[OOC] The Pickers

[beyond visions]

@Bourgeoisie Oh yeah! Duh, how couldn't I think of that? Haha.

[Bourgeoisie]

@beyond visions
I'm sorry, but are you being sarcastic or... (I actually can't tell, I'm sorry)

[beyond visions]

@Bourgeoisie Yeah, nah, sarcasm does not come natural to me.

[Bourgeoisie]

@beyond visions
oh, ok.

@R31GN
You think you could post anytime soon?

[Evil Snowman]

So how is everyone?

[Bourgeoisie]

Tired.

[beyond visions]

Alright so, the reason why I have not recently posted is not only because life's been hectic, but I've been trying to make plans for the lieutenant. Well, since those who reserved the lieutenant unfortunately can't make it. So, I was thinking of throwing the characters a curve ball with an attack on the ship, missiles will be fired at the Excursionist destroying both the lieutenant's room and the lieutenant himself. The characters will most likely have to evacuate out of space pods, transporting them to the Nomad.

There will be three space pods, one meant for the captain, pilot, and lieutenant, the convicts were never promised an escape when the Council created the Picker ships. But thankfully, the pods were built wide enough for officials of all sizes and species so there will be two groups of three into two pods, and one group of two in the last pod. The pods will be all set to target the Nomad by the main system console, but the pods will all crash in different locations.

I think this makes things so much more intriguing and interactive as the characters now do indeed have a choice, where as Aksel was forcing them. From there, they can try to regroup, refuse, or even find alliances with the Council to turn the Captain in.

How's this for a plan?

[Evil Snowman]

Sounds pretty good. Also as anyone heard anything form @Oxenfree. I know it the end of schooling terms or years, so he/she might be busy. But just thought I'd ask as I'm waiting on him/her to post.

Hey all, sorry for the lack of posting. I've been trying to find some free time, but with work and other various activities happening IRL, I haven't had much time, and it might be a bit before I do again. I'll try to get something up, but I won't have time for anything quality until Sunday at the earliest. (On a happier note, Civil War is great. 5/7, perfect score. Tell your friends.)

[Oxenfree]

That sounds good to me. Sorry I've been gone, finals hit me like a sack of bricks.

I'd say, if the plan is to go in a whole new direction, just carry on without me until the attack happens - I'll still be a bit busy for a day or two, so there's no point in waiting for me to talk about a plan that's going to be moot shortly.

[Evil Snowman]

@Oxenfree Okay. If @beyond visions has no objection Grick can stay with Nine until you post.

Being said I'll look at getting a post up today or tomorrow, sadly being a weekend and mothers day none this weekend is pretty busy with work and family.

[beyond visions]

Hey, I'm happy you guys are hanging in :)
I'm going to upload a post tonight. But I am going to go ahead and announce the space pod pairings:
Pod 1- Cu and Aksel
Pod 2- Nine, Grick, and Pax
Pod 3- Riggs, Ven, and Z

[Bourgeoisie]

I'm down with it.

[jel2658]

I am going to wait for someone else to post before I make my own post.

[Evil Snowman]

@jel2658 got ya covered.

[beyond visions]

Pumped for that fortieth post. Proud of you guys :)

[Bourgeoisie]

Number 40.

[beyond visions]

I think it is best for me to wait for the majority of people to post if they can, before I do.

Once again sorry I'm being like totally dead, I am still semi-alive I promise, I just have a bunch of deadlines and been trying to find somewhere to live for the summer, that and I have a new boyfriend who is taking up like 90% of my free time. Deadlines (and house hunting god-willing) finished by next week so hopefully normal service will return then, will try to get up a post before that however.
