The sun is shining, the birds are singing, there's a few white fluffy clouds in the sky. I am closing the curtains and going back to bed.

Bio

I live somewhere in the wilds of East London with a couple of friends, a pet rat and a collection of RPG books that is slowly consuming our house. I've suggested possibly getting rid of some of them, but it's pretty much got to the point where the books are the only thing keeping the building upright and if I move any of them the whole thing could come crashing down.

In terms of games - well, I'll consider anything, except that. As can probably be gathered from my posts, I find myself generally playing characters that let me bit a little bit light-hearted. I am reasonably certain that I can play serious characters, but I know that getting to post things which makes me chuckle as I write them keeps me far more engaged. I like fandom-y things (because I can't, apparently, still get enough Undertale, Adventure Time and various Nintendo stuff, good job brain), and non-fandom-y things, and will one day get around to rebooting a RP I'd made on here seven years ago.

Quick question: Has Team 1 gone through the portal yet? Or are they still in the castle?


I had - perhaps wrongly! - assumed that Crash was by the teleporter when he introduced himself, but if I managed to get the wrong end of the stick there, I'll gladly go back and change things!
Quina is on one of the teams. Specifically Crash's. So the thing continues on with it's quest to prove it's...hungry?


And to discover brand new things to eat, including "rocks", "sand", "sentient creatures" and maybe a hitherto undiscovered type of sandwich. It also helps that "Friend Ezio" was assigned to Team One too.

Quina watched the door of the Council Room slam closed in front of him, or her, and stood there patiently for a few moments. This was clearly some sort of mistake on the part of the Hair Force man, Guile, a case of mistaken identity perhaps. Or a misunderstanding about the food, perhaps the expectation was to make sure there was enough for everyone? Perhaps they were planning a surprise party, and Guile didn't want to ruin it? All of these ideas simmered in Quina's mind while she, or he, stood in front of the locked door, expectantly waiting for it to open up.

Then it dawned on him, or her, what was going on. Slowly, Quina turned around to look at the reception hall. Even after the food fight, the little green-haired creatures work had made sure that there was plenty of food left over. Without saying a word, Quina waddled over to the nearest table, and began to eat. With the room to him, or herself, there was nobody to say stop, there was nobody to say no, there was simply endless tables of food to indulge. Some of the beleaguered Lemming servants began tidying up the Hall, and Quina shooed them away whenever they got too close. An unspoken agreement was made, and a few of the little green haired, blue-robed things stood near Quina with their arms outstretched, turning away any of their fellows that get too close with a shake of their head.




With breakfast and the briefing in the other room now concluded, Quina got up from his, or her, seat at one of the now empty tables and quietly followed along behind the others as they went over to the teleporters. By remaining as quiet as can be, Quina hoped to blend in with the others, being rather curious to see what it was that he, or she, missed. Like the others, Quina received a shot, after seeing the rest of the gathered heroes receive them with varying amounts of bravery. Quina continued to just follow along, right up to the threshold of the outgoing warp portal; some seemed to step through without a second thought, others stood right on the very precipice of adventure. Including a floating, talking mask. That was interesting.

"Hello Aku-Aku, and Orange Crash and Slayer," Quina looked rather excited by this turn of events, the confusion over the being-thrown-out-of-the-meeting thing now just a poorly recalled memory buried under a layer of cake and soup, "am Quina, this is Friend Ezio..."

Quina gestured, with a gloved hand, to her (or his) side, where Quina had expected Ezio to be. It took a few seconds for Quina to realise that Ezio wasn't by his (or her) side and then, with eyes widening, Quina glanced around, trying to spot the assassin to no avail. This wasn't too surprising, as not only would Ezio be more than capable of blending into a group to not be easily seen, but Quina hadn't seen him since getting thrown out of the Council Room.

