My suggestion is pm the GMs with it if you can't get it into the Doc, that way they know you're done and ready.

I just recently whitelisted someone, and Shon and Aweena should have privileges now. That said, sorry for the delay. Would you mind posting or PMing me your gmail address, so I can make sure it gets taken care of?
Oh, wait, secondary doc. Fallen, you're actually the only one who has privilages for that. Would you mind taking care of it, and giving Shon and Aweena's addresses the ability to?
New post going up soon.

Sorry, I can do that but it might take me a while to figure it out... XD I'm not google knowledgeable.Though I need the address to add it.

I've PMed it to you.
Sorry Proser, I thought you'd said the first and had Prom clear it for you days ago. In my mind it was resolved, should have checked up with you. If you've already worked on the CS there's no reason you can't post it up here as well and continuously edit it if you prefer. The Google Docs posting was merely a habit for former members, not a requirement by any means.
I'll see what I can do when I'm less busy, I'll probably post the finished CS in here when it's ready rather than take up too much of people's time.

Posted. Finally. Geez, Free Faller, way to be a slacker. What a butthole... My short excuse is that I was busy. My long excuse is in the hider and should be read at your own risk.
But as for the dice rolly, one person thingy... Totally rolled a one. Even giving Cassie bonus points for completely arbitrary reasons in my head I still figured her screwed. I thought a dunk in freezing water and loosing her backpack was a reasonable consequence, but please correct me if I'm totally off.
I also came to the realization that, as I am nearing the point where I will start swapping the POV of posts with Cassie and the NPCs from Mackinac, I'm going to have a super hard time not writing in goofy "Cassie style" and adopting what might be considered a normal or more traditional writing tone for the others. I haven't done that in like, forever. 0.o
So, it was like totally Aweena and her entire country's fault. After the US lost out on not one, but two gold medals in hockey to Canada I just... I went down into my basement wearing nothing but hockey pads, curled up around my hockey stick in the fetal position on the floor, and sang songs about America through my racking sobs. This went on for I don't know how long. Totally lost track of all time. And then after I pulled my blubbering puddle of a self together again I had to wash the taste of shame and despair from my mouth which coincidentally tastes a lot like chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and tequila... Or my friend needed help moving. One of those.

Sorry I've been a little less than present. My work week is changing and I will have loads of time come Tuesday evening. I'm reading posts, and god I love them, but I will probably get something Wednesday morning. I know that's a wait that holds Fallen back, but no one else think you need to keep pace with us. If you have your own little postings going on and have not already, hook up with others and interact. We want to give you all a little time to get some footing before we spring our... trap. Yes. And it'll only be better if you create your connections, note those beloved figures you've met over the two weeks, and so on.
And if you're FF and are way out in the nowheres... We need to get you a posting partner!

Lol, no hurries Shon. One thing I like about this rp is the slow pace (even some people say I post rather fast) and currently have an Abbie reply need in the wings but I've been slow on getting to it since my rp, Blood hit a scene shift which requires a lot on my part.

Hey, FF likes being in the nowheres; it's her natural habitat. Besides that, since I'm not going to be here almost the entire month of March (I've totally mentioned that, right? Yeah, I have. I leave on Tuesday.) I wouldn't even begin to worry about finding a posting buddy until then. It would suck huge... potato... to have to wait on me for a month to post. When I get back I can just pretty much pop up wherever I want and be all like "Oh hey, look at that. Magic." and eventually explain how she got there through a series of flashback posts.

Aweena, I'll try to get a reply for the collab tomorrow, but no promises. I've feeling slightly under the weather which I hope is only a 24 hour at worse...

Hey, I wrote a thing for Daryl in the OP, if you want to add it.
Why this can't wait for some other time, I have no idea, but I suppose I'll humor you. I've got a hundred other things I need to be doing, not the least of which involves cleaning the guts off of my truck's front manifold. Of course, I said that to you last week, and the week before, and the week before...
My name's Daryl Romanson, and I'm best known as a scavenger. Scout for the Chico haven on occasion. That means I spend most of my time out of havens, wandering around, looking for... stuff. Cars, gas, old-world food, batteries, guns, ammunition, stuff you can't just grow behind a haven wall. People know me because I rescue people. Not usually intentionally, but I come across people, sometimes. Survivors from old, destroyed camps, sometimes the odd slave or down-on-their-luck bandit. And I bring them all to Chico, or Reno. It doesn't happen very often, but it's often enough that you've got me writing this down, I guess.
I like being out of havens. Don't get me wrong, a safe place to lay down is great and all, but people there spend too much time trying to make things the way they were. Wake up, brush teeth, go to school, go to work, come home, drink, go to bed. I can't get into it. My life was boring enough before the meteors hit, I have no interest in trying to replicate that. So instead, I go outside, survive on my own. It's much more rewarding, I think. I've traveled back and forth over the Sierras so many times I've lost count, and I'm up and down the west coast at least twice a year. It's nice, you watch your own back, and don't have to worry about anything besides what your next meal will be, and how to avoid being something else's next meal.
That's something I've always disagreed with other people about, just the general view of life in Apocalyptica. The way some people talk about it, you'd think it's something out of Fallout, some irradiated desert where nothing can survive, but that's not true. I think of it like those scenes in I am Legend – remember that movie? - where it's just a montage of Will Smith living a good life with his dog. Lots of wild animals, everything's quiet, everything's overgrown. That, to me, seems more like what I experience. Zombies don't bug anything but people, as long as nothing's stupid enough to get close to them. Something about seeing a pack of wild horses roaming around makes you think; 'I've made good choices with my life.'
When I am in havens, I spend most of my time trading and living with my buddy, Wess. We survived the first few weeks of the apocalypse together, holed up in his little 1-bedroom house outside Sacramento. To be honest, Wess is the only reason I stayed alive. He's a guru on surviving the zombie apocalypse, knows everything there is to know. He's the one who takes care of my truck, and trades the scraps of supplies I collect into fresh food. He likes experimenting, always working on something or other. He makes a lot of money off of selling mines to the city, makes them out of bleach and old slotted toasters. He's real well connected, too, knows all the city councilmen, though how he does, I have no idea. You should talk to him, he could probably get you an interview with the mayor or someone important.
Anyways, that's enough blathering. Edit this how you will, use it if you want. I've got other stuff to do.

Just a quick question, would it at all be feasible for an anchored cruise ship to remain offshore (A few miles at most) from the West Coast for several years or would the maintenance required be an issue, even if it wasn't being moved.

'Tis is a good question. I'm going to say there's a chance an unmaintained cruise ship could still be afloat. For the sake of good literature, we'll say it's possible.

@Zombie: I agree with Aweena. It probably has a ton of growths on the sides, and if it hasn't run in several years I'm curious if the engines in that thing would be screwed yet. But who knows, maybe some of those left there came from an engineering background in the military and did something to actively see to it the machine would work (to the best of their ability, anyway) if it someday had to. Sounds like a solid idea, and on the West Coast, there's no reason we can't check it out.
