Dern.

Bad luck - looks like you're not going to be able to wheedle him down. I won't make an IC post out of that - you can make Jericus' decision and post for yourself.

[Etcetera]

In response to your question, LCP, yes and yes.

My suspicion is that we have invoked the reputation of somebody who won't be too happy when he finds out.

Incidentally, I just saw Event Horizon and it is the most 40K-ish film ever.

[Destro_Yersul]

IF he finds out. Let's hope he doesn't ask.

I had this horrible thought at work, actually. What if Mr. Fox is Octavian Rhodes? PARANOIA

[LCP]

Team Tychon, what have I got from you guys? You want to try and find Jericus and Nova... by searching the stalls? Through your comms (are you wearing those)?

If you're waiting on me, I'm waiting on you.

[Destro_Yersul]

Tychon's got his. Given we were discussing codes and things earlier, I imagine the others would have theirs too. Time to find out!

[Thragka]

Tauron doesn't actually have a commbead, just for reference.

[Destro_Yersul]

I thought we all got issued them at some point? The Miranda would, I imagine, have had a few spares on hand for anyone who didn't already have one to grab.

[Thragka]

Ah, I wasn't sure, and never specifically said in character that I was taking one, so I don't want to retcon that just for convenience. The briefing only seemed to mention that the Miranda carried clothes, not gear.

[LCP]

I think the cell has always used commbeads. If you want to credit yourself with one, I won't bat an eye - I think that's what the others did. <_<

[LCP]

Just a notice for you all - on Tuesday, I fly out to Japan for a collaboration meeting. Will be flying back on the 29th - in the meantime, my posting time may be severely limited. I'll have my laptop with me, though, so I'll see what I can do.

Fair enough, guess he was wired all along. >_>

Good luck with and/or have fun in Japan!

[Etcetera]

oh boy, here we go!

[Thanatos 51-50]

I... um...
Red actually bought a commbead.
But yes, the cell has always used 'im.

[LCP]

Just checking up here - Rizhail, are you pressed for time at the moment? I can't help but notice that your post rate has dropped a fair bit.

And yeah, I know this is a fine time for me to talk! This is the last day of meetings; I should be back to normal availability come tomorrow, although still on Japanese time until Sunday.

[Rizhail]

It's not a time issue, but a site issue. I was trying to post IC not ten minutes ago and had yet another post eaten by 500/503 issues. Everytime I try to post, either at home or at school, site issues kill my posts. It's getting really damn frustrating.

EDIT: REALLY!? The OOC post can get through but not the IC one? I call shenanigans.

EDIT the second: Okay, I apparently hit a calm spot in the turbulence that is the GitP forums performance. IC post finally up.

On an un-complaint related note: How's the jet lag treating you, LCP? I remember the jet lag between the states and Okinawa kicking my ass as a kid, when the family would come back to the states for summer vacation. And the 16+ hours of flights didn't help.

[LCP]

Ah - you have my sympathies on the board troubles :\

How's the jet lag treating you, LCP?

It's been alright - I had something like a 24-hour day of staying awake on the way over, so I adjusted OK to going to sleep at the right time. Being illiterate when it comes to kanji has been a bigger problem - that and whacking my head on things!

EDIT: 500 error while posting this. I feel we should accrue loyalty points or something when this happens.

[Thanatos 51-50]

So, what part of Japan did you get to? Tokyo, I'm going to assume.
There's actually a gaming shop in Akihabra that sells English-language stuff called Yellow Submarine. S'a pretty cool little place that I couldn't find for forever.

I totally sympathise with the "illiterate in kanji[/hiragana/katakana]" deal, too. You're aware that the trains are Gaijin-friendly for the heavily populated areas and most of Honshu, right? If you had time, you could have gone and done the tourist thing.

Oh! Right! Red has been quiet in the IC. I'll get on that.
I blame the rapidly-approaching Finals. Three literature classes, guys.

[LCP]

So, what part of Japan did you get to?

Tokaimura. Less gaijin-friendly than the big city, I think, although they are a bit used to this nest of foreign scientists in their midst by now.

Still here until Sunday, so now that the meetings are over I might have the time to go some places outside Tokai village. So far the furthest I've been is Mito.

[LCP]

You all guessed it was going to happen anyway, but I've been waiting to write this post for so long

I'm waiting for Rhodes to turn out to be a Genestealer, personally.

[Destro_Yersul]

It might be worth pointing out that Hieronymus was a good 8" taller than Red. Can't possibly be the same Mr. Bosc, unless he shrunk a bit.

[LCP]

Whether he remembers that or not, Octavian is far too polite to contradict Mr Keter at an event like this

Then Mr Keter will be polite enough to avoid making pointed references to the combustibility of certain family members.

[LCP]

Ooooh, burn.

*cymbal*

[Destro_Yersul]

We shall simply have to re-introduce the combustability of the Rhodes dynasty in a practical demonstration. For historical record, of course.

Also, LCP is a damn ninja. I've editted my IC post to respond to his second.

[Thanatos 51-50]

I vaguely remeber being on the train as it passed Tokai station. About an hour and a half out from Tokyo, if memory serves. If you transfer at Ofuna to the Yokosuka line, and head away from Tokyo, you should run into Kamakura. Probably my favourite stop. I like temples.

~~~

Yes, Octavian Rhodes.
Red has insulted the man's marksmanship and hunting prowess! And hopefully the whole back-turning thing put him on edge, too.

[Destro_Yersul]

Must you people intentionally antagonise the fellow with the huge gun?

At any rate, while I don't have Scrutiny trained, I'd like a test against Simeon. It's a basic skill, and 39 Per buys me an almost 20% chance of success.

Well, Jer and Red's survival is testament to how bad he was with it last time.
