No way lol. I just didn't know she was one of the students you were referring to with the term science nerd.


She's not. I'm going to explain what they are in the next post, but they're essentially a group of all the adept science students trying to figure out what's going on with everything. Vanessa is not a Science Nerd despite her class being Biology, just that her class was Biology.

Neither of whom? They may not want to be in the Nerds anyway, so I may end up just creating an NPC group or whatever. No danger.

Ah, sorry for assuming there. Give Midori 48 hours from when she last posted and then railroad her. She was discussing it earlier so I think she'll understand where we're coming from. Roman has already given you permission to railroad her until Monday.

Sorry I don't have time to sit down and write a post this morning... You can have Aria bring the first-aid kit and then go back into the office to look for papers, and I'll write her freak-out episode over the body when I come back. Also, is Aria one of the Science Nerds? XD

Don't worry about it, you said you were gonna be busy. Aria can be one of the Science Nerds if she wants. If she wasn't I was going to keep her as like my right hand man who could translate what the smart kids were saying hahah. Entirely your choice though.

Thanks @ViolentViolet.

@The Scotsman Hah, yeah, she and some of the other tutoring kids could be translators. I can imagine Aria would get irritated at the middle-schoolers sooner or later, especially the middle school latin classes, and she'd shout at them in Latin. THEN they would obey her. XD

@The Scotsman For sure, simplification is a good thing in large-group roleplays. I would say just don't make stereotyping your characters a habit. It leads to unimaginative characters (example, forcing anyone who knows about science to have a nasally voice xP).

Yeah, totally. Like the voice to the masses, because they're familiar with them and stuff.

Hey! That was one time! But you're right, it was a long day and I was struggling with that post.

I could totally see @The Scotsman character shouting "Jocks, Nerds, Goths! Lend me your ears!"

And I'm assuming my guy is gonna be put into the engineers/mechanics.

And one last thing; ever since i saw the rp title and read the the IC, I've always wondered what the tie-in was, cause I have no idea.

The disaster is the hurricane, and the hurricane is so devastating [in an unusual way] that it's driving the survivors to safety of some sort.

Also, my character is probably going to resent Jack. Js. Not that he'd know it, unless he were to pull Ro into a different room and start hounding on him like he does with a few others.

Also, is there going to be a disaster that involves the deaths of many of the several thousand students? Because in a week, most of them would be dead, anyways, unless the controlled characters were able to mass-ship supplies in from supermarkets and the like. Several thousand students wouldn't survive in the long term- any operations to get any kind of lasting supply of food or water would be so large that the bad guys- whom I assume will be attacking sooner or later- would probably... attack.

@WilsonTurner In the setting we're in, the school was made to act as a shelter in the event of a terrorist attack. The GM has said as much in his posts throughout this thread and the interest check. It's equipped with security systems and food and water rations, though the details of this haven't been made apparent.

No, I get where you'er coming from. I only have so much writing skills before I get cliched though.

Me too, the poeticness is highly necessary to the developement of my character.

Dude, I was gonna make Braden the leader hahah. Being from the UK, I actually forgot Auto Shop was a subject which is a shame because it would've fit Jack better than Physics.

WilsonTurner and Tancuras have both done a good job of explaining it. It's the idea of the event forcing people to safety to try and survive. I took the line from the 30 Seconds to Mars song, 'Hurricane'.

That's pretty much it, yeah.

No worries, I'm getting the feeling he may be coming off as thinking he's so nice and cool, and that he's just the best. Not my intention, but it's never the intention of the person in that position anyway.

I'm thinking of something. I have an idea in the works which I may start detailing in this post, if not the one after. Bad guys are incoming. Get ready for the bad guys.

We have food to last about a week, maybe more as the school was built with 7500 students in mind. I feel like giving this choice to whichever writer finds the storage space and letting them decide if the school got that weeks delivery or if the were getting it the next day, but I don't want one of you to throw my story to shit so already hahah.

I do have time to write a post, it turns out. @ViolentViolet @The Scotsman I'm thinking I'll have Aria bring the first aid kit, then go retrieve the papers, then find the body and totally freak out and then ultimately report back to the auditorium.
