Metroid: Final Protocol

I mean... I was waiting because my post was not so long ago. I was also waiting on Cass to take point.
But I'll see what I can do.

@SimpleWriter

No worries, powered through it.

Metroid: Final Protocol

The Tribunal took consideration of what was ahead, and what Zen was stating about the munitions situation. "I'm going to be brief. Let's go forward to the armory, get the power on... And with everything operational, we get to that Power Center and assess what has gone on here. Backup mainframe being there as well... That should be priority... Baring all that in mind, with the silent nature of this room, I want caution to be exercised. No gunfire in the Armory,Command Center, or the Power Center... Even if we have to backtrack to the Command Center eventually, keep your guns cool in those rooms. I believe I needn't explain why to those..." He stated sharply.

Taking a few steps forward next to Zen, he addressed him directly. "You say there are no life forms outside of our own, but can you detect any type of machinery that might have some form of emergency power to them? Such as a turret? Last thing we need is to take potshots we are unaware of... or even mines to tripwires... Gas leaks?" Cassius stated the examples. He felt they were good ones. Ones that must be taken into consideration for absolutely minimal risk. "If there is absolutely nothing, then Kaze, I will permit you to take the lead. But no unnecessary risk." Cassius perhaps was being strict, but it wasn't for his well being.

Yeah, things are calming down.

Last week was hell for no reason.

To give a long story short...

Mostly so everyone can go, "Okay, I get it."

First and foremost. My laptop is gradually falling apart. I had to snap the backspace key into place for starters. It works, but it falls out a lot.

Second. A GM from a different project... Rather not say who -- Thought said person was my friend, and I folded and bowed out of a project because I didn't agree how some things were handled not just as a Fandom rp, but just as a rp in general. Especially because I loved said universe.

So that was enough for me to try to get into that project. And then everyone was brought to discord. And because what is said on discord, stays there... I think that is fair. But even after trying to defend some of the things such as "You can't have a clearly non lore friendly character." I get that, it was more addressed to people before I even got there.

And one specific slot just seemed cursed. So we were always skeptical when someone tried to apply for such a place. And it just took generally forever before anyone was ready... Then the GM tried rushing people to hurry up and post some days -- which I can get... But there is a way to do it without coming off as threatening or oppressive about it. And just being there, even when I was never really addressed outside of one incident just made me uncomfortable after a while.

I bowed out because I happened to disagree on not just many small things, but on some of the absurd restrictions, the fact they would shy away from logical questions... Like as a GM, just fucking answer with a Yes or No where it makes sense. If it seems like a flimsy or unreasonable answer, tell me your reasoning past "I dun like it." I've been a GM before, when people ask me questions, just answer straight out, and try to iron out when needed if they do not get it. Don't be vindictive.

So I leave, wishing everyone publicly the best of luck. Just good will, right? Apparently that wasn't enough. A friend that remained in the server was wondering why I left. And apparently they started talking shit about me, which my friend showed me.

So I vented to two people in confidence, saying shit I normally would not mean -- Like I was pissed. I was really fucking pissed. Why wish anyone good will, if they just talk shit about you behind your back? Even my friend was pissed. And they just straight up evade giving a real answer, and clam up when addressed.

So when I vent to these two people, one of them who clearly was not my friend, took what I said and presented it to this person. To clarify, I was frustrated and caricature what I was feeling vs what I would say in a Civil conversation. And that caricature isn't really me, or how I felt in my entirety, just getting the frustrating parts out to get over it and let it go.

That isn't the same as me being evasive than shit talking behind someone's back, and just fucking denying it.

So this "GM". Sends a condescending threatening message like they are holier than thou, when they fucking KNOW they are a Queen Cobra, so you don't get to call someone a snake. (These threats might I add breach so many branches in the rules, you might as well state all of them.)

So this "Gm" also uses the double standard of -- what was said about me wasn't my business apparently. Huh... If that is your branch of logic... than isn't what I said also none of your business? But no, we get the bs double standard because they must feel on top. Which is complete bs, fucking pick one, you can't have it both ways.

I think said person is a failure of a GM. And I will stand by that. Which is funny, because I had a few people PM me about this person recently agreeing with me on this sentiment, because they can never hold a project, and it collapses on itself. So really it just sounds like reality stung this person where it hurt the most -- their pride, with honest facts. To which I say... Get over it and learn from your failings. No one is a perfect writer over night. It takes time. So don't be a fucking bitch about it.

In conclusion, this bitch was projecting what she is in a PM on here. Threatens me.

