INTERACTION WANTED!

Y'know, from watch members. I'm too lazy to link the smiley!

[Duck999]

Well, it wasn't when I asked...

How many people PM you?

[TechnoScrabble]

C'nor, your pm box is full again, did you mean that list of moves you were gonna do?

[Lady Serpentine]

Speaking of Elexxion security... What would Alia be doing at the moment?

Edit: A number between none and many, otherwise defined as 'I don't see why how many people PM me is any of your business'?

Edit II: Sorry about that; as my partner just pointed out, I was being something of a bitch there. Been in snappy mood all day. Not that many, but a fair number. More a matter of timing, though, really.

Edit III: Yeah, I did. Sorry, partner pointed it out via PM. Go ahead and just post it here.

[TechnoScrabble]

Boop! Here ya go!

((Assuming we're actually holding to the stats for all this, since otherwise it would be even more confusing, so that's why all the numbers...

Orelani casts Barter in Blood, sacrificed two Akroan Crusaders, both of you now have to sacrifice two creatures too, or should have to, anyway.

Sacrifice a Fiendslayer Paladin for Altar's Reap, Vania gets two more Black mana, Aggressive Urge on two of the Vulturous Zombies, and the now 4/4 pair block two Armored Griffins, while Vania gets two more Green mana,

Sacrifice Boros Reckoner for Altar's Reap, Vakaera gets two more Black mana, Animate Dead on Boros Reckoner, it returns to life, she (4/4 with Reach from AEther Web) then blocks another Armored Griffin.

Vania then casts two Battlegrowths on it, meaning it's now a 4/5, and, given what it is, it can hurt your stuff.

Boros Reckoner, notably, has two Red Mana and two White mana; it then casts Lightning Bolt on one of the Armored Griffins and another Lightning Bolt on the Riftmarked Knight, blocking one of the Mavericks, using its own damage ability to send the last point of damage needed to kill it (I think) into the Riftmarked Knight, followed by a Carom on an Armored Griffin, giving the Reckoner one more White mana, spent on a Harm's Way, redirecting all damage that would hit the 3/3 Vulturous Zombie blocking it back into the final two Mavericks.

Note that this is dependent on what gets sacrificed.))

That would probably be based upon what part of the job she got augmented for. Still, there's not a lot of hostility toward Elexxion right now, so I'm not sure how much there is to do anyways. I sent John 909 to Watch to offer Elexxion's help in the face of the apocalypse, meager as it is with the compliment they have, but Alia can always help combat that.

[TechnoScrabble]

Garrett could do some work for elexxion if they need him. They did prevent his death for free and all.

[Lady Serpentine]

Ah, right... She was honestly pretty torn about that. I don't think we ever did aug her onscreen, so maybe that would be a thing that she could do?

[TechnoScrabble]

I can't sleep. What up?

[Deathkeeper]

I can't sleep. What up?

I've been throwing around how most of my characters haven't changed much, in the development sense and the actually avoiding what seems to be usual Nexus crazy way.
Also considered making some sort of shifter/were-/blah, but then decided I have enough PCs already in all likelihood.

[TechnoScrabble]

Wanna do anything? I think Garrryy and Spako were at the mall but they could prolly find something cool to do, or I could throw out another character or mini-plot for you.

The arty fire around where I'm staying is keeping me up, and I really need something to pull my mind away from the sound so I can write/sleep/not freak out and hide in the storm shelter with a makeshift spear again.

Well, I believe ShadowCaller has been a bit busy and therefore hasn't gotten to advancing that scene.
I'm not sure what an arty fire is, but if you can think of something, sure. If you'd like.

[TechnoScrabble]

Artillery. Big guns. Boom boom boom yeeeeeeooooooooowwwwwww boom. Terrifying to hear going in or out.

I dunno, what kinda characters do you have/interaction are you in the mood for?

[Deathkeeper]

Scrabble, please tell me the place where you live isn't being shelled.
And well, let me pull up my list.

