
Post! :P

2012-01-31 [Chel.]: The red eyes should be prominent enough that she is surely not to be mistaken as a human. At least not a doctor like Eebi. If she would look totally human, she never would have invited her in.

2012-02-01 [Ravenclaw]: But an alien who looks close enough to human to pretend to be one could potentially be useful.

2012-02-01 [Chel.]: Still... something EVOLVED from humans... you would think there would be evidence of it.

2012-02-01 [Dezmond]: not every evolutionary change is physical chel

2012-02-01 [Dezmond]: or more to the point aesthetic

2012-02-02 [NOOOPE]: Did a speed paint of Huras. Sorta made his neck too short and other stuff.... ah well.

2012-02-02 [Ravendust]: he's a pretty cool looking dude, wish I could draw Leilani xP

2012-02-02 [Chel.]: Gonna wait for Huras

2012-02-02 [Ravendust]: hehe nice, wasn't sure how you'd planned on going about that xD

2012-02-02 [Chel.]: You can still play her btw... but she is going to be very high/drunk.

2012-02-02 [Ravendust]: yeah, I figured it was something to that extent... Figured I'd wait until she was spoken to to post for her xP

2012-02-03 [Ravendust]: I was briefly inspired, and thought 'what the hell, why not?'

Bit of an adrenaline rush... Went out to do some shopping today (we had a carload of people, two in the front, two carseats and myself in the backseat, and my husband in the trunk) and dealt with a crazy driver trying to run us off the road or hit us... they were even driving on the wrong side of the road for a while :-/ very scary ordeal...

2012-02-03 [Chel.]: ....Did I miss something or was that totally random?

2012-02-03 [Ravendust]: was what totally random?

2012-02-03 [Ravendust]: Not really sure how/if Leilani should really respond to that xD... hmm...

2012-02-03 [Chel.]: Ravendust, your up! :P

2012-02-03 [Ravendust]: crappy little post haha...

2012-02-03 [Lord Josmar]: "Just a mistake. Well, that's understandable." Meeros said as he circled the creature. "It's just that your 'accident' cost us valuble INFORMATION!" he said, going from calm to rabid in the space of a blink. He accented his words by kicking the man fiercely in the side.

2012-02-05 [Chel.]: "Just good 'ol positive reinforcement." Eebi said with a smile. "She will be able to simply wander aimlessly until it wears off. As I said, she should be herself in a while...maybe an hour. She should go before then. Sooner rather rather then later yes yes. And I do very much apologize for acting perhaps rashly, but the Vidian wasn't exactly subtle."

2012-02-05 [Chel.]: ?

2012-02-05 [NOOOPE]: You need to be clearer, you!

2012-02-05 [Chel.]: It's just how I poke at people who are online and don't post... or seem to be waiting for something. Yes.. it is very lazy.

2012-02-05 [Ravenclaw]: Usually I find the word "POST!" helps.

2012-02-05 [NOOOPE]: I'm waiting for dust, just in case she wants leilani to do something before huras tosses her.

2012-02-06 [Chel.]: *cough* Ravendust, that's your que.

2012-02-06 [Ravendust]: sorry, was at the hospital, tonight. I'm getting to it now.

2012-02-06 [Ravendust]: Not sure what to post right now, maybe I'll try to figure something out in the morning...

2012-02-06 [Chel.]: Blackmail? You mean because they know she is a stowaway? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Sojana was in the kitchen when that little fact was muttered.

2012-02-06 [Ravendust]: perhaps she'd followed behind Huras into the main room when Eebi pretty much let them know about it?

2012-02-06 [Ravenclaw]: It's like the same room. The only separate rooms are the bed and bath. She's close enough to hear Eebi say "She's a stowaway."

2012-02-06 [Chel.]: I'm just being snarky. Don't worry about it.

2012-02-06 [Ravenclaw]: "Do we look look like civilians?"Sojana asked. She was indicating Huras and herself. "A human relative may be able to go places we can't... but if you think it's a risk I'll say no more of it."

