[OOC] The Sunday Group

[POOHEAD189]

I'll be home tomorrow. The beach has been fun and I'm fortunate I have a house to myself and a (somewhat shitty) laptop to use. But I'll be happy to get back home, as well. Might not be too active tomorrow though, because of the plane flight. I've had 9 ear surgeries and let's just say my ears don't do well with extreme changes in pressure :P Might be pretty dizzy

Was studying up on shamanism and tikis again, and I found this: Pounamu

Essentially it's the sacred stone of New Zealand and considers extremely precious to the native people. The things you make out of this stuff are believed to gain what they call mana every time they are passed on. Their concept of mana is essentially a sign of authority. You either inherit the object which has a lot of mana or you earn that object through warfare. This way you have the ability to gain that status through the object.

I now really wish I knew about this stuff sooner. This would be sooooo perfect for Leon. I'd so give him some cool pounamu equipment.

[POOHEAD189]

Now that is quite neat.

I've just finished moving for the second time in two weeks. Great posts guys!

[POOHEAD189]

Ugh, moving twice so soon must suck. I've had to move many times the past few years. Got so tired of it.

[jasonwolf]

@PennyIt's not quite as big as moving house, but I've worked a summer camp where they moved us between cabins every once in a while. Being as you live at the camp for four months straight I wasn't packed too lightly. This camp was also built onto a hill Literally things are on stilts to keep them level. So yeah I feel the pain of having to pack up and move everything frequently.

New IC will be up tomorrow night

[ihinka]

@jasonwolfHe could learn about the pounamu in the course of the RP though It's not like we stop learning once we become adults.

[jasonwolf]

@ihinka Yeah I'll work it in really subtly.

*right as the meeting starts his phone goes off*

"Yes this is Leon... The master was murdered? I'll be right there."

*stands up from table*

"I'm sorry everyone I need to go to New Zealand to avenge the death of my totem mentor."

*pulls out teleportation totem that he totally has and vanished*

But seriously I think it could be a great link back to how he learned his shaman skills, and possibly show his full potential if he were to become a full fledged shaman instead of the "totem hunter" that he calls himself.

[ihinka]

@jasonwolfWait... Wouldn't you have placed totems to disallow teleportation within or without the offices of the Group *shock*

[jasonwolf]

@ihinka They're my totems they're my rules! Smokebomb totem!

[ihinka]

Who do we reckon is the newest in the group? I don't mind it being Malone.

[FantasyChic]

Honestly, if not Malone then definitely Kennedy.

[FantasyChic]

Honestly, when I made her I had the intention in mind that she would be the newest member. Thus why she got the invite to join to discover the truth.

[FantasyChic]

Plus it allows for character growth since she doesn't have anything "supernatural" or "different" about her, thus she could grow and discover new things she could do.

[POOHEAD189]

Yeah I was gonna say. Chic has that in mind from the start.

[POOHEAD189]

Also, I am back from my trip! Which means more and longer posts!

[ihinka]

I'm fine with that I asked because I was swirling ideas around my mind for my next post and the question popped up.

[FantasyChic]

I imagine she hasn't been there for long. Maybe a month at the most? Familiar enough to know the routine but not enough to have a solid foothold in the team just yet.

[ihinka]

I was figuring Malone to be relatively new addition as well... Perhaps a couple of months before Kennedy.
