Okay I think that should about do it for your part of the prologue! I'd rather end it here, on a kind of cliffhanger, but if you guys absolutely feel like you can add to this, feel free. Otherwise the next time we pick up your characters will be when you arrive in Cero city. That'll be the start of Chapter 1, which will include everyone's characters. I'll start that one up as soon as we finish the other parts of the prologue, which shouldn't be much longer now!

Might do a postfor Viveca's spying. Thanks for including her :D I'm deciding how she's going to approach the situation - she's not fond of Galahad if I'm remembering characters correctly.

I'm gonna be totally honest. I haven't read a thing in 2 months. Between IC and OOC there's 127 messages I have not read, just waiting for someone to message me specifically. However! I'm ready to go on towards adventure!!

News. I'm deploying next week. It's supposed to be really short and pretty wasteful. But these things change quickly and often, you know the drill :) once I'm gone, I can't post till I'm back.

Incidentally, as I'm writing this here post. If we don't understand the concept of fire/flames, where does the phrase 'open fire' come from? Lol

@vietmyke@The Angry Goat Open fire comes from guns, and the flame that spurts from their mouth. Without fire, guns would be ineffective...so it kinda makes you wonder what they're using instead of gunpowder to start with.

Open shooty is hilarious and somewhere I have something similar but I can't find it. Ah well.

However, given that we are modern people in our world, with modern word usage, I suspect we are going to be using "fire" as a term for shooting. Or we could just say "shoot" (not "open shooty", mind, but similar idea). The fun question is if perhaps people wouldn't hold on to the "loose!" command from bow and arrow or sling.

Awesome post, @vietmyke! Appreciate the use of the included soundtrack. Might have to steal that idea for my own posts now. :p

Also...

I believe that Love mentioned that guns are powered by ether batteries? White ether, but that's what they'd be using instead of gunpowder. As for the usage of the word 'fire'... maybe it began as an intimidation tactic? Fire is a forgotten myth to these people, but they've been fighting one another for centuries. If the first people to make guns said that it gave them power over fire or something, wouldn't it kinda scare the bejeezus out of their enemies? And it's just stuck around since?

@CollectorOfMyst That's a rad idea! It could also be that in the weird fantasy language they're speaking "firing" as if from a rifle has a different word than "fire" the element.

Also, will try to have that Rodion post up tonight or tomorrow!
