but he's sap-tastic! I like the detail of him finding his dad's hunting knife, too.
And it's always good to play characters that push you outside of yourself (I think). Besides, I'm sure they represent something about yourself or you would have never made a character like them...maybe.

Posted Alex and Summer's side of the story now. I get Alex more than Summer so I focused on him.

yupp, saw it! I know I won't get to replying to you until early last week. How long are you thinking about having them stranded on the boat? What type of tools are offered in the rafts? Like blankets, a toilet, or food or something like that?

Do you mean next weak or is that some kind of saying that I don't get.

Ideally speaking they would land off the coast of the nearest land as determined by some kind of machine so in theory they should be pretty close. Somewhere in old world Houston is what I'm thinking that way by they're still above water because of the sea level rising, but close enough to land. If they were to somehow fall off the raft and dive deep enough they'll probably see tall buildings and skyscrapers of some kind, maybe. Anyway using that logic we can have them on the boat for a day or two.

Two days should be enough for them to last since they have metal canteens with drinking water in them, and packed processed food bard which should last them a good few days.

As for tools they'll have oars which will be located on the sides of the raft, they can use the pods to sleep in if they wish, but they have thermal sleeping bag with a pillow which they can use and the space blanket both of which are n their bag. As for food they have the food/energy bars packed with protein and nutrients that is both filling and tasty, it's kind of like space food, but in bar form which they can eat in bar form or cook it allowing it to expand. They can use anything they can find or anything their bag (I'll edit that now so I can provide more details) to find food in their own.

As for finding food they won't find any fish in the sea nor will they find birds. The reason for this is that modern fish and flying birds are delicate types of species that required decades of stable environments for them to grow and in a post apocalyptic setting that doesn't happen. The team can still find avian species and sea creatures of course, but the birds probably wont be able to fly and the sea creatures are more likely to be crustaceans and deep sea fishes than actual fish.

Anyway you can add any sort of equipment on the boat as long as you run it by me first just in case it's impossible in the setting we have.

Nope. I totally meant next week. Not last. Whoops.

Okay, thanks for the low down. Also, before I plow a head, what time of day is it/season? I'm assuming late summer/early morning right now...but I rather not us both end up writing totally different settings for what they'll end up in. That'd be down right awkward.

Yes it's early morning, but as for the season I haven't really thought about it yet. We can go with any season as long as it isn't winter since being in the middle of the ocean during winter nights will give our characters hypothermia and kill them. So yeah go ahead with summer if you want to.

As for the fog that's surrounding the raft we can keep it up indefinitely or lift it up later on when they start moving. Fog usually is limited to the mornings of cooler months so I'd say we can lift the fog in the afternoon.

I've also edited the front page to include an updated and more detailed equipment list.

Okay. I'll go with late summer for no hypothermia and early morning time. A question on the weather--will it be cooler or hotter or the same as it is in Texas now?

The weather is relatively the same as normal current texas in terms of how hot and cold it would get. The biggest difference would be the amount of rainfall and precipitation. From my understanding of meteorology if there's more water in the are the higher the chances of rain and since there's an increase in sea level and rivers in the area I think it only goes to show that there would be more rain. Anyway for a swamp biome to exist there needs to be a lot of rainwater. In conclusion same as good ol' Texas, but wetter.

I really should have put this in the setting area. I'll get to that soon.

I just realized that by stating the above the environment outside of the swamp regions will not be desert like it is in current Texas, but more field and mountain like.

I hope you had fun. Am I right in assuming that you know a lot about doing survival stuff because you actually do camp? If so then that's so cool because I have no exp whatsoever when it comes to that kind of stuff, which is really sad.

Ir's cool since I pretty much can't post on weekends I wouldn't have been able to reply to you anyway. Thank you for the patience as well when I'm late.

By the way I've just realized that the big reveal will be up soon and doing the whole thing via post will be very time consuming and not as fun as it could be so I was wondering if you'd like to do a collab post. If we use something like Titanpad or Google docs we can make short posts each that can account for dialog and such, plus it would be more fun. We'd have to schedule the whole thing of course, but I'd love to do it.

Collab post sounds fun (plus I'm excited to know what you've been hiding from meeeeee). Would this collab post be the next post (as in after I put up my character's responses we'll work on the collab together)? I have an account on titanpad, so that'll work, just send me the link so I can join the pad.

And I'm not really an expert or anything when it comes to camping (I camp at State Parks that have bathhouses and the like), but I'm familiar enough. But with the details you've been providing (the gear) you've been doing really good at making sure that it appears accurate. So no worries :) Plus, google will fill in any gaps.

We should do the collab once everyone's gotten together.

EDIT: SO yes once we have them all together we should do a collab post. I'm free all this week and can be online at almost any time of the day. I live in California so we use the Pacific standard time if that helps with scheduling.

Meh. Not totally pleased, but I don't know what came over me with that Deepti/Simon interaction. Just felt like it needed to happen. Or at least, I just needed to write something completely sappy.

And Maybaleen. Man. I kinda keel bad for Summer because she just brings out Maybaleen's sassy-pants.

Enjoy and send the titanpad link whenever you get around to creating it (I'm "Raiding Ships" over there if that helps with something too. I'm still figuring that site out). As for timing when we'll both be online...well, we'll work through it.

Hmm I think Thursday I can make it. I'll work on a solo post tomorrow and finalize some of my other RP's right now so I'm juggling two group RP's one of which might become a 1x1, but I'll be working three characters there so who knows. So yeah...THURSDAY