"...Ezio hiding. We go on expedition," Quina continued, changing subjects as more ideas pressed themselves against his (or her) mind. Looking from the mask, to the brightly coloured creature, to the older looking gentleman with a pipe, it was clear from Quina's expression that he, or she, had absolutely no idea what was going on. Then again, Quina always sort of looked like that, it was sometimes hard to tell.

"Expedition?"
1. What program did you use?
2. Did you paint it from scratch, use effects filters on existing art, or other?
3. What is the art "type" called again? I forget and shit. Lol.


1. GIMP. I'm absolutely one hundred percent certain that there's better programs out there, but GIMP does a fair amount of stuff, I can wrangle it to do more, and it's free.

2. Existing art, I'm afraid. At some point, I'll doodle our collective exploits. The "process", if you can call it that, was to take the various images, reduce them down to two colours using GIMP's threshold tool, make a mask out of that and then start colouring it in. Once that's done, they all get put into a new image in their own layers, and you just sort of start putting them in different places until you go "aha!" and are happy with the layout.

3. I have no idea! I shall christen it "First Thing In The Morning Art".
But yeah I'll keep you, and anyone else who decides they want in, posted about the OOC


Thanks! Hopefully we can drum up some extra interest once everyone's done with the holiday season and come out of hibernation!


Right, back to making food.
I didn't plan on getting the OOC up until a few days anyhow.


Thank goodness! Well, I shall keep an eye out for the OOC and think about character ideas while swearing at my misbehaving oven.
Soooooooo any takers?


Yes!

Although I'm not going to be about much over the next few days, thanks to visiting family and the like, but once I've got through that - yes! I'm interested!
@HylozoistQuina is about to have the pleasure of being thrown out of the meeting and another character that cares will have to brief it on what it missed lol.


I feel like getting left behind and then turning up a little later on, somewhere else entirely, with next to no explanation of how he/she got there is rather thematically correct for Quina.

Edit: Also, I think I mentioned this earlier, but I'm probably not going to be posting much over the next few days due to a contractual obligation to spend time with family members and, in a case of life imitating art, eating way too much food. I don't think anyone's currently waiting on a post from me, so I think I'm in the clear on that front. If Quina's going to get thrown out of the meeting, I trust @Holy Soldier to portray Quina's reaction to such a thing in their post if it helps keep things moving along - I don't want things slowing to a crawl waiting for me over the weekend!

Spurred on by the threat of Guile losing his temper, and only slightly disappointed at not being able to get the fluffy cream on Ezio's robe, Quina quickly re-tied his/her bib, pulled on the mostly clean overcoat and set about loading a plate with as much food as a plate could theoretically support. With the aid of some carrot sticks, the plate itself was extended to nearly double it's size, and a rudimentary wall made of mushrooms held together with garlic sauce extended the carrying capacity of the plate even further. There was no semblance of order to the food that disappeared into the plate-turned-bucket, with strata of sugary-sweet pudding resting atop a layer of roasted parsnips, sandwiched between a leafy green salad and a selection of cheeses. Cut open, it'd look like the fevered nightmare of a chef who had begun dabbling in geology. Topped with a flourish of parsley leaves, this horrific culinary construction teetered about precariously as Quina trundled along towards the Council Room.

"No need worry, Friend Ezio, enough food here for Special Chef and Friend Ezio and Qui-"

Quina stopped talking to pay attention as she (or he) shuffled past Guile, studiously avoiding making eye contact with the gruff looking military man in favour of keeping an eye on the wobbling, wavering top of the food tower. A few of the mushrooms were beginning to bulge out as the garlic sauce mortar strained to hold the thing together. Picking up the pace a little, Quina rushed - well, waddled as quickly as he or she could - to the side of Samus and, with a final heaving sound, places the food-tower down on the table. Barring an earthquake, an accident or a vengeful god striking down the tower to punish Quina's hubris, the tower was safe.

"Oh, look, glowy thing," Quina peered up at the idly spinning holographic cube, and, looking for somebody to share in the enjoyment and admiration of such a thing, Quina waves up towards Samus, "see glow thing too? You looking too, yes?"
