[OOC] Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

[Dinh AaronMk]

I think I was ready to say we could recall the Olympics due to international tension with the Spanish invasion of Africa. Though it isn't a full blown world-war we could use it as a way to sweep it away under the rug and lampshade it's not-happening.

Switzerland would have probably been nuked for winter since the whole incident with Germany and friends, which probably came up too late to safely call a replacement.

But if we still want to do it then fine by me. I already loosely had a general idea of what I wanted to do for it (which involved Hou's less-important brother). We would just need Veoline back for him to set it up.

I got to post something. It has been ages since I haven't posted...

[Dinh AaronMk]

@The Grey Warden

I'd post, but I got the weight of end-of-semester on me.

And I can't even finish one really until I get back to the campus tomorrow. I also could have done the review for my math final, but fuck that: I didn't. Maybe I'll pull it off last minute tomorrow before I leave.

[Dinh AaronMk]

Something of interesting note Evan shared over FB.

EDIT - Also meanwhile in China.

Find the fire again, for the sake of PoW.

@Dinh AaronMk

I did. A post is coming along now.

If there is any way I can pick up the slack, let me know. I'd be cool with knocking out a few rough drafts for you to work over in to posts.

@vilageidiotx

I really appreciate that, vilage. But I would feel - guilty? I suppose - if I ever let someone else take up my slack, especially in something like a post. And waiting around for me to get around to posting is not going to work. To that end, I've decided to set aside about an hour to 90 minutes a day getting posts and drafts together. College apparently taught me nothing and I'm as bad of a procrastinator now as ever, but I'm hoping this helps me get posts out faster and more regularly. Even so...

thank u, lub u

I had a dream and in it Googer was on horseback heading through a mountain pass and it was snowing something fierce. And he had his blanket wrapped around him and his head down and when he rode past I seen he was carryin' fire in a horn the way people used to do and I could see the horn from the light inside of it. 'Bout the color of the moon. And in the dream I knew that he was going on ahead and he was fixing to make a fire somewhere out there in all that dark and all that cold, and I knew that whenever I got there he would be there. And then I woke up...

@gorgenmast

That's cool. Even then, though, I do plan (with your consent) to take up a Spanish character for my own devices, but if you end up needing that character to cover any ground you need covered, just say something. The plan is for this character to be an ordinary soldier somewhere in Ethiopia proper.

When for one's final project in web-design you throw fuck all at the wind and do one up for Sahle. Specifically for his blues and jazz band adventures. Though if you want to do anyone else related in the story arch then be my guest: I only get to do more bio shit.

If you can be a bro I could go with having short blurby bios for the band at least. Something I can copy pasta in with little to no effort before I choke the rest of the length requirement with copy-pasta'd posts. I need content: but it doesn't have to be anything written by myself.

[Vilageidiotx]

Ok. Well, Sahle/Samel you know, so I'll just toss some basic shit out for the rest of them for you to work with since I don't know exactly what you need.

Yared: Born in Ethiopia, Yared learned to play the Krar - a lyre-type instrument - at a young age. When he discovered the American jazz jam-bands that had came over after the North American War, he began to sit in on the sessions and learned the art. He met an Ethiopian Cornet player named Marc and together they decided to try and tour Europe. On their way north, they ran across a man in the desert named Samel, who seemed to be a natural at the drums. They went and plied their trade in Cairo, before eventually arriving in Sevan.

Marc: Marc was an Ethiopian who took a liking to the western Cornet horn, and he joined Yared on a journey toward Europe. Marc doesn't talk much and mostly stays in the background mostly enjoying himself.

Aaliyah: Aaliyah worked as a dancing girl in a club in Cairo, where she met the band and became their singer. An accident in Cairo left her without an eye, but she has replaced this slight to her beauty with a painted clay mask that she wears over half of her face.

Err.. i don't know if that does it, but fill in the blanks and you should be good.

Last night at work I had an invoice for a package being sent to "Dixon Oil". So, you know, I guess Senator Dixon likes organic soap.

[Byrd Man]

I googled Dixon Oil and came up with a Dixon Heating Oil & Propane. Oh, god. Now I'll keep imagining Dixon as Hank Hill from here on out. "We got to annex the NWC, I tell you hwhat."

You know what, I might be able to post early.

This finals week is going to be the easiest I ever have. Both my Economics and English classes' finals are all essays. My English final is a take home essay and I am almost done with it. And I getting information about my final essay on Monday in Economics, so I might be able to do it by Wednesday.

Which means that I am all set for finals week.
