The only thing I can think of, @MatthiasAngel, is some kind of intertial manipulation. It is conceivable that manipulating the effect its mass has on its momentum might allow her to perform some evasion techniques which would not normally be possible, by using the weapon as a counterweight.

If that helps, go for it. If not, it's all good. ^_^

@BlessedWrathQuestion: Sam is currently passed out in a crashed Space-ship of some kind, right? Would it be cool if Damien woke sleeping beauty from her little nap by pulling her out of there?

I will have a post up by tomorrow afternoon.

@Raijinslayer, if you feel that's best, there's no specific objection I can raise to it. Just be aware: Sam is not...like other girls. If the first thing she wakes up to is a pair of Prince Charming lips, she's liable to unload both shock gloves into the most vulnerable place she can lay hands on.

Still though: It would get her introduced into the party, and raise some interesting questions she may not wish to immediately answer. I say go for it.

@BlessedWrathJaiden: *is hurt* "Wow. . . do I really give off that much of a creep vibe?" goes into the corner to sulk

But ye, sounds good and Jaiden would probably think he deserved the shock if he pulled a stunt like that.

Is Skype a thing here? Do we have that contact info on our profiles? I could be contacted for OOC discussion there.

@BlessedWrathi dont think we have stuff like that at the moment, though you could ask the group whether we should start up a group discord or something(or not, since i just did it.)

Or that, yeah. Link please?

Here ya go, tho we should probably hold off on making a group channel till we talk to the GM and others about the idea, just so we know that most of us want to do it(as Discord can kill OOC presence, which isn't good for people who don't want/can't be involved with it.)

Appreciated, and agreed. Nothing should be done as a group without the GM's approval. I just think it would be a useful tool.

It is also true that a group chat should not replace the proper OOC area. I think it could be used for RP related discussions which might otherwise bog down the OOC, or for general off-topic banter which absolutely has no place here.

@BlessedWrathYe, sounds about right. Either way, I'm sure Terg will address it when he sees the convo. Also, post is up. Hope you enjoy it. I left the description of the craft vague since you didn't have a solid definition of what it looked like in your post, but I assume it's only a 1-person sized vessel, ye?

@Raijinslayer, absolutely, yes. I suppose I should get on that description, then.

I will point out that it has been well over a year since I roleplayed. I am undeniably rusty. It will take me some time to get back into the swing of things.

Going to read your post now.

@BlessedWrathNo problem, take as long as you need. I'm kinda rusty myself in a fashion, as I haven't really written up an actual post that I like in a while. I feel good about this one though, even if it isn't my best by a long shot. It feels like a step in the proper direction, if ya get what I mean.

Well...since I intend to wait for all others to post before continuing myself, I offer this OOC description of the craft as I know it. Since you have already established an outer access door, that kind of forces it into medium to medium-heavy fighter class as a light fighter would only have a cockpit. There is probably an empty seat behind Sam; perhaps for a gunner or for navigation.

@BlessedWrathNeat Description. I'll get to editing my post to reflect this some time tomorrow before or after work.

@BlessedWrath @Raijinslayer So much for people showing up on the bus.

@MatthiasAngel Not gonna lie that kinda went out the window when Tergo said that he wanted to avoid collab posts, since having everyone show up on a van/bus would be a pretty meaty collab post.

Have you ever been on a bus? Those people are weird. o_o

No worries about the bus thing; it is still plausible for there to be a van driven to the lodge by Dusk's character, since the lodge will likely need it for field trips to the city or other places. It's also possible that Nora was told there would be a bus, but that might have been miscommunication or information that was not up-to-date. I'm sure we can adapt the story to include lodgers who weren't specifically invited at first, since there will be enough rooms for all the characters in the lodge whether they were invited or not. "Crashing in a spaceship" is actually one of the ways I've introduced characters into this kind of chat setting before, so I'm good with it.

I guess when I imagined the idea of everyone coming in on a bus or van, I thought that everyone could just "post about their reaction as they step off the bus" and then we'd go right into a neat tour of the lodge. However, I failed to make that clear as to what I thought might work for a start, so that is my bad. And in retrospect, it's probably better that things are happening this way so far, since this is a lot more interesting than just "all these guys step off of a bus." And, as pointed out, it'd be weird to have all the characters on a bus and not at least have someone attempt to talk to the others during the trip.

It's possible that the crashed ship might become useful later on, either as a ship for the team once it is repaired, or for spare parts (either for the lodgers, or for somebody else who comes along and notices it).

Now, I'm glad the idea of a Discord chat has been mentioned, because after trying Discord, I'm extremely happy with it and have pretty much ditched Skype entirely; I've been using Discord for several months now, well before my arrival at RPG. I suppose if the majority of the group really wanted to, we could have a Skype group, but Discord is just so much easier to use, and if you don't want to sign up for it, you can always log in via the browser-based site, and that should work pretty well.

So, my question is: do we, as a group, want a Discord group for this RP? If we do, I will set one up for it. I might still be willing to set it up even if we can't get everyone into it, though we'd just have to be careful not to leave anyone out of any important OOC conversations, which is what the OOC thread could handle. I am willing to go for it, I'm usually logged into Discord on my phone or computer depending on where I am, and am fairly easy to reach that way for questions, comments, or concerns.

At this time, the only person I believe hasn't posted is @duskshine749, so I'm going to give another day or so before I post IC again. I'm not too worried about people posting very quickly at this juncture, though I am impressed that we've gotten the majority of the group to post IC when it's only been a few days as of yet. I'm still getting used to the RPG way of how things are done, and don't expect us to have to go extremely quickly even once we get up to speed, so try not to feel any pressure at having to rush and make a post. Once we get into the swing of things, I might get concerned if we don't hear from someone IC or OOC for a week, just as an example, but we are a new group starting together, so it'll take time for us to get used to each other and our pacing.

Great posts so far, I like the way this is going!

@Raijinslayer just posted an intro post, but doesn't have a CS in the Characters tab. @duskshine749 has a CS in the Characters​ tab, but no intro post. Little confused here. There are only five people in the Characters, so is Raijin the sixth?

I'm ok with a Discord, but roleplayerguild already has a Discord we can use. Link at the very top of the page.
