[OOC] Beyond a Fire's Embers

[Genkai]

Heyo, I'm here for the day which I hope means studying + roleplaying. :3

How was your Sunday? Good?

[mmidnight]

Yaay!

And yeah, it was pretty good. I gave my mom her stuff and then we went out for brunch. How was yours?

[Genkai]

I'm halfway done with my group post (finally) but it's mostly cause this guy gave 2 paragraphs while me and everyone else gave like 7+ and so hey, I don't have a lot to work with but if he keeps giving everyone crap while we're all making an effort, I'll have a word. (This next post of his will decide if I give him a pass for that one terrible intro or if I need to point out the obvious and ask him to step up or step out which sucks cause I've been working on this group for years.) Ahem. Anyway!

I'm glad you two had a good time. Brunch is amazing. :3 We all headed in for the Giants game, it was alright...I don't like baseball much but my mom had a good time and that's what mattered.

[mmidnight]

Did you include a posting expectation before he joined? If he's not keeping up with that then I'd say talk to him about it before asking him to leave.

That's good. I'm not one for baseball either, but I'm glad you're mom had a nice time!

[Genkai]

I did yeah, which is why his post was so unexpected. He even controlled my character in his post when mine hadn't alluded at all to ours even having an interaction (which I can let slide but would have preferred if he told/asked) but it wasn't even notable, like...his guy left the group and mine had to text him or something. Why leave the group at all? I dunno it was just weird and I'm hoping his next post is kind of what everyone else is doing, maybe just first post jitters. ^^;

Yep, she loves her Giants. I gave her a nice card and had a good day together with only minimal arguing. I will be making dinner tonight, but since I just finished my group post and my other 1x1 doesn't look like it'll take me long, I should be able to start on our post soon~

[mmidnight]

Weird loner characters have no place in a group RP. Just let him sit by himself until he drops because it's not your responsibility or other players to give him interaction if he's literally just walking away.

Sounds good.

[Genkai]

He had a lot of issues with him, I had to talk to with the other co-GMs so we were on the fence already. Hopefully it pans out.

You got any plans for the Monday or just happy to chill? L3

[mmidnight]

I just don't understand people who join a group RP and then move their character out to BFE and expect others to chase after them or just hand them interaction.

No, not really. There's a long ass tornado watch all day, so I'm staying close to home. How about you?

[Genkai]

I even made a long paragraph saying loners or people with baggage wouldn't fly. Guess what kind of apps we got? XD *shakes head* I never see the fun in playing with them or as them...

Oh really?! Yesh...yes, stay home, make tea and stay online. That's the safest bet. And me? Just studying and posting, giving The West Wing a rewatch while I'm at it. (Aaaaand now I can write for us~)

[mmidnight]

Me either.

That's pretty much what I'm doing, haha. I did the little bit of running around I had to do earlier and then I got home and my phone was like, TORNADO WATCH ALL DAY and I was like, welp I: but it's really warm here and it's been raining the past few days. I figured we'd get some storms. Luckily we're not like in the south where really bad tornadoes happen.

[Genkai]

I'm sure the news is being cautious which is better than not. And yesssss, a warm home is pretty awesome when it's raining. At least you weren't out in anything too bad and got back in a timely manner. I'd hate to have to send a search party out for you!

[mmidnight]

It's going to be like that flying cow in Twister, tbh.

[Genkai]

Maybe that'll be a fun time?

[mmidnight]

Maybe. I always think of that "I Survived" show and that one episode with the guy who was out for a run and a tornado popped up out of nowhere and he hung onto a tree the whole time and ended up with his lower body all broken.

[Genkai]

Those are good shows, usually inspiring but also a bit cringe worthy. :/

I think I remember seeing the last bit of that but never the first. Dang, that's a pretty crazy ordeal. Was the guy "okay" or anything long lasting happen to him?

(btws, halfway done~)

[mmidnight]

No, I think he was fine after healing. I think his pelvis and both legs were broken but he lived, obv.

Also, I made a list in characters. I can't remember which district Iva and Yelven were from. Do you? I also feel like we should name some of these tributes just so we have something to say when they die other than "the girl/boy from X"

[Genkai]

That's good then, some people in those get pretty damaged...makes my heart ache.

Yelven is M from D4, age 14. And Iva is F from D5 and age 13. And possible random names suggested below, feel free to ignore shit suggestions if need be lol

Names?

Allie
Tether
Josten
Clyde
June
Golden
Hyve
Dwine
Colin
Ember
Xae
Mauve
Quinton

[mmidnight]

Yeah, they do :c It's sad.

And thanks. I couldn't remember and I didn't know which page they would have been on. I'll do some filling in after I get this other post done. They don't have to know everyone but some of those districts are all unnamed and it's bumming me out.

[Genkai]

I understand, don't worry. If you need me to help pitch names I can.

I didn't skip in my post, I thought one more wouldn't hurt but if you felt like skipping in yours, that's fine as well. We do have morning stuff to do with Prim and Peeta and Gale and Gale's token.

I'm thinking falcon, do you think that's alright?

[mmidnight]

Thanks. I'll probably take the names that you listed already and fill them in around districts 9 and 10.

I'll see how it feels. I wasn't planning on skipping but if I find a natural end for their nights then I'll wrap things up. We do have last minute things with Peeta, Gale and Prim but I imagine after breakfast, they're going to be largely on their own until they meet up in the arena and even then, they're not going to be a group of four. Did you plan on messing with Cinna before Katniss goes up to the arena?

And yes! I think that's perfect for him.
