Post coming soon once I am home, shower and eat.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Rivaan - You are on day 4

[rivaan]

^_^ @Lady Amalthea writing a post like right this moment! I have word opened and all! xD

[Nallore]

I'll have a post up tonight.

[Sigil]

Noticed that I am on Day Three. I will be posting after work tomorrow. Should keep me in the time period provided. Thanks for your patience.

[Oliver]

he looked over at the young boy on the bed next to him as the kid laid there and then the other kid that had broken his leg. They were in way better condition then he was,

@Nallore

Really? You sure about that? XD
Having a leg chopped off is terrible, no doubt.
But, while a severed limb is more "deadly" (as in it needs to be treated very quickly or else it's almost certain to cause death from blood loss), it's WAY easier to treat than advanced malnutrition or even a broken leg.
Broken leg kid's probably on a longer road to recovery than Ray, and is actually probably in more pain because Ray's nerves have been cut and he's probably at least in a small amount of shock and can't feel that much.

Not trying to rag on you, though. I'm just at the top of my Biology class and I know how this stuff works.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Oliver Okay, real quick - Glad you are taking bio class, it helps but there are people in the rp in the medical profession here IRL. But honestly that doesn't matter. It all depends on the rolls. LLA decides if a character gets better or worse, not the RPer or even myself as the GM. It is left up to the how the dice fall.

Now, as far as Nal's post goes - to Nal's character Ray, she posted correctly considering from the naked eye a broken leg and a thin child are going to look in a lot better condition than someone who just had their leg severed.

OOC - she made the correct call for this situation. Each one has been through something, each are battling different circumstances. Long term, Ray is currently in the worse shape out of all three. Ciel currently is the only one looking at a long term fully recovery in the shortest amount of time.

(Again, it will all depend on the rolls made for LLA, but that is the current standings.)

[Lady Absinthia]

@FantasyChic - On day 4

@Sigil - On day 3

@Morose - Once Sigil gets his post in, which will most likely be tonight knowing him, I will update and bring in your new character. (Update will most likely come in the morning.)

@Lady Amalthea

True, true. I meant in terms of recovery, recovering fully from starvation can take a few weeks (2 at the shortest. Considering that Ciel's only been in full-on starvation for about 2 weeks, he'll probably be fine in about 1-3 weeks realistically), and a broken leg averages about 6 weeks to heal. An amputated leg can be sealed and secured within an hour.

EDIT: While you can "recover" from starvation quite quickly, one's body will still be in starvation mode for up to 3 months. At least that's what my teacher, Google and my Bio textbook are telling me.

EDIT THE 2ND: Though, in retrospect, you're right. Ray is the only one out of the three who cannot be expected to recover fully. Unless he's an axolotl and can regrow severed limbs...

[Nallore]

I'm also gonna say this to, even if the bleeding is stopped Raymond is still at very high risk of some form of infection slipping in. Now i'm not in the medical field. Since there is a major lack of sterile equipment Tiffany used Ray's machete on him to remove the leg and that had been used to fight off walkers so the potential of infection would most likely kill him without antibiotics.

And if he does survive Ray would have to deal with life bound in either a wheelchair or crutches, unless they find a prosthetic floating around somewhere. So Ray wont be running at all anytime soon at all, anyway I said what I needed and gonna drop it at that again not in the medical field but that's about as far as I know. So far the rolls have been in Ray's favor so he could survive or not just have to wait for the rolls ect.

@Nallore

All good points. Again, I was mostly thinking in terms of pain and recovery speed. A broken leg actually hurts more than a severed leg because of the nerve damage and shock involved in amputation. If you look up pictures on the internet of people who've lost limbs due to explosions or animal attacks or whatever, there's a reason they usually look pretty stoic. 1, they're probably about to pass out, and 2, they're not in that much pain.
And thanks for bringing up infection. I totally blanked on the fact that we're in an apocalyptic environment and we don't have sterile tools.

And... we're rolling dice? Since when? Is there a link to where?

[Lady Absinthia]

@Oliver Actually you don't roll for anything. Everything that happens via the World Narratives is determined through a randomization technique I developed and Lady Luck decides what happens, who lives, who dies, how, and when. (There is a tutorial I wrote in depth on the subject in the articles section under Gming 201)

We've used it since the beginning of the RP. Rolls, when needed happen behind the scenes and results are posted in the World Narratives. Sometimes I will conduct them in the chat, other times I record them. Depends on what is happening. Only the GM or CoGm make the rolls for Lady Luck.

@Morose - On day 3

@Lady Amalthea Writing a post now, sorry for the delay!

@Morose I was hoping that Ed would spaz the fuck out with his hand holding Ray's stump. :P

[Nallore]