2012-02-07 [Ravendust]: Better think fast, she's more or less coming out of the drug stupor ;) (slowly, but things are starting to come back to mind)

2012-02-07 [Chel.]: It's really only been like 5 minutes... lol

2012-02-07 [Ravendust]: that quick, huh? well, it'd be pretty boring to have it last the whole hour... perhaps the becillians have a higher metabolism rate that burns through the drug faster? (could be that they have no idea about this haha)

2012-02-07 [Chel.]: She's is going to be out of it for at least 50 minutes.... I mean she JUST got injected.

2012-02-07 [Ravendust]: I honestly thought that more time had passed than five minutes :-/

2012-02-07 [Chel.]: Well 5-10 I wager... I'm sure she'll slowly come out of it in a bit, but we need to figure out if she is worth keeping around. Otherwise she will wander the halls. lol

2012-02-07 [Ravenclaw]: generally 1 post is about 6 seconds, unless the poster stipulates that a great deal has happened.

example: Paul finished pouring the water into the pot and proceeded to make spaghetti. Half an hour later they sat down to a lovely dinner.

2012-02-07 [Ravendust]: Well, I mean, I did minor time lapses (maybe a minute or two at a time) in a few of my posts is all.

2012-02-07 [Ravendust]: Fixed my post, after reading it again I thought that I could have done more with it.

2012-02-07 [Chel.]: I'll give Huras a chance to speak if M wants.

2012-02-07 [Ravenclaw]: She told me last night that she's teaching today. She won't be on for another hour or more.

Lil's name should be in bold.

2012-02-07 [Ravendust]: sorry, I keep forgetting... so hard to get into that habit haha

2012-02-08 [NOOOPE]: hahaha, I left the s off of huras and he became hurrah.

2012-02-10 [Lord Josmar]: How can I make a full station announcement when I don't know where you guys are posting at!?

2012-02-10 [Ravenclaw]: they're in Soj and Eebi's room

2012-02-10 [Chel.]: Ohh...good question

2012-02-10 [Ravendust]: You can always make a big, bold, possibly h2 statement at the bottom of the page that counts as a stationwide announcement :)

2012-02-10 [Lord Josmar]: But thats no fun, lol. I'll do that once I get home from my laughably short shift at work.

2012-02-10 [NOOOPE]: the rooms could have speakers, or at least some alarm system.

2012-02-10 [Ravenclaw]: I vote speakers

2012-02-10 [NOOOPE]: Awww, Eebi

2012-02-10 [Chel.]: I knowwww.... with Sojana and Huras I think there is going to be a lot of that.

2012-02-10 [Ravenclaw]: wha?

2012-02-10 [Ravenclaw]: I was imagining club chairs, but whatev XD.

2012-02-10 [Chel.]: Well...they are kind both assholes.

2012-02-10 [Ravenclaw]: wtf are you talking about? Soj isn't an assholeit just takes a while for her to relax and let people know her.

2012-02-10 [NOOOPE]: Eebi!

2012-02-10 [Ravenclaw]: Sojana held up her clawed hand to the Preth. useless questions about his preduidice were not as important as what she had to ask. "What are your qualifications? How are you useful?"

2012-02-10 [Chel.]: SAD.

2012-02-10 [Lord Josmar]: So, apparently while I was just trying to make an update, someone else edited the page.

2012-02-11 [Chel.]: me

2012-02-11 [NOOOPE]: D'aw, huras is too scary for the fluffy

2012-02-11 [Chel.]: Lol indeed.

2012-02-11 [Lord Josmar]: DONT EDIT!

2012-02-11 [Ravenclaw]: "Do ether of you have contraban?" Sojana asked hastily. "I may have room to hide it with mine." She didn't believe Huras was a spy but tit for tat as the humans said. This was more important for now and she was sure she had a few cells worth of storage in her Kantab.

2012-02-11 [Ravenclaw]: "Where?" It was Sojana's turn to snarel. "I can hide it for you if you trust me."

2012-02-11 [Chel.]: Can we shorten this page up?

2012-02-11 [NOOOPE]: yeah, collapsing the rebel's section would be nice.

2012-02-11 [Ravenclaw]: Tell the truth Chel, you just don't wanna post my phone posts for me do ya?

2012-02-11 [Chel.]: I HAVE BEEN.

2012-02-11 [Ravenclaw]: anymore then 8 guess 8 should say.

2012-02-11 [Ravenclaw]: *facepalm* my 8 and i are the same key.

