I enjoy the irony that my most judgemental cat prefers me, while most judgemental humans stay away from me.

Bio

Not born in a log cabin, I came into the RPing venture around 2009 and quickly joined about twenty roleplays more than I should have at the time. I've been around the internet in that time span, participated in and run RPs on multiple forums, and brushed shoulders with a wide variety of players and characters. Getting to work with new people has always been part of the allure of the experience.

My interests in RPing are pretty diverse, and not genre-specific; if there's room at the table and I can think of a dish to serve, I'll cook something up for just about any meal. If you know what I mean.

@Polybius @Wayward @vietmyke The OOC is up. You can start working on your character :)


Getting started on it.
What is the policy on NPCs in this? I have another character or two knocking around. But if I can drop them in under NPC status it'll make my life a lot less complicated.
Toni dug her grip more tightly into the seat. Neomi had a point, she knew; if they did stop, assuming they could, they might not last long against so many Rue with so much aggression pressing against the train.

The train rocked violently again. Sparks flew off the tracks, illuminating the gathering darkness of the surrounding Rue. Toni's chest felt ready to explode, and might have when the train's engine was ripped out and flung out along the tracks.

The train came to a hard, grinding stop. Reasserting herself in the wake, she looked to Neomi, who seemed to be the only one other than Yiya that took the harsh stop well enough to get back up. "Are you ok?" she asked, rising up from the seat.

“I…” Neomi took several breaths before looking up at Toni. Her arms were still tightly hugging her backpack. She swallowed before continuing, “I think so. What about you?” Her eyes glanced from Toni to the others. She felt a strong sense of horror. This was not what she was expecting.

Shaking herself off, more so of her remaining nerves than dust, Toni offered Neomi a hand up. "I should be--." A burning feeling began building in her forehead, like having her face held close to a fire. "I'll be fine. Come on; we're better off being on out feet."

Neomi drew in another deep breath and took Toni’s hand. “You’re right… Thanks…—,” Right before she could finish saying anything, Yiya got to her feet and made a bow, along with some sort of goodbye. What?

Just then, a Rue smashed through the train’s doorway, and Neomi screamed. She held her backpack to her face as a feeble attempt to protect herself from the flying wood shards.

“Toni, run! Neomi, protect…”

The Rue’s sharp claws reached out and grabbed Yiya’s head, pressing them into her neck.

Peeking out from behind her backpack, Neomi gasped, again. She couldn’t catch her breath. It was not a time to second guess her decision. However, the thought was insistently trying to bombard her. She wanted to help Yiya, and the thought wasn’t helping.

She was too weak to do anything but run. It made her feel like a coward. She closed her eyes and forced herself to move. “Come on, Toni!”

A heavy horror had filled Toni's heart; the tingling heat in her head seared in a flash of pain that was there and gone in a single instance. When it left all she could see was the mass of shadow encroaching around Yiya. Toni turned to Neomi with a wide gaze. "But Yiya… We can't leave her; we'll be lost without her."

Neomi looked pleadingly at the other girl and began to run. Her feet felt like lead, but somehow, they still moved quickly after Echoh into the next train car. She didn’t want to dare watch as Toni tried to save Yiya and kept her eyes on the moving terrarium — just as instructed.

Neomi turned to follow Echoh; Toni watched as she disappeared into the next car. She was still scared, but tried to steel herself enough to calm down. Slowly, Toni stepped over debris and through a shallow pool of the train driver's blood. She took a smooth, deep breath. "Let her go," she spoke, mostly in stern tone, as though ordering the Rue like a misbehaving child.
I just reckon a tap on the shoulder is good to remind people that this is still going; I can onky ttest that I personally appreciate GMs checking in.

EDIT: posted.
Are real-life images for characters expected?
@Mokley hang tight. @Mole and I are going in on our response together in one post.

Maybe we'll round up the others with a GM tag? I tried to reach out; but I don't think I have the pull that you would as GM.
This is looking like an opportunity to revamp my mage-gunner character.
That's never a good sign...

Now what?


Stall for time and hope they come back soon?
We appear to be short a GM.
Baba O'Reilly


Baba continued to peruse the shop floor as the keeper spoke; she ignored the tome of disdain in Ryker's response. Shrugging, she said, "A little bit of wishful thinking never hurt anyone." Giving another shrug, she veered away from the wears she had been using to front her visit. Ryker had turned around, though Baba had caught his gaze to see he knew she wasn't there for a casual shopping experience. She fell quickly into step behind him and followed into the office.

She leaned her board carefully against the wall behind her and fell into the seat on her side of Ryker's desk. "You know I'm always good to run jobs; just depends on what you've got and what I'm gonna score when it's done." Baba leaned back in the chair, drifting into a more casual mood. She locked eyes with Ryker as he brought up the 'news.'

"Assuming we both got the same four-one-one, yeah. Freebird heard it from some kid over on Vale Court. He had everyone at Home rolling early this morning. Looked like he had most of them out in pairs too. You got any leads on it?"[/color]
