Furrae Chronicles: Webs of Destiny (OOC) [M] {2} - Closed

Tapewolf · August 09, 2006, 04:41:46 AM

I've made a slight edit to Jakob's rant: "you threatened Gareeku's life" -> "you shot Gareeku". If anyone objects I can revert it.

Gareeku · August 09, 2006, 07:44:36 AM

If anything, that makes it better, as Sheridan did describe his character aiming for Gareeku's arm.

Yep, that's the idea.

The slip that Gareeku fought the fake Cross was just that - a slip. It took me about 5 hours to realise I'd done it. I had half a mind to edit it, but decided that Jakob probably wasn't quite thinking straight anyway. And I was curious as to whether Arc/Sheridan would notice..

Xze has bad news

Xze's school is starting next tuesday which means no more Computer until my first report card and it HAS to have no 'F's or 'D's....

during that time, would anyone like to play my character if i explain her enough? or...should i drop out?

I would, but i'm busy enough in life as it is. I'm sure someone will fill in for you. If not, then i'll take control of her.

alrighty

Suwako · August 09, 2006, 03:10:42 PM

Okay, I have bad news for you guys (and for myself)

I'm officially going on vacantion on Friday and won't be back for three weeks. You may want to dish Alex or let someone else play him. The profile and current reactions basically display the biggest part of his personality. Tommorrow will be my final posting day. I hope to give a Little more depth into his personality that day but it's your decision I no one wants to play him I might as well write a post of him leaving. (and if I can I might walk in again if the GM let's me after my 3 week vacantion)

Sorry for my recent abscence. It's been a hard few days at work. Plus I meant to catch up yesterday but all of a sudden I was told to apply for a spot as head teacher (which I'm not sure if I want it, but I did anyway), so that took yesterday's afternoon away. I'll try to catch up now.

Tapewolf · August 10, 2006, 06:58:53 AM

Sorry, I went over Johan and Arc arguing about body counts and suddenly thought of Arsenic and Old Lace

Paladin, reading Arc's mind: You got twelve, he got twelve.
[Arc angrily grabs Paladin's collar]
Arc: I've got thirteen!
Pal: No, Arc, twelve - don't brag.
Arc: Thirteen! There's Mr. Spinalzo and the first one in London, two in Johannesburg, one in Sydney, one in Melbourne, two in San Francisco, one in Phoenix, Arizona...
Pal: Phoenix?
Arc: The filling station...
Pal [seeing the memory]: Filling station? Oh!
Pal: Yes.
Arc: Then three in Chicago and one in South Bend.
Pal: You cannot count the one in South Bend. He died of pneumonia!
Arc: He wouldn't have died of pneumonia if I hadn't shot him!
Pal: No, no, Arc. You cannot count him. You got twelve, he got twelve. Johan Cross is just as bad as you are!
Arc: Then I only need one more - and I've a pretty good idea who it should be.

Gabi · August 10, 2006, 07:02:24 AM

Err... what's that all about?

Half a dozen, not a dozen.

I still don't know who Arsenic and Old Lace are.

I'm just as clueless as you are, but this[/i] might shed some light on the matter.

Yep, and Cross killed about 9-10 people according to my notes. But I didn't want to change the dialogue itself

**EDIT EDIT**

I've expanded on Jakob's "What do we do with him?" line.

Tapewolf · August 11, 2006, 01:46:50 PM

Gareeku, the map is your baby, so if there is a new message at 7:30, feel free to have Jakob/Jay read it out in your post. (Or look at it disappointedly if there isn't one).
I'm kind of hoping Gabi will speak first though, to establish Jakob's pseudonym.

Nikki · August 12, 2006, 12:48:01 PM

alright, Xze's gonna pull out for now. when i return, i'll just show up in the Background if that makes sense and re-join yas..

Gareeku · August 14, 2006, 12:45:07 PM

I've received permission to take control of Xze's character while she's away...so, um...yeah... >_>

What about Alex? Can we kidnap him? :twisted He could manage to escape when his owner returns, maybe drop the group a few hints he's discovered during his ordeal..

"I doubt it's penguins," Gabi said automatically. "They usually live in the South and I've yet to meet a penguin creature. But lots of creatures do have wings, that's not much of a clue."

Well, assuming that Furrae has penguins (which I am), we don't actually know their distribution. I'm using the term 'arctic' generically like Vernor Vinge did for the Tines' world in 'Fire Upon The Deep'.

And damn, I could have sworn I wrote 'feral penguins'..

Gabi · August 18, 2006, 06:29:39 AM

Are feral penguins creatures? The letter did say creatures. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Oh dear. It didn't have the capital 'C' so I assumed it meant animals.
**EDIT**
Also because a group of sentient creatures usually build some kind of dwelling like a town or village.

Yeah, it does seem to be kind of stuck. My guess is that no-one wants to take responsibility for changing location, and it's going to have to be done simultaneously. I might have sent Jakob on ahead, but he's currently pretending he can't teleport.
And we still don't know where we have to go - I get the feeling Gareeku is gently saying 'no' about the Oracles, but I could be wrong.

**EDIT**
And here's a penguin for you.

Arcalane · August 27, 2006, 09:19:58 AM

"I have no idea what you're talking about, so here's a Penguin with a USB logo on it's chest."

<_< >_>

Gabi · August 27, 2006, 09:48:45 AM

That penguin should learn not to eat computer hardware. It's clearly caused him/her an indigestion.

OK, I'll capitalize the 'C'. JP, it's true that many Creatures tend to build towns and villages, but they're not the only places where they can be found. SAIA, for example, is neither, and there are many winged Creatures there. And I don't think Dragons live in that kind of settlement. Nor do most mythos we've heard of.

Nikki · August 27, 2006, 09:55:16 AM

PENGUIN!! *tackle hug*

...Xze will take charge if no one else will cuz Xze is bored

Gabi · August 27, 2006, 09:57:45 AM

Note about my latest post: the rumor may or may not be true. I know Azlan's RPG is not cannon, and it's not set exactly in the same world, but I thought this little part of it would make sense. In that game, my character was originally a low-ranked priestess at a Phoenix temple, even though she wasn't a Phoenix herself.
