[OOC] The Dust: Relaunch

[TheMadAsshatter]

Woah. Sheeeeeit. That's a hell of a jump.

[Antediluvixen]

@Darcs
Togezzer we shall all reach ze stars!

@TheMadAsshatter
But think of the possibilities.

[Lightning Fast]

Waitwaitwait what a year?

I--... I'm assuming this is after the battle, so I'd better get my post up quickly.

[Arcanaut]

So for y'all (@Arcanaut) still here who haven't posted, do you want to do that or just wait for the new thread? The time skip will be a year, so you might want to alter your CS's so that you're caught up with everything going on in Dust in 2382. Mono and I have a last collab post, then I guess we can work on something of a timeline? TOGETHER???

@Darcs

I think it would be best if I post after the time skip that way not only is my character not shoe-horned in, but some things will make more sense (such as that collaboration we talked about) While it's unrealistic to ask you to postpone Luciana's visit to Tas, I'd certainly like Roland to be there on a return visit of some sort.

@TheMadAsshatter
I was like 'lets do the most ridiculous jump possible so a bunch of things have changed but it's still Dust' at first I was like 'two weeks' then I was like 'a month' then I was like 'a year' and Mono was just like 'O-okay?'

By skipping forward a year we can effectively resolve most of the plotlines new players might find themselves going in confused by, while also basically keeping our characters the same people. We can work out exactly what happens with all of our characters and the world in a timeline dealie. Which, I mean, at least in my mind, would effectively serve as a tl;dr for any potential new people, detailing day's 1 - 4 of the RP, and the year of skipping that follows, basically what our characters are doing and what happens to Dust after the effective fall of Motum Diversum.

@Lightning Fast
Are you saying you can't make that post as fast as lightning?

@Arcanaut
I think it's possible for them to have met at some point during the year.

@Darcs

Basically.

Honestly though, we've shaken the entire world up four days in.

Imagine the shenanigans that'd happen with a whole year.

[Lightning Fast]

Ah... you see, I was gonna help the Wings, but if you're planning on obliterating them...

EDIT: Upon reflection, I realize my idea doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I'd planned to disguise myself as a Wings officer and boost morale, but unless the Wings are truly drunk-off-their-ass and decadent, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense that I'd need to, or that I'd be any better than any actual officer.

Anyone wanna make up some combined backstory for the year?

[Antediluvixen]

@Lightning Fast

Depends on what you'll be doing but if it'll fit into what Darcs/myself are gonna be doing as well, I'd be up for trying to integrate or something.

[Lightning Fast]

@Monochromatic Rainbow Honestly, the more I think about it the less sense it makes.

[Antediluvixen]

@Lightning Fast Was referring to this bit.

@Lightning Fast

[Lightning Fast]

@Monochromatic Rainbow Ah, whoops!

... Yeah, sure, I'd like to collab with someone at some point. I was thinking of fleeing to Serenity, but what's a shapeshifter good for in a city full of volatile political intrigue?

[Antediluvixen]

@Lightning Fast

Gosh, that's possibly the worst place to put someone with those talents ever. What we need is a gruff soldier who hates anything less forward than gutting your enemy with his own bayonet. That'll get the job done.

[Lightning Fast]

@Darcs Also, just for that lightning fast pun, I'm using your new little sister as part of MY backstory!

If you don't like it...

... just let me know and I'll cut her out. I don't know what plans you had for her, so I'm asking for your approval before I do anything. I'm almost done my post; just writing a passage about the Maryson Brothers getting Archie's father Rico and who I was hoping to make Rico's granddaughter, Aiai. I need an adorable child with us for plot armour. If she's a semi-permanent character for you, I completely understand you not wanting me to use her.

Also, it's an excuse for us to meet up later.

[Darcs]

@Lightning Fast I was actually thinking I might write a CS for her at some point...

At the same time I'm just happy we've got another critically acclaimed side character, use her however you want, dog.

Well, don't pull a Humbert Humbert unless you can really pull it off.

[Lightning Fast]

@Darcs Okay, I googled "Humbert Humbert" and I can assure you I won't be doing that.

[Darcs]

I'm just saying, men with an attraction to nymphets get virtually no media representation
#NotAllHumberts

[Lightning Fast]

@Darcs You're just a bastion of good taste and wholesome purity, ain'tcha?

... And Cyrus has a completely different type of sexual depravity, thank you very much.

[TheMadAsshatter]

Sooooo...?

[Antediluvixen]

@TheMadAsshatter

Wondering the same thing myself, I'm talking with Darcs, we'll try to make... something happen sooner rather than later.

[Lightning Fast]

Apologies for slowness. I have no good excuses.

EDIT: I posted finally! It's... okay. I rushed a bit at the end so I could get it done, and I don't want to do anything in the Bitches' Brew that might screw up what the DMs have planned.

I feel it's not up to snuff with my other post, but I'll step it up in the future. Consider this my Duke Nukem: Forever post; an overly long development time led to under-delivering on obscene promises.
