HanomaiMuch of the evening and extending into the night was spent in the Cafeteria, the squad coming together even outside of the mission to eat and talk with one another. Though they were not at the same table, quite a few questions, or insults, were flung from across the room. Even Leinhart joined in a few times even though none of the squad tried to get buddy buddy with him other than Golem. As they started to finally wind down, the food comas starting to take their effect, they made the trek through the snow and to the barracks, where they found their way into their bunks and called it a night. The barracks were large, with beds lining the walls with privacy curtains around them. Various nick-nacks from their previous lives or ones that they picked up in their new lives were on small shelves above their beds or on a chest of drawers. Some simply fell in their bunks and were fast asleep, others stayed awake for a while longer, reading, making a report, or even flirting and making small talk. All gave way to the allure of sleep within time.

5:00AM sharp in the morning, they were woken up by the sound of a trumpet. More than a few sprang up out of bed, their training kicking in, ready to kill. Andrew and Ginger even slugged each other, nearly knocking each other out then coming to their senses before they did knock one another out. Commander of the fort, Richard Hammond, dressed in a dark gray trenchcoat and a matching sergeants cap. He stepped into the barracks and into the light. His dark gray slacks and black combat boots were highlighted underneath his black shirt underneath, covered with pins that showed his service and combat ribbons. His voice was gutteral, like nails on a chalkboard, but loud. He was confident and proud of his position, just from his voice alone. "Eagle Claw, before you begin your day, you are all to come with me immediately." The squad wasted no time looking among each other. Whether they were displeased with not getting their sleep or annoyed with their commander's orders, they followed him out of the barracks. He lead them two by two across the base to an area near the gate to a field outside that they used for training.
Opening the gate and heading out into the snow, they came upon a line of troopers with bullet-based rifles. Five of them in total. There was a gravestone and a picture of Phoenix leaning against it.
The funeral was short, kept to around fifteen minutes. No tears were shed publicly for the boy, the squad maintaining their visage of stone cold warriors. On the inside, they may or may not have been different. Sebastian shed a tear internally for the boy, he did not deserve death. When the funeral was finished and the troopers had fired their rifles, they walked away to continue their day. Some of the squad returned to bed while others went to the Cafeteria for an early day. The sight that Andrew and Whisper walked into was not a pretty one. A table full of food and a deathclaw on one side, tearing it apart like it was a fat brahmin with two calfs in it's stomach. It was horrifying seeing what Leinhart could do to a turkey. The two backed up and held the door shut. Golem walked up and tried to answer, but they shook their heads, Andrew saying to come back in an hour as there is a feast being eaten by one person in there and it was nasty.

Busy busy busy. So nice to be writing on a deep level again.

Those that have RP'd with me lately, please take a gaze at my Bio. I finally got around to updating it.
Bio
"I burn endlessly, an intextinguishable inferno within the depths of a storm of passion and grace." Septimus Aureous, Captain of the Turian Frigate: Elysium
I've been roleplaying and writing for a little over half my life, and I'm 22. If I come across as cynical, picky, overly willing to write a huge CS, very inquisitive, and even ready to drop an RP out of nowhere, I apologize. I've seen way too many RPs look good only to end up smashing face first into the dirt with almost no explanation to it. I tend to see an impending crash coming from a mile away and will jump ship long before the water reaches my feet.
I enjoy most genres, including Sci-fi, Fantasy, Magic-fantasy, fandom-reworks, modern, sci-fantasy, and most things under the sun. No. I'm not going to partake in highschool or pony or anime roleplays. Outside of those, I tend to take a part in most of what peaks my interest or curiosity.
I am currently involved in an RP surrounding the exploits of the Crimson Dusicyon and her pirate crew.
As well as continuing the adventures of the manic crew of the harpoon in an infinite quest for dat poon tang.
I am currently working on several short stories that I tend to flip back and forth on depending on where I'm leaning.
I'm working on a story involving an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper trapped beneath a hundred kilos of rubble and, with her life mere hours away from being extinguished, she lets her mind wander to her past and her experiences with the dangerous anti-UNSC terrorists. I've taken to call this: Halo ODST: Rebellion.
I am also working on my most deeply thought out world and story: Sonnet of a Damned Cowboy. A story taking place hundreds of years in the future, where the earth is a barren desert due to the earth being cooked alive. The survivors make their own stories as they drive huge caravans of huge mechs called Lancers and deliver supplies from one town to another.
Finally, I am working on a Fallout based story taking place in the frozen north of Canada, old survivors of the Enclave's oppression struggle to survive in the relentless cold. Battle hardened, tired, and cold. They all know that the smallest of mistakes in the frozen wastes will be almost certain death.
Enjoy your day!

