The simple touch of his hand brushing back some of her long blonde locks… Juliette’s cheeks flushed a gentle shade of red at the contact, while her heart fluttered nervously within the very confines of her chest. He was touching her- and it was not out of anger for something she had done, but instead, this was with kindness… with care… There weren’t many on the island apart from her family and her close friends whom treated her with such respect, if any.

Raymond truly was one set above the rest…

Her soft pink lips parting ever so slightly as she felt him neatly tuck the stray strands back behind her ear; Juliette closed her eyes, her cheeks flushing a brighter shade of red as she leant her head lightly into his touch, her cheek rested gently against the palm of his hand- she was losing herself. This was not how a lady was supposed to behave; or at least, this was not how her mother had taught her to act around men.

“..Mr. Rahlei…” Her voice was soft… almost a whisper as she spoke out to him- how had it taken all of this time for the two of them to meet..? Raymond was sweet… he was caring; and though it was something that she didn’t particularly like accepting, he was a man who was willing to help her with anything that she needed… even when she was sure he knew there was no possible way she would ask him for it without a push in the right direction every now and there… he seemed to want to be there for her, “..you make me nervous…”

The sound of his soft chuckle filled the air, causing her soft pink lips to part ever so slightly as she let her eyes open once more, the beautiful (though ever unseeing) blue iris’ staring up in the direction that she could hear his voice… feel his warm breath upon her skin…

“I could say the same for you, Miss. Morrison… to have such a beauty like you pay any attention to someone such as me..?”

“..ah… my heart feels light at your words; you flatter me.” Unable to hide the gentle blush of red that crossed her cheeks at his words, Juliette lowered her gaze, allowing it to linger where she believe his chest to be before she spoke again, the native tongue of their people flowing naturally from her lips unlike the stranger tongue that was passed down to them by their ancestors who had risked all to have a chance of seeing that which was unknown to them, “..truly, Mr. Rahlei, there are others upon this island who are far more beautiful than I…”

“And yet, here I stand, speaking to you; the one who has caught my eye.”

“..Raymond-…” Her voice cut off by the excited and ever growing sounds of the crowd filling the bar around them- something had happened; something was going on… and whatever it was, it seemed that it was something big. Was that..? The voices of the crowd; there were just so many of them, and it seemed as though they were all speaking about the same thing: a flying machine.

The sound of shattered glass was lost to the bar as the bottle of beer she had been holding onto slipped from her grasp, breaking apart on impact with the ground as she was jostled about, each push and shove causing her to move about until eventually, she felt a strong pair of arms wrapping around her person, pulling her close and shielding her as those in the bar hurried to catch even a glimpse of what it was that was coming their way- whatever this flying machine was, it had everyone they knew scrambling in excitement and fear.

“Raymond! Raymond, confound it, where are you? Juliette!”

The familiar voice could barely be heard over the commotion of the crowd, though it was clear that someone was looking for them. Shutting her eyes again, Juliette dropped her head down, resting it against Raymond’s chest as she waited, feeling as though she were safe from whatever it was that was coming their way, “..Raymond… what is it..? I don’t understand what’s going on…”

“Shh… it’s okay, Juliette. Everything will be okay… Collin..! Collin; we’re over here..!”

@Mercenary Lord; I'm halfway through a post, I'll finish it and post it up once I wake up in the morning though, if that's okay..? I'm struggling to stay awake...

@Sodomite; if you want information on the assignments so we can co-ordinate, the all you need to do is PM me. I haven't writtwn the details of them out in IC yet because of the simple fact that only two people have actually responded.

@BlackPanther -pokes back- o:

▲ OVERWATCH: A New Era. ▼ (Overwatch Roleplay)

I have posted all..!!

Just letting you know now (so that there are no arguments or anything of the sort) but when it comes to assignments, I DO NOT PICK WHO GOES ON WHICH MISSION. Hahaha; to make it fair for all, what I have done is put the names of each and every character affiliated with the Overwatch organization into an app which then chooses the names at random. This continues until all places on the missions have been filled up..!

Just thought I would let you all know, this way, you know how things are being handed out :'3

“..no, I will not excuse you...”

