DMs (finally) posted! And with them, the re-introduction of a character near and dear to every one of my veteran players' hearts (Gorgondantess's DM, if you're curious). Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, I may also be able to post the next set a bit earlier than usual this week. So . . . I suggest you get your posts in now, rather than wait as *some* people around here do.

As a note, Rosenberg is fine - well, okay, he's still alive and probably rather pissed off. Assume, despite it being rather painful, has about as much effect as those cartoons were people get blown up and come walking back in with their faces covered in soot (which is to say, it has no real effect at all).

Quick update: I will be out of town from the 21st to the 25th, and will likely not be posting, as I'll mostly be using my iPod for music purposes.

Speak for yourself, I got hit by bloody lightning.
Oh, boo-freaking-hoo. Have you even read, like, The Snark's first 2 DMs? Getting hit by lighting is a tingly massage compared to that. And it only gets worse.

Hey hey, noobies get to complain as they get slowly dipped into liquified torture without realizing it.
See above for my retort to the (justified) new-guy whining. And quite a lot of new players do protest before they get used to it - my favorite was always Lonna's - bleeping soul crystal indeed!
And in regards to The_Snark, this is still kids gloves. Escape was the only time I was actually mean to poor Mar.

(Yup! It's all in good fun. If you don't complain, then clearly I'm not beating you hard enough! Just like my hatred for OverWilliam, and THE_SNARK MUST SUFFER!!! )

"So after you've been broken and reshaped, body and soul, into a terrified child whose only goal in life is to get through each day without displeasing her captors..."
It's all been uphill from there! More or less. I don't know if that's uplifting or depressing.
Although really, a lot of the Escape intros were brutal. "You have been in the torture chamber for two days now..." "After months of restless, nightmare-filled magical slumber, you awaken to find yourself facing an inhuman Judge..." "You begin as a small pile of ashes inside a consecrated urn, sealed inside a cell deep in the bowels of Ironheart..."
Back in our day, barefoot in the snow, uphill both ways, get off the lawn, mumble mumble etc.
*cough* Anyway! I'm sure it warms the cockles of Inspectre's cold, dead heart to hear your complaints and laments. He'd worry that he's doing something wrong, otherwise.

As I recall, I used that particular phrase both because I was young and inhibited enough not to want to swear in a public forum, and because I was naive and sheltered enough that I couldn't think of a swear word strong enough for my dismay at finding my character bound, gagged, and muffled head to foot in a thick leather sack, not to mention being stuffed into a giant soul crystal. Of course, the veteran players (and most of my fellow new recruits) had no sympathy whatsoever... and in retrospect I can't really blame them, considering that I was probably one of few who had no physical injuries starting out.
Of course, I have lately been taking notes on all of your complaints - as Inspectre's understudy, it behooves me to know what annoys you so that I can strike it down upon you with great vengeance and furious anger (name that movie reference!) should I ever need to step in for him.

*snort* Bahahahaahaha! You're alright TechnOkami! Better watch yourself, you've seen what I've done to people I like.
And yes, at the end of the last thread we discussed what should happen if I were to mysteriously disappear (because I"m so much more likely to just leave the thread hanging to troll everyone instead of doing something as pedestrian as shuffling off this mortal coil ). Lonna stepped forward as someone interested in taking over should that happen, to make sure that this story is finished! As such, instead of keeping all of the game's details rolling around in my head, I"m going to try to put together a packet of notes on what I *think* is going to happen, so she can take over if necessary (no peeking!).
And she may get the chance to do a test run in the near-ish future. I'm going up an age category today (just like dragons ) - i.e. It's my Birthday! *kazoo noises* As one of my gifts, I've been informed that I'm going to go hang out with some of my friends at a cabin (hopefully not this cabin ) for two weeks of camping-in-style. The place will have power, but no internet I've been informed, so I imagine that by the end I will be climbing the walls. I'm thinking that maybe Lonna will take over for me while I'm gone. Fear not, however, for this will not take place until next spring (**** camping in winter) - so we have plenty of time for things to change yet. Maybe Return will even be over by then! (Haha, yeah right).

Re: Return to Ironheart OOC
That's what she gets for being the shy, square girl dancing half-heartedly in the corner by herself.