(Which I reported to a mod and they took care of it. Personal feelings do not count as ban worthy, hopefully said person knows this. And off site statements are also not eligible for review. Because you would be guilty as fuck if so.)

And just says a bunch dumb shit that made me laugh. Just full tinfoil hat.

So not even a fucking day later...

Three. My boyfriend is injured in a work related accident. Yeah, no baggage there or anything...

Not like I didn't love him since I was kid...

He was in the Passenger seat, and the employee driving just fucking wrecks into a pole because he wasn't paying attention, next thing Ben knows, his head is in a airbag.

This is the car by the way.



It's fucking totaled. He was scared shitless because those types of wrecks are normally what kill people.

So to say I wasn't stressed all week would be a complete lie.

Fortunately... he wasn't injured and he is okay, and I been constantly attending to him when I can... so my drive to post is almost non-existent, same to streaming.

Yeah, about that streaming. I was supposed to stream FF7 for the channel and take notes from it for a different project with Falloutjack... Great friend... No, really, he is a good guy.

So my mood has just been out of wack and was just this close to resigning from the site from the toxicity of that entitled bitch.
But thankfully, the mods are cool as fuck.

But still... just ever slightly teetering...

I didn't want to burden this OOC with it, because despite a few raised brows I might have once and a while, you guys are cool and I am just thankful of that not just as a player, but as someone who wants to call you my friends.

I just ask you give me a bit of time to collect myself.

Metroid: Final Protocol

Cassius ignored the Ammo comment; addressing specifications for the weapon at current was irrelevant to the mission and would waste a precious commodity known as time. However, he did take note of the heat did render the X body-less, but only after he pasted them into the walls and floor; for the heat would incinerate the particles. In short, what he was doing was indeed helping, but if he were there earlier and had a better grasp on these creatures, they may have well been to the next room. Yet, the nature of the mission did require caution. At the very least... He know how to handle these so called... "Zombies".

"New Directive: Splash and Burn. Due to the on the 'Fly' nature of this tactic... paste them like I have, then burn the remains. If the Parasite has no host body, it must retreat. Seeing as we have no other way of securing the sectors, this is the only viable strategy we have when dealing with these at present. I will go with Zen forward and reduce them to paste... Your flames will not scorch more than the vanity fabric on me... Which you will compensate me for the event you burn it off... Is this tactic clear?" Cassius was only partially joking about the fabric... But the tactic should have been sound. "Alright, move on me." The Tribunal took lead with Zen moving ahead, for he knew Zen would have better reflexes in the event he needed to defend the Tribunal. At current, Cassius had no way of addressing their individual ammo situations... What was he supposed to say? "Make every shot count." ?

As before, Cassius took a few careful shots to down the "Zombies", which was effortless enough. He took his time moving down with Zen, mostly due to the nature of not wanting to be clumsy and fall into an even worse situation.

Metroid: Final Protocol

The Tribunal made note of all accounts before hearing gunshots, rather loud ones at that. He picked up his gauss rifle and gave a nod to the others near him. "I recommend you cover the rear, I need to stay in the middle for support purposes, at the very least, none of you are in harms way... That, and if Vale pulled a muscle, from there she will not cause too much stress before I can properly do anything about it." With that, he made his way out of the room before going to attend to the perimeter checkies.

Quickly, he began to scan them... There was no proper name for them; but these abominations were once human. He felt pity... Not really. Just saw them as victims of circumstances. Moving to the left most wall where he could see past Kaze and David, he shot the furthest one from where he was standing. The result was just a creamy mess on the wall. Probably nasty for the weak stomach, but he felt nothing in regards to it. Taking another shot... And another -- it was like he was on Auto Pilot from here. It was just another target. 6....7...8... all the way 13. They were just becoming creamy paste.

Saturday is my 23rd Birthday, so don't expect a post from me till after.

Metroid: Final Protocol

Due to Cas' unique position, he is basically a last post type character in some of these situations. So just waiting on Vale to act.

Final Fantasy XIV: Everdusk

Metroid: Final Protocol

I'm mostly asking if we should expect tight corridors at any point.

Mostly for tension reasons. XD

Mostly because slow targets are not a threat if you can walk around them.
But the threat is more real in a enclosed space, especially when you basically have shield HP to consider.

Sorry, I'm just used to writing horror to really pit characters in harder situations.

Metroid: Final Protocol

I feel like we should establish how narrow these hallways or rooms are, if we give a sense of claustrophobia, it basically gives the sense of
"Do I want to risk taking a hit, or losing the energy of my shield, or should I run past it?" Because killing everything probably isn't the most advisable.

Like usual, given Cas' role, I'll be the last to post.
