[OOC] Deadland Wasteland: The Beginning

[Denalz]

<Snipped quote by Denalz>

(UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada) 6:06 and reading your cs now.

Heads up to my players, I've recently become homeless (but no worries, it's all good hombres) and I have limited access to internet for the moment. I'm usually able to get on either in the mornings, or the evening, maybe both, or I can (Painstakingly) do things on my phone and do things over Wifi whenever I want, so don't worry about me not being around. I've just been busy running around lately, but I hit up the library pretty often and they have free wifi.

I'm also looking into getting a chromebook (gonna be like 150$, sweet) so I can write using wifi better than on my phone. But no worries, I'll still beable to collab, post, and manage this. Just forewarning you all of my limited time, or that I may not be able to do things as quickly anymore. For the most part, it shouldn't effect things too much. I love roleplay too much to let it.

@Aeonumbra

I was so excited about you accepting me into the RP that I totally missed this bit. Sorry to hear about the housing situation :(. I am glad that you think you'll still have time to run the RP though.

@Denalz It's really not hard to manage, with my phone and free wifi everywhere it's not that big of a deal. I still have access to a PC at a friends (my pc as well) and the library so, I mean, it's not that big of a deal. As of the homelessness, just so you fully understand how insane and incredibly weird I am. I don't mind it, it's actually more like an adventure. I'm more productive, I'm sleeping regular hours (in my car, which is pretty comfy once you kick the seat back). It's like a big adventure to me. I've always wondered what being a vagabond would entail, what stories I would come out with, what experiences I would.. well, experience.

Honestly, everybody else is more bent out about than I am. The quality of my life has not decline at all, I just play video games less, and read more. Sleeping in my car, and having a job still, it's really not as bad as it could be. But thank you for your sympathies, but you should save those for somebody who is less fortunate than I. =)

Also, welcome aboard. Glad to have you along for the ride.

[Syben]

@Denalz Missed this bit. Minor details are fine honestly, if I see any questionable changes I will bring them to your attention. As for the collab. What are you doing tomorrow? I would love to. The Library is open from 10am to 8pm, and I pretty much plan to be there all day (Except for lunch, and a bank run to deposit my check, but I can do those when I wake up, which is likely to be around 8:30 or so.) Not sure how long they'll let me use a PC, but I have my phone as well (and wifi :D).

The library opens 15 and a half hours from now (It is currently 6:30 for me.) Though, I do have work tomorrow and will have to call it quits around 5:30, so that's 7 and a half hours I have available.

[Denalz]

@Aeonumbra Well you have an incredibly good attitude about things. I kinda feel like an idiot for complaining to my co-workers tonight about how rough things are there. Props to you. Just stay safe.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I am very flexible when i comes to my character dying off. I will happily write a new one to take his place if the time comes. I realize that this particular setting comes with hazards and that realistically, not every character should make it. My point is, let me know if David's usefulness to the plot has run its course. I truly don't mind and prefer to shake things up now and again.

Also, I'm always down for dramatic entrances. Care for a collab in which David and Abigail meet under "less than ideal circumstances"? That offer is valid for any character on here actually. Just saying. If no one speaks up soon though, I'll probably just go ahead and post.

[Denalz]

@Aeonumbra Wow, lol, I keep posting and then seeing other things you wrote. Hold on a second. Let me read your last post before you respond to me. Haha.

[Syben]

@Denalz Aboslutely, and you can post before I collab as well. Post as you need. Abigail is around 12:17pm timewise. Also, don't worry about your character, "usefulness to the plot" isn't quite relevant here, it's more a collection of stories told through the eyes of various suvivors, meaning they are the ones meant to make it, if you so choose. =)

Dramatic entrance like Abigail raiding a grocery store and having a small family of ghouls wander out of the back rooms? She's not exactly a fighter, more of a survivor. An David swooping in like an action hero and kicking some undead ass (Hoss Delgado status)? Or perhaps a band of less than friendly survivors trying to rob her, and David could use either wit or charm to fend them off? (Something like "Hey, the others are on their way." or something super witty like that to get her out of that situation.)

Otherwise, shoot me your ideas. I'm mean to my characters anyways =P

Edit: Shit, haha my bad. I'll wait a bit.

[Denalz]

Ok, so you are in the Pacific Standard Time zone (PST) then. Okay, I have a job interview that I plan to be home from at no later than 0900 (your time). So, we can start the collab at 1000 (your time) and I will need to be finished by 1315 (your time). Have a darn work competency that I have to go take. Do these times work for you? What will the circumstances/scene for our collab be like? I prefer to start brainstorming now if you have the time.

[Denalz]

Okay, I think it's safe to respond now...

[Denalz]

Yes! Okay, so would you like to move this conversation over to PM? Also, how do you prefer to do collabs? PM, Titan Pad, Instant Messenger?

[Syben]

I have about 25 minutes before I need to leave, but feel free to pm me any and all ideas.

Also yes, I can be available from 10 to 3:15, my time. My apologies if I run a bit fashionably late.

Abigail's current mission is to loot some cigarettes so she can trade with the army boys, so something either revolving her scavenging or a random encounter. Do you have any particular desires on how dramatically David will enter? I'm pretty flexible when it comes to these situations.

[Denalz]

Also yes, I can be available from 10 to 3:15, my time. My apologies if I run a bit fashionably late.

@Aeonumbra

Just to be clear, I will have to be gone by 1:15pm, your time (1315 in millitary time). ;)

[Syben]

@Denalz Ah. Right.

I'm just a civvie man ^_^

[Denalz]

@Aeonumbra Sorry, I just get used to military time for work. Also I find it the preferred method of telling time in many other countries. I'll use standard time for now.

[Komo]

@Aeonumbra

I'm almost done with my CS, just finishing up several details. I've got an important question though. I know this takes place in the US, but does your character need to be American? Can they be of a foreign nationality?

@Symphoni

I think it's perfectly fine if they are of a different nationality, they just have to be in the Seattle area for whatever reason, whether it be some businessman who's stuck there after a trip, a tourist on vacation, or a naturalized foreigner like my own character.

On another note, hope everything is going well for you, @Aeonumbra, props to you for being positive about it!

[MarshiestMallow]

@Aeonumbrawow hope things are okay for you, stay safe!

I use military time too, it kind gets beaten into you in nursing. I rarely think about it now. I'll try and use normal time

[Yunagi]

While I used to function more on 12 hour time, I'm more used to 24 hour, but if it helps makes things understandable for everyone, I'll be happy to use the former.

[Syben]

Either time works for me, I was just strapped for time yesterday, so I wasn't quite thinking about it as hard as I should have been. And thank you all for your sympathies, but they are wasted on me. I'm doing great :D

[Syben]

@Yunagi@Caits(and anybody else)

If anybody plans to meet up with Eli and his military boys, you'll need to collab with me. They are not free NPCS and are being added to the important NPCs list. =) That is all.

Updates

• Important places moved to 3rd post, Fairway Elementary added.
• Sergeant Eli added to Important NPCs, under Aeonumbra's control.

[Yunagi]

Just a heads up, I won't be able to write until 6:00 PM my time (precisely 18 hours from now), as I'll be in Paris all day helping my dad with work, but I'll try to read any posts that show up when I'm free. Have a good one, everyone!
