Aweena

New Apocalyptica

I'm going to butt in here and ruin the nice back-and-forth. 'Cause that's how Aweena rolls.

I'm still alive, everyone. Just insanely busy. Like, most days I actually have to wake up before 9am, and I don't know what this grown-up full-time-job life is, but I ain't about this kind of responsibility. I'd like to be a child again, please.

How's everyone else doing?

New Apocalyptica

Finally, after over a week, I've struck an inspiration gold mine! It only took me so many times to rewrite it and try new approaches. I'll have my first post up hopefully by tomorrow night, and then I won't look so bad.

I really like the new avatar and sig Reaper.

I agree. Every single time you bring out a new one, I love it even more than the last.

Fallenreaper said
Fallen, please. Reaper makes it sounds like I'm out for souls...which is a secret. >}

Dun, dun, dun, dunnnnnn.

Will have Abbie up tonight or tomorrow, I swear it.

I've been meaning to get up Angela's first post for the longest time. Is it just me, or does it feel really challenging to start again? I'm so excited and interested in this RP, and I love my characters and all, but actually beginning it... it's more difficult than I'd like to admit.

I have to step out. Going to be gone for about a month or so, thanks to some immediate changes to my life. Sorry.

Oh no, that's not good. I hope everything's going to be okay. If you'd like, we can put your character on hold so you can still be a part of this when you get the chance to come back?

Alright, friends! The OOC has been updated with the new Google Doc page. In order to access it, you'll need a gmail account (doesn't need to be your real name) and PM it to Zombiedude so he can add you to the list. Then you all can start using it for all the fun group projects!

Also, the People of Apocalyptica page has been edited with the final character sheets. Eleven in total. I will start planning each and every single one of their gruesome deaths. You're all welcome.

I'm waiting on the originals to post before I go much further. It'll be nice to know their finalized placement and what not.

I'm lagging a bit, I know. Sorry about that. I'm working on my posts now. Starting things never was my strong point.

New Apocalyptica

Sorry I'm not the best at being active lately, friends. I will be again soon. So don't count me out just yet.

That is, unless Aweena decides my characters no longer tickle his willy and he makes a volcano that spews magma zombies appear beneath one (or two, or all) of my characters. :P

... well, shit, there goes that plot device.

Also, Aweena doesn't have a willy. Aweena ain't a he.

@Aweena and Zombie: Again, big question- Is either of the farmers (or your new one, Aweena) or Coltrane sticking with Abbie? Mainly it affects my intro post to whether I decided to do a small NPC group, or rather have her separated from who is with her. I'm thinking, Jazzy, if you don't mind me using those discovered fresh zombies as remains of Abbie's last group? It might be rather nice twist to discover there might be an owner to the supplies they had gathered and create some fun with that, mainly with the idea of finders/keepers. :P Just a thought. Not sure if I want to use it yet or not. Though a 3th or 4th member would be roaming around due to a nice little conflict to deal with outside the normal, random bandit or undead scenerio. Also, it would be a first in this rp for me.

If you want to take any of the Farmers, you can. I can see Toby deciding he can't let Abbie go off on her own, and so he accompanies her (only to brutally die later on 'cause that's how Aweena rolls). If you want, I can bring him back and write for him? I do miss writing my failed attempts at romance between him and Sam.

Other than Toby, I think everyone else is planted. I decided Sam, Aurora and Chuck went off to recover Danielle*; Winifred's still living in Chico with Lacy, waiting to pop out that baby; and Darius is still working at the hospital, also living with Win and Lacy. Toby's the only one who doesn't have to stay and, truthfully, he wouldn't if he knew Abbie was leaving the group.

*= I have a plot coming up later involving Sam, Aurora and Chuck. Those three I don't want to move.

Well, that was a complete waste of the entire squadron of helicopters and drones I tasked to find you... who apparently are not very good at their jobs. One would think that was the first place they'd have looked. Guess I'll just have to re task them to find Aweena... she could be anywhere in that vast white wasteland she calls Canada.

It's gotten cold here, so I moved further south to my summer igloo until our second winter is over. Also, I just saw a boose walk by. Does that help at all?

Currently, my characters haven't been placed in any one location besides a city. I'm purposely vague as to where they are for a reason. I had an idea for them to be heading toward the Colorado Springs, but Aweena has STILL not gotten back to me on that after the PM I sent him a few days ago (I'm beginning to feel he just doesn't respond if it's something he doesn't want to tell you which is totally okay if it is). If you have any specific city in mind maybe Nevermind, you, and I can work something out. Allison will want another girl to be around to help her out and be there as a female friend.

I've replied, finally. Pardon my not seeing your PM. I hope we can still be BFFs, Jazzy.

New Apocalyptica

I'm reading through the three IC posts so far. The three of you (Jazzy, Lo Pellegrino and Jazzy) are quite good at writing. It sort of makes me hate you all.

Euclid said
I'll be reposting my intro in a couple days or so, after I do some editing and additions.

No rush. I imagine most people will be getting their first up within the week, so take your time if you need to.

Apocalyptica

Alright, the new OOC is up. You can find it over here. We're working out a new way to have the character sheets without destroying everything again, most likely by creating a separate thread for them while still making it make sense with the book format we have going. It'll be up soon.

It's under a new account, Apocalyptica, but I still remain as GM alongside my good pals, Fallenreaper, Free Faller and Zombiedude101. We did this so that we can all make edits to the OP without relying on one person to carry things along. Thus, we shouldn't have to make a new OOC should I unexpectedly perish in the next few days.

Apocalyptica

EVERYONE, please read:

I posted before about how the first OOC post can't be edited (and it still can't), and after flicking through the site, I discovered a post explaining that it's a known issue that long posts may cause it to become uneditable. The only options are to redistribute the information to other OOC posts, or start a new thread. I know a few of you have already posted in the IC, and I feel bad for suggesting this, but would you all mind if we created a new OOC thread with the info split into two posts? I'd considered dividing it up into two posts on the first page of the OOC, but they're far apart and I feel it'd just look bad. The better option is to redo the thread, I believe.

Let me know how you all feel about it. I'm sorry I broke the internet, guys. It really wasn't my intention.

Jazzy said
I had fun tonight with drawing and photoshop, I drew Brick and Allie.

If it's okay with you, I want to add this to the OOC once I can. I wanted a bunch of natural-looking sketches throughout it. I figured digitally edited images wouldn't make sense if this is supposed to be a post-apocalyptic book. Just a hunch.
