[OOC] Task Force Echo (A Special Forces RP)

[Starlance]

Sorry, I wasn't home today, probably won't be tomorrow. So hopefully on Thursday, probably on Friday.

No problem- should be awesome.

Also, I feel very, very shitty if I did indirectly place your characters, but for the sake of movement, I left a lot of choice to it- so for example, when Merlin took the man down, the other could have been taken by Olivia or Jarek, and it was placed heavily on an assumption- any way of doing it is fine pretty much, but I made that assumption by the suggestion that it would give a signposting for where your character could be, among the other things that has happened. TLDR, I think that was the most extreme it will be at this point, as from here on out, it's a little more driven by everyone.

[Antediluvixen]

Still trying to think of just what to do...

That and to orient myself.

[FourtyTwo]

Forward towards enemy....like a Claymore :D Couldn't help it- with a post though, do whatever you feel works. I did it in the past where I made a distinct paragraph, you could identify your character's name, and any command, linking straight to that, fitting really nicely into the narrative of the post too, so I'll work a little better on making that the case so that it's easier to follow suit. There's a lot of freedoms you can take with it.

Wonder if Aleksandra should behead a guy with her knife. Sic semper tyrannis jihadist(?)

[FourtyTwo]

Merlin has done it in the past- to an IS executioner, ironically. Meh, why not, I like to see her living up to her name as a wolf, almost alike to Merlin in ways.

@kingkonrad

If we're making her live up to the name, should I have her rip someone's throat out with her teeth in close combat at some point?

[FourtyTwo]

Rawr. :)

Then again, Merlin's is "Wizard". He'll toss a smoke grenade and disappear! And for his next act, then push someone off some high building somewhere!

The callsigns for this RP are on fucking point though- Blacktail, Wolf, Huscarl, Duchess. Friggin' awesome.

[Antediluvixen]

@kingkonrad

Technically hers is "She-Wolf"

Even better, her surname (Volkov or Волков) is derived from the word "Волк" meaning "Wolf"

Her first name, Aleksandra, is the feminine form of Aleksandr, obvs derived from Alexander, meaning, essentially "Defender of Man"

She's a wolf that nonetheless, defends the sheep of the world :P

[FourtyTwo]

I was going to say, Volkov, is deriving from that, even I can read that :P

It puts a new meaning to a Wolfpack, when you're rolling with her, haha. I still seriously think I squandered the opportunity with Nikolaj, I went with Huscarl, but Kraken would have been such a cliche, good callsign to have...

[Antediluvixen]

@kingkonrad

If you had done that, would it be okay for Aleksandra to yell "RELEASE THE KRAKEN" whenever he deployed?

[FourtyTwo]

Soo....anyone gonna post up? Plz? :P

@Monochromatic Rainbow, yeah, it would have been tempting :)

[Antediluvixen]

@kingkonrad

I'm trying to get stuff up, but I'm in a huge funk right now.

[FourtyTwo]

Bumpity bump!

[ChaoticFox]

@kingkonrad Gonna be a bit longer with mine, I'm not gonna have much time to write for a few days.

[FourtyTwo]

So...bumpity! I really want to keep this going, and while I know the pace has been jittery, I still think there's potential :)

[BigPapaBelial]

Oh there's loads of potential.

People just need to buckle down and get in on this.

[BigPapaBelial]

It's been one month kids.

One month since we had an IC post in here. Come on. Let's get this moving again.

[Antediluvixen]

Currently alternating between trying to get something written for this and cramming for a math exam on Tuesday that I'm not prepared for at all, but I am working.

As an aside, I might add this to Aleksandra's CS

[FourtyTwo]

@Monochromatic Rainbow

Ooooh, that is interesting. Would fit her EOD look, looks fucking awesome too.

When you can, buddy- I do want to keep this running, and if everyone else is in, we can keep things moving along :)