Returning the spoon to the depths of the yogurt container, Angela placed it down upon the kitchen counter, her gaze once more lifting up to meet with that of the man she had been speaking with- the man who, until a few moments ago, had been asking her for an assignment she had been more than willing to give… all she had wanted in return was his council… This wasn’t the first time he had just up and left after receiving a message on his communicator, and she was sure it wasn’t going to be the last time; but either way, she was getting sick and tired of it happening.

“..I will not excuse you; nor will I excuse this behaviour…” Pausing a moment, Angela let her words to him hang in the air before she gave any sign that she was going to continue, doing her best to make it clear to all that this type of behaviour wasn’t going to be doing them any favors in the long run as she seemed to finally put her foot down, “..I will not stop you from leaving Genji; do what it is you think is best, however, you best be ready for the ramifications that come with walking out…”

She was done; clearly, with everything that had been happening. And hell, he wasn’t even the only one that it was happening with- truly, when was the last time she’d even had the pleasure of seeing Reinhardt with her own two eyes..? The people within the organization; ones who seemed to demand trust in their comrades, though there was clearly a double standard going on. Trust and respect were something that needed to be earned, not demanded… and if they wanted it, then they were going to have to give it in return.

It was as simple as this: enough was enough, and she wasn’t going to stand for it any longer than she had.

“..I have several assignments that will need to be completed; some of which are just a tad more… delicate than others.” Holding his gaze a few moments longer, Angela tore her eyes away from his to instead look around at the others in the room, her smile gone from her lips as the topic turned to what everyone else in the room had been waiting for, “There are two possible recruitment missions, one of a rather… sensitive manner, another that requires gathering information, and several escort missions of various importance.”

Once again she fell silent, allowing the information that she had just shared with the group to settle before she even began to think about handing the assignments out to those listening- many of them were eager to get going… some hadn’t been on a mission in quite some time; she could sympathize with their plight. She herself had been cooped up in the base for months, unable to spread her wings and to explore the what the world had to offer; though with her workload almost tripling in such a short amount of time-…

“Dearest cousin; you wished for me to cut this episode of happy families short in order to give out the assignments I have in my possession, well… let me do just that.” Seeming to have forgotten all about the yogurt which was still stood on the counter, Angela allowed her gaze to glide slowly over those surrounding her in the kitchen- all those familiar faces… those of whom she had grown so close to over the years. This was when she saw them light up- when she saw each and every one of them in their element; doing what they loved the most… even if they didn’t wish to show it.

“Winston dear… Erika… the both of you have been assigned to one of the several escort missions. I want you to keep in mind that this is of high priority; be sure to work together, and stay safe… the details of this mission, as well as the co-ordinance will be sent to your communicators. I suggest you both go and gather anything you will need; please pass by office before you leave.”

Nodding to the both of them so that they knew they could leave, she turned back to the others, her bright blue eyes once more hovering until they fell to a rest upon the next one that was to be called into duty… her cousin… though by no means had he given her a reason to allow him back into the field- she had given him a second chance… now he once more had to show her that he deserved as such… It was touch and go; but she believed in her heart that he would step up, and soon become one of the finest agents that she would ever have the pleasure of working with.

If only he could cut the attitude back for even a minute…

“Virgil- I want you to take Ansgar for his physical. This is also something that is of high priority, as I will not have him in the field without first being signed off. This must be done and completed as soon as possible.” Pausing for a brief moment, Angela let her mind wander slightly; perhaps this was a chance to see if he could rise to the challenge… if he could work with others without being an utter asshole to them… there was only one way to find out, “Once you have signed him off, I want the both of you to report to my office where you will receive your briefing about the assignment you shall be working together on. I shall have the mission files ready for when you come to see me.”

That was two down… two out of the four main assignments that she was going to be handing out this morning at least.

“Asbjorn… Lucas… Ajax- I want you to come with me to my office. There is a matter of importance I wish to discuss with you all. The rest of you are dismissed; and do not forget, training begins in one hours time. Have you not been given an assignment, I suggest you get ready for whatever it is that Fareeha has planned for you.” Motioning for the three boys to follow, Angela turned and began to lead the way out of the kitchen, seeming to not even pay too much attention as she wandered the many hallways, eventually once more arriving at her office.

