[OOC] Fire and Sails

[Mokley]

Placeholder title, mostly. It can be changed at a whim! Woo!

[theargonaut]

Loved it! That was amazing! I am at a friends currently. I may be able to snag the laptop later tonight but I probably won't be able to get a post up until tomorrow some time (my phone is crappy and I want to have something equally as awesome for you).

[Mokley]

Yay! I'm so glad you like it! :D

No problemo, definitely no rush on posting. Have fun visiting!

[theargonaut]

Annnd home, finally. Haha. I am working on a post now and will have it up soon. Sorry this took so long, my boyfriend and I ended up going back to his place when we got home instead of mine and he doesn't have a computer

And I really did like it, I have a feeling this rp is gonna be a good one!!

[Mokley]

Awesoooommee pooosstt! :D

Ok thinking thinking and then writing. I have a feeling it won't be terribly long, but we will see.

[theargonaut]

Hehe thanks :3

And that's fine, my post was long but it didn't exactly give you much to work with haha, just some background stuff :p

[Mokley]

Well, this is embarrassing. Sorry I'm so late. Work stressed me out so much the past few days I couldn't function. But all's well, and I'm catching up!

[theargonaut]

Hey! No worries. I understand that. Glad your back and at it :) Where do you work?

Edit: I just read your post. Holy hay! I loved it! Its definitely gonna mean backlash from Ari. Muahah

[Mokley]

I have a cubicle at the state health department. I get aaalll the insane phone calls.

Haha woo! Backlash is just what I was hoping for. XD

[theargonaut]

Ooh that sounds fun actually! haha, what kind of phone calls would those be.. assuming you are allowed to talk about it! heh

I am writing my reply now, just so you know! :)

[Mokley]

In a general sense there are always people who call and list all their graphic sickness symptoms and expect me to diagnose them. About once a month somebody calls to say the meat in their chinese food is dog or rat or worms or something. Elderly ladies call because they just want someone to talk to for an hour. And then there are the people who swear terrorists are tainting the food supply and the health department is just there to take bribes and the president is corrupt and we're in league with the NSA against humanity. Because someone brought a dog into a supermarket.

Ari seems like she's gonna be so fun to mess with, btw. XD

[theargonaut]

Hahaha that's hilarious! Man that seems like a really funny job. I bet you would have so many good stories at the end of the day. Is that what you do for a living or are you in/going to school at all? Haha, sorry I just like a lot of ooc chat. If you don't just lemme know! That is fine too :p

Eep well I hope I meet your expectations! She will be a lot more outspoken and bitchy (pardon ze french) when they aren't in the town. She is restricted by rules and expectations at the moment and she can't push too many boundaries. Haha, I mean she did shove Yuri in that posts so...

[Mokley]

It's cool. XD I'm done with school, all I've got is the desk job. The best stories, though, are the ones I hear from the inspectors. Every one of them has had horrific experiences, and they always handle it with amazing professionalism. Major respect for everything they do. But how're you? What's up? :D

Haha, yeah she's brilliant -- and your posts are all amazing btw. I squee with joy every time. And please don't feel pressured to push boundaries, I don't mean it that way at all. ^^; Characters are who they are, and they'll do what they're gonna do and feel what they're gonna feel. All we can do is go with the flow. Yuri's not himself at all right now, just trying to appear stoic and honorable for the sake of not being run out of town. Hopefully he'll be more entertaining once we get into the swing of it. x3

[theargonaut]

Oh man, like what kind of stories! Now you have me interested!! :p and I am still in highschool. I work part time at mcdonalds and that basically sums up my life in a nutshell haha. I have no life outside of my workplace... all of my friends (including my boyfriend) work there. It is kinda like a cult. A mcnugget cult. Haha but otherwise I dance competitively and am an uber nerd :p

Haha I was kinda scrambling for words there. Boundaries isn't exactly what I was going for. Lol. But I do agree with you on all of that about characters being who they are, that was very well put :3 I am really excited to delve into these characters honestly!! I think that they are gonna be perfectly paired. Just enough in common to get along but two very strong personalities that are most definitely gonna butt heads. Muahaha! Also,thank you so much it means a lot that ypu like my posts :3:3 I am just trying really hard to give back what I am recieving from you!!

[Mokley]

Haha a mcnugget cult sounds ominously awesome. XD Competitive dance! In what way? Part of a group or solo? Can't say I know anyone else who does that.

The inspectors' stories... the ones that stand out include the inspector who was physically attacked by a business owner and feared for his life; the warehouse that had a dozen homeless people living in the food storage area; and one inspector said he once found unidentifiable meat in a freezer -- the owner was soon after arrested and convicted of murder. The inspector swears it was human flesh he found, but nobody really believes him. XD

Definitely looking forward to developing these characters! :3

[theargonaut]

I am SO sorry. The internet at my house went down, and we weren't able to get it fixed for awhile. I couldn't find another computer to message you on. I didn't just forget about you!

But both as a group and a soloist! I am on my studio's elite team, which isn't necessarily composed of the best dancers, but the most dedicated ones. Of course we train a lot harder than the regular classes do so our technique is a bit more advanced. Not that I am trying to be cocky, I'm really not that great. :p

Oh my god to that last one! I want a job that I can go home with crazy stories with, even if those stories are about creepy meat storing murderers. haha.

[Mokley]

That sounds like a nightmare. x.x I spent 2 weeks without internet once. It was horrifying. I feel for you! XD

That sounds awesome actually. If it's something you love and you work hard at it, you're a master in my book. :) It reminds me of my days playing in string orchestras in school (I play violin) -- we had the elite group that basically slept and breathed music. They loved it, they worked at it, and they were rightfully awesome for it. Major respect.

You might make a great health inspector! :D

[theargonaut]

Haha well glad you aren't mad! And it really sucks, right? :p

I agree! It is all about hard work! And ooh, you play violin? That is actually awesome. I have always wanted to learn how to play an intsrument. Do you still play often?

I actually plan on going into criminal psychology. Lol. So all of my stoties will be about creepy murderers I guess.

[Mokley]

I don't play much anymore. It's hard because I live in an apartment and I don't want to bother the neighbors with my catlike screeching and endless scales. At this point I've let it go for so long that I'll have to relearn where the notes are, and it actually hurts to play -- I never appreciated how much exercise it is. It's why professional violinists have crazy strong arms and good posture. I assume it's probably the same for dancing -- it's all in repetition and muscle memory.

Criminal psychology sounds soooo interesting! What do you plan to do with it? Gonna be an FBI agent? :D

[Mokley]

So hey, I see you haven't been around the site -- I'm gonna go ahead and unsubscribe to free up my list, but if you do come back please do PM me. This is a cool RP. :D