Spoiler

Show

Arty- Centaur, waiting to conclude scene with Halae, should probably hold off on using him for a while. Same goes for Jim and SC's sequence
Krayger- Minotaur, mercenary and engineer could really use more screentime to give him personality
Iggy- Phoenix, pyromancer and reincarnation specialist, almost as snarky as Zebes
Mist- Kitsune bartender at DFI
Mark Two- Myr at GLoG
Carth- Griffin cub at GLoG
Nick "Cal" Richards- former NCR Ranger at the Irregulars

I don't really know. I've been tempted to make something that's more of a "joke" PC for a while, but I've never actually gotten around to one that doesn't die faster than their first scene

I still cannot stop reading this as Boom de yada.

I am ready to go slower in Mallside in posting. This is the last post for me tonight I think.

[TechnoScrabble]

Nah, the shells are going out this time. Still, the sound terrifies me. I hate indirect fire weapons. ****, even snipers need line of sight, that gives me a chance to shoot back. That, and I had a shell land in my hooch and not go off and I sat there scared ****less for a moment just betting it was a gas round and I was about to die horribly. I want to face the man who kills me, and at least give him a scar in return.

Any who, it doesn't have to be a combat plot, or a dangerous one. The Nexus can be pretty nice sometimes.

[Deathkeeper]

Somehow, the concepts of "at risk of being sniped" and "is around often with a stable internet connection" don't seem to be meshing with my sleep-deprived brain.
And I don't know, I'm almost getting tired of talking scenes. I'm starting to feel like I want something important to happen to someone, because at least I'll remember it instead of having a year of scenes that all mesh together.
Or, I can just make a temporary character as a joke and see what I can come up with that's funny. As I said, I've been thinking about some sort of were-creature gag recently...

[Lady Serpentine]

Hey, LDK, you're involved in Aegis, and Wolfy hasn't replied that I know of, so... Are they just sorta offering beds to everyone now, or was there a misunderstanding in my scene, since Tirya hasn't actually asked to join?

[Deathkeeper]

As far as I can tell, it's possible that he didn't expect her to just stand up and walk/fly all the way home and was offering a place to stay the night, or he just offers shelter to everyone and said so in case the above was true or she just wanted somewhere to stay for a while.

[Murkus]

Ah, right... She was honestly pretty torn about that. I don't think we ever did aug her onscreen, so maybe that would be a thing that she could do?

Sure, that's fine.

When I was there he kind of said, There are plenty houses here. Go find one and you can stay there.

My guess is that with so many plot clones of Aequitus, Wolfy simply missed the fact that Tirya hadn't asked to join. He's been on 12 hour shifts the last few days, and the OOC thread has been crazy busy, so I doubt he's read all the posts here.

I wouldn't recommend having your character stay if she isn't going to join, unless it's just for a night. But if she is going to join, then there's no problem.

[Arkhosia]

I'm going to be offline 9:30-11 AM GMT-5, and offline for an indeterminate amount of time about 30 minutes afterwards due to a trip to a city.

A mixture of the shifts and the likely possibility I simply missed a post. Plus he's fairly lax in his recruitment process right now. If a PC's been offered a place to stay, they're allowed in. There isn't a great big form to fill out.

Makes sense, fair enough. I certainly have no objection to her joining at the moment, I just wanted to make sure that she was actually supposed to, and figured that since it looked like you were busy again, or at least had missed it and weren't on, I'd ask one of the other Aegis people.

I've got a homemade secure hardpad. Also, I'm safely stateside right now, they were doing test firing on the base I'm nearby. The sound just freaks me out.

Oh, and its c'nor's turn skyside!

[Lady Serpentine]

Actually, meant to ask about that... While I get 'because anime', I do still want to know how he's doing this when her sword went through from the front and is currently locked between her arm and her side?

(To clarify what she did, in case it wasn't clear, she leapt, then brought her sword down over his head, through his chest, and back under her arm.)

[Aric Kale]

My apologies, I thought she just stabbed him through the chest from the back. At which point, because every character in an anime is obscenely tough, he would grit his teeth and spin in place to toss his opponent off. I can edit if you need.
Can you remind me what your character is, again?

Ah, good to know, TS.
And while I know it's after the fact, if you ever want to use one of your PC, I'll be around.
