When I'm in a roleplay, I tend to stick around. I don't just leave. I've only left a roleplay once, and that was because I didn't feel welcomed and didn't feel like I was being interacted with in the IC, much less the OOC.


Same here. I've only left one group RP and one 1x1 partner. The partner was because it became painfully apparent that we were not looking for the same things by the time post five rolled around. The group was actually for one of the things that @NuttsnBolts mentioned. The GM let anybody and everybody who applied join and after a few days we had 20+ characters. I went to work one day and came home to an entire page of posts. There was an explosion of activity thanks to a handful of players. A lot of us left in the first week because it became impossible to keep up with and inadvertently pressed an intimidating if not impossible post quota.

TL;DR When posting gets too fast I get scared and run away to cry in a corner.
RAIN! SWEET BEAUTIFUL RAIN! *rolls around outside in a puddle*

How's the weekend treating everyone?
I'm going though some personal stuff at the moment, and I'm just too exhausted at the moment. I'll post tomorrow.

I'm sorry if I'm holding anyone up.


Like Voltus and Nuts said, hope you get better. Get some rest, alright :)
"Right..." Quin narrowed her eyes as she watched Zen run away into the darkened factory. It took her a few moments to process what exactly he had said to her. Everything happened so fast with that man.

"Wait! Wait a minute! What?," she shook her head before turning to Nyrette, "Is he being serious right now? Do you think we should go help? ... Or go watch?"




He inhaled sharply and crouched low. Unlike Cheshik, he had not found cover. No he was too busy making a stupid face and being stunned by the reality of suddenly being faced by the one thing on this planet that had made him nervous about being here from the get go. Of course, Iisska should have expected this by now. No matter where they went trouble would inevitably follow. As was life.

The HK came up on him like a freighter. Iisska waited for the very last second to snap off the ground and roll out of reach. He landed on his feet with a hand on the ground and his back to a piece of towering rusted machinery. The HK didn't miss a step and turned on him instantly. He drew his blaster with his free hand. A deafening discharge echoed through the sprawling room after a brilliant blast that could have ripped a human nearly in half erupted from the blaster. The HK was struck in the shoulder and was thrown off balance. It wheeled in a circle from the force of the shot and hunched for a few seconds. A dark smoking blemish was the only visible damage. It locked its gaze back on its prey and lunged.

"Fuck," Iisska whispered.

A metallic boom and screech filled the room next. The HK hit the machinery with such violent speed it practically embedded its body into it. Black ooze drooled out of the equipment and pooled on the floor. The assassin quickly peeled itself from the jagged embrace to find it was empty handed. Iisska touched down hard on the second floor catwalk after throwing himself headlong across the corner of the room with an impressive force jump. The rough landing left him on all fours and sheered a dozen or more bolts off. The walkway sagged, suspenders snapped and supports groaned. The noises had the force user up and on the move quickly albeit clumsily.

"Ha! Keep up with that, Rusty!" Iisska yelled.

He expected to see the HK trying to come at him again, but several more shots from Cheshik's gun erupted into the side of the droid's head. It didn't waste time. Now it was turned on the Trandoshan and no amount of cover would stop it.

"Nnggguh, no! No! Bad!" Iisska started stammering.

He stopped and aimed carefully before trying to shoot the damn thing down once more. Heavy fire struck around it and into its torso and legs, but barely did anything but stagger it and slow it down.

"Cheshik, move!"

Another screech of metal and the walkway fell out from under him completely.
*Jumps on the dialogue colors bandwagon*

We will be doing far more than just "touching down, Carson thought among all the yelling.

With the change of plans she started barking orders once more, "Get me a maintenance report and try to get this smoke cleared! Prepare a second ground team to secure the areas around the landing site as soon as we are down! We will need a foothold to take the rest of the city from. I need sharpshooters on all sides! Nobody comes within two hundred meters of this ship, is that clear?"

The woman leaned with both hands on the control panel between two officers. As they descended and the flak cleared and more of the city came into detail she searched frantically for any sign of this landing pad Faulkner said he had cleared for them. There was the inactive AA gun up on the screen, but where... Carson couldn't help but notice a rather wide and very long main street flanked by low rise buildings leading to a huge plaza under the shadow of the gun. Not a landing pad. A street. No anti-gravity suspension, no holding field, no magnetic locks. Just a God damned street.

A question that had never occurred to her before crept to the forefront of her thoughts: How does one "land" an airship? The navigators must have seen it too. The fact that the ship was lining up with this makeshift runway did not escape her attention. She found herself gripping the sides of the panel until her knuckles turned white.

"Boys," she called up to the bridge again, all the while watching the ground come closer and closer, "I have concerns. Many of them." @Penultimate_Pi
*gets to work on trying to sneak a post in before Vash does* >.> Probably gonna be short and maybe not entirely necessary, but I'm enjoying the shenanigans too much.
Posted. I hope I'm nailing Grissom correctly for you, @Vash.


GOOOOORRRHHEEEHOOO HO HO HO HO HO *gigglesnort*

@Vash Noted! Good post btw.

Also, the prodigal, inactive son returns. I'll be more active on this thread from now on. I've been preoccupied with work and one of my personal projects, but I'm a "responsible adult" and remembered that this is important to me and you guys too.

Vash edit: I was logged into DT's computer and miss responsible adult forgot to log out. :P


Stop logging in on my computer >:C
"We are not going to blow up everything," Gerlach purred at Greyson over the comm, "Just raising a spot of hell and getting attenti--"

The woman was rocked off her feet and nearly sent toppling to her hands and knees when the ship was thrown violently to the side. Klaxon horns and red lights began to go off. She righted herself quickly and steadied as the navigators took the ship out of range of the guns. Their own ordinance was quieting as the gunners took the maneuver as a chance to reload and get ready for the next blitz, but there was panic over communications. Something about smoke and one of the engines but Gerlach was having a hard time getting anything useful out of the chatter. One thing was for sure; that mechanical howl from the depths of the ship was wrong.

"Quirke!" she snapped into her headset, "What is your situation? What did they hit?"

There was no response.

"Quirke!"

She could feel the ship slowing down and what was left of the engines turning over at a much higher RPM. Another blast of flack struck the ship. This time blowing through two ports where Vulcans were bolted. The guns and their crews were torn apart. Shrapnel ripped through the battery, ricocheted dangerously off the interior and embedded itself into equipment, walls and people.

"Damn it all!" Gerlach cursed and barked at one of the men on deck, "Get someone working on those guns and then get up to the engine rooms and find out what the hell is going on!"

"Johannes, Grissom! I've lost contact with--" she began to call up to navigation but was interrupted.

"Sir! Outside!"

Carson's eyes shot up to the display where a single little marker popped up on something falling and falling fast. It looked identical to when the ground team had made their descent. She ground her teeth together.

"Is that..." she didn't need to ask, "Son of a bitch! Navigation, it seems our engineer has gone AWOL. I had hoped that our orders to fight to the death wouldn't become quite so pressing, but we're ready to make another pass when you are."