“Close the door behind you- we four have much to discuss…”

Tbh, I wanted my char to text someone from your character pool, Vicier. But only Syleste seemed the even remotely plausible but she's blind and Idk if blind people can even read texts... So, sorry :/

@Legion02

Hahaha, yeah, there are a few ways for blind people to read text messages; there's text to speech (and vice versa), there's a technology that turns the messages into Morse code (she'll hear the message but unless someone else understands Morse code, they won't understand it), and then there's a new technology that was developed in Japan... it's a watch of sorts, it plays the message out in braille for her. And I believe I've seen a keyboard (a small one) that some blind people use, each of the buttons is in braille so that the person using it can understand what's being written.

@December; I'm happy with your character, I'll pop him across when I get the chance :'3

▲ OVERWATCH: A New Era. ▼ (Overwatch Roleplay)

Once again, I apologize for the long winded response, now, if you can excuse me, I shall go work on my post giving out assignments for you all :'3

@Caits@Vicier

I mean, I'm cool with it because I have a character who exists outwith forty posts of introductions and is doing stuff. I'm just worried that not much seems to be happening for the others.

I'm enjoying the slice of life stuff I did in introductions with Ana and Jack. Right now I'm loving cutesy old people remembering the good old days when they were soldiers while remaining a respectable distance from one another. My primary interest is finding somewhere for Genji to get some similar emotional scenes - breakfast chatting about the weather doesn't quite cut it. Plus, the faster he's out in the world, the faster real slice of life can happen with big brother Hanzo - a little "bromance-before-I-kill-you" :)

My characters are stagnating in Forks, Washington! It's like the Twilight Saga!

I'm glad though that Genji won't be missing out on much (except some weird ass touching). Right now I believe I'm looking for opportunities for him to make friends so that in future slow periods it's easier to find slice of life development, and the best way to do that is by fighting alongside... or against someone. Gonna send him to Carson City to help out the Overwatch agent he heard about stuck there!

@Jacobite

He's actually missing out on an assignment that was going to introduce another character, and that has to do with not only a not so good character, but also has ties with Ana. This was going to open up the roleplay and give him that opportunity to create new connections, and allow there to be a new location to explore (Egypt); I also accounted for the fact that his brother would definitely be looking for him, and with all of Egypt being their playground for the time being, and with the characters involved (introduced, yet to be introduced and NPC) I was sure it was going to make for some interesting interactions and bonding moments for the both of them.

Now... as for this other matter; and I know I'm going to cop flack about this, but... enough... please... If every time someone posts about something medical we're going to have long and winded conversations about it, then what is the point..? I am getting sick of this. And no, this is not an attack on anyone, I am just saying exactly what is on my mind at this point, because it happens with every damn post and it's just beginning to get old. Now, I understand that we've all discussed that posts involving OTHER PEOPLES characters are medically relevant, and as such, research into procedures and treatments is going to be a part of this roleplay; not to mention life-experience is also going to play a part in this. However, I am not going to sit here and read another twenty or so posts arguing about whether someone is arguing or not. I'm just not going to do it. If you're going to do that, take it to PM- I don't want to see it.

IF HOWEVER, you are going to have an intellectual discussion, much as adults do (and again, we're "adulting") then by all means, go ahead and converse here in the OOC, I will happily even join in on the action. I will not have anyone attacking another for their opinion in this roleplay; and I will not have anyone disrespecting, or making another person feel as though they are doing something wrong by speaking up with either a simple question, or a suggestion. Now, I have kept my mouth shut for quite some time; and I won't be doing that for much longer as I am getting tired. So, it's as simple as this:

THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU TYPE

This goes for everyone. I don't want to come in here, and every time I say something, have to write the words "this is not an attack" or need to write the words "I am just curious" for people to know that I'm not arguing with them. I'm sure we all understand that what we say effects other people, yes, but please do be mindful to keep that in the forefront of your thoughts while typing out a response to others in this roleplay. I want this to be a place where we can discuss things as rational adults, and actually have fun; not a place where we feel nervous to type something into the OOC because we're afraid it will be taken the wrong way, or where we're divided.

Now; I shouldn't have to say this, but this IS NOT an attack on anyone- it is simply me putting my foot down, and letting a warning out to everyone (INCLUDING MYSELF) before it ever gets to this point.

Now I do apologize to you all for having rambled the way that I have... so, I give to you, Angela's birds...
