Bio

Well now that I got the customary "post once" requirement out of the way....

HELLO

Welcome to my safe space. Well, about as safe as one space can be, I guess. If you are here looking for something, I am very sorry to disappoint you, but I made fresh cookies! Come sit a spell.

I guess I'll do some more in-depth stuff about myself. My name is Nick and I am 33 years old living in Illinois. I am a therapist and clinical responder (which is a fancy way of saying I go out on police calls to provide mental health assistance). Been doing therapy for a few years now and I absolutely love it!

I am a gay, cisgender man. I came out last year in January (smack dab in the middle of a pandemic. Timing was always my downfall). There is still much I am learning, but I am proud and happy to be who I really am and not have to hide it anymore!

I am an avid gamer, especially roleplaying games (cue surprised and shock noises). I also enjoy writing and reading, especially mysteries. I am not new to roleplay, I promise. I have been doing it for years now in different formats. I am experienced, even if it doesn't seem like it.

I use humor as a coping mechanism for sure, but I also like laughing and enjoying myself. Life can be pretty sad and upsetting for the most part and I don't want to add to it.

Whew! That got deep!

I will be poking my nose around in spaces and hoping to jump headfirst into this. Some interests I have in terms of roleplay settings include superheroes, DnD, science fiction/fantasy, mysteries, thrillers, horror stuffs, apocolypse, and espionage. And I am a fan of most things pop culture. If you have any suggestions or possible roleplays you think I would love, please let me know.

Otherwise, stick around! This is gonna get wild!

This was all a bit much. And Perry felt her regular 'can-do' spirit wasn't going to get them through this. Perry knew about the Phoenix Force, what mutant hadn't? She never knew the extent of it. And from the sounds of it, Mary was both in danger and a danger to others. If Lance is to be believed Mary had some alternate identity that was cause for concern.

She really wanted to be thrilled to be going to New Orleans but she knew hero work came before beignets and gumbo. "I'll admit I don't know much about the Phoenix and all the inner workings, but I keep hearing emotions in this conversation. That's something I do have experience in. Unsure how I can help but I'll do all I can."

The tension in the room was thick. Everyone was questioning or asking what to do. Would they be able to help Mary or was this a case of putting a mutant down for the greater good?
Fleur could tell the man was humoring her, which was fine. People at the end of their life believed little in what was in store for them, despite it being equally as important as a young child. After all, one could still do great works at an old age or prevent catastrophe if they knew they could.

As they walked, Fleur focused her mind and recalled her gifts. This was her area of expertise after all. "Ah yes, Lionhart. Known for being strong in the face of adversity and not backing down. Be wary, Mr. Kittyborough, I see some hurdles blocking your path to your next goal, however small it may be. Your fortitude will be questioned, but so long as you follow your guiding principle, you shall persevere."

Fleur was happy to read the good fortunes, it was the bad ones that left a weird taste in her mouth. Still, wasn't it better to know something bad was going to happen so you can prepare for it?

They reached a crossroads and the man looked at her expectantly. She gave him a warm smile, hoping this journey will be at an end soon.

It seemed the movies didn't always lie as the whole "is somebody here a doctor" bit proved true. The man was getting care which left her to see if she can make it home to avoid whatever the hell was going on in the city. Moving body bags and collapsing diner patrons. Perhaps it was a viral outbreak? Just her luck to be in a city where walking down the street put you nearby potentially thousands of people.

Before she could get up and move the doctorlooked at her, requesting more ice. Figures. Ask the two women nearby on a fetch quest. Verity fought an eye-roll, knowing it was going to help the man burning up. She stood up and faced Kali. "Shall we go fetch ice for our doctor friend here?" It was rhetorical and Verity waited for the girl to move. After all, Verity wasn't sure where one got ice in places like this.

Fleur gave a warm smile despite her insides churning. While grateful for the elderly man's help she could not help but feel she walked on to a bear trap and would maybe have to chew off her own foot if she hoped to live. The man seemed like a nice guy, but Fleur has had experiences with "nice guys" before.

"Oh thank you sir. I will gladly receive your aid. Perhaps I can read your fortune as favor?" Perhaps if she could control the conversation it would mean peaceful travel.

I am fine with the pacing, but I would not be opposed to extending it to 3 days if that makes it easier for people.
Shoulda stuck with Fleur y'all

Perry pouted for approximately 2 minutes before she pulled herself together. She really wanted to finish the game, but the work of a hero was never done, it seemed. She followed the others as Mira ended the program and Max summoned a portal to the War Room that was a literal hop, skip, and jump away from them. It was cute he wanted to show off. She followed through the portal, not wanting it to go to waste.

Everyone was making their way, but Perry could feel the tension. The emotions in the room was getting a bit much and she felt a headache coming on. Perry only caught snippets of conversation, including Mardi Gras and Mary. It didn't take a genius to put it together that something was wrong and Mary was in trouble.

"Just once I would love a week where people have their actual poop together. Is that too much to ask? Like I get things are happening every day, but seriously, humanity needs a reboot or something. Control Alt Delete. Alt F5 it. Upgrade to Windows 15 or whatever the new one is. Anyway, I digress, what's going on?"
In my experience, especially tabletop posting RPs, that a few people leave early doors, usually joining out of excitement only to realize they can't commit. So it's not surprising we lost 2 already.
Fleur was beyond delighted to have met a friendly face and one that listened and gave her proper directions. "Oh thank you so much miss. I hope you enjoy your day!" Fleur bid the woman a friendly farewell as they travelled in opposite directions.

The woman's directions were good, though perhaps not the best? Fleur did not expect much initially as humans tended to look at her for two reasons. The woman surprised her. Fleur followed and kept an eye out for the third canal and the trade district. She made it to the bridge before she decided she was lost again. How did one navigate towns like this when you weren't raised here? It boggled the mind.

Still, she was not one to admit defeat so easily. She could find Alandri's place and get there on time, even if she didn't "win the race." She looked around for another friendly face, her eyes landing on an older gentleman who seemed to be enjoying the day. She made her way over, tentatively of course, because even friendly people could turn on an instant.

"Do pardon me sir, but I am a bit lost. I am trying to find Alandri the fisherwoman's place and was pointed in this general direction, but I seem to have gotten a bit jumbled up here. Do you think you can point me in the right direction please? I would be grateful."
