Well, it might seem to be apparent from the post, but yes that is Nightmare, Soulfire, and The Cannibal King, breaking Elaine out.

@Raptorman

:D

The Nightmare arc and the D-Day invasions were what really cemented my desire to join this RP. Everything was amazing, of course, but those two arcs stood out in my mind.

[Athinar]

Also, got an Equilibrium post out. Just thought I'd get out one last "real talk" post before Trent takes off.

[VATROU]

Welp there goes my excuse for being lazy. I'll work on the post tonight FacePunch. If I'm not too lazy it should be out as well. Glad Flu Master got a few minutes of fame.. It's Snot his year would be more accurate to say.

No (well...I have been looking at the old CaH RPG threads on Hype, just not the casting one). I just remember that there was an image of Bruce Willis in his character sheet. While apparently the image is not there anymore, it still says "Bruce Willis" when you hover over where the image use to be.

Edit: At least we image our two different "Samanthas" differently or things could get really confusing really fast.

@Dedonus

Just going back over old OOC stuff and I thought I'd bring up this interesting little tidbit...

Not only was Anderson suggestively cast as Bruce Willis, but pretty early on in my stuff I'd been working off the basis that Vigilante was an ersatz-Australian/Pacific region version of Bruce Willis... Some of the dialogue hinted towards it, and I was working off him being the guy in the wrong place at the wrong time (my first post was just after stepping off the plane in Lost Haven whilst an alien invasion was taking place...).

To add to that, one season effectively closed with our two Bruce Willises meeting. Vigilante infiltrating S.T.R.I.K.E Headquarters dropping from the air-ducts, much akin to Die Hard and the pair standing off in a Mexican Standoff type situation with a third character (yet to be introduced).

Yippee-kay-ay!

[Hound55]

Many a Bruce Willis was shot on that day...

@Athinar

@Raptorman can definitely write, that's for sure.

For those who were not involved in the little meeting held by Iron Knight, the device that will give people super powers has not been found yet. ;)

@Hound55

I've actually gotten lost in the OP while looking for information over the world itself. Also, last I checked, I noted it still needs that update summary over the even and well technically a timeline might help. Then again I've been on a organizing and world building kick since I prettied up my Blood Act OP, which I had a few ideas crop in my head for CAH OP. *ponders asking NMS about that but slightly nervous to because she might seem rude*

[Dedonus]

@Nitemare Shape@Kalistar: I hope my post does nto mess up anything either of you two were working on.

Also, I hoped that wasn't too messed up. I tried my best to allude to what they are looking for without explicitly stating it.

[nitemare shape]

@Dedonus nope, shouldn't be an issue.

Ironically, when I was in school I was a cashier at Dick's. And I may or may not have answered the phone once or twice with "Thank you for calling Dick's Sporting Goods, we have all the balls you can play with." Yet, somehow didn't get fired

@nitemare shape

I would have made that my go to line.. Did your Boss erect a cake when you left? Hope it wasn't hard on them.. I'll stop now.

@nitemare shape

Obviously they didn't complain.

Also, for those who want (or did not want) to know, I am using this map for the Crossgates Mall (which is a real location). I'll put it in my IC post.

[VATROU]

Need to stop using the word "as"

Anyways more tentacled fun times.. YAY!! Girls, tentacles.. I think we all know what's coming next?? Oh wait it already did.. Oh snap.

Origin Info/Details:

Executive Branch Backstory - Courtesy of Byrd Man

In 1776, the Second Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence and went to war with Great Britain. In early 1777 General George Washington met with John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, representatives of the Continental Congress, in Philadelphia. With Jefferson was a man from France. The young Gilbert du Motier, known as the Marquis de Lafayette, was a prominent French military office even at his very young age. With Washington was Prussian Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben. Both men spoke to the three revolutionaries about an old and powerful society known as the Timekeepers. Made up of the elite thinkers, noblemen, and politicians, the Timekeepers acted as metronome for the entire world, responsible for maintaining the rhythm and natural order of things. It was the Timekeepers that declared that the time of British hegemony in the Americas would begin to end. The colonies would win the war, Lafayette and von Steuben would help them.

In a ceremony in Philadelphia Washington, Adams, and Jefferson were inducted into the Timekeepers order and shown their secrets. The ancient society possessed powerful artifacts of supernatural nature and had access to magic. Using the Timekeepers' tools, the Colonies defeated England and declared their independence. In 1787 Washington was elected president of the United States, Adams his vice-president, and Jefferson appointed secretary of state. As part of the Timekeepers, all three men had been made immortal and given a serum that gave them special abilities. All three faked their deaths at appropriate times and went into hiding in Europe in the early 1800's.

In 1830 the three men discovered the Timekeepers' long and winding plot that would see the United States expand all the way to the Pacific ocean, and then shatter into two separate nations after a long and bloody civil war. The three founding fathers could not bear to see the country they founded destroyed. Defying their society, the men fled Europe and returned to US. They used whatever means they could to stop and delay civil war, influencing politics from the shadows. In 1860 they used their hidden influence to elect a man who would keep the Union together: Abraham Lincoln. They revealed themselves to him and covertly worked with Lincoln throughout the war. The Timekeepers discovered the founding father's treachery and turned on them. Unable to stop the Union from winning the war, they had Lincoln assassinated in revenge. This did not stop the Founders, who used their magic to bring Lincoln back from the grave days after he was killed.

Europe and the powers that controlled it could no longer be trusted. The old world could never govern nor control the new. The four presidents founded the Executive Branch. It served as a clandestine organization that would protect and fight for the United States, her interest, and freedom any place and anywhere. Their ranks are made up of former American presidents and other historical figures, each of them turned immortal in the same way the three founders were. Their long war with the Timekeepers ended after the First World War, when the last remnants of the old and rotten society were swept away in the fiery cataclysm of the war.

Now in 2015, they wage clandestine wars against a variety of threats that include the Secret Soviet Union, the Fourth Reich, and the Roman Republic of Zombies. But something dark and unknown lurks on the outer reaches of the world. A darkness is setting in, and an old power is returning to take control.

Hmm. I'll roll with a different shade of blue. That one will make it more difficult to read by the looks of things.

[VATROU]

How does one follow up to a tentacle joke, roll out JFK clearly.

[Hound55]

John F. Kennedy - the only thing capable of being more invasive to the female form than tentacles.