2012-02-12 [Ravenclaw]: I suppose we should wait for M

2012-02-12 [Ravendust]: not really sure what to do with my character at this point, off on her own again xP

2012-02-12 [Ravenclaw]: I tried, I really did.

2012-02-13 [Chel.]: Same here

2012-02-13 [NOOOPE]: I WANT IELHT BACK! Seriously, he got 5 freaking lines.

2012-02-13 [NOOOPE]: Hey dust, wanna meet Ielht?

2012-02-13 [Ravendust]: hmm, sure? xP

2012-02-13 [Chel.]: Uh.... did you just post that Leilani was AWARE she was drugged by strangers or am I interpreting that wrong?

2012-02-13 [Ravendust]: well, if you would have noticed my initial post before she met Ielht, it showed that she did, indeed, become aware towards the end and kind of faked it until she left the room, I believe having high metabolism goes well with her regeneration and the two played a part in her sobering up sooner than anyone would have thought.

2012-02-13 [Dezmond]: alrighty then i think i wanna interrupt a bit guys, i'm sorry!!! but if you could hold of posting for about ten or so minutes I was gonna cut off the page right at Eebi storming out

2012-02-13 [Ravendust]: okidokey :)

2012-02-13 [Dezmond]: okay! If you guys didn't like where that cut off, you're more than welcome to come to you're own closing scene on the history page. Wasn't intending to screw anyone up, just shortening the page ^^

2012-02-13 [Dezmond]: also, running ideas through my head for possible ways to speed this bit up a little, all the main characters have met who they're supposed to right now (rebels and rebels, narcs 'n narcs) sooooo i think it's time for some action! any ideas guys?

2012-02-13 [Ravenclaw]: Um, everyone on our side was under the impression that their room was about to get searched...

2012-02-13 [Ravenclaw]: And wtf?

Leilani didn't know which floor to get off at, she didn't know much about ships to begin with, and when Ielht joined her she was a bit unsure. The last group that she'd 'met' had drugged and interogated her, the idea of dealing with another stranger was a bit unsettling at the moment, she didn't know what to say and instead offered a faint smile before glancing away.

You don't establish what a drug is going to do to someone then totally discount it happening. That's poor role playing. Especially considering her bio in no way says she has any special imperiousness to drugs of any kind.

2012-02-13 [Dezmond]: well yeah i wasn't thinking move along THAT far ahead, only like err ten minutes or so just like a new scene still along the same premises as before they can continue preparing, or i could throw something out there to move things along I was kinda thinking like a lone rider thing, freaked by the announcement goes off and bombs a docking port or something set the whole thing into motion

2012-02-13 [Chel.]: My character is a doctor and knows her shit. She would BE FULLY AWARE that Leilani's species has high metabolism and would counteract it with the appropriate amount of sedative. Your character WAS drugged. You can't just walk out of it and say she was faking it. No offense, but that is total BS.

2012-02-13 [Dezmond]: oh sweet sonufa >.> chill guys I'm addressing the issue no need for this to turn into a huge blow out

2012-02-13 [NOOOPE]: The rebels haven't even had a chance to plan... I feel like this room search thing does a solid job of making things interesting. None of these three would flip out and blow something up. They're professionals.

2012-02-13 [Dezmond]: okay that's why i wanted input before I did anything ^^ if the rest of ya agree we can just keep along.

2012-02-13 [Ravendust]: Let me just say this- I'm NOT discounting the drug or whatever. It happened, I already discussed the high metabolism rate in the comments. I didn't continue that argument because I was irritated and didn't want a huge blowout over it. So yeah, I pretty much showed AFTER the incident, somewhere in the middle of all of you guys' posts, that she had pretty much faked being drugged towards the end.

They'd drugged her, she didn't feel she could trust them especially after that. So she did what she had to to get away. Everyone really needs to start reading the other parts, they do all matter, regardless of where characters are, etc. This shouldn't be being addressed this long after I'd done my initial posting.

It wasn't until she got to the elevator that Leilani stopped walking like a fool. She hadn't expected to be drugged... But towards the end, somehow, she'd come out of it.

