Bio

A writer, artist, animator, worldbuilder. In short, jack of all trades, master of some.

For the most part, I've retired from roleplaying. For quite a long time, what kept me tied to RPG was the Spam community—but even that I have distanced myself from. Now, my focus is on the writing contests.

I consistently try to write reviews for RPGC, and I consistently enter the Twelve Labours.

First labour; world of Archipelago, Jack.
Challenge: an unwelcome death.
For next entry: characterization.

Second labour; world of Uberpowered, Émile.
Challenge: an unfortunate fortune.
For next entry: pacing.

Third labour; world of Cinderlore, Caerys.
Challenge: an unforgiving ambition.
For next entry: proofreading.

Fourth labour; world of Supers, Joshua.
Challenge: an uncompromising betrayal.
For next entry: development.

Fifth labour; world of Mutamorphis, Olrich.
Challenge: an unrepressed motive.
For next entry: development, dammit.

Sixth labour; world of Mythos, Melas.
Challenge: an untenable alliance.
For next entry: dénouement.

Seventh labour; world of Hatemongers, Talahn.
Challenge: an unbearable sacrifice.
For next entry: cast utilization.

For next entry: plot cohesion.

Ninth labour; world of Nardja, Albiorn.
Challenge: an unknowing accomplice.
For next entry: narrative set-up.

Tenth labour; world of Magestones, Ariana.
Challenge: an unwilling inspiration.
For next entry: narrative set-up, dammit.

You got one point less than me, but so far I am the naughtiest female in this thread.


Ah, I was wondering about that.

I couldn't imagine what sort of offense he'd post that he'd edit it out near instantly!
They typically—at least in my experience—like to test people out for three weeks. Those first three weeks are when they decide whether or not to keep you, and so is the best time to show one thing in particular, and that is effort.

If you're a little unskilled at first, that's normal. You just have to show that you'll do your best to get past that point of being unskilled.

I've trained a lot of dishwashers since I started at my workplace, and I can tell you, almost all the people we didn't keep after the three weeks were the people who were just going through the motions, not really trying, just doing. Gotta be constantly at it, keep working till the jobs done, and then see if there's another job you can do. Some workplaces value speed, others quality, but you should expect to not be the best on your first day.

Like mdk said, they look for potential, and you need to show that by demonstrating that you are focused and looking for improvement.

Have fun!

It bugs me a ton that a city literally called 'Three Rivers' does not border a single river.


Maybe they're referring to the three rivers pointing at it, though some distance away?

Or maybe the rivers dried!

I dunno, but my Mom comes from there, so that city better stay safe, yo.
Last minute is the best minute.

I think I'm gonna have to set a weekly post-date for myself, so that I don't need to stay up so late for nothing. Responsibility, ugh.
Eira Mairwen. Retrieval.


"Understood," she replied to Paris.

Already, she could feel her heart beating. Much like the last mission, they barely had time to position themselves before enemies made their way towards them. How was it that she had chosen this path over that of security work? Fighting criminals who might kill you if caught was one thing, fighting soldiers who'd kill caught or not was a vastly different matter. And now they had made her some sort of specialist? As far as she could tell, she was one of the youngest of the group sent to the fog, just barely out of training.

The rest of them were veterans of many battles across varied terrain, some even from overseas. In what kind of world could she compete?

Why the hell do I do this to myself? She had to get moving.

Following Paris out onto the street, Eira quickly looked around, wanting to choose a good location to hole up in. As the last time, the best place for a big girl like her would be the alleyway—she figured it'd be a bit cramped in the building with her new comrade-in-arms. Paris had said that his drone had only checked the building immediately to their right, and would continue to move East, towards where the gangers were supposedly to approach from. As such, the best place for her would be the alleyway directly East of Paris's new hideout.

Moving across the street, she made her way to the vehicle nearest her planned set up, and crouching down a bit, used her right shoulder to push it up by the alley, at a one-three-five degree angle from the entrance. Not the best cover, but better than nothing.

As soon as that was done, she busted through the fence into the alleyway, quickly scanning it for activity with her guns ready. I hope this place is as empty as it looks.

In the meantime, she had sent her ARMAbot some new directives. In order to both get it out of the rain and check out that reading she'd received moments ago, she ordered it to enter the building from the rear entrance and try to track down the mystery figure. Much as she had troubles of her own fast approaching, she also didn't want to leave the other three members of their little crew helpless.

Clicking on her radio, she messaged Roman. Out of anyone here, he's the one I can trust. She had originally planned on joining the fight against U-ARM, not wanting to have to repeat the choice she'd made with Adam—a choice that ultimately lead to his death. However, Roman had come to see her personally after they'd been debriefed on the missions, and had requested she join him in Retrieval. He'd been promoted, he trusted her, and hell, she trusted him. So naturally, she couldn't refuse.

And so long as she was here to protect him, she was determined to keep him alive.

"Roman," she started. "Someone's entered the first floor. I'm looking into it now, but keep on your toes." And with that she ended the transmission. There was nothing else to say, really—she herself barely knew what to make of this intruder.

96. Do I get a prize?

Kissed a non-family member? It was a dare, I went for the collarbone.
Seen or read pornographic material? Okay, I've done this in full.
Spent the night with a MPS? There were two of them, and three other guys. We do sleepovers like that, sometimes. I didn't sleep anywhere near them, though.
Ingested alcohol in a non-religious context? My cousin tricked me into eating an alcoholic truffle. The quantity of alcohol within was negligible.
