[OOC] Beyond a Fire's Embers

[Genkai]

Aw you should get a new keyboard, it makes things look so fresh and new. Windows 7/8 are fine with me too, but each person has different needs eheh.

I don't know if it's on Netflix, I'd have to check but streaming it shouldn't be hard either. It's def a movie that makes me think whenever I see it, ya know about expectations of people compared to your own, etc. I wouldn't know what to recommend, the books I've tried to read of his, just weren't enough to make me want to go past the first chapter. I wish I could get into his stuff though...>_>

[mmidnight]

I don't know if I can. I might just have to buy replacement letters or get one of those silicone covers with the letters on them. It's not like I don't know where any of the letters are, but this laptop is barely over a year old and it's already got such a sad keyboard, haha.

I'll check it out then c: Something to watch after I finish that new Wet Hot American Summer show--which isn't as funny as the movie at all. Oh, jeez, haha. I figured there was one you could recommend. My mom really used to like his stuff but she said he got boring and then he was writing about vampires for a while and it just wasn't her thing.

[Genkai]

Only a year old? Darn...well I hope you figure something out...but at least you know where the keys are already eheh.

Wish I could help. I'd suspect his earlier works would be easier to read. Even some of his movies are a bit hard to watch for me. I guess I can stick to Poe which is like an older version, somewhat. ^^;

[mmidnight]

Everything else about it is fine, but I do so much typing so I'm not surprised a lot of the letters are already worn away. The space bar was textured originally, but there's a smooth spot in the middle of it now where my thumb always hits it.

I like his movies. Misery is one of my favorites and The Shining is probably my favorite horror movie on aesthetics alone. I also like that one movie where everyone is trapped in the airport and it's like another dimension or something. I can never remember the name but it's pretty good.

[Genkai]

Yeah, constant typing does wear out a keyboard, mine lasted about 2-3 years before it showed wear but it was only a few frequent keys. At least it's not a type writer, though those are pretty cool too.

I still need to watch Misery but I've seen many spoofs, it almost feels pointless. -__- Though the one about people trapped in an air point sounds pretty cool.

[mmidnight]

I tend to type pretty hard, so that's something else that probably wears it out faster. I like typewriters, they're so fun to write on although I couldn't imagine using one constantly.

It's good c: Kathy Bates is pretty perfect in it. The airport one starts with an L. I want to call it The Layover, but I know that's not right.

Also, I'm starting on something for you c: Consider me back on my posting schedule.

[Genkai]

I'll look up the name, is it Langoliers? It does start with a "L" and it may be it. XD I know Kathy Bates is in it, which is also a bit reason why I ought to watch it, she hasn't been up to many films lately.

And wonderful, looking forward to it~

[mmidnight]

That's it! It's good, a little different and kind of fucky but it's still got its charm. Yeah, you're right. The last thing I saw her in was AHS. Idk if she's coming back for Hotel but I'm not sure if I'm going to watch it. How about you?

I'm about half done c: I also put little numbers next to deaths on the CS page so I don't end up counting people twice.

[Genkai]

Ohh I see a post~!

And nah, I've given up on AHS. I couldn't put up with Freak Show after the first three episodes.

[mmidnight]

It's there and waiting for you c: Now that I think about it, what if there were two alliances? Like, maybe the careers also had some thin plans to make a break for it? That might be too much, so feel free to nix it.

Freak Show was so disappointing ;c I didn't finish it either and I don't think I can handle Lady Gaga taking Jessica Lange's place this season.

[Genkai]

I don't think they'd have plans...but I'm sure once they get an idea of what is going on, I have no doubt they'd try to make a break for it or try to catch some of the stragglers. If anything, I could believe Snow telling one or two Careers to watch out for Katniss and her sister. Maybe? ^^;

I'm not much into Lady Gaga these days. Even if Lily Rabe comes back, I'm over it. AHS isn't a series I want to see going on and on either, so I hope the boys take the hint. Most shows in fact, shouldn't go on as long as they do IMO. >___>

[mmidnight]

Yeah, I could see that--Snow telling them to go after Katniss and Prim. I could also see them just running when the plan comes to a head though. Like, who wouldn't try to escape if the dome just blew up?

I like her music before Artpop but I really don't like her fans and she's not an actress so I don't know why she's on the show to begin with. I might watch the first episode just to see but I'm not really that interested. I wanted Zachary Quinto to come back but I don't see that ever happening. Shows do go on for too long, tbh.

[Genkai]

I can see anyone left going either way. It's gonna be a crazy time for anyone who is left over. XD

And hello. *waves* I had some calls to make for school today, did some cleaning and other chores, went for a walk with the dogs and did some grocery shopping. But I am home now, probably for next hour...maybe two before I hit the hay. I'm hoping I can get a good portion of the post done. I won't take us to the next day yet, unless you want me to, in which case I'd be happy to edit. ^^ I doubt I'll finish it tonight, I don't wanna rush it but it shall be ready tomorrow fo sho~

EDIT - Got a bit done, it shall be on the top of my list tomorrow when I hop on. Ttyl~!

[mmidnight]

I think we could probably squeeze in some more deaths/happenings before they start to take their sleep shifts? If I'm too late and you've already finished, then I can close off the day for us in my post. Whatever works best for you is fine with me!

[Genkai]

Oh no no, it's not too late, I just got online so I'm able to do some tweaking as I work on finishing it up. ^^

[mmidnight]

Oh, okay! Like I said, whatever you want to do is cool with me.

[Genkai]

I got something up, I hope it's alright. I think it could be fun to have some traps triggered for Prim and Gale, maybe tonight or when they try to leave come morning? I'm sure the game makers could make some appear even though she checked the area. Evil fuckers ya know?

[mmidnight]

I loved it c: Did you want me to have the group of three attack? or did you want me to have Prim suggest that she and Gale leave that night? That might not mean there's anywhere for them to sleep but we could spring some traps on them that way.

[Genkai]

Man, I had a crazy weekend. It's good to be back online though. :3

I think either way could work out well for us. I think we could have the group wait to attack and make their move come sunrise which may give Prim and Gale a very small window to get out without being seen/triggering traps. But as you suggested they could have to leave during the night, I think either way, there could be a lot of tension and danger to play with. If they did leave during the night, would they relocate in the ruins or want to go out into the woods/field area? If they do leave in the middle of the night and don't deal with traps and manage to avoid the group, we could easily introduce some of the icky bugs and stuff XD

[mmidnight]

What happened? :3

I think it depends on how much action we feel like writing. We could have the group of three attack and, at the same time, have Prim and Gale make a run for it. She's not going to feel good about the careers out there, but there's also the issue of sleeping. They have to slow down sometime and I don't think sleeping during the day is a very good idea strategy wise. We could have them leave and relocate to the woods/field for the night but I think they'd have to pass the wetlands?