She could make no sense of the situation at first, however, and for the time being had just continued to pretend she was under the influence of the drug. She wouldn't go back to that room, would go out of her way to avoid those strange aliens. They had their own agenda and she had hers.

She was back to her earlier issue, however, of not having a place to stay. Leilani would have to be careful, she didn't want to wind up in the same situation she'd just been in. "What was I even thinking?" She muttered to herself, it had definitely been a stupid decision to do what she'd done, she had to be more careful...


I realize I hadn't added the metabolism rate to her profile after Jeff pointed it out to me so yes, I got it added. Either way, there's no way that Eebi had a needle with the perfect amount of a drug sitting in her suitcase for any particular species. I don't want to fight, I just don't see the problem with my character getting over the drug quicker rather than have her roam the ship in a drugged state susceptable to the interogation of anyone else aboard.

In all honesty I thought it would be wiser, and better for her in general if she could overcome it quicker. I'm sure Eebi knows about the high metabolism rate of the becillians, but there's no way she knows that Leilani can regenerate, especially as it isn't really an active gene among them. And I feel that it can play a part in attacking the drug and getting it out of her system quicker.

Hopefully this covers it? I don't know what else to say at this point.

2012-02-13 [Ravenclaw]: I think due to the serious lack of planning and general outline, not to mention the level of "let me pull this out of my butt"-ery, you've lost yourself one kick ass player.

See ya.

2012-02-13 [Chel.]: Make that two~

2012-02-13 [Ravendust]: He's put a lot of work into this RP, is it really that bad that he asks his RPers how they feel we should proceed with some things? :-/

2012-02-13 [Ravenclaw]: It's not bad that he asks for input, but a good mod should at least have enough planned out for the beginning that he can direct his players into some sort of visual understanding of what's going on. I feel like I've no guidance other than my own expectation of what I think should and shouldn't happen. I run enough of my own games to not wanna have to guide myself when I join another persons game.

2012-02-13 [Chel.]: As good moderator ettiqute, one should know generally what is going to play out in their RP. Key events, structure, how characters meet, etc...that sort of deal. Instead, the players in this game were forced to think of their own plot devices to help things progress. (Example: How the rebels were each assigned to "seek out" another. M!, Ravenclaw and myself had to come up with that on our own...which should be the mod's job) That is not how it should work.
I don't mean to start anything, but Dez probably should have prepared a little more before starting up an RP and opening it to others. He had a great starting point but more work should have been put into it.

2012-02-13 [Chel.]: A mod should carry it's players...not the other way around.

2012-02-13 [Dezmond]: well, erm, I'm sorry guys. I really hadn't expected things to go this haywire. I guess I'm just not quite up to par with you're expectations of how an rp should be run. I hadn't meant for it to be so much trouble for you guys, but I understand.

2012-02-13 [Ravenclaw]: It's nothing personal. The endangering of our team based on: *POOF* "Nope, I wasn't as drugged as you thought I was! Lol!" bit that gets my goat. I can deal with your inexperience as a mod. Everyone has their first or second and games are going to die before you get it right. I can't count the number of times small ones like this have fizzled out for me. My advice is to maybe read a few more novels, watch some shows that deal with similar situations as to what you're going for maybe. Personally I find that audio books help my creativity a great deal. If you're too busy to sit and read, popping in a good novel while you're driving is a good way to absorb what's happening in the story. It helps me build scenarios I think will be engaging for my players. Again, nothing personal Dez, this game just isn't really what I'm looking for. Thanks though, I didn't know M before, playing here has helped acquaint me with her playing style and I appreciate that.

2012-02-13 [Ravendust]: You know, let me just say this bit... There was no *poof* *haha* bit. She was entirely drugged until towards the end. Leilani knows nothing about them, probably wouldn't repeat anything anyway because a-she doesn't want to seem suspicious herself b-she's pretty much a rebel in the making. I'd already said in comments when the scene was actually happening that I'd wanted her to start coming out of it, and suggested that yes, her naturally high metabolism pretty much kicked the drug from her system. If this is how things were going to turn out I may as well not have given Chel the go ahead to drug her in the first place. I'd wanted to have fun with this and get things going. My character is new to the scene entirely, yes she's against the drivers, but when rebels drug and interrogate her... yes, that's going to leave a lasting impression too, probably leave her uncertain of where to turn. I honestly thought it'd be an interesting situation, especially since the three of them just shoved her off on her own again after doing that. :-/ would have endangered them more if she'd still been drugged, especially when she met Ielht... Whether she consciously remembered them or not, her state probably would have been very suspicious and led to their discovery anyway... :-/

2012-02-13 [NOOOPE]: Geez. All the fun stuff happens after I go to bed.

