[Nexus] OOC 27: I saw Moffy kissing Wolfy Claws

[happyturtle]

If he grew up there, and stayed instead of leaving home when he became an adult, then we just handwave that you're already there, and he's known as Elder Whateverhislastnameis to the kids there.

Be sure and read my faction entry on the Order of Cunningham to get a feel for it. They're big into pop culture references and being nice. I'll nudge you ooc if I think something you've posted is too out there, but otherwise, just jump right in.

[ThirdEmperor]

Would there be any objections to me having a bogeyman show up to haunt the orphanage? Not a murderous sort mind you, just a basically harmless specter with a chain-smoking habit who scares people for kicks.

[Reinholdt]

The Admiral claims that job already and it's directly related to going to school.

[happyturtle]

Go ahead, TE. But I reserve the right to have Sister Gertrude permanently Banish him from the premises if he crosses the line.

[Morty]

*pokes BR to Mallside* Methinks you missed my post there.

[Mindfreak]

Is the Westside Children's Home the same thing as the Order of the Cunningham's chapel or what?

[Tychris1]

Is the order of the Cunningham accepting smelly/scruffy janitors?

[happyturtle]

Think of the Order of Cunningham as being your basic standard RL religion. They have a Cathedrel, where people go for church services. They have a Children's Home where they care for orphans. If they get enough PCs, maybe one day, they'll sponsor a hospital. But most of the members of the Order would have jobs that wouldn't relate to the church at all. Just like most members of the RL church down the street from you don't have jobs there. They turn up for services, and they try to live according to the precepts of the church (or at least pretend to), but most of them aren't pastors or caretakers in an orphanage or groundskeepers for the cathedral. Most of them have ordinary jobs outside the church.

So, the Cathedral is the big fancy building where services are held. The only people who live there are the Pastor and his wife, and the groundskeeper's family. During services, the members donate money. The Order uses this money to pay for the upkeep of the building, the salary of the pastor and groundskeeper, and of course, a very large portion of it goes to supporting the Children's Home.

The Children's Home is a different building. Some of the caretakers live here full time, because the kids live here full time, so they need grownups. Some people, like cooks and teachers and such, will only be paid for turning up for hours during the daytime. Some of the members of the Order will do volunteer work at the Home. And once a week, the children all get dressed up in their nicest padawan robes and led to the Cathedral for church services.

Does that help?

@ Tycris: Scruffy yes. Smelly no. They'd make him take a bath. Can't be setting a bad example for the children.

((deadtime for me. Slii is authorized to accept adult caretaker PCs for the Children's Home if he feels up to the (minimal) responsibility involved. Orphans (assuming they're really children, or can fake that they are) don't need pre-approval.))

[UncleWolf]

Mindfreak, the cutscene for the Barricade 2 scene is up, and I hope it meets your approval. Sorry for the long delay on it.

[Moff Chumley]

Long time no see, guys. How's everyone been doing?

[Darklord Bright]

Moff, hi! I've been drawing things. And right now I'm playing a woman who can turn into a sword. It's fun.

[Tychris1]

Grumble grumble grumble. Fine, no smelly janitors. Also I give you my OOC word that my janitor isn't secretly poisoning the food or punting Oliver twist when he ask's "For more please?"

[ThirdEmperor]

Hey, cool to see you around again Moff.

AMENs finally doing stuff again, the latest apocalypse just wrapped up, Magtok is still hilarious, and things are generally awesome round here.

[UncleWolf]

Tychris, what did you decide about Outside? Speaking of which *pokes TE to Riv's Hamlet*

[Slii Arhem]

Grumble grumble grumble. Fine, no smelly janitors. Also I give you my OOC word that my janitor isn't secretly poisoning the food or punting Oliver twist when he ask's "For more please?"

Then his first job should be repairing the hole Riley just blasted into the wall. Nicely. Without traumatizing the children.

[Moff Chumley]

AMEN's doing stuff, ya say? Sounds like the ideal time for MoffCoup, take four.

...I kid. As far as you know.

[Tychris1]

@Slii You mean pulling up his pants so that he doesn't expose a bigger crack to the children then the one in the wall?

@Wolf Decide on what? The whole survivability thing? If so then you should know that Rick isn't going to hunt Javert down unless Javert either

A) Threatens/Endangers Rick
B) Pushes too hard on Rick's Xenophobia of strangers (Being overtly creepy or suspicious, commiting murder right infront of him)

And either way dying for me doesn't really matter since I made him to see how long I could last with a normal person armed with a shotgun. Getting killed is part of the process.

[UncleWolf]

What I meant was that you'll have to change quite a bit of your post I think to make it so it fits the setting to what TE specified.

[ThirdEmperor]

Yeah, Prometheus tried to recruit the AMENites to help with a truly idiotic plan to attack EE, as part of his slightly-less-idiotic plan to break the truce with Remnant. Magtok proceeded to propose an even worse plan, which everyone went along with instead. And Gordon was all sad because no-one wanted to play Mario Kart with him.

Also, Tychris; Everyone in Hamlet is slightly mutated, possessing some minor uncontrollable magic power. So if Rick lives in Hamlet, he would have to be magically altered as well. Doesn't have to be anything important, maybe his hair just changes color or he can "hear" smells or something, heck, he could even be using the magic suppressant drugs Riv provides to repress his magical talent, but there are no non-mutants in Hamlet.

[Mindfreak]

Mindfreak, the cutscene for the Barricade 2 scene is up, and I hope it meets your approval. Sorry for the long delay on it.

Wolfy...you're amazing ＼(^o^)／

[Moff Chumley]

Well to be fair Gordon probably uses the blue shell. As we all very well know, the blue shell is for the weak and the bitter.

[ThirdEmperor]

And for robots! Bots always use the blue shell just as you're about to win.

[The Bushranger]

Bleh. Posting may be a bit slower than usual tonight. I ground my teeth earlier and now they hurt. Ugh.

[Tychris1]

There we go, stress induced feet claws.

[Lady Serpentine]

Bleh. Posting may be a bit slower than usual tonight. I ground my teeth earlier and now they hurt. Ugh.

I'm sorry your teeth hurt.

[The Bushranger]

No prob. They're starting to feel better now. As long as I don't do the "Oh, let's check and be sure - ouch!" thing.

[Moofin Bard]

Hey everyone. Sorry I've been away so long. Thanksgiving Break sort of got the best of me. I'm not going to be very active for a while though. I have a few huge papers due soon so I have to get busy on those.

[Lady Serpentine]

Good.

And yeah, that is pretty hard to avoid doing sometimes, isn't it?

Edit: Welcome back, Moofin!

Let me know when you have some time, and I'll link you to the last few posts with Karyana and Mel in the Forest.

[The Bushranger]

*waves at Moofin!*

And yeah - humans can be perverse that way sometimes.

[happyturtle]

Happy Birthday, Magtok!

I think Missy was bordering on OP in the barricade battle, which ended in this post, so I wanted to show how she pays for it here. She can run around at an enhanced speed for a time without suffering too much, but once she goes to ludicrous speed, she ends up in the hospital.

In completely unrelated news, Ermine in her winter coat:

Did you know ermines are classified among the 100 "world's worst alien invasive species"?

Is anyone surprised?