...Yeah, whatever. I personally hate it because I can't use it on my computer (because its a piece of crap) so I constantly use my phone. Hell, I'm currently on my phone. Everything I've done here is thanks to the glorious Apple company. I don't like pirate pad because I have to keep reloading the page. Remember when I kept re-logging during the famous Chase Collab? Pirate Pad kept closing when I exited the browser.
Well that's your fault for using Apple :P
There are a couple browsers on the Android Market. They probably have ports on the Shit Apple market somewhere. I know that there are a few that let you have multiple tabs.
I do admit though, when multiple people are posting in the chat, you have to reload and let the messages get backed up. But that's like once a half-hour or so.
Starting today, we'll be sharing our Pirate Pad with Exoria: A Galaxy on the Verge of Corruption. Treat them with the same respect you have for each other.
Post ETA: Now. It's small, but it does as intended.

As much as I want to tell you to take that link down, I really don't like having all of our collabs over pirate pad. I feel like it was WAY over used in the old RP, so I've had a bit of a negative outlook on it. I can't prevent others from using it, but I have to ask that we PLEASE consider the fact we went Collab-happy in the old RP, and the site is here for a reason.With that being said, I wanted to know how we wanted to continue the chapter. So, we'll win the race, go to Rectja's palace, kill his fat ass(?) and fly off the world. Anything else we want to figure out?
In my experience, that both Pyro and Gravity can attest to, being readily able to post a collab via PP and have instant messaging communication does wonders. Not EVERY post has to be collab, it's up to the author. Not to mention that it's more reliable than RPG's posting box. Posting OOC won't be out of the question, not only for announcements, but more serious discussion (For record's sake), CSs, and those times when PP goes down.

I know you don't mean it like that, but I may have interpreted it like that. Look, I don't want this to die just as much as everyone else, and maybe I haven't been the best GM since the crash, but I'd still prefer NOT having another OoC made when I spent so much time on this one and the old one. Vash, you're a great CO-GM and I know you wouldn't steal my ideas or "make them better", but please don't get pissed when I say that making a new OoC is like giving me a swift, painful kick in the nuts. I've replied to the Collab with Sov and he should e posting it today. I'll also have Maarcuu post (nobody complain that it sucks, I have very little to work with since somebody sent me to a pit of non-postage because the info he could have learned is info we'll already get from Valentine), but I know disappearing and not posting is bullshit. I'd just prefer that I maintain control and everything goes back to normal, WITHOUT any more thoughts of taking full-GM for this.Trust me, my ideas can't really be described properly, so we'll just have to go with them and see how they work with me as the GM. Agreed?
Agreed.
But in the future, fricken keep people informed about things going on. Everybody is still invited to my Pirate Pad, I'll designate a small area for Exoria. Use it. Each of our posts being collab in a tiny form (Somebody makes a large posts, happens to involve talking with somebody, the person being talked to can throw in the response, the author moves on easily.) isn't going to hurt anything. When we were doing collabs, so much got one it was ridiculous and it was fun. https://www.piratepad.ca/p/Eagle_Point_Cafeteria

Take this the wrong way... Well how the fuck am I supposed to take it the RIGHT way, Vash? This is basically saying "Hey, Sora! Great job at giving us an amazing RP idea and a universe to deal with, but we don't like you anymore so FUCK YOU, I'm taking over! Oh, by the way, give me your ideas and I'll do them 100% better then you could ever hope for!"Seriously? I'm gone for a while, come back, work on a reply, and THIS is what I get? Dude... Uncool
You of all people you know that I'm not the kind of person to take bullshit. Did I state that I was going to steal your ideas and do them 100% better? No. Did I say I didn't like you? No. Sick of waiting and seeing something that I love go stagnate and die because of one person's inactivity.

HEY! Don't make that OoC! I swear to god, that'll piss me the fuck off.And the collabs nearly done, just wait a few hours. We're doing one more reply and then Sov is gonna post it. In the meantime, lets discuss overthrowing me and betraying the very guy who created this idea. He wouldn't like that.... At. All.
It's not an overthrowing and it's not meant to offend you. Just god damn keep people informed instead of stacking waiting upon waiting. It's bullshit and you know it.
Current project: Making another OOC.
Sorry Sora, not sure about everybody else, but my patience o' meter has hit it's max. If you want to join in, you're welcome to. We're coming onto 3 weeks without an IC post. Come on.
Sov and fab, do me a favor, please? Send me a pm with plot ideas and junk that you may or may not have. Since none of us are sure where things are going because of Sora's absence, we get to create one ourselves! Yaaaay. This time with more progression, yay! We'll keep the basis of a great plague (/corruption) that is literally tainting the cosmos with it's tainty-ness. We'll also skip ahead to the race and everything, Noki will be okay, the princess will be there, lookin' sexy.
We can either use Fallout: Rebirth of the Enclave's Eagle Point Cafeteria (Pirate Pad located here) to talk with one another, or I can create a new one. Not just for collabs, but just to make it easier to speak with one another. I have an alternate set up as well incase PP goes down, which happens a lot actually.
OOC should go up tonight or tomorrow. Not sure, have a list of things to do this week.
Please don't take it the wrong way, Sora. We love Exoria and we want to see it continue. It's survived the first fall of RPG, it deserves to live on, not die due to waiting for a single collab.

Pyro, I'mma post and skip us to the next day.
Also, a post will probably come from me tomorrow at some point instead of tonight. My brain is just wiped today.