Because this is rather tense... here's my view on the situation. I hope I come across as objective and fair.

Dez, it seems like you get it. With rps, the GM is offering to take people on an adventure, they're not offering people to make one themselves. In the past, I have accidentally hijacked rps by going overboard with brainstorming. I didn't want to do that with this rp, but eventually I felt like I had no choice. I don't like GMing because I want to be taken through a story that I can't predict and control. I didn't want control. I wanted to be taken on a ride. Eventually I and some of the rpers took over the plot, due to a lack of one, and that as a result, other rpers and lost track of what was going on. There could have been more communication, but despite some of us offering so many ideas, I really didn't see anything coming back. It was really one sided and that's rather frustrating. That's where I think annoyance is coming from.

Dust, I think I see why Chel and RC are upset. Eebi is set up to be a expert doctor. You waited until after the scene in the room to say that your character had actually been faking. Chances were Eebi would have noticed. Her bio sets her up to be an expert. Revealing it was an act after it could be dealt with wasn't entirely fair. It took credit away from Eebi and kinda verges on power playing. I know that wasn't the intent. I'm not angry or anything. Imagine Eebi's medical knowledge to be similar to Sojana's expertise with sniper rifles. Had this been a battle scene and you wrote Sojana shot had missed, you can see where that would be power playing and ignoring the fact that Sojana is a great shot. It diminished the other character. That's why I think Chel was so offended you made the drug not work. It was kinda insulting to her character. It was saying Eebi doesn't know what she's doing.

Another issue, which wasn't your fault, was the initial lack of plot. Without a plot, any character could have fit as long as they were in the right setting. As soon as a plot was constructed, there was no logical role for a princess. Besides regeneration, she had no skills to offer the resistance. Regeneration is also sort of a self serving thing anyway. It could not have been used for the rebellion. Leilani isn't a bad character, that's not what I'm saying. There just doesn't seem to be a place for her in rebellion setting. Huras is an anti-insurgency expert and soldier, Sojana is combat specialist and Eebi is a field doctor and an expert in alien biology. They all had something to offer. I know Chel and RC expressed that they were uncomfortable during the drugging Leilani scene because they had to break character a little to try their hardest and find a use for Leilani in the rebellion. In the end, there was no reason to keep a princess around. It would not have been sensible. RC and Chel really honestly and desperately tried to get your character into the story and like Dez, I feel they gave you tons of ideas, but you didn't give anything back. I'm sort of curious what you imagined Leilani would be doing in the story, and I'm not saying that in an demeaning way. Even without a plot, this rp was set up as a battle between tyrants and rebels and I don't see how she contributes. She can't fight, her bio doesn't indicate an expertise in anything. I know she's a recycled character, but perhaps she was simply a wrong fit? I have no doubt you could have very successfully made a badass character if you made a new one. I believe people became upset as they bent backwards to get your character involved and you weren't willing to make adjustments.

2012-02-13 [Ravenclaw]: M: Her bio sets her up to be an expert.

Not to mention the knowledge of centuries of evolution and experiences from her forbears because Prethians posses a "shared memory". Any encounter Chel's people had with Lil's in the past would translate into Eebi's basic knowledge of her people.

2012-02-13 [NOOOPE]: Yeah, I know it does, that's what I was saying. Making the drug not work is discounting that Eebi is an expert.

2012-02-13 [Ravendust]: I wasn't saying the drug didn't work, it definitely did. It just wore off sooner, as I said, I wouldn't think that Eebi would have a syringe with the perfect amount of a drug to keep anyone under for quite that long, or any set amount of time. I wasn't discrediting her at all, but I thought that with her high metabolism and the regenerative ability, that the two combined would run the drug through her system faster. As I said, the regenerative ability isn't really known to others, its indefinitely a recessive gene amongst the becillians, if the people had it at all...
