[OOC] You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

[freedomliveson]

Hehehehe. From here on out, I'm assuming most, if not ALL of our posts, are going to have characters exclaiming, shouting or screaming in one capacity or another. Yessssssssssssss xD

Aw, Yerbol jealous. I'm sure it'll come up somehow, seeing as the bond between them is only getting stronger.

[The Elvenqueen]

There's going to be a loooot of shouting, I bet hahaha

Daddy is not impressed, not in the slightest XD

[The Elvenqueen]

So in terms of our next course of action, how do we want to play this?

Do we want them to run into Matt before finding their hideout spot (perhaps on their quest to locate said Wild Space maps?) or afterwards?
And how plausible would it be for there to BE maps of Wild Space stashed away somewhere? (maybe Revan hid some, somewhere, idk? XD)

[freedomliveson]

Right, so I think what'll happen is Ed will help sneak Matt off Tattoine. That way Ari and Yerbol don't have to go to Tattoine and risk being exposed AGAIN xD

Wild space...would it be plausible for Roan to have gotten a very loose outline of a star map while he was "tying up loose ends"? It doesn't have to be a complete one, but maybe he thought it would be beneficial to raid some of the archives while he was on Korriban and found a very old map with fragments coordinates? If they had that, Neta could then get them to Wild Space.

OR

Yerbol and Ari already traveled to Wild Space once. Who's to say that they couldn't input the coordinates from their journey there previously? That would assume of course that they could remember them xD

[The Elvenqueen]

Ah, good thinking Ed! Sounds good! XD

Oohh, that first option sounds like it could work. After all, they just need a general idea of what kind of planets and stuff are around there :P Let's go with that and see how it pans out then ;)

[freedomliveson]

Sounds good!

[freedomliveson]

Left you some wiggle room for Ari to talk to Roan if need be. Feel free to skip to Wild Space in next post if desired :)

[The Elvenqueen]

Oh gosh, poor Janika. She's lucky Yerbol intervened in time if that was the case pahaha

Post incoming shortly, didn't want to dump them on a planet since I figured they should evaluate which one would be best to go to first and such, but posted in the characters tab some brainstorming ideas I had for general biomes and possible landmarks for a couple planets they might be able to use as bases or otherwise resource-points. Feel free to elaborate further and I can edit the character tab post to add to it (:

And of course also pick somewhere to send them to explore in your next post to keep them moving onward ;) Being an alchemist, Roan is of course quite eager to get a closer look at those crystal formations (*cough* they might be useful for making lightsabers *cough cough* XD)

[freedomliveson]

Haha! I think it'll be fun to see how the kids develop alongside Yerbol and Aria, who are ALSO growing in their own right.

Fair enough! I'll try to come up with names and elaborate a bit on planet lore/history :)

Sure! I'll take care of that tomorrow. Have a great night!

[The Elvenqueen]

It certainly will be, I'm looking forward to it haha

Awesome, you too! ;)

[freedomliveson]

So I'm reviewing a TON of essays(it's finals time around here, so kids are more stressed than normal), which means I might not get around to posting today. If I can, it'll be later in the evening for you, but if not, I'll defo get you one tomorrow.

Semester is almost over for us, so I'm barely hanging on xD

Speaking of something positive, did you get that work experience position? Or was it a position? I'm confused at how you British people talk about jobs :p

[The Elvenqueen]

Ahaha no worries, I understand! :P Good luck getting through them all (at least it's nearly over eh? haha)

Nah, I ended up not getting it in the end which is a shame D: buuuut nevermind, I'll get something eventually and for now I'll just keep on doing what I'm doing, cause it gives me a good 'reference' for future interviews even if it's not what I REALLY want to be doing XD

Once my driving license application goes through (which it hopefully actually WILL this time lol) that will help as well cause it'll open up a bunch more options when I don't have to rely on bus routes to be able to get there and back XD

[freedomliveson]

I appreciate the well wishes! The kids are awesome, but going through their papers can be mind numbing at the very least xD

That's the spirit! There have been so many jobs I got passed on, but the one I ended up getting was normally exactly what I was looking for(which, funny enough, is how I got to the position I'm at now!)

Oh man, I hear that. I used to live in New York City, so bus routes were a familiar source of contention. I also hear that the U.K. driving test is SUPER hard. Is that the case?

[The Elvenqueen]

haha I can imagine, my dad teaches as well and he says it's THE most boring and monotonous part of the job :P I can quite believe it too, having to read like 20-30+ copies of the exact same thing over and over again and mark it O_O

Yeah, way I see it is I'll find the right one eventually and if it's meant to happen it'll happen so I'll just keep on going and see where I end up ;) XD

I hope not! O_O I haven't done any actual driving yet (you have to pass a written test before they even let you behind a wheel here which is I suppose sensible lol) so I've been reading all the books for that and some of the rules are so contradictory as well "You're not allowed to do this or that because it's dangerous" on one page and then a few pages later it's like "but you can do this or that if you REALLY have to, or in an emergency" and it's a bit like....well which one is it then? Can I or can't I? pahaha

[freedomliveson]

Yeeaahhh, I've graded 400 essays with another 120 incoming. yaaaaaay 0_0

But see, I love my job, you know? It makes the grading worth the trouble...most of the time :p

HA! Yeah, driving is strange. Here is no different. We learn a ton of rules, are told specifically to follow them and then...well, no one listens to them. Well, scratch that, MOST people listen in other states. In the great state of Texas(where I reside at the moment), driving laws are more "loose guidelines" than actual hard and fast laws.

[The Elvenqueen]

Eeeeek, good luck! O_O

Aww well that's the important part, at least you can enjoy it enough that it doesn't make the boring parts completely unbearable ;)

I'm going to get sooo confused, I dread the day I actually have to drive a car for the first time, I'm not sure I'll know what to do with it XD (Thank goodness my dad will have to come with me to 'supervise', he can at least hopefully stop me getting TOO confused lol)

[freedomliveson]

Dads have a wonderful ability to help with driving...I think it's a superpower xD

Hey, so what are you doing right now, work wise? You mentioned you had a position now? Or...well, you know what I mean :p

[The Elvenqueen]

I'm in a volunteering position right now (so it's unfortunately unpaid, but it's still 'working' and I get a reference for it and it means I have some retail training at least XD) but it's retail, so I work in a shop and work the till and take people's money so they can buy stuff XD

[freedomliveson]

Ah, gotcha. Well, that helps a lot, you're right! Bless your heart for working in retail xD

Also, feel free to direct the post in whatever direction. I don't mind going for either planet

[The Elvenqueen]

It does get...challenging, sometimes XD I've had customers get angry and call me rude for no reason whatsoever before and you just have to be like "yeah, okay I apologise" even if they're being unreasonable as anything o.o

Awesome. Hmmm...Yerbol raises a good point about it being difficult to get to, actually o:
