Of Steam and Steel: OOC (Steampunk RP, Mature) {Open}

[Tapewolf]

In fact, devouring their souls would be completely acceptable under such circumstances, as they'd all be tried, and probably found guilty of piracy... which is a soul-executable offense

Seth in his original story specialised in hunting Creatures who ate souls, so that's not exactly his style.  He's more likely to try and kill them to prevent what would ensue if they were convicted.

First bits of trivia about Anabelle: she likes pies a lot, and she likes to block her own thoughts with light talk when she gets too nervous.

Yes, trivia is supposed to be trivial.

Also, please do not compare the apples and the oranges.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Wow.

That's a heck of a post, there, Gabi.

[Gabi]

Thanks! I'm glad someone read it.

Renard's lines were written by Bas.

[Lisky]

Hey now... i worked out the dialogue with you, and read it as well ... and thus, as soon as i finish the IC post up things should start to be more interesting

[Gabi]

I know you did, Bas. Well, I didn't know you'd already gone through the post, but I was assuming you would, eventually, because you're very dedicated.

I wasn't expecting anyone else would read it though, considering it's a long post and not directly related to anyone else's stories.

[techmaster-glitch]

I read it all, too...

It was interesting in that it sounds like the demon was hit by some kind of Ahnk special forces... probably not what happened, but that's what it sounds like.

[techmaster-glitch]

Bas has allowed me to announce this;

Some of you have been chatting with Bas about the game and posts, some of you haven't. Those of you that have are not often in the same place.

Well, now there is one convienient place for everyone to gather in! Here* is llearch's IRC server, from which you can get to Bas' channel at any time by typing the command /join baschat (or by replacing #comicfrenzy with #baschat in the login). No singups or downloads required, anyone can come in at any time! Chat about posts, ask Bas questions about the game... anything related to this RP (Those of us who have already been using this chat have gotten some choice information ). One easy place that everyone can use!


*Bas wil be putting up the same link in the first post of this OOC thread, for ease of location

[Tapewolf]

If anyone is interested I've added a picture of Sethir to his profile, courtesy of Ren.  I think it still needs a little tweaking (the ear is too short?), but that's the general idea.  The suit is a bit more Project Future than steampunk, though I've been assuming that such things (including polymers for the helmet) are available from places with magic-enhanced manufacturing capability.

[techmaster-glitch]

Ooh, that's pretty nice...although yeah, I think the outfit's a little too "slick" for a steampunk setting

[Ashen Star]

sorry, very bad day with bad spinal infection will get back soon.

[techmaster-glitch]

sorry, very bad day with bad spinal infection will get back soon.

Spinal infection? That sounds really bad...hope you get better soon

[Kafzeil]

sorry, very bad day with bad spinal infection will get back soon.

Ouch, hope you get better soon. That sounds nasty.

Posted after confering with Bas on a few things. Yes, the song is of personal significance to Gabriel, and was edited down accordingly. Players are warned to be careful what they read into it, as I will giggle incessantly at misconceptions.

Ashen: Condolences, and well wishes

[Tapewolf]

Yes, the song is of personal significance to Gabriel, and was edited down accordingly.

Actually, I've been looking for that song for a while now.  What's it called?
(You have no idea how hard it was to avoid mentioning Long Lankin while Seth was mopping up after his kill.)

Ashen: Condolences, and well wishes

Seconded.

[WhiteFox]

What's it called?

...

It's called "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye."

(I sense an imminent face-palm)

As it happens, Steeleye Span's version seems to have been titled "Fighting for Strangers" 

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Heh. And here I was thinking of Dropkick Murphy's version...

[WhiteFox]

As it happens, Steeleye Span's version seems to have been titled "Fighting for Strangers" 

That's because it's a completely different song.

Most all of the traditional celtic versions I went by (Clancy Brothers and Dubliners, though I'm not especially partial to either rendition), was called "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye."

Incidentally, I imagine Gabe's last line ("Drums and guns...") as sung by the Dropkick Murphys. Their cover is called "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya," so I can understand there might be some confusion there.

I don't think I've heard any version of it in more than 25 years, so yeah, memory is a little hazy

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

I'm obviously not playing, but I always thought it was bizarre that (at least the tune I'm familiar with) the instrumentation for "Johnny I hardly knew ye" is identical for "When Johnny comes marching home again", and yet the tone presented by the lyrics is diametrically opposed.

[Liatai]

I'm not playing either (but I'm enjoying reading it!), but talking about tone dissonance... I'm most familiar with that tune as a kids' song. 

"The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah..."

[Sunblink]

I just got back from my psychiatrist's after discussing the fact I haven't been able to think clearly or coherently beyond a very limited vocabulary, and it turns out we're switching around my medication. However, making sure I get some proper sleep and wake up without feeling like my head's filled with sand is the highest priority, and restoring writing and artwork is way behind.

I don't know how long things are going to take anymore. I'm sorry for this really depressed post, but as it turns out I don't think I'm going to be playing in the RP for a while. I really thought I was making progress in the areas that mean the most to me, so this is an unbelievable disappointment. I'm sorry, guys.

[Lisky]

   You get yourself better Keats, and we'll be here when you're ready...

Take all the time you need, and if you need anything, feel free to ask.

[WhiteFox]

Take as much time as you need to, Keats. We'll have a spot for you when you're up and running again.

Now go get some sleep.

[Tipod]

Ditto, I don't think anyone here's going to fault you for that. In the meantime, chillaxary and maxilary.

[Ashen Star]

out of the hospital now.  Still have a nasty infection.  104 fevers suck!  Still not up to posting but I hope by next week I will be.

[Lisky]

No worries, Ashen.  Thanks for the update, and hope you feel better soon

[Tapewolf]

Seth's still waiting on the fireball ploy.  I guess you were waiting for Bart's move?

[Lisky]

That i am, though i'm going to be doing shorter posts to keep conversations going today between players and NPCs... so, most likely, soon after Bart's post, i'll get a train-crash post up too
